Just as the two men put down the dishes, a man and a woman came out again carrying trays.
The two danced while making grimaces on their faces. Their movements were humorous and funny, and their dancing postures were relaxed and graceful.
There were actually two long trays placed on the man's shoulders.
The woman also had a tray in her mouth and two trays in her hands.
"Oh my God, how the hell did he bite that tray?"
"Σ(?д?|||)?? This is too awesome!"
"(??д?)b☆d(?д??) Oh my god, how did you do this?"
"I think it takes a long, long time to train to reach this point."
"Mommy asked me why I was kneeling to watch the video..."
"Σ(°△ °|||)︴Oh my God, although I can't understand it, I'm shocked."
"?━=????(???????)My current expression is the same as this kaomoji..."
"It's so funny, I can't even bite a popsicle."
"The Yi people are indeed a hospitable people who are good at singing and dancing..."
"If nothing else, this way of serving food is really interesting."
"Look at how lively the atmosphere is here."
"Serving food in this way can really help to create an atmosphere..."
“Compatriots of the Yi ethnic group welcome you all to be our guests.”
The Yi people like to cut the meat into large pieces, which they call "Tuo Tuo meat."
The Yi people believe that the bigger the meat, the more hospitable the host will be.
The method of making Tuo Tuo meat is to chop the pork and cook it in cold water without adding any condiments. After the meat is cooked, pick it up and add salt, pepper, chili pepper, etc. before eating.
When eating, hold the meat directly with your hands. The taste is very delicious, because it should not be stewed when boiled, but depends on the "heat". Once the "heat" is reached, the meat will be cooked. If the "heat" is not enough, the meat will be raw, and if the "heat" is slightly higher, the meat will be cooked.
The meat is hard, so most people can't cook it well. It should be eaten while it's hot.
Li Xiao took a bite. The meat was stewed over firewood and had an indescribable aroma compared to meat cooked using electricity.
Moreover, the stockades on the mountain use spring water from the mountain for stew meat. The taste of meat stewed in mountain spring water is not comparable to that of meat stewed in tap water in the city.
Moreover, the pigs in this Yi village are native pigs raised by the villagers in the village themselves. This kind of pig is not the same breed as the common pigs on the market. Not only is the breeding time slower, but the pork and fat of the whole pig are
More lean meat and less meat.
So few people breed such pigs.
However, pigs fed without adding a little bit of feed have rich meat aroma. Even without adding any seasonings, this local pork stewed with firewood and mountain spring water is also a delicacy.
The dipping sauce contains Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, as well as garlic, ginger, green onion, coriander and cumin.
A very common dipping sauce.
Pick up a big piece of pork and dip it in a little bit of dipping sauce. The spicy and charred aroma will make you have endless aftertaste.
It turns out that the chili peppers in this dipping sauce have been burned over fire.
The locals call it "paste".
It is the dried chili pepper, rolled in the charcoal fire and stove ashes.
The chili peppers are then burned until they turn black, and after being taken out and crushed, they become the chili peppers in the dipping sauce.
This kind of chili not only tastes very spicy, but also has a spicy aroma.
It's just more choking when burned.
The dancing over there is still going on.
I saw one vegetable dancer sitting on the shoulder of another vegetable dancer. The chef above had a tray on his head.
The master below was also busy, holding two trays in his hands.
The most amazing thing is that one of the chefs who cooked vegetables even had a corner of the table in his mouth when he came out.
He just used his mouth to lift the table...
After the banquet, the sky gradually darkened.
Li Xiao's fans pulled Li Xiao and sat in the hospitable host's house for a while.
A fire was lit in the center of the yard.
Relatives, friends and young people who were good at singing and dancing formed a circle outside the bonfire.
They warmed themselves by the fire and drank wine.
They talked loudly about the interesting things they had encountered recently, and laughed together when they talked about their happy moments.
The wine they drink is basically home-brewed wine.
Sorghum wine, corn wine, basically every village has a few families who can make wine.
The young Yi girls are wearing Yi costumes and seem to be waiting for something.
"Do you all gather together like this at night to warm up by the fire?"
Li Xiao looked at this scene and asked.
"That's not necessarily the case. We only gather around the fire during festivals and when we are guests."
"Let's go warm ourselves by the fire too."
Fans dragged Li Xiao to sit next to the bonfire.
After sitting down, an uncle next to me asked curiously: "Where did this young man come from? He looks so fair?"
"I have never seen such a handsome young man."
"Isn't this a local?"
He spoke in dialect, and the fan replied: "Uncle, this is my friend. He has been traveling these days, so I brought him over to play."
"Where is this friend of yours from? Does he have a girlfriend? He is so handsome."
Sure enough, as long as you meet an elder, you cannot escape these problems.
Li Xiao was naturally able to understand what this uncle said and answered them one by one.
The fan who brought him here was not very happy.
"Oh, I'm handsome too, okay!"
"Young man, would you like to try the wine we brew here?" The uncle happily handed the wine glass in his hand to Li Xiao.
The Yi people are a hospitable nation, and drinking is an essential part of meeting guests.
Li Xiao's drinking capacity is not bad, how can he shirk in this situation?
Li Xiao had a drink with this uncle, and the uncle's face turned red.
Li Xiao looked at the musical instrument in his arms and said with a smile: "You can also play this."
The musical instrument in the uncle's arms looks a little strange. On the surface, it looks like just a bunch of bamboo.
However, Li Xiao, who had read the customs and habits of the Yi people for a long time, knew that this was not a simple bamboo.
This musical instrument composed of six bamboos is called Lusheng.
Some people have never even seen a Lusheng, let alone played it.
This uncle was also wearing a black raincoat. Perhaps he was happy after drinking, so he excitedly patted Li Xiao on the shoulder.
"I didn't expect you to know this guy. That's awesome, young man!"
The uncle danced excitedly, picked up the Lusheng in his hand and was about to perform a piece for Li Xiao.
Li Xiao naturally did not refuse.
The melodious tune sounded, and the uncle got up from the ground, playing the Lusheng and dancing.
Seeing this, a man next to him also played the flute in his hand to accompany the man.
The little girls nearby, wearing bright Yi clothes, also stood up from the bonfire.
Everyone spontaneously surrounded the city in a huge circle, facing one direction, singing and dancing.
Li Xiao didn't know how to sing, but he was still pulled into the team by the fans next to him, and started to circle with the crowd.
The girls clapped their hands, stamped their feet, and swayed forward.
Sometimes he held his hand and moved closer to the middle, and sometimes he took his hand back and stepped back.
Sometimes he kicks his feet high, sometimes he squats on the ground and spins in circles.
The girls sang songs to the same tune as the flutes and reeds playing the music.
The content is some words to welcome guests from afar, celebrate today's day, etc.
The lyrics are not fixed, you can sing whatever comes to mind.
All the words turned into lyrics at this moment, and the girls sang and danced one after another.
Li Xiao drank a lot of wine and immersed himself in the lively atmosphere with everyone.
As for Tuanzi, he had already fallen asleep in Li Xiao's car with the air conditioner blowing on.
Li Xiao lived in this Yi village for a few days.
The fan’s surname is Wang, so Li Xiao calls him Xiao Wang.
The weather in Yunnan has always been changeable and unpredictable.
In Yunnan, it is even possible that it rains here and the sun shines on the other side.
The show ended very late last night, and when Li Xiao got up today, it was already raining heavily.
Time flies and it’s already May.
It has been half a month since I arrived in Yunnan.
Starting from May, the rainy season in Yunnan has arrived.
Normally, May to September is the rainy season in Yunnan.
In mid-June, the Yi people in Yunnan will also celebrate a grand festival, the Torch Festival.
This festival, in the villages of the Yi people, is as important as the Chinese New Year.
Li Xiao looked at the map again and again. In fact, it wasn't long before the Torch Festival.
If he were still in Yunnan at that time, he could have spent a Torch Festival with the Yi people.
This year's rainy season seems to have come extremely early.
It had already rained a little before Li Xiao came over as a guest.
But those rains were not as heavy as now.
Li Xiao and Xiao Wang looked at the rain falling on the eaves, almost forming a line.
The rain is really too heavy.
But rain, for Yunnan people, also means the birth of a delicious food.
That's wild fungi.
Wild fungi are a fatal temptation for Yunnan people.
If you come to Yunnan and don’t eat a meal of wild mushrooms, your visit is almost in vain.
But eating wild mushrooms also has risks.
On the Internet platform, the magical song "Red umbrella, white pole, let's lie down together after eating" is sung everywhere.
Every year during the rainy season, people in Yunnan will receive reminder text messages on their mobile phones.
They all remind everyone to pay attention to safety when eating wild mushrooms.
When eating wild mushrooms, you must follow several principles.
Do not eat mushrooms you do not know, mushrooms that are not cooked, mushrooms that you have not eaten before, and mushrooms that you are not sure about.
Oh, yes, and if you are not familiar with the way to the hospital, it is best not to eat wild mushrooms.
Although this sentence is a bit tongue-in-cheek, poisoning by wild fungi is no joke.
After being poisoned by wild fungi, the symptoms range from vomiting and diarrhea to the hospital, and the severe symptoms lead to hallucinations and coma and the patient is carried up the mountain directly.
Some fungi are hallucinogenic, and you will "see little people" after eating them.
This sentence comes from a netizen who was poisoned by eating mushrooms. After eating hallucinogenic mushrooms, he saw many "little people", as if he had seen people from Lilliput.
Some people saw elves, some saw monsters, and some saw all kinds of strange fairies.
It's all due to poisoning from eating fungi.
"It's raining so heavily. If it rains like this for a few more days, we'll be looking for fungi."
In the village, "looking for mushrooms" is called "looking for mushrooms".
Similar to the saying, there is the saying of going up the mountain to "find wild vegetables", which means going up the mountain to look for wild vegetables.
Xiao Wang looked at the rainwater that formed a line and sighed, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
The village is located halfway up the mountain. The mountains on the Yunnan side are very high, and most of the houses built on the mountains are earth-tile houses.
When building a house, soil is mixed with straw and placed in a mold to make adobe bricks. After drying, they can be used to build a house like bricks.
The pillars and beams in the house are also made of thick and straight wood.
The roof is made of tiles, and when rainwater falls on it, it flows down along the ditches between the tiles.
Such mud houses are not uncommon in rural areas.
Li Xiao looked at the rain in the yard and looked forward to it.
"How many days will it take for this fungus to grow?"
"This fungus grows very fast. As long as it rains, it will appear the next day."
"Some fungi, in the same place, there was nothing there when I went to see them on the first day, but when I went back the next day, a whole colony had grown."
One nest means one follower in dialect.
It rained heavily all day and all night.
The next morning, the heavy rain was still falling.
By noon, the rain finally stopped.
Rainy days are relatively cold, so everyone’s daily routine on rainy days is to gather around the stove to warm themselves up.
The old man was standing by the stove, putting an earthen pot into the fire to dry it.
Then I put a handful of tea leaves inside and flipped the tea jar from time to time.
The tea leaves were roasted to create the aroma of tea, and then the old man poured some boiling water into it.
Isn't this method exactly the same as "bitter tea", the first of Dali's three teas?
This kind of tea is called "roasted tea" here.
The roasted tea has a strong tea flavor and a delicious burnt aroma.
But also because there are a lot of tea leaves in a small jar, and the tea is boiled, it will be very bitter.
Most people can't drink tea that bitter.
A pile of charcoal fire was pulled out from the stove, with several white pieces of glutinous rice cake placed on it.
The glutinous rice cakes are baked until they are soft and soft, and the outer skin is baked into a golden color.
Take out the baked glutinous rice cake from the charcoal fire, pat the dust on it, dip it in some local honey from the mountain, and you can eat it.
Sweet and soft, it warms the whole body on this rainy day.
Rice cake dipped in honey is usually a local food eaten during the Winter Solstice Festival.
However, it can also be eaten as a staple food.
Some people don't like to eat glutinous rice cakes dipped in honey, so they pour a little bit of chili powder and eat it as a dip.
The plum tree in front of Xiao Wang's house is already covered with big, green plums, but these plums will not turn red and mature until autumn.
But the children couldn't wait. They picked the green plums, mixed them with chili noodles and ate them eagerly.
Green plums are sour and chili noodles are hot. When mixed together, they create a sour and spicy taste. They are very common snacks in the village.
