"Aunt Lin..."
"What's wrong? This cake tastes pretty good. I wonder what it's made of."
Jing Yao looked at Aunt Lin chewing her food and her expression that seemed to be savoring the taste, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
Seeing that Aunt Lin was about to break the cake again, Jing Yao stopped her.
"Auntie Lin, are you sure you still want to eat?"
"What's wrong? This cake is delicious."
Jing Yao sighed inwardly.
“This is a mosquito cake.”
“····”
"What...what cake?"
Aunt Lin doubted what she had heard.
"It's what we catch to exchange for points."
Aunt Lin's eyes widened and she rushed into the kitchen, picked up the cup and started rinsing her mouth.
This is the normal human reaction.
It was unlike her in her previous life, when she had been eating mosquito cakes for a long time, and only finally found out what the raw materials of the cakes she was eating were.
It’s just that everyone has long been used to it and it doesn’t matter what it is.
"Why does the country give us this kind of cake?!"
"There's no food."
Aunt Lin fell silent after hearing this answer.
She forgot that just because the Jing family had food didn't mean every family had food.
"What smells so good?"
Grandpa came to inspect the incense and saw the cakes on the table. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
Jingyao and Aunt Lin looked at Grandpa in surprise.
"grandfather···"
"Old man..."
Do you have to be so quick?!
"What's wrong? This cake is delicious. It tastes like the bittersweet rice I ate when I was a kid. What is this?"
“Mosquito cakes...”
Jingyao whispered, and Aunt Lin touched the cup and pushed it to Grandpa's hand.
"Mosquito cakes?"
Grandpa's hand paused.
Then, under the surprised gaze of the two people, he broke off another piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Grandpa, you..."
"Yaoyao, do you still remember our family's Yikusitian rice?"
Remember the bitter past and think of the sweet future?
How could Jingyao not remember that there was such a meal every year, and the food on the table was all wild vegetable roots, field mice and the like.
Even the rice was brown rice with the husks not removed.
The reason for this meal was because of the "Long Sword General" of their Jing family.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, living standards gradually improved. The old man saw that the younger generations in his family were becoming more and more unreasonable, so he established the rule of having a meal every year to recall the past and cherish the present.
"One of the dishes on the original "Yi Ku Si Tian" rice was made of mosquitoes."
Jing Yao was a little surprised. When this custom was passed on to her, the so-called "recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past" rice was just wild vegetables and steamed bread.
I didn't expect there were mosquito cakes.
"My grandfather and his comrades participated in the war of resistance against Japanese aggression. They were out of food for almost a week in one place. They ate all the grass roots nearby. It was really the mosquitoes that saved their lives."
It was the first time Jingyao knew that her ancestor had experienced such a thing.
But even so, grandpa can't eat all the mosquito cakes.
Different environments will make species different.
"But, Grandpa, these cakes..."
"I know what you want to say. Things are different now. Just try these cakes."
Of course Grandpa knew what Jingyao was worried about.
Seeing that grandpa had agreed, Jing Yao took the pancakes.
"Then I'll take care of these."
It can be used to feed Jixiang and the poultry on the farm.
Jing Yao turned around and went upstairs into the space. The chicks and ducklings on the farm had grown a lot.
Jixiang was chasing ducks all over the yard, and Gongxi was picking up the duck feathers that had fallen on the ground behind them.
"auspicious!"
Hearing his master calling, Jixiang turned a corner and ran over.
"Awoo~Awoo~Awoo~" (What smells so good)
Jixiang grabbed Jingyao's legs, wanting to see what smelled so good.
Jingyao broke off a small piece of mosquito cake and handed it to Jixiang.
Jixiang sniffed it a few times, then opened his mouth and ate it.
"Awoo!" (delicious)
Judging from Jixiang's appearance, it seems that it likes this mosquito cake very much.
Jingyao broke a whole piece into pieces and fed it to the dog.
Leave the rest to Gongxi, and tell it to feed Jixiang occasionally.
"Master, can I use these to feed the poultry?"
Congratulations on detecting that these biscuits are rich in protein and very suitable for feeding poultry.
“Ah~ah~”
Congratulations! How dare you steal my uncle Jixiang's food? I'll bite you to death!
Jixiang's teeth were almost broken after taking a bite.
“Ouch~”
Jingyao couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You idiot, congratulations it's a robot, you bit it in the teeth and don't want it anymore?"
“Ahhhhh!!”
It stole my food!
Jixiang stared at the pancake in Gongxi's hand with a look of resentment.
"Alright, alright, I'm not going to give you any less food."
Jing Yao knocked its head unhappily.
Jixiang rubbed back and forth on Jingyao's legs, not looking like a wolf at all.
Following the catching of mosquitoes, the country finally issued an announcement on catching green nematodes.
Just like catching mosquitoes, it is also used to redeem points.
Soon everyone discovered that the distribution point not only gave out black cakes, but also gave each person a small bag of something similar to crispy bones.
The taste was much better than the black cake, and it was very popular among the people for a while.
During this period, Meng Mingyuan invited her to the Green Bar more than once, but Jing Yao refused with various excuses.
But this time the reason made Jingyao unable to refuse.
"Xiaoyao, our class reunion will be at the Green Bar the day after tomorrow."
After reading this message, Jing Yao really didn't want to go. It was already this late, and she was still thinking about having a party.
