Chapter 34 - She Did Not Expect it to Be So Scarce!
The General's Darling Is Delicate
Chapter 34 She Did Not Expect it to Be So Scarce!
Qiaoâer walked over with a red jacket and asked curiously, âWhat are potatoes and green onions? I only know about croton. It will cause diarrhea. The Princess is not interested in eating it!â
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 Princessâs memories, she realized that even Great Xia did not have these things.
At the very least, the Little Princess had never eaten them.
Great Xiaâs 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?
âQiaoâer, 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?â
Qiaoâer nodded her head with one hand. She frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, âPrincess, 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 donât make you very fullâ¦â
As she finished speaking, she scratched her head.
Yun Chunuan sighed and thought, âAlright, it seems that the place I transmigrated to does not have potatoes.â
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 Princessâs eyes, Qiaoâer was a little flustered. She quickly comforted her, âPrincess, donât be anxious. Maybe itâs because this servant is inexperienced, thatâs why I havenât eaten before. The General frequents the imperial palace! You can ask the General, he must have eaten before!â
Yun Chunuan slowly shook her head.
The resources in Bian Liao were scarce. Even the owner of this body hadnât 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.
âQiaoâer, there should be tomatoes, right? Theyâre so big, and the red fruits can be eaten raw or fried.â Yun Chunuan made a circle with her hands and described it.
Qiaoâer thought for a moment and shook her head.
âCucumber, sweet potato, pumpkin?â
Qiaoâer 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!
âSo, what kind of vegetables do you usually
eat?!
âVegetables? Whatâs so delicious about that? Eat meat! Beef, mutton, venison, wild boar, tiger meat! We have wine and meat for every meal!â
Qiaoâer had a proud look on her face as she quietly sized up the Little Princessâs skinny little body. She could not help but think, âCould it be that the Great Xia Kingdom could not afford to eat meat? Didnât they say that the Central Plains was rich in products? Did they have everything?â
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 Qiaoâer was sizing her up, Yun Chunuan was also looking at Qiaoâer.
She recalled that at the banquet last night, she did see a big plate of meat on everyoneâs 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 strongâ¦
However, eating meat every meal was boring, right?
They even ate tiger meat⦠as expected of a barbarian land!
Qiaoâer looked at the Little Princessâs dejected expression, she comforted her, âPrincess, donât 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!â
The little princess revealed an awkward but polite smile. âI thank you.â
Qiaoâerâs face was slightly red. âYouâre welcome! What does the Princess want to eat? Tell me!â
She shook the thick and heavy red coat and said, âPrincess, do you think this will do?â
âThis⦠is too red.â
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?
âNo! Your skin is fair, so itâs most suitable to wear this big red clothing!â
Inside the box were winter clothes. Qiaoâer had carefully chosen this color.
Seeing the little girlâs face full of anticipation, Yun Chunuan braced herself and put on the Big Red Coat.
Qiaoâer 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. âDonât you want something light? This is too thick and heavy.â âThatâs right. I was so focused on keeping you warm that I forgot that you need to ride a horse. Hehe, change it, change it!â
Qiaoâer still wanted to go look for another set of clothes, but Yun Chunuan quickly went forward. âIâll do it. Qiaoâer, you take care of the little white wolf. When I come back, weâll give it a name and make a little nest. How about it?â
âOkay! Princess! I like you so much! Sob, sob! How can someone be so beautiful and so kind? Are you a fairy?â
Qiaoâer 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 Qiaoâer had just taken.
âIâll take this one.â
Without Qiaoâerâs 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. âQiaoâer, how is it?â
Qiaoâer 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. âWhatâs wrong? Canât I wear this? Iâll take it off. Donât cry!â
âNo! Princess, donât change!â Qiaoâer sniffled, she quickly stopped the Little Princess. âThis is our Bian Liaoâs clothes. I thought that you will dislike it! The General specifically told me to give you time to get used to Bian Liaoâs clothes. If you donât like it, donât wear it.â
Erâ¦
Was it just because she wore Bian Liaoâs 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 Liaoâs 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 Liaoâs clothes?
