Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Prairie Night Banquet

"I forgot about it when I got excited, hehe." Ulan Bari smiled innocently: "Eji, this is Brother Xiao Rong, this is his wife Yu Ling'er's sister, Brother Xiao saved me." ”

"Brother Xiao, this is my Eji, oh, Eji is Mongolian, which means mother."

"Hello Auntie, I'm Xiao Rong, I'm sorry to disturb you." Xiao Rong and Yu Ling'er stepped forward to greet each other, and at the same time handed over the wine, tea and other gifts they brought.

"Okay, okay, please come in." Ulaanbari's mother was obviously not good at words and did not speak Chinese fluently.

The door of the yurt is very low, and people have to bend down and bow their heads to enter, but after entering, they find that the inside is very spacious and bright, enough to accommodate dozens of people, Ulaanbari said that this is not big, and the larger ones can accommodate hundreds of people.

After sitting down, Ulaanbari's mother quickly brought hot milk tea, sweet and sour mare's milk, as well as milk skins, cheese, fried rice and other snacks, and said a few words to Ulaanbari in Mongolian before nodding to Xiao Rong and Yu Ling'er and leaving.

"Eji said that Abu and the eldest brother will be back soon, and she is going to clean up and let me accompany you." Ulaanbari explained to the two: "Abu means father in Mongolian. ”

The two tasted the special snacks of the Mongolian people curiously, Yu Ling'er was not used to drinking milk tea with salt, but she was very fond of sweet and sour mare's milk; Xiao Rong especially likes to eat milk skin and fried rice, and eats a lot in one go.

After some time, the barking of cattle and sheep outside, the neighing of people and horses, and the barking of sheepdogs began to sound and get closer and closer.

"Abu, they're back, big brother and sister-in-law, sit down for a while, I'll help." Ulan Bari jumped up, said a word and hurried out of the city.

After a long while, just when Xiao Rong was bored and wanted to go out to have a look, a hearty laugh came from outside the yurt, and as the felt was lifted, Ulan Bari and two burly Mongolian men walked in.

"Welcome to Lakshin, guests from afar." The old man in front of him was about sixty years old, burly, with a big beard on his bronzed face, and shouted enthusiastically.

"Brother Xiao, this is my father." Ulan Bari introduced, and pointed to the man beside him: "This is my eldest brother Ilad." ”

Ilad looked very similar to Ulaanbari, only darker and more robust, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and greeted Xiao Rong and the others with a smile.

Everyone sat down, just exchanged a few words, the felt was lifted again, and a young woman rushed in, and as soon as she came in, she said with a smile: "Ulaanba is back, is Jiangnan fun?" Did you bring me a gift? ”

Then leaned over to Ilad's side: "Brother, I heard that there are guests at home, these are the two, right?" He Saibainu. ”

"This is Solon Gaova, 'Tasaibainu' means hello." Iled explained to Xiao Rong, and then said to Solon Gaova: "You go and help Eji kill a sheep to entertain the guests, and I will go buy some wine." ”

"It's good, Bai Yiritai." Solon Gaova nodded to Xiao Rong and the others, and walked out of the hall with Iled.

Xiao Rong and the others couldn't understand what she said, so they had to nod blankly, and Ulan Bari explained when he saw this: "She is meeting you again." ”

"Oh, didn't you say you only have one brother, why did you come out with another sister?" Xiao Rong asked puzzled.

"Sister, what sister, do you mean Zoro Gaova?"

"yes, wasn't she just called Brother Ilad?"

"Ha Luha, Brother Xiao, you misunderstood, he is my sister-in-law, and all the women here call their husbands like this."

"Really? It's pretty good, I'm lonely and unheard, see and laugh! ”

It soon got dark, and Iled also came back, bringing back several large bags of fine wine, which were dozens of catties, and Xiao Rong was stunned to watch.

Sauron Gaowa and his wife also served roasted whole sheep, hand-grilled meat, mare's milk wine and various dairy products, looking at the whole sheep kneeling in the square wooden plate with golden red color and complete body shape, Xiao Rong couldn't help but drool secretly.

"The refreshing wine tastes beautiful, it's like the water of the West River, for your relatives to prepare, let's have a toast! The children are diligent and diligent in holding cool water in both hands, and there is respect in the wine, let's all have a toast! ”

Just when Xiao Rong looked at the roasted whole sheep and drooled, Lakshen picked up the bowl and sang, and gave the wine bowl to Xiao Rong, which was taught by Ulan Bari, Xiao Rong took the bowl and dipped the ring finger of his right hand in the wine to the "three bullets", that is, one is "May the blue sky be peaceful", the second is "May the earth be peaceful", and the third is "May the world be peaceful", and then raise a glass and drink it all.

Everyone applauded, the banquet just began, everyone cut the mutton with a knife and eaten, Sauron Gaowa hurriedly poured mare's milk wine, Xiao Rong looked at the mare's milk wine with a snow-white color and a faint frankincense, but he was really embarrassed in his heart, this mare's milk wine looked very attractive, but it tasted with a sour and astringent taste from animal sweat glands, which was really not delicious.

"Uncle Lakshin, I'm a little unaccustomed to this mare's milk wine, can I drink liquor?" Xiao Rong thought that he would not be surprised with his bold and sincere character, so he simply said it straight to the point.

"Yes, we were negligent." Rakshin hurriedly said apologetically: "Zorongova, quickly take Halk (soju)." ”

Replacing it with liquor, Iled picked up the wine again, put his hands together, and sang to Xiao Rong: "The gold cup, the silver cup is full of wine, the hands are raised above the head, fried rice, milk tea, hand-grilled meat, sing enough today." Friend, friend, please taste this wine pure, this wine is thick......"

"Guests from afar, please don't go, the gracious grassland will leave you, the shining silver bowl is held high, please drink a glass of Mongolian wine." Xiao Rong just drank all the wine that Ilad toasted, and Ulan Bari picked up the wine and sang again, Xiao Rong still toasted without hesitation, which made everyone feel good about him, and the favorite of the Mongolian people is the bold and brave man.

On this night, the guests and hosts were happy, the men were all drunk, even Xiao Rong with a unicorn space was no exception, in this atmosphere, the tactful singing was integrated into the aroma of wine, which made people feel refreshed; The mellow wine blends with the soulful singing, which makes people drink happily; Xiao Rong had long forgotten everything, poured down a glass of fine wine, and finally fell to the ground drunk.

When they woke up on the second day, the Lakshen family had fully recognized and accepted Xiao Rong and Yu Ling'er, treating them as their own family, and Ulan Bari even invited them to go grazing together, and the two readily agreed.

Xiao Rong always thought that the grassland was unconcealed and flat, and it was not until today that he realized that he had taken it for granted. drove the sheep to the pasture, only to see that under the sky, a thousand miles away, but not boundless. There are hillocks on all sides, the flat land is green, and the hillocks are also green.
