ATBLM [QT] Chapter 167.1

On the third day, the bean sprouts finally grew to the length of a finger.

With Jiang Rui’s instructions, Qiuhua immediately ordered the palace servants who knew how to cook a mix of spicy and sour mung bean sprouts and made it exclusively for the Princess. The rest was made into a clear mung bean sprout soup, and everyone had a share.

In the morning, there were two more dishes on the dinner table. After Urhan sliced the meat for Jiang Rui, he stared at the two dishes for a while. They looked white and looked more and more like grassroots.

When he saw Yanshi eating a few grassroots and taking a sip of the grassroots soup that was as clear as water, he couldn’t help but ask, “What is this?”

“Mung bean sprouts.” Jiang Rui picked up a chopstick of spicy and sour bean sprouts, rolled it into the meat slices, and put it on his plate, “I asked someone to make it with mung beans.”

Urhan looked at it with great interest for a while, then stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, and chewed it twice before he was convinced that it was not a grass root. It was not rough and difficult to swallow. Instead, it was very fresh and tender, and it could be broken with one bite. But–

His expression suddenly became a little strange. He chewed and swallowed it wholeheartedly as if he was enduring something.

Jiang Rui looked at him suspiciously for a while, then suddenly said: “Are you not good at spicy food?”

Urhan groaned, took a few bites of the meat, and swallowed it to dilute the spicy taste in his mouth, then he frowned and said, “Weird taste.”

After taking only one bite, a little sweat broke out on his forehead. Jiang Rui was speechless.

The seasoning for this plate of spicy and sour bean sprouts was brought from Jokhang. There was not much pepper added as tribute from foreign countries. In her opinion, it was only slightly spicy, but it was too exaggerated when he ate it.

Could it be that he has a particularly sensitive sense of taste?

“You try this again.” She gave him another half bowl of bean sprout soup.

Having learned the lesson from the previous time, Urhan couldn’t help but be more cautious. He picked it up and took a sniff, only to smell a grassy smell. After taking a small sip, the fishy smell was stronger, but at least, it was more tolerable than the weird taste just now.

This was the first time that Yanshi had served the dishes for him, so he held his breath and drank it all.

Jiang Rui saw it in her eyes and knew the huge gap between the two people’s diets.

“Do all people in Jokhang eat this?” Urhan asked, putting down his bowl.

“This is just a side dish, not a regular meal. In fact, unlike the Di people, the Jokhang people have a very wide range of diets. We eat almost everything we can eat. Besides the staple food, we will not eat a single food for a long time.”

Urhan thought thoughtfully and nodded slowly. Seeing Yanshi continue to eat, he remembered his performance just now and was afraid that she would misunderstand that he disliked bean sprouts, so he said: “It actually tastes good.”

Jiang Rui glanced at him and said unceremoniously: “Your expression doesn’t say that. The way you looked just now, it was as if what I fed you was poison.”

Urhan curled his lips: “Although it tasted really weird at first, looking back now, I think it’s pretty good. It looks like grassroots, but it is much more delicious than grassroots.”

“Have you ever eaten grassroots?” Jiang Rui asked casually.

“I have eaten it.” Urhan nodded, squinting his eyes slightly as he recalled, “I also dug out grass seeds and ate them. The hungriest time was when I ate a bone that had been buried for more than two months.”

Jiang Rui paused, “Why? Is there a famine?”
