Chapter 236: Eating meat in large chunks and drinking in large bowls

This time when he went into the mountains to caress Fan, Lin Yizhe came prepared, and did a lot of homework for this. The pen is interesting and the www.biquge.info and these agate beads in the sleeve come from this.

Before Lin Yizhe came to the Peony Society, he consulted some officials and subordinates in the past about the situation of the Paiwan tribe, and learned about the situation of many Paiwan people, and the most eye-catching thing about the Paiwan tribe was the gorgeous costumes. They are very fond of wearing patterned clothing. The glass beads or embroidery threads embroidered with a needle and thread, and a gorgeous piece of clothing, will take half a year's hard work and time for a Paiwan woman. The ornaments on the Paiwan people have a certain social significance, not only indicating gender and status, but also some have a certain religious significance, indicating avoiding evil spirits and blessings. Flowers, feathers, furs, animal teeth, and leopard skins are only limited to the direct wear of nobles, and glass beads and shells are also limited to nobles. Most of the ornament materials used by the Paiwan people are taken from local products, such as animal teeth, animal bones, animal horns, shellfish, etc.; Then there is the barter with the Han people, such as agate, crystal and other decorations that are extremely popular with the Paiwan people; The ancestral glass beads of the Paiwan clan and the silverware of other clans are also traded with outsiders. After learning about these things, he sent someone to purchase a batch of these things that were not costly, and prepared to be used for use at any time. Now these preparations come in handy.

Sure enough, not long after, Alugu and the others walked briskly towards Lin Yizhe with a young woman holding a baby wrapped in a fancloth.

Lin Yizhe got up to greet him, and Alugu came to Lin Yizhe, took the baby from his mother's arms, and handed it to Lin Yizhe. Lin Yizhe was slightly stunned, but still carefully took the baby.

This is a pink-and-white cute baby boy, who has just been bathed by a mountain spring at this time, and there are still traces of water on his body. It may be that he was stimulated by the cold water just now, and he kept crying, but when those big bright eyes saw Lin Yizhe, he stopped crying, but just looked at him so fixedly.

Lin Yizhe looked at this healthy baby, and suddenly thought of Caiyue in his heart, and couldn't help but be relieved and worried.

After Caiyue fell ill, Lin Yizhe asked the doctor to see her, and unexpectedly found that she had been two months pregnant, Lin Yizhe was shocked when he learned about it, and immediately arranged for someone to send her back to Fuzhou by boat to recuperate, although Caiyue was worried that Lin Yizhe had no one to take care of in Taiwan, and insisted on staying, but Lin Yizhe was worried about her health, and arranged a boat to send her back.

Thinking that he had another child, looking at the baby in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yizhe's mouth, and the baby looked at him and laughed along.

Lin Yizhe gently put the string of white agate beads with a lion-shaped Rui beast ornament into the baby's open little hand. Seeing that Lin Yizhe liked the child so much and gave the child a precious gift, the child's mother was full of joy and opened her mouth to say a series of words of thanks, but unfortunately they were all words, and Lin Yizhe couldn't understand a word.

Alugu looked at Lin Yizhe, his eyes full of expectation, "Please also ask the adults to give my grandson a name." ”

Lin Yizhe looked at the child's small hand and a pair of crystal eyes holding the little rui beast on the agate bead string, and his brain teaser turned sharply, and said: "I hope that this child will be as brave as a lion in the future, become an excellent hunter, protect the territory of the people, and call him 'lion baby'." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your name!" Alugu said, took the child from Lin Yizhe's hand, turned around and excitedly lifted the child to the clansmen and shouted: "My grandson's name is 'Saiwa' (this is a transliteration of Chinese in the Turkish language, since the Qing Dynasty, due to the import of Han and other foreign cultures, the indigenous people of Taiwan have been greatly affected, and there is this way of transliterating Chinese words and naming them)!" ”

Hearing Alugu's shout, the people around him cheered, "Saiva! Saiva! ”

"This kid seems to have a relationship with an adult." Deng Fuhe said to Lin Yizhe with a smile on the side.

Lin Yizhe was also very happy to see that the Paiwan people were so excited. At this time, Aya walked over and put a steaming clay basin in front of Lin Yizhe.

Seeing that Eya didn't bring wine again this time, Lin Yizhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Aya stretched out her hand, and the lid of the clay pot was gently lifted, and the aroma of stewed meat suddenly came to her nose. Lin Yizhe looked at the huge piece of meat in the clay basin and looked up at her again. She smiled slightly, took out a knife from her waist, forked up a piece of meat, and handed it to Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe stretched out his hand and wanted to take the knife from her hand to eat the meat, but she looked at him, but shook her head slightly, and did not mean to let go, but stretched out the knife in front of him again, meaning to eat in her hand. Lin Yizhe smiled slightly, opened his mouth to bite the piece of meat, ripped the piece of meat off the tip of the knife, chewed it and swallowed it in his mouth.

Although he felt a little hot, the fragrant and fatty taste was the first time he had eaten it.

This pure natural "green pork" is indeed incomparable to the fertilized pork of later generations!

Seeing Lin Yizhe eating well, Eaya's face was full of happy smiles, and in an instant, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, which made Lin Yizhe's heart move.

The surrounding Paiwan people cheered again when they saw Lin Yizhe eating their "head pot meat", and this was also the signal for the beginning of the banquet. Then the dishes carefully prepared by the Paiwan women were delivered, and people began to eat and drink happily.

Lin Yizhe can see from these dishes that the cooking methods of the Paiwan people are divided into three types: boiling, grilling, and steaming. Cooking is the most common, they seem to use rice, millet, corn or taro potatoes as their staple food, and when cooking, they all add water to boil dry rice or gruel, and sometimes add taro potatoes or vegetables to rice and porridge. Fish is also mainly cooked. They have less steamed food, and this time it should be because of the festive festivals and solemn celebrations. That is, rice cakes made of glutinous rice and sticky millet are steamed, which is very delicious. In addition, barbecue game is the majority, Lin Yizhe noticed that there are all kinds of grilled bird eggs in the dishes, he tasted it, and it was also very delicious.

In addition, there are plenty of fruits, such as guava, pineapple, sugar cane, betel nut, plum, plum, etc.

Lin Yizhe had eaten some dishes and a few rice cakes, and just felt better, but he didn't expect that Eya appeared in front of him again, this time she not only brought a jar of wine, but also brought a big double-linked wooden wine glass.

And with her came her brother Erlan and several warriors of the Paiwan tribe, some of whom held wine jars in their hands, and some of whom held double or triple cups in their hands.

Seeing that they wanted to drink with him, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

Although I have considered the situations that I may encounter this "Fufan", I have neglected the matter of wine.

For the Paiwan people, water can not be drunk, but wine cannot be left undrunk. There was such a song "Song of Ancestors" in the Paiwan tribe: "My ancestor Weng is the most brave, he is captured alive by deer and bears, he fights straight with the horse, and he is not drunk when he drinks alcohol", which shows the courage and extraordinary courage of the ancestors of the Paiwan tribe and the heroic momentum of drinking wine.

Wine occupies a very important position in the food culture of the Gaoshan people in Taiwan, and almost all the Gaoshan people in other regions are fond of drinking except for the Ami people. In their daily and social lives, the shadow of wine can be found everywhere. Weddings, babies on the ground, festivals, building houses, hunting and fishing, and religious sacrifices are all closely related to wine. For this reason, they should brew wine in advance, and then they will have a wine feast, hold hands and sing and dance, and be drunk to the fullest, like fairies, and forget to return, so that they can forget all their troubles. Usually, they would buy wine from Han merchants, or exchange it for prey, and when the wine arrived, they would drink it until they were half awake and half drunk. I took a few more bottles home. For the Gaoshan people, drinking is not just for men. Lin Yizhe once read in the relevant history books: the Gaoshan people are good at making wine, and when the wine is ripe, they will each carry their own wine, and gather in the village community, men and women, sit on the ground in groups, take wine with wooden scoops or coconut bowls, drink and dance, boiling, three consecutive nights of carnival, no drunkenness. Even if the millet used as a grain was used as a raw material for brewing, they would not regret it.

Today's Paiwan people's wine celebration ceremony for newborns has always been an indispensable ritual for Gaoshan people everywhere, and in the eyes of Lin Yizhe, a modern person, this is simply an extremely happy carnival night.

Seeing Eya put the double glass full of wine in front of him, Lin Yizhe knew that today's meal could not be avoided no matter what.

Drink it! Maybe you can travel back in time after being drunk like the last time......

At this time, the red face of the forehead gradually blurred somehow, and in a trance, it turned into Zhao Yuetong's face......

At night, the men, women and children of the whole peony society are all gathered together, sitting on the ground intermingled, toasting and playing with each other in big bowls, for their close friends, they bring rice wine and pour it from the top of their heads, and the fragrant wine drenches relatives and friends, and also wets the land, making the surrounding atmosphere more intoxicating. The people around him took pleasure in this and persuaded each other to drink until they fell to the ground one by one. The young lovers and lovers also sat together, holding their glasses together, side by side, and the wine from the wooden cups poured into their mouths, overflowing their mouths and necks, pouring on their clothes and on the grass, and then they sang and danced together as fast as possible.

Lin Yizhe drank another double cup, he wanted to try to get up, tried a few times, but did not stand up, and the Paiwan warrior who drank the "brother drink" with him had already fallen to the ground, drunk like mud.

Looking at the seven or eight Paiwan warriors on the ground who were put down by him, including Eaya's brother Elan, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel a little proud.
