"What's this? It's too hard to pronounce, isn't it...... I thought this thing was called siu mai, but I didn't expect it to have any filling, but it tasted good."

Zhuge Yinglong picked up a glutinous rice dumpling and put it in his mouth, and then drank a sip of thick butter tea, looking like he was enjoying it, quite a gourmet's style.

"Tsamba , let's read more books...... " Chi Ling said proudly, she happened to know this word, and she also picked up a piece of tsamba made like a roasted wheat shape, and took a small bite gently, but her brows were slightly wrinkled, obviously this was not to her taste.

Li Zimu ate by himself without speaking, tsampa is the staple food of the Tibetan people, the Tibetan people used to eat every day, this is it, Li Zimu has also eaten many times.

The barley is dried and fried, then placed on a stone and ground without being too finely ground to look like cereal, and can be kneaded into the mouth with tea and ghee like kneading flour without too complicated steps.

In the past, the old Tibetans did not use chopsticks or spoons to eat, because they had to go out in the morning to herd cattle and come back in the evening, so they went out with a wooden bowl, and hung a leather bag for tsampa flour and a pot for tea around their waists.

At noon, pour the tea and tsamba into the wooden bowl and knead it into a ball to eat, there is no need to make a fire at all, it is simple and rude, and the taste is not bad, the first time you eat it may be a little unpalatable like Chi Ling, eat it a few times, and you can naturally taste the wisdom of the Tibetan people.

The temperature difference in the plateau area is large, and the calorie consumption is very fast, so their daily routine is to eat tsampa and drink butter tea every day.

Ghee is the butter extracted from yak milk, plus the brick tea boiled with water to wash together, with extremely high calories, drink a sip of the whole person is refreshed, the milk taste is relatively strong, is a good thing to replenish physical strength.

Today, the four of them eat a combination of tsampa and butter tea, the most eaten thing by the Tibetan people, in addition, there are many dishes on this table, all made of yak meat, and it is rare to see green vegetables on the table here.

This is a plateau area, don't look at the green grass is all grass, but vegetables can't survive here, so being able to eat a meal of vegetables is as difficult as when you are poor, and you can only eat a chopstick meat during the New Year's holidays.

A whole table of dishes is all ready, and there is no need for guests to do it themselves, just hold the chopsticks clip.

It is clean, hygienic and civilized.

However, Li Zimu still likes to be more traditional, and the tsamba should be stirred by himself, the butter tea should be brewed by himself, and the yak meat should be roasted by himself. This is a real place to eat meat and drink in a big bowl, not a place to eat with chopsticks like this.

It took more than half an hour for a few people to eat and drink, mainly because Zhuge Yinglong had an amazing appetite, and he didn't stop eating all the time, if Li Zimu and the three of them ate it, they should have eaten it long ago......

"Hiccup......"

Zhuge Yinglong hiccups comfortably, and followed Li Zimu behind the three of them In addition to the hotel, their lunch was solved in this hotel, and it was very convenient to take a bath and go down to eat directly.

He was very satisfied with this meal, and he finally came across such a table full of meat, so he naturally let go of his stomach and ate openly, and his stomach was bigger, not to mention, and it was difficult to walk......

"Where are we going now?" I think it's quite comfortable just sitting in the sun in this weather," said Chi Ling as he walked next to the plum tree while admiring the beautiful scenery of the lake.

Indeed, at this temperature, it is much more comfortable to move a chair outside and lie down than to sunbathe on the beach, and after a long journey, they don't want to walk a few more steps.

"Drink tea and bask in the sun"

Li Zimu said lightly, he really didn't think about where to go, he just wanted to find a place to lie down and bask in the sun and drink tea, which was what he did the most every time he came to Xizang.

In the past, in Lazar, the streets and alleys were full of teahouses, and basically eight out of ten were teahouses.

Because there are no vegetables here, yak meat, which is oily and dry every day, is not good for the body to eat. Therefore, in the past, the Tibetan people often fell ill.

At that time, there was tea, but only the nobles could afford to drink it, until the Songtsen Gampo period, Princess Wencheng sent tea as a dowry to thousands of households in Xizang, I have to say, this is an epoch-making story.

Since then, tea has been introduced into thousands of households as a routine, and tea is rich in theophylline, tannins, vitamins, and has the functions of clearing heat, moisturizing dryness, detoxification, diuretic, etc., just to make up for the defects in the Tibetan diet, preventing and treating indigestion and other diseases, and playing a role in fitness and disease prevention.

There is a saying among the Tibetans that is very convincing, but you can't go without food for three days, and you can't go without tea for a day.

What Li Zimu has to do is what the Tibetan people do every day, that is, to find tea to drink.

The people in the south have arable land, and they are either weeding or fertilizing and watering every day, and they are so busy facing the loess with their backs to the sky.

In contrast, it is more leisurely here, Li Zimu followed this street, did not take the big street, picked a small alley to walk, and found an old teahouse after a while.

Look, you can still find some old Tibetan stuff here, but it's hidden in the shadows that the shiny neon lights can't illuminate, and you'll have to dig through it yourself.

Li Zimu goes to a place, does not visit famous places, does not visit historical sites, he likes to wander these small alleys, to find out what the city should have in the past.

The menu on the table clearly says that the old Tibetans can't understand Chinese, so they have to find someone to write the menu in Chinese characters in advance, and mark the numbers on the back, and the guests only need to take the menu and point it to the owner, and there is a price behind it, and they pay for it.

"This simply subverts the iron law that things are expensive in tourist places, a pot of tea is only seven yuan? This cake is only one dollar? Don't say it, I have a treat today!"

Zhuge Yinglong looked at the menu and said proudly, he had just eaten, and these people couldn't eat anything if they wanted to, and the things here were so cheap, it was the time for him to perform......

"Others don't accept coins" Li Zimu looked at the shopkeeper and waved his hand and said a bunch of Tibetan, and kindly reminded Zhuge Yinglong.

The store is an old couple who are very kind to people.

Tibetan shops rarely accept coins, they only accept the paper money in the Huaxia coin, because the paper money has Tibetan on it, but there is no one on the coin, so generally they only accept paper money.

"There are a lot of old things here!" "The spirit seems to have entered a new world, here are some old things she hasn't seen much, more look at it for work, it's very novel, I can't help but take out my mobile phone and take a picture.
