Two thousand and two people set off, riding alone. They told the enemy that they were not here to fight, and that they needed at least three people to fight.
Thirty miles ahead, this was a line. There were scouts from two tribes looking for mushrooms on the ground out of boredom.
They knew which mushrooms were edible, so they picked them back and gave them to their leaders or secretly cooked for themselves.
The horses were eating grass leisurely, and some were lying on the ground to bask in the sun.
If they were itchy, they would move and rub themselves on the grass. It was so comfortable without war.
The sound of hooves came, and the ground shook.
The twenty scouts stopped what they were doing. When they saw the group running towards them from afar, they hurriedly found their horses and rode back.
When they were about to reach the place, the team split into two and went to find their leaders.
The Qianhu who escorted Zasykuzé was not in the tribe. His younger brother was in charge of the tribe, and his name was Zha Xi Ciren.
The Qianhu of the other tribe was in the tribe, and his name was Duowang Jiangcuo.
Nowadays, names did not have much meaning. It was good to have one.
Most people did not have one, including the people of the Tang dynasty. They only had surnames and no names. Women did not even remember their surnames. After they got married, they would follow their husband's surname.
The two teams of scouts ran back to their respective tribes, and the two tribes became nervous.
They thought that the Tang dynasty went back on their words and came to attack again.
In a panic, the two leaders took the initiative to lead their men and horses to meet them. If they wanted to fight, they would fight.
When they saw the cavalry of the Tang dynasty, they were a little relieved. They rode alone.
They estimated that half of the cavalry did not have bows on their backs, but they were carrying things tied with straw ropes in their hands. Obviously, they were not explosives.
Zhang Xiaosong and Fan Fan urged their horses forward and saluted together.
"I'm Zhang Xiaosong." "I'm Fan Fan."
Hearing the name Zhang Xiaosong, Duowang Jiangcuo and Zha Xi Ciren could not help but have goosebumps.
They had heard of him. He was too good at fighting. This time, he even ran behind them. Thanks to Zasykuzé who took the initiative to attack and then everyone ran, they did not chase after them.
He had never heard of anyone called Fan Fan, but this person was wearing the clothes of the Winged Knights. Half of the team were Winged Knights.
Presumably, they were not inferior to Zhang Xiaosong. At least, Zhang Xiaosong could not manage the private army of the Tang Emperors.
"Duowang Jiangtso", "Tashi Ciren"
The two of them signed up at the same time, so their names were known by the Military forces of the Tang Dynasty.
"I'm here to give you something. We can exchange it in the future. Pressure cookers won't do. One for each tribe. This is my gift to you. "
Fan Fan urged his horse forward as he spoke. He held a piece of braised meat in his hand. It had been cut into slices and was the size of a fist. It was a jin of raw meat.
The two of them waved their hands at the same time, and their cavalry pushed their horses back.
The three of them gathered together. Fan Fan opened the paper bag and said, "Have a taste. After you've tasted it, we'll go to the place between your two tribes to eat.
We brought about 500 jin of this meat, 10,000 jin of steamed barley, and pickled vegetables. Everyone should be able to have a meal. "
As he spoke, Fan Fan casually pinched a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.
Duowang Jiangtso reached out and took a piece each. They also put it into their mouths to taste.
"Is it okay?" Fan Fan asked while chewing.
"It's delicious." Tashi Ciren nodded. It was his first time eating braised meat with a lot of seasoning.
"It's delicious. Do you all eat this now?" Duowang Jiangtso thought of something else.
"There's not enough seasoning. Only a few people can eat it. But Dongzhu will send more seasoning later.
Two and a half servings of freshly slaughtered rock sheep can get one serving of meat. We have to process it, remove the fat, and make a fire.
If we trade with you, 20 servings of rock sheep with fat will be exchanged for one serving of this. But the taste will not be the same as it is now. The seasoning is too expensive. "
Fan Fan told the truth. He would give them as much as they should. If they were not willing to trade, then so be it.
Duowang Jiangtso reached out and pinched another piece of meat. He felt like eating more. It would be best if there was wine.
Tashi Ciren also reached out his hand. "Now?"
"For you. The first batch is for you. Everyone, try it. I'll give you the pressure cooker. I'll tell you how to cook it. If you don't want to trade, you can cook it yourself."
Fan Fan also pinched a piece to eat. It was indeed delicious.
"You can stay here tonight. You can choose an unmarried woman from our tribe."
Duowang Jiangtso expressed that he could not trade for the time being. He wanted to keep a child.
The Winged Knights of the Tang dynasty could sleep with an unmarried woman in their tribe. If they had a child, it would be very strong.
"Thank you, but no. Dongzhu doesn't allow it." Fan Fan refused.
"Please!" Duowang Jiangtso looked very regretful.
The team went to the middle of the two tribes and called all the people of the tribe over, regardless of age.
But the old people walked at the back while the young people walked at the front.
Two thousand people put the food on the ground. Tashi Ciren and Duowang Jiangtso understood that everyone had to eat something. So they tried to divide it equally.
After arranging for people to divide, the Winged Knights and the elite cavalry took out their own crepes to eat.
It was a very big crepe with thick highland barley flour.
Li Yi had never eaten crepes with highland barley flour. He had only eaten mung bean flour, corn flour, sorghum flour, rice flour, and normal wheat flour.
The mung bean crepes of the origin were made from the same raw material as the soy milk of Beijing, mung beans.
Soy milk was not soy milk. Soy milk needed mung beans to ferment, while soy milk was generally made from soybeans.
The difference was that soy milk could be made from tofu pudding, but soy milk could not.
But mung beans could be made into mung bean cakes. If you wanted to save money, you could add broad bean powder or pea powder.
The braised meat was cut into slices, and the highland barley steamed rice was served with utensils. At the same time, they grabbed pickles from the pickles jar.
The people of the two tribes divided the food. Not long after breakfast, there were two meals a day.
The breakfast was late, and the dinner was early. It also depended on the weather. When the day was long, there might be an extra meal, but it was rare. The family conditions did not allow it.
Just like in the Tang dynasty, when the sun rose in the morning, they started to work in the fields. The women worked at home and cooked after finishing their work.
They took the food to the fields and sent it to their husbands. There was no morning, so it was breakfast.
After breakfast, they took a break and worked together.
The Tubo tribe did the same. But now their quality of life had declined, so they did not dare to kill the sheep. They had to keep the sheep to give birth to cubs and milk, and make butter to exchange with the Tang dynasty.
"I brought two jars. The alcohol content is about 20%. One jar contains five catties. Let's drink and eat at the same time. I will teach you how to use this pressure cooker."
Fan Fan was still responsible for the main communication. Zhang Xiaosong did not want to talk too much.
The old people of the Tubo tribe took the initiative to give the meat to the children. They just wanted to have a taste.
Duowang Jiangcuo and Tashi Ciren drank and ate the meat. They watched Fan Fan make things with the pressure cooker, including the steamed highland barley rice.
The two ate the steamed highland barley rice. When they felt that it was delicious, their expressions were complicated.
"The Tang dynasty's team started to cook with this kind of cooker? Can they make it according to it? "
Tashi Ciren was very straightforward. He came up and asked if they could make the cooker.
"No, they can't. One is the seal. The thread is broken. If you use the method of turning the mold, the thread is not tight enough. The vent valve above is more difficult to explain."
Fan Fan chatted as if he was chatting with an old friend. He said everything, including the key points.
"Can we exchange?" Duowang Jiangcuo asked immediately.
"No, we don't have enough. We only have 2,000. Dongzhu is trying to ask people to make it." Fan Fan was still telling the truth.
I will tell you everything, but you can't get it and can't make it.
