Chapter 417 Wugu Taicuo and Matouqin
The door of the yurt is not high, and people have to bend over to pass through.

The entire floor of the yurt is covered with thick carpets, and there is a wooden support in the middle that is painted with red paint to support the felt cloth on the top.

As soon as you enter the door, here is the place to change shoes. Several people took off their shoes and stepped on the carpet. It is very soft and comfortable to step on.

There is no bed in the yurt, and the table is set up for eating, and the table is put away for sleeping, and the quilt is directly spread on the carpet.

The table used here is a low table with a length of about [-] centimeters. People sit directly on the carpet. However, it may be because the place is already open for business, and there is a circle of small benches beside the table. This is a consideration Maybe the Han people are not good at sitting cross-legged.In fact, the Northeast used to eat on the kang on a plate.

Zhang Jun arranged meals without discussing with everyone, and then everyone sat down and talked casually.Xiaohong and Geng Hui held hands and walked around the bag, feeling around, like an adventurer.

After the two curious girls explored the entire yurt, the door curtain was raised, and a girl in traditional Mongolian costume came in, holding a stack of clay bowls and a large pot.

Zhang Jun waved and said, "Come on, come and taste this."

Several people gathered around the table to watch, Xiaohong asked: "What is this?"

The waiter quickly placed the bowl on the table and said, "Ugu Taicuo."

Xiaohong raised her head and asked Xiaowei: "What?"

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Tea, a kind of traditional Mongolian tea, was used to receive distinguished guests in the past. It is called Wugu Taicuo in Mongolian."

The waiter knelt on the edge of the table to set the bowl, added a piece of ghee to the bowl, then took a large pot and added some thick milky white milk tea to the bowl, after stirring it became sticky, she added some fried cooked The highland barley grains, and then kneeled up and bowed his head, and served tea to everyone with both hands.

Zhang Jun stretched out his hands to take it and said, "Take it with both hands, you must understand etiquette."

Everyone took the tea with both hands in an orderly manner, and immediately felt a strong sense of ritual, solemn and cordial.

The waiter turned around and left after serving the tea, saying a word from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Jun said: "Just mix and eat like this, try it."

Xiaohong asked in a low voice: "Why is she kneeling? It feels so hard, I'm even embarrassed."

Zhang Jun said: "Their kneeling is not the same as what we usually say. Kneeling was a very common thing in our history. In the past, there were no stools, and everyone, including the emperor, also knelt." People straighten up their bodies and carry luggage when they greet each other. Until the Tang Dynasty, stools gradually became popular. At that time, they were called Hu Chuang, and the word bed originally meant a kind of stool. But kneeling was still a formal etiquette at that time.

Stools and high tables became popular in the late Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, people usually met standing without kneeling, but the kneeling ceremony was still passed down as a formal etiquette, but at that time only the emperor, relatives and teachers, and only the formal Kneeling will only be done on special occasions. At the same time, kneeling has become a common way of saluting in officialdom, expressing respect and submission, but it is not mandatory except to see the emperor.

In addition to seeing the emperor, kneeling is also mandatory during litigation, that is, during the court hearing, the plaintiff and the defendant must kneel to answer questions, the original intention is to make people alert and listen.

In the Yuan Dynasty, kneeling salute became kneeling, because the Mongols have always maintained the tradition of kneeling and sitting, and Mongolia is essentially a slave system, and kneeling represents obedience.He knelt down on his knees and put his hands on his sides, as if a dog, cat, tiger or wolf were showing their bellies to their opponents, expressing their complete submission and complete submission.

In the Ming Dynasty, the rules of the Song Dynasty were basically restored, and even more relaxed. When the ministers saw the emperor, they just bowed their hands and bowed.Kneeling at this time represents the greatest respect.

When it’s over, we come to the Qing Dynasty. It’s another slavery nation. The Qing Dynasty is ruthless. The heads of the people killed are endless. The Han people are not even slaves. All the people are slaves, and that's how servility comes about.

The kneeling ceremony of the Mongolians is just a national tradition. It is similar to shaking hands and saying hello when we meet now, so don't think too much about it. "

Geng Hui held the tea bowl and listened to Zhang Jun's words, and said, "Brother, you really know a lot."

Xiaohong's small bowl was already empty, she tapped her mouth and said, "It's delicious, it's a bit like ice cream." Her eyes drifted to Xiaowei's bowl, and she handed over the small bowl and said, "Here, I can eat it later Don’t have enough food?” Xiaohong happily took it.

After Wugu Taicuo finished eating, the door curtain moved again, and the food was served.

Hand-held lamb is lamb chops. The whole root is boiled and eaten with sauce. It is fat, tender and delicious.

Grilled lamb chops, roasted lamb legs, roasted lamb, stewed lamb, fried lamb liver, fried noodles, almost no green vegetables, there are no vegetables on the grassland, and there are no vegetables in traditional Mongolian recipes.After eating for a while, Chen Hui looked around and said, "Why is there no wine?"

Zhang Jun smiled and asked, "How's your drinking capacity?"

Chen Hui said: "It's okay, I can order it on time. Doesn't this place sell alcohol?"

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Yes."

Xiaohong turned her head to listen and said, "What's the sound?"

Everyone quieted down and listened carefully, a whimpering music came over, Zhang Jun put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands with a towel beside the table, smiled and said to Chen Hui: "Xiaowei, I know how much to drink, just pour it in one glass, you are ours." It's the main force, don't be cowardly."

Chen Hui was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

The sound of the piano became clearer and clearer. When the door curtain was raised, a Mongolian woman wearing a Mongolian robe and a half-ear hat came in. Behind her was two women and a man. There was a vibrato that was crisp and sharp but not harsh.

The half-eared woman performed a Mongolian salute, greeted in Mongolian, and then sang to the sound of the matouqin. The two women behind her were holding a blue khata, and the other was holding a wine bowl. The mouth of the bowl is as big as a human face.Zhang Jun signaled several people to stand up.

She sang a few lines, and walked over with a khata from the woman beside her. Zhang Jun immediately pointed to Chen Hui, who was bewildered.

While singing, the half-ear hat put the hada on Chen Hui's neck, and turned around to take a large bowl.

The woman holding the big bowl held a large copper jug ​​in her other hand, and lifted it lightly to fill the bowl with slightly cloudy goat's milk.The half-ear hat held the wine bowl in his left hand, tapped the wine bowl with the middle finger of his right hand and swung it upwards, then tapped again and waved towards the ground, then tapped again on the center of his eyebrows, and then handed the wine bowl to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui glanced at Zhang Jun and took the wine bowl with both hands. Zhang Jun smiled and explained: "Like her. You have to dip in the wine. Dip the middle finger of your right hand in the wine, yes, flick it into the air, then dip it, and flick it to the ground. Wipe it between the eyebrows, yes, let’s do it.”

Chen Hui opened his eyes instantly and looked at Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Yes, it's done."

Chen Hui swallowed, and looked at the half-ear hat. She looked at Chen Hui expectantly with her big beautiful eyes, and stretched out her hands as a gesture of drinking.Chen Hui put the bowl to his mouth, tasted it, and then dried it. The bowl is not deep, a little over five centimeters, but it is big.

After finishing drinking the wine in the bowl, Chen Hui hiccupped and returned the bowl, took the bowl and sang again, Zhang Jun said: "Three bowls. Drink slowly and don't rush." ​​Sure enough, the woman next to her Lift the big pot and fill it up again.

After three bowls, Chen Hui was a little flustered, then Zhang Jun, one bowl, Xia Maosheng, one bowl, Xiaowei half a bowl, Geng Hui and Xiaohong only poured the bottom of one bowl, Xiaohong licked her lips after drinking Said: "It's delicious, not spicy."

After presenting the hada and drinking the toast, they sang a complete song with the half-ear hat accompanied by the matouqin, and then saluted, and several people went out.

Only then did Chen Hui speak: "Why do you take three bowls of me, one bowl, half a bowl?"

Zhang Jun handed Chen Hui a large platoon and said: "It used to be that everyone got three bowls, but later it became commercialized. It is enough for a group of people to have one three bowls, and other people can do whatever they want, as long as they are courteous." Yes. If it doesn’t work at the Mongol’s house, everyone has to drink it. How is it? Is it good?”

Chen Hui took a deep breath and said, "The wine is okay, that's the way to drink it, it's not good." He put down the big row and stood up, took two steps to the side, shook it, and then fell down.Goat's milk wine is not strong, and it is still wine if it is not strong. There are [-] to [-] degrees, not to mention three big bowls that are suffocated in a row.

Xiaowei and the others were taken aback for a moment, then they all laughed.
