Chapter 352: Dunba Ruzha, the Ancient City of Pansong
When I arrived at the ancient city of Pansong, it was already dark, and just after entering the city, Aoki met Dunba Ruzha who came to pick up his people, and at this time Dunba Ruzha was already like the clothes he saw many years ago, but authentic Tibetan clothes, which looked gorgeous.
Aoki hugged him, and Dunba Ruzha put a white hada around his neck and said Tashi Delek! Tashi Delek means welcome, auspicious in Tibetan, and then he offered hada to the others.
After hugging, Dunbaruza led a few people to a house full of Tibetan characteristics, and there were already many Tibetan people sitting in the house.
After Dunbaruzha's introduction, there are a few of his hair children, and a few are teachers from local Tibetan schools, everyone is very enthusiastic after entering, first Dunbaruza actually took out a silver pot, and then took a few small bowls, one of which has something similar to small dough, he kneaded it a few times in the small bowl with his hand, and then put a piece of each small bowl.
After picking up the silver pot and pouring a bowl of milk into each small bowl, after being introduced, everyone knew that this was the legendary butter tea, and the small dough-like thing just now was ghee.
Butter tea is a special drink in Tibet, mainly made of ghee, yak milk plus strong tea and salt, which has the effect of keeping out the cold and refreshing the brain, and quenching thirst.
To be honest, this series of operations doesn't look very clean, but Aoki still washed and drank it with respect for the place, Ye Wenzhong also drank it, Long Fan, Shen Quan, Sheng Liangpeng also drank it, and the gay men were okay, and everyone was not particularly particular about people.
But Su Wanyu and the others may be because of the high reaction, they are dizzy, and they have no appetite, and they all shook their heads and said that they would not drink.
In Mandarin with a Tibetan accent, Dunbaruza said, "Butter tea can relieve your altitude sickness." ”
In this way, a few ladies drank it, and there is a unique food in Tibet, which is translated as the meaning of fried noodles, which is actually a kind of cake made of milk and barley, first of all, it is easy to eat, and second, it is nutritious and high in calories, which is very suitable for hunger and cold, and is also easy to carry and store.
Aoki and others also tasted it, and it can't be said to be particularly delicious, probably related to food customs.
At this time, Aoki discovered that the bowls used by Dunbaruza were different from those of others, the others were ordinary ceramic Xiaowan, and Dunbaruzha's bowls and pots were quaint silver bowls.
"Because he is the master of his house, and all people today are his guests, and as the master of the family, he used a silver bowl, which was passed down to him by his father when he got married." ”
Talking about the crowd chatting again, most of them were some customs and habits, as well as noisy family routines, Dunbaruza said that in order to welcome their arrival today, he specially killed a yak and made a yak banquet to welcome them, and after speaking, he also took a piece similar to jerky.
This is dried yak, the yak reminds the huge, Tibetans have a happy event every year in winter or at home, the yak will be slaughtered at the time of the funeral, and the meat that is not eaten will be made into dried yak, this kind of jerky is directly hung on the kitchen or living room beam, naturally air-dried, only 3 taels after a pound of yak meat is air-dried.
Dunbaruza took out a Tibetan knife inlaid with various gems, cut the dried yak into small pieces, and handed it to everyone, not only Aoki and others, but also other Tibetans who came to visit.
When a Tibetan family adds a new man, the Tibetan family will find a craftsman to make a Tibetan knife, and then keep it, and when the man becomes an adult, the elders of the family will hand over the Tibetan knife to him to prove that he is an adult.
Then this knife will accompany this person for a lifetime, Tibetan knife and dried yak have another meaning, but now life is better, and the people in Tibetan areas have also received great care from the state, and gradually become a symbol.
In the past, Tibetans would take yaks to nomadic herding, because winter ice and snow will cover the land, green grass, Tibetans will follow the yak to migrate, the migration is very cold, and the food is relatively small, so Tibetans will carry tsamba, yak meat, and yak milk from local materials, these are high-calorie food, and at the same time in Tibetan grazing will encounter some wild beasts, so adult men will have a Tibetan knife to defend themselves.
It was their first day in Tibet, and it was a day that benefited each of them a lot, as if they had come to another world, and now there are locals who are familiar with Tibetan areas to introduce them to local attractions, so that Aoki once again has entered a lot with this paradise.
Then dinner began, wonton yak meat, small mountain boar, delicious not good, so that everyone was feasting.
Maybe because of the butter tea that I had drunk, everyone had a lot less altitude sickness, and everyone played in the living room after eating.
The Tibetan people themselves can sing and dance, and several of them have also come up with a lot of local musical instruments, such as zha Mu Nian, dulcimer, genka, huqin, and even a bone flute polished with yak bones.
I have to say that it is very distinctive, the unique geography and the scenery that the Tibetans come into contact with every day make their long tune have a special different feeling, which is not ethereal but very shocking to everyone's hearts.
Of course, Aoki was no exception to join in, and after Dunbaruza taught him twice, Aoki was able to hum that unique long tune, but it was still a little bit less delicious, but it also made many local people at the scene give him a thumbs up.
About 2 hours, the time was already late at night, everyone was already tired, under the introduction of Dunbaruzha, everyone went to a local homestay, open the door has no other meaning, which is very rare in Tibetan areas, and there is even an electric blanket on the bed.
Although it is summer, in the Tibetan area of Pansong, the temperature has been very low, especially at night, this often appears in the wonders, Aoki and others are wearing jackets in the morning, at noon and in the afternoon they wear short-sleeved jackets, and at night they are jackets.
This had to remind him of a proverb, it was rumored that the cotton jacket was worn in the morning and the watermelon was eaten around the stove at noon.
Due to the large number of people, everyone simply chartered this homestay, everyone is tired for a day, especially the four driving, but Aoki did not sleep, just now the music of the Tibetans gave him a lot of inspiration, which made him not sleepy and ready to write it down first.
