Chapter 1 Newbie Gift Pack
In the forty-first year of the Jin Dynasty, it was late autumn.
On the side of an unknown path near the official road, a little baby who looked about five years old was supporting his chin with one hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Bai Tao never imagined that she would travel through time and become a five-year-old baby.
At this moment, a sausage was stretched out to her, interrupting her depression.
The person handing over the sausage said in a gentle and respectful tone: "Auntie, sausage, this fire, the sausage is ready."
Bai Tao came back to her senses, looked at the grilled ham sausage in front of her, and took it: "Yes."
Just as she was about to open her mouth to take a bite, she saw the person in front of her was still there. Bai Tao raised her eyebrows and said, "You should go eat quickly too. You have to travel later."
"Hey, hey, hey." Bai Dashan quickly responded: "Then grandma, please eat slowly."
Soon, Bai Dashan returned to the fire nearby and motioned for everyone to take one. He also picked up one and looked around.
So fragrant!
That is, how do you eat this?
This thing, let alone seeing it, I've never even heard of it before.
Thanks to my aunt, they can not only see her but also have food to eat.
Just when everyone was at a loss and looked at Bai Tao with curiosity, wanting to learn how to eat the sausage like her, Bai Tao angrily opened her mouth and took a big bite.
She had just crossed over yesterday, and encountered the Hu people from the border who took the opportunity to come for the "autumn hunt". She had to flee with the whole village. There couldn't be a more miserable time traveler than her, right? !
When the villagers saw this, they immediately understood.
Oh, so that’s how you eat it, so everyone followed suit and took a big bite.
When they saw this entrance, the villagers' eyes lit up.
Oh my god, this intestine... soft, fragrant, salty and sweet, even better than meat!!!
Bai Tao didn't pay attention to the expressions of the villagers. She was silently counting down according to the scenes in her mind: nineteen eighty-seven...three two one.
'Beep, the host successfully led the villagers of Taohua Village to survive for twelve hours, and the Wanjie Mall is open.'
what? !
It’s not a reward, but the opening of a shopping mall, the Ten Thousand Worlds?
The name sounds very noble, but she is penniless now and can't just pick leaves on the roadside.
As for the others... Bai Tao's gaze swept across the villagers scattered around. It was late autumn, and there was already a cold wind in the mornings and evenings. They were still wearing coarse cloth clothes and straw sandals. The people in the entire Taohua Village were extremely poor.
Bai Tao took another bite of the sausage and frowned. Could it be that these seven boxes of 350 sausages were the system's novice gift pack? !
The barbarians came with great force. Not only were the people of Taohua Village so poor that even a mouse wouldn't even go in to take a look, but even if they had anything, they wouldn't have had time to take it with them.
The group of people couldn't even bring a pair of chopsticks, let alone pots, pans, and bowls.
The fire for roasting sausages was made by an old hunter in the village who spent half an hour drilling wood to make fire...
Thinking of this, Bai Tao felt a little headache.
Forget it, forget it, it’s better to have something than nothing.
Besides, they escaped the "autumn hunting" of the Hu people, and the whole village was still alive, which was a blessing in disguise.
Soon, the ham sausage was finished, the bamboo stick was thrown away, and Bai Tao said loudly: "Dashan."
The villagers were both excited and thrilled to eat sausage for the first time.
Everyone was eating with great excitement, cherishing the food so much that they were afraid it would drop on the ground accidentally. They held it up with one hand and carefully supported it from below with the other.
Bai Dashan still had half of the ham sausage left in his hand. When he heard Bai Tao calling him, he immediately came over and said, "Auntie."
"How much ham do we have left?"
"This." Bai Dashan was stunned for a moment, his face showing difficulty, and he spoke haltingly: "Auntie, there is still one box left that has not been opened, and there are some more, some left..."
Bai Tao heard this and saw Bai Dashan blushing, and immediately understood. Well, he probably wasn't good at math, so he asked, "How many people are there in our village?"
As the village chief, Bai Dashan was very clear about this and blurted out, "My dear aunt, there are a total of 256 people in our village, including 122 men and 134 women."
"Oh, that leaves ninety-four."
Bai Tao's casual words surprised Bai Dashan. How do you know that when I haven't even seen it?
Seeing his shocked expression, Bai Tao scratched her head with her little hands. She didn't know how to explain the problem of fluent mental arithmetic for a while, so she said, "This is an algorithm. I'll teach you when I have time."
"Hey." Bai Dashan responded, grinning happily, "My aunt is really amazing."
At that time, the reason why scholars were so valuable was that the cost of supporting one scholar was so huge.
Bai Tao is so smart and generous, how could Bai Dashan not be happy.
The villagers sitting nearby also started talking at once, their faces full of pride.
"Of course, our aunt is very smart."
"It's just..."
"Our aunt is the smartest and most powerful person in the world!"
"..."
Bai Tao witnessed the villagers' blind admiration and respect for her when she traveled through time yesterday.
According to legend, there used to be a peach blossom fairy living in Taohua Village. He had great powers and protected those who escaped from war and disasters. He also gave these people the surname Bai.
Bai Tao is the descendant of the Peach Blossom Fairy. As the generations go by, their seniority is naturally high.
There have been several people with extraordinary abilities among the descendants of Peach Blossom Fairy, and the people of Peach Blossom Village strictly abide by the rules. Even though Bai Tao was soulless before she traveled through time, they still regarded her as someone who gained wisdom late and took very good care of her.
This can be seen from the fact that Bai Tao wears cloth shoes while the villagers wear straw sandals.
The clothes she wore were clean and had few patches, while the clothes the villagers wore had many patches.
Although they all ate corn, she ate dry corn while most of the villagers ate liquid corn.
You know, in ancient times, only people who did manual labor in each household could eat dry food, and it had to be mixed with wild vegetables.
When she was stupid, the villagers did not abandon her to fend for herself. They even fought with other villages for her several times, with bloody heads and broken arms and legs. How could Bai Tao, who had traveled through time, abandon the villagers and escape on her own?
At first, Bai Tao was still thinking about how to make the villagers accept the fact that she was no longer stupid, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the villagers were excited and happier than during the New Year.
The villagers were so happy that their voices were so loud, as if they were feeling proud of themselves for finally becoming mother-in-law.
"Just say that our aunt is not stupid!"
"Our aunt is just slow in developing intelligence!"
"As the old saying goes, capable people always speak late!"
"Our aunt is a very blessed person!"
"..."
A sausage is as thick as three fingers of an adult. For children under eight or nine years old, one sausage is enough for a whole meal, but for adults, it is not enough.
But there was nothing they could do about it since it wasn't enough right now. Bai Tao had already seen some villagers eating half of it and carefully putting the rest into their arms for the next meal.
