The bearded old man's name was Bileg, a name that means wise man in Mongolian. The old man lived up to his name and was the smartest of their tribe.

As soon as Li Ping'an got out of the car, the old man noticed Li Ping'an's clothes and the watch in his hand, and when Li Ping'an waved to them, the old man with excellent eyesight observed Liu Ping'an's palm again.

Through observation, the old man found that Li Ping'an's hands were delicate and had no calluses, and the old man came to a conclusion through careful observation that the young man who had just gotten off the car was definitely a child from a wealthy family, and he was also a young cadre in a large state-owned factory.

In Bileg's view, young people love face, and there is a beautiful lesbian next to him, as long as he gives enough face, this guy's shot is definitely more generous than that of a truck driver, so he let his grandson return to the yurt and take a Hada out to give Li Ping'an face.

Li Ping'an naturally didn't know what the idea of Bileg was fighting, and after being confused, he hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce himself: "Hello uncle, my name is Li Ping'an, this is my lover Ding Qiunan, what do you call it?" ”

"Hello Comrade Li, my name is too long, you can call me Uncle Bileg, they are all members of my family" Bilege smiled and introduced Li Ping'an.

After everyone finished introducing each other, Bile Gra grabbed Li Ping'an's arm and invited Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan to sit in the yurt.

The Yurt of the Bilegg family has been looking for some years, and its appearance has been beaten by wind and rain for many years, and it looks dirty, and it is not as good-looking as it was in later generations of TV.

The interior of the yurt is even shabby, with only a table and a few stools, a pile of miscellaneous items in the corner, and nothing else.

Bilegra sat on the stool with Li Ping'an's little couple, and then said something to his wife in Mongolian, and Bileg's wife enthusiastically poured a cup of milk tea for the little couple.

When he went out and was unfamiliar with the place, Li Ping'an was still vigilant about the Bilege family, and did not drink the milk tea in the cup, and was ready to drink it himself after the old man had drunk it.

"Comrade Li, Comrade Ding, you drink some milk tea first and wait a while, there are guests behind me, the convoy from your Sijiu City, when they arrive, we will have dinner" Bileg said in an apologetic tone.

Hearing what Bilegh said, Li Ping'an became interested, there is no mobile phone these days, and it is naturally impossible to have a landline in the yurt, how did they get in touch?

Although there were doubts in his heart, Li Ping'an didn't ask, just chatted with Bilege casually, in which Bilege consciously asked what he was doing on a business trip to the grassland, but Li Ping'an didn't tell the truth, and casually found a topic and revealed it.

Through chatting with Li Ping'an, he naturally knew that Li Ping'an was wary of his family and was unwilling to tell the truth.

For this situation, Bileg didn't care, after all, it was a stranger who met for the first time, and it was normal to be a little guarded, and it would be strange if he was defenseless.

The three of them chatted together for a while about the customs on the grassland, about half an hour or so, there was the roar of a car engine outside, listening to this movement is not small, at least seven or eight trucks can have this movement.

After hearing the movement, the old man got up and said to Li Ping'an with a smile: "My guests are here, do you want Comrade Li and Comrade Ding to go with me to greet the guests?"

Li Ping'an had nothing to do with the invitation of the old man Billeg, and the three of them stood up and walked out of the yurt together.

When I walked out of the tent, I saw seven or eight trucks parked next to the yurt in a row, and some people on the trucks had already gotten out of the truck, waving and greeting from a distance.

"These are the convoys that came back from Hoh, and they are the convoys of your Sijiucheng Iron and Steel Plant to transport materials to Hohshi" While waiting for the four seasons to go this way, Bileg sat down and introduced to Li Ping'an.

After listening to Bileg's introduction, Li Ping'an knew that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he was indeed doing business.

The driver who parked the car quickly came to the side of the Billeg, and greeted the Bilegg with a smile.

The leader of this group of drivers naturally noticed the existence of Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan, and after greeting Bileg, he pouted in the direction of Li Ping'an, and said with a smile: "Lao Bi, do you have other comrades?" ”

"Yes, yes, it is also your comrades in Sijiu City, who arrived a little earlier than you, waiting for you to eat together" Bileg and the other party are very familiar, and it seems that they have been doing business together.

When the leading driver heard that Li Ping'an was also from Sijiu City, he glanced at Li Ping'an in surprise, then walked to Li Ping'an's side and stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello comrade, I am from the steel factory, which unit are you from?" ”

"It's all a system, I'm from the rolling mill" Li Ping'an smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake it with the other party, and did not say his name, in this place they are all rushing to do business with the grassland people, and it is better not to know each other's names.

The driver of the steel mill nodded, pointed to Bileg, and said with a smile: "Comrade is the first time to enter the grassland, Lao Bi is still very reliable, we have dealt with a lot, and we have not done a single split."

"Yes, it seems that I have found the right place this time, come on, everyone smokes" Li Ping'an was very grateful for the other party's reminder, and hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket to distribute cigarettes to the drivers.

In the conversation between Li Ping'an and the driver just now, Bilege didn't interject, just looked at it with a smile, and when Li Ping'an finished smoking, Bilegg beckoned everyone to go to the yurt.

At this time, the yurt had been cleaned up by Billeg's family, and four small tables were set up in the room, and Bilegg beckoned everyone to take a seat.

After everyone sat down for a while, the three of Bileg's wife, son and daughter-in-law, each holding a plate of mutton walked in, not long after, the table in front of Li Ping'an was full of beef and mutton, it seemed that the air-dried meat was re-cooked, Li Ping'an tasted it and tasted good, the only fly in the ointment is that there is no staple food, it is all his mother's meat, and he is a little tired of eating too much.

Herdsmen are herdsmen in the end, and in this era when the urban population averages one pound of meat a year, people can eat all-you-can-eat meat every day.

After everyone was full of wine and food, the leading driver called Bilegh out, and after the two of them muttered outside, they quickly called a few drivers out of the yurt, and through the moment the curtain was lifted, Li Ping'an saw Bileg's son carrying a big bag.

Li Ping'an, who knew that he was carrying private goods outside, did not go out to check, but stayed in the yurt, pretending not to know anything, and bragging and farting with the driver who stayed.

Soon, the leading driver walked in from outside with a smile on his face, and said to everyone with a smile: "Okay, now that you are full of wine and food, you are ready to leave for home."

After hearing the leader's words, everyone hurriedly packed up their things and got up, and after saying a word to Li Ping'an, they walked out of the yurt and prepared to get in the car and set off.

Seeing the convoy go away, Li Ping'an returned to the yurt and talked about the business with Bilege with a smile: "Uncle Bileg, our factory needs 1,000 catties of beef and mutton, I don't know if you have a way to solve it here."

After hearing that Li Ping'an needed a thousand catties of beef and mutton, Bilege's smiling face collapsed, and he spread his hands with an embarrassed face: "Comrade Li, although I am a herdsman, we also have a production team, and we can do business with you secretly, and you can sell one or two sheep, even if you give me more money, I don't dare to sell it."

"I can give you the purchase certificate of opening our factory, I don't know if there is a way to be accommodating" Li Ping'an still doesn't give up, if it can be solved in the real world, Li Ping'an really doesn't want to take so much meat out of the warehouse, this thing is a risky thing.

Bileg was silent for a while, but he still shook his head: "Comrade Li, this thing is impossible to achieve, our herdsmen's cattle and sheep must be sold to the state through the production team, and they are not allowed to be sold to other factories, let alone sold privately."

Well, there is no way to do it now, so I can only sneak out of the warehouse with a thousand catties of pork.

Suddenly, Bilege seemed to think of something, and asked Li Ping'an tentatively: "Do you want wild donkey meat?" ”

"This is what we need for a dinner in our factory, we can't do anything with donkey meat, we can't burn a donkey meat or take a piece of sauce donkey meat to gnaw," Li Ping'an shook his head and explained.

After listening to this, Bileg nodded in disappointment, the deal is indeed a big deal, but he can't eat it, and the yurt fell silent for a while.

"That's it, Uncle Bileg, how much beef and mutton can you sell me here, I want it all here, and I'll think of other ways to get the rest" Seeing that he couldn't get the full amount of beef and mutton, Li Ping'an could only retreat to the second, and he could get some of it.

Hearing this, Bilege hurriedly said: "If you have fresh meat, I can only give you two sheep, and if you want meat, I have a lot of air-dried meat here."

"What's the price?"

"Five cents of live sheep, one piece of air-dried meat"

Air-dried meat is the traditional food of the Mongolian people, when the Mongolian cavalry fought in the past, the air-dried meat became the main military food of the Mongolian cavalry with its anti-hunger, easy to carry, easy to eat and other characteristics. Every autumn, when the cattle and sheep on the grassland are crazy to survive the winter, the herdsmen will slaughter a batch of cattle and sheep that cannot survive this winter, make them into air-dried meat and store them as the main ration for a year.

After three catties of fresh meat are dried, only one catty of finished products remains, and almost all the moisture and fat in the meat are air-dried, and all the rest are lean meat, which is definitely not a food that can be eaten every day in the eyes of later generations.

Unlike later generations, air-dried meat is lean and unpopular in the market, and basically no one buys it. Now the ordinary people in the customs are short of oil and water in their stomachs, and they only buy big fat meat, and no one wants to buy fresh and lean meat, let alone air-dried meat, which is more expensive than fresh meat.

"Yes, then I want two sheep, and if you dry the meat, you can also get me a hundred and ten catties, in addition, my daughter-in-law and I are going to play on the grassland for a few days, I don't know if you can find someone to accompany me to visit the grassland, I can give the fee, one dollar a day" After discussing the matter of meat, Li Ping'an took the opportunity to put forward the idea of finding a tour guide.

After negotiating such a big deal, Bileg was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and secretly said in his heart that his vision of seeing people was really accurate, Li Ping'an's business alone, not to mention the two sheep, just in terms of the number of air-dried meat, was already a group of people in the wok.

Regarding Li Ping'an's request to find a tour guide, Bileg naturally agreed: "My grandson can speak Chinese, I can let him take you to have a good time on the grassland."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Li Ping'an had no opinion, Bile Ge walked out of the tent, and after a while, he walked in from outside with a twelve or thirteen-year-old child wearing a national costume.

"This is my grandson Batu, a newly rising eagle on the grassland, very familiar with the surrounding situation, and can be used as your guide" Bilege was very satisfied with his grandson Batu, and proudly introduced to Li Ping'an.

Xiao Batu bowed slightly, put his right hand into a fist on his chest, and made a standard Mongolian salute to Li Ping'an and his wife, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Hello, guests from Sijiu City, I am Batu, a young eagle on the grassland who is about to soar in the sky."

Looking at the child pretending to be an adult, Ding Qiunan felt that this child was very cute, and couldn't help laughing.

Ding Qiunan got up and stood up from the stool, came to Xiao Batu and touched Xiao Batu's head, smiled and took out a piece of White Rabbit toffee from his satchel, shook it in front of Xiao Batu's eyes, and said with a smile: "Little Batu, Auntie has White Rabbit toffee here, do you want to eat it?" ”

"Eat"

Children are children, Xiao Batu almost drooled when he saw the white rabbit toffee in Ding Qiunan's hand, and answered Ding Qiunan's question cleanly.

The contrast between the front and back was too great, and the performance of Little Batu made all three people in the room laugh, and Bileg rubbed Little Batu's head even more indulgently.

As for Ding Qiunan, he couldn't close his mouth happily, and happily grabbed a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his satchel and stuffed it all into the pocket of Xiao Batu's clothes.

White rabbit toffee is a rare thing on the grassland, the little Batu grows so big, the number of times he has eaten the white rabbit is only a handful, there is no white rabbit toffee in the supply and marketing cooperatives on the grassland, only when the convoy of the big city comes, some drivers look at the little Batu cute, will give a white rabbit toffee, after tasting the taste of the white rabbit, the little Batu has been thinking about the white rabbit toffee, hoping that one day the White Rabbit toffee can be realized.

Seeing that Ding Qiunan was so generous and gave a large handful of toffee, her happy eyes couldn't be seen, and she said good things to the little Ding girl.

The milk resources on the grassland are abundant, and now the herdsmen on the grassland want to drink goat's milk, and the freshly milked goat milk has not undergone secondary processing, the taste is really not good, and there is a great smell, and the average person is really not used to drinking that thing.
