After seeing Dasha off, Ye Yuze took Erhong to the grassland. Erhong couldn't ride a horse, so he had to ride one of them. Erhong rarely had time to play, because he had no money, but later because he was busy.
The scenery of northern Xinjiang attracted her all at once. You should know that Tangcheng is a coal capital, plus steel mills and cement factories, and so many ceramic companies. It can be said that she lived in the gray air for the first half of her life.
Later, when I was doing business, I occasionally went to Guangzhou, and the situation there was not much better. However, the sky here was blue but not at all colorful. The occasionally white clouds floating by were like the newly picked cotton, dazzling white.
The clear air made her breathing so comfortable every time. Anyway, the insomnia caused by busyness and anxiety has completely disappeared here recently.
There are also green grass, red flowers, and various wild fruits that make her not want to go back every time she goes to the wild. If she doesn't come out and doesn't believe that there will be such a place?
The two of them originally wanted to follow Cuicui to go to the animal husbandry for a visit. However, because Erhong encountered a piece of wild strawberry that had not eaten enough and wanted to leave, the few people separated.
After eating enough strawberries, Erhong leaned against Ye Yuze's arms and asked, "Can I buy a flock of sheep to stay here for grazing? Never go back?"
Ye Yuze grinned when she heard this, trying to refute but was unwilling to attack him. She had an idea and decided to take her to a place and stay there for two days to see if she still said that?
The place Ye Yuze took her to was Uncle Amir's yurt. Now the children have passed the family separate, and only the old couple are left in the family grazing a flock of sheep alone.
This is how Kazakh shepherds live. When they can move, they are herding sheep. When they get old and can’t get on the horse, they stay in the settlement and accompany a group of elderly people.
Because the grassland is fixed, Ye Yuze easily found Uncle Amir's yurt based on his memory. Maybe he had changed to a new yurt? His yurt looked particularly dazzling halfway up the mountain.
Before the two of them arrived at the yurt, the big dog in the house stared at them with two eyes. Ye Yuze dared not underestimate this thing. The dog on the grassland is different from the dog in the mainland.
The dog starts barking from a distance. When you really rushed to the front and scared it, it might run away with its tail between its legs.
But sheepdogs are completely different. They rarely yell, and sometimes they seem to be indifferent when they see strangers approaching. But as long as you get close to the yurt or flock, you should be careful. They will rush up and put their mouths without hesitation, and will not let go if they can't bite you.
Therefore, there is a rule for the shepherds to visit houses. They must shout a few times before dismounting. See if the owner is at home, and they dare not enter the house rashly.
Ye Yuze was still twenty or thirty meters away from the yurt and started shouting: "Uncle Amir, are you at home?"
I stared at their dogs as if I felt relieved. I knew that this was my master's friend. Although I had never seen this person, humans had too much communication, unlike their race, which was to meet with several companions from nearby ranches occasionally.
In fact, sheepdogs live a very difficult life, without double holidays, and no eight-hour working system. Even the 996 that was criticized by later generations cannot be guaranteed. They work all their lives, and they are working 24-hour working system.
In addition to the time when it's time to fall in love every year, I occasionally go on a date with Ah Hua from the next ranch. I also have to take advantage of the fact that the flock has returned to the circle to rest.
However, this is better for herders. They will not be like the mainland. When they make an appointment, the owner will also have to distinguish the breed. If the breed is not good, you won’t let you meet. As long as you are a dog on the grassland, love will be free. Even wolves are fine, as long as you have the courage.
The door of the yurt was opened, and Aunt Amir bent down and walked out of the yurt. The people in the grassland aging was so fast that Ye Yuze could not recognize it.
Erhong thought this woman was almost sixty years old, but in fact Ye Yuze knew that she was only in her forties, about the same age as her father.
Aunt Amir squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time, and finally shouted: "My God, are you the boss of Dr. Ye's family?"
Ye Yuze smiled and jumped off the horse and walked over: "Aunt Amir, it's me, are you okay?"
"Okay, okay. Very good. Come into the house and have a tea. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. When you came that time, you were as tall as a foal."
Erhong covered her mouth and laughed secretly behind her. This metaphor made her very happy. Aunt Amir looked at Erhong with a satisfied smile.
"Your wife is so tall, you will definitely give birth to a bunch of sons for you, just like the strongest cow on the grassland."
Erhong's bright smile immediately frozen, and Ye Yuze grinned and laughed. This metaphor seemed to be really appropriate.
"What are Uncle Amir going to do?" Ye Yuze asked this because he saw the flock of sheep eating grass around the yurt. The two sheepdogs looked at it and saw no one.
Aunt Amir shook her head: "The children have all separated the family and all the sheep are given to them, so we just left three hundred sheep to live for our own lives. Your uncle is now drinking all day, and there is no sign at home all day."
Ye Yuze could hear that there was a kind of satisfaction in Aunt Amir's complaints, the kind of complete ease after completing the task. Although the customs and habits of the Kazakhs are very different from those of the Han people, there is one thing that is hard work and sense of responsibility. This is the inheritance of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and the essence of Chinese culture.
Pour milk tea and serve with a bun of sak. Erhong has never tasted this before. He picked up the bowl and took a sip, then took another big sip, and then his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
Brick tea is a thing that no one wants in the tea production area. Old leaves and tea stems are mixed together and fermented and then pressed into tea bricks. Unlike the round cakes of Pu'er tea, the reason why it is called tea bricks is because its shape is square.
In fact, any food depends on how to match it? If such tea bricks are in the mainland, they will definitely be thrown away because the taste of making tea is really not satisfactory.
But when paired with milk and ghee, it will become an excellent drink. This drink is not only delicious, but also effectively removes the accumulated fat in the body and promotes digestion.
"Did you have a meal? Auntie makes naan for you?" Aunt Amir looked at the pair of golden boys and jade girls with a smile. The more you look at them, the more you like them.
Ye Yuze looked at Erhong, and Erhong nodded: "Okay, okay, aunt, I like to eat naan."
In fact, mainlanders have always had a misunderstanding about XJ people. That is, all XJ people’s staple foods are naan and hand-pickled rice.
