Orc Wolf King

When the three of them returned, they were already sitting in groups, eating a large amount of food in front of them, eating meat and drinking, the orcs were bold and bold, and the females were also lively and talkative. Sometimes the children played and played mischievously. Mischief, laughter and laughter.

After Keke's father came to take the baby away, Lemans also took his lover to find an empty place to sit down.

Lin Yeqiu was already moved by the scent of the index finger, and immediately started to move. Like everyone else, he grabbed the food he liked and stuffed it into his mouth. He drank the fragrant wheat oil tea that was only available on special festivals, and joined everyone Just kidding, but his hands were already greasy for a while, and he hiccupped occasionally.

There was a smile on the corner of Lemans' mouth, and his eyes fell on the people beside him from time to time. At first, the others were apprehensive because of the presence of the Wolf King, but seeing that the usually majestic and intimidating king was so approachable, gentle and amiable, they decided to Also let go of the courage to laugh.

When more than half of the food was eaten, someone brought up a large plate of snacks and dried fruits and placed it in the center.

Looking at the dazzling array of food, Lin Yeqiu only hated why her stomach was not bigger, especially when faced with the temptation of all kinds of delicacies, she became more and more envious of the big appetite of the orcs.

However, what puzzled him was, how could some snacks look so—evil?

Let's talk about the long strips of snacks facing him. How come the color and shape are so familiar?

Lemans picked up two at random, and handed one to him. Lin Yeqiu took it in a daze, and looked at it for a long time: a piece of food as long as a palm, about four or five centimeters in diameter, red in color, standing upright. The cylindrical shape, the full round head on the top, especially the two bulging egg shapes below the cylindrical shape...

He frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly he heard someone snickering, eating this snack and laughing in a low voice, does this little thing look like yours, he was stunned for a while, suddenly Realizing what this suspicious shape was, he couldn't help but blush.

How can I eat this thing?

"Why don't you eat it?" While Lin Yeqiu was in a daze, Lemans had already finished that thing, took another kind of snack, and gave him one as before, with a kind explanation, "Eat this You have to break the two sides apart like this first, if you are lucky, there will be a good jade inside, which indicates good luck in the coming year, so you must break it before eating, otherwise, if you bite down carefully, you will hurt your teeth, and you will be very happy. "

Lin Yeqiu stared at the pastry in his hand. It looked like a person sitting on a stool with his legs together, his hands resting on his knees, but the pastry was only in the lower body.

Lemans said, and his subordinates also demonstrated. He gently moved his hands to the left and right on both sides of his knees, exposing the egg yolk inside. break apart...

Lemans clicked his tongue: "I didn't get any jade!" He looked a little regretful, and then swallowed the dessert in two mouthfuls without changing his face.

Lin Yeqiu was dumbfounded, holding the long snack in his left hand, and the strange piece of snack in his right hand, his face was red and green, and he didn't know whether to throw away the things in hand or put them back on the plate.

"What are these!" He growled close to someone who was eating happily.

Lemans raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand, but when he saw his lover's blushing face, he suddenly understood, chuckled a few times, and teased ambiguously: "Oh, it seems that Xiaoqiu is thinking of something erotic Is something wrong?" You still look very impure.

Lin Yeqiu instantly turned black: "Who asked you to make such a thing! Everyone will think wrong!"

"These are all carefully prepared for lovers!"

"A pack of perverts!"

Lemans laughed straight, put his arms around his thin-skinned lover, and whispered softly in his ear: "I didn't expect Xiao Qiu to be so cute..."

"You laugh at me?"

Lemans still had a gentle expression on his face: "Try it, it tastes very good, it's a thousand times better than your favorite sumu cake!"

Lin Yeqiu looked down at the thing in his hand suspiciously, but this thing was so realistically made that he felt like he had eaten someone's thing with a bite, and his face changed drastically. Thousands, there was a moment of hesitation in my heart.

"What are you afraid of! I'll eat with you! Here!" Lemans encouraged him all the time, and he ate three more in a row, still looking as if he still couldn't get enough of it.

In the end, Lin Yeqiu closed his eyes, bit down like a desperate one, and almost spat it out, what the hell is this?It turned out to be bitter!

"Hey! Don't vomit, the change will come soon!"

Before Lin Yeqiu understood what he meant, the feeling in his mouth changed immediately, the bitterness disappeared all of a sudden, it became a bit salty, and gradually he tasted like meat?But it's obviously pasta...

Just as he was in doubt, Lemans said again: "Don't be afraid, if you taste it slowly, you will still be surprised!"

Sure enough, it was followed by sour, sweet, and even mint and other fruit flavors, but these various flavors were independent. Only after one flavor passed, another flavor came out, and they were not mixed together. , After eating, I feel that my mouth is full of fragrance, which is endless aftertaste.

Curious!

"how?"

"How did you do this?" Lin Yeqiu's eyes widened in disbelief. Even in this world, no one can make such food, right?

"This is unique to our wolf clan!" Lemans said very proudly.

"That's why I asked you how to do it, and I will try it some other day!" Lin Yeqiu was eager to try it, obviously very curious.

"Uh... this snack is troublesome to make, and some of the ingredients are extremely rare, so you can only eat it on special days like this."

"I'm asking about the specific method!"

"Uh, Xiaoqiu, if you want to eat, I'll ask someone to make it for you in the future, why bother to make it yourself, what a hassle!" Lemans stroked his slightly long bangs on his forehead affectionately, coaxing with.

Lin Yeqiu looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly understood, nodded his head as if suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, you don't know! Tell me earlier, I won't make it difficult for you!" squinting at him with some contempt he.

Lemans rubbed his nose: "This is the recipe passed down by the chief chef of the castle's kitchen, and no one will pass it on."

Lin Yeqiu sighed regretfully.

"However, you can eat this kind of snacks for 20 days, and there will be more novelties tomorrow—" Lemans relieved, and handed some more from the plate, "Here, I will give you all Hello."

"Wait a minute, I'm exhausted now..." Lin Yeqiu rubbed his belly, feeling very helpless.

"Would you like to go for a walk?" Lemans took some meat and a pot of drink, and the two walked nearby.

Away from the hustle and bustle and the smell of food, Lin Yeqiu was silent for a while, and the two sat under a big tree after leaving for a while.

Lemans poured a cup of wheat oil tea for the other party, Lin Yeqiu took it and took a sip, a strange feeling of fragrance, smoothness and oily taste spread in his mouth.

This is the first time he drank this tea today, it seems that it is very troublesome to make, and the materials are limited, so it is only available on special days such as grand events.

When I drank the first cup, I felt that the taste was strange, and I was not used to it, but after drinking it, I felt that it tasted better.

Lin Yeqiu somehow remembered the buttered tea in this world, but he had never been to Tibet, so he didn't know if it was the same as buttered tea.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Lin Yeqiu raised his eyes and smiled: "It's nothing." After a pause, he said, "Suddenly remembered a drink from my hometown, which seems to be somewhat similar to this."

"Oh?"

"There is a place called Tibet far away from my hometown. The people there usually eat a kind of butter tea. It is very laborious to make, and foreign tourists may not be used to the taste when drinking it for the first time, but the people are very fond of it. Like it, and will use it to entertain guests to show respect and hospitality. This tea is said to have a love story.”

"Story? Let's hear it?" Lemans looked very interested.

"It's not a good story." Lin Yeqiu smiled, shook his head, and said lightly.In the past, his rotten girlfriend was very interested in customs and ethnic groups, so he also learned a little bit about it. Recently, it has become easier to fall in love with the scene.

Lemans looked at him, was silent for a while, and said softly, "I want to hear it."

Lin Yeqiu glanced at him, and slowly began to talk: "I can't think about the specifics, I just remember that there seems to be two tribes who have been fighting endlessly in the legend, and they hate each other, but a female has a relationship with a hostile tribe. A male fell in love, and the tribe where the female belonged killed the male, and at the cremation of the dead male, the female resolutely jumped into the sea of ​​fire to die in love."

Lymans took a low breath.

"After the two died, the female became the tea leaves on the tea tree, and the male became the salt in the lake... Butter tea is made by beating salted ghee with tea water. When the Tibetan people made butter tea , Tea and Salt met again, and this poignant and sad love story was born."

Lin Yeqiu's narration has been very gentle and calm.

Lemans didn't speak, Lin Yeqiu also fell silent, and the unfinished wheat oil tea in his hand had run out of steam, and chills hit his fingertips.

Lin Yeqiu looked at the half cup of tea in his hand, with a dazed expression on his face. He suddenly remembered himself. There was no doubt about Lemans' affection, and he seemed to be trusting and relying on each other more and more without knowing it, but they really could be like this live forever?

He, after all, does not belong here...

The issue of heirs, the issue of longevity...

It is impossible for them to grow old together...

But in this world, there is still his concern.But he doesn't know how to act...

"Xiaoqiu..." Seeing his sad appearance, Lemans couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart, and saw a trace of trance between his brows. For a moment, he felt that the person in front of him seemed to be going away at any time, and couldn't help feeling anxious.

Lin Yeqiu was startled suddenly when he heard the sound, and when he looked up, he saw the worry and panic in the other person's eyes. His heart was shocked again, he paused, and pretended to smile relaxedly: "Why this expression? It's just a story, do you really care about it?" gone?"

Lemans pursed his lips, stared at him quietly, and did not answer. His expression was unexpectedly deep, and in the deep was a hint of forbearance and reluctance, as if he had seen through something.

Seeing this, Lin Yeqiu's smile froze.

The two of them didn't speak again. After a long time, Lin Yeqiu felt a little bit embarrassed under such affectionate and sharp gaze, and turned his head away involuntarily.

In the silence, the hands were covered with warmth, and a deep voice sounded from the side: "No matter what happens, I will love you, and I will protect you."

The author has something to say:

【Butter Milk Tea】:

A Tibetan drink.It is mostly eaten with Zanba (zānbā) as a staple food.This drink is processed with ghee and strong tea (brick tea).First put an appropriate amount of ghee (butter extracted from yak milk) into a special barrel, add salt, then pour in the boiled strong tea juice, and beat repeatedly with a wooden handle to dissolve the ghee and tea juice into a milky Serve.Another way is to put ghee and tea into a leather bag, tie the bag tightly, and beat it hard with a wooden stick.Therefore, the configuration of butter tea is called "beating" butter tea.It is a very laborious job for a hostess to entertain guests, which can now also be configured with an electric mixer.Some ethnic groups adjacent to the Tibetans also have the habit of drinking butter tea.

Because brick tea contains a lot of tannin, it stimulates gastrointestinal peristalsis and speeds up digestion. Drinking it alone can make you hungry, so you must add ghee or milk. Mongolians generally drink milk tea. Tibetan yaks do not produce much milk, so they generally use ghee tea to entertain guests.

Historical legend: Tibetans are fond of buttered tea. There is a folk love story about the origin of buttered tea.Legend has it that there were two tribes in Tibetan areas who once had feuds due to armed fights.Mei Meicuo, the daughter of the chieftain in charge of the tribe, fell in love with Wen Dunba, the son of the chieftain of the Nu tribe, in labor. When Dunba held the cremation ceremony, Mei Meicuo jumped into the flames to die in love.After the death of both parties, Mei Meicuo went to the mainland to become tea leaves on tea trees, and Wen Dunba went to Qiangtang to become salt in salt lakes. Whenever Tibetans made buttered tea, tea and salt met again, which was triggered by tea customs. The story has a strong artistic appeal
