786 Cow urine shampooing
The food of the Mundari people is very simple, the patriarch brought a black lacquered iron bucket and an iron plate, and his two children lit dried cow dung as fuel, which is the same principle as the yak dung used by Tibetans in the highlands of the country.
It can also be said that the status of the longhorn cow in the hearts of the people of Mundari is equivalent to the status of the yak in the hearts of the Tibetan people, and the whole body is a treasure.
The patriarch poured the ground corn flour into the iron bucket, got up and walked to the two big trees at the edge of the herd, and Liu Wei followed.
The patriarch scooped up half a pot of water from the canopy and began to knead the dough with his hands.
In the savannah, water is a very expensive commodity, and the Mundari people use the canopy of trees to store rainwater for daily life.
Liu Wei still chatted with the patriarch with a smile on his face, if it weren't for the blessing of the digestive medicine provided by the system, he would have to consider the hygiene of this meal.
The patriarch put the kneaded dough on the red-hot iron plate one by one, and then patted it flat with the palm of his hand, and after a few minutes of baking, the most important food in the life of the Mundari people, the tortilla, was completed.
The patriarch handed the first baked tortilla to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei didn't pay close attention to the tortillas, and fed them directly to his mouth.
The patriarch looked at Liu Wei with a smile on his face expectantly, Liu Wei chewed and nodded, "Hmm~, there is a faint sweetness and fragrance!"
The patriarch was very pleased to receive the satisfactory comments from the guests, and continued his superb cooking skills, sprinkling some sesame seeds and chili noodles on the corn tortillas in the back, and his two children ate them with relish.
Liu Wei was curious: "Haven't your two children started a family yet?"
The patriarch nodded: "It takes twelve cows to find a woman, and after the cow gives birth, then go and find a woman for their brothers!"
Liu Wei nodded, based on the local economic conditions, twelve longhorn cows as a bride price is indeed quite expensive, and it is estimated that many clansmen will not be able to marry their daughters-in-law.
"Are there many single men in the tribe?" asked Liu Wei.
The patriarch nodded: "A lot, they are willing to guard their herd, in their consciousness, longhorns seem to be more important than women!"
"Hey~"
Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that the situation of not being able to marry a daughter-in-law because of the bride price is not only happening in China, but also in backward Africa.
After eating.
It's already dark.
The patriarch took his two sons to patrol the herd, and Liu Wei followed.
The patriarch went out of his way to meet several Mundari warriors guarding the perimeter of the herd, two of whom had AK47 rifles in their hands and others with spears in their hands.
The patriarch introduced: "They are responsible for keeping vigil tonight to prevent people from other tribes from stealing cattle!"
Liu Wei asked, "Has there ever been a conflict?"
The patriarch nodded, pointing to a clansman with an AK47 rifle with a lot of stab wounds on his back, "It's the bravest warrior in the tribe!"
In their minds, it is a very honorable thing to have a knife wound on their body, and it is they who protect their herd.
The patriarch also said, "He has killed people!"
Liu Wei was shocked when he heard this, pointed to the AK rifle in his hand and asked, "Did you kill with a gun?"
The Mundari warrior nodded, "Kill three!"
With a smile on his face and a lot of pride.
On the way back from inspecting the herd, Liu Wei asked the patriarch, "Have you ever thought about resolving tribal conflicts peacefully?"
The patriarch nodded: "Of course, in the eyes of the older generation, war is a very extreme way to defend, every year there are clansmen who die in wars, and since our tribe became the patriarch, more than 20 young people have died.
I don't want that to happen again.
But Liu Wei, the herd is our life, and when they think about the herd, they must step over our bodies.
The young people of the tribe have a strong desire to fight, and they need to rely on battle to protect the tribe!"
Sounds a little chilling.
But on the vast continent of Africa, such tribal-tribal conflicts have been going on for hundreds or even millennia.
"You can sit down and negotiate peacefully!", Liu Wei felt that his proposal was a bit presumptuous, and added, "I hope my proposal does not offend you!"
The patriarch didn't care, and said with a smile: "I talked about it, seven years ago, the two tribes talked once, and it only lasted for two years, but you know, Liu Wei, there is a shortage of materials on the grassland, we all rely on planting and grazing to make a living, even if they don't care about our cattle, they will start a war to grab water and grassland!"
The actual situation seems to be far more complicated than Liu Wei thought in his heart.
The patriarch looked at Liu Wei's somewhat worried expression, took his hand and walked to the edge of the stake, and said gently, "You don't have to worry, Liu Wei, you are our most honored guest, we will protect your safety!"
Liu Wei shook his head and said, "I can't think of a way to help you!"
The patriarch smiled slightly, and did not answer, the tribal conflict over the years was not so easy to solve!
He reached out and held the freshly burned cow dung in his hand, rubbed his hands together, and then applied it to Liu Wei's face and shoulders.
Liu Wei asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
The patriarch explained: "Cow dung ash can prevent mosquito bites, there are more mosquitoes in the tribe at night, we are used to it, your body is easy to be worried about mosquitoes!"
"Thank you!"
After the patriarch helped Liu Wei finish smearing, he instructed, "Rest!"
Liu Wei turned off the live broadcast and lay down on the board.
The savannah had just ushered in daylight, and the sun was already very dazzling, Liu Wei, who was sleeping in the open air, felt uncomfortable and opened his eyes, and at this time, the entire Mundari tribe began to operate as usual.
The tribesmen walked to their cattle pens with the forage they had cut from afar in their hands and fed the longhorns.
With a smile on his face.
It looks very happy.
After feeding the cows, they sat on the ground in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
The patriarch came back from his inspection and walked up to Liu Wei, "Have you washed your face?"
Liu Wei shook his head.
He reached out and took Liu Wei's arm and walked behind the bull's buttocks, and then patted the bull's buttocks.
"Zi~"
The bull soaked in urine and ejaculated.
The patriarch stretched his head over, rubbed his face and hair with his hands, and washed them together.
Liu Wei looked stupid!
He had heard that some tribes in the African savannah did not bathe or wash their faces for a year because of lack of water, but today was the first time he had seen people washing their hair and face with cow urine.
After the patriarch finished scrubbing, he said to Liu Wei with a smile: "The urine of longhorn cows has a sterilizing effect, and it can also make the hair yellow, you look at them, they wash their hair with cow urine every day!"
Liu Wei glanced in the direction of the patriarch's finger, in the corner of the tribe, there were many naked children standing behind the bull, washing their hair with cow urine, their hair was yellow, and under the sun, it was a little reflective, all of them were spiritual young men.
But......
Liu Wei was very resistant in his heart.
Thinking of the patriarch's enthusiasm and the hospitality of the Mundari people, Liu Wei could hardly refuse, so he could only bend down.
Close your eyes and mouth tightly!
The patriarch smiled and patted the cow's buttocks.
Multiply~
Cow urine hit his head like a stream of running water.
He reached out and rubbed it vigorously.
The taste is great.
But there is a cool feeling after washing.
The chubby who was standing on the side stared at the strange behavior of the master and looked stupid, and couldn't help but look back at his crotch!
