Everyone was busy, and only the brother and sister had nothing to do. Wei Xiyin simply took Wei Lang around and taught him how to distinguish grains.
The so-called five grains refer to rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, and beans, also known as barley, wheat, rice, adzuki beans, and sesame.
In her previous life, the five grains had evolved into rice, wheat, sorghum, soybeans, and corn. People used to call grains other than rice and flour miscellaneous grains, so the five grains and miscellaneous grains also refer to grain crops in general.
Wei Xiyin pointed to the small pot beside Ning Shuang and said to Wei Lang, "This is millet, the same fine millet we often eat."
Only noble families can afford to eat this kind of fine-grained chestnuts that have been shelled and finely ground. Ordinary people usually just roughly shell them and cook them directly in the pot.
As food is in short supply now, husked rice and millet have become a luxury. Most people cook them with the husks on, which makes it easier to fill their stomachs and avoid going hungry.
Wei Lang nodded ignorantly, but his attention was not on studying at all. His eyes rolled around and he raised his head to look around from time to time.
Wei Xiyin was already used to this, and took him to where the guards were cooking, where some coarse grains and beans were being cooked.
When the guards saw the girl coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.
Wei Xiyin waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about us, just do your thing."
The guards' stronghold is at the outermost edge.
As soon as he came over, Wei Lang's attention was attracted by the cattle and horses under the tree. No matter what Wei Xiyin said afterwards, he only stared at the cattle and horses eating grass, and nodded from time to time in perfunctory response.
Not long after, Ningshuang prepared dinner. When Wei Lang heard that the meal was ready, he immediately came back to his senses and ran towards Ningshuang with joy and cheers.
Seeing this, Wei Xiyin had no choice but to give up.
When it came to teaching Wei Lang, even her parents and brothers were amazed at her patience. Her grandfather also praised her highly and praised her to everyone he met.
Wei Xiyin didn't really care about the compliments. She just wanted her brother to learn more and understand as much as possible.
After dinner, the sky gradually darkened and a bonfire was lit in the camp.
It was Wei Lang's first time sleeping in the wild and he felt very curious. Seeing the guards sleeping right next to the campfire, he wanted to follow their example and refused to sleep in the carriage no matter what.
\"Sister, I want to sleep here too." Wei Lang pleaded, pointing to an open space.
Wei Xiyin glanced around. They were surrounded by their people and the guards on duty. Seeing that he looked eager to try, she readily agreed.
Wei Lang immediately cheered and lay down.
Wei Xiyin was too lazy to care about him. Boys shouldn't be raised to be too pampered. She took Ningshuang back to the carriage, washed up simply, and fell into a deep sleep.
Who would have thought that something would happen in the camp in the middle of the night.
