Tsering Quzhen, who was helping her mother, was very happy to hear Chen Xing and them say this, and said, "Dad said that you are not used to eating tsamba, but really, tsampa is very delicious." ”

Chen Xing smiled and asked, "Didn't you go to school?" ”

Tsering Quzhen's face changed and he stopped talking.

Tashi said: "Tsering Quzhen wants to stay at home and herd cattle with us, and he is also past the age of studying, so he will not read. ”

Chen Xing opened his mouth to persuade them, but his mind thought of their situation.

Nima Zhandui's family are herders and raise dozens of yaks and horses, and their husband and wife plus an elderly mother alone cannot complete the daily operations that herders need to do, such as herding cattle and milking cows.

Reading is certainly a good way out.

But when they all went to study, there was no one at home to help, and besides, the young people who studied were still willing to return to this grassland.

After going through a lot, Chen Xing's thoughts have also changed.

But he still muttered, "Literacy is also good." ”

"I'm literate, my mom taught me."

"That's still pretty good."

Chen Xing nodded and sat on a chair in the living room.

Xie Kaiji and they all sat next to him, and whispered: "I don't look very happy with you, it doesn't matter if others read or not." ”

"No, just a teacher came to mind."

李善 says:

"Education is not necessarily the only right way, you see this family, raising a large herd of yaks, more than ten horses, such a family may be much richer than us, peace of mind, have breakfast, I am very curious about the taste of tsamba."

Xie Kaiji said: "Be careful of diarrhea." ”

"What's this, I searched on the Internet, just wash my hands."

Li Shan's face was full of indifference.

What is Tsamba Baba?

The barley is ground into flour and fried, and then dipped in butter tea and kneaded into a ball to eat.

As long as you wash your hands, there is nothing in the process that will cause diarrhea.

Butter tea and tsampa were ready-made, and Tashi quickly brought them up, and the butter tea was poured out in a fruit processor, and it was hot butter tea, the color was still the color of milk tea, but it was darker.

Tsamba is still powder.

Chen Xing asked, "How is butter tea made?" ”

Tsering Quzhen said proudly: "It's very simple, boil water to make tea, and then don't use tea leaves, put salt, ghee and tea in a blender and stir." ”

Tashi said, "Go and cook the noodles." After driving her daughter away, she said: "Now that the electricity is on, this is how it is done, the traditional butter tea needs to be beaten by hand, and it is a little more fragrant than this, and I can make it for you once if I have time." ”

Xie Kaiji shook his head and said, "Our time is relatively tight, and we have to leave in a while." ”

They still have three days left on their vacation, and they have to drive back to the holy city to walk around, otherwise they won't be able to go to work in time.

"That's leaving?"

"I was already short of time, so I couldn't help it, but I saw everything I should have seen when I came to Tibet this time, and I didn't make a mistake."

Li Shan nodded again and again when he heard this.

Although there were many dissatisfactions along the way, it was generally very satisfying, and the depression of working in a mountainous area for several years was expressed.

Chen Xing was thinking about it.

He was supposed to go, but Brother Jie sent a message saying that the heavy rain yesterday caused a mudslide on a section of the road leading to Ali, and he couldn't find the car for a while, so he wanted to stay here for a few more days and experience the life of Tibetan herdsmen.

Tashi taught two people how to knead tsamba for the first time.

She thinks that mainlanders have never eaten this kind of food, and it should be difficult to grasp the ratio of flour to ghee.

But Chen Xing and Li Shan are both people who have fished for fish, haven't they eaten tsamba and pinched fish feed? So it was successful when the second water was added.

Chen Xing took a small bite and tasted it.

The flour ground from wheat has a wheat fragrance, and the flour ground from barley also has a fragrance of barley, which is much more fragrant than the rice eaten at home, Chen Xing is not disgusted, and because of the addition of butter tea, there is also the fragrance of milk, the smoothness of the oil, and the saltiness of salt.

Take a bite of tsamba and drink a sip of butter tea.

After going back and forth twice, Chen Xing became familiar with this taste, and he ate it much faster.

He has a high tolerance for everything he can eat, food that is not bitter and has a good taste.

Butter tea is strange to eat on the first bite, but as long as you don't bring this drink into something as sweet and greasy as milk tea, you can quickly get used to the taste.

This is a tea leaf that is salty to drink, with a milky aftertaste and a little oil.

According to the method mentioned by Tsering Quzhen before, putting tea leaves, salt and water, and then adding butter should also have the same effect.

However, Chen Xing is used to eating, but Li Shan's side is not good, he can eat tsamba, but he can't drink butter tea, he has a natural resistance to this kind of drink with oil. After eating a few more bites of tsampa, he stopped and hurriedly beat his chest.

"Whew, it's infarcting me."

"I want tea."

Chen Xing reminded.

"Can't get used to it, what about you?"

"I think it's okay." Chen Xing said.

"I'm not used to it."

Tashi poured a bowl of butter tea for everyone, and Xiaobei also sang it, feeling that the taste was unique and he could drink it.

Xie Kaiji didn't touch it, he had tried it before, but he couldn't drink it.

"When we arrive in the holy city in a while, I will invite you to eat Tibetan food, sweet tea is still very delicious and drinkable, generally speaking, this kind of pastoral area farther away from the city likes to drink butter tea, and people in the city prefer sweet tea."

Xiaobei kept nodding his head in a humming voice, and then asked Chen Xing, "Are you leaving?" ”

"I ...... I'll stay one more day. ”

"Okay, then you have to be careful."

Chen Xing smiled and said, "I don't have a car, and the thing you often say can't come to me." ”

"Then you have to be careful." He said

Then the three of them went to discuss how much money should be given to the family, although they were a little unaccustomed to eating last night's accommodation and breakfast and dinner on these two days, but the attitude of the people was very good, and whether they were used to eating it was a matter of personal physique.

Tashi opened the door and came in with a bucket of milk.

Several of them were paused in chatting, but they were still making eye contact.

Xie Kaiji took out his wallet and counted the money under the table, Chen Xing took a look, there was not a lot of cash in it, everyone in modern society uses WeChat to pay, and rarely brings a large amount of cash, Xie Kaiji brings these for emergency use.

He took out six hundred yuan, took back his wallet, stood up and said, "Sister Tashi, there are six hundred yuan here, just because we paid for last night's accommodation, it's not much, mainly because we didn't bring much cash out, you will take it." ”

"Don't, don't, by the way, don't take money."

They are so good to Chen Xing and the four of them, and they don't want to collect money from tourists.

If it weren't for Chen Xing and the four of them, Nima Zhandui and her mother-in-law didn't know how long they would stay outside, and they were an elderly person, and it would not be good to hide from the rain in the car, and it would not be good to come back from the rain after walking for several kilometers all the way, most of them would be sick.

So they were only grateful to Chen Xing and the others, and they didn't think about collecting money at all.
