Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 162 Leave
After buying these wooden sticks, Qingyan is going to sell food and seasonings first, but these wooden sticks are not easy to store in the space, because of the length, they are all stretched out of the car, and it is a bit unreasonable to disappear suddenly.

First, I went to a shop that sells seasonings, asked about it, and found that the seasonings inside were quite complete. Of course, it is incomparable with later generations, but it is much richer than what she imagined, only salt and soy sauce and vinegar.

It is estimated that there are more mutton here, and these seasonings can detoxify the mutton.

Qingyan bought a portion of all the seasonings she knew could be used, and also bought a lot of soy sauce and vinegar, and each bought a large clay pot, each of which was about ten catties.

Of course, she can buy more, but it's useless to buy too much of this thing, and it should be available elsewhere, so it's completely unnecessary.

As for salt, there is only coarse salt here, so she didn't buy too much, so she bought a catty.

The salt here is very cheap. I heard that it is because there is a place where salt is produced, not very far from here.

She was going to Yunling County to see if there was any fine salt. She heard from her parents that eating too much coarse salt was bad for her health.

Afterwards, I bought a jar of soy sauce, which can be used when stewing meat, or fried into meat sauce or egg sauce, and can be eaten directly as a dish.

It can also be made into pickles. I remember that grandma just soaked some garlic and diced dried radish in the sauce, which is better than eating cold.

Of course, it is soaked after frying. If it is not fried, it will have a beany smell.

As for the oil, because there is no vegetable oil here, most of them use lard and mutton fat, and she will just buy the fat and refine it herself.

After buying the seasoning, I went to the vegetable store and bought some radishes and cabbage. There are not many green vegetables this season. I also bought some green onions, ginger and garlic. I bought a few more. Even if there is no space, these things are easier to store.

Then I went to the grain store not far from the next door to buy grain and bought [-] catties of flour. The flour at this time was different from the flour of later generations, and the color was yellower.

There is a layer of yellow-yellow skin on the outside of the wheat grains. After removing it, the flour that is ground will be the snow-white flour of later generations. If it is not removed, it will turn yellow and gray.

And this noodle is not that thin, it looks like cornmeal, so this is not too much of a requirement, anyway, what she bought is just a spare.

She can't do things like steamed buns, mainly because she doesn't have the yeast powder of later generations, and she doesn't know how to leaven dough, so it's okay to make noodles in pimple soup and spread egg pancakes.

There is no rice here, only millet and sorghum, Qingyan bought a little bit, didn't buy more, just bought ten catties, millet can be cooked in the morning to drink millet porridge, she hasn't thought about sorghum yet, anyway, if there is room, she will go first Let it go.

I asked the buddy to help put it on the carriage, and then I went to the grocery store. Fortunately, there are not many of these things, and there is still room in the car, so I will not let Chouchou put it away.

When I arrived at the grocery store, there were many things to buy. I saw the large tanks and pottery products placed at the door of the store. I didn't need to buy large water storage tanks, and I didn't live here.

There is no shortage of water in the Chou Chou space. A few years ago, it dug a big hole in the space and made a pool of spiritual spring water in the Xiangxiang space, but it turned into ordinary water in the end.

I only bought a few jars, and I plan to put pickles in them. Yes, Qingyan plans to make pickles by herself.

Then I bought ten more pottery bowls and a pottery jug, the kind used to hold tea in the tavern before.

There is no need for plates, there are in the food box, two or three are enough.

After shopping around again, I bought a wooden shovel, a long-handled ladle, and two oilcloths. The oilcloth was only 1.5 meters by two meters. She wanted to buy a bigger one, but this was already the largest one. Yes, you can only sew them together.

It doesn't need to be so troublesome for her, anyway, she can use the plastic sheet before, this is just a cover.

Then I bought two more mats, still the same. There are only two left in this grocery store, and two are enough, because the people here are all used for kangs in the cave dwellings, so the mats are quite big. The one I bought before was used as a shed for a donkey cart, and it was longer.

Although there is also a fire pit for sleeping, it is smaller than the one in this cave. Like the cave they lived in before, the kang inside is very large, and it is no problem to sleep five or six people.

The people in the village below this town also live in cave dwellings, only this town has houses built with adobe or green bricks.

The main reason is that there are many shops in the town, and the cave dwellings are built on some slopes. Two streets are built facing each other like this. That kind of place is too hard to find. In addition, all the shops in the town have some money. Buy some Blue bricks or something is still possible.

After that, Qingyan bought two small baskets with eyes, which can be used to wash vegetables or rice, and bought a large wooden basin and two small wooden basins.

The big wooden basin is going to be used for bathing when the time comes. There is no bathtub in this shop, so I can only go to the carpenter's shop to order it. It may not be completed in a day or two, and it is not necessary.

For that kind of tub, how much water does it need to boil, and she doesn't like to take a bath, so this kind of big wooden tub for laundry is enough.

The small wooden basin was used to wash the face before, and one of the two small wooden basins is used to wash vegetables and the other is used to wash feet.

You don’t need to buy the baskets, the two before are enough, anyway, let Chouchou put them in the space if there are too many things, and I bought a few sacks by the way, the kind woven with hemp rope, used to hold things or Lay it on the ground.

After buying these, I feel that it is almost done, and I can continue on the road.

She also wanted to find a place where no one was around to renovate the carriage shed, so she turned the horse's head and drove the carriage towards the east.

When passing by Wangbawan, Qingyan asked Chouchou curiously again: "Chouchou, is there really a water ghost in there? Are there many water ghosts in there, or is there only the last one left?"

Chou Chou sensed it with his spiritual sense, and said to her: "There is no more, if there is one, there will always be dead people. It has been five years since the last one, and there is no dead person in the third year. It should be Someone made a supernatural rescue here and sent the water ghost away."

Qingyan regained her spirits when she heard it, "It seems that there are still some masters who have attained the Tao, so did the flesh on those white bones be eaten by that bastard?"

Chou Chou shook his head in the space, "No, bastards don't eat corpses, the corpses inside are eaten by catfish in the water."

"Catfish?"

When Qingyan heard this, she was a little surprised and said, "Catfish actually eat corpses?"

Chou Chou nodded, "That's right, catfish are scavengers in the first place, and they like to eat rotten animal carcasses, including human ones of course."

Qingyan suddenly felt some discomfort in her stomach. You must know that her favorite fish is catfish, because it has no spines and the meat is tender.

Grandpa knows that she likes to eat it, so he often cooks it for her, almost a few times a month. She never thought that this kind of fish would eat dead bodies. She felt as if she had indirectly eaten human flesh.

"Chou Chou, I ate so many catfish before, wouldn't I also eat a corpse?"

After hearing what it said, Chou Chou almost laughed, "The catfish you eat are all artificially raised, even if they are wild, it doesn't mean that there are dead people in any pond like this one.

If they only depended on eating the corpses of dead people, wouldn’t those catfish starve to death? It’s very rare that so many people died in this pond. That’s it, most of those catfish also ate the corpses of other fish or animals.

However, most of the catfish raised artificially in later generations are fed with feed. It is not easy for you to eat this kind of wild catfish.

Qingyan felt relieved, and asked curiously: "Are there a lot of catfish in here? Then the name of this pond is Wangba Bay, which is a bit of a misnomer. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it Catfish Bay?"

Chou Chou smiled and said: "Even if there are many catfish in there, no one has seen it, after all, the big catfish came out first, which is already preconceived.

In addition to the incident of the death later, no one would pay attention to the things in the water, and there were not many catfish in there, only a few dozen, and they were all very big, and they seemed to be quite old. "

Qingyan shook her head, "Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this topic, I can't look directly at the catfish now, let's talk about something else.

Take a look with your spiritual sense, there are several villages in front of you, find a place that is a little more secluded or spacious, anyway, a place with few people will do.

Let's make the carriage shed first, and if you want to rest at that time, just sleep in the carriage, and save yourself looking for abandoned cave dwellings. "

As for going to stay with other people in the village, she never thought about it at all. One is that Chou Chou cannot come out of the space, and the little leopard is also more troublesome, at least not for outsiders to see.

The other one is that she has a little self-knowledge about herself. It's okay that she doesn't encounter things, but she likes to meddle in things. It doesn't mean that there will be nosy things that need to be meddled in any village, but what if?
There are more villages to enter, and there are more chances of accidents, so it is better to hide.

Chou Chou didn't know what she was thinking, so he looked around on both sides of the east road with his spiritual sense, and said to her: "There is a village not far ahead, it should be the Gu family village that the elder brother mentioned earlier, it is far away The nearest village to the town is less than two miles away."

Qingyan nodded, she could see the village from Wangbawan before, so she knew it must not be far away.

And between the town and that village is a piece of farmland, I don't know if it belongs to the town or to Gu's village, maybe it's both.

Chou Chou continued: "Going further, there is another village, which is different from Gujia Village. The row of adobe houses in front of Gujia Village is next to the road, and the row behind is cave dwellings. There are more cave dwellings than adobe houses.

The adobe house in front should be relying on the road to do some small business. As for what to sell, I don’t know, because the house is empty now, and the doors are closed. I guess it’s because of the season. No more, and the food is out of season.

There are no adobe houses in the village further ahead, and there is wasteland next to the road, a large field behind it, and a row of cave dwellings behind it.

It should be because they are afraid that someone will steal food or ruin the crops, so it is safer to be separated by an open space.

There are only a dozen households in that village, and it is about two or three miles away from Gujia Village. The land here is really sparsely populated. "

Qingyan has already felt it. Before going to Hancheng, there are only a few villages far away. Unlike later generations, there are people everywhere.

Chou Chou continued: "Passing these two villages, there is a large open space, which is full of sand and gravel and cannot be planted, so there is no village, but there is a village on the opposite side of the road, which is similar in layout to the second village.

If you go five or six miles further, there is a temple on the side of the road. This temple is very similar to the three people surnamed He we met before. It is also made of blue bricks and black tiles. Many, it is also a Dragon King Temple.

This temple is not deserted, there are still incense in it, and there are two monks, one young and one middle-aged monk.

The statue of the Dragon King inside is quite similar to that. It seems that later generations also borrowed these statues when they filmed TV series. The statue of the Dragon King is very similar to the ones in the TV series of later generations. "

Qingyan said: "Aren't the TV dramas of later generations all filmed according to this history, especially those TV dramas with historical origins, they are all based on history.

Although people in later generations also have a lot of imagination, the prototypes of these gods should have been passed down from ancient times, and few later generations have made them up. Otherwise, why are those gods wearing ancient costumes?
Hey... It would be nice if there were no people in the temple. We can take a good look at the temple with the statues, and tidy up the car shed there.

There are two monks in this temple, so it's not easy for me to go in. After all, even if a little girl's family is going to offer incense, it's not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, so it's not good. "

If it is synchronized with the previous time, today should be NO.16. If it is the first or fifteenth day of the new year, you can also go in with some good men and women to worship.

Qingyan was interested and asked Chouchou to help her describe the appearance and attire of the two monks, whether they were the same as those in the temples of later generations.

Chou Chou: "The appearance of the two monks is very ordinary, no different from the people here, they should also farm the land to support themselves, and they are very tanned.

They wore ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and they didn’t wear cassocks. They just shaved off their hair, and the Buddhist beads on their bodies were not big, round wooden or bodhi beads, but one for each of them. String of erotic beads. "

Qingyan was a little surprised and said: "Grass beads? Isn't that what we wore bracelets to play with when we were young?"

Chou Chou nodded, "That's right, that's the one. They just chanted scriptures while twisting the grass beads. It's probably just a formality."

Qing Yan said in her heart, the monks in the Dragon King Temple are quite shabby, it seems that the incense in this temple is not prosperous.
