Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rasmedo
From the day. I wish the county town to come, and the car will travel on the township road.
The township road is a cement road, which is easy to walk, but after walking for a while, entering the mountainous area, the cement road becomes a dirt road.
The dirt roads in the mountains are rough and very difficult to walk. Fortunately, the desert truck performed well, otherwise it would have been scrapped a long time ago.
In the middle of the mountains, there are vast mountains on both sides, and there is a mountain stream below. The sky here is exceptionally blue, and the air is exceptionally fresh. The car drove forward for a while, and Cai Hongming told Tuoba Niu to stop, and then the mountain road gradually became smaller and more rugged and difficult, so it was better for the car to stop here. In the past, he stopped here when he came over, and then drove away when he returned. The mountains are sparsely populated, and sometimes you are unlucky enough to run into a single person in a month, so you don't have to worry about your car being stolen.
After getting out of the car, the group continued to move on.
The scenery of late autumn is so charming, the woods next to the mountain road are golden, white, ochre, dark purple, dark green leaves fall to the ground, the thick leaves are hard to weave the woods into a colorful and beautiful carpet, which makes people pause, make people nostalgic, and make people forget to return. But Songna was so anxious to return home that she didn't pay any attention to the scenery on the side of the road and walked away.
After walking through an "S"-shaped winding mountain road and climbing a hillside, you will see the village of "Lasmedo", where Songna's family is located.
Rasmedo, in Tibetan, means a place where flowers bloom or fairies descend to earth.
If spring comes, you will see the colorful wildflowers on the slopes and valleys here, the violet grass is purple, and the leatherleaf artemisia is as white as snow waves. It's a pity that it is late autumn now, the grass on the ground has turned yellow, the wildflowers have long faded their petals and turned into seeds, or buried in the ground, or with the wind**, and the verdant woods on the edge of the forest have also been bleak, and colorful fallen leaves are spread all over the ground.
In front of the village of Rasmedo there is a small clear lake, and a stream from the Great Snow Mountains meanders down the mountains all year round.
This is the source of life in the village, and the people of the village treat it the same way as their mothers, and every Chinese New Year's Eve of the Tibetan calendar, a grand celebration is held by the lake to repay the great mother's nurturing grace.
Approaching the village, a row of white pagodas appears on the side of the road, built entirely of stone towers, and the bottom is surrounded by inlaid with beautiful engravings about Buddhist stories. Further on, there is the house where the people of the village of Rasmetor live. Built on the hill and stacked with stone slabs, these cottages look quaint and chic, exuding a deep, heavy and steady atmosphere.
When she got home, Songna suddenly galloped forward like a wild horse, but saw Abba already waiting at the entrance of the village with her brother Raba.
Cai Hongming hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Uncle Basang, why did you come out?" ”
"When the guests come, how can there be any reason for the host to sit at home." Basang smiled heartily and welcomed Cai Hongming and the others into the living room of the house.
The living room table is already ready with food, roast lamb, tsamba, cheese, all kinds of fried food and hot milk tea.
Basang's home is decorated with typical Tibetan culture, and when Cai Hongming and the others sat down, Songna's mother took a copper kettle to pour them the hot milk tea that had been prepared for them. It's noon when I come here, and after walking for a while, my physical energy is exhausted, and it is undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing to sit down and drink a sip of hot milk tea and eat something.
Songna's family was originally considered a medium-sized family in the village.
However, once when his Abba Basang went to the mountains to graze, he accidentally fell into a ravine, causing several ribs and calves to break, so he spent a lot of money, casting a shadow on this family that was not wealthy. In the end, he spent all his money and scraped together to get the medical expenses.
Although Basang's injuries were later healed, life at home became difficult.
Although Songna and her younger brother study in the town school, they do not have to pay tuition, but because they are too far from home, they have to board in the town, so they have boarding fees, textbook fees, food expenses and other expenses. Although this money is not much, it is not a big burden for this already poor family. So, Songna dropped out of school to work and let her younger brother go to school. Later, she went to Cai Hongming's barbecue stall to help, and with the money she earned, the family slowly improved.
Cai Hongming learned that their sheep were sold very cheaply during a conversation with Song Na, and of course he also had the idea of helping them, so he drove to them to buy sheep.
Later, when he got acquainted, he built yìbasang to raise white yaks.
Although sheep can be sold relatively quickly, the climate in the mountainous areas is changeable, and sometimes the sheep can freeze to death when it suddenly snows, and more people die in winter, and the sheep are more troublesome to manage. Now the local government is building the white yak into a set of industrial promotion, and the price will gradually rise without worrying about the lack of sales. The important thing is that the yak is extensive and rough, hardy, and will not die lightly even in bad weather of fifty degrees.
After listening to Cai Hongming's words, coupled with his repeated statements about the purchase and the help of funds, Basang specially raised white yaks.
Later, Cai Hongming brought sweet potato and corn seeds from home for him to plant, but no one planted these things here, most of them planted barley and potatoes.
This is the thing that makes him speechless, and if it is a potato, can't he grow something else?
Sweet potatoes and corn can only be grown for one season in this climate, but they are also very good. Corn and sweet potatoes have high yields and are good feeds. After the corn is harvested, it can be eaten by itself or fed to cattle, and the corn stalks can also be crushed and fed to cattle; Not to mention sweet potatoes, which can be eaten almost all over the body. In winter, when there is no grass to feed the cattle, corn and sweet potatoes can be used. If you master it well, you don't have to buy feed all year round, and you save a lot of money. The cattle raised in this way basically do not cost much.
So after a few years, the people in the village saw that it was profitable, and they all switched to yak farming.
Speaking of which, whether it is sheep or cattle here, there are dealers who come to buy them, but because it is a remote mountainous area, the price is often very low, and the villagers really have very little money, so they have been living very poorly. It wasn't until Cai Hongming arrived and raised the price of buying sheep that the people in Lasmedo Village slowly became rich.
After drinking hot tea and eating, the originally empty stomach is full, and the person is much more energetic.
At this time, Cai Hongming asked Basang: "Uncle Basang, is the yak I want ready?" ”
"I'll get it when you're ready."
Cai Hongming nodded, he was very relieved to have been doing business here for so long, knowing that the people here were simple and would not be boring. After thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle Basang, if there is a little white yak next year, please keep one for me, I want to take it back to raise." ”
It's funny to say, after seeing the white, pure and lovely white yak in the scenic spot for the first time, he felt that this thing was the messenger on the sacred mountain, and it could not be desecrated, let alone eaten. But when he saw the farmer's white yak, he immediately abandoned this idea. The white yaks raised by the farmer are completely different from those in the scenic spot, they are sloppy and dirty, not to mention the lumps of soil in the east and west, and the original white fur has turned black. It's no different from a normal cow, so he can eat it with peace of mind.
He just remembered the cow in the scenic spot, the cow's hair was combed softly, washed white, and looked pure and flawless, so he wanted to raise one by himself to play.
When Basang heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem, I will definitely prepare you with the strongest calf." ”
