"So you're Brother Ah Fei's wife. You're really pretty.”
" Auntie, you misunderstood…" Zi Wei quickly explained.
"Brother Ah Fei has never brought a girl home before.”
"Could it be that you're pregnant, brother…?”
"Pregnant…?"
"Mom, the more you talk, the more ridiculous you are. Ziwei and I are not married at all. Don't make up stories…" Yun Fei said angrily.
Ziva exclaimed," You're not married yet, and you're already pregnant, brother. Don't tell me you got on the bus first and then paid for it later, brother?"”
Yun Fei's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep tone,"Ziwei isn't pregnant, and we didn't get on the bus first and then make up the tickets later. We're just a normal couple, and we've only held hands.”
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ziva stopped smiling. You even made us think that you're already married…"
Yun Fei said angrily,"I never said that we were married or pregnant. It's all your nonsense."”
Jiwa held Ziwei's hand." It seems that our Brother Fei likes your brother very much. You're the first girl he brought back."”
Zi smiled and introduced herself,"Hello, Auntie. My name is Zi Wei."”
Ziva laughed." Why are you two so dirty? Did you just come home from a field fight?" The bed in our house is very big and very comfortable. We don't need to play outside.”
"Fight in the wild…?"
Yun Fei's face darkened." My mother is full of nonsense. We were dirty because we happened to be on the train during the earthquake. The train overturned and we escaped from it.”
"The overturned train reported in the afternoon news was the train you were on?"”
"Yes, I am."
"You guys are really lucky. That train almost fell under the broken rock. I heard more than a hundred people were injured.”
"Have you eaten?"”
Zi Wei was so hungry that she grumbled, We haven't had dinner yet, I'm hungry…"
"You can still eat?" Yun Fei smiled bitterly. Did she eat so much on the train during the day?”
"Am I hungry? I want to eat!”Zi Wei said loudly.
Jiva patted Ziwei's shoulder and said,""It's okay. Let's finish dinner first before taking a shower. There's nothing good to eat here in the countryside. Please be patient.”
Zi Wei suddenly smelled a fragrance. It was the fragrance of rice with the bamboo of nature. It was really fragrant.
"Auntie, what are you eating?”
"This is our dinner. We're eating bamboo rice.”
"Bamboo rice…?"
Bamboo tube rice was a famous delicacy of Taiwan's aborigines. It was cooked by placing white rice in a bamboo tube. Accompanied by the natural fragrance emitted by the bamboo, it tasted especially fragrant and delicious.
The bamboo rice would emit a faint bamboo fragrance. On the surface of the rice, one could see a layer of bamboo film attached to it. When eaten together, one could taste the sweetness and softness of the rice, as well as the fragrance of bamboo.
The aborigines of bamboo rice were called Drugu. In the early days, the aborigines mainly hunted and would stay in the mountains for a long time. Therefore, they would carry some rice with them to satisfy their hunger. Since there were no cooking utensils in the early days, and bamboo was a very easy material to obtain, when hunting, the aborigines would casually take a bamboo joint to make a bamboo tube, then stuff the white rice into the bamboo tube to cook and eat. This was the origin of bamboo rice.
Zi Wei picked up the bamboo rice and ate it heartily. She used her hand to scoop the rice and put it into her mouth one bite at a time. The way she ate was very funny.
"This bamboo rice is really delicious. The fragrance of the bamboo is simply overwhelming. It's as if I'm in the wilderness of nature. My mouth is filled with the fragrance of bamboo.”
"The taste of this rice is similar to that of oil rice. There are marinated mushrooms and meat pieces added to the rice. When paired with white rice, it has an even more chewy texture. It's really a wonderful and delicious dish.”
Seeing Ziwei eating so happily, Jiva was also very happy. She said,"Since we have eaten the aborigines 'delicacies-bamboo rice, we have to drink the aborigines' healthy drinks.”
"What's the aboriginal health drink?”Zi Wei asked.
Ziva took out a glass bottle of wine and said,"This can is millet wine that I brewed myself.”
"Millet wine…?"
Millet wine was the most primitive wine in Taiwan. It was said to have a history of nearly a thousand years. It was usually used in harvest ceremonies to represent the message of a bumper harvest. The raw material was millet, also known as millet for short. Millet was a kind of fodder crop and grain with a small seed shape. The plant was about one meter tall.
Millet wine had many benefits for the body. In the past, when the aborigines lived in the mountains, food was not so abundant, so millet wine became the main drink in their lives. Although the aborigines lacked resources, their weak bodies had unknowingly become stronger because of the nutrition in millet wine.
The nutritional value of millet was very high. The content of protein and fat was higher than that of wheat flour and rice. Among them, the content of calcium, iron, phosphorus, beta-renes, and fiber is only lower than that of oats and close to brown rice. It is a healthy food.
The alcohol content of millet wine brewed from millet was low, and it was rich in nutrients such as sugar and vitamins. It was a very nourishing drink and was quite beneficial to the human body. Drinking it in appropriate amounts could help expand arteries, reduce blood pressure, and help promote blood circulation. Drinking a small cup of millet wine before going to bed in winter had the effect of warming up the body. After drinking for a while, it could also improve the cold condition of the hands and feet.
The method of making the millet wine was to grind the millet after smashing the shell into millet paste, put the millet paste into a cloth bag, and then dry it into a paste. The millet that had already formed the paste was tightly wrapped with reed leaves in a suitable amount of strip method, and then cooked in a water pot. After cooking, the reed leaves were removed. When making the wine, a small ball of cooked millet paste was twisted, and after mixing with saliva in the mouth, it was spat out and placed at the bottom of the wine jar. The cooked millet paste was twisted by hand and placed into the wine jar. Grind wheat and other edible plants into powder and sprinkle it on the top layer to become seasoning. Cover the top layer of the wine jar with mushroom leaves, seal it with leaves, and then cover it with stone slabs. The longer the millet wine is brewed, the more mellow it will be.
Zi Wei smelled the mellow taste of the millet wine and couldn't help but feel a little drunk. After drinking a mouthful of millet wine, her cheeks instantly turned red and tender, as red as fresh and beautiful hearts. Yun Fei looked at Zi Wei's red cheeks in a daze. He suddenly felt that Zi Wei was so beautiful…
