In fact, Luo Yong's body has improved a lot in the past two years. At least when he was in Chang'an City, there were quite a few people who were weaker than him. But after coming to the Hexi Corridor, the overall environment around him became very different.

For the men in these tribes, the young men in Chang'an City are simply a group of weaklings.

Although in Luo Yong's opinion, most of the young men trained under the elite education model are actually not too weak. At least they can ride horses, which is many times stronger than those otakus in later generations.

Luo Yong realized that he was many times better than those otaku in later generations now.

But people can die, and goods can be thrown away.

"It's cold in winter, why don't Saburo stay here for a few more days?"

On this day, when Luo was ready to go, a Han son-in-law of the leader of the tribe came out and his father-in-law came out to persuade him to stay.

"I dare not delay the date of taking office." Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin worked together to carry a sack of luggage onto five pairs of backs.

The snow was too thick on this section of the road. It was very difficult to walk on the snow. The five pairs and the other donkey were a little overwhelmed. After the trip, I had to abandon the car and walk. As for my luggage, I let the two donkeys carry them.

Walking in this windy and snowy day is a very difficult thing for them, not to mention the people of Central Plains in front of them.

The leader of this tribe was also very generous. Seeing that he could not keep him, he asked someone to take out a horse from his horse's circle and give it to Luo Yong. Luo Yong was very happy, but he did not take the other party in vain. He flipped through his luggage and took out a pack of tea and gave it to him.

In this era, tea is still relatively rare and rare. Although the people of the Central Plains pay attention to the method of making tea, they add a lot of things in their tea. Some people will add some crushed tea, while some people don’t even add tea.

In the western region at this time, people did not have the habit of drinking tea.

In this era, the climate is relatively humid. In the Hexi Corridor area, in addition to pastoral areas, you can occasionally see some farming areas. In addition, on hillsides and grasslands, you can also collect some wild fruits and vegetables. People grazed, collected, and cultivated them, and exchanged them for the items they needed from the market. Life is like this year after year. Apart from not being rich enough, there seems to be nothing deficiencies.

"This is tea. You can use snow water to make soup to drink, or you can add some other things to cook. Eating it will make people more energetic and healthier." Luo Yong said to the Han son-in-law and his father-in-law.

This Han son-in-law was not from a noble family, so he didn't understand the tea ceremony. He had heard some merchants mention it before and knew it was a precious thing. So he translated what he knew and what Luo Yong said to them to his leader and father-in-law.

The leader's father-in-law heard that this pack of tea was such a noble existence, and was very satisfied with Luo Yong's return gift.

Their tribe has had a good income in the past two years. As the leader, his life is naturally getting richer day by day. Now he has no shortage of food and clothing. Next, he naturally needs to improve his quality of life.

For Luo Yong and the others, there is no need to think about quality of life during the past few months of travel. It would be good to be able to walk to Guazhou alive.

Most of the horses brought from the leader of that tribe were riding by Luo Yong, because in their five people, except Luo Yong, both Qiao Junlin and Apu and others, had very good physical fitness.

Five pairs of them were carrying their luggage on the snow-covered road, and they were so tired that they were humming. They looked up and looked up at the road ahead. The world was vast, and the road was so long that it seemed that they would never end...

"It's been half a day since I left, stop and rest for a while." Luo Yong looked at the two donkeys as if they were so tired that the horse sitting beneath him was so tired that he gasped, so he spoke to Qiao Junlin in front of him.

But as soon as he said this, he found that he was so cold that he was even trembling with his voice, and he felt embarrassed for a moment.

"Yeah." Qiao Junlin didn't think much about it, looked left and right, and found a leeward place not far from the roadside, and led a few people there to rest.

Although they did not intend to stay here for a long time, Qiao Junlin and the others still took off the things on the backs of the two donkeys without any trouble. There was still a long way to go before, and they could not lose money now. If one animal was missing, the journey would become more difficult in the future.

Fortunately, although this place is barren, it is not the kind of place where no grass grows. After searching around, you can still collect some dry branches and take some time to light the fire. Several people squeezed together by the fire to roast the fire, and then drink a few sips of hot water to ease it.

Qiao Junlin took out a few sesame cakes from their luggage pile, put them on the fire and roasted them, and then roasted a few slices of lamb leg meat brought from the tribe in front, and then applied some sauce on it, and put it in the sesame cakes. The first one was given to Luo Yong first.

Luo Yong is not polite. Among the people in this group, he is the worst physical fitness. Trying to adjust his physical condition and try not to cause trouble to others is the only thing he can do at the moment. You don’t have to think about taking care of others or something.

Just as Luo Yong and others were gnawing dry food around the fire in the snow, the tribe behind them was staying peacefully in the warm wool felt tent, wearing softer and more comfortable clothes than in previous years, and were piled with more abundant food than in previous years.

Their leader was studying how to eat a pack of tea in his tent. His half-baked son-in-law obviously could not give him any good advice, so the leader decided to explore how to eat tea by himself.

Although Nara Saburo also told him that he could boil it directly in snow water, he thought that eating it was too wasteful. Such precious tea should naturally be cooked with the best ingredients.

What, do you say that the pure natural and pollution-free snow water in the seventh century AD is precious?

The leader obviously didn't think so. He cooked it with tea with all kinds of good ingredients he could get, and he was willing to put one or two pieces of tea every time.

According to his cooking method, he naturally did not taste any tea after cooking. Until one day, he cooked several pieces of tea with goat milk. Perhaps the previous failure made him a little frustrated, so he put several times more tea leaves this time than usual - about seven or eight pieces.

"Oh my God! Do you smell the fragrance of the tea leaves?" Before the pot of milk tea was ready, the fragrance that floated out was already very excited.

"So this tea is so eaten!" His family members in the tent also felt very novel.

After the pot of milk tea was cooked, the leader personally distributed it to everyone, first divided the goat's milk, poured half a bowl of goat's milk into each pottery bowl, and then divided the tea leaves, each person's sliced. In the end, there was not enough, and the youngest children in the family could not be divided.

After the milk tea was divided, the family gathered together to drink it. First, drink the goat's milk one by one, then pick up the tea leaves and put them in their mouths, chew them bit by bit, and swallow them...

No matter what, at least they know how to use tea leaves to cook milk tea, although the way to eat this milk tea is a bit weird.

Compared with the new food recently developed by the Central Plains people, this weirdness is actually nothing.

Last time, Luo used the "Cipoise Manual" they published and sold, and the sales volume in Chang'an City was very popular, and many people bought it and shipped it to other places.

In that book "Cipo Chili Edible Manual", there is an article about using chili peppers to make sauce. As a result, many people didn't understand it after buying it. They couldn't read it, and they couldn't help it. After studying the picture, they finally developed chili wine. The only thing that the picture of making sauce and making wine looks so similar.

"Chijiu! Chilijiu! The most popular chilijiu in Chang'an City this year! Take a sip and your whole body is warm!"

In the middle of winter, hawkers sell chili wine in the streets and alleys. Not to mention, there are quite a few people who buy it. I heard that it has been popular in Chang'an City. No matter whether it tastes good or not, there are many people who follow the trend.

Fortunately, the wines these days are made of wine koji, not the kind of high-value liquors in later generations. At this time, most of the wines were mild and not very alcohol-containing. Even if you soak the peppers, nothing big happens...

"A Wu, look at how much money I can earn today?"

Chili wine is easy to sell, and the vendors who sell wine can make money. After returning home, they were so happy. They counted the copper coins they earned today in the house with his wife. A few children ran around, and the whole family was like a holiday.

"Thanks to this booklet brought by your brother and us."

"I heard that it was sold out in Chang'an City."

"It is said that these chili are easy to buy, but the booklet is hard to buy."

"My brother, he went there several times in a row before finally buying these two books."

The elder brother of this woman named A Wu was a porter this autumn and went to Chang'an City. It happened to be the case that groceries in the north and south were selling pepper seeds and the "Chi Pepper Edible Manual".

A Wu's brother was also a brave man who dared to think and did it. Without saying a word, he spent all the money he earned easily and bought all the chili seeds and dried chili to go back. There were two other "Chiji Edible Manuals". He kept one by himself, and the other for his sister and brother-in-law, and even gave the dried chili and chili seeds to them.

The couple of Ah Wu dared to think and do it. They thought about the booklet for several days, and then put what they learned into practice, turning the dried peppers that were evenly produced from their brother into chili wine.

Today I am taking it out for the first time and the business is really good.

"When the spring comes to the beginning of the next year, we will plant those pepper seeds!"

"So it is planted in the vegetable field in the yard!"

"In the future, you will grow chili wine at home, and I will carry it out and sell it!"
