The Uyghur etiquette is to drink tea first. With the hostess nearby, Li Wen took the tea and took a sip.

Good guy! I took a mouthful of tea foam and it was so bitter.

Li Wen usually drinks the authentic small-leaf green tea, which is picked and roasted in a small world, so he has suffered this injustice.

I kept complaining in my heart, what a guy! I really wanted to spit out the tea foam, but it was rude, so I had to swallow it with a grimace.

However, Li Wen was able to take a sip of tea foam, which indirectly proved that the host valued him as a guest.

Since he had already come, he would be sorry for the warm hospitality if he didn't drink. Li Wen could only frown, purse his lips, filter out the tea foam, and take a sip to show his appreciation.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the hostess left the table. Now only Li Wen and Aheqi were left. They were all men, and Li Wen was no longer restrained.

After drinking bitter tea just now, Li Wen was in urgent need of other taste improvements. He focused on the dairy products, various fruits, and dried fruits in front of him.

The table in front of the two of them was filled with dried fruits, seasonal fruits, dairy products, noodles, and naan. There were more than a dozen plates.

Li Wen couldn't help but sigh that compatriots from ethnic minorities are still enthusiastic!

In fact, Li Wen also knew that although the lives of these ethnic minority compatriots were better than those of people living in the interior, the benefits were limited.

Many people think that herdsmen often eat beef and mutton. In fact, the videos of past lives are all deceptive.

In these days, the herdsmen's rations were not beef and mutton, but potatoes, sweet potatoes and cornmeal.

Now it is a large collective in a commune, and the pastures and livestock are all collective. Every year when the cattle and sheep are put on the market, the cattle and sheep that meet the task standards must be handed over.

Keep enough breeding cattle and sheep for breeding in the second year, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot meet the standards will be reported to the brigade first, and can only be slaughtered after approval.

After these cattle and sheep are slaughtered, the brigade will sell them to traders or some channels to purchase production and living supplies or food.

In the end, the remaining beef and mutton will be distributed to the herdsmen, but most of the herdsmen are reluctant to eat it, so they are made into dried meat and used as food for subsistence.

In fact, herders also have cattle and sheep, but only a few. These are the cattle and sheep that are distributed to each household for their own use.

The output of the self-retained cattle and sheep is usually used to support the living expenses of the family.

The remaining money will be saved by women to improve their family's life and entertain them during festivals and when guests come to their home.

It should be mentioned here that these herdsmen are actually very satisfied with the life they have now.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, local warlords in Xin Province, Tibet Province, Mongolia Province, Qiang Province, and Ganzhou exercised tyrannical rule over these places.

Many of these warlords are religious warlords. They impose exorbitant taxes on peoples of different faiths, and often commit bloodbath and plunder, forcing them to change their faith.

It can be said that the herdsmen in these areas have been suffering for a long time. Not to mention their cattle and sheep, human lives may be taken away at any time.

There are often wars between these tribes because of the theft of pasture, cattle and sheep. It can be said that there is no difference between a person and a cow and sheep.

After the founding of the country, the government divided areas for each tribe, and the tribes had fixed pastures.

The herdsmen also have their own cattle and sheep. Although they still often don't have enough to eat, they are much happier than before.

Due to the attitude of the hostess of the family, Li Wen decided to wait for the men of the family to come back and give them some good things. He also let a few compatriots see the etiquette of the Xia people.

Li Wen often ate these things on the table, including fruits and dried fruits, both in his previous life and now, and there was nothing unusual about them.

What interested him was the milk tofu and milk pimples on the table.

When Li Wen was a wholesaler in his previous life, he did not dare to buy food with a short shelf life, such as old yogurt.

The price of those high-quality dairy products is too high, and there are too many after-sales services at home, so the sales are not as big as the loss.

As a food seller, he is well aware of the power of technology and does not dare to eat cheap dairy products.

I have often watched these milk tofu videos on Douyin videos, but I have never tried them. Today I have to try the authentic Xinsheng dairy products.

Out of curiosity, I took a piece of milk lump and took a bite.

"Oh my god!" After one sip, the milk lump was so sour that Li Wen's expression became sour and distorted.

"Comrade Aheqi, why are your nipples so sour?" Li Wen quickly took a sip of tea.

"hehe!"

“This milk pimple is a specialty of our place, we may be used to it because we eat it often.

Comrade Li, if you feel it's sour, you can try this milk tofu, which has a lighter taste."

Li Wen took the dried milk tofu and took a bite. The sour taste was indeed a little lighter, but the milky smell was strong and there was no sweetness.

It is indeed a pure natural good thing. It tastes very similar to milk powder. It is absolutely nutritious for children to eat.

It may be due to the taste cultivated by technology in his previous life. Li Wen felt the taste was average after eating it. No wonder there are often short videos of these things in later generations.

Although Li Wen doesn't like it, it doesn't stop the mainland from being short of this stuff! People in the mainland are in urgent need of this kind of protein nutrition.

"Comrade Aheqi, do you have a lot of dairy products in your tribe? I want to buy some." Li Wen ate the remaining half of the milk tofu in his hand and asked with a smile.

"The public is not allowed to sell these things to private individuals, but I can secretly sell you some." Aheqi said in a low voice.

"Comrade Aheqi, I am a buyer. I have a purchasing certificate here. You can sell to me with confidence." Li Wen took out his work certificate and explained with a smile.

"That's even better, Comrade Li, as long as your price is right, I still have some beef jerky at home that I can sell to you." Aheqi glanced at Li Wen's work permit and laughed.

The two were chatting happily when the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

"Comrade Li, look, my good brother Maimaiti Timur is back." Aheqi laughed and stood up.

Li Wen also stood up and saw two horses carrying two people galloping towards them in the distance.

"Shh!"

The two horses stopped directly in front of the yurt.

The male owner of the house is dressed in black, stain-resistant ethnic clothing, boots, and has a beard. He looks very strong.

"Your guest from afar, I have kept you waiting for a long time." The man jumped off his horse and walked towards Li Wen enthusiastically.

When he came to Li Wen, the man put his right hand on his chest and performed the Uyghur greeting ceremony.

Li Wen also smiled and returned the same courtesy.

"Brother Maimaiti, this is Comrade Li, a guest from far away Chang'an.

Comrade Li is a buyer in a department store. Isn’t your family’s private plot all planted with cantaloupes? He wants them all.

The price offered by Comrade Li is very good. Your family will make a small fortune this time." Aheqi pulled the man and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Comrade Li." Maimaiti said in broken Xia dialect.

"Your son is very brave and will be an outstanding talent in the future." Li Wen praised the little boy who jumped off the pony.

"Ha ha!"

When Maimaiti heard Li Wen praising his son, his face burst into laughter.

"Comrade Li, I will take you to the fields to pick melons. I guarantee that they will be the best." Maimaiti took Li Wen and left.

"Comrade Maimaiti, is the melon field far away?"
