Zheng Dabao specially drove a car in person and invited Wang Qian and Zhang Can to sit in his car, he wanted to talk to Wang Qian and Zhang Can more, although this Zhang Can is young, but he is definitely the most discerning person he has seen so far.

Su Xue couldn't say anything and followed Zhang Can's side, Wang Qian saw that his niece obviously wanted to sit in a car with them, so he smiled and sat in the front passenger seat, side by side with Zheng Dabao, Zhang Can sat in the back, and Su Xue got into the car and sat beside him.

Originally, Zhu Linlin was going to sit with Zhang Can, but after seeing Su Xue and Zhang Can sitting together, he was embarrassed to squeeze again, mainly because his figure was too huge, and it was no problem for three people to sit in the back row.

Su Xue saw that Zhu Forest went to another car with interest, so she didn't speak, there are so many cars, which one is sitting, and there is no need to squeeze, and in the bottom of her heart, where she and Zhang Can are sitting, if this big fat man squeezes in, it will be quite unpleasant.

There was also a subordinate who took Zheng Dabao's black wind mastiff into the car, Zheng Dabao smiled and said: "Black wind is like my relatives, it follows me wherever I go, never throws away it, it has saved my life several times!" ”

The car drove out from Shizhuzi Township, got on a highway and went to the west, only a few minutes away, the scenery in front of me took a 180-degree change, everywhere is a desert-like situation, a yellow-brown broken, and a rolling snow-capped mountain is seen in the distance, the scenery of the snow-capped mountain is quite beautiful.

Zheng Dabao pointed to the snow-capped mountain in front of him and smiled: "It looks close, right?" Hehehe, in fact, there are more than 200 kilometers here, close at hand, but far away in the sky, this is the characteristic of our desert scenery! ”

Hearing that it was hundreds of kilometers away, Zhang Can and Su Xue were still a little surprised, this did not seem to be far away, but Zhang Can was relieved when he thought about it, this was the same as his situation at sea, he obviously saw the coastline, but the real distance was actually at least more than 100 kilometers away.

The road is a little crooked, the Hummer car can't drive at full speed, and the dust is extremely heavy, Su Xue and Zhang Can hurriedly pressed the window glass up, and from the back window of the car, the dust and fog twisted by the wheels raised five or six meters high, so the car behind can't follow too closely, to leave more than ten meters away, the distance between the five cars is almost more than 100 meters away.

Along the way, Zheng Dabao was talking to Zhang Can about this and that, Zhang Can also answered seriously, Zheng Dabao asked most of the questions such as antique identification, but before he saw the real thing, Zhang Can only answered with experience, and without the real thing to give him perspective, it can be said that his strong point is completely unexpressed.

An hour later, several people in the car, except for Zheng Dabao, who was driving, the other three people fell asleep, and under the long journey, this energy was still quite depleted.

It wasn't dark yet, but when it was almost dark, the five Hummer convoys arrived at their destination, the edge of the desert, and then there were rolling mountains, but there was no snow on the mountains at the bottom of the mountain, and when they got closer, those snow-covered mountains looked no different from what they saw before, and they seemed to be right in front of them, but if you really want to get up, it is far from being so simple.

As soon as the car stopped, the sleeping people in the car woke up, Zhang Can and Su Xue opened the car door and jumped out of the car, while everyone else also got out of the car, including the black wind, and quickly ran to Zheng Dabao's side, licking his legs, very affectionate.

Zheng Dabao patted its head, shouted, and then went to the right, Zhang Can and Su Xue followed and looked over, there was a large herd of cattle and sheep, at least thousands of heads, on this side, there was a stream flowing down from the mountain, and it was different if there was water, and there was a large area of grassland that could not be seen.

In a flat meadow, there are dozens of tents, and on the edge of the herd, there are more than a dozen people scattered on horseback to guard the herd, and a dozen shepherd dogs run around, chasing the scattered calves and lambs back to the large herd, very responsible.

Zheng Dabao smiled and said: "It's here, this is my old book, everyone will spend the night here tonight, and tomorrow we will set off on foot, and we will have a barbecue meeting tonight!" ”

After Zheng Dabao finished speaking, he instructed his subordinates to prepare, and the herdsmen also came over on horseback and greeted Zheng Dabao, but the words they said were all Xinjiang dialect, and Zhang Can and they couldn't understand it.

But it can be seen that Zheng Dabao obviously asked them to prepare tents for accommodation while dividing people to go out to slaughter cattle and sheep, which is what the herdsmen often do, and they do not hesitate.

Uyghur and Hui people, as well as the living habits of the Tibetan ethnic minorities, are basically a knife in each person's hand, the knife was given by the father at a very young age, the knife is very sharp, and it is a nomadic people, so it is bold by nature, the body is strong, but it is also more dangerous, carrying a knife is their living habits, and it is also licensed by the state, and ordinary people are never allowed to carry knives with them when they go to the mainland, but these ethnic minorities can, because they have been living habits like this since childhood, and eating and drinking are inseparable from knives.

Zhang Can had never seen cattle and sheep slaughtered, and was very curious to follow to the small river, where the water of the river was very clear, and occasionally he saw fish with short bodies swimming flexibly in the water.

Squatting down, Zhang Can took a handful of water to his mouth, the water was a little cold, it seemed to be a little sweet, and then look at the place where the river stretched far away, the river was red and green on both sides, the grass was green and fat, there were many small flowers, the scenery was very beautiful, and the desert appearance I saw before was definitely two things.

More than a dozen herdsmen and the five subordinates brought by Zheng Dabao caught cattle and sheep together and slaughtered them, Zhang Can has been watching, Su Xue also followed closely, Zhu Linlin also ran over with his fat body, only Wang Qian did not come, Zheng Dabao accompanied him to talk in the tent.

This slaughtering situation is far different from the pig killing that Zhang Can has seen in the mainland, Zhang Can's hometown, his parents have to feed the pig every year to slaughter during the New Year, when killing the pig, after inviting the butcher to come, he quickly boiled several large pots of boiling water, several people pressed the pig to the bench, the butcher stabbed the pig killing knife into the pig's throat, released the pig's blood and caught it with a basin, and then got the boiling water into the large wooden tank, and then lifted the killed pig to the tank to roll, and then the boiling water scalded the pig body after the shaved hair, and then lifted out after the shaved hair, The final process is to cut it into small pieces piece by piece and hang it in the room with fireworks, which is Tujia's bacon.

The method of slaughtering these people is different, the killing is almost the same, cutting the throat with a knife, draining the blood, and then hanging the cattle and sheep on the erected trunk rack, skinning, and cleaning the internal organs.

In particular, the process of peeling is the most careful, a skin is peeled completely, after the production zuò comes out, the price will be much higher in the future, this alone, Zheng Dabao's annual income is more than several million, of course, this is just the old foundation of his family, of course, it is not this that really made a fortune, but after making a fortune, he does not have to put aside his old business, because he is still making money.

Some herders set up several large fires, each with a barbecue grill on top of it, and then roasted the six cattle and three sheep that had been slaughtered.

Zhang Can looked carefully, they had already cut a lot of small holes in the meat with a knife before the barbecue, and sprinkled a lot of condiments and salt powder, so that it could better absorb the flavor, but it was still a whole without cutting the meat.

Not long after the barbecue, the pungent fragrance rushed into the nose, it was indeed very fragrant, a lot of butter oozed from the skin layer of the cattle and sheep, and it fell into the fire drop by drop, and the flames sounded loudly, and the golden epidermis looked extremely appetizing, which led Zhang Can and Zhu Linlin and the seven bodyguards in front of the king to swallow saliva, this thing is too appetizing, it is really more tempting than any food in the restaurant.

These herdsmen have been living like this all their lives, and they have been doing it for decades.

However, Zhang Can was a little curious and asked, "How can you slaughter so many?" Just those of us, why can't we eat so much? You can't eat a cow. ”

One of the barbecue Muslims replied: "This is what Boss Zheng wants to prepare, you will eat it after you go up the snow mountain, he has prepared some dry food, and this is to prepare some fresh food, saying that you should prepare at least ten days to half a month's food, but there are sixteen or seventeen people in total, which is not much." ”

Although the herdsmen are not very fluent in Chinese, they still understand it, and it is clear that they are not the most remote ethnic minorities, and there are some languages that they do not understand or speak except their own language.

At this time, Zheng Dabao also walked out with Wang Qian, and asked his subordinates to bring a leather cushion to each of them to the fire, and then everyone sat down around the fire, and then gave each of them a knife.

In fact, this knife can be called a dagger, which is naturally different from the mainland, Zhang Can has never used a dagger, and has only used a kitchen knife and a fruit knife, this dagger looks sharp.

The barbecue has been roasted for nearly an hour, while the barbecue is still adding condiments, until the epidermis of the cattle and sheep is golden and clear, no longer dripping oil, and it is in the layer of scorching and unscorched, then I started to cut it, and cut a piece of meat with a knife that weighs at least two or three catties, and then presented it to everyone.

Zheng Dabao knew that Zhang Can, Zhu Linlin and others had definitely not eaten like this, because they had different views on Zhang Can, so they also said enthusiastically: "Xiao Zhang, haven't you eaten like this?" Hehe, come on, come on, I'll teach you! ”

Saying that, Zheng Dabao took out the knife, stabbed the knife on the piece of meat, and then took a hard bite to the side of his mouth, biting a large piece of meat into his mouth, and the oil flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he was very happy to chew and enjoyed it.

Zhang Can was already hungry, so he was polite, and the others also made their moves, stabbing the meat with a knife and handing it to his mouth and chewing it, without any Sven looks.

Only Su Xue didn't take a large piece of meat, but just cut a small piece of the whole sheep hanging to eat, and then cut it after eating.

Originally, Zheng Dabao and they hated the guest the most, but Su Xue was a girl and the niece of the king, so she didn't care.

Zhang Can took a bite in his mouth, although the oil juice splashed and flowed down the corners of his mouth, but it was really delicious, he didn't expect it to taste so good, when he was in Jincheng before, he also went to the stall night market to eat Xinjiang people's barbecue lamb skewers, and the taste was good, but compared with now, it was still worse.

Zheng Dabao and others were eating a lot while wiping the oil juice from the corners of their mouths with their sleeves, and Zhang Can understood why the sleeves of Xinjiang people were so greasy, it turned out that they all came like this.

"Get the wine out!" Zheng Dabao ate barbecue, and then ordered his subordinates to go to the tent to get wine out, Zhang Can thought it was packed in a leather bag, and saw on TV that Mongolians and Hui Tibetans all use leather bags to hold wine, but Zheng Dabao's subordinates took out a large copper kettle, and the spout was still steaming, and the wine was actually heated with a kettle, and the other two people came out with a large stack of bowls.

Zheng Dabao said with a "haha" smile: "Drinking wine requires bowls, wine requires burning knives, and burning knives requires boiling!" ”

A few gentlemen also made fun of Wang Qian, and said: "Lao Zheng, I have only been in the mainland for a few years, but I have learned some slang, and I know how to call me, haha!" ”

Zheng Dabao smiled again, opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the beautiful Su Xue again, with a sneering face, he forcibly swallowed the words, and just poured the wine when he lifted the pot.
