Chapter 3: Don’t let down the delicious food!

"Mom begged Uncle Jiesga to get you a horse, so that you no longer have to ride on the old argali to chase Miman and the others."

Naha's hot breath made Yunchu's ears itch. He slapped Naha's butt with his backhand and said, "Who did you learn this from?"

"Follow mom, that's how mom talks to Uncle Jiesga. Uncle Jiesga's face is so dark and red that he doesn't even know if the milk bumps on his hands have fallen off."

"Don't talk to people like this in the future!" Yun Chu felt that his educational tasks seemed to be even more arduous.

"Mom said that men like women to talk to them like this, and she wants me to learn from it..."

"I said - no learning!"

"I don't!"

Naha got angry, grabbed Yunchu's long hair with both hands and shook it hard.

Beating Naha once a day was a rule Yunchu set for himself, otherwise Naha, who was always naughty and making mistakes, would be in a state of crying all day long.

It was obvious that Naha also knew about her brother's rules and had mastered the loopholes in the rules. Often after being beaten by her brother, she would become more arrogant and unscrupulous.

Yun Chu patted the head of the black-eyed ram angrily. The black-eyed ram immediately kicked off its hooves and ran to the front of the team, running towards the tent without hesitation.

"Ouch -" more shouts sounded, and more shepherds drove their sheep out of various mountain cols. The foot of Tianshan Mountain suddenly became lively.

Yun Chu carried Naha on his back and looked back at the snow-capped Tianshan Mountains. He had been looking at this scenery for 13 years, and even the best scenery was a bit boring.

If, if Selema really wants to enter Jiesga's tent, he wants to leave here and go to Chang'an, which is haunted by dreams.

Let’s see if Chang’an in the books becomes as prosperous as imagined.

You are not a Uighur in the first place, so you can't cover your ears and think that you are a Uighur.

In addition, the life of the Huihe people is really not suitable for him.

Yun Chu was afraid that if he stayed here for a long time, the civilization in his mind would pass by little by little, and eventually he would forget all those things.

A fat marmot rolled down the grass slope, and Naha immediately jumped off Yunchu's back.

Two guys who were almost equally fat bumped into each other hard. Naha obviously won with her height advantage. She strangled the marmot's neck with both hands and shouted anxiously to Yun Chu: "Brother, hurry up and light the fire."

The marmot was strangled by Naha's neck and struggled for a few times before becoming motionless. Its originally fat body hung freely, making it look a little lanky.

Yunchu rescued Big Fat from Naha's clutches, and the guy immediately squatted beside him and called out "chirp", pointing one paw at Naha who was staring at him eagerly to vent his dissatisfaction.

He took out two milk lumps and fed them to Dafa. Dafa immediately forgot about the humiliating scene just now.

This guy is the spy in the marmot group, a spy who belongs to Yunchu alone. He has no sense of honor of the group and the consciousness of living and dying together with the group.

Ever since Yun Chu rescued it as a young child from the claws of the golden eagle and met on the grassland for a long time, its feelings for Yun Chu were deeper than those with the tribe.

As long as Yunchu goes to herd sheep, it will appear around Yunchu, and will also lure other marmots over for Yunchu to catch and burn.

Marmots are strange animals that trust their companions almost unconditionally.

Of course, the big fat one must be removed, it is the scum of the marmot group.

As long as Da Fei leads them, they will come in groups... At this time, Yunchu only needs to use a leather bag to cover one of the marmots, and then give some food to the other marmots. This group of marmots is led by Da Fei. They left with satisfaction. As for the lack of one or two companions, they didn't seem to care. Maybe they didn't know how to count.

As long as Yunchu is willing to give it, he will come over next time to ask for high-calorie food such as milk pimples. As for missing some companions, it is a trivial matter.

Wherever the marmot appears, the golden eagle will definitely come as promised, just like it is normal for Naha to drool a lot whenever she sees a marmot.

The golden eagle flew silently high in the sky, and Big Fat gave out a shrill warning sound. The group of marmots immediately got into the grass and fled along the way they came.

Yun Chu said goodbye to Da Fei with the leather bag that kept shaking, and Da Fei once again stood on a high place and shouted to Yun Chu, somewhat reluctantly.

When they return to the cave, they may blame the loss of one or two companions on the golden eagle.

At this time, Naha had forgotten her brother's weird method of catching marmots. She just wanted to go home as soon as possible so that her brother could burn the marmot for her to eat.

The marmot's sharp claws had scratched the pocket. Yun Chu took out a baseball bat he had cut out from the back of the black eye socket, and beat the marmot to death in the leather pocket with one blow.

Black Eye socket took the sheep into the sheep pen by himself, while Yun Chu carried the marmot to the sheep feeding water tank, preparing to take care of the marmot.

It is impossible to understand the Huihe people's love for marmot meat if you are not a Huihe person.

Yunchu's identity as a Uighur was imposed on him by his mother, who was a Cypriot with pale skin, chestnut hair, and green eyes.

The reason why the Cypriot people can be called Uighurs is that the Cypriot tribe exchanged 500 beauties, tens of thousands of sheep, thousands of cattle, hundreds of camels, and hundreds of fine war horses.

In the past, they had another name - Jiuxing Tiele - Xue Yantuo - Uihe tribe - Sai tribe.

The reason why there is such a long name is that the Sai people with chestnut hair and green eyes can't beat anyone.

As long as it is a powerful tribe, they will choose to fight first and then surrender.

In general, tribes that surrender without fighting will be killed directly, and only those tribes with fighting power will be accepted by other powerful tribes.

Every tribe on the grassland, Gobi, and desert must ensure that their expansion behavior can make themselves stronger and stronger, not weaker and weaker.

The strategy of the Sai people is to fight if they can beat them, and join if they can't. The Sai people can be Huns, Turks, and of course Tiele people. If the countries of the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu were not too far away, the Sai people actually discussed the topic of joining them.

With the identity of Huihe people, there is no need to worry about other Hu people coming to kill them or rob them, and they feel very safe.

There are also more cheap pastures and cheap cattle and sheep following the Tang army, so they think surrender is the right thing to do. The only worry is that it is not easy to find a strong boss like an evergreen tree.

However, since they chose to surrender, it was natural for them to be enslaved.

Every year, the Sai people had to pay the most cattle and sheep, the most supplies, and bear the heaviest combat missions to the Huihe people, but in return, the Huihe people only allowed them to call themselves Huihe people.

The Sai people seemed very satisfied, and Selaima and the others seemed very satisfied, so the Sai people's living habits were rapidly approaching the living habits of the Huihe people.

For example - eating marmots!

This little guy of the rodent squirrel family has a big and fat body, a thick neck and a wide snout, small ears and eyes, short and thick limbs, and a lot of fat in the body. It is a rare delicacy in the eyes of the Huihe people, and naturally became the Sai people's favorite food.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with taste, but only with flattery.

Just think about it, with only salt as a seasoning, how delicious can marmot meat be?

Of course, the marmot meat cooked by Yunchu is not included!

Unlike the common Huihe people who grill and stew marmot meat, Yunchu has his own unique cooking method.

After catching a marmot, Yunchu likes to insert two sticks into the marmot's anus and pull out the intestines and internal organs completely by rotating it. Since the marmot's intestines are very tough, the advantage of doing this is that it does not pollute the edible part of the marmot.

After the dirt is pulled out, the marmot's anus is sutured and the marmot's head is cut off, so there is a natural leather bag.

At this time, use a knife to pierce the marmot's trachea a few times, pour some clean water with added salt into it, chop the edible internal organs into pieces and put them in, and then add some black plums unique to Tianshan. This thing is very sour and can well release the freshness of marmot meat.

If you want to eat a good marmot meat, the root of white grass is indispensable. When it is heated, it will release a light, almost fragrant smell, especially when mixed with cumin, a specialty of Tianshan Mountain. The strong smell of cumin, similar to body odor, will be reduced. After reacting with the fat of meat, only the strange fragrance will remain.

Just let such a marmot skin bag stand for half an hour, take advantage of this time to burn a pile of fire on the sand, and throw some pebbles into the fire.

Wait for the bonfire to heat the sand and the stones to burn hot, then put these hot stones into this closed skin bag and bury them in the sand to stew.

This is a very efficient cooking method that can make the most of heat.

It only takes a moment to ripen, and the marmot skin bag buried in the sand will emit hot steam, which is shot out from the gaps in the skin bag. At this time, the whole skin bag is not much different from a weakened version of a pressure cooker.

After waiting patiently for another half an hour, a round marmot skin pocket appeared in front of people.

Use a knife to scrape off the burnt fur, and a yellow food similar to roast duck in a hanging oven appeared in front of people.

Put this thing on the old sheepskin, and gently scratch it with a knife, and the rich fat will automatically come out. The knife continues to scratch deeper, and the tight marmot skin will automatically separate to both sides, revealing the rich ingredients inside, so - a fat marmot feast appeared in front of people.

The first thing that caught the eye was the shiny and slightly yellow marmot fat. This thing was cut off with a knife and trembled on the tip of the knife. When it was put into the mouth, it quickly melted in the mouth without biting, and the liquid fat rolled down the throat. Before it fell into the stomach, it was absorbed by the hungry body without a drop left.

While the body was absorbing the fat, the Huihe people's eyes had already fallen on the red marmot heart and the slightly black marmot liver. The heart was crispy and very chewy, and the liver was soft like French foie gras. Putting it in the mouth was like putting a piece of silk into the mouth. It could fall into the stomach smoothly without chewing...

The marmot skin was extremely crispy at this time. Sprinkle a little salt on it and put it in the mouth. The crispy skin would quickly soften and feel like melting.

There was a reason why Selima liked to eat marmot skin.
