Chapter 12: Out of Nothing
Mountain village in the evening.
Smoke curls up from the roofs of every household.
The cold wind that blew out was carrying bursts of meaty aroma.
It floated far away.
This caused dogs to bark and children to cry in the small mountain village.
Jiang Miaomiao could hear the baby next door crying for meat even though she was in the house.
In her kitchen, there was a pot of pheasant stewing, bubbling.
The aroma of chicken wafted into the air like white mist.
Jiang Miaomiao in the cradle was dancing and sucking her fingers.
fragrant!
The pheasant meat is so delicious, even more delicious than the chicken raised at home.
A real mountain delicacy.
She also wanted to have a bite, but unfortunately she had no teeth yet.
Her mother came towards her with a bowl.
Jiang Miaomiao was a little excited.
That bowl should contain chicken soup, right?
She stopped sucking her fingers, swallowed her saliva, and stretched out her wet little hands.
Chirping and shouting.
Mommy, hug me...
Lu Qingyao sat down next to her daughter, picked up the fingers she had sucked, and frowned. "Miaomiao's fingers have become thinner."
Then he reached into the bowl, stirred it, and spread it on the baby's tiny thumb.
Every finger was wiped, leaving no one behind.
Jiang Miaomiao felt her fingers were cool and green in color.
As soon as her mother left, she started sucking her fingers again.
Pah... bitter!
So bitter!
What did mother put on her hands?
Jiang Ziyan came over with a smile, "Mom, chicken gallbladder is quite effective. Miaomiao is no longer irritated."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
It's just a matter of licking your hands, but they actually smeared chicken gall on it.
"Well, apply it for seven consecutive days and she won't lick her hands anymore." Mother's voice came from the kitchen.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
Anoint it for another seven days!!
worry!
There were no pacifiers in ancient times, so how could she get through the long and boring infancy?
I pout and want to cry but I have no tears...
The aroma of meat wafted into my nostrils.
So delicious!
Mother came over with the chicken and placed it in the middle of the table.
Sprinkle some wild onion chopped into the pot.
Each person received a bowl, which contained little soup and a lot of meat.
Jiang Miaomiao also got a bowl, a bowl for free.
Her mother held her in her arms and fed her with a spoon.
Delicious....so fragrant!
Huh….
This is rice soup.
When was it changed?
Perhaps it was the fragrance in her nose that made her feel that all water was fragrant.
Jiang Zifeng finished a bowl, looked at his mother, and then looked at his brother.
Finally, he looked at the pot eagerly.
"There are two bowls left, one for each of you brothers." Lu Qingyao served him another bowl, and there was still one bowl left in the pot.
"Mom, I like celery. You can eat the chicken." Jiang Ziyan scooped out the last bowl from the pot and placed it in front of his mother.
"Brother, I'm full, you eat." Jiang Zifeng also pushed his bowl in front of his brother.
The pheasant meat is fragrant, but there is not much meat.
I sent two pheasants to my eldest brother's house, brought a bowl to the neighbors, and raised a few more.
We will have to live frugally in the days ahead.
The two children used to have a life of luxury, with no shortage of delicacies for every meal, let alone going hungry or cold.
But now, even a small bowl of pheasant meat has to be shared.
Lu Qingyao felt a little uncomfortable.
While the charcoal fire was still hot, I fried two more egg pancakes.
…
It's not daybreak yet.
Everyone in the family got up except Jiang Miaomiao.
Mother Lu Qingyao went up the mountain with an axe.
Big brother Jiang Zifeng was practicing boxing, "Ho ho ho..."
The second brother, Jiang Ziyan, was reading and copying as he went along. "To learn and to practice what one has learned, is it not a pleasure..."
Jiang Miaomiao drank milk, defecated and urinated, and continued to sleep.
Whether before or after the time travel, she has the habit of sleeping in.
Other babies are awake at night and sleep during the day.
Her daily routine is quite regular, which makes her mother feel much more relaxed.
After waking up.
He was carried out by his elder brother Jiang Zifeng to bask in the sun.
My mother said that babies need to bask in the sun and expose their buttocks to the sun every day.
So she is naked now.
So shameful!
"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a rapid knock on the door.
Not like my uncle, nor like my aunt.
The knock on the door was rude.
The two brothers looked at each other.
The second brother wrapped her up and held her in his arms, while the eldest brother went to get his mother's red tasseled spear.
"Squeak." The door opened.
A fat, middle-aged man came in and said arrogantly, "Where's your mother?"
The man was richly dressed in printed silk satin and a fur hat.
There were a few servants following behind.
Seeing that Jiang Zifeng didn't answer him, he curled his lips and said, "Boy, I'm asking you a question, where is your mother?"
"You're not at home. Who are you?" Jiang Zifeng protected his brother and sister-in-law and looked at him warily.
"When will you be back?"
"have no idea."
"Then I'll wait for her to come back." The servant dragged a stool in front of him.
Jiang Zifeng and his brother did not dare to act rashly, and dragged two stools to sit far away.
Jiang Miaomiao didn't dare to vent her anger for fear of causing trouble for her brothers.
About the time of an incense stick.
My uncle and aunt hurried over.
As soon as she came in, she asked the man politely, "Master Liu, what brings you here?"
Landlord Liu glanced at him and said, "Jiang Quezi, what are you doing here?"
"My sister-in-law is not at home. Mr. Liu, you can talk to me if you have anything to say. Please don't make things difficult for the children." Jiang Yunhu glanced at the three siblings and motioned them to go into the house.
"You damn cripple, are you lame or blind? Which eye of yours saw me embarrass the child?"
Landlord Liu stepped forward and pushed him, "Get out of here, and don't meddle in other people's business."
Jiang Yunhu is much smaller than Landlord Liu.
After being pushed by him, I staggered and almost fell.
Liu Yu Niang quickly supported him.
Landlord Liu walked around the yard and when he saw the chicken coop, his eyes lit up.
He ordered his men, "Go, bring me the pheasant."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cage containing the pheasant was carried out.
Jiang Zifeng rushed to the front of the landlord Liu, pointed the red tassel spear at him, and said, "Get out of here! Don't even think about taking my chickens away."
"Oh, that little bastard has quite a temper." Landlord Liu took a few steps back, curled his lips and smiled, the flesh on his face shaking with laughter.
"Someone, take this guy down... This gun is pretty good."
Two servants stepped forward and grabbed the gun barrel, trying to snatch it from Jiang Zifeng.
A servant held him and pulled him back.
Jiang Zifeng gritted his teeth and held the gun tightly, not giving in at all.
Several people were in a stalemate.
I didn't expect the kid to be so strong...
The door was full of villagers, but no one dared to step forward.
Jiang Yunhu stepped forward to help but was pushed away by Landlord Liu.
Jiang Miaomiao was worried about her brother.
She was screaming incoherently, "Mom...Mom, come back soon..."
Suddenly, the people who were pulling my brother knelt down one after another.
Jiang Miaomiao clearly saw that their legs were hit by the gravel...
