The moon in the sky and the light on the ground complemented each other. Half an hour passed, and when Lin Wanwan had almost boiled the water in the pot, the scent of tea had filled half of the camp.
In the yurt behind him, Ba Yefeng was still watching his sister sleep.
Children of this age can already sleep alone in other yurts in the tribe, but not Baya Naba.
Because she knew that as long as she opened her mouth and howled, even if there were no tears, her brother would appear at the bedside to accompany her.
Even though the child is young, he is already very accurate in judging other people's standards. He tests his brother's bottom line anytime and anywhere, and then adjusts his behavior.
Lin Wanwan really found this pair of siblings very interesting. Naba obviously understood Mandarin, but she didn't say a word to Lin Wanwan. Ba Yefeng obviously couldn't wait to take advantage of her, but he still acted calmly.
One is only five or six years old, and the other is only fourteen or fifteen years old!
Ancient people were really very precocious, but modern children of this age are still confused.
When Lin Wanwan raised her head from her thoughts, there were already many people gathered in front of her tea egg pot, attracted by the scent of tea.
"Are you the woman that Ba Yefeng snatched back? What is boiling in this pot?" A man with green eyes stared at the tea leaves and eggs in the pot and asked knowingly.
Although Lin Wanwan couldn't understand what this foreigner was talking about, she could also understand what he meant from his body language.
She believed that if it weren't for Ba Yefeng's notorious reputation, the group of people in front of her would have come up to rob him.
In the tribe, everyone said that someone who is timid is also a coward, and someone who is said to be reckless is also reckless.
There is no royal law, no ethics, only the law of the jungle.
Lin Wanwan looked at the people gathered around her, her eyes slightly curved, and there was a harmless light in the depths of her eyes: "This is called tea eggs. It is a new way of eating in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to tea and eggs, we originally had to add
Cinnamon bark, cumin powder, aniseed, etc. are then simmered.
But unfortunately, I didn’t bring so much ingredients, so I had to settle for the next best thing and just put sugar and salt in it.”
Lin Wanwan slowly introduced the making of tea eggs to everyone, with a calm look on her face, not feeling embarrassed at all by the gathering crowd.
Everyone is just talking like a duck. There is basically no one in the tribe who can understand the Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty.
But Lin Wanwan knew that there must be some people in the crowd. Because the caravan was not far away, it was impossible not to smell it.
The leader's camp at the center of this tribe is not far away, so it's impossible not to be attracted to it.
Tea is hard currency on the grasslands. For people who eat a lot of meat, the most difficult thing to resist is tea that can relieve tiredness.
After chatting with each other for a while, Lin Wanwan heard a soft sound coming from the yurt behind her. It was Ba Yefeng who had coaxed her sister to sleep and came out.
Children of Naba's age, if they feel safe enough, will not wake up even if they are thundered, let alone the noise outside the yurt.
Now that someone who can communicate has come out, Lin Wanwan has stopped talking. Anyway, no matter how much she talks, there are not many people here who can understand.
After Ba Yefeng said a few words, Lin Wanwan saw the young man with green eyes and saliva who stood in front of her at first, showing a proud smile.
Ba Yefeng leaned over and began to fish tea leaves and eggs from the pot.
Lin Wanwan stepped forward to help and asked with a smile: "Are you going to dedicate it to your leader?"
Ba Yefeng's expression did not change: "This is Adili's scoundrel. I once broke a piece of his sternum, but there is no need to conflict with him today."
He stood up, leaving only one tea egg, and gave the rest to the people in front of him.
"Wait a minute." Lin Wanwan called out, "The last ingredients haven't been added yet."
Ba Yefeng immediately grabbed the person who was about to leave, and a trace of imperceptible timidity suddenly appeared in the other person's fierce eyes.
In terms of force, he cannot beat Ba Yefeng. He relies on the power of a fox and a tiger. But whether he can successfully threaten Ba Yefeng actually depends on luck. Sometimes this guy is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.
, would rather be beaten to death than surrender.
But now that there were so many people around, he believed that if a fight broke out, everyone would help break it up.
Of course Ba Yefeng didn't want to fight with him, and Lin Wanwan didn't want the conflict to escalate. She quickly took out a small bottle of soy sauce from her bag (it's the small glass soy sauce bottle that can be covered on the table in modern hotels), and then
Pour some on the tea eggs.
The aroma of soy sauce spread immediately, and there were some knowledgeable people in the crowd, their eyes fixed on the soy sauce bottle.
Soy sauce is also available in the Tang Dynasty, but it is not called soy sauce, it is called tempeh. Not many people in the Western Regions know how to eat tempeh, because it is not cheap, and although it is not a luxury item, everyone is generally reluctant to eat it.
But what made everyone's eyes want to stick to it now was not Lin Wanwan's careless action of pouring the soy sauce, but the small glass bottle that contained it.
Under the moonlight and torch light, this exquisite glass bottle exudes a charming light full of money.
Lin Wanwan poured at least half of the soy sauce into the basin filled with tea eggs, and then said: "Okay, the ingredients are added. Tea eggs without black beans have no soul. Now they are finally complete. They are mature.
Tea eggs are gone.”
As Lin Wanwan finished speaking, Ba Yefeng let go of the bitch holding the egg bowl.
Among the crowd, someone quietly retreated.
Lin Wanwan, who had been staring intently at the crowd of onlookers, had actually noticed him for a long time. In an era where clothing was clearly differentiated, it was difficult for outsiders to sneak into the poor people who were covered in rags. No matter how hidden he was, he was actually the same person.
As conspicuous as a bright light.
The person who walked away was from the caravan.
Some people leave, and some refuse to leave. Although the essence of the tea eggs has been taken away, the remaining juice with a strong tea aroma is still very attractive.
In full view of everyone, Lin Wanwan poured a little soy sauce into the pot, then Shi Shiran fished out the last tea egg, peeled it off as if no one else was watching, but did not peel it completely, leaving some room for holding. Then she put the egg
Cut it into two and handed one to Ba Yefeng.
Ba Yefeng stared at the tea egg held by Lin Wanwan's fingertips, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he took it and stuffed it into his mouth with the remaining shell and half of the egg.
Lin Wanwan sighed and shook her head: "I say, handsome boys should also have handsome movements. How can they eat eggshells?"
She slowly lifted up the silk scarf covering her face, revealing her delicate chin and bright red lips. She ate the remaining half of the tea egg in small bites and threw the eggshells on her fingertips into the bowl.
While they were eating eggs, the crowd of onlookers stared in silence, with yearning in their eyes and greedy expressions on their faces.
"Okay, the eggs are gone, you can go pour this pot of juice." Lin Wanwan slowly took out a brocade handkerchief, wiped her fingers carefully, and instructed Ba Yefeng to work.
