Chapter 60 Chef's Shot

Now Lao Liu and the other four have gained a thorough understanding.

If it weren't for the detailed explanation of Zhuoma, who would have thought that these babies from the great men would be so important to Tibetans!

This is really a place of water and soil to support the people!

Lao Liu was somewhat aware of the situation of the northern Tibetan grassland. He knew very well that from Dangquka County to the north to Kunlun Mountain, there was no tree on the northern Tibetan plateau, which was nearly 1,000 kilometers wide.

Until now, Heishui City still offers a reward. Whoever can plant a tree in the area under Heishui will be rewarded with 300,000 yuan!

This is not nonsense, it is a real thing.

Without trees, it means that herders cannot use wood to make fuel without fuel for heating or cooking.

But this did not stump the hardworking and intelligent herdsmen. They used long wa as fuel to ensure a thousand years of life!

In addition to marveling at Jiuwa's important role, Lao Liu and the other four were also impressed by the pure original ecology here.

The sky here is more orchid than the sky here in Dangquka County, and the terrain here is also flatter. Herdsmen like Dunzhu Zhuoma and their family have lived here for generations for countless years.

Maybe in the past they lived by water and grass, and there was no fixed place to live. A tent sewn in yak leather was their home. When the cattle and sheep were transferred, all the houses were gathered and put on the back of the yak, and the young children were also placed in the vine basket on the back of the yak. ​​Then the family drove the cattle and sheep to transfer to the pasture with abundant aquatic plants...

However, when the country began to help the herders here build settlements and invested a lot of resources here, the hard-working and unsettled days of herders' staying in no place will be returned.

The state helped them build houses, divide pastures, and help them grazing scientifically. After purchasing their cattle and sheep at high prices, the herders on the plateau lived a better life.

Only when a family is completely settled and has a residence can it be called a real family!

It is like in such a high-altitude, if it were placed before liberation, such a natural village would not be formed. But now, natural villages composed of several households and more than a dozen households can now be seen everywhere on the plateau.

These small natural villages are like pearls falling on the huge plateau, giving countless vitality to the empty and lonely plateau.

Although this small village has only eight families, it covers a large area. Under the leadership of Zhuoma, Lao Liu and his team circled around the village and spent more than half an hour.

So Lao Liu suggested going back to help with the cooking, after all, there are two professional chefs here.

When Zhuoma returned to Zhuoma's house, when Zhuoma told his parents that Lao Liu and the others wanted to help, Zhuoma's parents did not object.

Now it is not like before. In the past, guests cannot let the guests take action when they come to be guests, but now some customs have been changed a lot. Thanks to the information explosion, even the Tibetans in remote areas are slowly being affected.

Seeing the owner agreeing, Mo Long and Da Dudu took down some of the things they brought.

Among them are Tianqu’s local specialties, such as Tianqu’s famous nationwide braised chicken, jujube, and a local ham produced in Tianqu that Lao Liu specially purchased before leaving, as thick as an adult’s forearm and some dried fruits.

Originally, Big Dog wanted to get some seafood, but Lao Liu stopped him.

Dunzhu Zhuoma was standing beside him, and Lao Liu asked her: "My sister Zhuoma, are there any taboos in eating chicken here? "

Lao Liu knew that the Tibetans were very particular about food, and there were many things that could not be eaten. For example, horse meat, donkey meat, mule meat, dog meat, birds, fish and other Eastern XCs would never eat. In addition, chickens, even eggs, and seafood were not eaten among the older generation of Tibetans.

Even if it is beef and mutton, it will have to be left for one day after slaughtering. Zangbi does not eat the cattle and sheep slaughtered on the same day, because Zangbi believes that although cattle and sheep and other livestock have been slaughtered, their souls are still there, and they will have to wait for a day before the soul will disappear...

Many of the local specialties I brought were foods that Tibetans were taboo to eat. If you don’t ask for it, it would be bad if you took it out rashly.

Dunzhu Zhuoma asked curiously: "What good things did you bring?"

Lao Liu asked the big dog to take down the big bag containing local specialties. Lao Liu originally bought these local specialties for Wang Chaoyang, Danzengjeb, and Zhashidava. He bought a lot of them at that time. Now he is here to visit Zhuoma's house, so it doesn't matter if he takes out some of them.

"Wow, this is your famous braised chicken in Tianqu? This is OK, although my grandparents don't eat it, my parents and my brothers and sisters eat it. Well, there will be some neighbors today, and they are not afraid of it. Hey, there are also seafood dry goods, and this is fine. We don't have as many rules as Gar. Besides, it's a new era now, and some things should be changed."

After hearing Zhuoma say this, Lao Liu felt relieved to take out all the food he could take out.

Of course, as a chef, Dagou and Xiaojun also brought out some condiments, such as cumin, chili noodles, etc.

Dagou and Xiaojun know nothing about making dishes here, but there is no shortage of beef and mutton here, so as chefs, they have come up with the skill of "nothing can't be barbecued"!

So, the carbon box that had been with the white lion in the trunk was also taken out. According to my uncle, this is his treasure. His family of three usually pointed to this barbecue box and lived...

The altitude here is higher, and without a pressure cooker, the cooking method of stewing will not work. However, cooking methods such as frying, salt baking, and barbecue are fine.

Everyone was busy together, working for two hours. When they were getting faster, a small number of people gathered in the open space in front of Zhuoma's house. The strong smell of food was floating around. The white lion led five or six Tibetan mastiffs to stare at them, but the drooling at the corners of the mouths of these dogs had completely betrayed them...

This meal can be said to be a combination of Chinese and Tibetan. The food contributed by Zhuoma family include ghee tea, tsampa, milk tea, barley wine, stewed mutton, stewed beef, barley cake and mutton sausage. Lao Liu and the others contributed four salt-baked mackerel made by the uncle, and a few cold vegetables. Of course, the highlight is the barbecue made by the big dog.

To be honest, the food taste of Tibetans is really a bit average in the country. There is no way to do that. The plateau is the most difficult place in the country. Most of the Tibetans who lived here before liberation could not even fill their stomachs. Who cares about the taste of the food?

In addition to the high altitude here, many foods have great restrictions on cooking methods, which has led to a significant reduction in the taste of traditional Tibetan foods.

So, when two chefs from Dongshan showed their skills, everyone was feasting.
