Because the bean sprouts had a beany smell, Urhan didn't like it very much. Jiang Rui didn't let him taste it later, but she still wanted other people of the Di tribe to try it.
She did not let Urhan try to eat bean sprouts on a whim, nor did she mention the dietary structure of the Jokhao people in front of him for no reason.
She always remembered Princess Chaoyang's last wish, and hoped that the two countries could make good friends and the border would be peaceful.
But this kind of thing is not something that can be done once and for all through a friendly princess. Temporary friendship can be exchanged for short-term peace, but once these nomads encounter a natural disaster and food shortage, the predatory side of their nature will rise, and their survival instinct will drive them to attack other countries.
Even if she can persuade Ur Khan to give up the idea of attacking Joshua, but he still has so many people, maybe they will obey him in a day or two, long-term hunger and patience, sooner or later, will make them abandon this unfamiliar. The king who puts the safety of his people first.
Therefore, Jiang Rui needs to change her mind, not just relying on Ur Khan to deter the clansmen.
She is just trying a little bit now. In the world she went to before, it is not that such things have not happened in history.
At present, these tribes on the grassland are completely nomadic people. She wants to see if it is possible to slowly transform them into semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural living conditions.
Although Beidi has a relatively cold climate, it is not without cold-resistant crops, and the land is still fertile. As long as the sources of food are extensive and the variety increases, the possibility of survival will certainly increase.
No one doesn't want to live. If they don't have to risk their lives, they can get enough resources to survive. I am afraid that apart from war madness, few people are willing to have wars.
She did this not only to fulfill Princess Chaoyang's wish, but also for herself and Ur Khan. If there was a war between Beidi and Da Zhao, in terms of their identities, it would be difficult to continue to live in harmony.
Of course, this is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. What needs to be done is not something that can be solved by sending one or two buckets of bean sprouts. Jiang Rui is not in a hurry, she has sufficient patience, and bean sprouts are just an opportunity.
Because they live in tents, some Di people cook in the open air outside the tents.
Before dinner, Jiang Ruite ordered them to move the stove tonight outside the tent, and also move out the bucket of bean sprouts that were added later.
The movement near the king tent is always easy to attract attention. This is the first time that the Dazhao people who served her have been cooking outside for so long since the Yan family came to the Di family. Although they are curious, they can restrain themselves from watching After a few glances, those lively and active children quickly gathered around one by one.
"what is this?"
"Da Zhao's pot is different from ours."
"What's in those little jars?"
"Do the Yan family and the Great Khan eat the same food as us?"
A dozen or so little peas formed an arc, chattering and whispering, like a group of curious birds.
Finally, Hassan couldn't help it, pointed to the wooden barrel and asked Qiuhua, "What's in this round barrel?"
During this time, the people of the Jokhang Palace were working hard to learn the Di language. Although they were not as fast as Jiang Rui before, they were still able to cope with daily conversations.
Qiuhua stroked the blades of grass covered in the bucket, and said with a smile, "It's bean sprouts, made of mung beans."
The blades of grass were completely opened, revealing the bright yellow bean sprouts inside.
"Wow, the grass is so neat!" Hasson exclaimed.
"let me see!"
"I want to see too!"
All the other children squeezed over, clinging to the edge of the barrel in curiosity.
"What kind of grass are bean sprouts? It's not like anything we've seen before."
"Why plant grass?"
"Why don't they have green leaves?"
Questions were thrown from those immature heads one by one, and Qiuhua answered patiently.
So these children quickly learned that bean sprouts are different from the grass that can be seen everywhere on the grassland. They are made from green beans and can be eaten.
After Qiuhua said that everyone present today can eat bean sprouts, children, look at me, I look at you, with obvious hesitation, because in their opinion, even if bean sprouts are not green, they are grass after all. They are not lambs, so why eat grass
But I was too embarrassed to say refusal, so I had to wait for a while to eat grass.
The person in charge saw the child's doubts, and he held back his energy.
The aroma different from the barbecue gradually spread, and the anxiety on the children's faces disappeared.
Jiang Rui didn't go out in the tent. They were displaying items from Dazhao today. It was inevitable that some of the older Di people would be repulsive. If she was present at this time, it would be too deliberate and it would be easier to make people vigilant. Anyway, How to do it, Qiuhua has been told before, I believe she can do it well.
Ur Khan opened the curtain and walked in, raising his eyebrows slightly, "What's going on outside?"
Jiang Rui turned the book in her hand and said, "There are too many bean sprouts. If you don't eat them, they will rot very quickly, so please ask Hassan and the others to help you solve it."
Ur Khan sat down next to her, probably riding a horse, with a faint smell of sweat on his body.
"Are you against them touching these?" Jiang Rui turned her head to look at him.
"No." Urhan paused, then added, "I've been thinking about what Mrs. Ye said in the morning. There is indeed a lot to learn in Zhongzhou. It will be good for those boys to know more."
Just Jiang Rui said that there are many kinds of food in the Jokhao people, and Urhan thought about it for a day.
Like all nomads, the Di people's food comes from cattle, sheep and dairy products. They don't eat anything else, so it is easy to cause food shortages, but this is not the most terrible thing. If a plague occurs, That is the catastrophe.
I remember hearing his father Khan say when I was a child that there was once a tribe. Because of the epidemic of cattle and sheep, people ate their meat and milk, and they were also infected. Many people died, but for those who survived, the disaster has not yet passed. , Because there are no cattle and sheep, they have no food source. Some people starved to death, some people took refuge in other tribes, and some even volunteered to become slaves. Once a powerful tribe, it fell apart in an instant.
Ur Khan considered whether there was a way to change it, but the grassland was no more fertile than Zhongzhou, and there were no people familiar with it in the clan, so it was not easy to change.
He knew that the Yan family might be able to do this, but if it wasn't for her willingness, he didn't want to force her.
"What book are you reading?" Ur Khan squinted to recognize the dense Chinese characters on the book, and successfully found that he didn't recognize any of them.
"An agricultural book." Jiang Rui didn't hide it. "I want to grow something to play, and maybe bring those children with me. You won't object, will you?"
Ur Khan immediately understood that his family had thought with him and had already taken action.
He was a little excited, so he could not help wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her white forehead, "Of course I don't object, I'm glad you're willing to take them, and if you need anything, just tell me, and if anyone asks for trouble, I'll also talk to you. I say."
Jiang Rui pouted slightly: "I just can't get used to you all but meat every day, I just want to grow something delicious for myself."
Ur Khan raised the corners of his mouth, and the hard and cold lips outlined light and fine lines. He found that although his Yan family always disliked him, he never really rejected him.
That little arrogance and slight disdain, in his eyes, became irresistible, especially when the fair and small chin was raised, the beautiful red lips were gently curled, and the beautiful and proud look always made him want to He held her in the palm of his hand and held her above his head.
Speaking of which, the two were still newly married. Although Ur Khan looked unrestrained and never shy, even in front of others, he would pull Jiang Rui on the horse from time to time, but in this big tent, he was very concerned about matters between husband and wife. Accidentally respecting her opinion can be called a rule.
It must be a lie to say that he was in a place other than the bed and had no reverie about his family.
But he was always restrained. His family was of noble birth, from a country of etiquette. Unlike the cheerful and open woman on the grassland, Ur Khan unconsciously even had to breathe lightly when he was with her.
But there are times when restraint cannot be restrained, such as right now.
His Mrs. Yan sat next to her and read a book, because her arms were around her waist, it was almost like she was leaning against his arms. And she lowered her head slightly, only a slender and slender neck and delicate auricles were exposed in front of him.
Such a slender and beautiful neck, Ur Khan has only seen it on her, white and slender, fragile and charming.
Ur Khan never told her that when she raised her chin high and exposed her slender neck, he didn't feel offended at all, because his mind was full of thoughts, could he drop a few moments on that beautiful neck. a kiss
Now seems to be an opportune time. Although the stinky boys outside the tent are still chattering non-stop, the tent is very quiet. This quiet and private space belongs to only the two of them at the moment.
Thinking of this, Ur Khan's precarious restraint became even more urgent.
It's not his nature to dawdle and dawdle, even if it would make the Yan family unhappy, he decided to kiss him. Even if she gave him a look at him for a while, he would be happy.
As the deep breathing approached, Jiang Rui felt two hot lips pressed against the back of her neck, her hands paused, and she did not push the person away, but just turned the book again.
Her acquiescence stimulated the people around her, and the originally restrained kiss gradually increased in strength, with a faint stinging pain of gnawing.
Ur Khan smelled the neck that he was thinking about, his hands seemed to have self-consciousness, and he hugged Mrs. Ye to his lap.
He was a little excited, not only because of what was going to happen next, but also because he felt that if the Yan family did not reject him today, would he not reject some "little" requests in the future
The heat in the tent suddenly increased, and his breathing became sticky and heavy. He pressed Yan Shi tightly against himself, pressing his waist and abdomen together, letting her feel his excitement and agitation.
suddenly-
"Aruna, Hassan, go home for dinner!"
Aguda's loud voice suddenly exploded outside the tent, the ambiguity in the tent disappeared immediately, and Jiang Rui got up and sat aside.
Looking at the empty embrace, Ur Khan took a deep breath, and then again.
It's hot, and it's time to shave Aguda's beard and hair.
