Inside was actually an agate cup inlaid with a gold animal head!
She had seen this thing in a documentary left over from the end of the world.
It is a product of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the only jade carving with beautiful colors from the Tang Dynasty. It is also the most exquisitely crafted jade artifact from the Tang Dynasty.
In the prosperous era of twenty or thirty years later, the value of this thing can no longer be measured in money.
This item is included in the first batch of the "Catalogue of Cultural Relics Prohibited from Exhibition Abroad" formulated by China.
Chen Jiao looked at the exquisite jade artifacts that had been preserved for many years, and she was shocked but also confused.
You definitely can't keep this thing to yourself.
But if she handed it over to the country, how should she explain where it came from?
She thought it was absurd that someone would stuff such a precious antique into her backpack.
Moreover, that person would not hesitate to be hunted down by others to get such a precious thing. I am afraid he will not just give it to her and let it go. He will definitely come back for her.
After thinking about it, Chen Jiao packed the things again carefully and put them away.
Lu Zhengxu has been increasingly busy with military training recently and usually has no time to go home for lunch, so he eats in the military cafeteria.
Chen Jiao was eating lunch at home alone, so she made herself some hand-rolled noodles.
In order to prevent weight gain from consuming too much carbohydrates, more vegetable leaves are put in the hand-rolled noodles than noodles.
After dinner, she took a short nap and then started reading.
When I was reading, I glanced at the old, yellowed medical books and cookbooks on the desk, and I thought of Mr. Xu and the old lady.
Naturally, I thought of the old man I met on the train.
When she was in the North City, she sent the pocket watch and address given to her by the old lady.
After arriving here, he sent another letter to the old lady and told her the address.
But until now, I haven't received a reply from the old lady.
Wu Guilan's reply has not arrived yet.
Although communication in this era is much more convenient than in ancient times, transportation is still very slow!
But compared to the end of the world, this era of slow transportation is also a blessing.
Chen Jiao was fascinated as soon as she started reading.
By the time she came to her senses, her eldest son and youngest daughter had already returned.
The two little guys were playing Gobang in the living room downstairs.
Seeing Chen Jiao coming downstairs, Xiao Nannan immediately ran to her, hugged her thighs, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Mom!"
Chen Jiao rubbed her little girl's soft hair, feeling a little guilty, "I'm sorry, Mom was reading a book today and forgot the time, so I didn't pick you and your brother up. How did you get back?"
Little Nannan tilted her little face up and looked at Chen Jiao with a smile on her face, "Mom, you don't have to pick us up. We came back with Brother Lele and Brother Kangkang."
After little Nannan finished speaking, she suddenly took out something wrapped in paper from her pocket.
Little Nannan carefully opened the paper layer by layer, and inside lay a piece of mint candy without any wrapping paper.
The little girl probably kept the mint candy in her pocket and held it carefully with her hands, so much so that it melted a little.
Little Nannan tiptoed and brought the mint candy to Chen Jiao, "Mom, the teacher gave out candy today, here you go!"
As soon as Xiao Nannan finished speaking, Lu Lingyang also walked over.
With a nonchalant look, he casually took out a piece of candy wrapped in the same way from his pocket, and said without even looking at Chen Jiao: “I have one here too. I don’t like it, but I’ll give it to you too.”
Chen Jiao's heart suddenly softened.
In those days, supplies were scarce, and the mint candies that the teacher gave them were broken into pieces as small as a fingernail. The two little guys actually resisted the urge to eat them and brought them back to her.
These two little guys were not raised in vain.
Although she didn't like candy very much, she thought that these were the thoughtful gifts from the two little ones and she didn't let them down.
She ate little Nannan's candy first and said, "Nannan, Yangyang, thank you. Mommy will eat one piece today and save the remaining one for tomorrow."
"Mom went to the city today and brought you some delicious food."
As she spoke, she took out a pound of fruit candies she had bought and handed them to the two little ones. "We still follow the old rules. You keep them for yourselves and can share them with your friends. But you can only eat three pieces a day at most. Eating too much will damage your teeth. Do you understand?"
There is no child who doesn't like eating candy.
Looking at the fruit candies, little girl jumped up happily, "Thank you, mom. My brother and I can manage our own."
Chen Jiao patted the two little guys' heads and said with a smile, "Go play. Mommy also bought mung beans and red beans today. I'll make mung bean cakes and red bean cakes for you later."
The two little guys each took two candies and went out happily. They were probably eager to share them with their friends.
Chen Jiao also entered the kitchen. She first soaked the mung beans and red beans in preparation for making mung bean cakes and red bean cakes later.
Then clean the bones, put clean water in the pot, add ginger and onion to blanch the bones to remove the fishy smell, and then add more water to boil the soup.
There were still a lot of dried mushrooms at home, so she soaked some of them and added them to the bones to cook together to enhance the flavor of the soup.
Although there is no meat in the bones, the aroma of the bone oil is still very tempting after it is boiled out.
Especially since Chen Jiao added dried mushrooms to enhance the flavor, the fresh and fragrant smell quickly spread out.
Dinner in those days was relatively simple, and most of the military wives were not in a hurry to cook, but instead gathered together to chat.
When someone smelled the fragrance, they couldn't help but drool and said, "Tsk tsk, Captain Lu's family really knows how to live. They are stewing meat again and the whole yard is filled with fragrance."
