In fact, Luo Yong's health has gotten much better in the past two years.
At least when he was in Chang'an City, there were many people weaker than him.
However, after coming to the Hexi Corridor, the environment around him became very different.
To the men in these tribes, the young men in Chang'an City are simply a bunch of weaklings.
Although in Luo Yong's view, most of the young gentlemen trained under the elite education model are not too weak.
At least they can ride horses.
They are many times stronger than those otakus of later generations.
Luo Yong felt that he was now many times stronger than those otakus of later generations.
However, if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will have to throw them away.
"It's cold in winter, why don't Saburo stay with us for a few more days?"
On this day, when Luo Yong and the others were getting ready to go, a Han son-in-law of the tribal leader and his father-in-law came out to persuade them to stay.
"Don't dare to delay the date of taking office."
Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin worked together to lift a sack of luggage onto the backs of five pairs.
The snow on this section of the road was so thick that it was very difficult for the donkey cart to drive on the snow.
The five pairs and the other donkey were a little overwhelmed.
They had to abandon the cart and walk for the rest of the trip.
As for the luggage, I gave it to the two donkeys.
The donkey carries it away.
Traveling in this wind and snow is a very difficult task even for nomads like them, let alone the Central Plains people in front of them.
The leader of this tribe was also very generous.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded to stay, he asked someone to take a horse from his horse pen and give it to Luo Yong.
Luo Yong was very happy, but he did not take it for nothing.
He took it from his luggage.
After rummaging through it, he took out a bag of tea and gave it to the other party.
In this era, tea is still a relatively rare and rare thing.
Although the people in the Central Plains pay attention to the way of making tea, their tea contains a lot of miscellaneous things.
Some people also add some crushed tea leaves, and some people don’t even add tea leaves at all. .
At this time in the western region, people did not have the habit of drinking tea.
The climate at this time was relatively humid.
In the Hexi Corridor, in addition to pastoral areas, you can occasionally see some farming areas.
In addition, you can also collect some wild fruits and vegetables on the hillsides and grasslands.
People graze, collect, and cultivate.
I exchanged the items I needed from the market, and lived like this year after year.
Apart from not being rich enough, there seemed to be no shortcomings.
"This is tea.
You can make soup with snow water and drink it, or you can add some other things to it.
Eating it can make people more energetic and healthy."
Luo Yong said to the Han son-in-law and his father-in-law Words.
This Han son-in-law did not come from a noble family.
He did not understand the tea ceremony.
He had only heard some merchants mention it before and knew that it was a precious thing.
So he told them what he knew and what Luo Yong said to them.
He translated it together and gave it to his leader, his father-in-law.
The leader, the father-in-law, heard that this bag of tea turned out to be such a noble existence, and was very satisfied with Luo Yong's return gift.
Their tribe's income has been pretty good in the past two years.

As a leader, his life is naturally getting richer day by day.
Now he has no shortage of food and clothing.
The next step is to improve the quality of life.
For Luo Yong and the others, there is no need to think about the quality of life during the few months of travel.
It is good to be able to reach Guazhou alive.
Most of the horses they got from the tribe leader were ridden by Luo Yong, because apart from Luo Yong, the five people in their group, including Qiao Junlin and Apu, were all in pretty good physical condition.
Five pairs of them were walking on the snowy road carrying their luggage, and they were grunting from exhaustion.
Look up again and look at the road ahead.
The world is vast and the road is so long that it seems like it will never end.
"We've been walking for most of the day, let's stop and take a rest."
Luo Yong saw that the two donkeys seemed to be extremely tired, and the horse sitting under him was also panting from exhaustion, so he spoke to the one in front of him.
Qiao Junlin said.
But as soon as he said these words, he found that he was so cold that his voice was trembling, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Yeah."
Qiao Junlin didn't think much about it.
He looked left and right, found a leeward place not far from the roadside, and led a few people there to rest.
Although they did not plan to stay here for a long time, Qiao Junlin and the others still took the trouble to unload the things on the backs of the two donkeys.
There was still a long way to go, and they could not suffer any loss now.
If one was missing, livestock, the road ahead will become more difficult.
Fortunately, although this place is deserted, it is not the kind of place where no grass grows.
After searching around, you can still collect some dry branches.
It took some time to light a fire, and a few people crowded around and gathered around the fire.
Standing next to the fire and drinking a few sips of hot water can relax you to some extent.
Qiao Junlin took out a few sesame seed cakes from their luggage, grilled them on the fire, and then grilled a few slices of lamb leg meat brought from the tribe in front, then spread some sauce on them, and sandwiched them with Among the sesame cakes, the first one was given to Luo Yong.
Luo Yong is not polite.
He has the worst physical fitness among the group.
Trying to adjust his physical condition and try not to cause trouble to others is the only thing he can do at the moment.
The one who takes care of others can not go there for the time being. think.
While Luo Yong and others were eating dry food around the fire in the ice and snow, the people of the tribe behind them were staying peacefully in warm wool felt tents, wearing more clothes than in previous years.
Soft and comfortable clothes, and more abundant food piled around him than in previous years.
At this time, their leader was studying how to eat a bag of tea in his tent.
His Han Chinese son-in-law obviously couldn't give him any good advice, so the leader decided to figure out how to eat the tea by himself.
Although Narasaburo also told him that it could be boiled with snow water and drank directly, he thought that way of eating it was really a waste of resources.
Naturally, such precious tea should be cooked with the best ingredients.
What, you said that the snow water from the seventh century AD was pure, natural, pollution-free and precious?
The leader obviously didn't think so.
He used all the good ingredients he could get to cook with the tea, and he was only willing to put in one or two tea leaves each time.
According to his method of cooking, naturally there was no tea flavor after boiling, until one day, he boiled a few tea leaves with goat's milk.
Perhaps the previous failure made him a little frustrated, so he put it aside this time.
There were several times more tea leaves than usual, only about seven or eight pieces.
"Oh my god, can you smell the fragrance of the tea leaves?"
The pot of milk tea has not been cooked yet, but the fragrance wafting out has already made the leader very excited.
"So this is how you can eat tea."
His family members in the tent were also very surprised.
After the pot of milk tea was cooked, the leader personally distributed it to everyone.

First, he divided the goat's milk, pouring half a bowl of goat's milk into each pottery bowl, and then divided the tea leaves, one piece for each person.
In the end, there was not enough.
The youngest children in the family did not get a share.
After dividing the milk tea, the whole family gathered around to drink it.
First they drank the goat milk in one mouthful, then they picked up the tea leaves and put them in their mouths, slowly chewing them bit by bit and swallowing them.
Anyway, at least they know how to use tea leaves to make milk tea, although the way to eat this milk tea is a little weird.
If compared with a new food recently developed by the Central Plains people, this weird thing is actually nothing.
Last time Luo Yong published and sold a chili cooking manual, the sales were very popular in Chang'an City, and many people bought it and shipped it to other places.
In that chili eating manual, there was an article about using chili peppers in the sauce.
As a result, many people didn't understand it after buying it.
Since they were illiterate, there was nothing they could do.
They studied the picture over and over again, and finally got used to it.
They developed chili wine, but the pictures of sauce making and wine making looked so similar.
"Chili wine, chili wine, is the most popular chili wine in Chang'an City this year.
Take a sip and your whole body will be warm."
In the middle of winter, there are vendors selling chili wine in the streets and alleys.
Not to mention, there are quite a lot of people buying it.
I heard that it was popular from Chang'an City.
Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, there are many people who follow the trend.
Fortunately, the wine these days is made from distiller's yeast, not the high-alcohol liquor of later generations.
Most of the wine at this time is relatively mild, and the alcohol content is not very high.
Even if you soak it in chili peppers and drink it, nothing big will happen.
"A Wu, look at how much money I earned today."
The chili wine was easy to sell, and the wine vendor made a lot of money.
He was so happy when he returned home.
He and his wife were counting the coins earned today in the house.
Several children were running around, and the whole family felt like celebrating a festival. of.
"Thanks also to your brother for bringing us this booklet."
"I heard that they are all sold out in Chang'an City."
"It is said that these peppers are easier to buy, but the booklet is difficult to buy."
"My brother said that he went there several times before finally buying these two books."
The brother of this woman named A Wu worked as a porter in autumn this year and went to Chang'an City.
He happened to catch up with the North and South Grocery Store selling chili seeds and chili cooking manuals.
A Wu's brother was also a daring thinker.
Without saying a word, he spent all the porter money he had earned so easily to buy chili seeds and dried chili peppers back home.
In addition, he also had two chili cooking manuals.
I kept one copy and gave the other to my sister and brother-in-law, along with some of the dried chili peppers and chili seeds.
The A-Wu couple also dared to think and act.
They pondered over the booklet for several days, and then applied what they learned and turned the dried chili peppers they received from their brother into chili wine.
I went out to sell it for the first time today, and the business was actually very good.
"When spring comes next year, we will plant those pepper seeds."
“I planted it in the vegetable patch in the courtyard.”
"From now on, you can grow peppers at home and make wine, and I will carry them out to sell."
"Yeah" gd1806102:
