Chapter Forty-Nine: Wine Continues Friendship

Seeing everyone's questioning eyes, Muhammadov smiled, "Do you think we don't eat fish?"

"Yes, it seems that the people of the steppe don't eat fish"? Even a well-informed person like Chang Jianming feels very strange,

"In the past, we mainly ate meat, but now it is also abundant, except for the pastoral areas, the city also eats fish, and we have all kinds of fish in the local area, but however, our custom is not to eat whole fish, and the fish meat is also mainly grilled, although the taste is good, but it is still not as pleasant to eat as meat."

"Hey, don't say it, this fish is well done, the color is beautiful, the taste is delicious, and the craftsmanship is good"?

"Like? Then you can eat more"! The dishes ordered were recognized by everyone, and Muhammadov was naturally happy,

"There's one thing I don't know much about, when I entered the hotel just now, I found that the corridor was almost all painted green, and there was an owl hanging on the wall. I like green, I understand, prairie, but do you also like owls?"

"How do you know"?

"I found it when I entered the hotel, and besides, you can see that the little flower hat next to it is decorated with owl feathers, right?"

Brother Jianming observed very carefully, Kazakhs have a deep affection for green, because green is a positive color, giving people a symbol of auspiciousness and happiness. The owl itself is a beneficial bird, it eats mice, how serious the rats on the grassland are, directly endangering people's vitality, so people especially prefer it. Think of it as a symbol of bravery, determination, and perseverance. Am I right? Muhammadov"? Dr. Hua asked him

"Dr. Hua said it very well, as you have seen, and we often use it to hang on the wall of the yurt, or to decorate our flower hats with a lock of its feathers, to see who is the most beautiful", Muhammadov praised Huaguang.

"You're not bad," Canlith came over with a wine glass, she and her husband looked at each other affectionately, Kazakh couples generally do not show too much intimacy in front of everyone, but are only accustomed to using each other's eyes to express their fiery feelings from the heart.

"Doctor Hua, thank you for curing my illness", Canlith bowed to Hua Guang, "I toast you for my husband, I hope you can work with us forever"!

"Haha, what's the matter? I also have a wife and children, and I will return to China after all, but I promise you that I will train a few more apprentices, right?"

"Okay, then count me in",

"Okay, a toast to the apprentice"! Both of them drank it all in one go.

"Oops, this Kazakh even has such a good amount of alcohol for women"? Seeing Canlis's big glass of wine, Dr. Hua was very surprised,

'Haha, you don't know, how did they do it?' Muhammadov laughed, "Come, daughter", he called out to Akiya, "Come and toast the guests",

"Hey, Haole", Akia flew over like a beautiful butterfly, and first came to everyone with a curtsy, Kazakhs meet guests in social situations, usually with a handshake as a courtesy, but women are not, they usually curtsy to guests. When meeting the elderly, the younger generation should press the chest with the right hand, bow at 30 degrees to show respect, and also say a few words of wishes.

It seems that Aqia is also very skilled, she put three silver cups, put it on a copper plate, and there is a wine jug in it, and she walks over and begins to toast. Kazakh girls, toasting guests from afar is a local custom, and guests can't refrain from saying no.

Of course, they also drink it themselves, but when they meet those guests who can't drink, they enthusiastically come to have a drink, which is considered to be a drink for the guests, which is also a kind of respect, right?

"Uncle Chang, let's start with you"? Akia carried a beautiful plate with three wine glasses, the wine had been poured, and she began to sing a Kazakh folk song, which was melodious and joyful, making everyone feel as if they were in a green steppe, and Akia was the lark in the steppe, singing and drinking for the guests.

In this way, the men can't help but drink, first starting with Chang Jianming, then Maxim, Zhang Dong, Huaguang, and Peter each have three cups.

Then there were two young men, Basha and Alyosha, as well as Xiao San and Zhang Dong's two bodyguards, the young men laughed, no one would refuse, and they couldn't refuse, Aqia sang while holding a wine glass, so no one said anything, almost all of them drank it all.

"Who is Captain Chang"? While everyone was drinking, a person suddenly broke in,

"Who I am, who are you"? Chang Jianming saw that it was a strange Kazakh policeman,

"I am a subordinate of the Chief of the Criminal Section of the National Police Agency, Otunbayev",

"O, it's good", Chang Jianming knew, he saw his message, "Is Section Chief Otunbayev very busy?" Still thinking about a treat? Don't worry, you see that someone has already invited us",

"This is one aspect, he apologizes, and the other main reason is to inform you that something happened to Chief Oku, and they were attacked by bandits on the way",

"Huh? Chang Jianming was very surprised, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"He's hurt"!

"Ah, hurt? Heavy or not"?

"There are many injuries, but fortunately, they are now out of danger of life",

"Huh? Do you know where these bandits are coming from"?

"It is said that he was an accomplice of the robbers, and he had his eyeliner here, and he was originally going to the station to pick him up, but when he saw that there were many of us, he didn't dare to start at the station, and then he saw that there were only two or three of them, so he followed him halfway", Otunbayev's men explained.

"So where is he now"? Hearing the seriousness of the situation, Chang Jianming asked with concern,

"He is now in the ICU ward of the police hospital, and he has just woken up, and he is anxious to invite you over, saying that he has something important to discuss."

"What about the robbers"?

"They all ran away, because the police were killed, and the chief of the Oku was also seriously injured, but fortunately he was in a coma at the time, otherwise, he would have to be poisoned by the gangsters",

"Oh, how did you find this?"

"I went to the hotel to look for you, because the matter was urgent, and I saw the note you left, so I hurried here",

"According to you, the king owl also ran away"? When Zhang Dong heard them talk about the robbers, he naturally paid special attention to this guy who had been harming himself.

"Alas, the bandits who were so easy to catch have all been robbed", Otunbayev's men were very discouraged, it seems that this incident has really hit them hard! What the hell is going on....?
