58. Green Market

"We also have fermented camel milk here, and the quantity of camel milk is smaller, usually called camel milk wine, and when the feast is coming, the host tries to give the guests a considerable amount of camel wine to show his sincerity to the guests. ”

Camel wine is a milky white and yellowish liquid liquid, which is left for a while, and fine sand and granular sediment will appear, so it is best to stir it well.

Drinking method and mare's milk wine is the same, camel milk is hot, rich in a variety of vitamins, lactic acid and active factors, 200 grams of camel milk wine, can make people hot, blood circulation quickly, emotional excitement, so camel milk wine is very food and stomach, anti-inflammatory and stasis, cold and heat, nourishing yin and kidneys, soothing tendons and regulating qi ingredients of nutritional products, especially for weak anemia, tuberculosis, pleurisy and various ulcers have a special health care effect.

"At the Kazakh feast, camel milk is very attractive, everyone likes to drink it, if you don't serve it, everyone will shout, urging the host to be sure to serve it, so that you can feel happy!"

"The whole body of the camel is a treasure, the camel is really our good friend, our nomads are really inseparable from the camel, the camel is a very thirsty, heat-resistant animal, in its body and even the fat must contain thirst-quenching, heat-relieving factors, so if we Kazakh people usually get a little hump oil, we must save it until the midsummer grass season and then use. ”

"We have a big temperature difference here, the summer is very hot, the winter is very cold, it's not easy to live in this climate, so we have to move a lot, where there is grassland to graze, we go, so you see we build yurts, the advantage is that it is simple and easy to build, you can dismantle it at any time and take it away. ”

"Unlike the high-rise buildings made of cement and steel in your Chinese cities, you have settled in one place for a long time and do not move, while we can't, stay in one place, either die of heat or freeze to death, cows, sheep, horses, camels all need to eat grass, there is no forage, these animals are difficult to survive, and they also need water, so we also have to find a place with a river nearby. ”

"Camel oil is a good thing, we are different from you, you live in a big city, if you are sick, you can go to the doctor and prescribe medicine, while we lack medicine here, and the herdsmen sometimes rely on some local methods to treat themselves. ”

"In the hot summer, the Kazakhs want to beat grass, and heat stroke is a common thing, so we put the refined camel oil into milk tea and drink, which can play a good role in relieving cough and heat. ”

"Milk gnocchi is concentrated and dried yogurt, which is one of the unique foods of the Kazakh people, and is eaten together with fresh milk ginseng. ”

In pastoral areas, herdsmen collect and ferment the milk of cows and sheep, filter it out with coarse cloth bags, cut it into pieces, and put it on a straw mat rack to dry, which can be stored for a long time and is not easy to spoil.

It is not only an emergency snack for the Kazakh people, a dry food for travel, a snack for guests, a gift for relatives and friends, but also a health medicine to prevent common diseases such as indigestion, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and inflammation of the esophagus.

Usually, as long as people have indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort, eat some milk bumps, that is, it does not hurt the stomach, and the pain can be quickly relieved or disappeared.

"There is also wheat porridge, sometimes drink some hot porridge, and the body will feel very comfortable!" Bayi said, "especially for us elderly, we have bad teeth, when we are old, our teeth will fall out, and we can't eat too hard food, so we will feel very comfortable when we drink some hot porridge." ”

Wheat porridge is made of milk and wheat grains, the method is to cook the wheat grains first, and then add milk and an appropriate amount of salty salt to cook for a while, now there are also rice or millet boiled, that is, through the nutrition of milk and the rolling impact of wheat grains to collide with the stomach wall and blood, stimulate blood circulation, help the heart work, in the heart discomfort, often drink wheat porridge, the function of the heart can be well recovered.

"We have a saying in Kazakh language that 'eat soup noodles in the morning and wheat porridge in the evening', which is very good for maintaining the body, easy to absorb, and does not increase the burden on the stomach, children and the elderly like to drink porridge, which is a must-have food for almost every family. ”

"We Kazakhs like to hold large and small gatherings in the evening, where people want to eat meat, everyone sits together, raises a bonfire, roasts whole sheep, everyone sits together and eats meat, the meat is too greasy, and the body will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much, so you should drink some hot porridge that is easy to digest to relieve the burden on the stomach. ”

Zhou Sen also drank a bowl of steaming wheat porridge, which he thought was delicious, and his stomach felt warm and very comfortable after drinking it.

"It's really delicious!"

Zhou Sen returned the empty bowl to Bayi, and Bayi smiled.

"If you like, I'll ask my family to prepare some more for you!"

"No need, thank you old man, I'm already full, if I eat again, I will be able to hold on!"

"Old man, do you have a market here, where do you usually buy things?"

"I'll take you to see our green market again, there are a lot of things there, but it's a distance away from us, Teacher Xu has a car, you can take Teacher Xu's car!"

"Okay, here Mr. Xu, you are the most familiar, you can be our guide, we are here for the first time to investigate, we are not familiar with the surrounding environment, if you don't give us a guide, maybe we will get lost!"

"Hahaha, okay, get in the car, I'll take you there!"

In order to let Zhou Sen better understand the green market, Xu Changming took them around outside, there are several different entrances, you can enter from each entrance, Xu Changming asked the driver to go around the green market, and then took Zhou Sen in.

"The Green Market, which is a large market with a Central Asian flavor, is divided into several areas, and the whole venue is a large square, divided into two floors, with several entrances, and it is easier for unfamiliar people to get lost. ”

"There are all kinds of goods here, and the bottom floor is mainly selling food materials such as vegetables and fruits, spices, dry goods, and meat. ”

"The upper floor of the square is mainly used for daily necessities, such as clothes, daily tools, jewelry, etc., and the main goods are from Russia, China and Turkey. ”

"There are so many varieties of fruit here, it's cheap, and it tastes so good, I can't help but buy some every time I pass by a fruit stall, and it's a waste to come here and not eat fruit," Bayi said. ”

"Teacher Xu, reporter Zhou, you pick and choose, see which fruits you like, you can buy some back, the quality of the fruits here is still very good, there are many varieties, different kinds of watermelon and cantaloupe, I especially recommend our local cantaloupe here, cantaloupe is big and sweet, really delicious, I know you eat more watermelon, if you don't live in a city in northern China, rarely eat cantaloupe, I suggest you buy some cantaloupe back. ”
