Watching Qiao Lian'er's actions, the two siblings also imitated her, peeling the oily duck eggs and putting them into the porridge, then tearing open the packaging of the pickled vegetables and pouring them into the porridge.
Stir it up, and after taking a bite, the eyes of the two siblings lit up.
There is such a wonderful thing in this world, as if it is naturally symbiotic with rice porridge. One is salty and the other is bland, and they blend together perfectly. It can be called a rare delicacy.
“Water Maiden, where did you buy these things? Are they available in your Central Plains?” Danso asked.
"Yes, it was brought from the Middle-earth. I still have some here; I'll leave some for you."
Xida: "That's great! I've heard that the Middle Kingdom has everything, and the people there have no worries. They live happily, with plenty of food and clothing. They live a peaceful and prosperous life."
“It’s called living in peace and contentment,” Dansuo corrected her.
"Yes, I've learned something new about living and working in peace and contentment."
"Can you get used to the food?" Qiao Lian'er turned her head and asked Pei Shijiu.
This is just ordinary rice porridge, of course it can't compare to the delicacies we eat every day.
She was born into a life of hardship, unlike Pei Shijiu who had lived a life of luxury since birth.
Pei Shijiu ate heartily, saying, "I'm tired of all the food in the manor. You know what, this porridge really tastes different and delicious."
After they finished eating and washed the dishes, Dan Suo immediately made arrangements: "Miss Shui, Young Master Bai, you will sleep inside tonight, while my sister and I will sleep outside. There will be a curtain separating us, so please don't feel embarrassed."
Qiao Lian'er looked outside. The courtyard was surrounded by a simple bamboo fence, which defined an area. There was a tattered mat at the entrance of the courtyard, and a pile of thatch next to the wall. It seemed that this was the bed outside.
She gently shook her head: "We're here to help a caravan. They've arranged accommodations up there, so we won't bother you."
But after thinking about it, Suo realized that the accommodations upstairs were far better than here, and said, "Then I won't take you. If someone who's never slept on these kind of bed boards has never slept on them before, their body will ache after one night. By the way, your caravan has left, so what are you going to do next?"
“We have our own business, so we’ll go pick out some goods and take a stroll around. After all, we’ve come all this way, so it’s good to know more about this place so that our trip won’t be in vain,” Qiao Lian’er said.
But So looked at them very seriously: "Then, do you still need a translator? Don't worry, you've already paid enough for today, and you won't have to pay for anything else."
For him, working with people his own age was much easier than translating for those menacing-looking individuals.
Qiao Lian'er smiled and said, "Okay, see you in the warehouse area tomorrow."
She still needs Dansso. Yesterday she reserved a few good stones for herself, some belonging to warlords and some to wealthy merchants. She needs to move them around in various warehouse districts, and at this time, a translator is very important.
When Qiao Lian'er left, she left behind a bag of salted duck eggs, a bag of pickled vegetables, and several packets of beef jerky.
Xida's eyes widened in astonishment as she watched her pull things out of her sleeves.
The people of the Central Plains wore loose-fitting clothes with wide sleeves, originally to make it easier to hide things.
Qiao Lian'er took out some beef jerky and gave it to the two siblings to chew. As they chewed, Xida burst into tears.
She said, "This is meat."
Qiao Lian'er was somewhat surprised: "Xida has never eaten meat before?"
"I have eaten it. A few years ago, a bird fell from a tree and injured its wing. My brother roasted it for me. The meat was so delicious. I still remember that taste."
