Han Kongque said with a smile: "On July 20, 2013, the key project of the Social Development Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences "Exploring the Origin of Ancient Zhangzhong Civilization and the Chinese Translation Project of the Ancient Zhangzhong Buddhist Tripitaka" was launched in the capital...23[
wx]
This Chinese translation project of the Tripitaka "Ganyur", known as the Encyclopedia of Ancient Tibetan Society, is jointly promoted by the center and Zizhu Monastery in Qamdo, Tibet, and is planned to be completed in ten years. How do you think I translated these words?
? This is the benefit of people in the past planting trees and people in the future enjoying the shade.”
"Uh!" Huang Shan didn't know what to say.
After a while, Huang Shan spoke again: "Boss, what are you going to do with this grotto? I mean, should we develop it ourselves, or should we cooperate with others?"
Han Peacock was stunned and stopped: "You're right, no matter what, I can't be busy myself. I seem to be too excited. How many of these things can I detect by myself? It seems to be good.
Plan it."
Han Peacock stopped moving, and everyone following him breathed a sigh of relief. Han Peacock had been busy here like a madman for more than ten hours, and now the sky was completely dark.
"Boss, should we spend the night here, or should we go back?" Huangshan asked carefully. The conditions here are too bad. The most important thing is that this group of people appeared here very unexpectedly. If you want to keep it secret, it's best
It's to go back.
Han Kongque thought for a moment and said: "Go back and inform Madam that we will stay here for one night. We cannot give up this place easily. Of course, we are not afraid of being discovered. Remember to ask Madam to bring in dinner."
Huangshan saw that Han Peacock was normal. Then he said: "Boss, why don't you go back first? We'll watch here until you come over tomorrow."
"No, I've wanted to come to this place for a long time, but I haven't had the time. This time, by chance, I want to experience the scenery of the snowy plateau." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Huang Shan said: "If this is the case, why don't we have dinner?"
"Dinner? Have you prepared it?" Han Peacock asked curiously.
Huangshan smiled and said: "I patrolled around during the day and saw some animals. I shot two of them."
"That's a wild animal." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Huang Shan said coquettishly: "These two are not bad either. Also, we caught a few and sent them to that dimension."
"It's very well done. The space is empty, with nothing else but plants. It would be good to add some small animals." Han Peacock followed Huangshan and the others down the grotto.
I saw two or three large pots below. They were all boiling. A smell of meat came to my nostrils.
"What did you hunt?" Han Peacock asked.
Huangshan said: "Yellow sheep, there are about ten of us in total, and one yellow sheep is enough. In the pot are stewed ribs, and the remaining four lamb legs are planned to be roasted."
"Where's the water? Where does the water come from?" When he came here, Han Peacock didn't see any water around him. In a place like this, not having water is a big problem.
Huang Shandao: "Over this hill, there is a lake over there. There seems to be no problem with the water source here. The group of yellow sheep we encountered was found in the water source."
Han Peacock nodded and said nothing more. There were people living here, so there must be water sources, and there seemed to be no shortage of water sources in the Ali area. However, this place was vast and sparsely populated, so on average the water sources were a bit scarce.
The Ngari area is dotted with lakes. Because it is a plateau with a large terrain difference, the water flow resource reserve reaches 20,000 kilowatts. There are more than 80 large and small rivers and more than 60 lakes in the entire region. The total flow within the territory is 9,500 kilometers, and the drainage area is nearly 60,000 square meters.
kilometer.
The four great rivers originating from the Gangdese and Himalayas, the Shiquan River, the Xiangquan River, the Maquan River, and the Kongque River, flow into India and Nepal in the northwest, southwest, and southeast directions respectively, becoming the Indus River, the Sutlej River, and the Brahmapur River.
The Tra River, the upper reaches of the Gogra River, a tributary of the Ganges, finally merges into the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.
Ali is therefore known as "the top of thousands of mountains and the source of thousands of rivers". The total water resources reach 16.757 billion cubic meters and the water energy reserves are 759,300 kilowatts.
In addition to water resources, Han Peacock also knows that the Ngari region is rich in geothermal energy, including the Shiquan River-Yarlung Zangbo River geothermal zone, the Kunlun Mountains-Kekexili geothermal zone, and the Gangdise Mountains-Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain geothermal zone.
There are more than 30 kinds of mineral resources that have been proven, with 254 mineral spots, including salt, boron, aluminum, Glauber's salt, chromium, silver, gold, etc., especially gold. Recently, it was reported that a lucky Tibetan picked it up.
A piece of nugget gold weighing more than ten kilograms.
There are also many animals living here. The wild animals on the Ali Plateau include bison, wild donkeys, gazelle, long-horned sheep and wild oxen. There are water eagles, white teal ducks, swans, water pigeons, black-necked cranes, etc. by the lake in the west.
There are all kinds of wild birds, so it is not surprising to encounter a group of wild yellow sheep here.
"Is this bacon?" Han Peacock asked curiously when he saw the two prisoners working there.
"Sir, this is indeed bacon, Tibetan bacon, and these, highland barley wine, butter tea, and yogurt." A man said.
Han Peacock knows that Tibetans mainly eat smoked barbecue, supplemented by highland barley wine, butter tea, yogurt and other drinks.
When the man saw the Korean peacock rising again, he immediately said: "This is tsampa. Zanba is the main food of Tibetans. It looks like fried noodles in the mainland and can be divided into highland barley, pea, oat tsampa, etc."
Whether Tibetans work in the fields, go up to the mountains to graze, or travel, they must carry tsampa with them. When eating, they pour some tsampa into a bowl and a small amount of butter to make tea. Zanba is easy to carry and is a cooked food.
In a place with sparse population and lack of fuel, it is indeed a kind of cheap, practical and convenient fast food."
"Are you not a Tibetan?" Han Peacock asked.
"No, I'm Han, but my wife is Tibetan, so I can be considered half Tibetan." The man answered Han Peacock's question with a flattering smile.
"Have you been here for many years?" Han Kongque watched the man take out a wooden bowl from his arms and knew that this guy was probably a Han who grew up here. Of course, he might not be a Han at all.
"Yes, our family has lived here for fifty or sixty years, but the elderly in the family all follow Han customs, so I can speak Chinese so well. This is butter tea. Sir, please have a taste." He said,
The man lifted the butter teapot and shook it a few times, poured a full bowl of butter tea for Han Kongque, and handed the wooden bowl over.
"Usually in Tibetan homes, the butter teapot is simmering on the fire pit from morning to night. You can drink fragrant and hot butter tea at any time." Seeing Han Peacock take the wooden bowl, the man said happily.
Han Peacock took the wooden bowl and immediately placed the bowl on a square table. Han Peacock looked at the square table in surprise. This should be a square table unique to the Tibetan people.
Seeing Han Kongque's actions, the man was even happier, because he knew that Han Kongque seemed to understand Tibetan customs. Although he was not a Tibetan, as long as Han Kongque respected him, he might be fine.
When Tibetans pour tea, the teapot should be gently shaken several times to make the tea oil even. The bottom of the pot should not be higher than the tabletop to show respect for the guests. If the guests do not drink the butter tea that has just been poured, they should chat with the host first.
That's why Han Peacock put down the wooden bowl.
Tibetan butter tea, a Tibetan drink, is often eaten as a staple food together with tsampa. This drink is made from butter and strong tea. First put an appropriate amount of butter into a special bucket, add salt, and then add boiled
For strong tea juice, stir repeatedly with a wooden handle until the ghee and tea juice dissolve into one body and become milky.
Some ethnic groups adjacent to Tibet also have the habit of drinking butter tea. Korean Peacock knows that butter tea is a good thing, especially when eating meat. Butter tea is a daily must-have drink for Tibetan people. It is a must for Tibetan people living on the Tibetan Plateau.
When it's cold, it can drive away the cold. When you eat meat, you can get rid of greasiness. When you're hungry, it can satisfy your hunger. When you're sleepy, it can relieve fatigue. When you're sleepy, it can also clear your mind. Tea contains vitamins, which can reduce the damage caused by the lack of vegetables on the plateau.
.
It can be said that butter tea is rich in nutrients, fragrant and delicious, and has refreshing and nourishing effects. It is deeply loved by the Tibetan people. Since the man is happy, Han Peacock does not mind respecting his habits. Han Peacock still knows the rules of tea tasting.
Usually when a guest is a guest at a Tibetan home, when the guest is seated at the Tibetan square table, the host will take a Tibetan butter tea wooden bowl (or tea cup) and place it in front of the guest.
The host or housewife shakes the butter teapot a few times and pours a full bowl of butter tea to the guests. When pouring the tea, the teapot should be gently shaken several times to make the tea oil even. The bottom of the pot should not be higher than the tabletop to show respect for the guests.
If the guest doesn't drink the fallen butter tea immediately, he should chat with the host first.
When the host once again raised the butter teapot and stood in front of the guest, the guest picked up the bowl, dipped a little tea in his ring finger, flicked and sprinkled it three times, and dedicated it to the gods, dragons and earth spirits.
Gently blow a circle in the butter bowl to blow away the oil flowers floating on the tea, then take a sip and praise: "This butter tea is so well beaten, the oil and tea are inseparable." Drink.
Don't drink the tea too quickly or too quickly, and don't drink it all at once. Leave about half of it for the host to add before drinking.
The guest puts the bowl back on the table, and the host refills it, just like that, while drinking, it is generally considered auspicious to drink three bowls, not finish it in one gulp.
Generally, a warm host will always fill the guest's tea bowl. If you don't want to drink anymore, don't touch it. If you drink half of it and don't want to drink anymore, the host will fill the bowl and leave it there. When the guest is ready to leave,
You can take a few more sips in a row, but you can't drink it dry. You should leave some oily tea base in the bowl.
Han Kongque had seen these things in books, on the Internet, and on TV, but he had never done it himself. Now that he was almost like this, he would not let it go.
After drinking butter tea, Han Kongque smiled and watched the pseudo-Tibetan working there. This time he made barbecue, which included not only roasted lamb, but also roasted lamb hooves. (To be continued...)
