Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Chapter 5: The Problem of Overthinking

As Jiang Tuan inadvertently said more and more things, Jiang Qi became more and more interested in the other world in which the other person lived.

He had a feeling that if he could learn just one-tenth or one-twelve of what was there, no, maybe just one-hundred or one-twelve, he would be able to make the Great Xia Dynasty completely different.

The ministers present were all very smart, and they could naturally think of what Jiang Qi could think of.

However, they knew that some things could not be accomplished overnight. Before they fully understood whether Jiang Tuan was harmful to them and whether the other world had ill intentions towards them, they would not easily trust each other.

However, since we can’t believe big things, it’s okay to start understanding them from small things.

"I haven't heard much of what you said."

Jiang Qi's frank words made Jiang Tuan feel even more embarrassed. He was a guest, and he should follow the local customs. The emperor ate the same food as him, so it was not good for him to be picky.

But he was not sure how long he could stay here. Maybe he would go back after a sleep, or maybe he would never go back.

If it were the latter, and he had to eat hard bread and tasteless food like these people for the rest of his life, he would really be living a life worse than death.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tuan's habit of daydreaming came back. He wondered, if he was to stay here forever, how could he improve the food problem?

Let’s not think about the staple food for now. He can cook, but steaming buns requires baking powder, and he doesn’t know how to make baking powder!

If you really can't help it, ask if there is rice here! Maybe, maybe, there is. If there is really no rice, since there is bread, it means there is noodles, and you can eat noodles, so it's not a big problem.

As for the dishes, he took a bite of the cooked dish and thought that the reason why it tasted so bad was probably because of the salt. It is said that the salt in ancient times did not remove all the impurities in it, so it tasted bitter and astringent.

The vegetables became so unpalatable because of the salt, and the meat should be the same. In the final analysis, if he wanted to eat delicious vegetables, he had to solve the salt problem first.

But how to purify salt? It seems like a chemistry question. Could people in ancient times conduct chemical experiments? Is there a simpler method?

It’s bad. He has only been in college for one year and he is already forgetting everything he learned!

This requires careful consideration and some attempts, perhaps to purify the crude salt, which means that it will take some time for him to eat salt without bitterness.

The salt, which is essential for the human body, cannot be produced in a short time, not to mention other things like soy sauce and MSG, which will take even longer.

After thinking it over, Jiang Tuan decided that in order to avoid starving to death, he should try to purify the salt and make something edible.

After a meal that was too much to swallow, the sky in Daxia darkened.

Jiang Tuan was a little tired. He had been playing in the tourist attractions for most of the day and suddenly traveled to a strange place. Now that he had eaten something and had food in his stomach, he began to feel sleepy.

Seeing that Jiang Tuan was becoming listless, Jiang Qi thoughtfully asked Ning Bai to take him to rest. But before leaving, a small incident occurred.

Jiang Tuan couldn't kneel like the others present, so he chose to sit cross-legged.

However, for people who are used to sitting on chairs, being able to sit cross-legged is only a temporary thing; their legs will still become numb after a long time.

So when he was about to leave, he found that he couldn't get up. He didn't know how many times this had been embarrassing, but he was numb to it.

He looked up and gave an embarrassed smile to Ning Bai who was holding his clothes and waiting on the side: "Excuse me, help me up, my legs are numb and I can't get up."

Jiang Tuan is a normal adult male, and he was wearing thick clothes, which made him quite heavy. When he was being supported, he tried not to put all his weight on Ning Bai.

However, he didn't feel it so bad when he was sitting. When he stood up, he found that his legs were so numb that he almost lost all feeling and even standing was a problem.

He staggered and had to lean towards Ning Bai.

Ning Bai didn't look fat, but he was holding a thick down jacket, which didn't look very convenient.

Jiang Tuan was afraid of crushing someone, so he wanted to get up quickly. However, it would take time for the numbness in his legs to get better. He struggled a few times, but it was meaningless except making himself feel worse.

He smiled at Ning Bai, expressed his apologies, and silently waited for the numbness in his legs to pass.

As if she could see through his thoughts, Ning Bai said in a respectful tone: "If Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, you can rely on me."

As a modern person, Jiang Tuan's first reaction after hearing Ning Bai's words was not gratitude but awkwardness.

Although on the Internet, people always joke that office workers are modern slaves, and their bosses only pay them a little money and make them work hard for them.

However, no matter how much they are exploited, modern employees always have the right to choose not to work. In ancient society, slaves were slaves. If they wanted to change jobs, quit their jobs, or curse their boss behind his back, they would have to do so if they didn’t want to live anymore.

They could not refuse, could not resist, and even called themselves lowly slaves. This was the real life of slaves in ancient times.

Perhaps it was because Ning Bai gave him a good impression, or perhaps it was because he was an ordinary person and could not like and adapt to this kind of hierarchy relationship like some upper-class people. When Jiang Tuan heard Ning Bai calling himself a slave, he felt uncomfortable all over.

He was worried that if he said something wrong or did something wrong in the Great Xia Dynasty, he would be forced to become a slave and become someone like Ning Bai, who had to serve others.

At the same time as being worried, I also felt very sorry. I felt sorry that such a handsome and gentle person would become a slave.

This is probably his uncertainty about his own fate and his sigh about the fate of others!

However, Jiang Tuan’s first reaction did not last long, and his second reaction came. Ning Bai was so strong!

His own weight plus the weight of his clothes didn't seem to be a problem for Ning Bai at all. The other party just exerted a little strength, and he leaned on him easily.

He suspected that if the occasion and identity were not wrong, the other party would even pick him up and walk away.

Jiang Tuan looked at Ning Bai's face and not very strong body, and remembered the other party's invisible presence before, and the surprise in his eyes was about to overflow.

Could it be that the Great Xia Dynasty had the legendary inner strength and lightness skills? Could it make a person extremely powerful? Could it make a person restrain his aura?

Which man didn’t have a martial arts dream when he was a child?

A younger brother like Jiang Tuan, who has been oppressed by the princess for many years, has fantasized countless times about the day when he would master martial arts and turn from an oppressed person into a master.

"Mr. Jiang?"

Hearing Ning Bai calling him, Jiang Tuan woke up from his fantasy and once again despised himself for his habit of daydreaming.

"Oh, oh, it's okay, it's okay."

I felt my legs and found that the numbness was gone.
