Chapter 66: The Steppe Shepherds
flutter, Xu Ying also laughed, the style of that smile made Liu Feng stunned, Sister Xu Ying is so beautiful! Xu Ying looked at Liu Feng's stupid look at herself, her heart was very sweet, and she asked again: "Then tell me, how many fake restaurants are there?" β
Liu Feng gathered his mind and said: "Actually, the younger brother also knows a little about this, but I heard that the best restaurant has eight guises. β
"Ao," Xu Ying frowned and asked, "What do you say about the eight pretenses?" β
"Eight pretenses are quite domineering, if the master doesn't give his strength, he won't dare to hang at all."
Liu Feng really knew about this, when he was a child, his father's subordinates had a master: "Here, if the restaurant hangs eight banners, it is equivalent to a promise, as long as you can order the dishes, there is nothing that you can't make." If you can't do this, the restaurant will have to let your peers smash the signboard, and never think about eating at the restaurant again! β
Xu Ying stuck out her tongue: "So powerful? I see that the signs outside are still different, what's going on? β
"See those flowers? That means that there are steamed buns sold in this store, and that disc means that there are steamed buns in the store, and there are long spikes below, and they are not hung casually, that means there are noodles in the store! And wow, the blue sign says that this shop is a halal restaurant! β
Liu Feng simply finished speaking, and the girl in the province chattered endlessly. When it was time to eat, there were more and more customers in the restaurant, and Liu Feng found that more than half of the customers were from Beimeng, no wonder there were so many blue banners here.
These herders have simple requirements for food, as long as the portions are sufficient and affordable, they are satisfied. What they value most is whether there is a good Kanto koyaki in the store, and with good wine, the store will be lively!
Xu Ying returned to Yanjing City overnight, and I heard the girl say that Huang Suxin and they had already set off, and she didn't look at Liu Feng herself, she was always unwilling! Liu Feng's deep affection for the girl is really unrequitable, Xu Ying repeatedly said that she would never be Xue Baochai, which made Liu Feng even more entangled.
Watching the train go away, Liu Feng's heart seemed to be blocked by a handful of straws, and he was very depressed. In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, Liu Feng couldn't lie down anymore, and drove aimlessly up the prairie of Northern Mongolia.
The rain still kept falling, I don't know how far I ran, the sky was already bright, and a few yurts appeared sparsely in front of me. Liu Feng felt that his stomach was very empty, thinking of the herdsmen's unique food, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and with one foot on the accelerator, he jumped towards the largest yurt among them.
Before Liu Feng got out of the car, the felt curtain of the yurt was lifted, and a sturdy man walked out. Seeing Liu Feng, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face: "No wonder I heard the magpie cry early in the morning, it turned out that there was a distinguished guest arriving!" Come on, come on, please, please! β
Liu Feng is Yile: "Brother, we are really fateful, my brother saw you in Liaobei County yesterday." β
The man was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed a few handfuls on the unkempt head, and said with a sincere smile: "Ha, the eldest brother is talking about the political axe hotel, right?" Hehe, I laughed and laughed, those guys always watch people put down dishes, and they are prejudiced against us herdsmen! β
Two people entered the yurt, and there was a woman in her forties and two teenage boys, Liu Feng asked in surprise: "Brother Ge Letu, why didn't the child go to school?" Is it because of mobile herding that I dropped out of school? β
Ge Yuletu smiled: "The children of the grassland will still be eagles soaring on the grassland in the future, and it is useless to read those books. Su He, Temur, come and call uncle! β
Su Hezu is one meter and seven meters tall, if it weren't for the fact that his face was too naΓ―ve, he would really make people think that he was an adult: "Hello uncle!" β
The two children are very polite, Su He looked at Ge Yueletu: "What do you see, don't go catch sheep yet!" He turned back to the woman who was picking up and shouted, "Naren Toya, make a pot of milk tea, first cushion the bottom, and then go back and have a few cups with the big brother!" β
I had long heard the comrades of Shan Yuxiang say that the herdsmen were hospitable, but Liu Feng really didn't expect that for the sake of his uninvited guest, Ge Yue Letu would actually kill the sheep: "Brother Ge Yue Letu, don't be too -"
"Hey, don't say kind words," Ge Yueletu waved his hand, "Our brother is fate, Changshengtian let you come to my house early in the morning, you don't have to be polite, that's looking down on big brother!" β
I have to say that on this cold and rainy morning, drinking a bowl of butter tea is indeed a great enjoyment. While Naren Toya was busy making tea, several nearby herdsmen had already seen Jeep2020 outside the Ge Letu yurt, and the hospitable herdsmen came to drink wine with their family treasures.
"Brother Ge Letu, did you sell your leather goods yesterday?" Liu Feng remembers yesterday's scene.
"Hey!" Bargan, who was in his forties, sighed, "How can it be so easy!" In recent years, the price of leather goods has been declining, and the group of guys who came to buy it are the most black-hearted, and some can't even give the price, so we want to go to Liaobei County to find a market. β
Liu Feng asked in surprise: "Is it like this every year or only this year?" β
Agudamu took over the conversation: "Every year, the old herdsmen are miserable, and they save a little leather goods all year round, but they always can't sell them at a price. β
Liu Feng's heart moved, and then asked, "Are you nomadic or settled now?" β
Ge Yuletu replied: "This is the best grassland in the east of the Badain Jaran Desert, and we can be regarded as settled, relatively speaking, it is relatively convenient to buy and sell here." Further north, it is even more difficult, and sometimes, when the leather goods are denitrified and have not been bought by regular customers, they will be downgraded, and it is even more difficult to sell them. β
Liu Feng frowned: "The treatment of leather is quite polluting to the environment, so how do you deal with your leather goods?" β
"Haha, what kind of pollution, isn't it just a piece of grassland that doesn't grow grass!" Bagen disagreed, "Immortal Heaven has given us the vast grassland, and the loss of that piece of Gada is nothing at all. β
Liu Feng asked with a smile: "At present, it doesn't matter if you have a piece of Gada, what about a few decades and a few hundred years from now?" Did your descendants still have pastures at that time? β
The shepherds present were all stunned, and no one really thought about it that far: "Hehe, you can't think about your offspring, you will starve to death!" β
It was Ge Yueletu who spoke, Liu Feng thought for a moment and asked, "How many leather goods can be produced in this neighborhood in a year?" β
"We have more than 3,000 pieces of leather to sell a year," said Agudam, "and in fact, the herdsmen of these 100 or so miles are worried about the sale of leather goods." Those meats can't be sold for money to eat, and at the end of the year, they will point to the leather goods to make money, hey! β
It was originally a very relaxing meal. made Liu Feng's topic lack of interest, and it wasn't until he drank the horse ** wine that the atmosphere became warm again. For herdsmen, guests must drink when they drink, otherwise they are outsiders, they are not sincere, and they cannot be handed over.
Liu Feng had a preliminary idea in his heart at this moment, how could he leave an insincere impression on the herdsmen? Before drinking, Ge Yue Letu sang a toast, the long tune and deep voice, as if telling the history of the steppe herdsmen.
The song is like a vast grassland, long and long! The shepherds here, one by one, sat on the felt with the beat, swaying gently, as if reminiscing about the old boyhood!
The first glass of wine, Liu Feng respectfully respected the master according to custom, and then drank it all! The first glass of wine, in the eyes of the herdsmen, is the best way to see whether a person knows or not, Liu Feng's refreshing drinking method immediately attracted a round of applause!
Roast mutton, stewed lamb chops, hand-handled meat, pot stickers, haggis soup, Liu Feng made a full meal. It's no wonder that Ge Letu has oily twists on their bodies, and after eating the hand-handled meat, they directly smacked it on their bodies, and Liu Feng was dizzy when he saw it.
The haggis soup is so fresh! Liu Feng has drunk haggis soup countless times, and only this time did he drink the real umami. It's strange, I saw that Naren Toya only put a little spice, why is it so fragrant?
When I remembered that when I ate fish on the edge of the Nenjiang River in my hometown, the old fisherman proudly said: "Stewed river fish in the river water, that is the best thing in the world!" At that time, Liu Feng was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was far from understanding this, but after that, Liu Feng did not eat such a fragrant fish.
No wonder fish and sheep together form "fresh"! There are many things, and only in the hands of those who are most familiar with them, will brew the most delicious taste! Just like the toast song sung by Ge Letu, a pure and authentic national singing, it is called a mellow!
The herdsmen's roast mutton is not as troublesome as in Yanjing City, where the fire is put on the shelf, and the sheep blanks are supported. Whoever has a convenient hand, go up and take a turn, in short, it will not make a certain part of it scorched. Everyone is an old herdsman, and there is no one who acts as a professional barbecue master.
As the fragrance gradually spread, Gryletu held a sharp knife, and the pieces looked bloodless, with a little burnt yellow on the outside. The first piece of mutton must be offered to guests from afar, and Liu Feng naturally enjoyed this distinguished treatment.
When roasting mutton, do not put seasonings, and the seasonings are served on the plate in front of you in advance, which is very simple, salt noodles, pepper noodles, garlic paste, and chili peppers are at will. This is how it looks a little simple way to eat, so that Liu Feng really tasted the grassland flavor meal!
Liu Feng even doubted that when he ate roast mutton and drank haggis soup in the future, would it be tasteless? Liu Feng found that the herdsmen rarely used chopsticks, and more often they grabbed them directly.
When drinking mutton soup, you don't need chopsticks, just drink it in the bowl, and the rest of the bowl is pushed together with your fingers and put it in your mouth. Liu Feng naturally didn't show too much, and he also dropped the chopsticks, except for not smearing oil on his body, everything was the same as the herdsmen.
Liu Feng's gluttonous way of eating is really right for the herdsmen's appetite, they didn't expect that such a quiet and quiet little boy would eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl like himself, which is really enough friends!
The herdsmen are very simple, and they are measured by the simplest standards, as long as you can mingle with them, you are a true friend!
