Chapter 366: Catching Fish in the Prairie
Chapter VII
The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
This sentence comes from the Song of Eile, is a folk song circulated among the North Korean ethnic groups north of the Yellow River during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of our country, after many singers cover it, using lyrics, and finally popular all over the north and south of the river, in fact, this sentence describes the life of the nomadic people in the north, the life of the steppe......
At this time, Tang Dashao and Wang Jun took Zheng Yating and Tang Ruyan, followed by two bodyguards, Ah Hu and Ah Leopard, and were galloping on the endless prairie......
Why do they appear on the grasslands?
This has to start from three days ago, three days ago, after Tang Dashao showed Tang Lao the things he brought from the black market, Tang Lao was jealous of Tang Dashao, of course, he would not admit this Tang Lao......
Subsequently, Tang Dashao attributed Zheng Yating's difficulties to his own difficulties, and then went to Tang Lao to 'complain', but it didn't work out, Tang Lao really had some ways, and he still contacted the Jade King of Hotan, Xinjiang......
According to what Tang Lao said, this Jade Lord and him have also been friends for decades, of course, this is purely a personal education, after understanding Tang Dashao's difficulties, he wrote a letter to Tang Dashao at the moment, and asked Tang Dashao to take this letter to find the Jade Prince, although it cannot be said that the Jade Lord will release more jade raw materials, but it is definitely okay to take care of it a little, of course, this is Tang Lao's statement......
In Tang Dashao's opinion, this letter is simply a purchase permit for jade raw materials, so he doesn't believe that the jade prince will pry Tang Lao's face, but what Tang Dashao doesn't understand is that this matter will be over with a phone call, why do you have to get a letter out?
Tang Dashao is puzzled, and it is not easy to ask Tang Lao, but he is worried about the boredom of being idle at home, and it is not bad to go to Xinjiang Hotan, it is considered to be a tourist relaxation, it is said that Xinjiang's barbecue is very famous, and Brazilian barbecue, Turkish barbecue is equally famous, Tang Dashao has also eaten Xinjiang barbecue in Haishi, but the name is not authentic, if you want to eat authentic Xinjiang barbecue, you can also go to Xinjiang local ......
Speaking of this snack, authentic or not, in fact, Tang Dashao is very confused, a Xinjiang person made a barbecue in Xinjiang, everyone will not say that he is not authentic, but once he goes to other places, the barbecue made must not be authentic......
It's like Shanxi mutton steamed buns, no matter how delicious you eat in other places, it is not authentic, you have to go to Shaanxi to eat authentic, and the same is true for Peking duck......
With the old man's letter, originally according to Tang Dashao's meaning and Wang Jun, and then took Ah Hu and Ah Leopard, drove all the way to Xinjiang, and looked at the scenery along the way, but I didn't think that Zheng Yating and Tang Ruyan also insisted on going, so they denied the self-driving tour, and changed to do airplanes......
Fortunately, the Wang family has a big business, and even has an office in Urumqi, Xinjiang, so they called the office in Urumqi in advance and asked them to arrange it......
When they came to Urumqi, Tang Dashao and others did not go directly to Hotan, but first walked around to feel the scenery of nature, and finally came to the prairie hundreds of kilometers away from the city, found a herdsman as a tour guide, and then rented a few horses......
If it is riding, the best one is Zheng Yating, followed by the two brothers Ah Hu and Ah Bao, then Wang Jun and Tang Ruyan, and finally Tang Dashao......
Xiangjiang is popular to bet on horses, there are many horse farms, many rich people will raise a few thoroughbred horses, when there is nothing to do, the Zheng family is no exception, Zheng Yating used to be in Xiangjiang when there was nothing to do, she liked to walk two laps, so the riding skills are quite good, and there are special teachers to teach.
Needless to say, Ah Hu and Ah Leopard brothers are also from the special forces, so they have to know a little bit about everything, right? Although he is not a professional knight, he has no problem driving horses.
As for Wang Jun and Tang Ruyan, they occasionally go to the racecourse in Shanghai to run two laps, where the horses are all trained, even if they have no foundation, they can ride them......
In the end, Tang Dashao, who was forced to ride a horse for the first time, specially selected a group of docile mares, and finally mastered a little riding trick after more than half an hour of running-in under the leadership of the tour guide Muhana......
Looking at Na Muhana, at least, it was as if he was riding a bicycle, fiddling with how he wanted, fiddling with all kinds of postures, Zheng Yating and Ah Hu and Ah Bao brothers also seemed to be at ease, although Tang Ruyan and Wang Jun's expressions were not as smooth as theirs, they were not as good as him......
"Mr. Tang, relax, relax, remember the tips I just told you about riding horses, horses are spiritual, let the horses know your kindness, understand what you mean, the waist should sink slightly, feel the ups and downs of the horses when they run, and you can quickly learn how to control the horses along the ups and downs." Muhana next to him kept explaining the essentials of horseback riding to Tang Dashao.
Tang Dashao learned things very quickly, and after Muhana's guidance and his own exploration, he quickly mastered the know-how, and the group ran along the prairie under the leadership of Muhana......
After about half an hour, the horses were all out of breath, obviously a little tired, Wang Jun said to Muhana: "Mr. Muhana, we have been running for a long time, and the horses are also tired, do you want to find a place to rest?" Is there a water source nearby? Feed the horses some water. ”
"Hehe, Mr. Wang, I am now taking you to the water source, this grassland is very vast, only familiar herdsmen can accurately find the location of the water source." Muhana laughed.
"It turns out that Mr. Muhana is already thinking about it, but I have a lot of trouble." Wang Jun laughed at himself.
"It is rare for Mr. Wang to notice that the horses are tired, and over the years, I have received many tourists from the mainland, and few people pay as much attention to the condition of the horses as Mr. Wang." Muhanna shook his head.
While a few people were talking, Tang Dashao suddenly saw that there seemed to be something in front of him and shook his eyes, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Water source, there seems to be a water source in front, it's a small river." ”
"Hehe, Mr. Tang's observation is really keen, yes, there is a small river in front of it, this river is the lifeline of this grassland, there are several tributaries, all over the whole grassland that gave birth to this grassland, all the people and animals on the grassland, wolves, wild horses, sheep, etc. will come here to drink.
A few minutes later, they came to this small river, this river is really not very big, it looks like it is only five or six meters wide, it is not in a hurry, the water is crystal clear, the riverbed grows dense aquatic plants, and occasionally you can see a few swimming fish swimming in the water, crossing an arc, making a wave......
"The scenery here is so beautiful." Zheng Yating closed her eyes slightly and felt the breath of nature and grass, and said softly.
"Well, it's very beautiful, the sea market can not be seen in the mainland, the vast prairie, which is refreshing." Tang Ruyan nodded.
Tang Dashao and the others got off the horse, the horse was overjoyed when he saw the river, and came to the river to drink a lot, Tang Dashao and the others also took out the water bladder and gently took a few sips.
"Mr. Muhana, I just heard you say that all the creatures of the savannah come here to drink, do you think we will run into wolves?" Tang Dashao asked.
Muhana's face was a little unsightly when he heard this: "Mr. Tang, please be cautious, the prairie is spiritual, and some words cannot be said lightly, otherwise it is likely to happen." ”
Tang Da rarely saw Muhana so solemn, although he was grateful that he was a little superstitious, but it was the truth, and he didn't say anything more.
"Mr. Muhana, can you catch fish here?" Wang Jun asked.
"Of course, in fact, I'm going to treat you to grilled fish in a moment." Muhana said.
"Eat grilled fish? Mr. Muhana, we didn't bring fishing nets when we came, how can we catch fish? Wang Jun asked puzzled.
"Hehe, catch fish here, don't use fishing nets." Munahan laughed.
"Don't use fishing nets? Can you still catch fish with your bare hands? Tang Dashao was interested when he heard this.
"Of course not, you'll find out in a moment." Muhanna smiled mysteriously, came to the river, plucked a slender leaf from a grass by the river, and rubbed it vigorously for a while, in the center of the leaf there were only some slender fibers, these fibers had no color, some were translucent, and looked like thin white threads.
"Mr. Muhana, are you going to use this thing to catch fish?" Tang Dashao wondered.
"That's right, this is it." Muhanna smiled and nodded, then took something from his horse, applied it to the transparent fiber, and then found a suitable place, squatted down, folded the blade of grass into a circle, and took the top and bottom, and the middle part of the fiber was placed in the creek......
After a while, the swimming fish in the small river seemed to ask about the taste, and scrambled to swim over, one of the fish bit the fiber, and the fine fiber was stuck in the mouth of the fish......
Tang Dashao, Wang Jun and others who watched this scene were a little dumbfounded, Nima, is this okay?
You don't need a fishing net, you don't need a hook or a rod, you can catch such a big fish with grass leaves?
In an instant, Tang Dashao felt as if his outlook on life had been changed......
"Mu, Mr. Muhana, you are amazing!" I couldn't find any other words, Tang Dashao stammered a little.
"Am I amazing? Hehe, it's not that I'm good, it's our ancestors who are good, they invented this method of catching fish, I just learned the skills they left behind. Muhana shook his head and smiled.
