"That's ...... A look of contempt?'

Zhao Hongrun recalled what Mi Jiang saw in her eyes before she looked away, and it was obvious that the girl of the Zong tribe just now teased Zhao Hongrun, or said that she was showing her love to him, and this black-bellied woman must have seen it in her eyes.

"You can't be jealous, right?"

Zhao Hongrun turned his head and smiled maliciously at Jiang Evil.

Although it is not clear what the reason is, there is a tacit understanding between him and Mi Jiang as if there is a heart, but this tacit understanding is really incredible.

No, it was obvious that Zhao Hongrun didn't speak, but what he was thinking in his heart, Mi Jiang seemed to be aware of it, so that she suddenly turned her head again and glared at Zhao Hongrun indignantly, startling the latter.

"It's really uncomfortable, this kind of heart has a heart, it feels weird......

Zhao Hongrun scratched his face and gave up his plan to continue to provoke Qi Jiang, after all, he felt that the black-bellied woman was already surprisingly angry, or rather, ashamed.

At this time, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, Amutu, said a few words of the Zong dialect that Zhao Hongrun could not understand, and immediately, the girls of the Zong tribe who had just poured wine walked into the tent with a huge wooden plate, and what was contained in the wooden plate was a huge roasted whole sheep.

"That's a lamb?" How can it be so big?'

Zhao Hongrun was very puzzled, after all, it stands to reason that the lamb chosen for roasting lamb will not be so big, and he will almost remember the adult sheep of Shangwei Kingdom.

As if noticing Zhao Hongrun's puzzled look, Zhao Yuanyan explained in a low voice: "This is the red sheep." The people of the Qiang people regard it as a sheep of the treasure sheep. ”

"This is the Ibstard?"

Zhao Hongrun, who saw the real thing for the first time, nodded suddenly.

As far as he knew, sheep were sacred animals in the eyes of the Qiang people, or rather a divine object given by God.

In the case of the sheep, the people were able to obtain enough to survive in the barren grasslands.

For example, the clothes worn by the people are sheepskin jackets or sheepskin skirts sewn from sheepskin.

Another example is goat's milk wine, cheese, mutton, etc.

Even the bones and horns of sheep. The Qiang people can make full use of it: they make wine cups from the horns of sheep, sharpen the bones of sheep as the blades of spears, and it is no exaggeration to say that any part of a sheep's body can be fully utilized.

It is precisely because of the sheep that the people of the Qi people can survive even if they do not cultivate grain like the Wei people.

It is precisely because of this that the people of the Qiang people regard sheep as a sacred animal and have formulated many regulations and customs related to sheep.

Over here. Any activity and celebration of the Qiang people is inseparable from sheep.

At the same time, the people of the Qiang tribe are not allowed to harm the sheep without necessity, even if there is a conflict between the two tribes, they will never kill the sheep of the other tribe, this is a tacit rule.

Of all the sheep, the ibex, a horned sheep that is larger than the average sheep and has long white hair. It is regarded as a more sacred treasure sheep by the Qiang people, if it is not a major celebration, or if there is a distinguished guest. Otherwise, it will never be slaughtered.

It can be seen that Zhao Hongrun and his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan's VIP status in this Qingyang tribe is really not low.

As several young girls from the Qingyang tribe placed the wooden plate containing the roasted lamb on the ground, the patriarch Amutu picked up a small golden dagger and got up and walked towards the lamb.

This Zhao Hongrun understands: This is the custom of "sharing food".

In the older ethnic cultures, the habit of "sharing food" is still retained. For example, the Qiang people do not have the luxury of roasting many lambs at a time, giving each guest one hand, they will only pick a fatter lamb to slaughter and roast, and use a sharp meat knife to cut different parts of the meat from the lamb. According to the status of the guests, they will be distributed to the guests or family members who are entertaining.

In fact, the Wei people originally had this custom, for example, in the ritual of worshipping the heavens, the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, once cut the flesh and blood from the ox as a sacrifice, and offered the best flesh and blood to the "Heavenly Father" or "Earth Mother", and the rest of the flesh and blood were eaten by the courtiers and the people who watched the sacrifice.

This is the best example.

But it is undeniable that this custom of sharing food has gradually been forgotten in the Wei State, and will only be used when sacrificing heaven and earth.

Under the watchful eyes of the people in the tent, the patriarch Amutuma divided the lambs and divided them among the different people according to their status.

For example, Zhao Hongrun's sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan, he was assigned a whole sheep's head, logically speaking, the head of the sheep is the most noble, and only the patriarch of the tribe is eligible to enjoy it, so it is not difficult to guess that Zhao Yuanyan, as a guest, has a really high status in the Qingyang tribe.

In addition, Zhao Yuanyan's Zongwei, as well as Zhao Hongrun's Zongwei, harvested a hind leg and a front leg respectively.

When eating pork, the front leg meat is better than the hind leg meat, but when eating mutton, it is the opposite, because the explosive power of the sheep is on the hind legs, therefore, the hind leg meat is tougher than the front leg meat, especially the lamb, the meat is tender and chewy.

It is not difficult to see from this that under the pressure of these people, Zhao Yuanyan's Zongwei's "distinguished guest status" is obviously higher than that of the Zongwei behind Zhao Hongrun.

But when it was Zhao Hongrun's turn, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, because he got two balls.

This part is called "Sheep Ball" by the Qiang people, and Zhao Hongrun calls it, "Sheep ****".

No matter what you call it, I have to say that when Zhao Hongrun saw the food that belonged to him, he was dumbfounded.

It's not that this part is bad, in fact, the sheep ball and the sheep eyeballs are one of the most valuable parts of the sheep's body.

It's just that in Zhao Hongrun's opinion, this is a bit subtle.

After all, it was the girl who had teased him just now that was serving him the wooden plate containing a pair of sheep balls, and at this time, the girl was looking at him with affection.

Zhao Hongrun raised his head and secretly glanced at the patriarch Amutu and the rest of the people in the tent, from their smiling expressions. I felt a deep sense of "malice".

"The people of the Qiang people are not allowed to waste food from sheep, especially from the treasure sheep. …… If you don't want to be their enemy, you have to honestly accept your share of food and eat it all. ”

On the side, Zhao Yuanling, the uncle of the six kings, chewed on the eyeballs obtained from the sheep's head. While smiling evilly, he "fell into the well".

At that moment, Zhao Hongrun seemed to feel that the entire tent was looking at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Let's just do as the locals do."

comforting himself, Zhao Hongrun reached out and grabbed a sheep ball, put it in his mouth and took a bite, chewing it slowly.

To be honest, as the most tonic part of the sheep's body, the taste of the sheep ball is very delicious. It's just that its location is a little subtle.

No, Zhao Hongrun could feel that when he was chewing the sheep ball, Princess Yulong behind him had already blushed, and even Mi Jiang's face was flushed with crimson, only the heartless Mi Rui was keen to destroy the food that belonged to her.

Maybe it's psychological, after Zhao Hongrun finished eating the pair of sheep balls with goat's milk wine, he felt as if a flame was burning in his body. At the same time, the gaze of the young girl. also became more fiery and gentle, looking directly at Zhao Hongrun.

"It's not good......

Zhao Hongrun hurriedly lowered his head.

You must know that in the customs of the Qiang people, the customs of unmarried girls and married women are different.

For example, a man of the Qiang tribe would sacrifice his wives and concubines to the servants of his honored guests. But an untrained girl of the Qiang tribe, once she touches it, she is responsible.

Could it be that when you go back to Daliang, you want to take a girl from the Qiang tribe back?

Well, there's nothing wrong with that......

Zhao Hongrun secretly looked up at the girl of the Qiang tribe.

There's no denying it. It seems that this kind of alien girl is very different from the Wei girl and Chu girl that Zhao Hongrun has seen in the past, and the biggest difference between them is enthusiasm and openness, for example, even if it is the first time they meet, this beautiful girl of the Zong nationality has the courage to show love to Zhao Hongrun and tease him.

But to be honest, this kind of fiery enthusiasm made Zhao Hongrun feel a little unbearable.

Not to mention that there was a Mi Jiang staring at him behind him, although the two actually had nothing to do with each other, Zhao Hongrun faintly had the illusion of cheating with other women in front of his wife.

After the lamb as the main dish, the dish is more common, such as a pot of mutton soup, don't look at this pot of mutton soup is delicious and rich in meat, but in fact it is not as good as the lamb just now.

However, in the eyes of people who don't understand the culture of the Qiang people, maybe this pot of mutton soup is the real meal.

Later, the people served sheep cheese as an after-dinner dessert, as well as a food called sheep cakes, which were distributed to those who were not yet full.

In fact, tearing up the sheep cake and throwing it in the goat's milk is the most daily food of the Qiang people, and slaughtering sheep is not so frequent for them.

After they had eaten and drunk, the men of the Qingyang tribe in the tent took their leave one after another and returned to their tents.

And Zhao Yuanyan also chatted with Amutu, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, about "borrowing the way".

Amutu was able to speak Wei Yan, and he told Zhao Yuanli that there were about fourteen relatively large tribes in the camp this time, accounting for about half of the large tribes in the land of Sanchuan, and more than half of these fourteen large tribes were suspicious of the matter of "borrowing the way".

“…… Including my Qingyang tribe. ”

Amutu was very blunt in expressing to Zhao Yuanyan that he was also wary of Wei.

Zhao Hongrun was not surprised, after all, for the people of the Sanchuan land, Wei was a huge country, with a regular army used for war, and weapons and equipment were all ten years ahead of the number of the people.

For example, the precious iron swords on the side of the Qi people abound in the Wei State.

What's more, the land of Sanchuan, where the people lived, had been taken from the Wei state, so the people had been wary of the Wei state fighting with them in order to regain the country, and drove them to the far and barren north.

"So...... What about the Qiang and the Qiang? ”

Zhao Yuanyan asked.

Amutu crossed his arms and shook his head slightly.

On the same day, Zhao Hongrun learned that the Yin Rong in the land of Sanchuan could be roughly divided into three categories: the peace-loving people who had much contact with the Wei State, and the Qi people who were once regarded as inferior by the Wei people and now have an unclear attitude towards the Wei State, as well as the Qi people who regarded the land of Sanchuan as their use and strongly refused to use the Wei people's way.
