After saying that, she spread out the Xuan paper and carefully ground the ink.
Ling Ba… What is Xiao Yan saying? He doesn’t quite understand.
Vera looked up at Qiu Yan, her eyes full of smiles.
He took the brush from Qiu Yan and began to write in a very professional manner.
He won't give himself a chance to be beaten.
Qiu Yan looked intently at his clumsy and unorthodox pen-holding posture, then glanced at the Chinese characters he wrote, and burst out laughing.
The original square characters were written crookedly by him.
Qiu Yan looked on incredulously as Vera wrote the last word.
Yesterday, she taught him ten Chinese characters, and he actually...
They all recited from memory.
You should know that he was from India.
After a moment of stunned silence, Qiu Yan composed herself and then wrote ten more commonly used Chinese characters as the new content for today.
Vera looked at Qiu Yan, still smiling gently.
Qiu Yan read it once, and Vera followed suit. Ling Ba, who was standing to the side, stared blankly.
Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! Xiaoyan actually took a mage as her student?
Xiaoyan always brings him many surprises.
Qiu Yan continued teaching, and Vera continued learning.
A quarter of an hour later, not only Ling Ba, but also the innkeeper and waiters were drawn to the scene, and they couldn't help but be curious and follow to take a look.
It wasn't until half an hour later, when Vera's companions came downstairs for lunch, that Qiu Yan finally finished her morning lesson.
She left the table for Vera and Ling Ba, ordered food for them, and then went upstairs to wake Qin Susu up for breakfast.
This morning, Qin Susu was forcibly lifted up by her.
I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have a chance to properly experience the local customs and culture of this foreign land.
For breakfast, she and Qin Susu went to a barbecue stall.
The bearded man grilling the meat skewers didn't speak Chinese, and Qiu Yan only learned the price when she saw someone else paying.
Two coins... Qiu Yan habitually referred to their self-minted coins as "wen".
In her opinion, a skewer of mutton costing two coins was quite cheap.
The lamb skewers had a subtle cumin flavor, which was delicious, and most importantly, they were affordable.
Qiu Yan decided that when she returned, she would buy more cumin and other seeds from this place.
She thought that only Vera and her group had it.
There's pepper here, but no chili peppers.
Qin Susu ate fifteen skewers in one go, plus a naan bread, until she could barely walk.
Qiu Yan had no further comment on this matter.
After finishing her barbecue skewers, she felt thirsty and saw a milk tea stall ahead. She asked Qin Susu for directions.
"Want some milk tea?"
Qin Susu shrugged.
"I can't drink anymore."
She really wanted to try it.
Qiu Yan ordered two servings of milk tea from the auntie selling milk tea. Based on the prices paid by others, she paid the auntie four coins and asked her to put the milk tea into their water bags.
The aunt took the money, staring at Qiu Yan and smiling.
Perhaps it's because they haven't seen many women from the Central Plains showing their faces in public, so it's a novelty for them.
Qiu Yan took a bite; it was salty, and the taste was not bad.
As they walked, Ling Ba joined the two.
Qiu Yan asked him, "Would you like some milk tea?"
Ling Ba shook his head; he couldn't stand the taste of milk tea at all.
The three of them strolled along the street and began to browse the market.
Compared to Dongjin, the things sold here are quite peculiar.
Besides naan, kebabs, and grilled fish...
Finally, I spotted a grain and oil shop that looked like Baiyang's.
Qiu Yan went inside, bought some flour and peanut oil, and loaded them onto her horse.
