ATBLM [QT] Chapter 178.1

The weather was getting colder day by day. The yellow color gradually replaced green on the grassland.

Since the beginning of autumn, the Di people have been hoarding grass to prepare for the winter. When the snow covered the grass blades, they would break the tents and spend the winter in a sheltered valley not far from here.

When spring began, they would return to the spring pastures, year after year, over and over again.

Urhan was busy, and so was Jiang Rui. She spent more time every day than before, inspecting the large vegetable field.

Children’s enthusiasm was limited, and cabbages and radishes were not as good-looking as those pumpkins and beans grown in the summer. Gradually, they were not as diligent as before.

Fortunately, the children’s parents made up for it. They knew better than the children what this vegetable field meant.

Every time Jiang Rui talked about when to pull the weeds, fertilize, and loosen the soil, they listened more seriously than the children in class.

Two months later, before the first snowflake fell, Jiang Rui signaled for the harvest.

At first, only the tribe people who participated in the planting were harvesting. After the other people in the tent area found out, they all participated spontaneously.

Later, except for those who went out to graze, almost the entire tribe went to the fields. In less than half a day, they harvested an entire tent of cabbage and radishes.

Although tired, everyone was excited.

Jiang Rui asked people to make statistics on-site for subsequent distribution.

The results hadn’t come out yet, and the crowd hadn’t dispersed. People kept walking back and forth, excitedly saying: “Did we grow so much food ourselves? I still feel like I’m dreaming!”

“If it weren’t for Yanshi, I think you would really be dreaming.”

“I’m quite curious, how should I eat this?”

“Should it also be boiled in water or roasted? In the summer, Gergen brought back a pumpkin. He said that Yanshi taught him to steam it in water. It is also delicious when it is cooked. It is sweet and soft.”

“It’s better to ask Yanshi later. She will definitely know.”

“I can’t wait any longer!”

It was not until the evening that the counting was completed. Jiang Rui planned the distribution.

The families that had participated in the planting from the beginning were allocated as much as a small cart. After obtaining their consent, she gave each other family in the tribe a small basket.

When the tribe people who had been watching the fun heard that they had a share, many waved their hands and said no, while others turned around and ran away. Jiang Rui asked others to bring it to them.

As soon as the division was finished, Aruna’s mother, Wu Lan, couldn’t wait to ask: “Yanshi, how do we eat these dishes?”

“I’ll let the chef cook outside the tent tonight. If you are interested, you can come and visit. He will teach you how to cook.”

So when it was dinner time, many tribe people once again gathered near the big tent. The chef from Jokhang tried his best to impress them and made several dishes such as cabbage and mutton slices, radish and mutton bone soup, beef stew with radish, vinegar cabbage, etc. The Di people were filled with admiration and envy.

Even carnivores like Urhan ate a lot of these dishes.

It got dark early. After eating and washing up, he hugged someone and settled on the bed early. No need to mention how comfortable he was.

“No wonder that old guy Risong came to me just now and said with a stinking face that we could send some people to learn planting from Yanshi next year. I think he must be greedy after seeing your harvest.”

Jiang Rui said: “Actually, as long as you master the rules, it is not difficult to grow these crops, and it will not delay the original affairs of the tribe.”

“I know,” Urhan kissed her forehead, “If Yanshi is willing, you can teach them again next year. If you feel tired, let them explore on their own. Anyway, they have been learning for a year. No matter how stupid they are, they should learn a little bit.”

“Then, have you learned it?” Jiang Rui squinted at him from the corner of her eyes.

Urhan pressed his forehead against hers, curled his lips, and said with a smile: “I haven’t learned yet. If my Yanshi is willing to teach me alone, I will learn it immediately.”

“You’re not afraid of blowing my top.” Jiang Rui poked the tip of his nose with her finger and squeezed his big head away.

Urhan persisted and leaned toward her again, holding her in his arms and being silent for a long time, and suddenly whispered: “Thank you…”

In his memory, there had never been a year when the people of the tribe had such relaxed smiles on their faces when winter was about to begin. They were not afraid of hunger, cold, or death, and they were full of expectations for the coming year.

Because they all knew that as long as they got through this winter, they would be fine. After spring, Yanshi promised to teach them to grow wheat, which was one of the staple foods of the Jokhang people. With a richer food source, survival would become easier.

And by then, they would be able to conduct fair transactions with Jokhang, and no longer have to worry about malicious price increases, or worry about not being able to exchange for salt and tea. Maybe they could also make beautiful satin clothes for their wives and daughters at home.

What an exciting scene it was.

Without the person in his arms, these things would be almost impossible to achieve. Just like a year ago, Urhan did not have the ambition he had now.

But now, he wanted to stand in the highest position and bring her the glory and dignity she deserved so that she would not regret meeting him.
