Chapter 474

Red Origin

After Wu Yonglin left in Tan Daoji, Zhaxi Zedan and his group left in a panic, they were invited to the felt tent by the old man in Luosang. After Wu Yonglin walked in, the old man in Luosang took an iron kettle with steaming steam from the rack in the middle of the brazier, poured the fragrant butter tea into the two gilded copper cups arranged in advance, and then handed one of them to Wu Yonglin who was sitting down on the old man's right hand.

There are various methods for making butter tea. Generally, it is boiled first and then boiled. That is, add cold water to the teapot or pot, add appropriate amount of brick tea or Tuo tea, cover and boil, and then boil over low heat until the tea water is dark brown and not bitter in the mouth. Add a little salt to this kind of strong tea to make salty tea. If you add a piece of ghee to a tea bowl to dissolve it in the tea, it becomes the simplest butter tea.

Butter tea is a must-have drink for the Tubo people every day and is a necessity for life on the Tubo plateau. First, it can cure altitude sickness, second, it can prevent the cracked lips due to dry weather, third, it can play a good role in keeping cold. It can drive away the cold when it is cold, remove greasy when eating meat, fill up hunger when hungry, relieve fatigue when it is tired, and also clear the mind when it is sleepy. Tea contains vitamins, which can reduce the damage caused by the lack of vegetables on the plateau. The color of butter tea is similar to that of strong cocoa tea. Take a sip.

Tea is very strong and has a special aftertaste. But the taste of butter tea itself is really not satisfactory. Many Han people who have never been to Tubo cannot tolerate its smell and are often difficult to swallow, but they cannot ignore it. Tubo people always say understandingly that they get used to it after drinking too much, and even like it. It is always like this. If you enter the orchid room for a long time, you won’t smell the fragrance. In a local saying, it is said: the first odor is unbearable, the second odor is fragrant, and the third odor will never forget it.

Wu Yonglin has been used to the existence of butter tea in the past two years. Because Yin Lengshuang really couldn't stand the smell, the first time I checked the family did not make a "snow painting" that specializes in butter refining ghee (a special large wooden barrel, about 4 feet high and about 1 foot in diameter, used to hold the heated milk squeezed out of the cow and sheep, and then used a wooden handle to whip the milk up and down repeatedly, and stir the milk back and forth hundreds of times, making the milky butter, and then made the milky butter). After rushing to Hongyuan for a long distance, Yin Lengshuang pinched his nose and poured his mouth with a mouthful of it, and gradually got used to this special tea.

Wu Yonglin drank the cup of butter tea in front of him in one go. Drinking all the butter tea in his hand was the greatest respect for the Tubo people.

"Zhashi Dele, there are fewer and fewer Han tea merchants walking from Li County to us. If a merchant surnamed Yan had not exchanged a batch of tea bricks with us a few months ago, my tribe and I would have had many difficulties in spending this winter. I hope that God will bless him. The Han man who came today put forward very generous conditions for us, and he said he would be willing to provide us with tea continuously in the future."

"Zashidler, I'm afraid the price you need to pay is also huge, right?"

"Wu, you know that we Tubo people are not afraid of death. If we can get the supplies that will keep others alive, they are willing to give their blood and life."

"Then some people are moved by saying this? Then all the warriors in your tribe have left, what should we do if the remaining old, weak, women and children? If you lose the same many warriors as the Black Water Tribe, do you think the tribe of the Red Origin tribe can still survive and gain a foothold in this land?"

"This is also a problem I'm worried about, but some elders in the tribe don't listen at all. They are possessed by the devil. They only care about the immediate interests and have never thought about the life or death of others."

"Do you want me to stop them from doing this irrational behavior?"

"Wu, you are better than Kubai's first place. If you are willing to help, it will be much better than my verbal warning."

"After all, I lost to Tso Muhun in the end, and I was actually barely ranked second."

"Wu, you are humble. In the hearts of all Tubo people, you will always be the top name in Kubai. Tubo people will always remember your kindness. After all, we no longer lack salt, right? As for tea, I know you have tried your best. Gesang said to me that you almost gave up your life in Dali. I was ashamed of being almost moved by the conditions proposed by that person."

"The border court in Dali Kingdom will sooner or later be open to Tubo, and there will be a steady stream of tea here, but it may take some time to wait. We cannot always live by people pinching our throats, so this is the real reason why I came here this time."

"You mean to be the owner of this land in Li County?"

"Why do you need to be a cheaper outsider? Those people from the Black Water Ministry are not very popular this time. I guess you have suffered a lot in front of them over the years. When their warriors are dispatched, isn't it the best time for Hongyuan to become bigger and stronger?"

There was a look of excitement on the face of the old man Lausanne. Psychologically, he was more willing to accept Wu Yonglin's suggestion. The man in front of him had created countless miracles. He reunited the Tubo people who had been divided for more than a hundred years. The Emperor of Dali was also related to him. From the time he brought his family to the place, he might have a complete plan for Western Shu. As for how to take Li County in the first step, this is something that the old man Lausanne could not imagine. He was so excited that he stood up suddenly and walked around the felt tent. Finally, he mustered up the courage to make a difficult decision: "If Wu, your Gangcha City is willing to accept us, I will take all the Tubo children and the elderly away immediately. As for the Tubo warriors in my tribe, everything will be assigned by you."

Wu Yonglin calmly poured a cup of butter tea into his copper cup, took a big sip, and smiled and said, "You are willing to let the Tubo warriors in the tribe follow me to fight on the battlefield and give them a fresh life. I don't want it. If we use force to solve the problem of Lixian, I am afraid that the entire Tubo warriors are not enough. After all, behind him is a country as big as the Wei Kingdom, not to mention that the Tubo brothers may not be used to the life in that place. There is no butter tea, no horse milk wine, no vast grassland, and no strong horses for the warriors to ride."

"Wu, you're always more careful than I think about it."

"Because we are a family, as for those who don't have the same heart as us, we will use the strength and broad chest of the Hongyuan Tubo warriors to conquer them."

"What if they kill one of them and shoot back?"
