84. Barley is drunk, and butter tea is fragrant
Hao Dong and his party can be said to be quite eye-catching.
Although there are many local tourists and many self-driving, their group of people is different from ordinary tourists in terms of momentum. So even if I stopped for a while, no one came up to say hello. On the contrary, there are some locals who look at them with wariness in their eyes.
Hao Dong felt that maybe if they didn't have the Danba brothers in their team, those people might come to drive them away.
But in fact, it's just a matter of how much he worries. While they all seemed to be fierce — with the exception of Hao Dong himself — not to the point where they would scare or even drive them away.
Especially when Ergou made it clear that they were here to play, and "accidentally" exposed a stack of pink in their wallets, they immediately looked a little indifferent and distant, and the operators who stood and watched from afar had a warm smile on their faces.
Unfortunately, this enthusiasm was soon extinguished again, as they were much dismayed to find that this group of travelers had come prepared. Their cars were loaded with tents and food, and even some guys who seemed to be self-defense weapons.
Hao Dong: The place where they got off was actually some distance from the lake.
The entire Qinghai Lake is a large area of scenic spots, and you need to buy tickets to enter all the attractions. Hao Dong: They didn't come here for fun, but the places they needed to pass through were basically the same as the routes of tourists. It's not so easy to find a route around the attraction ticket office.
Also, the place they were going to was in the middle of the lake, which in itself was a bit tricky.
In the winter, when the lake freezes, you can walk through it – that's what the logistics company that sank things in the first place. In the summer, boats are not allowed to take tourists to Haixin Mountain on the lake, because it is also a nature reserve.
However, it is not easy to walk from Bird Island, because it is also a protected area, and there are various fences and staff watching.
Therefore, the best plan is for them to land far away first, and then see if they can use the Jin Yuan offensive to find a boat willing to "smuggle" them to Haixin Mountain.
But this is more difficult, Haixin Mountain is very sacred in the eyes of the locals, and it is a holy place that cannot be desecrated.
This is different from in economically developed areas, where anyone can find money as long as they have it. Here, if you don't find it well, let alone let people send them over, it is possible to beat them to death on the spot if the conversation collapses.
If they can't find a boat to Haixin Mountain, then they can only settle for the next best thing, and see if there can be a boat to help them bypass the guard post on Bird Island and throw them to the east of Bird Island.
It's actually quite challenging, and it's definitely only going to be done at night. During the day, it's too easy to spot.
And if you can't find a boat, you can only look for a place near the lake where there is no one. It must have been more difficult at that time, because once it got to that point, it was estimated that it would take someone to get over.
Although they also prepared diving equipment, they still hoped to have a safer and more reliable way to do so.
So I can't be in a hurry at the moment, not to mention that the sky is gradually getting darker today, so it's better to set up camp first.
The sunset and sunrise on the plateau are particularly noticeable.
Hao Dong set up a tent with the group, and saw that the clear sky, which was still sunny, gradually turned blue, and the western horizon was covered with a large area of golden orange, as if the entire horizon was burning.
Hao Dong was dumbfounded, and Pan Xiang jumped to his side: "Hillbilly." ”
Qi Jue came over and kicked the person away: "Go and ask Argo for another set of fixed nails, it's windy here." ”
Pan Xiang was stunned: "Which Argo is it?" ”
Hao Dong couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing. It's not that he laughed at Pan Xiang and didn't think about it, but he felt that he was used to shouting Ergou, and suddenly heard his name, and the sense of disobedience was too strong.
But Pan Xiang didn't know, his face immediately turned red, and he glared at Hao Dong fiercely: "Young master, I'll go now!" He was laughed at by Hao Dong, but he remembered it.
Just like this, it came and went, and the sky was still full of red clouds just now, but at this time, Siye was already dark. There was still a glimmer of gold on the western horizon, and the sky over the entire lake area had turned a deep royal blue.
The weather was fine during the day today, but now it was getting dark, but the clouds were gathering together. But for the time being, it doesn't look like it's going to rain, so you're not worried.
Hao Dong, who was accustomed to the night view of the city, thought that it was almost dark to this extent, and got into the tent to tidy up his sleeping bag. When he came out again, he was shocked, it turned out that the level just now could only be regarded as dusk at best!
There are not many places in the lake area where there are lights, and here is the building on Bird Island, where there are some more obvious electric lights. Where they were, far from the lake, the light was not obvious at all.
The surrounding tent hotels are not serious hotels invested and resettled by large units, many of them are small hotels opened privately by locals with more active ideas, and some still block their own big tents in half to take in guests.
In such tents, the lights are also very dim, some are small generators with their own light bulbs, and some are even lit oil lamps. In this vast grassland, it can almost be ignored directly.
Under such lighting conditions, it was really dark all around, and you could barely see your fingers. If it weren't for the lighting in their own camp and the bonfire being lit at this time, Hao Dong felt that he would not be able to tell whether it was too dark or whether he was simply suffering from night blindness.
But when he looked up, he knew that the possibility of suspecting that he had night blindness was not there. Because if he is night blind, then he will not be able to see the magnificent beauty above his head.
It was thousands of starlight, and the sky flickered and flickered because of the shallow thin clouds. But that doesn't stop them from showing the world their immensity.
It was a great shock that seemed to come out of the depths of history, a deadly force that attracted those who watched them; They have been here since ancient times, silently overlooking the vicissitudes of this land, silently and endlessly.
Hao Dong looked up, and gradually, he felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
Qi Jue, who had never seen him by the bonfire, came to the tent and found that he was looking at the starry sky here and looking demented, which reminded Qi Jue of the first time he was here.
At that time, he was only a little more than four years old, and although he had to face the experience of family perversion the next day, that night, even though he was still so young, he was still deeply moved by such a scene.
That kind of emotion, even many years later, is still deeply remembered. Because there is no need to deliberately recall, as long as you see it again, you will definitely be deeply moved again.
So he didn't say anything, but stood beside Hao Dong and accompanied him to start a stay.
This made the two dogs by the campfire very depressed.
There were a lot of them in this group, and there was even a captive, and if it weren't for the fact that they didn't need much help at first glance, they would have already been discovered that something was wrong.
Therefore, in order to avoid being exposed, they cannot ask the herders 100 meters away for help in many things, such as making dinner.
That's why he urgently needs a little mouse to appear now.
Not to mention that the guy never appeared, and even the little Qi Ye who went to find him never returned. This camp doesn't occupy much space, what the hell can those two guys do?!
The Danba brothers begged or bought some things from nearby herders, such as the bonfire in front of them. But this is not enough after all, no matter what, people are iron and rice is steel, without a chef, dinner will not appear by itself!
Fortunately, when Ergou was about to be irritable, Qi Jue and Hao Dong finally appeared from the corner of the camp. The second dog pounced with a strange scream: "Master Rat! You're back! Our family still expects you to feed you! ”
Hao Dong didn't seem right to listen to Ergou shouting his name, Hao Ye just said, what's the matter with the tongue curl on his head after the word Hao?
However, he didn't have time to distinguish carefully now, Qi Jue helped him block Ergou intentionally or unintentionally, but he couldn't stop the scorching gaze of a group of people staring at him next to the fire.
Although Hao Dong has not had a chance to show his skills after arriving here, under the publicity of Ergou and the auxiliary proof of the barbecue sauce in the ribs before, everyone is still looking forward to Hao Dong's skills.
Especially at this moment, it is dark, and after a day of tossing, everyone is hungry. At noon, I compressed the biscuits in the car and dealt with it, and at night, I hope to have something good to eat.
Hao Dong was under a cold sweat and was under great pressure, so he obediently went to the car to look through what he could use to make dinner. Ergou was very happy and first put out the barley wine, butter tea and tsamba that the Danba brothers had exchanged.
These are the specialties of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and you can't eat them when you get out of this piece.
Among them, barley wine is particularly popular with everyone.
After all, the plateau climate is very cold at night, and drinking some wine is a very enjoyable thing for people.
Moreover, the taste of barley wine itself is very sweet, mellow and not irritating, even women or children can drink it smoothly without choking. When a man drinks, it is like drinking water, and if he is not careful, he may pour too much.
But this kind of alcohol is also very strong, and if you really drink too much, you don't know if you're drunk and killed in a dream.
So when the queen saw Ergou bring out the wine, she immediately frowned: "Don't drink much, at most two bowls per person." ”
She can't control so many others, and she can't manage them, but the original members of her own expedition can't indulge. The group they came out today can be said to be complicated, if their team members are drunk, if something happens at night, it will be impossible to call the heavens and the earth.
Ergou also knew the queen's worries, although the wine was good, he didn't dare to drink more, so he could only toss butter tea and tsamba with all his might.
Butter tea is something that many people are not used to drinking.
In fact, it's not just a matter of not getting used to drinking, many people lose their appetite when they see the appearance of that thing. Because like many local foods, there is a very strange phenomenon of oil-water separation in the visual.
A bowl of butter tea, at a glance, a layer of oil on the surface, a thin and transparent water in the middle, and tea at the bottom, the layers are very clear, as if there is something in it to separate them.
Visually, this gives people who haven't drunk a hint of "brokenness".
This is determined by the physical characteristics of the tea and oil itself, and there is no good way to solve it. Of course, if there is a master of tea, there will also be an excellent finished product of oil and tea fusion, if you are lucky enough to be able to drink, you must thank God for the gift.
In addition, this kind of tea is salted, and it smells a little fishy of yak milk, which is not visually good, and the sense of smell is not too enjoyable, so many people refuse to taste it at the beginning.
But if you actually try it, you will know that the milk source for making butter tea is authentic and fresh milk, which does not look very good, but in fact the taste is quite mellow and very filling. As long as you can get used to the fishy smell, this thing is definitely an indispensable delicacy on the plateau.
