These two people and a dog were also really hungry, and one thigh meat was eaten clean, not to mention, after eating Zhao Zhiyuan, he felt that his lost physical strength was immediately replenished, just like when he was in the bureau, at that time he thought it was the effect of Sun Xin's blood, it turned out to be because of this.

After eating, a few people cleaned up the scene, and after sending a signal to the troops, they leaned on the car to rest. There is no way, they have already entered the depths of the prairie, the car is scrapped again, and they don't know the Year of the Monkey when they go out on their own, so they can only wait for the troops to pick them up.

Zhao Zhiyuan was about to fall asleep leaning on the car door, when he suddenly felt a fierce wind blowing to the ground, and looked up, heh, helicopter, this is to pick up people.

The two of them got on the plane, Zhao Zhiyuan sat for the first time, and at first glance, a serious military helicopter was not the kind that could be filled with fuel for twenty yuan, and the pilot was also normal, not smoking a cigar, spitting foam, shaking the glass and throwing cigarette butts out.

The two of them and one dog went out of this area in a helicopter, Feng Mao and Zheng Hao went directly back to the headquarters in the capital, but Zhao Zhiyuan stayed here. The rules of the eleventh bureau, every time after the mission, if there are no special circumstances, there will be a period of adjustment, that is, a holiday. Anyway, they don't need to go to work, and they all go to all parts of the country when they have something, and when the time comes, they will be notified by a phone call, and they will go directly.

Originally, Zhao Zhiyuan wanted to go to the grassland with Feng Mao and Zheng Hao, but Feng Mao's personality was a little withdrawn, and he didn't like to communicate with people, so he didn't pay attention to his stubble at all, and Zheng Hao's identity was inconvenient to walk outside, so in the end only his brother was left.

Zhao Zhiyuan was more comfortable by himself, he shouted directly in the group and began to shake people. This is a WeChat group composed of a group of foodies, Zhao Zhiyuan found a group of people and came here to prepare to eat mutton. When you come to the prairie, if you don't straighten out the sheep, you will come in vain.

Zhao Zhiyuan directly found a hotel, opened a room, and waited for people while resting. One after another, everyone has gathered, they are basically acquaintances, and they often get together for dinner, so they don't need to talk about the old days, and go straight to the topic.

A group of people drove mightily and rushed to the depths of the grassland. They deliberately found a pure herdsman's family, not the kind that specializes in receiving tourists from other places. I paid the money, asked for a sheep, and asked the master's family to help clean it up.

Several people sat in the yurt, drinking milk tea, eating various dairy snacks, chatting and waiting for the mutton to be served.

Zhao Zhiyuan was happy to see that these people were chatting, and slipped out of the tent while no one was paying attention. Fortunately, the sheep has just been killed and skinned, and the internal organs have not been picked yet. Zhao Zhiyuan stayed by the side, only to see the male owner digging in the belly of the sheep for a while, took out a trembling red object and handed it to the hostess, the hostess took it and rinsed it directly in the water, cut off a piece with a knife and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, Zhao Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward.

"Eldest sister, can you bring me a piece?"

That's a good thing—raw lamb liver. Since ancient times, it has been customary to eat freshly slaughtered lamb liver, but this thing is generally eaten by women.

The hostess looked at Zhao Zhiyuan, didn't say anything, cut off a piece of mutton liver with a small knife, handed it to Zhao Zhiyuan, Zhao Zhiyuan quickly spread out his hands and took it, and then put his mouth on the palm of his hand, "stabbed" a mouthful, and directly sucked the mutton liver into his mouth.

When the sheep liver entered his mouth, a fishy smell unique to animal offal filled his mouth, Zhao Zhiyuan swallowed a mouthful of spit, endured the taste, and then chewed it in a big gulp. The taste of raw lamb liver is very unique, just like eating jelly, under the careful tasting, the unique flavor of the lamb seeps out, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.

At this time, a girl's voice came from behind Zhao Zhiyuan.

"Sister, please bring me a piece too."

Zhao Zhiyuan looked back and saw that it was a girl in their group, according to her own introduction, her name was Tao Ran, Zhao Zhiyuan was in contact for the first time, and the others were not familiar with her, and she was a new member of the group.

This girl is in her early twenties, with a goose egg face, baby fat on her cheeks, squinted when she smiled, and brought out two small dimples, which looked particularly cute, shoulder-length hair was simply tied at the back, and her figure was not high, just over one meter six, but her body was well proportioned.

Tao Ran learned from Zhao Zhiyuan's appearance, his hands were raw lamb liver, sucked into his mouth, his brows suddenly wrinkled, his cheeks stirred a few times, and slowly unfolded.

"The taste of this raw lamb liver is quite unique, and you can really eat good things with Brother Yuan."

"Hehe, let's go, go back to the house, wait to eat mutton."

Although the raw lamb liver tastes good, it is to eat a fresh, and it is the exclusive property of the hostess, so you can taste it yourself, or keep the stomach to eat the mutton.

After waiting for about two hours, the lamb was finally ready to be served. The mutton with the bones was put in a large basin, steaming and served on the table, and the meat was boiled in the serious prairie. If you make this kind of lamb roasted whole sheep, it will be bad, and you will eat a seasoning flavor, and if you want to eat roasted whole sheep, you have to go to the northwest to eat the roasted bag. Boiling it in water will bring out the freshness of the lamb to the greatest extent.

The man came in, toasted everyone with a glass of wine, cut off a piece of sheep's tail oil, and gave it to the elders present, and then withdrew from the yurt, which is also the habit of entertaining guests in the grassland, and the host's family will not participate in the banquet, so that the guests can eat to their heart's content.

After the man went out, everyone began to eat. The lamb is cooked without anything, including salt, which greatly retains the juice in the meat and is not tender. Lamb has no base flavor and needs to be eaten with dipping sauce. There are two kinds of dipping sauces, one is the wild leek flower sauce made by the host's own family, which is slightly spicy, but improves the deliciousness of the mutton; The other is a chili ring made with salt noodles with a large amount of white pepper, minced green onions, and millet spicy, which tastes good for the original soup. In fact, there is a more primitive way to eat it, and that is to dip it directly in salt noodles.

Zhao Zhiyuan held a piece of sheep neck in his hand, sucked the bone marrow in the cavity, looked at others struggling against the leg and ribs of the lamb, smiled secretly in his heart, put down the gnawed bones, stretched out his hand to the sheep's head, and wanted to bring it to himself, but the other delicate little hand was also pressed on the sheep's head, Zhao Zhiyuan looked up and saw that it was Tao Ran again. Zhao Zhiyuan gently tugged, but he didn't expect the little girl to be quite strong, and she didn't let it, it seems that this Tao Ran is hey himself, what he eats, this little girl will eat with him.

Zhao Zhiyuan had no choice but to let Tao Ran sit beside him, and the two ate sheep's heads together. Two people use a knife to cut the sheep's face to eat, the mutton face meat is connected with a layer of skin, and the taste is the most chewy. After eating the mutton face meat outside, Zhao Zhiyuan and Tao Ran picked out the sheep's eyeballs with a knife at the same time, put them in their mouths and chewed them, don't look at this sheep's eyeballs are scary, the taste is actually very good, the crystal outside is crispy, and the meat is very firm, the most unique thing is that it contains a stream of juice inside, bite hard, and collapse directly in the mouth, so you must let it cool a little when you eat this, or it is not easy to burn. Subsequently, Zhao Zhiyuan broke off the lower forehead of the sheep's head, took off the sheep's tongue, cut it from the middle with a knife, half of each person, and ate it directly with his hands. In the end, Zhao Zhiyuan smashed the back of the head with the handle of the knife, pried it open with the blade, and took out the sheep brain, which is the essence of the whole sheep, there is a slang in the north called the four beauties - pig head, sheep brain, back to the cage, sister-in-law's mouth, the last two don't say, the pig's head gluttony knows, known as the nine flavors, many people's favorite, you can imagine the deliciousness of the sheep brain.

Zhao Zhiyuan stuck a sheep's brain in the tip of the knife, and gestured to Tao Ran, Tao Ran's palm was facing up, and he pushed forward with both hands with a smile, which meant "you come". Zhao Zhiyuan didn't let her either, the sheep's brain was not big, and the two mouthfuls were all in their mouths. The taste of the lamb brain is really delicate, and you don't need to bite it with your teeth, you can use your tongue to sip it back and forth in your mouth, which is indeed more delicious than mutton.

This sheep's head is laborious to eat, but in fact there is not much meat, but it will not be like the mutton meat, it will resist after two bites, and it feels like it can't be eaten, so others have eaten almost, and these two have just begun. These two people can really eat, there are more than ten catties of meat left, all of which are cleaned up by the two of them, and this Tao Ran eats more than Zhao Zhiyuan.

After eating, everyone rubbed their stomachs and drank milk tea to relieve their greasy appetite. Zhao Zhiyuan took out a cigarette and sent it around, and just as he ordered it, the phone suddenly rang, and he took it out to see that it was his mother calling. Zhao Zhiyuan lit a cigarette and walked out of the yurt to answer the phone.

"Hey, Mom, I'm fine, I'm eating out with my friends."

"Old son, Mom handed you something, your brother has not been home for more than half a year, you can still make a phone call here, but your brother can't be contacted at all, go to the unit to ask, the leader of the family said to go out to perform the task, it is inconvenient to contact, you know a lot of people here in the capital, see if you can find someone to help inquire."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go back and ask, don't worry too much, my brother is such an adult, what can happen."

Zhao Zhiyuan put down the phone and sighed secretly in his heart, I don't know what mission his eldest brother has, there has been no news for more than half a year, it won't be to be an undercover agent, no way, go back and let Sister Li help inquire.

Don't look at Li Hong as the deputy director of the 11th Bureau, but her connections are much tougher than that of Qian Shouwang, the director of the bureau. One is that Li Hong used to work in the army's art troupe, and she had a lot of contact with people, and she was able to speak well, and the external work of the bureau was handed over to her.

And Zhao Zhiyuan didn't tell his family what he was doing, when he went to the capital, he just said that he was specially recruited into the relevant departments of the state, although his parents didn't believe it, but the seal of the order would not be fake, Zhao Zhiyuan's father was also an official figure, asked a lot of people, and didn't find any flaws.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day everyone began to go their separate ways, and Zhao Zhiyuan was also going to the capital.

Before parting, Tao Ran came to him, squinting and smiling, revealing two cute little dimples.

"Brother Yuan, we will meet again in the future."
