There are three routes to take from Gulang to Qinghai Lake.

One is to take a small road, which can go straight from Gulang to Qinghai Lake. The road is relatively close, but some of it is a remote dirt road, and the road condition is not very good.

There were a group of people in the car, and Cai Hongming didn't dare to take such a road.

One is to take the national highway, the national highway is better, but the road is winding and winding, and the speed is very slow.

The third is to take the expressway, the same as the national highway, first to Lanzhou, and then through the Beijing-Tibet Expressway to Xining to transfer to Qinghai Lake. Although this route is longer than the trail, it is also very fast because of the high speed of the whole journey, and it is more reassuring to walk. So Cai Hongming, they took the high speed.

This time, Cai Hongming and they drove two Knight XV, a modified Hummer and a desert truck, all the way to the mighty, I don't know how many people died in their eyes.

Especially the golden knight XV of the sao bag, wherever he drove, the mighty figure and the golden color of the local tyrant will attract a group of onlookers.

Someone took a photo directly and posted it on meager and WeChat, and some people will think it's PS if one person sends it, if it's a bunch of people, it must be true. The Internet began to make a fuss, and they all speculated where the local tyrants came from.

Of course, they don't know these Cai Hongming.

It was very tiring to sit in the car, especially staying in the car all day, Chu Chu, who was very excited, gradually turned into a wilted chicken, and when the car drove to Lanzhou, he had already fallen asleep.

In fact, Gulang is not very far from Qinghai Lake, and it is only six or seven hours away by high-speed, but the road from the farm to Wuwei was delayed for a while, and when it arrived in Xining, it was already dark. They stayed at the Qinghai Victory Hotel. It used to be a state guesthouse, mainly to entertain national leaders, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, but now it has gradually become a commoner.

It's still early. After a day in the car, it is not realistic to go to bed immediately, so Cai Hongming put their things away, freshen up a little, and go out shopping to eat something by the way.

Xining snacks are famous in the local area. Cai Hongming and the others turned around and came to a beef noodle shop called Eighteen Sons.

Although this shop says that it is a beef noodle shop, it is not beef noodles that are famous, but Kang potatoes and Kang mutton.

The potatoes are boiled in a soup made from mutton and beef bones, then drizzled with chili oil and fried in a pancake oven. When served, it is sprinkled with spices and chopped green onions, and it has a peculiar aroma. Thanks to the addition of chili oil, the fried potato wedges are very fragrant, and they have to go down in one bite, rustling. Squishy. The salty flavor of Wagyu beef and sheep has penetrated into the potatoes, so they have a surprising deliciousness.

The practice of kang mutton is similar to that of iron plate mutton, vermicelli mutton, and boiled mutton.

The mutton of this kang mutton is cooked first, and then fried in mutton fat when the guests want, and then cooked with vegetables and vermicelli, and when it is served, it is still a big pot with hot air and aroma! There is almost no soup in it, it is all meat, which is very enjoyable to eat.

Xining is the capital of Qinghai Province. Qinghai Animal Husbandry is one of the five major pastoral areas in China and an important animal husbandry production base.

The grassland area of the province is 36,449,400 hectares, accounting for 53.6% of the province's area. The grassland has a capacity of 23 million heads (only). Among them, there are more than 5 million yaks, known as the "boat of the snowy mountains". close to half of the country; More than 14 million sheep. It is precisely because of the developed animal husbandry here that the beef and mutton here will be good and cheap.

Cai Hongming and his party had a lot of people, and only two dishes would definitely not work, so he asked the owner to make these two dishes into large portions for several people, and ordered a hometown chicken and some beef noodles.

It was rare to eat authentic Xining snacks, and Liu Chong, Hao Meili and others who came over with them buried their heads in eating them.

Shi Wan'er has a small belly. Can't eat much. Cai Hongming wanted to keep his stomach, so he made a heart, and just needed a bowl of beef noodles to eat with Shi Wan'er and Chu Chu.

After eating, Liu re-patted the bulging belly, feeling that this is a decent life.

Cai Hongming glanced at him. Smiled slightly, without explanation, and continued to lead them forward.

He wasn't familiar with this side either, but he had seen the map when he came, and he knew the road basically.

There is a very famous snack street in Xining, called Mojia Street, also called Mazhong Food City, which is full of all kinds of snacks. The most common are beef noodles, naan, stuffed skin, kebabs, flatbreads, and so on. I had just eaten lamb and beef noodles, so I wasn't very interested in the popular grilled naan, flatbread, beef noodles, kebabs, and other things. There were some different kinds of roast lamb intestines and haggis that attracted the attention of the two girls, Hao Meili and Tang Xiaojun, and they couldn't help but buy a few skewers to eat, and even Shi Wan'er bought a little.

So, there is such a phenomenon. The three girls, as they walked, ate a grilled lamb intestine or haggis or something like that, ignoring the strange eyes that looked around them.

After walking a few steps, Cai Hongming saw a stall selling freshly baked potato chips, so he bought a small bag to eat. I didn't want to be targeted by Chu Chu, and then it was gone.

"Mommy, Mommy, you see, there's Grandma." Chu Chu pointed to the bowls of yogurt on a stall next to him and said.

Because it is a major livestock production area, Xining's dairy industry is very developed, and there are many types of yogurt. Many of them are homemade by herdsmen and sold, so it is very common for them to be made into bowls and sold on the roadside. Although the yogurt on this stall is not as hygienic as the exquisite bottle box, it is often the most authentic Xining yogurt.

"It's yogurt, sour." Shi Wan'er explained.

"Can you drink it?" Chu Chu said curiously.

"Can be can, it's just that the child doesn't understand what sourness is, and Shi Wan'er doesn't know how to explain it to him."

"Buy her a taste." Cai Hongming said on the side, but he didn't like the taste of yogurt, so he asked Shi Wan'er: "Do you like to drink yogurt?" ”

Shi Wan'er shook her head.

He turned to Liu Chong and the others and asked, "Which of you likes to drink yogurt?" ”

"Me." Hao Meili raised her hand.

"Then you buy a bowl of yogurt and let Chu Chu take a sip to try it."

"Hmm."

So, Hao Meili went to buy a bowl of yogurt. The yogurt here is not worth much at all, a large bowl with a diameter of twelve or thirteen centimeters wide costs only two pieces of five, and a small bowl of five pieces is enough. After buying it, Hao Meili took the yogurt to Chu Chu to drink. Cai Hongming unscrupulously took out his high-definition camera phone and took a picture next to him.

The yogurt has a layer of yellow foam on the surface that appears to be oil droplets.

There is a reason for this layer of yellow, because yogurt made with highland milk with a high fat content is prone to precipitation of fine oils on the surface, that is, butter. This is also a sign of high-quality yogurt. Many people know this and will choose yogurt with butter on the surface to buy it. It's just that the road is one foot high, and many unscrupulous merchants use this to attract people and make a bowl of "fake yellow". The so-called false yellow is to wait for the yogurt to curdle, and then drip the butter on it, some of which are not even butter, but drizzled with yellow vegetable oil or yellow animal oil.

Inexperienced people, just by looking at it, it is really difficult to tell whether this is real butter or fake butter. (To be continued.) )
