Chapter 338 Yin Duo's Conditions
"Granny, I really can't stand the milk tea here, and I can't accept eating roast meat so early in the morning. Tell them not to put these out tomorrow morning. Looking at them, I feel like even the things I love to eat aren't so appealing anymore," Daiyu complained, pouting.
These grassland-specific foods are delivered to the grassland area early in the morning, and each yurt has them.
Perhaps because they knew that Princess Lin and the main person in charge of this event were inside the yurt, the food prepared for the yurt was, in Yuan Hongqu's own opinion, too characteristic of the grasslands—high in calories, protein, and carbohydrates. Although it tasted very good, Yuan Hongqu felt that she couldn't handle it.
The next morning, Daiyu frowned as she looked at the grassland food that took up half the space, and then at the breakfast prepared by her own family. She felt that even her own meals were not as appetizing as usual.
“Send these to our guards,” Yuan Hongqu said. “They’re very active every day, so these things are nothing to them.”
The maids and servants who followed them would not normally eat such a coarse diet. The Lin family valued health and would never eat such greasy food so early in the morning.
Chen Yinduo's eyes sparkled. She felt that she had finally found someone like herself, just like she had always felt!
The women removed all the grassland food. The guards' daily meals were simpler. Although they also had such extravagant roasted lamb chops and hand-pulled lamb, each person only got one piece and that was it.
Looking at other people's homes, they followed suit and mostly sent these things to the guards to eat. Obviously, given their eating habits, it would be difficult for them to accept eating such greasy food first thing in the morning.
Inside the yurt, Daiyu had a bowl of green rice porridge. The porridge was a beautiful green color, and on top of it were plump lotus seeds, like a lotus pod.
Then I ate a cherry blossom assorted shumai. The pink shumai was shaped like a flower, small and cute.
In the past two years, Yuan Hongqu has rarely made animal-shaped desserts and has gradually begun to try various flower-shaped dishes.
She needs to balance nutritional balance with elegant and beautiful styling.
Simply because the child she raised was Lin Daiyu.
To be able to write lines like "Flowers fall, flowers fly, flowers fill the sky," Yuan Hongqu truly wished that even the meals Daiyu usually ate would exude a literary air!
Fortunately, Daiyu hasn't been a picky eater in recent years. She usually eats more of the food that Yuan Hongqu makes herself.
Seeing that Daiyu liked these foods, Yuan Hongqu went to great lengths to research and create new desserts.
Although she is the headmistress of a girls' academy, she spends half of the year researching food. It's only thanks to her space, a time cheat device, that she has time; otherwise, she really wouldn't have enough time.
“Granny, these shumai are delicious and beautiful. Since we’re not hosting a banquet for the locals on the last day, why don’t we add this dessert to the menu?” Daiyu suggested.
“Sure, the menu has already been prepared, but if you have any other suggestions, we can change it at any time.” Yuan Hongqu always took Daiyu’s suggestions very seriously.
"Dean, why are we still entertaining the grassland people?" Yin Duo felt it was a waste to give those people such delicious food.
How can someone who eats roast meat and cheese every day appreciate the subtlety of such delicate and refined desserts?
Just like how they used to laugh at Yinduo, saying she was a woman who could only eat grass, no different from a sheep on the grassland.
"It's only right to reciprocate." Yuan Hongqu only explained one sentence; Yin Duo wouldn't understand if she said too much.
Yinduo only knows simple Chinese characters, which was taught to her by her mother when she was alive. No one has taught her to read since.
Fortunately, she had lived with her mother since childhood and spoke Mandarin.
As for the language of the grasslands, it's because of the language environment she grew up in; she naturally picked it up from a young age.
Yuan Hongqu planned to have Yin Duo formally begin her education after returning to the capital. With Yin Duo's intelligence, she should be able to enter the intermediate class in a few months.
Yin Duo didn't quite understand, but that didn't affect her conviction. In just one night, she had already decided that whatever the Dean and Lin Daiyu said or did, they were never wrong. Even if they were wrong, it was because others had misunderstood.
As soon as she got up today, a kind aunt came over, combed her hair, and changed her into new clothes.
As for the disguise on her face, because she had been applying all sorts of random grass juices to her face for years, her face looked patchy with black and yellow marks, and it was difficult to wash off even after washing.
Her aunt said the hospital director had a way to help her clean herself, but she was scared.
She was afraid of revealing her true colors on the grassland, even though her aunt told her not to be afraid, and that the person the director wanted to protect would definitely be protected.
However, if she feels unsafe, she can wait until she is willing to wash it off before cleaning it.
Yinduo had never styled her hair so beautifully, nor had she ever worn such pretty clothes.
So when she appeared in front of Wuzhu like this, Wuzhu was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that dirty face, he found her much more pleasing to the eye.
Hmph, no matter how nicely a pheasant dresses, it can never become a phoenix!
Wu Zhu wanted to see Yin Duo when no one was around in the morning, firstly so as not to embarrass herself too much; secondly, since Yin Duo was all alone, how could she possibly make any excessive demands on her!
Unexpectedly, Yin Duo had no demands. She only asked that Wu Zhu take her to the place where her mother, Chen Shi, was buried, so that she could take her mother's remains with her.
The dean told Yinduo last night that Wuzhu would come to beg her today, and she could order Wuzhu around at will, so Wuzhu dared not refuse.
Yin Duo never imagined that she could command Wu Zhu to do things for her in this life. That night, she even seriously considered what conditions she should ask if Wu Zhu really came.
She thought for a long time and finally remembered that what her mother had said to her most often before she died was that she wanted to go back to her hometown. As for where her mother's hometown was, Yin Duo didn't know.
However, since her mother is Han Chinese, she must live in a Han Chinese area.
Since my mother didn't fulfill her wish before she died, I'll take her back now.
She was young when her mother passed away and didn't know where her mother was buried.
But just because she didn't know doesn't mean others didn't know.
So Yinduo made this condition.
Wu Zhu had no idea where Chen was buried, but Yin Duo only had this one condition, and she couldn't refuse, otherwise the director from the capital wouldn't let her off the hook.
Grassland people have always advocated sky burial, but Chen was not a grassland person, so she should have been buried in the ground.
However, their tribe moves to a new place every few years to allow the original place to recuperate. Now, finding a burial place for someone who died more than ten years ago is not an easy task.
