Chapter 393: The Wind Blows the Grass and Sees the Cattle and Sheep

The first time I went to Inner Mongolia, the first reaction in my mind was to eat meat and drink a lot, because reading poetry was the sky was vast, and the wind blew the grass and saw the cattle and sheep.

As soon as I landed in Hohhot, I began to add clothes and change snow boots, and the north was much colder than the south. The first meal is the traditional shabu-shabu, and the name of the restaurant is Erdun, which means "Chinese baby". It is often said that Japanese food requires natural color, delicious taste, diverse shapes, and excellent utensils. I didn't expect that the traditional shabu-shabu here is not inferior.

The pot of a hot pot alone is eye-catching, and the yurt-like shell made of cloisonné is designed to be both beautiful and intimate, and the bulging part in the middle is to protect from being burned. The sauce on the side is full of color and flavor, and it is like a work of art.

The serving of mutton and beef is also very elegant, and the key is to use the bottom of the clear soup pot to retain the original flavor of the ingredients, which is not quite the same as the hot Sichuan Chongqing hot pot. Surprisingly, even though the clear soup didn't taste like mutton, I found out that it was due to the exquisite ingredients.

The rich vegetation and unpolluted natural environment of Xilin Gol grassland create two kinds of delicious mutton, these sheep eat more than 400 kinds of medicinal plants such as shallots, alfalfa, etc., and drink the deep groundwater comparable to mineral water, natural stocking, natural maturity, so the Wuzhumuqin sheep and Sunit sheep of Xilin Gol grassland have become the inevitable choice of Erdun, and can only be slaughtered and processed after July to November every year, which has never changed since ancient times.

The side dishes are quite northern and the portions are full of food. The most surprising thing is their secret yogurt, which comes in two flavors. In particular, osmanthus lotus seeds have the fragrance of flowers, which are very fragrant and smooth in the dry weather of the north.

There is a special Anda to entertain everyone, Anda, which is used by the Mongols to refer to those who are not related by blood, and the friendship of life and death formed by oaths. Nowadays it is often used to express love as brothers. SC Johnson likes to eat like this, listening to the stories of the locals, and many times the travel is too rushed to have much time to touch, and there are many interesting things to learn from them.

The little wheat here is famous far and wide, and the original writing of the word slightly wheat is slightly beautiful, following the writing method of the Ming Dynasty. Now it is also called siu mai. It and the traditional dishes of Inner Mongolia, steamed mutton, grilled pork strips and barbecue, have been selected and preserved from tens of thousands of dishes in the development process of Maixiang Village in the past 80 years, which can be described as the best in the cuisine.

When the hot slightly beautiful and milk tea fill the table, there is only amazement. It is said that only love and food cannot be disappointed. It's so hearty early in the morning, and I really feel a sense of happiness.

The light skin shines through, and when it comes out of the steamer, it smells fragrant and hot. Some people also say that because the folds of the roasted wheat edges in Guihua City are neat and clear, they resemble white flowers, the beauty production process is unique, the materials are excellent, the skin is fine and thin, the mutton filling is moderately fat and thin, and the condiments such as green onion and ginger are complete.

Traditionally, lamb is served with green onions and ginger filling. Slightly beautiful out of the cage, overflowing with fresh fragrance. Looking at its shape, I saw that the skin was as thin as a cicada's wings, crystal clear, lifted with chopsticks and hung down like a thin sac, and placed on a plate like a small cake. It tastes fragrant but not greasy. It can be described as a delicious meal, beautiful in shape and strong in flavor. There are rich varieties, mutton, beef, vegetarian, etc., and there are fat and thin ones to pick.

If you don't come to Hasuhai the next day, the yurt is still just a vague impression in your mind, and you will find that the luxurious yurt is completely beyond imagination. Maybe that's the beauty of travel, you have to go out and discover the real world.

The real excitement is the Horse Banquet here. Trick horse, Mongolian refers to the whole animal that has lost its hair, which means that after slaughtering cattle and sheep livestock, it is dehaired with hot water, the internal organs are removed, and the banquet is roasted or boiled.

It began in the Yuan Dynasty. This quaint folk custom of eating whole cattle and sheep was developed from the Holy Lord Noyan Bingzheng to a luxurious court banquet. Once lost, it is now the result of experiments and experiments through a large number of materials such as "Mongolian Recipes" and "Mongolian Customs" to restore the roasted whole cow and horse feast.

Everyone changes into a grandson costume every year by the craftsman, the emperor awarded, a day to change, the color is the same. The dishes are mainly sheep, and a lot of wine is used. Therefore, when attending the banquet, everyone will change into yellow clothes. In the middle is a performer, so the costume is different.

There will be singing and dancing performances during the feast, and at each interval, a Mongolian girl will toast with an antelope horn cup. Quite enthusiastic, this wine is also a genuine liquor, after a few rounds of drinking, it is not enough to drink.

Mongolian dumplings, butter pastry, Uzhimo, Chagan Huzhida, Daigo, milk sticks, fried rice, white oil, butter. Hand fresh: four fresh fruits (peaches, rock sugar plums, grapes, small apples), hometown love four vegetarian plates, hometown love cold food platter, roasted whole sheep, five animal soup, willow steamed sheep......

SC Johnson just wants to say: can't stop!

In late autumn, the grass on the grassland has turned yellow, and the wind is blowing colder and colder. The herdsmen on the Xilamuren grassland drive their sheep, and the yurts here do not have the radiators of Hasuhai, but they are warm because of the warm hospitality of the herdsmen's family.

It is said that the Mongolian people can sing and dance, and the old grandmother gently hummed during the banquet is the voice of the vast grassland that is as open as the grassland, tactful and charming. They don't speak Mandarin well, but we can see the simplicity and simplicity of their hearts.

The old grandmother is seventy years old, and she does not have a single gray hair on her head. She said she was embarrassed to laugh because she didn't look good without teeth. But when we were entertained, the most genuine smile was fixed in our minds. SC Johnson doesn't know what he will be like, but he wants to live like she is, optimistic, cheerful, simple and happy.

Naadam is a Mongolian word meaning game and entertainment, and is often used to express good harvest and joy. Catching up with the annual tourism festival, the changing music fluttered in the sky of Inner Mongolia for a long time, and the opening ceremony of the colorful winter tourism Naadam was full of people and lively. Purple, blue, pink, and orange fireworks chase each other and compete with each other.

Dozens of knights in full gear waited on both sides like strong men marching out. The majestic and high-spirited horse team swept the opening ceremony, allowing people to truly feel the majestic strength of the nation on horseback.

Heroic knights whipped their horses and galloped on the open grassland, and the dust splashed by the galloping horses created a misty atmosphere. The knights raised their whips up and down, and their coherent movements made the hearts of the local people who were watching and the tourists who came from the original road surged, and the adrenaline soared.

The impression of camels is always deep in the desert smoke, but this time the huge camel team appeared on the scene. About 4 meters long and 3 meters high, the brave Mongolian riders and some young camels carry children, which is even more wonderful than a fairy tale.
