Kidnapping All Mankind
Chapter 52: Remember this smell
"What?" Next to the dining table, Jacques Huoran got up and knocked over the water tank, his body was soaking wet. The peasant woman who had just turned forty but had gray hair was undecided and stared at the table. Wu Qingchen, who recounted his experience: "You mean, the master of agricultural affairs has eliminated the summer service at home this year?"
"Yes, this is what Master Barris said personally. This year's summer campaign, the family does not need to participate again, and ..."
"William!"
Wu Qingchen's words weren't finished yet. The mother on the opposite side had yelled. Jacqueline grabbed her husband's arm, opened his eyes wide, and opened his eyebrows. Every wrinkle on his forehead was extremely unbelievable, but at the same time extremely extreme. The contradiction of joy is glorious: "William, did you hear me? The master said that this year's summer service was eliminated from the family, and there is no summer service this year!"
"His ... yes, yes ..."
Obviously, Jacqueline used a great deal of strength, and the old William immediately grinned his teeth and quickly answered, "I heard, I heard ... hiss ..."
"That is to say, we don't have to go to the commons this year? Can we do our own work? Is this true? This summer, we can do our own work?"
"His ... Really! Really work as you want, work as you please ... And, let go of me, my hand will be broken! Hiss ..."
While yelling and shaking his arm, the old William's twisted face can still see the smile, and the rosy face appears ruddy.
"Okay, okay ... mother, sit down first, sit down ... your clothes are wet, let's twist it ..." Idra, who sat on the other side, finally got up to help, half-pulling and half-pulling, Jacqueline finally returned to his seat.
"Father, we do n’t have to work in the commons, we do n’t have to go to the field to pull a plow, or do we have to get up at night to cook peas ..." Little Nina also came over, under the two dark circles, full of hope And looking forward.
"No, no, no more! ... haha, silly daughter ..." laughed old William, haha: "Swapping the summer camp, the benefits are not these, there is more summer camp time, a full ten days We can do a lot of things ... Don't you always want to eat cabbage and lettuce? In a few days, we can clean up the vegetable garden outside the house, add fences to it, loosen the soil, and go to the river Pick up the soil to accumulate some fat, and go to Uncle Richard's house to borrow some seeds. After one or two months, you can harvest at the latest in autumn ... "
"Don't you often say that hens and goats often run around the house, get messed up, and still steal food? Without having to work in the master's commons, we can ask for help and let us find some in the forest. Timber, and then build a large, beautiful livestock barn next to the wooden house. After you pick eggs and milk, you have to go next door ... and ... "
"And ..." Idra, who supported her mother, was equally radiant, and interjected: "With these efforts, we can harvest the forage that was too late before harvesting. While the weather is still suitable, take good sun and give Your friends prepare more winter food ... "
"You can clean up the house ..." Grace pointed to the roof that was dripping slowly above the bed where she usually slept: "Block all these **** places!"
"You can weed peas and green grass ..."
"Finally there is time to repair the ridges of the land by the river ..."
"Maybe you can open up a little more wasteland ..."
"Maybe it's ..."
Beside the dinner table, you say a word to me, the family is noisy, and various arrangements have been made for the ten days of free fall from the sky. The wooden house is full of eagerness and longing for the future.
Suddenly more than half a month, with more than ten days of free time, for a farmer family who has been tired for many years and has almost no rest throughout the year, it is a huge happiness that he never imagined.
Accumulated over many years, the life is so heavy that it can't breathe, and suddenly there are hopes of relief.
Leveling vegetable gardens, harvesting pastures, weeding corn fields, resting ridges, opening wasteland, and building barns ...
There are more and more arrangements for the family, the atmosphere at the dinner table is getting warmer, and the expression of the people is getting more and more excited. Only Old William frowned slowly.
"But with so many things ..." Suddenly, Old William tapped the table gently: "Maybe time is not enough?"
The few people talked down, and the chalet sounded a little worried voice from the old William: "... After all, the cows in the family just had an accident, and although there was a small Loss wound, there was still no way to work for a few days ... here I am afraid It ’s a bit delayed, and it will take a few more days ... In this case, you must think about your family's affairs first, and do the most important thing first ... ”
There was a sigh of regret in the cabin.
"Oh ..." "Yeah, it's a shame ..." "Harvesting grass first ..." "Damn burdock!"
"It's ok……"
Wu Qingchen finally waited for an opportunity to intervene: "The master steward said that the village belongs to the baron master ’s cattle farming. There are three cattle farmers who can go down to the land with only a few minor injuries. Head of cattle, at the same time, these three cattle can also be lent to us to plow the field, three days ... "
"What did you say?" "Lent us?" "Anything else?" "Three cows!"
The jug that had just been lifted by the dining table was stung again, and two seats beside it fell to the ground. Grace, who dropped the seat, opened her mouth and sat idly on the ground. Old William, Jacqueline, and Edra slammed at the same time. Standing up, six eyes shot completely unbelievable light.
"Yes, these three cattle can be lent to us to plow the fields ..."
"Oh my God! You are talking about something so important now ..."
I completely forgot that I just eagerly arranged the summer service time, and did not give Wu Qingchen the opportunity to speak at all. The old William who was confirmed was not only not happy, but rushed around, and quickly seized Idela and Grace after a few seconds: "I Della, go out now, go east, and go to Wolfe, Avilia, Tony, and Old Hott to see if their plows have been borrowed ... "
"Grace, go south and look for Richard, Freeman, and Ildroz, Kerry, Gillen. They have all completed ploughing, and see if they can borrow a plow ... ... hmm, it's so late ... it's too late, it must be too late ... hmm ... hmm ... "
"No ... don't go ..." Wu Qingchen hurriedly grabbed the two elder brothers who were quickly moving their legs: "Wait a minute ... wait a minute, listen to me!"
"Master Barrys also said that he could also lend us three plows, and other tools needed, as well as the three-day forage for cattle farmers, and ... In short, there will be everything, you do n’t need to worry!"
This time, Wu Qingchen spoke fast and spoke out in a series of words without leaving any gap at all.
"This ... this ... this is really ... I ... I ..."
Hearing this series of surprises, Old William was sluggish for a while, speechless for a long time.
"... I'm so confused ..."
After a long time, William finally shook his head and smiled: "... Master Master, who is the farmer and how could such a mistake be made ..."
On the one hand, Old William gently stroked Wu Qingchen's shoulders: "Los, you can see that the masters have great hopes. You must take good care of the cattle in the village ... well ... early tomorrow morning, You go and heal the cattle in the village. When that happens, you ... you ...
Speaking of which, Old William suddenly got stuck, "you" for a long time, but couldn't say anything after "just".
Frowning, groaning for a long while, old William suddenly laughed suddenly.
At this time, the middle-aged farmer who habitually wanted to give the younger son a command but couldn't figure out the specific content suddenly realized that his thoughts were superfluous.
What is commanded?
Burdock misappropriated livestock, family cows were injured, the family was suddenly in danger, and the whole family was at a loss; when they ran to the land early in the morning, people lived dry animals, rolled in the mud, tired when they were sore; Heavy rain, plow truck, regardless of the next days ...
Did he tell him to go to the priest? Ordered Little Los to look for herbs? Commanded Little Roth to heal the cows and lift the dilemma directly from the root?
When the agricultural officer came to find Los, and he tried to heal other injured cattle in the village ...
He also ordered Little Ross to save his family from summer service? Ordered to let Little Rose borrow oxen? Borrow a plow? Even get three days of forage?
What is commanded?
Did you tell Xiao Luosi to heal the cattle?
It was then that Old William finally understood what Rev. Praia finally said before leaving.
The oldest son, who looked up slightly before him, was waiting for himself to continue speaking. Old William looked complicated.
"... Nothing, you can rest assured."
For a long time, the old William finally shook his head slowly and gently stroked Wu Qingchen's head, and the old William smiled slightly: "Los, my son, I am really lucky."
"Well, let's do it now, Idra, Grace, since you don't need to borrow a plow ... come, come, sit down ..."
The sons were all invited to sit down, and the old William pointed to the pocket on the dining table: "... Let's see what the farmer master gave our little Los ..."
This was the pocket that the agricultural officer threw to Wu Qingchen. After the masters left, the old William began to inquire about Wu Qingchen's night experience. He had no time to take it apart and was thrown on the dining table.
"Well ... let me see ..."
Wu Qingchen was also a little curious, and unwittingly opened the thin line of the bag.
Fifty-two remember the taste (below)
"What's this?" The thin thread was completely disassembled, Wu Qingchen held up the open bag, lowered the mouth of the bag, put it on the dining table, and the family members who came over immediately saw a dozen long bars, light yellow, and palm-sized , Slightly bulging cuts on both sides.
"What is this?" Grace frowned, looking at Edra next to her.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it ..." Idra shook his head, expressing sympathy and doubt, and sniffing his nose. "It looks like something ..."
"Really ..." Grace sniffed, looked around, and quickly looked back at the dining table: "... Yes, it's a little ..."
This taste is very light, with a slight fragrance, it smells very comfortable.
Wu Qingchen lightly pressed the top cut piece. Its surface was very soft, and his fingers appeared a shallow indentation.
"Hmm ..." It seemed interesting, and Nina laughed, learning what Wu Qingchen looked like, and stretched out her right hand to the open pocket.
"Don't touch!"
There was an old William's voice beside him.
The first time he saw the things in his pocket, Old William widened his eyes. It took a long time to finally recover. Old William quickly grabbed the little Nina's outstretched arm and closed it with force: You can't touch it like that! "
"Father, do you know this thing?"
"I know ... why didn't I know ... How long has it been since I last saw this ..."
Staring at the cut in the pocket, Old William carefully extended his right hand and placed it half a arm away from the pocket. The deep voice trembled slightly, with an irrepressible emotion: "Master. ... I didn't expect that I could still see this in my life ... Children, remember the things in front of you, this is bread, old man's food ... "
"Bread?" Little Nina expressed a doubtful expression: "Father, we have seen bread! Shouldn't the bread be black and hard? When we went to church for summer prayer last month, the priest sent us a piece ... "
"Such a big piece ..." With the size of a fist, Little Nina couldn't help licking her lips. "They taste so good ..."
"Yes, the pastor's reward for summer prayers is indeed bread, but they are just black bread ... and this ..." Old William held his pockets: "This is the real bread, the food of the masters, the most wonderful thing in the world. food……"
The most wonderful food in the world ...
"They smell really good ..." Little Nina got closer, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
The most wonderful food in the world ...
Idra and Grace also stood closer, keeping their eyes firmly on the cut in their pockets.
The most wonderful food in the world ...
Wu Qingchen lowered her head and rolled her eyes involuntarily.
"Okay, okay, don't make it so tight ..." Old William tilted his head and looked at Wu Qingchen: "Los, how much do you want to eat?"
What does eating mean?
Wu Qingchen frowned.
"Do you want to eat now? You've been tired all night."
I didn't have time to poach in the past two days, and ran back and forth for the middle of the night. After hearing Old William's reminder, Wu Qingchen touched his belly and felt really hungry, so he took a piece of bread from his pocket.
"Okay ..." Seeing that Wu Qingchen didn't mean to continue, Old William turned around and glanced around his children: "Children, don't tell anyone about bread, don't Get in trouble. "
Old William's instructions are not exaggerated. In the medieval world, the mold was stained. The black bread that must be picked at the mouth is a treasure. The value of white bread is naturally even more amazing. A piece of white bread appears in the thief's den. May cause a **** conflict.
"Okay ..." Picking up the thin thread that Wu Qingchen had just dropped, Old William handed the bag to Jacqueline. "Cut it out carefully, there are a lot of mice at home ..."
"Well, what is this?"
After a short while, Jacqueline, who sorted the bread bags, suddenly showed a strange look. Several people looked at Jacqueline, and at the same time, she found that her open right palm was spreading two knuckle-sized small discs.
"This ... looks like an unused piece of iron ..." Idra pinched a piece. "... No, not quite ..."
"Not a piece of iron ..." Old William touched another piece: "Iron pieces are not so soft and not so bright ..."
"Perhaps the iron used by the masters is different too!"
"What's the difference between Master's iron? Haven't you seen the farm tools in the commons?"
"That's the iron for everyone, don't you use the iron yourself ..."
"Yeah ... I heard that there is a spoon for eating in Master's house ... Is this also tableware? Tableware for bread?"
"So round, how do you eat?"
There was a sound of discussion in the wooden house, and the direction became increasingly outrageous.
"This is a silver coin!"
When he heard "Is this also food?" And saw Grace put them in his mouth and bite him, Wu Qingchen finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Siller (silver coin)?" Old William studied the syllable issued by Wu Qingchen. "What is a silver coin? By the way, can this thing really be eaten?"
Wu Qingchen has entered a petrochemical state.
"Can't ..."
Wu Qingchen shook his head weakly.
From William and Grace, retrieve two polished silver coins with flat corners and obviously handmade.
The surface of the silver coin is obliquely marked with two lines of small print. The top row begins with Baron Acford's collar. The next two words are forks and forks, and the bottom row is all forks and forks ...
Fork Fork means that Wu Qingchen doesn't know it yet.
However, even with so many forks and crosses, Wu Qingchen can at least see that this is obviously a coin minted by the baron himself, which is about used for transactions between territories.
In the medieval world, "I haven't seen money" is not a joke, but a real fact. Most villagers have never seen such a formal currency in their lives. Usually, the fines paid by the master are in units of "slots." And most of the time it is directly calculated in kind.
"Okay, don't guess at it." Wu Qingchen shoved the silver coins back into his pocket. "This should be something of a farm official. It was about putting it in a bag and forgot to take it. I'll return it to the master tomorrow."
"And ... what is this?" Wu Qingchen looked at Jacques strangely, and under the guidance of the old William, he narrowed his pockets and looked around, as if looking for a suitable storage place: "Aren't you eating?"
"Let's eat?" Old William expressed a more strange expression: "Did you not hear the Master of the Farm Officer? This is your bread. Here are some food for you. How can we eat it?"
On the one hand, Old William pointed at his family members, Jacqueline, Edra, and Grace, all of which were taken for granted. Only Little Nina secretly swallowed a few saliva.
"Of course you can eat!" Wu Qingchen waved his hands quickly: "It doesn't matter, everyone eats, let's eat together."
"No! How can this be!" Old William had shaken his head quickly without waiting for others to respond. "Loss, you have to treat the cattle in the village starting tomorrow, you must eat better, there must be no mistakes ... these You have to put away the bread, so you can eat it alone! "
"No need, I can't finish it alone."
"Why can't you finish eating?" Old William said with disapproval, "Half a slice of bread with a meal, so many breads, how can you save only for a long time ..."
a long long time……
Wu Qingchen's eyes swept around the wooden house quickly, the dark roof, the dirty ground, the moldy pillars ...
This environment plus summer temperatures ...
Dad, please spare me!
The concept of bacterial virus did not exist in the Middle Ages. Villagers who could eat moldy dark bread would probably not agree with the meaning of "deterioration" ...
"Father, I really can't eat it alone ... And it only takes a few days to treat cattle farming, so I don't need so much, let everyone eat a little ..."
"It only takes a few days ... to eat a little ..."
I do n’t know what thought this old William touched. Suddenly, the gray-haired farmer lifted his head slightly, his eyes lost, his right hand holding his pocket was slightly trembling. Los, do you really want to feed everyone? "
Please eat!
"Yes, father."
"Well, Los ..." Old William finally calmed down again, and after a deep sigh, Old William opened his pockets again: "... This is your bread, you can really decide."
As he said, Old William carefully took out a piece of bread, slowly tore it into four, and distributed it to Jacqueline and himself and three children.
"Father, you eat too." Wu Qingchen tore off half the bread in his hand and handed it to Old William.
"No, I'm not hungry." Old William waved and waved away again and again, Wu Qingchen delivered it several times in a row, and then Old William finally took over the bread, leaving a small piece, and vigorously, firmly, the rest Slip back into Wu Qingchen's hands.
There was nothing in the wooden house for a while, holding a small piece of bread, the old Williams carefully torn into very small pieces, put it in his mouth and held it with almost no chewing action.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Wu Qingchen sighed deeply.
Wu Qingchen understands that due to time constraints and tiring agricultural work, when he usually eats, no matter whether old William, Idra, Grace, Jacqueline, or Little Nina, they all look like a cloud and a gobble, and at this time they With such small movements and such slow speeds, it is nothing more than trying to lengthen the time of tasting white bread and trying to remember this rare taste.
Looking at the people in the Middle Ages trying to remember the taste of white bread, suddenly, Wu Qingchen sighed deeply.
Remember this smell.
Wu Qingchen told himself.
