Those years when I cooked big pot rice in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 13 Did You Really See It?didn't lie to me
But looking at Aning's eyes that were as clear as clear water, Jing Zhao couldn't say anything.I thought to myself: Forget it, the child is still growing up, how can he do it if he is not full!

After Aning was full, he consciously took on the job of washing the dishes. Jing Zhao moved from the threshold to the side of the stone mill and sat down. Aning fetched water and washed the dishes by the well.

Jing Zhao pondered again with a straw in his mouth, but he still didn't understand what Ah Fu said.

Ah Fu said that he is invulnerable to all poisons and will not be bitten by snakes.The fact is that he was indeed bitten by a snake and almost died, and since he had the antidote on him, why didn't he save himself after being bitten?

Jing Zhao told Ah Ning about the conversation between Ah Fu and himself, and Ah Ning listened to him quietly.

Aning raised his head, there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his clear eyes, he lowered his voice: "Gu Heipao, do you know about the sacrifice?"

"You mean..."

Aning made a silent gesture on his lips, indicating that he has ears behind the wall.

The two quickly cleaned up the kitchen and went into Aning's room together.

Jing Zhao almost forgot that there are such things as sacrifices in this era!The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and in order to satisfy the will of the gods, sacrifices appeared.

First of all, the appearance of Ding is for sacrifice.During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the sacrifices were the most frequent and the scale was the largest. The most recorded sacrifice in history used more than [-] people.After the Warring States period, rituals collapsed, and this kind of large-scale sacrifice gradually faded out of sight.

But...however, this is Baiyue!
Qin Shihuang's unification pace has not yet touched the land of Baiyue!
Minyue respects snake culture, and the god they worship is a guy with huge wings behind his back and a snake tail on his lower body.

The plague that appeared 20 years ago was finally eliminated by praying to the heavens and Daxing sacrifices.I'm afraid that some people have already thought of offering sacrifices as soon as the epidemic broke out.

And this unlucky Ah Fu was treated as a human sacrifice, and was thrown into the snake nest full of poisonous snakes together with pigs and sheep...

Thinking of snakes, the cold and greasy touch instantly occupied Jing Zhao's mind. He was a little afraid of snakes, and couldn't imagine the feeling of such a creature spitting out snake letters and sliding across his skin.Just thinking about it made tiny shudders crawl all over his arms.

Jing Zhao shook his head, trying to shake the snake out of his head.

"If Ah Fu is a sacrifice, why did Shandan save him?" Jing Zhao said in a low voice.

"It means that he is useful to them, like you, is also useful to them. But..." He paused.

Jing Zhao asked, "But what?"

The melancholy on Aning's brows did not diminish at all, his tone was serious and cold: "If they get the key to your food storage."

Jing Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat covered his back.

He and Ah Fu are both foreigners, if you want to sacrifice, you must kill them first!Ah Fu did not die because although Shandan was ignorant, he was not completely ignorant. He still believed that the cure for the epidemic depended on medicine.

And he, compared to his status as a cook, they should value him more for having a small warehouse full of grain.

Jing Zhao suddenly panicked, and for the first time felt that having so much food was not a good thing.

"Then what?" he blurted out.

Aning slightly raised his eyes, and glanced at him lightly: "Sleep."

sleep……

After the boy finished speaking, he fell asleep, and within three seconds, even and steady breathing sounded from his side.

Jing Zhao couldn't sleep!
He is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves killing, setting fire and robbing.

Ah Ning's words completely caused Xiao Gu to fall into deep contemplation, and he forgot the question he was going to ask about Aning's life experience.

He sat on the bed with his legs curled up, facing Aning, who was sleeping soundly, and the moon that had been bright for 2000 years, and sighed all night long.

An Zhiping returned home in a daze, facing the vegetable soup made by his mother, he smelled it and pushed the bowl aside.

"I want to eat roasted oysters! Mother, I want to eat roasted oysters!"

He pushed the table away and stood up, the woman was at a loss for what to do with his rascally slapstick appearance.

She asked her son blankly: "Zhiping, what is oyster roasting?"

An Zhiping couldn't say that, he was just following the road, and heard they said they ate oyster baked goods.He just smelled that fragrance from a distance, the indescribably sweet and alluring fragrance, which seduced the gluttons in his stomach.

He hid in the distance and saw those people eating with greasy faces, stuffing the golden food into their mouths with big gulps. It was bland and tasteless inside.

He wanted to sneak in and steal a bite to eat, but he was eaten up by those people in a short while, leaving nothing behind.

An Zhiping returned home despondently, and there were only two bowls of dark, unappetizing wild vegetable soup on the table.

He lost his temper and quarreled with his mother in an instant.

An Zhiping howled and cried: "I just want to eat roasted oysters. If you don't make it for me, I'll starve myself to death. Anyway, you don't care about me."

"What are you doing?!" A stern voice came from the door, and An Feng stood there with a gloomy expression.

An Zhiping glanced at the door, and was so frightened that he swallowed back his tears, got up from the floor and hid behind his mother.

He is not afraid of anyone, but his father!
An Feng said angrily: "It's already messed up outside, you know how to make trouble at home all day long, you're not a good type! Why did I give birth to you like this!"

He pointed at An Zhiping and cursed angrily.

The woman was afraid that he would get angry and hit An Zhiping, so she hurriedly hid her son behind her back.

"Let's eat first." She beckoned An Feng to sit down.

"Where did you go today?" An Feng glanced at An Zhiping who was hiding behind.

He was startled, and replied honestly: "Father, that Gu Jiazui from Shangshiji has taken in many people and made a lot of food for them. The thing he makes is called oyster roast, which is very delicious." ..."

"Shang Shi Ji?" An Feng's expression changed instantly, "An Zhiping, your skin is itchy again! Who taught you to lie!"

No one in the world knows that Shangshiji is a black shop.

Gu Jingzhao is a fake mouth, and the things he makes can never have anything to do with the word "delicious".

In the famine year, every household has no food, he is a foreigner who doesn't even have land, how does he cook?Take bark or use grass roots?

An Zhiping was wronged, "Father, I really didn't talk nonsense!" He pointed his fingers at the sky and swore solemnly, "If I talk nonsense, I will be eaten by a worm!"

These words really startled his old lady, "Zhiping spit it out quickly, can you say this?! Be careful of the gods to punish you!"

The woman hurriedly took another three sticks of incense and worshiped the Sifang God in the yard, and poured some vegetable soup out before turning back.He warned again: "You must never say such things again in the future!"

An Zhiping stared angrily, completely stubborn and refused to admit his mistake.

An Feng thought about it carefully, and asked calmly: "Did you really see it? Did you lie to me?"
