Aunt Ha jumped up from the small stool and said, "Do you have flour at home?" I'll do it now! How can you do it if you haven't eaten baked naan?! ”

Well, life is incomplete without eating baked naan.

Su Ma Su Yuan also became happy: "Fresh baked naan is the best!" My eldest sister is too tired to come back from herding sheep, and she has no time to do it, so she can only steam steamed buns to eat every day, and we haven't eaten naan for a long time! ”

Aunt Ha laughed: "Auntie made a particularly big naan today!" ”

She got up and washed her hands, washed the iron basin that Qingzhi used to wash the dishes, and made a clean and tidy dough, covered it with an iron pot lid and waited for the noodles to come, and then asked Qingzhi to point out to her where the sheep dung was piled up, and she picked up a lot of dry sheep dung in the past, and lit a fire not far in front of the yurt.

Su Ma and Su Yuan happily ran back and forth, picking up dried sheep dung and adding it to the fire.

Qingzhi held on to the door to do psychological construction for himself: dry sheep manure is clean and effective fuel, nomads are constantly migrating, where is there firewood to burn on the grassland? Even if they are stationed in the mountains like this herding team, if they all burn firewood instead of cow and sheep dung, isn't that destroying forest resources?

Seeing that the dried sheep dung had been burned to gray, Aunt Ha turned around and asked Qingzhi, "Is the face good?" ”

Qingzhi lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, the dough had been doubled in size, and hurriedly said, "It's done!" ”

"That's good, you knead it into the shape of a round cake! Put it back in the iron basin. It's inconvenient for me to use my hands. ”

Qingzhi crumpled into the shape of a picture of the naan he had seen before crossing over, and ran over with an iron basin in his hand.

Aunt Ha took a look, put the iron basin on top of the burning sheep dung, and then still covered the pot, and put several pieces of hot sheep dung on the pot lid with a fire clip.

Su Ma and Su Yuan also took a branch and gathered the sheep dung on the ground around the iron basin.

Song Qingzhi understood: a simple oven.

Aunt Ha clapped her hands: "Okay! Let's go back to the yurt and wait! It will be fine in a while. ”

Everyone washed their hands and returned to the yurt room to chat, Aunt Ha couldn't be idle, tore off a piece of felt on the wall, began to embroider the horn pattern on it, and told Su Ma Su Yuan the story of the shepherd's ancestors.

Before the story was finished, the fragrance of baked naan had already come in, and the two dolls looked a little unable to sit still. This story should be just right to tell. ”

After the story was told, Su Ma Su Yuan rushed out, and Qingzhi also hurriedly followed behind Aunt Ha to see the roasted naan.

Aunt Ha covered her hands with a cloth, removed the iron basin from the fire, and then carefully removed the lid of the pot, and the sheep dung ash on it did not fall into the basin at all.

Qingzhi and Su Ma Su Yuan leaned their heads together: in the middle of the basin was a round, pale golden yellow lying a fragrant naan.

Aunt Ha took out the naan with her bare hands, afraid of being hot, so she walked while throwing it, put it on the cutting board after returning to the yurt, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and took out the ghee for everyone to dip and eat.

Qingzhi also hurriedly used the brick tea brought by Su Ma to cook a pot of milk tea.

The fresh naan is soft and chewy, and the ghee dips into it as soon as it is smeared on top, and it is the kind of rich, real food flavor.

Everyone was busy eating, and the yurt was quiet.

The weather was very good, the door was open, Qingzhi didn't notice that someone walked in, but Su Yuan saw his mother at a glance and called out happily: "Mother is here!" This is Sister Aoeda! ”

Qingzhi hurriedly stood up and greeted, Second Aunt Su was about thirty years old, and it could be seen between her eyebrows that she should have a good posture when she was young, although she gave birth to three children, her clothes were tightened at the waist, and her figure was still slim.

Aunt Ha also got up and said, "Second Aunt Su, come and eat some fresh naan!" I just roasted it, and it smells fragrant! ”

Second Aunt Su glanced at the yurt, saw her own milk pot and brick tea, and thought that Qingzhi let the child use Fu bricks yesterday, and today she used her own milk and tea, she couldn't help but feel angry, but she still smiled and said, "Don't eat, just had lunch, don't be hungry." ”

Aunt Ha was reluctant and said, "How can anyone be a guest and not eat?!" ”

Herders generally live in scattered places, far away from villages and towns, and rarely have guests on weekdays, so once there are guests, the host will be very enthusiastic, eager to stuff all the best things in the family to the guests, if the guests do not accept, the host will usually be angry.

Of course, ordinary guests will also bring gifts when they come to the door, just like Aunt Ha and Qingzhi today, they are not polite to each other, which is the best way for the herdsmen to get along with each other.

Second Aunt Su glanced at the small table, in addition to naan, there were also snacks taken out by Qingzhi, she picked and chosen, and chose a piece of pine nut and rose crisp to eat, which was still Chen thought that Qingzhi liked to eat, and Tuo Lu Zichuan brought it from Lishan Town.

While eating halva, Aunt Su kept looking at the yurt room, and found that the felts were all good camel hair felt, and found the small cupboard where the clothes were stored, and asked, "You also hired someone to transport this cupboard?" ”

"Yes, I hired a team of donkeys when I went up the mountain."

Second Aunt Su nodded: "When my family moved here, they also hired a donkey team. ”

Aunt Ha said: "You can also spend!" At that time, your head of the family had just died, and the donkey team asked for a lot of money, and we all said that everyone would help you move it slowly, but you didn't want to. ”

Second Aunt Su took another piece of halva and ate it without speaking.

Aunt Ha was a little embarrassed: "Cough! It's me who talks a lot, in fact, you are the sister-in-law of the head man, and the head man is willing to spend money to hire a few donkey teams for your mother, of course, it's better to hire a donkey team haha. ”

Qingzhi became alert: "Who is the headman?" ”

Everyone laughed, thinking that this question was a bit naïve, Su Ma said kindly: "Sister Qingzhi, the head person is the head of our pastoral team!" He lives two hills away from here, and he is in charge of our twenty or so households. ”

Well? The guide back then? Aoeda tried to be as casual as she could and asked, "Oh, what's his name?" ”

Aunt Ha said: "The head person's surname is Mei, I don't know what the name is, Second Aunt Su, do you know?" ”

Second Aunt Su picked another halva and ate it, but still didn't speak.

But Song Qingzhi was already very excited: surnamed Mei! It must be that guide! His sister-in-law and niece are now in my house! Hold on and find out the news! Ritsu Zichuan, you don't have to thank me!

Qingzhi asked Aunt Ha, "Aunt Ha, you have lived in Ketuo Mountain for many years, right?" ”

"That's right! Been here for the rest of your life! ”

"Has that man lived in this mountain all his life?"

"It stands to reason that this should be the case, but our leader went down the mountain ten years ago and didn't know what to do, and then came back."

"What are you going to do?"

Aunt Ha spread her hands and smiled: "I don't know either!" Nobody knows! It's about going to the town to see how the people in the town are doing! Second Aunt Su, did you say? ”

Qingzhi also looked at Second Aunt Su with anticipation.

Second Aunt Su's face was cold: "My sister died before that, and I don't know." ”

Seeing that she couldn't find anything, Qingzhi was afraid of startling the snake, thinking that since they were neighbors, there would be opportunities in the future, so she didn't ask again. ntent
