The door of the yurt is not high, and people have to bend down to pass through.

The yurt is covered with a thick carpet all over the floor, and in the middle there is a wooden support brushed with red lacquer to support the felt cloth on top.

As soon as you enter the door, this is a place to change shoes, and several people take off their shoes and step on the carpet, which is very soft and comfortable to step on.

There is no bed in the yurt, so there is a table for eating, and the table is put away when you sleep, and a quilt is laid directly on the carpet.

The table used here is a kind of low table, about 30 centimeters, and people sit directly on the carpet, but it may be because this is already an external business, and there is a circle of small benches on the side of the table, which is considering that the Han people are not good at cross-sitting. In fact, the Northeast used to eat on the kang and also plated.

Zhang Jun didn't discuss with everyone and arranged the meal directly, and then everyone sat down and talked casually. Xiaohong and Geng Hui held hands and ran around in their bags, touching and looking around, like an adventure.

When the two curious girls explored the whole yurt, the door curtain was lifted, and a girl wearing traditional Mongolian clothes came in, holding a stack of earthen bowls and carrying a large pot.

Zhang Jun beckoned and said, "Come on, come and try this." ”

A few people gathered around the table to watch, and Xiaohong asked, "What is this?"

The waiter set the bowl on the table with his hands and feet, and said, "Ugu Taicuo." ”

Xiaohong raised her head and asked Xiaowei, "What?"

Zhang Jun said with a smile, "Tea, a traditional kind of tea of the Mongolian people, used to receive distinguished guests, and it was called Wugu Taicuo in Mongolian. ”

The waiter knelt on the edge of the table and set the bowl, added a piece of ghee to the bowl, and then took a large pot and added some thick milky white milk tea to the bowl, which was sticky after stirring, and she added some fried barley grains to the bowl, and then knelt down and bowed over his head to serve the tea to everyone.

Zhang Jun stretched out his hands to take it and said, "Take it with both hands, you must understand etiquette." ”

Everyone took the tea with both hands in a proper manner, and immediately there was a very strong sense of ceremony, solemn and cordial.

The waiter turned around and went out after serving the tea, and said a word from beginning to end.

Zhang Jun said, "Just mix it and eat it, taste it." ”

Xiaohong asked in a low voice, "Why is she kneeling, it feels so hard, I'm embarrassed." ”

Zhang Jun said: "Their kneeling is not the same thing as what we usually say. Kneeling, in our history was originally a very daily thing, there was no stool at the original time, everyone, including the emperor, also knelt, and people straightened up their bodies when they saw the salute. Until the Tang Dynasty, the stool was slowly popularized, and it was called Hu bed at that time, and the word bed originally meant a kind of stool. But kneeling was a formal ritual at that time.

In the late Tang Dynasty, stools and high tables were popularized, and in the Song Dynasty, people usually met and did not need to kneel, but kneeling was still passed down as a formal etiquette, but at that time, only kneeling to the prince of heaven and earth, and only formal occasions would kneel, at the same time, kneeling became a common way of saluting in officialdom, showing respect and obedience, but it was not mandatory except to see the emperor.

In addition to seeing the emperor, it is also mandatory to kneel during the lawsuit, that is, when passing through the court, the plaintiff and the defendant have to kneel to answer questions, which is intended to alert people to listen to the heavens and the earth.

In the Yuan period, kneeling became kneeling, because the Mongols have always maintained the tradition of kneeling and sitting in their daily lives, and Mongolia is essentially a slavery system, and kneeling represents obedience. Get down on your knees and put your hands on your sides, as if a dog or a tiger or wolf has exposed its belly to its opponent, indicating that it is convinced and completely obedient.

In the Ming Dynasty, the rules of the Song Dynasty were basically restored, and even more relaxed, and the ministers only bowed their hands when they saw the emperor, and only knelt down during large-scale events, such as worshiping the heavens and ancestors, or asking for sins to kneel. Kneeling at this time represents the greatest respect.

After the end of the Qing Dynasty, it is a slave nation, Qing ruthless, the heads of the people killed are rolling, the Han people are not even slaves, they must kneel down in front of the Manchurians to show respectful submission, the taste of kneeling has changed, in other words, the whole people are slaves, and this is how servility comes.

This kind of kneeling of the Mongolians is just a national tradition, and it is similar to us meeting now and shaking hands and saying hello, so you don't have to think about it. ”

Geng Hui held the tea bowl and listened to Zhang Jun speak, and said, "Brother, you know a lot. ”

Xiaohong's little bowl was empty, and she clicked her mouth and said, "It's delicious, it's a bit like ice cream." His eyes drifted to Xiaowei's bowl, and the small bowl was handed over and said, "Here, can you still eat for a while?"

After Wugu Taicuo finished eating, the door curtain moved again, and the food was served.

The hand-held lamb is lamb chops, and the whole root is boiled out and eaten with sauce, which is fatty and fragrant.

Grilled lamb chops, roast lamb legs, roast mutton, stewed mutton, fried lamb liver, fried noodles, almost no greens, there are no vegetables in the steppe, and there are no vegetables in traditional Mongolian recipes. After eating for a while, Chen Hui looked left and right and said, "Why is there no wine?"

Zhang Jun smiled and asked, "How much do you drink?"

Chen Hui said, "It's okay, it's okay." You don't sell alcohol here, do you?"

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Little Red tilted her head and said, "What's the sound?"

Everyone quieted down and listened carefully, a whimpering music came, Zhang Jun put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands with the towel on the table, and said to Chen Hui with a smile: "Xiaowei, I know the amount of wine, pour a glass, you are our main force, you can't be cowardly." ”

Chen Hui was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

The sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, and the curtain of the door was lifted, and a Mongolian woman wearing a Mongolian robe and a half-eared hat walked in, followed by two women and a man, the horse-head piano in the man's hand sounded happily, and from his throat came a crisp and sharp but not harsh vibrato.

The woman in the half-eared hat made a Mongolian salute, greeted her in Mongolian, and then sang to the sound of the horse-head qin, and the two women behind her, one holding a blue hada, and the other holding a wine bowl, the mouth of which was the size of a human face. Zhang Jun motioned for several people to stand up.

She sang a few words, took a hada from the woman next to her and walked over, Zhang Jun immediately pointed at Chen Hui with a confused face.

The half-eared hat put Hada around Chen Hui's neck while singing, and turned around to take a big bowl.

The woman holding the large bowl carried a large copper kettle in her other hand, and lifted it lightly to fill the bowl with slightly cloudy goat's milk wine. The half-eared hat held the wine bowl in his left hand, and the middle finger of his right hand waved upwards on the wine bowl, then waved it to the ground, and then dotted it on his eyebrows, and then handed the wine bowl to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui glanced at Zhang Jun and took the wine bowl with both hands, Zhang Jun smiled and explained, "Learn from her." You've got to get wine. The middle finger of the right hand is dipped in wine, yes, it is flicked into the air, then it is dipped again, it is bounced to the ground, and the third time it is wiped on the center of the eyebrows, yes, let's do it. ”

Chen Hui's eyes opened in an instant and the boss looked at Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Yes, it's done." ”

Chen Hui swallowed her saliva, looked at the half-eared cap, she looked at Chen Hui expectantly with her beautiful big eyes, and stretched out her hands to make a drinking gesture. Chen Hui put the bowl to his mouth and tasted it, and then it dried, the bowl was not deep, a little more than five centimeters, but it was big.

After drinking the wine in the bowl, Chen Hui burped and returned the bowl, and the half-eared hat took the bowl and sang again, Zhang Jun said, "Three bowls." Drink slowly, don't be in a hurry. Sure enough, the woman on the side lifted the big pot and filled it again.

After three bowls, Chen Hui was a little floating, and then Zhang Jun, one bowl, Xia Maosheng, one bowl, Xiaowei half a bowl, Geng Hui and Xiaohong only poured the bottom of one bowl, Xiaohong licked her lips after drinking and said, "It's delicious, it's not spicy." ”

After offering Hada and drinking the toast, the half-eared hat sang a complete song accompanied by the horse-head fiddle, and then made a salute, and several people went out.

Chen Hui then spoke, "Why do I have three bowls, just one bowl, half a bowl?"

Zhang Jun handed Chen Hui a large row and said, "It turned out that everyone had three bowls, and later it was commercialized, just one of the three bowls in a group of people, and the others just wanted to do it, and the courtesy was enough." If you can't go to the Mongols' house, everyone has to drink. How's it going?

Chen Hui took a breath and said, "The wine is okay, it's just such a way to drink, it's not good." He put down the platoon and stood up, took two steps to the side and shook it, and then he fell. Goat's milk wine is not strong, it is not strong but it is also wine, there are thirty degrees and forty degrees, not to mention that the three bowls are stuffy in a row.

Xiaowei and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
