One hundred, desert style
Step by step, the sky is full of sand and soil. It is in this environment that Chen Kai firmly pulls together and pulls together
Don't get me wrong, Chen Kaike is a very upright and good boy, he is just struggling to pull up his feet in the bunker.
What does it mean to run a dead horse in the Wangshan Mountain and a tired cow across the river? What Chen Kai is experiencing now is the feeling of Wangsha's tired brother!
He had just seen the pair of camels lined up on the small sand dunes, and he felt that he was still very close to him; But when I really went down to catch up, I found that there was an error in the distance observed by the eyes!
However, the slowly moving camel herd allowed him to catch up with him with all fours, and as he had guessed before, this camel herd was a desert caravan! The first one is a man named Maimaiti. A man of the Uyghur ethnic group in Xinjiang in his fifties in Kurban.
With the help of an interpreter from the Han Chinese in the Tong Guò team, Chen Kai learned that they were a Maimaiti caravan, and that they were now preparing to return to the oasis after their hard work.
And the caravan captain Maimaiti. Kurban learned that Chen Kai was a tourist who came to the desert, but he was lost, and he had already eaten all the food and water on his body; Now he doesn't know what to do with the good news.
Enthusiastic buying. Kurban immediately invited Chen Kai to follow them to the oasis temporarily, Chen Kai naturally agreed, took the water bladder handed over and took a big gulp of water to replenish the water; After all, even if he was in the realm of refining and refining qi, it was impossible for him not to drink water all the time.
After drinking the water, Chen Kai was about to take a step, ready to follow the caravan, at this time a big hand slapped like him, and after feeling that the big hand had no malice, Chen Kai secretly dispersed the muscles that instinctively reacted.
"Snap" slapped his palm on his body, pretending to turn around without noticing; I found that it was a Xinjiang man in his early thirties, and I saw that he had a full beard, a close distance between his eyes, inverted eye sockets, a tall figure, and a rectangular face; The complexion is ruddy, and the figure is burly and powerful.
"Uh, is there something wrong with this big brother?" Chen Kai wrapped around the back of his head and wondered.
"Han friends, it's more convenient for you to sit here!" The man grinned, took a camel closer, patted Luo Feng, the camel immediately knelt down on his knees, and the man motioned for Chen Kai to use it as a substitute.
Chen Kai naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to say that he was going to walk, and he hadn't ridden a camel since he was so big; Now it's time to try something new.
After climbing onto the cushion between the peaks, the half-kneeling camel arched its front legs, then kicked up its hind legs, and finally got up completely. In this process, Chen Kai felt leaning forward and backwards, and hurriedly grabbed the handrail.
The big man laughed and rode a camel and walked side by side with Chen Kai; This stout Xinjiang Uyghur man is named Alimu. Maimaiti, like his father, is also very hospitable, and he warmly entertains Chen Kai.
He told Chen Kai that he was very interested in Han culture, and for this reason he also specially learned Chinese, and while telling Chen Kai the story of Xinjiang, he also kept asking Chen Kai to talk about things about the interior.
The two were constantly talking, and their relationship was also heating up rapidly, but in just half an hour, Alimu had already treated Chen Kai as a younger brother.
As for the question of the name between their father and son, Chen Kai was also curious and took the opportunity to ask him questions, and Alimu had already learned about the Han surname tradition through the conversation between Guò and Chen Kai, so he laughed and slowly said to Chen Kai.
It turns out that the names of Uyghurs in Xinjiang have their own set of rules: they are formed by adding their own names to their patronymics, and there is no such thing as a surname, and they cannot use the surnames of the Han people to apply the Uyghurs.
In the Uyghur people, when they reach middle age, especially the elderly, in addition to their real name and patronymic, they often attach some titles to indicate their status and position. Then, because the names are often repeated in the population, it is necessary to add the patronymic name in formal occasions and documents, and even the name of the grandfather, great-grandfather, and place of birth to distinguish it.
Alimu. Maimaiti also sued Chen Kai that in their Uyghurs, their name is composed of their father's name and his own name, just like his own name Alimu. Maimaiti, and Daddy's name is Maimaiti. Kurban, that's because grandpa is called Kurban. Ramiso!
As the caravan progressed, the two of them communicated with each other back and forth, and it seemed that the long time had passed very quickly.
At night, the night gradually covers the sky, not to mention the night in the western part of the country, the starry sky that can be seen in the sky is really very different from the mainland cities!
The stars are shining in the sky here, like beautiful and dazzling diamonds, dotted with the sky and night, which is very beautiful.
On the ground, bonfire stars are lit, which is a bonfire party specially held to welcome Chen Kai, a Han friend!
Everyone formed a ring around the bonfire, singing and dancing with a lively atmosphere that rendered the whole place, igniting everyone's blood boiling!
In the middle of the campfire, there are various delicacies, such as roasted whole lamb, roasted dairy meat, and kebabs!
Under the rendering of the lively atmosphere of celebration, Chen Kai was also pulled down by the good-looking enthusiastic woman there to dance a Xinjiang dance, and after the celebration, people ushered in a feast of food!
"Kebabs" is a traditional snack of the Uyghur people. Put fresh mutton slices, interspersed on the iron skewers, put them on the rectangular stove and roast, sprinkle with salt, chili noodles, cumin powder, you can eat in a few minutes, the taste is slightly spicy, fragrant but not greasy, tender and delicious; This authentic mutton skewer can make Chen Kai love it, and he will eat it with a mouth full of oil!
Not only that, Chen Kai also enjoyed a rich, unique, and nationally famous special snacks in Xinjiang, such as naan, pilaf, mixed noodles, barbecue, large plate of chicken, etc., he didn't want to eat it, his mouth couldn't close, and he kept stuffing food into his mouth to eat!
Alimu. Maimaiti also strongly recommended Xinjiang food naan for Chen Kai, naan is crispy and delicious and easy to preserve, is a unique and indispensable staple food for Uygur people, the jade digging team on the Kunlun Mountain is this kind of naan brought from home to maintain the body, and the caravan on the ancient Silk Road is also brought this kind of naan, a fast big naan can generally be eaten for a day, light and not bad, is the most popular food in ancient and modern times.
Alimu took a bite of naan, chewed beautifully, and sat down to face the bonfire at the same time, and told Chen Kai about his deep impression of naan: when he came home from playing, and when he entered the yard, he would see his mother standing on the edge of the naan pit, working tirelessly to make naan for his family. As long as you are hungry, whether in your mind or in your mouth, the first thing that appears is naan!
"Just say, Mom, I want to eat naan, and my mother will feed me the fragrant naan." Alimu's eyes were a little confused and he spoke.
"It's a pity that my mother is no longer there," Alimu's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said slowly with a long breath in a low tone.
Chen Kai looked at this heroic and hospitable man's sudden low affection, sighed and patted him on the shoulder, sometimes men don't need to say too much about their mother-in-law's words, all in a word!
