The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low

In the vast grassland, there are several concentrated tent groups scattered around, and there are cattle and sheep grazing everywhere.

Ashnasimo dismissed the army and sent them back to their tribes.

Zhao Tuo followed Ashina Simo and came to his grassland pasture.

In the distance, a girl in a red robe rode up on a horse, shouting loudly.

"Abu!"

Ashina Simo explained to Zhao Tuo with a smile: "This is my daughter, named Jimmy!" ”

When Jimmy approached, Zhao Tuo took a closer look, and his long black and bright hair was scattered on his head. Curved eyebrows, bright and large eyes. The pink face, the wind and frost of the grassland did not leave a trace on her face.

"Abu, you're back!" Jimmy greeted Ashnasimo happily

Ashina Simo was also very happy, touched Jimmy's hair, and said with a smile, "How are you doing?" Are you doing with your Eji? ”

With a sweet smile, Jimmy replied, "We're all doing well, but we all miss you a little bit!" ”

"Abu, come home with me!"

Jimmy took Ashnasimo's arm, and the two rode their horses and quickly ran towards the tent not far away.

Zhao Tuo followed them closely, and after a while, he stopped in front of a tent.

Seeing Ashina Simo and his daughter walk into the tent, Zhao Tuo was not embarrassed and followed in.

There was only one middle-aged woman in the tent, sitting in the center arranging the sheepskin, Zhao Tuo did not disturb their family gathering, just sat quietly on the side.

After a long while, Ashina Simo took Jimmy and came to Zhao Tuo and explained to her, "This is the master of Abu, the greatest warrior!" ”

Jimmy listened to Ashina Simo's introduction, his face was shocked, and he couldn't believe it.

Ashnasimo saw her doubts and explained with a smile: "On the battlefield, with the bravery of one man, he defeated Abu's nine thousand cavalry head-on. ”

"And he also killed Tuli and Jieli, and made Abu the new Khan!"

Jimmy still didn't believe it, slowly walked to Zhao Tuo's side, pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and slashed at Zhao Tuo!

Zhao Tuo just stretched out two fingers, clamped the blade of the knife, and with a twist of his wrist, he snatched the scimitar from Jimmy's hand, shook it hard, and slammed the knife into the ground.

Ashina Simo immediately apologized to Zhao Tuo: "Jimmy is not sensible, don't blame her!" ”

Zhao Tuo smiled, not taking this matter to heart at all.

Instead, Jimmy sat down beside Zhao Tuo with a big grin, stared at him with straight eyes, and said, "You are so powerful, how did you do it?" ”

Zhao Tuo gently plucked the bell on his waist, and the crisp bell reached Jimmy's ears, she seemed to be between heaven and earth, stepping on the winged eagle, soaring in the sky!

It took a while for Jimmy to wake up from his vision!

Zhao Tuo looked at Jimmy's surprised face and asked with a smile, "How does it feel, is it fun?" ”

Jimmy seemed to be still immersed in the environment just now, and said to Zhao Tuo happily: "It's amazing, can you teach me!" ”

Zhao Tuo grinned and said with a smile: "Call me a good brother, and I will teach you!" ”

Jimmy blushed instantly, pushed Zhao Tuo, and ran out amid the laughter of several people!

……

Ate a roasted whole lamb meal

Ashina Simo asked Zhao Tuo: "I don't know the master, how can we make our Turkic tribe live a good life?" ”

Zhao Tuo took a sip of goat's milk tea, although this thing is not very delicious, but it has a different flavor.

replied slowly: "Naturally, it is by trading with the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Ashina Simo thought for a while, and then asked: "It is really difficult for our grassland things to get enough salt, tea and other daily necessities from the Tang Dynasty merchants. ”

Zhao Tuo smiled and replied, "What do you exchange for?" ”

Ashnasimo replied: "Naturally, it is cattle and sheep!" ”

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said with a smile: "The wool on the grassland is the best warm item for Datang. ”

Ashina Simo was stunned after hearing this, although the wool is warm, it is dirty and dirty, even we grassland people should be thrown away as useless things, how could the merchants of the Tang Dynasty want this thing?

Zhao Tuo said: "That's because you didn't handle it well!" ”

"Go find some wool and I'll show you."

Ashnasimo immediately said: "There is a pile of useless wool piled up behind my tent. ”

Zhao Tuo followed Ashina Simo to check, and sure enough, there were piles of wool that no one wanted.

Zhao Tuo found some slightly cleaner ones to bring back to the tent.

The most critical issue in wool treatment is wool cleansing, which is to remove the grease from the wool. The most effective way to do this is to soak it in lime water!

Then it's time to pick and collect high-quality wool that removes grease and impurities!

Finally, there is the elastic hair, which is to loosen the washed and dried wool into a single fiber that separates the loose state with a bowstring, and removes impurities!

……

It took three days, Ashina Simo looked at the white wool in front of him, touched it with his hand, it was warm and smooth, and when he smelled it, there was no smell of sheep at all!

Zhao Tuo said: "Sew these wool inside the clothes, and it will definitely keep you warm in winter." ”

"You go find some captive Tang people, and let them spin these wool into wool threads, make wool cloth, wool sweaters!"

"You can definitely exchange enough supplies with the merchants from Datang."

Ashina Simo nodded in agreement, and immediately found someone to arrange it!

In just one month, a small wool processing workshop was carried out so smoothly!

Looking at the continuous production of wool products, Ashina Simo couldn't close his mouth with a smile!

Zhao Tuo said to Ashina Simo: "Do you have a candidate to trade with Datang?" ”

Ashina Simo nodded, patted his chest and said: "He is my sworn brother, Titima, who has been doing business with the Tang Dynasty and the grassland for more than ten years, and I guarantee that it will be no problem to hand it over to him!" ”

Zhao Tuo listened and continued: "Make more woolen cloth and woolen sweaters, after the merchants of the Tang Dynasty see such a warm weapon, they will definitely buy a large number of them, and they will definitely be in short supply." ”

"That way we'll be able to get enough supplies to survive the harsh winter!"

Ashina Simo smiled happily and said to Zhao Tuo, "Master, you are really a gift from the Palace of Eternal Life to our Turkic tribes. ”
