It has a wide range of ecological plasticity, and can be composed of various associated species under complex living environment conditions, and it is an important building species in salinized meadows. It has a strong root system, drought tolerance, salinity tolerance, adaptation to clay and sandy loam soils, from desert to arid areas, all harsh environments have its traces, it is like a guardian of sand, and it is also an indispensable plant in the life of people in the Northwest Territories.

Depending on the use, there are different harvest periods. The grass is harvested from May to July, and for weaving it is harvested from September to October.

After harvesting, it should be dried in time to prevent insects, fires and rodents.

Speaking of rodent prevention, it is located in the western inland area, and the protagonist of the "rodent infestation" is not the ordinary vole we often say, but the well-known ALS yellow squirrel, Bryde's vole, etc., and the high-altitude pika is also involved.

They eat leaves, stems, seeds, and shoots, consume grass, and build nests in the roots of the grass, disrupting root development until the plant dies.

We all know that there are three treasures in the northeast of our country, "ginseng, mink, and wula grass", and the northwest region also has three treasures, "sand dates, red willows, and sagebrush".

It can be seen that the important position of the grass in the minds of the locals.

After Tang Qinqin took the sun-dried leaves of the grass, he quickly found his feel and knitted a straw hat neatly.

"Oops, that's beautiful." Aunt Lan saw it and couldn't help but praise.

"Aunt Lan, don't praise her, she has learned a little," Lan Lan stuck out her tongue at Tang Qinqin, and then leaned over to look at Aunt Lan and the delicate handiwork in her hands with a longing expression: "You can teach me, Aunt Lan, I also want to make such a beautiful work of art." ”

"Yes, of course. Come, I'll teach you the most basic ...... first," Aunt Lan smiled softly.

She looked at these young people in front of her who were full of fresh youth, and couldn't help but think of her own youthful years.

Back then, I also had three or five friends to accompany me, frolicking together, shepherding sheep together, and looking forward to the future together.

I wonder if they are okay now?

……

"Come on, the fragrant roast leg of lamb is on the table!"

"The mutton dumplings here are also good!"

"Lamb soup just out of the pot! Don't miss it! ”

"Here comes the lamb stick bone!"

“……”

Snowflakes were flying outside, and the house was steaming, and the lively fireworks made everyone's faces flush and happy.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat! The big guy is coming over with his own eating guy! Peng Lei took a deep breath of the unique aroma of mutton on the table in front of him, and got up to greet him.

"Let's eat! Lamb rice is open! Uncle Li also raised his voice and smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, he hadn't been in such a happy mood for a long time.

He also invited the rest of the families, and everyone gathered together to have a lively and lively life.

There were not enough tables, and the kang was full of people, so the remaining players sat on the ground, accompanied by two and two, holding their big bowls full of mutton and stuffy rice.

Uncle Li and a few other old friends had already had a little wine, and they were chatting all over the world, while Aunt Lan got up from time to time to fill the bowls for the players, like an aunt in the canteen who was worried about the children's lack of food.

After eating, they left the table, some drunk Uncle Li snored again, and several other aborigines who also showed drunkenness were supported by several male players and sent back to their respective homes, and the rest consciously helped clean up the bones and wash the dishes and chopsticks, and the division of labor and cooperation was extremely efficient.

"Aunt Lan, what should I do with this sheepskin?" Lao Jiu squatted aside and asked.

Sheepskin can not only be used as clothing and bedding for cold and decoration, but also a traditional Chinese medicine, which can be taken internally or externally, and its functions are indicated: removing stasis; Weakness and fatigue, deficiency of lungs and spleen qi, bruises, swelling and pain, and blood from Gu poison.

Lao Jiu can now be regarded as a Chinese medicine idiot, and he is very interested in the medicinal materials recorded in medical books that can be used in medicine.

The value of good sheepskin is very high, and doing a good job in the processing of sheepskin is an important part of increasing income and improving economic efficiency.

And Uncle Li and Aunt Lan, who have been with sheep all year round and shepherd sheep for a living, have a lot of experience in how to get a beautiful and perfect sheepskin.

At this time, the sheepskin has been completely peeled off, and there is no need for players to watch another "Ga Yang Live Broadcast".

"The sheepskin in this state needs to be scraped with a knife to scrape off the residual meat scraps, fat and other substances, be careful not to scratch, we generally use a blunt knife to scrape." Aunt Lan said while skillfully operating, "We generally don't want these horn edges, they will affect the neatness of the skin and will be cut off." ”

When he saw a uniform and square sheepskin in Aunt Lan's hand, the players who were brave and self-conscious were eager to try it.

"Aunt Lan, can I try the rest of the sheepskin?" The male player scratched his head a little embarrassed after speaking, he knew that these sheepskins were the source of exchange for their daily necessities, so he added: "Can I buy it?" ”

"What a sensible and good boy," Aunt Lan smiled and nodded, "Come on, I'll leave it to you, Aunt Lan will give it to you." ”

There was an intimate simplicity in her smile.

The male player shook his head again and again and insisted on putting the money in Aunt Lan's hands.

"I took Aunt Lan's wishes. But what you have to do. "He was persistent.

"Aunt Lan, you help me watch, what I did wrong, I have to ask you for advice."

"Okay." Aunt Lan nodded.

For such a humble, studious, well-behaved and polite young man, who can bear to refuse?

……

"Nice, decent. Our final step is to marinate it with salt and dry it. When the weather is bad, you can also put it next to the fire and bake it slowly, but be sure to pay attention to the heat and be patient. Aunt Lan affirmed the male player's "debut" in sheepskin handling and continued to advise.

"Hahaha, I succeeded!" Players can't help but dance with joy.

Recently, he has been involved in sheep herding in the game, and he has slowly adapted and liked his new identity as a shepherd.

For the sheep with treasures all over his body, if it weren't for the wrong season, he really wanted to try to see if shaving the sheep was really super decompressing.

After two days of heavy snow outside, the sky finally cleared.

Everyone worked together to clear the snow on the main road and opened the way for Uncle Li, who was about to leave for the town to exchange for daily necessities.

When Uncle Li led the horse over, the players learned that Uncle Li had not only raised sheep, but also horses and a few camels in the backyard.

The horses and camels are a little old, and Uncle Li doesn't use them much anymore, but takes good care of them and provides for them.

When they were young, they accompanied him through hardships, coming and going in the wind and rain, silently accompanying him through spring, summer, autumn and winter.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

He also really respects these old guys who have been with them for many years.

With the sheepskins and handicrafts he had accumulated before, Uncle Li set off under Aunt Lan's advice.

The idle players are worried that there is no excitement in winter, so they all follow Uncle Li to the town for a walk.
