Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 619 Life in the Winter Nest

In Huzi's eyes, the female wolf must be beautiful and attractive, right?Anyway, he can't describe it, we can only guess from his eyes.

But at this moment, the female wolf dismissed him, and just opened her mouth with difficulty to pick up the meat on the ground and began to chew.It can be seen that every time her mouth moves, it will affect the wounds in her body and make her body tremble, but she still eats hard.Because wolves understand that their race has no doctors, no medicines, and the only thing that can heal their pain is food.

Chi Na'er looked out of the window at the wind and snow that would not stop for a moment, with a sad expression on her face.The house is already full of sheep.Kazakhs still don't like to burn coal, and the stove still burns dry cow dung.

Arslan was still sound asleep.I went to the yurt yesterday and drank too much. I just came home this morning. I must have not slept well.Their Dongwozi is on a hillside more than ten kilometers away from Zhang Jianmin and the others.

Yesterday Chi Naer took Ayijiang to herd the sheep by herself.Because the range of grazing in Dongwozi is small and the grass is relatively concentrated, men like to string yurts most this season, that is, they go to various houses to drink.

Chi Naer's parents moved to Lao Yumin shortly after she got married.A piece of land was planted and a settled life began.As they get older, their physical conditions no longer allow them to go nomadic.

Ayijiang is already three years old, imitating his mother, looking out of the window and sighing: "Mom, are the sheep not going out to eat soon?"

Chi Na'er hugged her daughter into her arms.I don't know what's going on.Since giving birth to Ayi Jiang, Chi Na'er has never been pregnant again.No matter how hard the strong Arslan tried, it was of no avail.

Because of this, Arslan became depressed, more alcoholic and bad-tempered.After all, if you don't have a son on the grassland, you will be looked down upon wherever you go.

Chi Na'er endured all this silently, she knew that this man was suffering.Kazakhs are not allowed to divorce, unless the spouse is dead.Although the laws of New China stipulate the freedom of marriage, every nation has its own beliefs, so this nation still lives in the way it likes.

It has been snowing for four consecutive days. If this continues, the sheep will really have no grass to eat.Chi Naer got up and filled a piece of cow dung into the stove.Then he filled the copper pot with snow, sat on the stove, and went to milk the cow by himself.There are several cows in the herdsman's family, and they have to live on their milk all year round.

The cows don't need to be closed, they are not far from the house.Because the location of the winter pasture is fixed, a shed was also built for several cows.

Seeing Chi Na'er coming out, a cow "mooed!" to her.It seems to be telling her: "Come on, it's too high."

Chi Na'er answered something, and then walked over with the small bucket.She first sprinkled a handful of soybeans in the stone trough, and then squatted down and began to milk the milk.

Chi Na'er is very skilled at milking, with both hands moving up and down the cow's nipples gently and quickly.Streams of milk steamed and fell into the small iron bucket on the ground under her movement.

The cow enjoyed all this, squinted her eyes and "mooed", and began to chew the soybeans in her mouth again.

Cattle and sheep are the food and companions of the Kazakhs. These animals have nurtured generations of Kazakhs for thousands of years.

After expressing half a small bucket of milk, Chi Na'er went back to the house.At this time, the water on the stove boiled.Chi Na'er picked up a piece of brick tea, broke off a piece from it, and threw it into the water.Then pour the fresh milk into the copper jug ​​until it is full.

After stirring it with a spoon a few times, the hard brick tea pieces have also been scattered.The so-called brick tea brick tea is made of various raw tea, sun-dried, sieved, fanned, cut, and ground to become a semi-finished product; and then steamed and pressed at high temperature.

Drinking brick tea for a long time can help digestion, effectively promote and regulate the metabolism of the human body, and play a certain role in health care and pathological prevention for the human body.Therefore, brick tea has a saying in Northwest China that "it is better to be without food for three days than to be without tea for one day".Along with milk and meat, brick tea has become the daily necessities of people of all ethnic groups in Northwest China.

The grassland does not produce tea, so this thing is sold from the mainland.It has been one of the main goods traded between the mainland and the Western Regions since ancient times.

Chi Na'er sprinkled a handful of salt into the teapot again.According to the Kazakhs, eating people without salt is powerless.

After the milk tea was ready, Ayijiang folded up the quilt and blanket she was sleeping on sensiblely, and put them on the cabinet by the wall.It's just that the blanket was a bit heavy, and she put it on her toes several times but couldn't put it on.

Seeing my mother walking in, I had no choice but to pout my mouth and ask my mother for help.Chi Na'er praised her daughter, and then neatly stacked the quilts on the cabinet.

"Arslan, the milk tea is ready, do you want to drink it?" Chi Na'er asked the snoring Arslan.Arslan turned over and went back to sleep.

Ayijiang sighed: "Mom, this father is the laziest cow on the grassland!"

Chi Na'er burst out laughing, and pulled her daughter to sit on the table.Then he took out several wooden bowls and began to pour milk tea into them.

"Mom, I want to eat Naipizi!" Ayijiang shouted.

Chi Na'er opened the lid of the pot and saw that a layer of milk had condensed on the top of the teapot, so she took it out with a spoon and put it into her daughter's bowl.Ayijiang cheered, and began to put his mouth to the edge of the bowl to suck on the milk.

There was still leftover mutton from eating last night. Chi Na'er cut a few slices with a knife and put them in her daughter's milk tea.Then break the naan into small pieces, put them into his milk tea bowl and start to eat breakfast.

Arslan didn't know how long she was going to sleep, and she had to hurry to herd the sheep after eating.This ghost weather does not know when the sheep will not be able to chew the grass in the snow.

The meal was finished soon, and Ayijiang told her daughter: "You watch Dad sleep, and Mom is going to herd the sheep."

Ayijiang also stood up: "I'm going to herd sheep with my mother, that little black listens to me the most!"

Chi Naer smiled: "Ayijiang is obedient, the snow is too thick, Ayijiang can't walk. If you follow your mother, you won't be able to herd the sheep."

Ayijiang pouted and resisted for a while, seeing that her mother was not soft-hearted at all, she had to give up.Waving his little hand, he shouted, "Goodbye, Mom, come back early."

Chi Na'er promised, opened the door, and led a few frail ewes out of the house.

The sheepfolds in Dongwozi are made of earthen walls.There is also a top on the side.It's just that this roof can't cover all the sheep at all.But sheep also have their own way to keep out the cold, that is to squeeze.The colder the weather, the closer the crowd, and with the thick fur, the severe cold of minus [-] to [-] degrees can withstand it.

Opening the door of the sheepfold, the sheep rushed out in a swarm, and then began to march towards the grassland under the leadership of the head sheep.
