At noon, the tour group went back to the North Ruts Resort for dinner, and Shi Tao's first task after getting off the bus was to quickly find the vase.

After asking the chef, Shi Tao found three wide-mouth canned food bottles under the wall of the back kitchen, took them back to the room, washed them, and handed them to Shang Mei and others. The three women happily poured water and arranged flowers on the table in the room.

Not to mention, a bouquet of flowers in the house not only decorates the scenery of the room, but also makes the house full of a faint fragrance of flowers, which will naturally feel refreshing and pleasant when you take a deep breath.

The safflower is delicate and delicate, and it seems that the aroma is stronger. Yang Qiong's yellow flowers are more elegant, dignified and neat. And Chen Qian's variety of flowers and colors are put together, more like a group of flowers, although there are fewer flowers, but they are also naturally generous.

After admiring the flowers in the vase, the four of them hurried to the restaurant for dinner.

After a meal, people take a break at about two o'clock with the bus to visit the herdsmen's residential areas to understand the local customs, in fact, to see the herdsmen's life.

The pastoral area here is designed and custom-made for tourists in order to accommodate commercial operations.

After everyone got out of the car, three groups of five moved freely. Shi Tao led the three women to also walk and watch with the flow of people.

There were cheers from the front, and a group of people gathered together, as if someone was performing inside. Shi Tao and others came to watch, and it turned out that two men were performing wrestling.

The two men, both of whom were strong, dark-skinned, dressed in wrestling clothing and wearing wide belts, were battling in the ring. The four leather boots made the ground dusty, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people around to watch, and from time to time there were cheers.

The two wrestlers are evenly matched, just like the tiger on the mountain meets the tiger on the mountain, and the dragon on the sea meets the dragon on the sea, each with its own advance and retreat, and does not give in to each other. The two held each other for nearly half an hour and still didn't decide the winner, and the people who applauded were a little tired, and they didn't stop.

Shi Tao speculated that this could be an athletic performance, in order to let visitors feast their eyes and experience the charm of wrestling. Shang Mei didn't look interesting, and begged Shi Tao to go to the front to see something else.

The four of them came to a white felt bag, and saw that a few colleagues had just come out of it, saying that it was good to sit inside and experience the life of herdsmen.

When I entered the felt bag, it looked like a large round room, and except for the light that poured in from the roof, the other furnishings were the same as in the room.

The hostess here is very hospitable, first let Shi Tao and others sit, and then invite them to taste tea, there are several kinds of milk tea, brick tea, and butter tea.

Driven by Shi Tao, several people tasted it one after another.

Shang Mei has learned the lesson of drinking mare's milk last time, and will never take a big sip rashly again, and also learns to take a small sip like Yang Qiong and taste it first, feeling that the taste is okay and can be drunk slowly and carefully.

When Yang Qiong and Chen Qian taste tea, they are more ladylike, as delicate as delicate flowers shining on water.

I did all kinds of tea and stone Tao one by one, no matter what the taste was, I finally experienced it.

After tasting the tea, the hostess took out the mare's milk wine, as well as some other local specialty wines, and poured them in a small cup for Shi Tao and others to taste.

Fortunately, several people drank alcohol, so they didn't refuse. Shi Tao took a sip and felt a little spicy, thinking that it was made by herdsmen themselves, but after inquiring, he learned that there was a winery nearby.

Shi Tao felt that the taste of this wine was completely different from the taste of Chen Qian's hometown. The wine in Chen Qian's hometown tastes softer and mellower, while the wine here is stronger, but the stamina of the wine should be comparable, and you will get drunk if you drink too much.

After tasting the wine, the hostess took out the cheese again, and was more interested in these three women than Shi Tao, and she was full of praise when she ate it.

For Shi Tao's so-called understanding of the customs and customs, it is just a feast and a mouthful.

Before leaving, Shi Tao paid the relevant expenses and brought two bottles of mare's milk wine, saying that he was going back to drink. But the three women shook their heads and said they wouldn't drink. Shi Tao later took it home as a souvenir.

Because the afternoon is late, there are not many places for people to play. Soon the sun was about to set, and when everyone gathered on the bus, Sister Zhang told everyone that they were going to eat roast whole sheep tonight, and there was a bonfire dance, and suddenly everyone cheered.

Back at the resort, as soon as I entered the yard, I saw that the chef had already set up a rack and started roasting the sheep.

After getting off the bus, someone came to see how the chef roasted the sheep without taking care of washing.

Shi Tao and the four of them went back to the room first, put away their belongings, and then went to the courtyard to watch the chef perform after washing.

The whole sheep is spread out on an iron grate, and the cook turns it around on an iron shelf.

The whole white sheep had been roasted to black and red, and the fat dripped down and fell into the charcoal fire below, causing the flames to suddenly rise and go.

From time to time, the chef sprinkles condiments on the mutton, which is said to make the mutton taste easier and more delicious.

After a short time, the chef began to peel the meat with great skill, and the small sharp knife flew up and down, and soon a plate of thin slices of meat was peeled.

The chef then proceeds to sprinkle the roast lamb with condiments, and when the meat is cooked, the chef peels it.

This is repeated until the whole sheep is left with a skeleton.

When the waiter brings the lamb to the restaurant, it means that dinner has officially begun. Sitting around the table, the topic of tonight's discussion is, of course, roasting whole sheep.

Shi Tao put a slice of mutton in his mouth and chewed it, the meat taste is still quite fragrant, but it is harder, and the barbecue meat will not be as soft as fried in the pot.

After all, it is peeled off from the whole sheep, and the degree of softness and hardness is not easy to control, and there must be some places that are hard, and some places will be softer, but it is very chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.

Shang Mei and others also tasted it, Shang Mei said it was like eating beef jerky, Yang Qiong said she wanted to eat roast duck, Chen Qian said it was like lamb skewers, and Shi Tao said it was like eating roast whole sheep. The crowd laughed.

Where there is meat, there is wine.

Tonight may be the reason for eating roast lamb, the number of people drinking more than before, maybe they bought mare's milk wine outside like Shi Tao, and tasted the roast mutton.

When Shi Tao also suggested drinking some mare's milk wine, the three women shook their heads and said that they would not drink anything.

Shi Tao had no choice but to take a bottle of ordinary liquor and pour a glass for each person. Under Shi Tao's persuasion, the three of them finally agreed to have a drink, but they would never drink a second drink.

Maybe it's a woman's reserve, in front of so many people, no one is willing to let go of the amount to drink, thinking of this, Shi Tao was relieved.

A plate of mutton per table is actually not enough to eat, people just taste the so-called roasted whole lamb, which is considered to have been eaten, and it still depends on other dishes to satisfy hunger.

When the mutton was eaten and it was learned that there was no more, people's high mood suddenly dropped, and they all faded out of the discussion of roasting the whole lamb, and gradually focused on filling their stomachs and filling their hunger, of course, the high-spirited drinking continued.

After eating, Sister Zhang asked everyone to go back to the room to rest first, and everyone participated in the bonfire dance party in the evening.

Back in the room, Shi Tao lay on the bed, looking for a TV channel.

Shang Mei saw that Shi Tao didn't go to Yang Qiong and them, and felt a little abnormal.

"It's rare, why don't you go to them?"

"It's strange, you're not happy to look for them, I won't look for them, do you still have an opinion?" Shi Tao asked Shang Mei rhetorically.

"No opinion, no opinion, you have a good rest, I'll go fetch water for you, okay?" Shang Mei immediately changed her smiling face, picked up the kettle and walked out, in fact, there was still half a pot of water in the kettle, and she didn't pay attention.

Shi Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart, there will be a bonfire dance party in a while, I am a little tired at this time, lie on the bed and rest for a while, this can arouse Shang Mei's suspicions, I am really convinced.

Shi Tao felt that Shang Mei had become much more sensitive than before, her sensitivity was only aimed at Shi Tao, and she didn't seem to care much about Yang Qiong and Chen Qian.

What she cares about is Shi Tao's attitude towards her, not other women's attitudes towards Shi Tao.

An hour later, I heard the bustle in the corridor, and after a nap, people were pouring into the courtyard, and the bonfire dance began.

Shi Tao turned over and sat up from the bed, drank a cup of warm water that Shang Mei had cooled for him, and called Shang Mei just about to go out, Chen Qian had already knocked on the door to call them.

"The prom is on, let's go. ”

A blazing bonfire was lit in the courtyard, and the red flames were more than a man high, and as the heat rose, red sparks were scattered, and a wisp of green smoke rushed into the sky, and those who were close to the fire would feel a heavy heat wave.

Even though it's summer, the nights are still very cool, and today is a cloudy day to make it even colder. If there weren't campfires, people might not have been outside at all.

Some people brought chairs from the dining room and set up a large circle around the campfire, some people were already seated, and most people were still standing.

The bonfire was already blazing. The electric lights on the three walls of the courtyard suddenly went out, and the blazing bonfire was the only source of light in the courtyard, and the red flames reflected the people around them also turned red.

Sister Zhang stood up and introduced to everyone that roasting whole sheep is a local food culture, and bonfire dance is also a local custom. Everyone is welcome to sing and dance and have fun.

Under the persuasion of Sister Zhang, people twisted and stood up and held hands in a circle.

Sister Zhang cleared her throat and sang local folk songs to mobilize people's enthusiasm for participation.

Everyone also danced to the rhythm of Sister Zhang's singing.

The dancers rotated rhythmically around the campfire, and those outside the circle also high-fived to the rhythm.

Shang Mei and the other three joined in the dance, and Shi Tao sat on a chair on the periphery and quietly admired.

He found that in terms of dance skills, Chen Qian danced the best, Yang Qiong was average, and Shang Mei often stepped on the wrong rhythm.

Shi Tao thought to himself, or the two of us would become a family, and we have something in common, all of which are not correct in five tones and six rhythms, and we can't step on the drum.

Cheerful singing resounded in the sky, graceful dancing walked across the land, bonfires reflected the reveling crowds, and the long night enveloped all living beings.

When the bonfire was about to go out, the lights in the courtyard came on and the dance ended.
