Chapter 1650 Good Dog
The Yi people have two kinds of wine. The old wine was brewed from buckwheat. During gatherings, it was put in a clay pot with a straw inserted and everyone took turns drinking it like a straw. It was called "Pole pole wine".
Buckwheat wine has a low alcohol content. Nowadays, this kind of wine is about to disappear from the stage of history. It has been replaced by corn wine brewed in small wineries and brought to the Yi people in exchange for corn.
Corn is called Baogu here, so this wine is called Baogu wine.
Most Yi people are good at wine. This kind of Baogu wine has a very high alcohol content, usually 68 to 70 degrees. When Zhou Zhi drank it for the first time, it felt almost the same as drinking alcohol, but people liked it.
And their drinking capacity is very good. Zhou Zhi's drinking capacity is considered good in Jiachuan, but he can't be ranked here at all.
But today is my first time here, Zhou Zhi doesn’t dare to say he won’t drink, and the real wine master at home seems to be absent. Tu Liangzhi’s drinking capacity is something Zhou Zhi can bully in Lianhe Township, so he is not afraid.
Although it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, Gillette Abbey still tries its best to make the guests feel a little "rich". In addition to the braised pork and cured meats brought by Zhou Zhi, Gillette Abbey crispy beans and peanuts , then cooked a pot of pumpkin soup with a pickled cabbage stick, and fried some dried potato chips, which seemed to be pretty good.
The sauerkraut of the Yi people is made from a type of mustard called "round root vegetables". Like the Miao mountainous areas, the Yi mountainous areas also lacked salt in ancient times, so they used fermented sour water to make sauerkraut, or slightly Dried vegetables are made after fermentation and are very common as a means of preserving vegetables.
Of course there is no longer a shortage of salt in Lianhe Township, but every household still makes this kind of sauerkraut every year. From the beginning of autumn until the beginning of spring, round-root sauerkraut and round-root dried vegetables are still eaten by the Yi people's fire ponds. The most common dishes.
Perhaps due to limitations of altitude and water and soil, these two vegetables cannot compare with the rich fermented aroma of pickled cabbage and bean sprouts from Jiachuan, so they are often stewed with sweet foods such as pumpkins and sweet potatoes.
However, there is one very tricky aspect of this method, which is the oil scraping. Zhou Zhi ate this for the first time that year, and accidentally ate a little more. In the middle of the night, his cheeks were so wet that he kept drooling. , and in the end it was Gillette Abi who cooked him a bowl of lard noodles to "cure" him.
It was also because of this shadow that Zhou Zhi directly brought dozens of kilograms of lard and vegetable oil over this time. He was really afraid of flooding.
So tonight's soup Zhouzhi specially asked Gillette to add lard, and also threw two canned luncheon meat slices into it to make it even more fragrant.
There is also a wall in the big room that is covered with wooden nails, with all kinds of strange and weird objects hanging on it.
Zhou Zhi didn't understand it before, but now he knows that those are the magical tools used by Bimo.
Dharma instruments and instruments are the means and basis for Bimo to engage in ritual activities. They are tools with special magical powers that Bimo relies on to reach gods, subjugate demons, eliminate disasters, pray for blessings, etc.
In the Liangshan area, Bimo's commonly used ritual tools mainly include Dharma fans, Dharma hats, Dharma bells, sign tubes and scriptures, and the utensils he carries with him are Dharma nets.
Dharma-protecting instruments include eagle claws, pig-tooth collars, tiger teeth, etc. For example, Tu Liangzhi’s father Jike Chiri, a Noha-level “big Bimo”, the magical instruments in his hands are not generally sophisticated. .
So on this wall, there are even leopard skins, tiger skin cloaks and two tiger claws.
"Where's the old man?" Zhou Zhi asked Tu Liangzhi after seeing that the dishes were all put together.
"I took the dog out early in the morning." Tu Liangzhi said: "Look, what I said about him is of no use, right? It's so powerful, why don't you think there will be no guests at home? ?”
“How do you know I didn’t count?” When Tu Liangzhi said this, an old voice sounded at the door: “I don’t think you can afford to entertain others. , took the black dragon up the mountain to find game. "
The old man described a thin face full of wrinkles, a dark complexion, a long hero's knot on his head, and a cloak made of undyed felt. "Charva", followed by an extremely fierce black dog, the firelight in the fire pit flashed in its pupils, like an evil spirit from the region. "Old man." Zhou Zhi quickly stood up and saluted the old man: "I came uninvited and disturbed you."
"What a good boy, we are a rare visitor." The old man had his hands behind his back before, but now he showed his hands and was holding two fishes.
"Abi, make a fish for the guest." The old man handed the fish to Gilliam Abi.
"This old man is so amazing." Wu Renzhong touched his forehead with his hand: "It's so accurate!"
After that, he added: "I went fishing with the black dragon. ?”
“The Bimo Family He doesn't hunt." A wry smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth: "Bimo only eats raised livestock. Wild animals also have spirits and cannot be eaten. The same goes for the horses, donkeys, cats, and dogs that work for us and look after the house. Not edible.”
"Then where did these two fish come from?"
"I went to Yiqugu Village to exchange them." The old man sat by the fire pond, took out a few eggs from his pocket, and beat them one by one for the pickled cabbage lunch. Broth: "In their village, Bidino was not in good health, so I went to his house to sing. "My son gave me two fish from the pond."
"I didn't want a chicken, so I took a few eggs." The old man beat the last egg. On the threshold, the black dragon stretched out its pink fleshy tongue and licked it clean in two licks.
Tu Liangzhi remembered that his wife was reluctant to take out the two eggs just now, and now his father was beating the last egg to feed the dog. He couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhi secretly, fearing that he would be angry because he thought his family was stingy.
"Grandpa cooked the black dragon really well." Zhou Zhi was indeed looking at the black dragon with a look of envy in his eyes. Compared with this dog, Guan Tingting's glutinous rice balls were just useless.
"Little doll, do you really understand?" The old Yi expressed disbelief.
Zhou Zhi felt funny in his heart. His limited knowledge was actually taught to him by this old man in his previous life, but now it is just right to use it to build a relationship: "If we are not mistaken, the black dragon is a The burning head with red and green clothes."
"Hey! The little kid really knows!" The man was so happy that his face wrinkled up: "Hahahaha, don't talk about the Han people, even many Yi people don't know what's going on here! No wonder Heilong didn't call out when someone came in. This is because he knows you understand. Here it is! "
The dog raised by the Liangshan Yi people is called "Hushan Dog", which is actually a small hunting dog.
