Chapter 2509

The birthday girls and the elderly all came, and the luncheon also kicked off.

First, some ingredients and side dishes are presented to the table. After the supplies and side dishes are complete, the host invited by the host makes a speech first and then serves the main course.

The first dish prepared by the host is the Cow Head Feast.

The Cow Head Banquet and the Whole Sheep Banquet are the most solemn banquets of the Mongolian people. The Cow Head Banquet is very ceremonial. The cow head is actually a braised cow head. The braised cow head is covered with a red flower and is placed on the table. Put it on a wooden tray and push it to the banquet on a cart.

When the cow's head is put on the table, the host proposes a bowl of wine to the most distinguished guest at the table, and asks him to make two cross-shaped cuts on the cow's head, then cut it into pieces, and then invites the guests to eat.

After eating the beef head, the eldest or most distinguished person at the table must say "all have been used" to everyone at the table before the wooden plate can be removed. If the elder does not speak during the dinner , or if there are still guests eating, the dishes cannot be removed.

After the wooden plate is removed, the guests all have to drink some porridge cooked by the host. Drinking porridge means eating the Bull Head Feast. If you don’t drink the porridge, it doesn’t count as eating the Bull Head Feast.

The cow head used in the cow head feast requires very exquisite craftsmanship. Lejia did not have time to make it, so he ordered it from a professional hotel in Ximeng City and transported it back to the grassland from Ximeng overnight last night.

In addition to cow heads, there are also whole sheep and roast beef and mutton meat, which were just shipped back from Ximeng City last night.

Leshi and the helpers invited to cook the stew, put the skewers on the fire to grill, bake pancakes, make soup and porridge, and heat the braised beef head and whole lamb, they are still busy You have to keep your feet from touching the ground.

It was the first time for Le’s parents Zhou Qiufeng and Leshan to participate in the most primitive Mongolian feast. They were also affected by the solemn ceremony. Their emotions were aroused, and they felt excited and excited.

The dishes are also served according to the order of honor, from west to east, starting with the oldest and most distinguished guests at the table, and then serving the dishes in a clockwise direction.

Mrs. Baoyin is the birthday girl, and her table was served first.

The host asked the old lady’s mother-in-law to make the first cut. Le’s father had no choice but to drink a bowl of wine, took away the red flowers from the cow’s head, and then scratched the cow’s head. Two knives.

He completed the first process, and the person at the same table who was responsible for pouring wine and serving dishes then changed the knife and evenly cut the meat into small pieces, and then asked the old lady and the old lady to The mother-in-law took a piece first, and then the other guests started.

Not long after the first main course was served, Lejian and his brothers and sisters held a saucer with a khata and toasted to their old mother and the guests from her mother's family.

They completed a round of toasts, and the brothers and sisters of the Yun generation of the Le family made another round of toasts, and then the Shu generation made a toast..

Then representatives of the Le family formed a team to toast.

After a round of toasts, the cow head was almost eaten, and the plate was removed.

After the guests drank the porridge, before the second main course was served, the host made a speech and explained that the second main course was a gift from Baoyin’s mother’s family.

The host explained the origin of the dish. He and his family toasted to the old lady’s family, and then he and the guests toasted to the old lady’s family to express their gratitude.

After that, the second course officially appeared.

Le Xiaololi brought nineteen braised whole lambs. Although it was not enough for each table, a lamb divided into four portions was enough.

The aroma of braised whole lamb overwhelms the aroma of other delicacies.

Plates of mutton were served on the table, followed by several people carrying steamed buns and baking bread on carts.

The number of flower buns is limited, and they are placed on several tables where the most distinguished and respected old people sit. The other guests each get a piece of fragrant toasted bread.

There are more than 900 toasts, so you don’t have to worry about not getting enough.

The braised mutton is yellow on the outside and crispy on the inside. The meat is so soft that even a toothless old man can eat it.

The mutton also comes with side dishes, pieces of green vegetables that look like kelp slices, which are crisp and delicious to bite. When paired with toasted bread, the taste will linger in the world even if gods taste it.

The hosts and guests tasted the braised mutton and were all in high spirits.

After the stewed mutton, there is the local mutton stew. The stewed mutton is cut into pieces. Each table has a large plate of stewed mutton, as well as white soup and mutton offal.

The guests ate the stew for a while, some played the morinouqin, and some went to sing and dance on the open-air lawn.

After the song and dance ended, the men and women served wine with khatas and toasted to Mrs. Baoyin and her natal family.

They paid tribute to the old birthday star, and the brothers of the host family paid tribute to the men and women who sang, danced and played the Morin Fhuur.

After the first wave of people, the second wave of people sang and danced to wish Mrs. Baoyin her birthday and toast.

The host responded with the same enthusiasm.

After that, waves of people came to wish the old lady birthday.

All men, women and children on the grassland are good at dancing. Even if they sing the same song or dance the same dance, they have different charms.

Every time a wave of people toasted the birthday girl, they also toasted themselves. Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, refused to refuse anyone who came and drank bravely.

The couple were generous and the guests were particularly happy.

Le Yun was a good-natured person who did not drink. Every time she touched her lips, she received the affectionate affection from the guests. The two siblings watched people singing and dancing with relish.

All the guests sang birthday songs and toasted the birthday star, including the guests from other provinces who were invited by the villagers in the same village.

Do you think this is the end?

No, after the first round of singing and dancing, waves of men, women, old and young went to sing and dance, and sometimes people from the host’s family also joined in.

Mrs. Baoyin was no exception, dancing and singing with the guests.

Le dad Zhou Qiufeng also went because the guests took them to dance, and they were so warmly welcomed that they went too. Even if they just followed the clumsy turns a few times, they won warm applause from everyone.

The kitchen constantly delivers barbecue, kumiss, and milk tea to the banquet, and there is never an empty plate at every table.

Here, men, women, old and young on the grassland were singing and dancing, and the luncheon was very lively. On the grassland twenty or thirty miles away from the herders’ settlements, several people were also eating.

In the depths of the prairie, there are no humans, only grassland dotted with flowers of various colors.

Two of the most inconspicuous vans in the city were parked quietly behind a hill. The doors were open and the air was flowing inside.

There was no one inside the car. Several people spread out a cloth in the shade between the two cars and placed the food they brought with them to have lunch.

People sit opposite each other, three on one side and two on the other.

On one side of the three people is an old woman and two middle-aged men. The old woman put on light makeup, making it difficult to tell her original age, but the nasolabial folds at the corners of her eyes are difficult to hide, as well as her gray hair. It all shows that she is no longer young.

On one side of the two people is an old man and a middle-aged man. The older man looks to be in his sixties or seventies, with sparse hair mixed with gray on his temples.

When the old woman and the elderly man were eating, they put their sunglasses on their foreheads, while the other three people kept their sunglasses on their faces while eating.

The old woman and the elderly man whose faces were revealed all have ordinary faces, and there are no features that make people remember them at first sight.

Lunch was finished quickly. The man in sunglasses cleaned up the mess and handed bottled water to his boss.

The old woman rinsed her mouth with water, then took two sips, tightened the bottle cap and asked: "How are you preparing?"

"We don't need you to worry about it. Our elders have said that we can take action. After the matter is completed, the elders will first ask her some things alone, and the rest will be handled according to the old rules."

"Deal."

"Again, youYou must ensure the authenticity of the information you provide. Don't use false information to deceive your teammates. If someone from the monk family is secretly lurking nearby, targeting us and exposing us, our elders are not very good-tempered. "

"My information is 100% accurate. It's just her family. She didn't bring any bodyguards, and no one from any sect or family came to the grassland.

This is the only opportunity. If she misses this opportunity, once she becomes defensive and suspicious, and wants to test her again, she doesn’t know that she will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

The success of the action is not only important to you, but also important to me. Naturally, I will not do stupid things that harm others and myself.

Do I need the cooperation of people on my side? ”

　“No need. "

"Friendly reminder, she is not only good at medicine, she is also very talented in poisoning. I am afraid that methods such as poisoning can be easily seen through. "

" "You don't have to worry about how we act. When it comes to poison, no one is more familiar with it than our elders." "

The old man glanced at the old woman and said, "The information has changed." He got up and got into the van behind him and closed the door.

The man in the sunglasses will be another person. The door on one side was also closed, and I got into the cab, started the car, turned around, and headed straight to the north.

The white bread gradually faded away, and the old woman also got in the car.
< br /> A middle-aged man in sunglasses also got into the car and drove away from the place, going in the opposite direction to the car that left first.

On the vast grassland, there were no settlements, no cattle, sheep or The traces left by the carriages and horses are endless.

The van carrying the elderly man drove through the grassland without any roads. After driving for a while, it turned around and headed towards Xingmeng. Driving.

During the driving process, we passed through several herder settlements and pasture areas contracted by herdsmen, and entered the savanna of Xingmeng from the grassland area affiliated to Ximeng City.

The van drove to a sparse forest far away from human habitation. When the van reached a hidden place in the woods, the two people in the van got out of the van and walked.

After walking for hundreds of A few meters ago, several tents most commonly used by travelers appeared on the grass in the forest.

There were more than ten people in the tent area, either sitting on the grass or sitting in the tents meditating. There were two The man on guard saw an old man and a middle-aged man approaching and did not stop him.

The old man walked across the grass and walked to a tent in the center. Outside, he sat down quietly and waited for the people in the tent to finish practicing before replying.

The person meditating in the tent was an old man about seventy years old, with a faceHe also has a popular face, with regular features and a goatee.

He was wearing an ordinary shirt and slacks, and his black hair was neatly combed. If you put him on the street, he would be the most inconspicuous passerby.

If it’s more vulgar, even if you throw it into a crowd, you won’t be able to pick it out.

If the old man was thrown into the crowd and could not be picked out, he slowly opened his eyes after the people who came back sat down. Those eyes were far different from his appearance. The eyes were bright and sharp. Like a knife.

His voice was not as sharp as his eyes, but it was very cold: "Luo San, how was the conversation?"
