"Hey, this thing is a Tibetan Mastiff, isn't it? A golden purebred mastiff?" Liu Ergang was startled. Having lived in Tibet for many years, he could tell at a glance the experience of being fat.
"Yes, Tibetan Mastiff." Xue Tingyu shouted: "Fei Fei, come here."
Feifei then tilted his head, looked at Liu Ergang with a warning look, and then ran to Xue Tingyu wagging his tail.
This guy spent a lot of food on the two of them during this journey, and it has become completely familiar with Xue Tingyu. Now Xue Tingyu is the only one who obeys, and sometimes it doesn't even listen to Ye Haoxuan's words.
"What a good thing. If this was sold in your big city, it would be worth at least tens of millions. Pure gold Tibetan mastiffs are rare. These are called the king of mastiffs by the Tibetans. The best Tibetan mastiffs are rare, really rare."
Liu Ergang looked at Feifei with envy.
But Fei Fei obviously didn't like this guy very much. He roared threateningly at him a few times, and Liu Er just left in a sensible manner.
"Little guy, why are you so rude?" Xue Tingyu said reproachfully.
"It's not that it's rude, maybe there's something wrong with this person." Ye Haoxuan said.
"You mean the shopkeeper? No, he seems like a good person." Xue Tingyu said with some surprise.
"Do you think the fee he charged just now is reasonable?" Ye Haoxuan said.
"It's unreasonable. It's so expensive. It costs so much to fill up a tank of gas. He's obviously a black man." Xue Tingyu shook her head and said.
"A thousand yuan per tank of gas is really not expensive." Ye Haoxuan shook his head and said: "This kind of place is deserted, and this tank of gas is as good as gold. It's normal for him to pay three thousand yuan, but he only charges
For a thousand dollars, I feel like there is something fishy in it, and it is definitely not simple."
"Then should we stay here at night?" Xue Tingyu asked slightly stunned.
"Stay here. It's getting late. It's very cold here at night. Your current situation is not suitable for traveling for a long time. Have a good rest here for a night and continue traveling tomorrow morning. It's okay. You're just an ordinary person."
Ye Haoxuan smiled.
"Yes," Xue Tingyu nodded slightly.
Liu Er just left the room and went straight to the place where he was refueling. He saw the young man named Zhuzhu looking stupidly at the room where Ye Haoxuan and Xue Tingyu were. He had even forgotten to refuel.
"What are you looking at? Come on, go to work later." Liu Ergang slapped Liu Zhuzhu on the head and said.
"Dad, that woman is so beautiful, even prettier than before." Liu Zhuzhu looked stupidly at the room where Xue Tingyu was, and he looked foolish and foolish.
"I know she's good-looking. You don't want the wife I found for you before. What do you want?" Liu Ergang said angrily.
"I want her to be my wife." Liu Zhu suddenly said.
"Shut up." Liu Ergang was startled. He slapped his son, and then whispered, "These two people are not ordinary people. I will talk to your mother and your sister later."
"Dad, I want a wife." Liu Zhuzhu said stupidly, as if there was something wrong with his head.
The two made the bed indoors and rested for a while. There was a knock on the door, and at the same time a woman's voice sounded: "Boss, have you rested? The food is ready, let's go eat."
Ye Haoxuan opened the door and saw a woman standing at the door. This woman was of average appearance, her skin was not white, but she had the unique softness of Tibetan women.
"Okay, let's go right away." Ye Haoxuan said.
"The room in front is the restaurant. Our landlady cooks good food, but ordinary people can't eat it." The woman smiled slightly, with a strange look in her eyes.
Ye Haoxuan and Xue Tingyu walked to the restaurant together. At this time, the sky was completely dark. Five or six incandescent lamps were installed in the entire courtyard, and now they were all lit up. The stars in the sky were very bright, but unfortunately there was no moon.
When we walked to the restaurant, the aroma of the food immediately spread over us. A woman with crow's feet at the corner of her eyes was obviously the boss lady in the mouth of the young woman just now. When she saw the two people approaching, she smiled and said: "You two, try my food."
Craft bar, authentic Tibetan hospitality dishes.”
The dishes on the table consist of six food items: milk tea, bracken rice, soup dumplings, hand-caught mutton, stew, and yogurt. It is a standard Tibetan traditional hospitality banquet.
"Thank you, boss lady, for your hard work." Ye Haoxuan took out another few hundred dollars and handed it over, then sat down and started eating with Xue Tingyu.
"Hey, you two, please use it slowly." The proprietress took the money from Ye Haoxuan with a smile, and then ran to the kitchen to work.
"Try it, it looks good." Ye Haoxuan picked up a plastic glove and handed it to Xue Tingyu, then put one on himself, grabbed a piece of mutton and started eating.
The heat of hand-caught mutton is very important. The heat should not be too high. If it is too high, it will not taste good.
This hand-caught mutton is quite authentic. After boiling over high heat, skim off the scum. Be sure to skim in time with a trowel, and skim more soup to make the soup more delicious.
The water will gradually reduce during the stewing process, so the amount of water should be sufficient. Simmer slowly over low heat. There will only be two or three boiling points on the surface of the soup, bubbling "gudonggudong". It usually takes about two hours to stew, so that the cooked mutton is cooked and tender.
Not rotten, but chewy.
Sometimes you can even see the marks of knife cuts on the meat. The meat with crisp bones makes a crunching sound when chewed, which is crisp and sweet.
The meat stewed over high heat bloomed, and when chewed, it looked like a rotten cotton sleeve. The texture and taste were very poor.
However, the craftsmanship of this proprietress is quite good. It is indeed very rare to be able to eat such an authentic Tibetan banquet in this deserted place, because this place is out of the way and has no shops. It is good to have food in your mouth.
, not to mention such authentic hand-caught mutton.
After eating a piece of hand-caught mutton and drinking a bowl of milk tea, I feel the warmth in my stomach is very satisfying. The weather on this plateau is mainly cold and dry, so the characteristics of Tibetan cuisine are like this, which can effectively inhibit depression.
Some common diseases.
Not long after we started eating, Liu Ergang came over with a jar of wine and said with a smile: "You two, take a sip of wine to warm yourself up. This is Zangquan, the wine designated for the 60th anniversary. I got it with great difficulty."
"Come on, Nizi, pour some wine for you two. Haha, I don't have many people here all year round, so I'm overly enthusiastic. Don't take it off," Liu Ergang said with a smile.
It's just that his smile looks a bit gloomy to Ye Haoxuan. In today's society, the more people smile at you, the most likely thing is to stab you. Ye Haoxuan knows this very well.
The woman who went to invite Ye Haoxuan and two people to come for dinner came up. She held two wine bowls in her hands and poured wine for Ye Haoxuan and Xue Tingyu.
"This is my daughter Liu Yang." Liu Ergang said, "That woman just now is my wife. Our family has lived here for a long time."
"The landlady's craftsmanship is pretty good. She could open a specialty restaurant in a big city, so why suffer here?" Ye Haoxuan said thoughtfully.
"Haha, I'm used to staying here. My ancestors used to come from the Shaanxi area. Later they fled here and took root here. However, there was a natural disaster a few days ago. People in the village walked away and died.
After death, there will gradually be no one around, so we simply open a shop here to serve people passing by." Liu Ergang said.
He raised the wine bowl in his hand and said, "Come, let's have a drink. It's fate that we meet each other."
"Sorry, I don't drink." Xue Tingyu has never drank liquor.
"Oh, I was negligent. Nizi, go get a bowl of highland barley wine. This girl doesn't drink white wine." Liu Ergang said.
"Okay." Liu Yang turned around and walked into the kitchen.
After a while, a bowl of highland barley wine was brought out. Although this family was not born and raised in Tibet, and even spoke with a thick Shaanxi accent, they followed the locals and took root here, and some customs
It's the same as Tibet.
Highland barley wine is common in Tibet. It is not a real wine. You have to drink some with almost every meal. This is good for your health.
Xue Tingyu took a sip and thought the taste was quite strange, so she didn't drink it. She drank a few drinks with the two of them here, and then Liu Ergang turned around and left.
This meal was quite good. After a long day's journey, the two of them felt very warm after eating some hot food.
This place is extremely desolate. Ye Haoxuan asked Liu Ergang that there are no towns ahead, almost all of them are uninhabited land, and hundreds of kilometers to the west are the snow-capped mountains.
As for Sanxian Mountain, Liu Ergang said he had never heard of it.
Ye Haoxuan didn't have much hope in the first place. Sanxian Mountain was not known to the world. It was just a small place among the countless mountainous areas in Tibet. Even if it was not marked on the satellite map, he only knew the place roughly.
.
After eating, Ye Haoxuan and Xue Tingyu went back to the room to rest. After a long day of traveling, Xue Tingyu felt very tired. After a simple wash, she fell on the bed and fell asleep.
There was only one bed in the room. Ye Haoxuan sat on a Taishi chair and quickly fell into meditation. Anyway, it didn't matter if Haoran Jue rested or not, he could just sleep anywhere.
In a house made of blue bricks, the family had put on smart clothes and were waiting.
After a while, their daughter Liu Yang ran over quietly. She said in a deep voice: "Dad, has your medicine failed? I think they are doing well now."
"They didn't fall asleep? This is impossible." Liu Ergang looked incredulous.
"It's absolutely true. I listened at the door. The woman's breathing was very even. It didn't look like she was drugged. What's even weirder is that I couldn't hear the man's voice or feel any of his breath.
." Liu Yang said.
"This is impossible. My medicine was prepared by my master just a few days ago. There is absolutely no way it will be ineffective." Liu Ergang said solemnly: "There must be a problem. We may have encountered a master this time.
