Chapter 29: A Special Tibetan Family Feast

Li Hao's car followed behind Wang Yikuo's car, and after a while, he got on the highway. Looking at the scenery all the way, chatting, and soon arrived at Datong County. Not long after getting off the highway, the car drove into a market, Li Hao turned his head and said to Yang Qianxun, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "I'll walk forward slowly, you and Xiao Liu go down to buy some fruit." Yang Qianxun and the others agreed to get out of the car, and while walking, they finally saw a fruit store, went in and bought apples, dragon fruit, bananas and other fruits, and carried large bags out of the store, looking around, Li Hao's car was still moving forward not far away. The two walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the car, Li Hao sped up the car, followed the traffic in front of him to catch up with Wang Yikuo's car, passed through the market, turned a small corner, and saw that Wang Yikuo and several people had gotten out of the car, looking at the road next to the car, the car stopped at the entrance of a slightly old community, it seemed that it was a place, Li Hao also leaned over his car and parked next to Wang Yikuo's car.

After taking things from the car, eight people walked into the community together, Wang Yikuo was in the front, everyone followed behind, Sun Haiyan walked to Yang Qianxun's side, reached out and took the gift box in Yang Qianxun's hand, and said politely: "Why do you want to take things?" It's just that everyone is having fun together, you guys are so polite! After speaking, he took Yang Qianxun's arm with his other hand and slowly followed behind the person in front of him.

went up to the fourth floor, Wang Yikuo knocked on the door, and Yang Qianxun and Sun Haiyan at the back only walked to the corner of the third floor and a half, Yang Qianxun said with a smile: "There are so many people, it won't scare your family, right?" ”

Sun Haiyan smiled and said, "It's okay, the old man also likes to be lively, and we often bring friends back." ”

The team moved up slowly, and when Yang Qianxun and the two walked to the door, they saw that several people in front of them were standing in the living room, greeting the owner of the house with a black-faced old man about sixty or seventy years old. Wang Yikuo also saw the person still standing at the door at this time, so he said: "The place is small, sit down first, then sit down." ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and then Yang Qianxun and Sun Haiyan walked in, and Yang Qian found a corner of the sofa and sat down. Sun Haiyan was still standing at the round table at the door, carrying the box of ceramic knives, introducing to a thin woman: "This is from Mr. Li and Mr. Yang, and they bought a lot of fruits, just to have a meal, I'm really embarrassed!" The woman glanced into the living room, her delicate face full of smiles. Sun Haiyan turned her head and saw Yang Qianxun, so she introduced: "This is my brother's daughter-in-law, my younger brother works in the Tianjun County Government and has not come back." Maybe you can see him when you go to Tianjun to raise a car in the future! He said to the woman: "This is Mr. Yang, they came to Qinghai to invest." ”

At this time, I heard Wang Yikuo say loudly: "My dad received my call and began to prepare, there is nothing to eat in a small place, kill a sheep, wait for everyone to taste our mutton here, it is absolutely delicious!" ”

Li Hao said: "The mutton in our hometown can't be eaten, and a sheep is slaughtered in four months, all of which rely on fattening. Some sheep also feed clenbuterol, I heard that a person in Beijing eats hot pot, and died before he came down to the table, the hospital checked, that is, there is a large amount of clenbuterol in the mutton, and now China's food safety is too helpless, so I don't eat mutton in our hometown. But the last time I ate mutton in Tianjun, it was really delicious! The aroma of lamb is hard to smell on a table in big cities. ”

Wang Yikuo said: "Our sheep are raised in natural grassland, which is really grown up eating cordyceps sinensis and drinking natural mineral water, and there are absolutely no feed additives." ”

The kitchen has been busy, several people are talking about the difference between mainland sheep and Qinghai sheep, in the kitchen Sun Haiyan's brother and daughter-in-law walked into the living room with a large pot of sheep bones, did not speak, smiled and put down the basin and walked out, Sun Haiyan explained: "The language is not clear, maybe she is afraid that you can't understand the local dialect." ”

Wang Yikuo beckoned everyone: "Come on, everyone wash your hands and start working, right?" ”

Yang Qianxun came back from lining up to wash his hands, and everyone in the living room was holding a sheep bone and gnawing on it. Li Hao picked out a lamb rib from the basin that looked like there was more meat, and handed it to Yang Qianxun: "This meat is easy to chew!" Eat! Yang Qianxun took it and tried to bite it, although he still didn't feel very familiar, but it was much better than the time in Tianjun. Just eat it boldly with confidence. By the time she finished gnawing a bone in her hand, a pot of sheep bones had been eaten by everyone. Sun Haiyan took the basin out, and brought another basin after a while, this time it was a large piece of mutton and some bones, and Yang Qianxun ate a piece of mutton with everyone, so he was embarrassed to eat it again. Looking up and seeing that Li Hao and Liu Zhiyang were eating very deliciously, Liu Zhiyang's smiling eyes looked at the sheep bones in his hand intently, looking very satisfied.

The second pot was not finished, and the dishes were served one after another, fried mutton, fried mutton liver, fried mutton intestines, roasted mutton tendons, and a coffee table was full. Liu Zhiyang smiled and said, "Haha, this is the whole sheep banquet, right?" ”

Wang Yikuo also smiled and said: "There are other dishes, but everyone comes to eat mutton, of course, it is mainly mutton." At this time, a tall and fat, big face aunt walked into the room, Wang Yikuo introduced it as his mother, Wang Yikuo's mother has a pair of big eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight, maybe because of the fat, it looks like there are not many wrinkles on the face, giving people a very kind beauty. The aunt walked in, Sun Haiyan also came in with a small stool in the back, and put it behind the aunt, the aunt sat down, facing a room of people, looking at them with a smile, but did not speak, Wang Yikuo said at this time: "My mother means to give everyone a glass of wine, she can't speak Mandarin, so I explain it to everyone." Sun Haiyan's brother and daughter-in-law were already standing beside her mother-in-law with a set of exquisite cloisonné wine utensils. Yang Qianxun looked curiously at the wine utensils in the hands of the thin woman, a round plate as big as a plate for vegetables at home, in the middle was a wine jug with a long waist, surrounded by six small goblets next to it, all bright and shining blue, with gold wire entwined flower branch ornamentation, giving people a delicate and gorgeous, noble and elegant visual beauty, so that Yang Qianxun couldn't help but think of the color of the cloisonné bracelet bought in the Forbidden City in Beijing. The thin woman had already picked up the flask with her other hand and poured it into the glasses one by one. At this time, Wang Yikuo introduced: "Our custom here, the host of the distinguished guest should toast three glasses of wine, see no, six cups, the host drinks three cups, the guest drinks three cups, everyone comes one by one." After speaking, he pointed to Li Hao: "Mr. Li, you come first!" ”

The thin woman picked up a small wine glass and wanted to hand it to Li Hao, but Li Hao immediately waved her hand: "No, no, my alcohol is too bad, you should come first." As he spoke, he pushed Brother Yu beside him: "Brother Yu will come first." Brother Yu smiled and said: "It's useless to push, everyone has to drink, isn't it not to give face to my aunt if you don't drink?" Li Hao stood up helplessly and said to his aunt: "Auntie, I can't drink enough, let's drink less, okay?" Have a drink? ”

Obviously, the aunt understood, nodded with a smile, picked up a small wine glass from the plate, stood up and waited for Li Hao, Li Hao took the wine glass from the hand of the younger daughter-in-law, symbolically touched the aunt's cup, drank it in one gulp, and returned the cup to the younger daughter-in-law.

Yang Qianxun thought, how much alcohol do people here? Otherwise, if there are three cups per person, there are no Wang Yikuo and his wife at the scene, and there are six people, then the host will have to drink eighteen cups, although the wine glass is not big, but eighteen cups are at least half a catty, right? The wine utensils are very beautiful, but everyone shares these cups, and this one is too unhygienic, but if you follow the local customs, you can't sweep the interest of others, right?

Just thinking about it, when she heard Wang Yikuo call her, she immediately stood up, knowing that it was useless to talk more, she also took a glass of wine, touched it with her aunt, and drank it.

Lap down, everyone is a small glass of wine. Yang Qianxun thinks it's not bad, and he won't be forced to pour alcohol! At this time, Wang Yikuo's father came in, his mother went out, and his younger daughter-in-law had already filled the wine jug with wine and stood by his father's side again. It's the end of another round. Yang Qianxun thought it was finally over, but after a while, the thin woman came into the living room with a wine utensil, and said in a very slow voice: "I toast you with a glass of wine, thank you for coming." Wang Yikuo immediately said loudly to the noisy people: "Stop, stop, this is my brother's daughter-in-law, my brother is not at home, she wants to represent my brother and respect everyone." After speaking, he took a cup from the wine set and handed it to Li Hao. Another round of toasting passed, Yang Qianxun thought, no one will come again this time, right? Everyone was eating and chatting, the atmosphere was very lively, and when talking about ethnic minority singers, Sun Haiyan said happily: "My mother sings very well, and the pot she dances is also very beautiful, I called my mother to come over and sing a paragraph for everyone." He walked out.

After a while, he pulled the fat aunt into the living room and said, "Mom, everyone wants to hear you sing, if you sing a song, just sing that song on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, right?" ”

The fat aunt was not embarrassed at all, nodded and began. Sun Haiyan took away the small stool next to the coffee table and tried to make a relatively large space. The fat aunt sang and danced, "Who brought the ancient call!" Singing out of his voice, his voice is loud and high-pitched, and he feels as if he is standing on the roof of the world, empty and far away! The chubby body kept writhing, there was a different taste, after singing a song, everyone applauded loudly, Yang Qianxun was also surprised and surprised, I didn't expect to look at an ordinary old aunt, the singing voice is so beautiful, there are really talents everywhere in the world! No wonder Britain can produce a grassroots celebrity aunt, and now civilian talent shows on TV are becoming more and more popular!

Everyone praised the aunt's singing voice and dancing, talked about some boundless gossip, and the meal lasted until more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and finally ended. Everyone sat and drank tea for a while, chatted for a while, saw that the time was not early, got up to say goodbye, and drove back to Xining.
