The Princess of Northern Land

Qiaoqiao and others carried away the water used for washing, and Hong Ying and Lun Luo came in carrying tea trays. Within the teacups on the tray, steam was rising vigorously, the tea in each cup did not resemble plain water, the air was filled with a strong scent of beans.

Also, there were recognizable coarse objects within some cups, carrying a milky fragrance.

"Please have a taste," Lin Ziyin gestured invitingly. The merchants did not hesitate and each picked up two different cups and placed them before their eyes. Yu Shao’en and others immediately brought in some light refreshments.

"This cup contains soy milk powder. The main ingredient is the famous soybeans from our Northern Land. It is supplemented with sugar, water, and milk. The advantage of ancient times is that there were no complicated additives. All foods carried a natural aroma."

The strong smell of beans quickly won over everyone present.

"The second one is oatmeal. However, it’s a bit embarrassing to mention that due to the limited production of oats, we might have a rather limited supply for now. Apart from soy milk and oatmeal, we will also gradually provide black sesame paste and walnut powder in the future. I hope we can all prosper together." Lin Ziyin looked at the merchants with a cunning smile.

"What about the milk? How come there’s no goat-like smell?" Someone curiously examined the cup in his hand. "It seems like there’s a milky scent in the pastries as well?"

"Yes, along with these drinks for export, we will also provide accompanying meals such as milky bread rolls, egg yolk pies, and various types of cookies. These are the golden combinations for soy milk." Lin Ziyin spoke in a teasing tone, which immediately lightened the atmosphere in the room.

"Do these foods also require grain mortgages?" A bearded man asked in worry.
