After the Bimo ceremony last night, Ang Lee found us and hugged each other, and then got into the car arranged by Somatou for him and said GOOD BYE to us, and there was a big headache waiting for him to deal with outside the mountain.

And when the stallion knew that Lian Rui had seen the whole process of his healing, he hid in the house of Bimo and said that he would not come out.

"I was looked down on by Lianrui, she has to marry me, oh no, she has to marry me, this is the rule of our old Ma family." The stallion lay in the wide rattan chair and said seriously in the shape of Ge You.

As far as his name suggests, his treatment worked so well that the stallion was free to use his ass the next day.

After that spark-like concoction, the stallion's skin now has turned a slightly blackened bronze, which is much more pleasing to the eye than it used to be with a bit of a sissy.

I laughed and said, "I'm fine, but I'm afraid you have to pass the Ah Xi level first." ”

Ah Xi and Lian Rui are childhood sweethearts, and they are the only apprentices of Soma Touren, and they are trained as the leaders of the next generation of Ma several cottages, and they are definitely fierce rivals on the road of stallion!

Thinking of the strength of this rival in love, and thinking of the way Ah Xi looked at Lian Rui, there was a deep layer of worry on the stallion's face.

"Okay, Brother Stallion, the old man said that they were preparing things, and when they were ready, we will set off, and some of them will be busy at that time, so you really don't want to go out for a walk while you are free now?" I asked.

"Resolutely don't go out! You'll bring me something to eat later. The stallion shook his head.

"Oh, in order to welcome our arrival today, the Somatou people specially prepared countless delicious Yi flavor meals on the three-pot village in the hall house! Tsk, Tutuo meat, Tutuo chicken, fragrant! I heard that Lian Rui still sings a toast song to toast, but unfortunately you don't go, so I'll go. I lifted my feet and walked out the door.

"Bang!" I saw a black shadow bounce up from the chair and disappear, it seems that this big stallion is really spring this time, a knife on the head of the color word!

I followed him and asked, "Do you know where you are so quickly?" The stallion sniffed and said, "Here, the smell of meat is the greatest." "I forgot about this stubble, this thing has a smarter nose than a dog.

When the Somatou people's hall appeared in front of us, we heard someone shouting to us at the door: "Quack! "It means rare guest.

I'm also from Nanbian County, except for the Yi family rules that are too remote and don't understand, I can still come twice with a simple one, and I immediately replied: "Ga Ze! It means "not a rare guest!" ”

Someone ushered us into the hall, and we seemed to have arrived a little early, before the feast had been opened, and from time to time people were busy arranging the feast.

At a glance, I saw the "Sanguozhuang" standing by the fire.

When the Yi family set up the "Three Pot Village", the master had to count a good morning at Bimo before starting to set up. "Sanguozhuang" is generally located on the left side of the house, on the left side of the house, dig a pit with a diameter of 30 to 40 cm as the main pond, the edge of the main pond is paved by three semicircular Guozhuang stones, and are put together into a circular fire pond, this device is called "the bottom of the pipe" by the Yi people.

At the same time, after laying the edge of the fire pit, another group of three crescent-shaped "three-pot villages" is placed at the joint of the previous group, with the bent teeth facing up and downward, that is, the roots of the village are buried in the ground, and they must be firm when burying the roots.

After the three crescent-shaped pot stones are erected, they form a triangular support point, and the pot on the shelf is called "three pot villages".

In the middle of about one meter of the fire pond of "Sanguozhuang", a rectangular wooden frame is hung with iron wire or steel wire, and a bamboo curtain is laid on the wooden frame for baking food.

I studied the "Sanguozhuang" with great interest, and the stallion increased the frequency of the feathers, sniffing back and forth among the various delicacies that had already been served.

I was about to laugh at the stallion that sneezed wildly because it smelled pepper flour, "Haha, are you all there?" Let's get ready for the table. "Somatou and my grandfather are waiting for the fish to enter.

All the people who came were acquaintances, except for the four of us, as well as Ah Xi, Supplementing the Fire Bimo and the three elders, but the lotus stamen was missing.

When the stallion saw Ah Xi, he remembered Ah Xi's "coercion" against him at the Bimo ceremony, and immediately glared angrily, while Ah Xi had an indifferent expression and directly ignored the stallion.

At this time, the Somatou man asked Grandpa, me and the stallion to sit down, and the stallion said, "Isn't this okay?" ”

I asked the stallion to sit down and gave him a brief explanation of the Yi family's custom of entertaining guests.

The Yi family pays attention to the difference between men and women when dining, the elders sit on the table, the guests sit on the table or above, and the younger generation can only sit on the lower seat; When entertaining guests, good wine and food are first honored to guests or elders.

Tables and chairs are not used, knives and forks are not used, and chopsticks are not used, but horses and spoons are used. When eating, everyone sits in a circle or a row, and a dustpan of rice is placed in the middle, with a wooden plate of lump of meat and a wooden pot of soup and vegetables in the middle.

Each person holds the horse spoon with his right hand, holds the meat in his left hand, and moves his hands in turn according to the edge of the rice or meat or soup in his direction, and it is taboo to stretch out his long hand to go far away to take the meat, scoop the rice and scoop the soup, and eat in the way of "soup first, then rice and then meat".

Seeing that everyone sat down, Somatou said with a smile: "Today is all for your own family's dinner, don't pay attention to too many rules, open up!" ”

Grandpa told me and the stallion to eat as much as we could, otherwise it might not be possible to eat like this for a long time, and after telling him to talk to Soma and them.

The usual "Sanguozhuang" is an ordinary barbecue, buckwheat baba, potatoes and soup dishes, but this kind of banquet is different.

Among the dietary specialties of the Yi nationality area, Tuotuo meat is the most famous, and it is generally customary to "Tuotuo meat" also refers to Tuotuo pork.

The meat is cut into flat square lumps, the large livestock are cut larger, the young pork is cut smaller, the large ones are more than six or seven taels, and the small ones are also two or three taels.

Don't look at the simplicity of the meat, but mastering the heat is the key. Put the meat into the cold water of the pot, put some wood ginger into the soup when cooking, generally no longer put other seasonings, the pot rack is boiled with firewood on the pot village, the meat must be picked up just after cooking, and there is elasticity at this time.

Putting spices on may seem the simplest, but it's very important. The Yi people generally mix salt in a small dustpan (now mostly in a porcelain basin), which is the purest lump meat.

But now in many places to add chili pepper, pepper, in some areas is used to use the way of stir-frying in the hot pot to mix the above seasonings, in order to increase the fragrance.

I grabbed a piece of lump of meat and put it in my mouth and took a big bite, cool! The fat is not greasy, the lean meat is crisp and tender, and the meat is fragrant and delicious.

Eating Tuotuo meat, I glanced at the Yi spicy chicken next to me, the spicy chicken of the Yi nationality, is to use about two catties of chickens, roasted after killing, the meat is slaughtered (stirred and crushed) and added, wood ginger, ginger, chili noodles, pepper and other condiments, and cold boiled water can be eaten.

I can't wait to grab it and eat it, well, the original taste, the taste is spicy and refreshing, the meat is tender and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless. It uses red sea peppers, which are a specialty of the high mountains, and are loved by many foodies.

The stallion did not eat the spicy chicken after eating the tuotuo meat, but reached out to the jar beef.

Jar beef is made of beef leg meat, cut into lumps of beef, plus salt, chili, pepper, wood ginger noodles and other seasonings put into the earthen jar and sealed. After sealing with vegetable leaves, wrap it with clay to cover it one inch thick. Then put it in a cool place and wait for about 30 days before eating. The color is yellow and the fragrance is tangy. The meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is incomparably delicious.

Of course, before the stallion eats, all the dishes with chili peppers are soaked in the water and then eaten, although the taste is a little worse, but it is still original and tender!

In addition, there are Yi flavor blood intestines, roast pigs, fragrant tripe, jar pork, mortar-pounded chicken cold and spicy soup, bone rice, sauerkraut fish, green pepper sausage and artichoke chicken, etc., I will not introduce them one by one, because I am not available!

It's all meat, I love it!

As if no one was around us, a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo suddenly sounded in the hall, and Lian Rui came with a bowl of mash rice wine and sang a toast.

I only heard Lian Rui sing: "(Yi) Su Mu Di is Oh, Horn Bo Gelaso; You oh Gadaso, Moragadebo; You Mugajiele, branch Bogotá; Don't be sorry, Sailaro Oh Su; Su you Su Duo, Su you Su Duo. ”

The lyrics are: Distant guests, friends from all directions; We don't get together often, but we do see each other; The Yi family has a tradition of using wine before hospitality; There is a lot of wine in Yixiang, and the wine is toasted to guests and friends; A glass of wine, a glass of wine, please.

Lotus Rui came from my grandfather's side one by one, and when it was the stallion's turn, he actually tasted a small bite, and looked at a loss, so that when he took the wine bowl, he almost touched Lianrui's little hand, and tasted a sip of mash wine, and the stallion's face was flushed, and I knew that he was excited.

The Yi family's mash wine needs to be soaked in water with high-quality rice overnight, until the crystal clear rice is soaked until it is soft and shiny, then the water is drained with a bamboo sieve, steamed in a wooden retort, and after it is put into a clay pot to dissipate heat, it is sprinkled with koji, mixed with a small amount of water, and finally it is put into a clay pot and covered with a lid.

After more than ten days, the mash lees gave off a tangy fragrance. When a guest arrives at home, the Yi family always picks up a large tile basin, filters the rice dregs, and serves a large bowl of yellow and clear mash wine to entertain the guests.

I took the bowl and drank it all, it was sweet and delicious!

The meat has been eaten, the mash wine has also been drunk, and then everyone will drink the most characteristic wine of the Yi family - straw wine.

Yi nationality pole wine is made with corn, millet, buckwheat, sorghum, soybean mixture, first of all, the five kinds of mixed grain are boiled and cooled, plus the koji is packed into the earthen jar, the mouth of the altar is sealed, and the mouth of the jar is stored with mud (now more than cement).

The longer the storage time, the better, generally half a year as the shortest period. The night before drinking, open the seal and pour in cold boiled water to mix the wine and water, and wait until the next morning to drink.

The most special part of drinking straw wine is drinking it with straw. The stalks are mostly made of yellow bamboo, and the yellow bamboo joints are soldered with red-hot thin wire. Another characteristic of drinking straw sake is the use of the "sama" (scale, mark) system. That is, drill a small hole in a piece of bamboo, insert a small bamboo strip, when drinking, put the bamboo piece horizontally at the mouth of the wine jar, and the small bamboo strip is facing down, that is, it becomes "Sama" (equivalent to a glass of wine).

Straw wine is a kind of water wine, the alcohol content is low, generally between 20 ° ~ 30 °, the wine taste is mellow and sweet, suitable for all ages, suitable for drinking all year round.

Each time you drink, pour water into the jar and mix it with the wine, and pour the water until it is level with the mouth of the jar. Drinkers must drink with stalks until the small bamboo strips of "Sama" are fully exposed, as a salutation of "Sama".

Fill up with water, and the second drinker must also drink the "Sama" bamboo strip until it is completely exposed. And so on until the wine tastes as light as water. A large jar of straw wine can be drunk for several days, and it is generally enough to soak a jar of straw wine during the New Year.

The stallion didn't drink the stalk wine again this time, but just held a piece of pig's head meat and knocked it on the front teeth from time to time, staring at the lotus stamen and smirking silently.

We drank to our heart's content all night, drank wine, ate meat, watched beautiful women, and finally danced in the middle of the hall with Grandpa and Somatou and Beamer.

Except for the occasional glance at Ah Xi with an unkind gaze, the stallion was also smiling most of the time, and then I don't know if it was because he usually didn't drink a drip, he actually cried inexplicably like he was drunk, but no one paid attention to all this, and there was only one theme for this night: fun!

Don't be paralyzed by the low degree of this stalk wine, after drinking a certain amount, the stamina is very great! I was also drunk, and in a trance, I dreamed of my mother again.

The night passed, and this time I woke up and didn't lie in the hut of the lotus stamen again, I touched my forehead, which was slightly sore from the hangover, and felt the smell of warm fragrance around me, and I was a little stunned. It doesn't matter if you want to date her or not, but as long as it's a beauty, who wouldn't want to spend more time with her?

"Haha, Ouyang! This time, you finally have a deal with me, and no one except me is allowed to sleep in the hut of Lotus Rui in the future! Why don't I come back this time and get injured and go to sleep? Phew! Unlucky! No, no, no! The stallion croaked early in the morning.

"Good grandson, the boy of the Ma family, hurry up and get ready to go!" Grandpa's angry voice came from outside the house.

After washing up with the stallions and eating the hot decanter soup and buckwheat poop on the table, we walked out the door to see a long team of mules mixed with a few hounds.

Each mule in the mule team is carrying a package, which is the strongest mule carefully selected, and each mule can carry a weight of 700-800 pounds.

Somatou and Beamo also came to see us off.

This time, the Somatou people sent dozens of good hands from the Maji cottage to accompany us, and in addition to them, Lian Rui and Ah Xi were actually among them.

This surprised me a lot, but looking at the majestic Yi standard armor on Lian Rui, I couldn't help but believe it a little more.

The armor of the Yi nationality is 52.5 cm long and 112 cm wide, and the helmet is 15 cm high, 40 cm long and 54 cm wide.

They are crafted with great care, and the armor is made of the rare rhinoceros leather, which is not only breathable, but also resistant to armed attacks. They have undergone special treatments such as weatherproofing, so they can be stored for a long time without rotting.

In addition to a long knife, each Yi warrior also carried a powder gun. This made the stallion very excited, and he also asked for a powder gun on his back, and said hatefully: "Now there is a weapon!" Any zongzi, Ma Ye and I will shoot him into a hornet's nest! ”

I saw that Lotus Rui had nothing on her body except for a beautiful armor and a short sword with a wave blade, so I asked curiously, "Miss Lianrui, you don't have any other weapons?" Like a powder gun or something? ”

Lian Rui smiled and said, "I don't like things with gunpowder, but I have a secret weapon, and you'll know when you can use it." ”

"Let's go!" With a shout from the warriors, Ah Xi took the lead in front, and Lian Rui and us were in the middle.

At this time, I noticed that there were a few mules in the team that seemed to have a unique shape, and I asked my grandfather what it was, and he said lightly: "Electric Luoyang shovel." ”
