Qiao'er walked over with a red jacket and asked curiously, "What are potatoes and green onions? I only know about croton. It will cause diarrhea. The Princess is not interested in eating it!"
Yun Chunuan thought that Bian Liao did not have potatoes and green onions, or perhaps they had different names.
However, after searching through the Little Princess's memories, she realized that even Great Xia did not have these things.
At the very least, the Little Princess had never eaten them.
Great Xia's diet was light, and green onions did not exist.
Could it be that potatoes were eaten by commoners and the imperial family did not like them?
"Qiao'er, potatoes are those that are round. They are dug out from the ground. There are light yellow and white ones. After they are cooked, they are soft and glutinous. After eating them, one will feel very full. Think about it, have you eaten them?"
Qiao'er nodded her head with one hand. She frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Princess, are you talking about lentils? But they are green, and they are not dug out from the ground. The beans in them are small, and they don't make you very full..."
As she finished speaking, she scratched her head.
Yun Chunuan sighed and thought, 'Alright, it seems that the place I transmigrated to does not have potatoes.'
Sob, sob, sob!
She loved eating potatoes the most! She loved all kinds of cooking methods!
Especially french fries!
Was she going to bid farewell to the fragrant potatoes in the future?
Seeing the obvious disappointment in the Little Princess's eyes, Qiao'er was a little flustered. She quickly comforted her, "Princess, don't be anxious. Maybe it's because this servant is inexperienced, that's why I haven't eaten before. The General frequents the imperial palace! You can ask the General, he must have eaten before!"
Yun Chunuan slowly shook her head.
The resources in Bian Liao were scarce. Even the owner of this body hadn't eaten potatoes before, so the imperial family in Bian Liao probably did not either.
She had originally thought that the food was for commoners, and the imperial family did not think much of it.
Now that she thought about it, there were no potatoes in this dynasty.
"Qiao'er, there should be tomatoes, right? They're so big, and the red fruits can be eaten raw or fried." Yun Chunuan made a circle with her hands and described it.
Qiao'er thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Cucumber, sweet potato, pumpkin?"
Qiao'er thought for a moment and shook her head.
Yun Chunuan was stunned.
She had already found out about the scarcity of resources in Bian Liao from Dabao the chicken.
However, she did not expect it to be this scarce!
"So, what kind of vegetables do you usually eat?"
"Vegetables? What's so delicious about that? Eat meat! Beef, mutton, venison, wild boar, tiger meat! We have wine and meat for every meal!"
Qiao'er had a proud look on her face as she quietly sized up the Little Princess's skinny little body. She could not help but think, 'Could it be that the Great Xia Kingdom could not afford to eat meat? Didn't they say that the Central Plains was rich in products? Did they have everything?'
Not really. Otherwise, why would the Little Princess be so obsessed with eating vegetables?
That wild vegetable soup was sparse, what was so delicious about it?
Yun Chunuan was quiet as she thought about this.
While Qiao'er was sizing her up, Yun Chunuan was also looking at Qiao'er.
She recalled that at the banquet last night, she did see a big plate of meat on everyone's table.
She had thought that it would only be like this on a special occasion, but who knew that it was a daily occurrence!
No wonder the people of Bian Liao were so tall and strong...
However, eating meat every meal was boring, right?
They even ate tiger meat... as expected of a barbarian land!
Qiao'er looked at the Little Princess's dejected expression, she comforted her, "Princess, don't worry. When we reach Bian Liao, you will definitely have meat for every meal! Other than chicken, there are only two in the residence. You can have any other meat you want! I guarantee that you will be white, fat, and chubby!"
The little princess revealed an awkward but polite smile. "I thank you."
Qiao'er's face was slightly red. "You're welcome! What does the Princess want to eat? Tell me!"
She shook the thick and heavy red coat and said, "Princess, do you think this will do?"
"This... is too red."
The red coat was very beautiful. There was even a circle of white fur on the collar. It was just too bright.
Yun Chunuan imagined that in the green prairie, she was dressed in red. She would be the brightest child in the entire prairie, right?
"No! Your skin is fair, so it's most suitable to wear this big red clothing!"
Inside the box were winter clothes. Qiao'er had carefully chosen this color.
Seeing the little girl's face full of anticipation, Yun Chunuan braced herself and put on the Big Red Coat.
Qiao'er was full of praise. Yun Chunuan lowered her head and took a look. It was really too red!
She bent her arms and felt uncomfortable. "Don't you want something light? This is too thick and heavy."
"That's right. I was so focused on keeping you warm that I forgot that you need to ride a horse. Hehe, change it, change it!"
Qiao'er still wanted to go look for another set of clothes, but Yun Chunuan quickly went forward. "I'll do it. Qiao'er, you take care of the little white wolf. When I come back, we'll give it a name and make a little nest. How about it?"
"Okay! Princess! I like you so much! Sob, sob! How can someone be so beautiful and so kind? Are you a fairy?"
Qiao'er started to compliment her again.
Yun Chunuan pretended not to hear it and searched around in the box. Finally, among the colorful clothes, she chose a long coat with ivory yellow and water blue edges.
It was different from the style of the big red coat that Qiao'er had just taken.
"I'll take this one."
Without Qiao'er's help, Yun Chunuan put the long coat on herself.
She looked in the mirror and found it was not bad. At least, it looked much more pleasing to the eye than the other colorful ones.
Yun Chunuan spread her arms and turned around. "Qiao'er, how is it?"
Qiao'er did not go forward for a long time. When Yun Chunuan looked over, she realized that she was stunned and tears were flowing from her eyes.
Yun Chunuan panicked. "What's wrong? Can't I wear this? I'll take it off. Don't cry!"
"No! Princess, don't change!" Qiao'er sniffled, she quickly stopped the Little Princess. "This is our Bian Liao's clothes. I thought that you will dislike it! The General specifically told me to give you time to get used to Bian Liao's clothes. If you don't like it, don't wear it."
Er...
Was it just because she wore Bian Liao's clothes?
Yun Chunuan did not understand why she needed to be so careful about a single piece of clothing.
She needed the barbarian General to remind her.
Only later did she know that the marriage between Great Xia and Bian Liao was filled with unequal contracts. It had clear rules about what the Princess should wear.
The Great Xia people felt that changing into Bian Liao's clothes meant that they had lost their integrity and accepted Bian Liao.
Yun Chunuan shook her head. They had already sent her here for marriage, so how could she say that she had no integrity?
A delicate and weak Little Princess was in a foreign land, so how could she go against a nation?
Moreover, there was such an unreliable messenger who sent her off. She had been wearing undergarments in public, so why even mention Bian Liao's clothes?
