Kony's home was not in the Altai city, but in a nearby county, and it was at least a two-hour drive from there, so Kony called a friend to pick him up.

In fact, Chen Xing can find a car by himself, but he can't bear Kony's enthusiasm. After calculating the time, Chen Xing went downstairs and waited on the side of the road.

This city is not much different from the mainland, except that the various stalls on the road have a bit of Uyghur characteristics, and then the sky is very beautiful, and it is not the same as the good looking in Tibet.

Compared to the Tibetan sky, the sky here is more prosperous and open. The sky in Tibet is like a sky arranged with countless large cotton to block the sun, which is shocking enough, but not detailed enough.

The clouds here are not as big as those in Tibet, but they are delicate enough. It may not be obvious during the day, but Chen Xing observed it carefully last night, the night sky here is like a velvet sprinkled with broken diamonds, and every star is unreservedly shining its own light on the local people.

If you want to shoot the starry sky, this may also be an option that does not lose to Tibet. Chen Xing's time management was still very good, and after only coming down and waiting for a few minutes, a car stopped in front of Chen Xing.

The window of the driver's seat opened, and a handsome young Uyghur man asked Chen Xing, "Hello, are you called Chen Xing?" ”

"It's me, hello hello." Chen Xing greeted warmly. This person drove for two hours just to pick him up, and Chen Xing still felt a little embarrassed.

He glanced at Chen Xing several times, and said very convincingly: "No wonder Kony said that I will definitely know who you are when I get to the position, come, good brother, get in the car quickly." "He speaks in the same way as Kony, with a self-familiar style.

Chen Xing put his things away, got into the car and asked, "What do you say, what did that guy Kony say about me?" The young man started the car and said, "He asked me to come to the Huashen Hotel, and the most handsome person around me after speaking downstairs must be you, if I don't meet such a person, let me call you." ”

"......" Chen Xing was powerless to refute. That's a boast of yourself, right? But if you say it, doesn't it seem like you're too narcissistic?

"How old are you?" He asked again.

“20”

"It's good, it's young, I'm 26, and I haven't mixed it up yet. Koney said that you have been admitted to a foreign school, and you are considered an international student? ”

"Yes."

"It's good, are you in love?"

"Not yet."

"Then you must have come here to the right place, our Uyghur girls are all beautiful, and they all dance, folk dance, good-looking." Chen Xing snorted and agreed.

In terms of his aesthetics, the Uyghurs really grew up in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have missed Kony's sister so much.

In fact, after so long, Chen Xing has never gotten a photo or video of Kony's sister, or anything else, and has long forgotten what she looks like, and he has only secretly seen a few times when Kony was chatting with his family.

I just remember that she was beautiful.

"That's right, I have a younger sister ......" Chen Xingmeng looked up at him! No way?

"What are you so surprised for? I'll introduce you to my sister, who is 19 years old and loves to take pictures. She heard that her big brother Koney knew a professional photographer who could win awards abroad, so she asked me to treat you well, so that you could teach her two more tricks when the time came. ”

"Ah......" Chen Xing suddenly realized with some embarrassment. I see. It's that I'm thinking too much.

"That's no problem, no problem, but I'm not too good at shooting, as long as your sister isn't afraid that I'll teach her badly."

"Hahaha, teach badly? It's not going to be bad, she's like that in itself. "I can see that it's my brother. The vehicle is speeding all the way, and if you are driving the navigation now, it is estimated that the navigation has already reported more than ten or twenty times of speeding.

Drive so fast that many people will be scared. But in fact, this car gave Chen Xing the feeling that it was not dangerous, first of all, the road was very well repaired, it looked like a provincial road, but the road was wide and straight, and there were no other obstacles on the road except for some dust.

And after leaving the city, there are fewer vehicles coming and going. So even if you drive more than 100 yards, you don't feel much about the people in the car.

During this time, Chen Xing also became a little more familiar with the people who came to pick him up. His name is Awuli, and he is Kony's hair younger.

Mandarin is spoken in general, and like most people in Western Xinjiang, there is a mouthful of mutton skewers.

If he heard this accent on the street of his hometown, Chen Xing would immediately wonder if there was a new lamb skewer somewhere?

But in fact, many of the people who sell mutton skewers are mainlanders, and they just learn the pronunciation of people from Western Xinjiang.

Two hours flew by. The car drove into a small city. But again, all the facilities are very well maintained, the roads are wide, the facades of the buildings are pink, and all the houses around them look like they were built by an engineering team.

There are also many shops on the side of the street, street trees on the side of the road, and garbage cans. There are even garbage sorting bins.

Isn't Altai the farthest place in the western frontier? How could it be cultivated so well, this is completely inconsistent with Chen Xing's imagination here.

He had always thought that this place was the kind in the movie, with a very poor living environment, grazing for a living, and raising a lot of cattle and sheep.

That's why so many people go out to buy and sell lamb kebabs. And isn't this the Western Regions, which is also said in the texts I studied before...... The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains?

The latter sentence is why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, and the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. Good guys, it's not much different from mainland cities now.

Better than Tibet. It's so much better. The impression of many Tibetan places on Chen Xing is relatively backward, especially some Tibetan compatriots who are far away from the mass travel routes, and they still retain the simplicity of facing outsiders.

It's really ...... I don't know if I don't come, and I'm scared when I come. If you think about it, it seems that I have rarely heard of anything here before, and the media does not have much desire to report on this place.

The car was parked at the entrance of a complex. As soon as Chen Xing got out of the car, he saw Kony walking towards him with a smile on his face, carrying a bag of food that seemed to be food.

He came over and hugged Chen Xing and said, "I'm so happy that you can come, many of the students in our group don't have time, only two or three are willing to come." ”

"It's normal, there are still few people like me who don't have anything to do and run around all day and night, and still like to join in the fun."

"You're not without business, I've seen videos of you winning awards abroad in the group, and you look so handsome in a suit to receive the award." Chen Xing smiled and said, "Are you fascinated by your sister?" ”

"Why are you still worrying? It's been a long time, and I've said that my sister doesn't like men like you, and she can't even take a few sips of wine. ”

"Ah......h

"This and this." Konys pulled Chen Xing and said,

"Let's go, I've prepared a lot of things, but I'm a little anxious about the time, and I'm not very well prepared, I hope you don't be surprised." Kony has been in the mainland for a long time, and many of his habits are more biased towards mainlanders.

But he also has Uighur traditions. Friends come from afar, and there must be a big celebration. Ah Wuli parked the car, and when he saw that Kony was going to pull Chen Xing away, he hurriedly trotted over and said, "I, me, me, don't forget me, I helped you pick up Chen Xing." Kony said, "Do you want me to invite you to my house?" Whoever is troubled by the son must go and come by himself. Ah Wuli raised his head and laughed twice, and said, "I won't go today, in the future, in the future, you can bring Chen Xing to our house to play when you are free." He was just joking, he knew that Chen Xing was a guest at their house today.

The two often saw each other, and they separated very simply, without saying much. However, he added a friend with Chen Xing.

This was agreed in the car before, but it was only because Awuli was going to drive, so they waited until they got out of the car to leave each other's contact information.

Kony took Chen Xing upstairs. Don't ask what kind of building it is, this one is all this pink residential building, the kind of six- or seven-story building.

What the buildings in an ordinary small county town look like, these buildings are also what they look like. Their house was on the third floor, and as soon as Chen Xing entered the house, he was directly startled.

An aunt held a golden basin and greeted Chen Xing with a smile on her face.

"Hello, welcome to our house, wash your hands first." The heat coming out of the water could be seen as hot water, and there was a towel next to it.

What does that mean? Wash hands of? There is no mention on the Internet that Uyghurs have this custom. Before he went to someone's house, he would search for some etiquette for guests, but there was very little useful information, except that he should not bring pork with him when he went to a religious family...... Anyway, who will come to visit and bring pork this year?

There are some other taboos, it's useless, as long as you know a little bit of etiquette, you won't do it, and it has nothing to do with a single region.

Kony said to Chen Xing: "Wash your hands, this is our custom when facing distinguished guests." Chen Xing thought to himself that I was not a distinguished guest, and then washed his hands a little embarrassed and wiped them with a towel next to the basin.

Kony and Chen Xing said: "That was my mother just now, he and my dad both live in the countryside, this time I have to get married and they come up, but my dad has to come in two days, sit, don't stand." Chen Xing sat on the sofa and looked left and right in the room.

It seems to be a new house, the walls are white, the rooms are tidy, and even the chandelier on the ceiling is spotless.

The inside of Chen Xing's house will not be so clean even during the Chinese New Year. It should have been specially prepared by Kony for marriage.

In fact, he was a little apprehensive in his heart. The better Kony's family treats him, the more uneasy Chen Xing will become, because he didn't bring any gifts this time.

How did he know that he was coming here directly? The car is parked downstairs in the complex, and there are not many shops around.

Kony put the bag he had been carrying not far away, like a table where they were eating, and said, "Did you have breakfast?" ”

"Eat, definitely eat."

"That's no lunch, haha, I know you're coming to our Western Xinjiang for the first time, I'll get you some of our characteristics here." The aunt walked out of the kitchen with a plate in one hand and said, "I brought this from home, I grew it myself, see if you like it or not, I'll go back to the room to watch TV first, and you can talk slowly." Kony also took the plate out, and said with a smile: "Mom, I said that you don't need to be so polite." ”

"I don't understand you young people, I'd better watch TV." Kony also put the things he was holding on the coffee table and said, "You eat first, there are still some things, I'll get them." ”

"Enough!! That's enough! ”

"It's in the kitchen, it's all done." Just walked back and forth a few more times, and the originally empty coffee table was instantly stuffed with all kinds of food.

There is the naan that is very common here, there is the thing that Kony just brought back, there is a fruit bowl with a lot of fresh fruit in it, as well as thin-skinned walnuts, jujubes, dried apricots, black plums, sun-dried black raisins, toffee, and jam.

Kony pointed to what he had been carrying just now and said, "This is called baked buns in our place, the dough is very thin naan, and the bread in it is mutton, which is delicious, and here is naan, we cut it, and it is particularly delicious when dipped in grape sauce." Chen Xing heard other things, listened very carefully, and was a little eager to try, but when he heard Kony's introduction to the baked buns, Chen Xing suddenly had an appetite.

He still likes to eat salty and fragrant things. If the naan has to be dipped in a little sweet jam, then Chen Xing might as well eat the naan directly.

The baked buns looked a bit like tiny egg scones, only a third the size of a mobile phone, bulging, and it was obvious that there was bread inside.

And they all say that they are baked buns, and when they are baked, there is more burnt yellow on the baked buns than egg scones.

This is what Kony just bought, and now it can't be said to be hot in his hand, but it's still warm. Kony also took a piece and said to Chen Xing: "You can't eat this directly in your hands, he has a lot of gravy in it, you have to bite it from the top, and then eat it slowly, you taste one?" ”

"OKOK, don't worry, I'm good at eating this juicy stuff." Where did he come from?

Xi'an. Isn't the meat bun eaten slowly from the top? However, no matter how you eat the meat bun, the meat juice will flow, and there must be something to hold it.

If you take it empty-handed, it is estimated that in less than two minutes, your whole hand will be filled with the taste of meat buns. Baked buns are hard to hold in your hand.

A finger tapping on it makes a sound like a hollow wall. When you bite into it, it is completely crispy, like eating potato chips or biscuits, and the thin dough is chewy and has a meaty taste.

I took a bite of it, and the flesh inside was revealed. It smells like simple mutton, pepper and salt, and there is no extra seasoning, so the mutton has a bit of a smell.

But Chen Xing is no longer a person who has just walked out of Sichuan Province, and has experienced the baptism of mutton with a smell such as mutton steamed buns and meat sandwich buns in Xi'an, and the mutton in this kind of roasted bun is simply pediatric.

Fragrant and crispy, the lamb is still very large, and it is definitely a blessing for meat eaters. Chen Xing ate several in a row.

Then look at the other fruits and snacks on the table...... The satisfied stomach also made two other sounds of its own in this case.

I love Xijiang. Yes, it's the stomach that's saying, I guess he wants to eat an authentic big plate of chicken.
