After more than a minute, Sukhbaru finally arrived at the lake

At this time, Lu Tian had already turned over and dismounted, quietly looking at the scenery by the lake, with patches of reeds floating in the wind, and occasionally some birds could be seen flying freely on the calm lake.

Not far from the lake, there is also a reddish shrub forest, which may be the famous red willow forest, only to see that each cluster of red willow has four or five branches, two or three meters high, growing lush and leafy, it should be moistened by the groundwater.

At this time, neither of them spoke, probably worried about breaking the natural harmony here, Lu Tian jumped, turned over and dismounted, stood firmly on the ground, picked up a small pebble, and quickly got out of his hand, only to see the pebble flying quickly towards the lake, leaving only a trace of afterimage;

Su and Batu glanced at Lu Tian suspiciously, could it be that this guy was playing with water rafting, but at this moment, he saw a small wave suddenly set off on the calm lake, and the next scene almost made Sukhbaru's jaw drop;

I saw that as soon as the stone was submerged in the water, and then a black crucian carp floated on the surface of the lake, Sukhbaru was surprised, he grew so big and had seen such a wonderful fishing technique, spearfishing was only seen on TV, I didn't expect that there was such a cow in reality, and he was actually his own classmate, how not to surprise Sukhbaru.

Seeing the black fish floating up, Lu Tian showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, quickly pulled up his trouser legs, walked into the lake step by step, and harvested his spoils, this fish is not very big, but it is already the largest in the lake, about a pound and a half, at this time, it has been knocked out by the small pebbles thrown by Lu Tian, and it floats motionless on the surface of the lake, Lu Tian's mastery of strength has been perfected, so it did not leave any scars on the crucian carp's body.

"Lu Tian, where did you learn this hand, it's so beautiful, can you teach me, hehe...... If you learn how to eat fish, it will be much more convenient. Sukhbaru asked with envy, seeing such a handsome fishing technique, of course he also wanted to learn it.

"Hehe, it's not that I don't want to call you, it's just that this is really no skill, as long as you insist on practicing here every day, I dare to guarantee that you will be able to ......learn it after practicing for ten years and eight years" Lu Tian pretended to be innocent and said, where did he learn this thing himself, but the body's control of power is very fine, if ordinary people want to learn such a stunt, as Lu Tian said, it may really take ten or eight years.

"Ah, it's going to take ten or eight years! That's not enough to ask for my old life, forget it, I won't learn. Hearing Lu Tian say that it would take ten or eight years, Sukhbaru was immediately frightened and immediately retreated.

Although Wuritu Lake is not big, but there are a lot of fish in it, but unfortunately they are still too small, not worth Lu Tian's shot, Lu Tian walked along the lake, while looking for the target, less than half an hour, Lu Tian has five or six black crucian carp in his hand, the smallest one has seven or eight taels, the largest one is estimated to have three or four catties, and Su Hebaru, who is leading the horse behind, is envious.

The fish in the lake seem to be all crucian carp, these crucian carp are darker than the average crucian carp, the individual is not large, but the meat is delicious, there are many such small lakes in the Sandy Land of Shandak, they all have this kind of crucian carp, in the past it was a tribute specially prepared for the emperor, and it was difficult for ordinary people to eat.

"Let's go, Lao Su, the whole lake has been turned around by us, it's not too early now, it's almost five o'clock, it's time to go back." Lu Tian looked at the time, turned around, and said to Lao Su who was following behind.

……

When they went back, both of them rode slowly, and one of them still carried four or five fish in his hand, and it seemed that there would be another delicious crucian carp soup in everyone's dish tonight.

"Ah, brother, you're finally back" "God! Where have you been? Neither will you call me. Seeing the two of them riding into the ranch, Qiqige and Xiao Xue hurriedly walked to the two of them.

"Hehe, it's me who is wrong this time, I will definitely call you next time." Lu Tian looked at Xiao Xue apologetically and said, worried that she would be angry because of this.

"Hey, how come there are fish, isn't this the kind of little crucian carp in Lake Uzhtu? But how can these be so much bigger? Big brother, these are all you beating? The little girl saw the fish in the hands of the two of them one after another, and asked curiously.

When Sukhbaru told Lu Tian's heroic deeds one by one, the little girl's eyes suddenly rolled around, as if she was thinking about something, and Xiao Xue also looked at Lu Tian with a happy face, feeling that the better Lu Tian was, the happier she would be.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, when it was already dark, tonight was destined to be a lively night, at this time a dozen people sat around a long table, which was full of food, including roast mutton, hand-handled meat, mutton floss, hada cakes, and of course, a large pot of crucian carp soup.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, Lu Tian and Xiao Xue couldn't help but move their index fingers, the two of them still ate ramen at the capital airport at noon, seven hours have passed, they are already a little hungry, after seeing these Menggu special flavors, the two of them feel as if they haven't eaten for three days, so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, and their saliva is dripping.

"Come, everyone, a toast, welcome our distinguished guests......" Everyone poured mare's milk wine one after another, raised their glasses and toasted to Lu Tian and the others.

Mare's milk wine, grilled meat, and roast lamb are their favorite beverages, foods, and hospitality delicacies in their daily lives. Every year in July and August, the cows are fat and the horses are strong, which is the season for making mare's milk wine.

The industrious Menggu women store the mare's milk in a skin bag, stir it, and after a few days, the milk fat separates and ferments into wine. With the development of science and the prosperity of life, the craftsmanship of making mare's milk wine in the ancient people has become more and more exquisite and perfect, not only has a simple fermentation method, but also has a distillation method for making strong milk wine. The milk wine after six steaming and six brewing is the top grade.

Mare's milk wine is warm in nature, and has the effects of dispelling cold, relieving tendons, invigorating blood, and strengthening the stomach. It is known as purple jade pulp and yuan jade pulp, and it is one of the "eight treasures of Menggu". It was once the main drink of the court of the Yuan Dynasty and the palace of the ancient nobles. Kublai Khan also used to put it in a precious gold bowl to reward meritorious officials.

"Hand-grilled meat" is one of the traditional meat-eating methods of the Menggu people. The practice is to disembowel, peel the skin and wash the internal organs, remove the head and hooves, and then unload the whole sheep into a number of large pieces, put people in white water to boil, take out the meat when the water is cooked, put it on the table in a large plate, and everyone holds a fierce ancient knife to cut and eat in large pieces. It is famous for not using chopsticks, but using your hands to grasp food.

Pouring wine and toasting guests and eating hand-grilled meat are the grassland herdsmen's expression of respect and love for their guests.

When we set foot on the grassland and walked into the homes of the Menggu people, the hospitable Menggu people would pour the wine in a silver bowl or a golden cup, hold it on the long hata, sing a moving toast song, and entertain the guests from afar to express their sincere feelings.

At this point, the guest should immediately catch the wine and return it to the host if he can, and if he can't drink a little. If you push, push, pull, pull, and don't drink, you will be considered to look down on the master, unwilling to meet with sincerity, and so on. The enthusiasm of the host often makes the guests feel difficult to say goodbye and feel nostalgic.

"Come, Lu Tian and Xiao Xue welcome to our prairie as guests, this bowl of wine is for you, I wish our friendship will last forever, and I also wish you two a good harvest of love."

Not to mention, looking at Lao Su, who is five big and three thick, there is really material in his stomach, and the toast is not bad, after finishing speaking, he walked to Lu Tian's side and toasted Lu Tian with the first glass of wine.

"Thank you, Lao Su, and wish our friendship a long ......"

Lu Tian picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Xiao Xue also had a certain understanding of their customs, so she just took a small sip and stuck it down;

"Good man, Qiqige quickly cut the mutton and bring it over......" Su Hebaru saw Lu Tian drink it all, and immediately gave a thumbs up, and then asked his sister to quickly bring the mutton up.

This night, everyone had a good meal, and the two old men quickly finished their meal and returned to their houses, leaving a few young people to drink to their heart's content.

"Hehe, how about it, Lao Su, didn't you mean to pour me down? Now I finally know how good I am. "Several people took turns to get Lu Tian drunk, but they all seriously underestimated Lu Tian's amount of alcohol, and in the end, Lao Su and four or five of them were drunk by Lu Tian.
