"Uncle Mo, thank you."
Ye Chen thanked him sincerely, and then raised his hand to take the wooden bowl.Since ancient times, many people have added icing on the cake, but few are willing to give charcoal in a timely manner.
Especially for a child like a beggar like him.
"Hurry up and eat, this barley rice is just out of the pan, and it's still hot."
Old Mo said with a light smile.
Ye Chen nodded, feeling moved in his heart, and then put his gaze into the wooden bowl.
He saw some blue-yellow wheat in the bowl with distinct grains. He had never seen this kind of food.
But at this time, Ye Chen was already hungry, and he didn't have the heart to think too much, so he directly grabbed the wheat rice in the bowl with his hands and filled it into his mouth.
But as soon as he took a bite, he started to cough, and he only felt a pain in his throat, as if he had been pierced by thorns.
Seeing this, Lao Mo said, "Don't worry, take your time. This barley rice is a bit rough, so you should chew it more when you eat it, or it will hurt your throat."
The so-called wheat rice, as the name suggests, is a meal formed by simply steaming wheat.The taste of this kind of thing is very bad, and it is difficult for modern people who are used to fine food to swallow.
The only benefit is to fight hunger, which belongs to the staple food of the middle and lower class people in this era.
After a while, Ye Chen said, "Uncle Mo, why don't you use a stone mill to grind the wheat into flour? The outer layer of wheat bran is not for human consumption at all."
Hearing this, Lao Mo was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and replied: "Stone mill? You should be talking about the 硙, right?
Although that thing can crush the wheat, it is difficult to separate the wheat flour from the bran.
A catty of wheat can only be ground into one or two grains of wheat flour, and it is extremely troublesome to make. Only the really rich can afford it. "
(To be continued...)

Hearing this, Ye Chen also understood a little bit. In this world, there is no compound stone mill, and it is very difficult to eat flour.
As for the 硙, it is a tool similar to a mill, which can crush crops but cannot directly separate wheat bran from wheat flour.
It is precisely because of this that although wheat is the main food of the common people, it is difficult to carry out more processing. The only food that ordinary people can eat is barley porridge and barley rice.
While Ye Chen was thinking, he grabbed the wheat rice in the bowl and put it in his mouth, chewing it constantly.
Although the taste of this thing is very bad, but now I am not qualified to pick and choose, it is already very good to have a stutter.
Enduring the extremely rough taste, he ate the steamed wheat in mouthfuls, and then handed the wooden bowl to the other party.
"Thank you, Uncle Mo!"
This is his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. Although the taste of wheat rice is very bad, it is also very anti-hunger. After eating a bowl of rice, the empty stomach suddenly filled up.
Lao Mo took back the wooden bowl and said with a light smile: "You don't have to be so polite, who hasn't had a difficult time, in today's world, only by helping each other can we survive."
As he spoke, a look of emotion appeared on his face.
Hearing the words, Ye Chen took advantage of the situation and asked, "Uncle, I came here after fleeing from disaster. I don't know where this place is?"
If you want to survive in this world, you must have an understanding of the environment.
Lao Mo didn't doubt that there was it, and replied: "This is Sanghai City, because it is relatively close to Linzi, so it is quite prosperous."
"Linzi?"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he accurately captured a key message.
"That's right, Linzi, the capital of Great Qi."
Lao Mo added something.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression couldn't help changing. He still had some impressions of Linzi.
Then he asked: "Then in the west, is there another Qin country?"
"That's right, Qin State is the most powerful country today, and Qin's army is as fierce as tigers and wolves. No one dares to provoke them. But our Qi State is not weak, even Qin State can only be friendly."
Lao Mo replied.
Hearing these words, Ye Chen felt a lot more at ease. He could already be sure that he had traveled to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Although this time period is undoubtedly a chaotic world, at least it is still on the earth, which is much better than traveling to some other continent.
And relying on his own understanding of history, the hope of survival is even greater.
Thinking of this, a look of hope flashed in his eyes.
However, I still need to know more about the details, and then asked: "Then Uncle Mo, do you know who the current King Qin is?"
Hearing this, Lao Mo thought for a while, and said: "Old King Qin has been on the throne for a long time, and he died a year ago. Then he was succeeded by his son An Guojun, but this person did not take the throne for a long time. died.
Now the new king of Qin has just been appointed, it seems to be called winning, what is winning? "
Regarding these things, he only heard other people talk about them, but he couldn't remember them clearly for a while. Needless to say, the king of Qin has changed quite frequently in the past few years.
"Win Zichu?"
Ye Chen interjected.
Lao Mo patted his forehead, and said quickly: "Yes, that's the name! I heard that this person was still a proton in Zhao State before, and he only returned to Qin State a few years ago. He didn't expect to become the king of Qin State so quickly. .
After the words fell, Ye Chen's expression couldn't help being moved. Yingzi Chu was originally named a different person, but he was the grandson of King Zhaoxiang who had been waiting for a long time. Arrived in Qin State.
In order to gain more support, he adopted Mrs. Huayang as his son. Because Mrs. Huayang came from Chu, he changed his name to Zichu.
Now that Zi Chu succeeds to the throne, it means that the Warring States Period has come to an end, because he has a very famous son—Ying Zheng!
Perhaps it was Zhaoxiang King Yingji who was too able to live, which made his son and grandson short-lived. If there is no accident, Zichu will pass away due to illness in at most three or four years, and his son Yingzheng will inherit the throne !
Calculated according to this point in time, Ying Zheng is about ten years old now, and he is about to return to China, and a new chapter is about to begin.
In the near future, unprecedented unification will appear!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help feeling a little yearning and excitement in his heart. Being able to witness such a period of history is also a kind of luck.
After understanding the background of today's era, his heart is also much more stable.Relying on his own knowledge of history and his vision beyond the times, if he can seize the opportunity, he may be able to achieve some achievements.
"Little brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing that the former was distracted, Lao Mo asked a question.
