Chapter 022 Yang Yuhuan

"Have a meal!"

Bai Yuqi depressedly threw down the stroller he had made for the little girl and looked towards Yang Zhao.

But Mrs. Yang Zhao exclaimed, turned around and ran towards the earthen stove. She was so absorbed in watching it that she forgot about the dried vegetables and rabbit meat stewed on the earthen stove.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, and the rabbit meat was not mushy, but the soup was almost dry for Ao, so he added some "fairy water" into it, and after boiling, he was ready to eat.

Naturally, the villagers were embarrassed to stay and eat... Even if they were embarrassed, the Yang Zhao family only had one clay pot for cooking. It was used for cooking and making soup. Who could eat it?

So after delivering a few sacks of salt blocks into the yard, they respectfully saluted Bai Yuqi, the "grand master", and left.

On the other hand, when Lao Cunzheng and Yang Tieniu left, he shamelessly asked Bai Yuqi for two "fairy fires" to illuminate, which were wooden sticks lit with the [Light Technique].

Because the skill level is too low, Bai Yuqi currently releases [Light Technique] once, and the light ball can only last for about an hour before disappearing.

Now that we know the benefits of this kind of "fairy fire" that is bright, smokeless, and most importantly does not require lamp oil, we still can't bear to get one to light up.

In the past, Kushui Village was so poor that they couldn't even light an oil lamp, so they could only work when the sun rose and rest when the sun came in. When had you ever seen anything light at night?

It is estimated that other villagers also want it, but they dare not speak to Bai Yuqi, the elder.

That is to say, Lao Cunzheng and Yang Tieniu relied on their higher status in the village and their closeness to Bai Yuqi, so they dared to ask for it tentatively.

Bai Yuqi doesn't mind bringing light to Kushui Village, but the problem is that he consumes too much mana, and what little he finally recovered was caused by him making furniture just now.

At this time, we really couldn’t afford twenty or thirty [Light Technique] lighting rods, so we could only pretend not to see the expectant looks in the villagers’ eyes.

Gouzi is now Bai Yuqi's "mountain" and errand boy, so naturally he stays and eats with her.

If Bai Yuqi didn't have his own mansion now, according to the rules, he would have to live with Bai Yuqi and take care of him at all times.

As a middle-aged man who is about to reach adulthood, Gouzi is naturally not suitable to live in the hut of a widowed person like Yang Zhao, and he can't live in it anyway.

So after dinner, he had to go back to his shabby thatched house that was almost collapsing to sleep.

Because I just made a lot of wooden basins, wooden barrels, large and small wooden bowls, wooden plates, chopsticks, spoons, spatulas, soup ladles and other daily utensils, I no longer need to hold a pottery bowl to eat.

Gouzi held the bowls and chopsticks assigned to him and sat on the armchair in a novel way, twisting around as if there were nails growing on his butt.

In the past, let alone serving the table, he would squat on the ground with a bowl or sit directly on the threshold to eat. He had never sat on a stool, let alone such a novel and comfortable "fairy chair".

As for what was written in the novels she had read before, about ancient people "sit on their knees and share meals", Bai Yuqi found it to be complete nonsense.

At least the old village leader, Yang Tieniu and other villagers, when they saw the tables and chairs made by Bai Yuqi, besides marveling at the sophistication of these "immortal tools", they did not show too much surprise. This shows that at least in the Tang Dynasty,

Almost modern furniture has been available in this era.

As for sharing meals, it is even more unreliable. Yang Zhao and Gouzi were not surprised at all to sit around the round table made by Bai Yuqi. Of course, it may also be because there are not so many rules in the countryside.

After Mrs. Yang Zhao brought up a can of rabbit meat stewed with dried vegetables and a large basin of corn rice, she served Bai Yuqi with a wooden spoon and placed it in front of her before going into the house.

"Foster mother, let's eat together! Otherwise the food will be cold after a while! Bring the little sister out too!"

Bai Yuqi greeted her quickly, and asked the salivating dog to move a high-footed baby dining chair he made and place it next to the round table so that Mrs. Yang Zhao could take care of the baby girl while eating.

Because the entire Yang family is under the name of Bai Yuqi, logically they cannot dine at the same table as Bai Yuqi, the "elderly master".

But Gouzi didn't understand these rules at all, and Bai Yuqi didn't care. In addition, Yang Zhao was a little curious about the high-leg baby dining chair.

So after hesitating for a while, he went into the room and took the little girl out. Under Bai Yuqi's guidance, he put her into the chair ring and then carefully sat down to eat.

Pure wild dried wild vegetables and hares are not easy to eat in modern times, so even if they are only seasoned with salt, they still smell very fragrant.

Although she was a little unaccustomed to eating corn rice, Bai Yuqi, who was so hungry, still ate a big bowl of it, and Gouzi almost choked himself to death.

Although Mrs. Yang Zhao looked very reserved with her head lowered, it could be seen from the speed of her eating.

She probably wouldn't be able to eat rabbit meat, which is a meat with a lot of salt, so she was too embarrassed to pick up the vegetables and kept sullenly grilling cornmeal.

Bai Yuqi had to stand up from the high chair specially prepared for herself and use her short hands to grab the chopsticks to pick her food.

In the end, she pretended to be angry and complained a few words, and then she was slowly let go and started to pick up vegetables by herself, but she only picked up dry vegetables and no meat. To put it bluntly, she was just making trouble.

After finishing the meal, Bai Yuqi held her round belly and leaned on the high chair to tease the little girl to eat. She clicked her lips and felt that today's stewed rabbit meat with dried vegetables was a bit too salty, which made her panic.

I guess it’s because I rarely eat salt.

Suddenly, she wanted to add as much salt as she wanted, but Yang Zhao accidentally hit it too hard.

From now on, I have to remind Mrs. Yang Zhao to put less salt in cooking. If there is salt, you can't eat it like this? You will have to suffer from kidney disease!

After the dog had eaten and drank enough, he went back to his little shabby house to sleep.

Bai Yuqi played with the little girl for a while, and suddenly remembered that she still didn't know what the little girl was called. She always called her a girl, a girl.

"Foster mother?"

Bai Yuqi asked casually: "What is the name of the little sister?"

"The baby's life is miserable. She died early and didn't have time to name her."

Yang Zhao, who was cleaning up in the yard, paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "I usually call her by her nickname Nini..."

"Ah...it's nice to be called Yang Nini."

"Then let me give her a name. How about...'Yang Yuhuan'?"

Knowing that she had accidentally touched Mrs. Yang Zhao's heart, Bai Yuqi couldn't help but laughed dryly and changed the subject by naming the little girl.

But the strange thing is that Bai Yuqi found that although she was in a low mood, she was not very sad. She didn't know whether it was because she was numb due to the hard life, or because she didn't have a deep relationship with Yang Shisan. This year
