There wasn't much the Black Khan clan could offer, except for the skins of the animals they were born with, and some wood and herbs. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the Tianshan Mountains are rich in resources, and the life of the Black Khan people is naturally good. It's just that the Black Khan clan did not carry out diplomacy with Yizhou thoroughly, which also led to the fact that the Black Khan clan could not effectively develop the Tianshan Mountains, and they still lived the most primitive life.

The Tianshan Mountains are more than 2,000 miles long, and the widest place is hundreds of miles, and Yizhou is only a part of the Tianshan Mountains.

After walking 20 miles into the Tianshan Mountains, the whole world changed. Originally, Yizhou was covered with yellow sand and gravel everywhere, but after arriving here, it turned out to be a grassland, a very neat and beautiful grassland.

From the yellow world to the green world, the first feeling is that the eyes are refreshing and comfortable, the green eyes are more nourishing, and the green grass makes people very excited, I really want to lie down and roll a few times, and express my thoughts about the green grassland.

The wide green grassland is dotted with some larch and snow ridge spruce, and from a distance there are some 'hanaboo', which are commonly used by nomads, in fact, they are nomadic tents, but they are far more suitable for living than tents, and they are well equipped and easy to disassemble. The locals call it 'Hana'.

Zong Xin said: "Finally, we see the grassland again, we haven't seen green plants for a month." The nomads in the distance should also be hospitable, so stop by and ask how it is going here?"

"These nomads are subordinate inhabitants of the Black Khan, and they pay an annual tribute to the Black Khan, who allow them to graze on the grasslands. Although these nomads don't like it either, the meadows here are barren, and only the vast amount of grass near the Tien Shan Mountains can be eaten by livestock. Therefore, the local nomads will buy grazing time from the Black Khan every once in a while. They hate the Black Khans more than we do, because the Black Khans ask for a high price, but they can't afford not to give it. ”

Zong Xin nodded and said, "Just ask them, Xiaobai ran up." ”

After Xiaobai heard his master's order, he immediately took four wolf paws and ran in the grassland. The fragrance of grass and the soft land here also make Xiaobai miss it very much, and the temperature is also very comfortable, it feels very similar to the Khitan side, and it is very enjoyable to run, so I didn't control my speed for a while, and ran into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Jing Qiong looked stupid, what is so fast? In front of her eyes, she saw a white light flash, and then disappeared, and then the white light appeared near Hanaboo in the distance...... What's going on?

Everyone watched Zong Xin behind Xiaobai get off the wolf very chicly, and then supported Xiaobai's body with one hand, stretched his front legs, and arched his hind legs......

'Vomit~~Vomit~~'

Although the distance is long, everyone understands the meaning of this action, which is to vomit. Xiaobai's speed was too fast, and Zong Xin, who was sitting on his back, couldn't stand the stimulation of this speed, so he actually vomited. It is conceivable how fast Xiaobai's speed is, and even people like Zong Xin vomited.

The others also increased their speed a little to catch up, and the herdsmen also sensed that there was someone outside, and they came out of Ha at the moment they came out......

"Mom~" turned around in horror and returned to Ha. The first time they saw Xiaobai, they all had similar reactions, but the people in the Central Plains knew that Xiaobai was Zongxin's wolf, and the Uighurs didn't know about it, only that there was a huge white wolf outside, and the wolf wanted to eat people.

At this time, Xiaobai was very interested, because he saw a sheepfold, which was full of big fat sheep. A snow-white fat sheep, like a marshmallow, such a tempting picture, the wolf salivates when I see it.

When the others arrived, the old herdsman peeked outside, and saw that there were wolves and a huge black bull...... It feels like they raised these monsters. Since it's raising monsters, it should be a peer, probably looking for a place for these monsters to live......

This is not good, the most afraid is to meet peers. Of course, this is just the situation of ordinary peers, this group of peers is different, it is estimated that the things they raise do not have grass-eating breeds, if these cows and wolves want to eat meat, what should their sheep do?

"You...... You guys...... Who are you......? What are you going to do?"

"The old people don't have to be afraid, we are just people passing by, we want to ask for something, and by the way, we can ask for a cup of milk tea. "Jing Qiong knows the people here better, in fact, the nomads were originally hospitable, but these people's mounts are really scary, otherwise they would have gone out to greet them.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I understand, if you are bad people, I can't do anything as an old man." Come in, there's hot milk tea in it. ”

Everyone got off the mount directly and entered the old man's Hana bag, which looked more spacious than expected, there was no serious furniture, just a few large boxes, there was a fire burning in the center, and the top of Hana opened to smoke, and milk tea was burning at this time, and there was a freshly mashed tea brick next to it.

In addition to the old man, Hana also sat his wife in the bag, the old couple has been grazing here for many years, and life is okay, as long as they do not encounter any natural and man-made disasters, this kind of life is not bad.

The old man immediately took out a large bowl, poured a full bowl of milk tea, and then took a sip of it himself and handed it to the person next to him.

Zong Xin happened to enter the door and saw the old man handing the tea bowl next to him, he was not polite, he directly took it and drank it all. After drinking, I wiped my mouth with great satisfaction......

"Tasted good, another bowl. ”

There were only three Uighurs present, and all three were stupid...... Haven't seen anything like this. This is the etiquette of the Uighurs, after the guests come, bring out a large bowl of freshly brewed milk tea, and then pass it one by one, each drink a small sip to taste the taste, there is no such unknown person to drink dry in one sip. And the freshly brewed milk tea is very hot, isn't this person afraid of burning his tongue?

"Again...... Cook another pot. The old man was a little surprised, but he was not angry. Although the etiquette of one's own nationality is very important, for the guests who have just arrived, there is no need to blame them if they do not understand the etiquette of their own nationality. Teach it once, and if he doesn't follow it after teaching, it's his mistake.

The old man's wife broke the tea bricks and boiled them in a blackened copper kettle. After boiling, pour in goat's milk, continue to boil, and finally boil the tea leaves inside, strain out the tea leaves when pouring into the bowl, and finally add some salt, this is the milk tea of the Uighur people, and the milk tea of the Uighur people is mostly salty.

The production process is not complicated, but the price of these tea bricks and salt is actually quite high. The Uighur people's most basic daily necessities were tea bricks, but they could not make them independently, and all the tea bricks were introduced to the Uighurs via the Silk Road. But in the years since the Silk Road was cut off, how did the Uighurs obtain tea bricks?

The clever Uighurs always thought of their solution, but these tea bricks were not authentic, they were made from all the tea powder imported by merchants from the Central Plains and added with golden flowers. Most of the leftover materials used to make the high-quality tea were thrown away, but the Uighurs were willing to buy these inferior ingredients, and even the rhizomes of the tea trees were added together to make tea bricks that were unique to the Uighurs.

Even so, these tea powders are not so easy to come by. Although the Silk Road was cut off, the Uighur specialty products were still able to enter the Central Plains layer by layer, and these cheap tea powders from the Central Plains could slowly enter the Uighurs, but they had to change hands several times along the way, and the price remained high.

This was the consequence of the severance of the Silk Road, and if the merchants had brought the tea bricks from the Central Plains directly to the Uighurs, the price would have been much cheaper. But for the Uighurs, they have become accustomed to this kind of milk tea with the flavor of golden flowers, and golden flowers are not uncommon in the local area, and even the poorest people make milk tea directly from golden flowers.

The Uighurs' love for milk tea even goes beyond food, preferring to go without food for three days rather than without tea for a day. This is also a regional peculiarity, with the Uighurs eating mainly meat and scarce vegetables. The fat is too big, the calories are too high, and long-term consumption is not good for the body. Therefore, milk tea is needed to filter the excess oil in the body and help digestion.

Therefore, high-grade tea leaves and low-grade tea powders have no advantage in scraping oil, and tea powders and tea stems are very effective in eliminating oil, and the Uighurs also see this, so they declare to buy cheap tea powder mixed with tea stems to make tea bricks, and then sell them to the people.

In the Uighur region, where the winter is extremely cold and the summer is hot, hot milk tea can ward off the cold in winter and quench thirst in summer, which is an essential daily necessities for the Uighurs, so no matter how poor the family is and how expensive the tea bricks are, every household must use them all year round.

Because the tea bricks were so important to the Uighurs, the purchase of tea powder and the production of tea bricks were almost entirely funded by the state, and their demand was only that they did not lose money, and even if they lost money, they could not increase the price of tea bricks, otherwise it would lead to a national uprising. This is almost a matter of life and death for the entire Uighur population, and no one dares to make money in this business.

In the Central Plains, salt is perhaps the most important daily commodity, but in the Uighurs it must be tea. The Uighurs had their own salt mines, and because of their small population, they did not have a very large demand for salt. But the demand for tea is too great, and milk tea is served almost all the time, and the fire at home has never stopped.

Jing Qiong patiently explained to this group of Central Plains people the Uighur milk tea culture and the origin of milk tea, and the old man also gave a general introduction, his name is Abbula. After the introduction, a new pot of milk tea was also cooked.

The old man took a big bowl and handed it to Zong Xin, Zong Xin didn't drink it all this time, he took a sip like the old man, and then passed it down.

Try to abide by other people's cultures and traditions when they are not troublesome, and try to abide by them even if there is a little trouble. If you don't know, it's just that, if you know but don't obey, it's an insult and contempt, which only attracts the anger of the other party.
