At ten o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at Xi'an Station on time. At the exit of the www.biquge.info station, a person named "Lao Qin" received us. Lao Qin was originally a buddy of Uncle Xiaopang, and later because he mixed well with Wang Fatzi, he made some money, after Wang Fatzi washed his hands and retired, Lao Qin returned to his hometown in Xi'an to set up a small company, and poured antiques and handicrafts, and developed well, and now has his own antique handicraft shop in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, Famen Temple and other places.

This old Qin is about forty years old, is a typical Guanzhong man, bold, informal, when he was young, he was a soldier for a few years, it is said that he was good at that time, and he was once the right-hand man of Wang Fatzi. This time, Wang Fatzi heard that Xiaopang said that he was going to come to Xi'an to steal the fight, after all, he was a blood relative, and he was worried that Xiaopang, who had little experience, would encounter danger, so he asked Lao Qin to receive and take care of us.

Lao Qin is very hearty, I heard that I and Xiaopang are the first time to come to Xi'an, not to take us to taste the snacks of Xi'an first, and then to the places of interest and historic sites, Xiaopang said: "Lao Qin, there is no need for places of interest, this snack in Xi'an must be tasted."

I laughed in my heart: "Chubby is still most interested in eating".

Listen to Lao Qin, the most famous snacks in Xi'an are concentrated in the vicinity of the ** street of the Drum Tower, what are the Defa long dumplings, Jia Sanguan soup dumplings, Tongshengxiang's mutton steamed buns, etc., Wang Fatzi has instructed him to settle us in the Xi'an Bell Tower Hotel, which is very close to the ** street, less than ten minutes on foot, first send us over to wash and rest, and go to the opposite Defa Chang at noon to taste the dumpling banquet.

When Xiaopang heard the food, the saliva flowed down, and after washing up at the Bell Tower Hotel, he rested for a while, and couldn't wait to let Lao Qin take us to eat.

Founded in 1935, this Xi'an Defa Chang was originally a time-honored restaurant mainly engaged in Beijing-style dumplings, and later after years of development, it has now become a large and medium-sized enterprise integrating eating, living, entertainment and travel, and has received important leaders of China's party and state as well as foreign heads of state and world celebrities for many times. Dumpling banquet is a series of delicacies developed by Defa Chang in the early 80's on the basis of dumpling banquets, absorbing the strengths of others, and skillfully integrating the selection of materials and flavors, cooking and nutrition, form and art, food and culture. Due to the rich and scientific catering of the dumpling banquet, it gives the guests a feeling of "a dumpling banquet and tastes fresh all over the world", and is praised as "the flavor of the ages" by guests at home and abroad. The dumpling banquet series has been recognized as "Chinese Famous Snack" by the state.

Xiaopang doesn't care about any food culture, he didn't eat anything serious on the train, he couldn't help looking at a table of delicacies, no wine in the northwest, Lao Qin asked for two bottles of Xifeng, we ate in this Defa Changkai, two glasses of wine under the stomach, there are more words, while chatting and eating, until the sky is dark, the belly is full of intestinal fat, I was going to eat soup dumplings at night, this time even Xiaopang said that he couldn't eat, and went around near the bell tower at night, ate some snacks and fruits, and went back to the hotel to rest. The next day, Xiaopang came to the spirit again, Lao Qin took us to eat Jia San's soup dumplings and Tongshengxiang's mutton steamed buns, and Xiaopang took out dozens of mutton skewers before stopping.

We ate all the snacks in Xi'an, and then we remembered the purpose of coming to Xi'an. Lao Qin said, this thief is a fateful thing, we must be fully prepared, especially Xiaopang and I have little experience, it is dangerous not to be prepared, Xiaopang's uncle has prepared equipment for us, and then whispered, there are some "hard goods", said stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured, I immediately understood that it was a gun.

After all, this field is not like Beijing, some remote places are not strictly managed, so you can get some forbidden things, but to carry these things you have to take a small road, Wang Fatzi prepared the equipment for us in a place called Wang Jiatuo on the outskirts of Xianyang, we need to take the equipment first, and then take the path from there to Phoenix Terrace.

We rested in the hotel for an afternoon, and at eight o'clock in the evening, Lao Qin drove an SUV to pick me up and Xiaopang, left the room, and rushed to Wangjiatuo to pick up the equipment. The car drove for more than three hours, and when we came to a small village, Lao Qin parked the car in a nearby orchard, and asked Xiaopang and me to wait in the car for a while, and then go into the village to get things by ourselves. The effort is not big, Lao Qin is back, I see that he carried a big bag, and then asked me and Xiaopang to help, turned the back seat of the car over, the car was obviously modified, there is a space under the back seat to hide things, we put things away, close the back seat, from the appearance can not see anything abnormal, and then Lao Qin drove, took us to the Phoenix Terrace, although the things are well hidden, and take advantage of the night, but in order to avoid inspection, we still take the path.

This trail is always walking around the mountain, it is very rugged, no one in the wilderness, not to mention the street lights or anything, the mountain road is very bumpy, the car is very slow, it is estimated that it will not be until the early morning to reach Phoenix Terrace.

Lao Qin chatted with us while driving, and Xiaopang said: "The snacks in this ** street are good, but they are all mutton, we are from Beijing, authentic Han people, I am really not used to eating too much"

I said: "I really don't see that you are not used to it, eating mutton buns with direct oil, which is more fragrant than anyone else's."

Xiaopang said with a smile: "Go to the countryside and follow the customs, but I really don't understand why these ** brothers don't eat pork, according to what I heard that when Tang Seng passed through the Western Regions when he learned the scriptures, Comrade Bajie helped them kill the goblins, in order to remember Comrade Bajie, they set up an ancestral precept, not to touch the descendants of Bajie, I don't know if that's the case"

I said: "Damn, pure nonsense, Lao Qin grew up near the ** district, and he must know the real reason"

Sure enough, Lao Qin talked about this topic and gushed endlessly: "In fact, it's not just ** people who don't eat pork, all Muslims who believe in Islam in the world refuse to eat pork." In China, as long as people know that you don't eat pork, they immediately think that you are **, and not eating pork has almost become synonymous. Many people have many misunderstandings about the issue that Muslims do not eat pork, among them, some people think that Muslims do not eat because of respect for pigs, and then from respect to maybe pigs saved their ancestors, right? This is a typical Han people's association, because we Chinese most respect ancestors, and then worship ancestors. But in fact, this is all speculation and misinformation, and the real reason is religious taboos. In the Qur'an it is mentioned that "blood, pork, self-death, and those who have not slaughtered in the name of Allah shall not eat." That is to say, Allah said, you may eat the good food that Allah has given you, and thank Allah, and if you worship only Allah, then he forbids you to eat the dead, and the bloodshed, and the pork, and the slaughter in the name of the Allah...... Do not lie nonsense: this is lawful, it is unlawful, and those who lie in the name of Allah will never succeed. So Allah has clearly instructed Muslims that pork is forbidden to eat. ”

Little Fat said: "Then why does Allah not let Muslims eat pork? This Allah is too partial to eaters, right? Why is it not like my Little Fat, never picky eater?"

Lao Qin continued: "It is said that it is due to several reasons, first, the pig is ugly and weird, and it is sexually greedy and stupid. The languages of all ethnic groups in the world use the word "pig" to describe people as ugly, lazy, and stupid. Even some people around us, when they say that someone is stupid, jokingly say that "so-and-so is like a pig", and the second is that pigs like to be filthy, their living areas are dirty, and the feed they eat is also filthy, which is difficult to compare with herbivores. As the saying goes: "Tiger poison does not eat children", but once the pig is extremely hungry, even the parent pig cubs will not be eaten. Ordinary animals, even small birds, will establish a certain relationship with the person who raised it, and the story of animals such as the righteous dog savior helping people is widely known, but the pig sometimes even eats the baby of the person who raised it, and its character is difficult to compare with that of fierce animals such as wolves and tigers. Also, the pig has only one tendon in its neck, which can neither see the sky nor turn back, and Muslims are particular about changing their minds, and this characteristic of the pig is contrary to this lifestyle of Muslims, which is one of the reasons why Muslims do not eat pork. The last is incest mating, once the young pig reaches the estrus period, some will mate with the sow or boar who gave birth to him, and the offspring are no upper and lower, and the young are not distinguished, and it is difficult to see in ordinary animals. In fact, for Muslims, not only do they not raise pigs or eat pork, but they also have to put an end to the habits of dirty, dirty, greedy, lazy, stupid, etc., which are common to pigs and their similar animals. The standard that Muslims can eat is "Jiamei", which is "handsome, warm, and clean" and edible, and "strange, evil, and filthy" is not edible. Therefore, for Muslims, the first thing to do without pork is to follow the teachings of the Qur'an, which says: "Whoever believes in Allah, whoever does good, male or female, We will make them live a pure life." ”

I nodded my head and saw it for a long time.

Little Fat said: "This Allah probably has some problems in his heart, he hates pigs and doesn't eat them, and he doesn't let his fans eat them, so he is a little ruthless, and one day I see this buddy talking to him and solving the problems in his heart." ”

Lao Qin hurriedly stopped: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, you will be punished for not respecting religious beliefs......"

Chatting and chatting, I don't know where to go, the sky is dleak and drizzling, it's the end of March, the beginning of April, it stands to reason that there is very little rain in the Guanzhong area, maybe the weather is a little abnormal this year, right? Or what does it portend?

The light rain became heavier and heavier, and the originally rugged mountain road became even more muddy and difficult to walk. Suddenly, the car "clang, clang" twice, stopped, Lao Qin stepped on the accelerator a few times, and the car rang a few times, and it couldn't start.

"Damn, it can't be a car breakdown," Chubby said.

"How's it going? Retribution, right?

Seeing that the rain didn't look like it was going to stop for a while, and there was no way to repair the car, so I could only wait for the rain to stop.

We looked around, this is a small col, bare, there seems to be a small house about ten meters away from the road, Xiaopang said that the car is uncomfortable, panic, go over to see the situation of the house, if you can stay people, rest and rest in it, and wait for the rain to stop and then find a way.

Lao Qin said that it was okay, if there were people, by the way, I would like to inquire about how far it is from Phoenix Terrace. We took a flashlight and an umbrella, and Chubby took a backpack, got out of the car and walked to the small house.

Fatty took a flashlight and found that there was a fence next to the hut, as if it was surrounded by something, the door was not locked and half-hidden, and the window glass was broken. I knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so I pushed the door open and shone it with a flashlight, and found that it was an abandoned hut, clean and empty, with some straw on the ground and no bad smell.

Xiaopang looked at it and said: "This place looks pretty clean, let's have a cat in it (Beijing dialect, meaning rest), drink some wine, eat something, and wait for the rain to stop repairing the car before leaving", and walked inside.

Lao Qin suddenly shone a flashlight on the wall next to the door and said, "Wait, there are words on this wall." After speaking, he took the flashlight and read: "Hui - people - public - tomb".
