Chapter 103: Turkmenistan Cuisine

Professor Amis asked Zhou Sen, "How was your meal on the plane?"

Zhou Sen said: "The flight meals are very rich, in addition to providing meat stuffed rice with Central Asian characteristics, it is also accompanied by fruits, cheeses, sausages, and even the sauce packets have tomato, egg yolk, mustard, almond and other flavors, which is still very good." ”

Professor Amis nodded, "Yes, the airline's service is still very good, but there are fewer meals on the plane, generally after getting off the plane, you have to eat something, I will take you to the restaurant to eat something first, try our food here, and after everyone eats good things, I will arrange accommodation for everyone, I want to put the luggage away, and then we will plan the rest of the trip." ”

"Okay, thank you, Professor Amis!"

Originally, Zhou Sen didn't know about this neighboring country, thinking that this country was very backward, but he didn't expect to come here, and see that the surrounding building facades are almost all made of white marble, neat, solemn and majestic, it is said that the buildings here like to use white marble, which has become a major feature of this country, which has been entered into the Guinness Book of World Records.

There are also hotels, shopping malls, restaurants and modern skyscrapers, which are not as poor and backward as Zhou Sen imagined.

It is not difficult to find a clean and hygienic restaurant to eat.

After discussing with Zhou Sen, Professor Amiss found a restaurant opened by a local, the chef of this restaurant is very famous, very popular with tourists, and has a good reputation, Professor Amis introduced to Zhou Sen, and said to Zhou Sen and the interview team with a smile: "When you come to us, you have to eat local food to reflect our characteristics, and if I go to China, you will take me to eat Chinese food." ”

"Chinese food is very famous all over the world, I have eaten Chinese food, there are many types of Chinese food, you Chinese advocate food, people take food as the sky, from this sentence you can see people's love for food, we people here also like food, after all, no one can resist delicious food, eat a full stomach, in order to have the strength to work." ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed at the words of Professor Amis, who was humorous and spoke bluntly with the enthusiasm of a Turkmenistan.

He is a good friend of Professor Zhang, and Professor Zhang contacted Professor Amisi to pick up the plane, which made Zhou Sen's interview trip to Turkmenistan very smooth.

Turkmenistan cuisine is similar to that of other countries in Central Asia, where pilaf is prepared daily or on festivals, consisting of large pieces of lamb, carrots, rice, etc., in an iron pot.

Professor Amis told Zhou Sen that this pilaf originated in Tajikistan and has a variety of pies and baked buns, which are popular with travelers and taxi drivers because they are easy to carry and can be taken away and eaten while walking.

Turkmenistan's traditional foods include barbecued meat, pilaf, naan, rotisserie, fried dumplings and steamed buns, pepper, onions, fennel, mint, which constitute the most characteristic condiments of Turkmenistan.

The locals here like to cook food with a lot of cottonseed oil, and there are many common kebabs, lamb skewers, chicken skewers, and fish skewers, especially when the waiter brings a full pot of kebabs and grilled lamb chops, Zhou Sen has already smelled the fragrance, and his stomach began to "gurgle".

Professor Amis smiled, "I guess everyone is already hungry, and the meals on the plane are not enough, so you're welcome, let's talk while eating, and I also ordered a lot of dishes, and they will serve them one after another, if it's not enough, I'll order it again." ”

Professor Amis greeted everyone warmly, Zhou Sen took a skewer of mutton, took a bite, and the aroma of mutton immediately came to his nose.

"It's really delicious, fragrant and tender!"

"If you like to eat, just eat more, if it's not enough, I can order more!"

There are also several dishes, Russian delicacies such as dumplings, various mayonnaise salads, etc., and some Uyghur staple foods can also be found.

After eating, Professor Amis arranged for everyone to go to the hotel, the hotel had already been booked, the room number was assigned, the environment of the hotel was still very good, Professor Amis received Zhou Sen, or made preparations in advance, and could see the sincerity.

"Hello everyone, put the luggage, we are much more relaxed, today everyone is tired, first rest for one night, tomorrow I will arrange the itinerary, take everyone out for a walk, see our cityscape here." ”

"Okay!" Zhou Sen thanked him, he returned to the hotel room, he did feel a little tired, went to the bathroom to wash up, took a bath, felt relaxed, and thought that it had been a long time since he called home to report his safety.

I took out my mobile phone and made a call home.

The phone was quickly connected, and it was Zhou Sen's wife, Liu Yuqin, who answered the phone.

"Yuqin, how are you at home?"

"Well, the family is fine, nothing is wrong, don't worry, the parents and children are fine, you don't have to worry about them, where are you now?"

"I am now in Turkmenistan, and Professor Zhang has assigned me the important task of covering the five Central Asian countries, and the interview task must be completed. ”

"Oh, husband, you have worked hard, the program you interviewed before has been broadcast on domestic TV, my parents and I have watched it, husband, the program you filmed is amazing, the 'Belt and Road' is amazing!"

Listening to his wife's praise, Zhou Sen's heart was warm, and it was really important for Zhou Sen to get the understanding and support of his family.

"Are your parents okay?"

"It's okay, they're older, I have to go to work, I have to take care of the elderly, and I have to take care of the children. ”

"Wife, you have worked hard, I am busy working outside all the year round, and I have no skills, and the family depends on you to take care of it, I want to thank you, my parents have high blood pressure, my father's feet still have edema, I bought them blood pressure medicine, put it in the drawer at home, I also bought a plaster for my father, you have to tell him to stick, the sticker is always good!"

"Okay, I know, I will tell the old man to take medicine on time, these are geriatric diseases, people will have such diseases when they are old, they need to be slowly adjusted, and they can't be in a hurry. ”

"Yes, high blood pressure, you have to pay attention to the diet for the elderly to be light, don't add too much salt, let them do exercise, I see a lot of elderly people in the park go out to do tai chi in the morning, it's good, don't let them do too heavy work at home, if you can't be busy, we can spend money to hire a nanny, let the nanny help do some housework. ”

Liu Yuqin said: "I don't need to ask a nanny for the time being, I can stand up alone, I don't like nannies, many things at home if you hand over to the nanny is not at ease, the nanny is an outsider after all, I am at work, in case the nanny causes any trouble, steals things at home, or abuses the elderly, I don't know, I can't come back, the children are all old people to help pick up, I don't worry about letting the nanny pick up the child." ”

"Okay, wife, then it's hard for you!"

"Husband, you work hard outside, don't worry about us, everything is fine at home, we are all waiting for you to come home!"

Zhou Sen was very moved, he has a warm home, parents, wife, children, his family cares about him, can understand his work, has the support of his family, he can also concentrate on being a reporter, complete the interview task, after talking to his wife on the phone, he leaned on the bed alone, looking at the night scene outside the window, his heart was full of emotion.
