Chapter 375: Visit
Old Adira is worthy of being a professional manor owner, his vision and judgment are first-class, and he is also full of confidence in the grape area of his estate, and sure enough, as he expected, Su Li and his party, who entered the manor at about nine o'clock in the morning, were really picking and eating and playing in the grape area, and before they knew it, it had been two or three hours. By the time they had finished their fun, it was already ten minutes past noon.
Old Adira was hospitable and specially prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain his old friends and Su Li and his party. Wine, pilaf, roasted whole sheep... Xinjiang Uygur special food entertains a lot of people, and the roast whole sheep that is often contacted on the grassland is different from the roast whole sheep in Xinjiang, which is a famous dish comparable to Yanjing roast duck and Guangzhou crispy suckling pig. When roasting whole sheep and selecting meat, special emphasis is placed on selecting sheep that grows in the drier areas of southern Xinjiang, and it is best to choose fat sheep within two years old, and the texture of the roasted mutton is tender and tasteless. The roasted whole sheep used by the old Adira to entertain a large number of people is a southern Xinjiang scorpion sheep, supplemented by eggs, turmeric, cumin, pepper, etc., the appearance is golden and buttery, the outer meat is brown and crispy, the inner meat is soft and tender, and the mutton is fragrant and fragrant, which is quite palatable and unique. Cumin powder, also known as benzoin fennel, is an aromatic seasoning of Xinjiang specialties and an indispensable seasoning for baked food!
The drink prepared by the old Adira for the girls is the famous Musailis, although it contains a trace of alcohol, but it is not wine, it is light coffee color, sweet and sour, fragrant smell, rich in nutrition, is a drink that is very popular among the Uyghur masses.
The sumptuous lunch amazed the whole roasted lamb. The group of people who were warm and welcoming to the old Adira were very glad that they did not eat the grapes as a meal after all. There is also room for the noon food, otherwise, wouldn't you miss another food.
Take a break at noon and listen to the old Adira tell the legends and stories of Xinjiang and the interesting stories of his past ups and downs. After the crowd's full stomach pouches were digested for a while, the group followed the old Adira to the cantaloupe area of his estate. From a distance, it is almost full of melon fields. The cantaloupe, which is full of golden or green silk, is even more fruitful, and there are countless of them.
Adila carried a knife with her. At that time, he picked a ripe melon for a group of people, cut it with a knife and distributed it to everyone. The entrance is sweet, the skin is really thin and the meat is fine, and the fragrance is rich. A rare item. In the field, the new melon is now picked, and it is really a fresh and delicious that cannot be expressed!
For cantaloupe, under the guidance of Adira, the group picked those melons and fruits with strong fragrance and moderate ripeness, which could not be as free as in the morning, after all, grapes could be eaten casually at this time. Cantaloupe has to be recognized, and ordinary people have little experience. But it is difficult to recognize what a good melon is. It's just that this may be a problem for others, but it is difficult for Su Li, who has the nourishment and protection of the origin energy, to identify all things, it is her specialty, not to mention that it is just a small problem of recognition maturity. With keen perception, she touched it accurately.
"Has the little girl ever studied? This eyesight is not simple! Old Adira praised with a smile, looking at Na Lisuojin, even if they have lived in the melon fields since they were children, picking and learning every year, few of them can reach this level at this age.
"A little bit of a small way, thanks to the skill, the old man is really powerful!" Compared to her need the assistance of perception, this old man is really sprinkled at a glance, the degree of neat melon moving, she said this shallowly, but the movements of her hands did not pause, perception is your instinct, there is no distraction, she gently cut off the melon in hand, picked up the melon in hand and handed it to her little sister, and continued to find the next one.
They have to keep some for supplies in the car, and they also have to send commemorative shares to their relatives at home, and the amount they need is really a lot. With the cooperation of Su Li, the speed of their picking is parallel, not slow, but they can't stand the variety of cantaloupe here, the taste is like fragrant pear, the sweet and crisp East Lake melon, the melon flesh is green, the quality is fine and juicy, the sweet and refreshing black eyebrows, the color is orange and red, crispy and juicy, the fragrant red heart is crisp, the color is golden, the shape is small, the meat is like mutton fat, the soft taste is sweet yellow eggs, the flesh is light red, the flesh is delicate, crispy and refreshing in the snow・・・・・
There are many varieties, and in addition, each variety has a separate area for each variety, so they eat and play before and after, plus picking, it also takes an hour or two, and then they go to the grapes to pick a lot of grapes freshly, and in the morning they only care about playing, plus they want the freshest, and they don't pick much. When they returned to the manor's rest area, which was also the old Adira's residential area, the sun was moving westward, and the temperature slowly dropped. There is a folk proverb in Xinjiang that says that you wear a leather jacket in the morning and wear yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove, which is the characteristic of Xinjiang is that there is more sand, and the specific heat capacity of the sand is relatively small, the sun irradiates the temperature faster, and the temperature drops down faster at night.
"Children, hurry up and add a coat, the temperature here is very cool, be careful of catching a cold!" After a day of contact, the old Adira and Su Li and his party also became familiar, and the title naturally became close, and once the heat of the work subsided, he couldn't help but remind with concern.
"Okay, Grandpa Adira, thank you for the reminder, we're really feeling a little cold!" The group was very obedient and each took a thin coat from the car and put it on, coping with the temperature that had begun to plummet.
"Grandpa Adira, there is a lot of talk today, please forgive me for being abrupt, Grandpa Adira, have you recently felt a little weakness in your limbs, a dull pain in the liver area, sometimes back pain in the traction, and sometimes it has been a while, right? Maybe it's not too obvious, you haven't had time to go to the hospital to have a look, have you? ”
"Hey, is Ah Li a healer? I really have these situations recently, some time ago, but at that time it was just in time to catch up with the grape cantaloupe hanging fruit, grouting, it is the time to pay attention, a carelessness will cause all the loss of the entire estate, these melons and fruits will lose their taste, indispensable to careful cooking, and I didn't care much! Isn't it due to old age and lack of energy? He thought that he was getting old and not as energetic as before, and it was time for him to serve the old. (To be continued.) )
