Chapter 74: Tibetan Meal
The person who repaired the car was a Han Chinese, but he grew up in Tibet and was named Wang Heng.
As soon as he started repairing the car, Nima Zhandui and his family set out and began to make preparations before the migration.
He stacked the luggage he had packed long ago and put it next to the car, and when the car was ready, he immediately drove on the road and set up the tent at today's destination. Tashi began to drive livestock.
In nomadic households, most of the work is done by women, such as herding yaks, milking cows, and making dairy products.
Dairy products are an important source of income for the Nima Champui family, and they will sell them to Dangxiong and even to the holy city.
Fresh milk is the raw material for making sweet tea, and after the milk is refined, the ghee made can be used to brew butter tea, so in any restaurant, the price of butter tea is also higher than sweet tea.
Chen Xing couldn't help much, only helped to get a little something.
In fact, he really wanted to learn how to ride a horse, but Nima Zhandui didn't have time to teach him now, and Chen Xing didn't dare to sit on it by himself, so he had to give up.
He sat down next to Wang Heng and asked, "How did your family come to Tibet?" ”
He was lying under the car and spoke standard Mandarin.
"My grandfather is the third batch of college students to support Tibet, and after he came, he lived in Dangxiong, uniting the local herdsmen, my mother came here to do a handicraft business, opened a shop, I can take you to see it in a while, take care of our business."
I have already talked about it just now, Chen Xing took his car back to Dangxiong.
He snorted and said, "You're still a rich second generation, and you still repair your own car?" ”
"Haha, I'm a motorcycle seller, and I'm friends with Brother Zhandui, what about you? How did you get here, and stayed here for one night. ”
"Ordinary tourists, it's an accident to come here."
"It can be seen that it was an accident."
"How?"
He climbed out from under the car to rest and said to Chen Xing:
"The grass of Brother Zhandui's house is often driven in and pressed, so he thought of a way, every time he comes in, he will block the compulsory fee, and every time he comes in, he will stop the compulsory fee, and after a long time, tourists complain on the Internet, and there are a lot fewer people who drive in."
"Huh? What should I do if someone else calls the police? ”
"Outsiders don't know the situation, the police don't know, besides, those tourists are trying to evade tickets to see Namco, and it doesn't matter if they call the police."
"Yes."
He went under the car to repair the car again, and said: "I'll get it here right away, you go and borrow a motorcycle helmet from Brother Zhandui, anyway, he won't need it during this time, I'll help you return it to him when the time comes." ”
"Okay."
Chen Xing stood up and patted the soil on his pants, and went into the house to find someone.
It was half an hour's drive from here to Dangxiong, and he didn't dare to get on a motorcycle without protection.
The cold wind will definitely tear small holes in people's faces.
After ten minutes, the car was repaired, Wang Heng went in to start it, and came out and shouted: "It's repaired, Brother Zhandui!" It's not a battery problem! ”
Nima Zhandui also shouted: "Okay, thank you, come and eat barbecue in the evening!" ”
"Okay!"
He turned around and saw Chen Xing looking at the horse, and said with a smile: "Let's go, you have to stay here for a few days anyway, and when Brother Zhandui is not busy the day after tomorrow, you can ask him to teach you to ride a horse, anyway, he has nothing to do in winter." ”
Chen Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know how long I'll stay." ”
I made an appointment with others to go to Kailash to turn the mountain, and said that I had to do it, and it was not good to change my mind halfway.
I hope Yu Jie's side will be slower.
Wang Heng took off his overalls and put them in the toolbox, got on his motorcycle and said to Chen Xing: "Let's go, take you to Dangxiong for a walk, but I still have something to do, I'll come back to you when I have to eat in the afternoon." ”
Chen Xing went to get his luggage and sat down with his helmet on.
Motorcycles gallop all the way.
It's cold in November, especially on the Dangxiong side, which is even colder due to its proximity to the Himalayas.
When he got out of the car, his hands were numb.
"Chen Xing, don't you go to the souvenir shop opened by my mother to buy something, don't say anything else, yak meat, saffron or something, it's definitely genuine, and if you buy more, you can send it home free of charge."
"No, no, thank you."
He didn't plan to go home for a short time, and the gifts he sent back didn't have a sense of ceremony, so he might as well bring them with his own hands when the time came.
"That's fine." Wang Heng stepped onto the motorcycle very chicly, twisted the accelerator and said, "Go first, and contact you later." ”
"Okay."
Chen Xing carried his travel bag again and walked on the very familiar main road of Dangxiong.
It was here yesterday that he got into Xie Kaiji's car.
The restaurant is less than 100 meters ahead.
He walked slowly along the street, and the snow-capped mountains around him were like the moon in the sky, and they would always be there wherever you went.
Chen Xing began to feel that this town was also very charming.
This place is too close to Namco, but the contrast between one is a remote city in the wind and dust, and the other is a fairy lake that is also called a pearl among the world's many scenic spots, and the contrast between the two makes Chen Xing very fascinated.
There must be secrets I don't know about this county, Chen Xing thought to himself.
As he walked, he was also looking for where to eat today's lunch.
Isn't traveling just to see the scenery, and then eat and drink, you can't always find a Sichuan restaurant here, you still have to eat local food.
There are many Tibetan restaurants, don't use the name much, you just need to see if the door of the store has the kind of Tibetan-style fabric curtain, and then look up at the sign, it is a Tibetan restaurant.
Generally speaking, the taste of a restaurant with many customers is definitely not bad, but with these curtains, Chen Xing can't see the situation inside the store at all.
I found a random one and pushed the door in.
There are quite a lot of people.
Everyone looked at Chen Xing in unison, and this kind of formation made Chen Xing's heart chuckle.
What's going on?
I've come into someone's rented restaurant?
It was the waiter who came over to relieve Chen Xing.
"Hello, would you like something to eat? Here's the menu. ”
When Chen Xing sat down in the empty space near the door, those people's eyes were taken back and they were eating quietly.
The chairs in this restaurant are sofa-style, you can sit very deep, it feels like two huge square chairs are joined together, and the table cushions, tablecloths and other things have the style of the outside door curtains, and the colors are very bright.
Flip through the menu.
The first page shows two large and small hot pots, and the prefix is Tibetan hot pot, with more than 500 large portions and more than 400 small portions.
Tut.
This price.
It's higher than the Sichuan restaurant outside.
Continue looking at the menu.
Lalam jelly, looking at it, is also jelly, 58 yuan.
Kham Hanzi (barbecue), 288.
lotus root saffron, 58
Secret Pulled Beef, 68
Yak sashimi, 228.
Why don't you suddenly want to eat Tibetan food? From the pictures on the menu, it looks like the usual snacks bought at the supermarket, tear it and pour it on the plate, the price is more than three times more expensive, and this money is too easy to make, right?
Vegetables are also very expensive, but the vegetables here have to be shipped from outside, and the shipping cost is not simple.
Chen Xing ordered snowy yak paw (cow's trotters), stir-fried yak meat with sour radish, and curry potatoes.
Two meat and one vegetable, plus one sweet tea.
Sweet tea is really cheap, ten yuan a pot, the boss said that he hadn't seen tourists come to her house for dinner for a long time, and let Chen Xing drink a free refill.
