Because the bean sprouts had a beany smell, Urhan didn’t like it very much. Jiang Rui didn’t let him taste it anymore, but she also wanted other people from the Di tribe to try it.
She didn’t let Urhan try eating bean sprouts out of curiosity, nor did she mention the dietary structure of the Jokhang people in front of him for no reason.
She always remembered Princess Chaoyang’s last wish, hoping that the two countries could have good relations and the border could be peaceful.
But this kind of thing couldn’t be solved once and for all through a married princess. A temporary show of goodwill could only lead to short-term peace.
However, once some natural or man-made disaster occurs to these nomads and there is a shortage of food, the predatory side of their nature will rear its head, and their survival instinct will drive them to attack other countries.
Even if she could convince Urhan to give up the idea of attacking Jokhang, he still had so many tribesmen. Maybe they would obey him in a day or two, but the long period of hunger and patience would sooner or later make them abandon this king who did not put the safety of his people first.
So, Jiang Rui needed to change their mind and not just rely on Urhan to intimidate the tribe.
She was making a little attempt now. In the world she went to before, such things had happened in history.
At present, it seems that these tribes on the grassland are completely nomadic people. She wanted to see if it was possible to slowly transform them into a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural life state.
Although the climate in Beidi was relatively cold, it was not without cold-resistant crops, and the land was quite fertile.
She believed that as long as they took care of it carefully, they would definitely get a harvest.
As long as food sources were widespread and varieties increased, the possibility of survival would definitely increase.
No one does not want to live. If they can get enough survival resources without risking their life, she is afraid that except for war madmen, few people are willing to have war.
She did this not only to fulfill Princess Chaoyang’s wish, but also for herself and Urhan. If there was a war between Beidi and Jokhang, it would be difficult for the two of them to continue to live in harmony.
Of course, this was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time, and what needed to be done could not be solved by sending out one or two barrels of bean sprouts.
But, Jiang Rui was not in a hurry. She had sufficient patience. The bean sprouts were just an opportunity.
Because they lived in tents, some Di people cooked in the open air outside the tents.
Before dinner, Jiang Rui specifically ordered someone to move tonight’s stove outside the tent and move out the bucket of extra bean sprouts.
The movement near the royal’s tent always easily attracted attention. This was the first time that Yanshi had been in the Di tribe for so long, and the Jokhang people who were serving her were cooking outside.
The adults were fine. Although they were curious, they could still restrain themselves from taking a few glances from a distance. However, the lively and active children quickly gathered around one by one.
“What is this?”
“Jokhang’s pot is different from ours.”
“What’s in those little jars?”
“Do Yanshi and the Great Khan eat the same food as us?”
A dozen little human cubs formed an arc, chirping and whispering to each other, just like a group of curious birds.
Finally, Hassen couldn’t help it anymore, pointed at the barrel, and asked Qiuhua, “What’s in this round barrel?”
During this time, people from the Jokhang were working hard to learn the Di language. Although they were not as fast as Jiang Rui learning time before, they could barely cope with daily conversations.
Qiuhua stroked away the grass leaves covering the bucket and said with a smile: “It’s bean sprouts, made of mung beans.”
The grass blades were completely opened, revealing the tender yellow bean sprouts inside.
“Wow, the grass grows so neatly!” Hassen exclaimed.
“Let me see!”
“I want to see too!”
All the other children crowded over, scratching at the edge of the barrel with curiosity.
“What kind of grass is bean sprouts? It’s different from what we’ve seen before.”
“Why grow grass?”
“Why don’t they have green leaves?”
Questions were thrown from those immature heads one by one, and Qiu Hua answered patiently.
So, these children quickly learned that bean sprouts were different from the grasses that could be seen everywhere on the grassland. They were made from green beans and could be eaten.
After Qiuhua said that everyone present today could eat bean sprouts, the children looked at each other, with obvious hesitation on their faces.
Because in their opinion, even if bean sprouts were not green, they were still grass after all. They were not lambs, so why should they eat grass?
But they were too embarrassed to say the refusal words, so they waited tremblingly for a while to eat the grass.
Seeing the child’s doubts, the person in charge of the cooking suffocated in his heart and used his special skills to make beef slices with bean sprouts, hot and sour mung bean sprouts, lamb bone bean sprout soup…
The aroma that was different from barbecue gradually spread, and the uneasiness on the children’s faces disappeared. They stretched their necks and eagerly waited to eat. The adults nearby also cast more curious eyes.
Jiang Rui did not go out of the big tent.
What they displayed today were items from Jokhang. It was inevitable that some older Di people would be repulsed. If she were present at this time, it would be too deliberate and more likely to alert people.
Anyway, Qiuhua had been told what to do before and she believed that she could do it well.
Urhan opened the curtain and walked in, raising his eyebrows slightly, “What is going on outside?”
