Chastity Layman

Tuo Tuo meat is really delicious.

There are no spices, and there is no special cooking method. It is freshly slaughtered robust cattle, including yellow cattle and buffalo. The freshly slaughtered cattle are cut into large pieces and put directly into the pot for stewing. After stewing for an hour or two, out of the pot.

Poured on the banana leaves, it became a pile of overripe beef mountain.

A group of mountain barbarian men who carried knives and axes down the mountain to attack the city and break the county not long ago, but now they are sitting on the pine needles one by one, holding the knives and axes that killed people not long ago Cut it smaller.

While cutting, he stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth by the way.

So simple, even a little unhygienic.

The size of the meat is different, there is no certain standard, anyway, it is one or two pieces, and it can be eaten in almost one or two bites. The meat of the modified knife was lumpy, and it was still emitting heat.

Then there are younger teenagers who are responsible for taking a big bucket to pack the meat, and then mentioning the road, scooping the meat onto the banana leaves.

It is said that when the meat is stewed, only some fragrant leaves and cinnamon are put, nothing else, and finally some salt is put before the pot.

The salt is also very coarse salt, yellow and large, even a little bitter, with many impurities.

But it's such a simple ingredient, such a simple cooking method, and there's not even a table to speak of, but it still feels good to eat.

There is a very pure meat taste, the beef taste is very strong, but not fishy, ​​and the pork taste is also positive, without any smell.

Maybe it has something to do with the atmosphere.

It's like a picnic.

Or maybe it was because of the fresh wind blowing in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, which produced a different feeling.

In short, Qin Lang really thought the meat was delicious, and even their extremely simple roasted chicken, roasted duck, and roasted fish were actually very special.

"This fish is very good."

Qin Lang was holding a piece of grilled fish, and he was very happy to eat it. The fish was a little burnt, but it didn't affect the deliciousness of the fish. He felt that the fish was a bit like a crucian carp and a bit like a perch.

"This is crucian carp, which can climb mountains and ridges, and even climb trees. Sometimes they will run ashore and climb to the trees by the stream to eat fruit!"

Qin Lang felt that it was a bit of a fantasy.

Can fish climb trees and eat fruit?

Is it true that Yuan Mu Qiu Yu is true?

"It's true. If you look closely at this fish, there are thorns under their gills. They use this thorn to climb the ground or climb trees."

"But fish out of water, can they live?"

"Other fish can't do it, but this kind of fish can live for three to five days without water. Sometimes they will hide in the mud to survive, relying only on a little moisture in the mud, and they can even survive. I won’t die for a month or two, and once it rains, I can refresh myself again.”

According to Da Hei Niu, this kind of fish can sometimes climb several miles in one night.

From one stream, pond, to another, sometimes they can even climb over mountains.

For example, on the cliff mountain where this stockade is located, there will always be crucian carp climbing up the cliff from the bottom of the mountain.

"Mountain crucian carp likes to go up the mountain to eat the fruit of palm trees. There are many palm trees on our mountain, so there are often crucian carp going up the mountain to eat palm fruit."

Qin Lang brought the half-eaten grilled fish in front of him and looked at it carefully, and found that he could still see some lines, which seemed a bit like tilapia, a bit small in size, and a bit like perch.

But to be honest, the meat tastes really delicate, sweet, and has no earthy smell.

Unexpectedly, there are such amazing fish in the Lingnan Mountains. They are completely different fish from the Central Plains. They seem to be the same as these barbarians. After thousands of years of evolution, they have completely adapted to the life in this mountainous area. A unique way of life and personality.

Their chicken is also delicious.

Authentic pure free range chicken, or pheasant. It is completely free-range. It grows up eating insects and grass. The meat tastes a bit hard. Actually, this kind of chicken is not suitable for roasting. It can be wrapped in banana leaves and buried in the soil, and it can be stewed with charcoal fire. Let the aroma and sweetness of the chicken simmer out, or stew soup is still good.

If it is roasted directly, it will be slightly firewood, but it is still very sweet.

Before coming here, Qin Lang always felt that these barbarians were a group of poor people who were oppressed by the Han people to the mountains and lived a primitive life. But after I came here, I discovered that although the traffic is backward and the living conditions are not good, the spirit is actually quite rich and sufficient.

The wooden house is suspended in the air, with cattle and pigs kept at the bottom, and people living upstairs. The house is not too big, and everyone lives next to each other and helps each other. In front of the village is a terraced field, and in the valley below the mountain is a herd of cattle. Rice is grown in the terraced field, and rice flower fish are also raised.

Use kudzu and other weaving cloth to make clothes.

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

If it weren't for the occasional tribal conflicts, vendettas, or conflicts in the mountains and forests, or conflicts with the Han people outside the mountains, in fact, their lives are self-sufficient, which is very good.

They are traditional and conservative, but also free and happy.

Occasionally go down the mountain to trade with the Han people, trading cattle for salt and iron, leather for cloth, and herbs for women's jewelry.

These big chunks of meat-eating, loud-talking, free-spirited mountain folk fell to the ground and fell asleep after eating too much wine, while the people next to them continued to drink.

fine.

The world outside the mountain is actually not so pure.

When a person has not filled his stomach, all his thoughts are just how to fill his stomach. Once he is full, his thoughts will be more.

These mountain people do not need tables, chairs, bowls and dishes to eat, and do not even need to sleep in a bed. A piece of leather is laid on the floor of the wooden house, and the whole family can sleep.

It's hard to imagine that not long ago, it was this group of people who ran down the mountain, captured Linyuan and Xiangyuan counties, captured Yanguan, and killed many people.

They are not rich, but they are extremely enthusiastic and generous during weddings and funerals, killing cattle and pigs at every turn. In fact, if they can drive the pigs and cattle to the mountains to sell, they can sell them for a lot of money and exchange them for a lot of cloth and salt. Tea, etc., but no matter how poor you are, when you encounter errands, you should kill or kill.

This is them.

A group of people with their own living habits and even their own beliefs.

Qin Lang felt very fortunate that he didn't think about relying on force to kill these people, but he stopped in time. Thinking about it now, Qin Lang might not be the winner if the fight really goes on.

Just like the barbarian stronghold of thousands of households in this cliff village, if he really wants to hold on, how much money and food will he have to spend to take it down?

But now, this cliff village has become the county seat of Yuecheng County, a county seat on a cliff.

The two hundred mountains are quite strong, and they patrol the mountain roads in batches. The market at the foot of the mountain opens every five days, and it becomes more and more lively.

From the original confrontation and separation to the cooperation between the two sides, Qin Lang felt that he was on the right path.

There are many good things in the mountains.

For example, the cattle they raised, the chickens and ducks, even the crucian carp, and the cinnamon and fragrant leaves here are all good things.

Not to mention the big gold mine in the back mountain.

Be full of wine and meat.

Qin Lang started talking about cooperation with Da Hei Niu and the elders in the village.

Qin Lang felt overwhelmed.

Tuo Tuo meat is delicious, and Guoshan crucian carp is even more delicious.

After a full stomach, it feels like the meat is coming from the throat.

The terms of cooperation offered by Qin Lang are very sincere, and they are not just bullying like those Han businessmen in the past.

The price offered by each mountain product is good, and Qin Lang is also willing to provide these mountain people with the goods they want, and the price is very fair.

As for the gold mine, after the last detailed discussion, Qin Lang didn't ask for more members, and the two sides added 21 to 50, 50 to 50.

After staying in the village for three days, Qin Lang returned to Guilin.

And for these three days, the cottage was as lively as the Chinese New Year. Every day, Dahei Niu slaughtered one hundred cows, two hundred pigs, and thousands of chickens and ducks. The whole village ate and drank together. Wake up and eat again.

Qin Lang was a little frightened by the appearance of this kind of mission. After staying for three days, he really couldn't stay any longer.

The savages were too hospitable. Although they could not handle the wine Qin Lang brought, they could drink it like water. They were drunk anyway.

As for the meat, after eating it for three days, his throat was always oily, and Qin Lang was a little tired.

So farewell.

One night before he left, the night of the full moon coincided with the fifteenth day. So another bonfire party was held in the village, with bronze drums and ox horns playing non-stop. In front of piles of fires, young barbarian girls wore silver ornaments and brocade, dancing and singing.

The girls are passionate and bold.

Many girls came to sing in front of Qin Lang, and many girls stepped on him.

The big black cow told him that in their barbarians, as long as unmarried men and women would participate in such a bonfire party on nights when there was a moon on the 15th day, they would sing, dance and eat barbecue.

Girls fall in love with a young man they like, and they will come to him to sing a song and stomp on him. If the young man also likes a girl, he will sing the song and hold the girl's hand.

In the evening, girls and boys can go to roll the grass together, and the sky will be the quilt and the ground will be the bed.

Qin Lang really didn't expect them to be so free and unrestrained, but think about the fact that Kong Shengren was born when his father eloped with his mother.

It's normal that the mountain people don't have so many rules.

But so many girls are in love with Qin Lang, and they all came to offer songs, you kicked each other, if it wasn't for the lightness of the step, Qin Lang's feet would have to be broken.

Good moon, good wine and good girl.

Qin Lang couldn't let go at first.

But then Da Hei Niu said, if you refuse like this, not only our girls will lose face, but our entire tribe will lose face. You are our most honored guests, so we will entertain you with the most beautiful girls in the village. How can you not look down on any of them.

Qin Lang said that he had a fiancée and a concubine, but Da Hei Niu also said that it didn't matter.

According to their tradition, Qin Lang and the others are distinguished guests, so as long as the girls are voluntary, Qin Lang can spend the spring night with them, and he doesn't have to take any responsibility afterwards. Even if the girl becomes pregnant after he leaves, not only will this girl not be looked down upon by others, but her status will be greatly increased, and even many brave boys will be eager to pursue her first.

Everyone will rush to become a father, and the child will not be discriminated against after it is born.

Qin Lang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a lot of questioning, he found out that the barbarians lived in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation and limited foreign exchanges. In the past, the conditions were difficult, survival was difficult, and the population wasted. Whether it is grazing or conflicts and wars between tribes, it all depends on the men.

So gradually, the mountain barbarians have such a tradition that if there are guests from other races, they will arrange young girls to entertain them, and if they can conceive a child, they will cherish it very much.

There will even be many guys vying to marry such a pregnant girl.

It is said that such a custom is not only common among the Wuling barbarians, but also very common among the scumbags, and even among the Qiangdi tribes in the northwest, there are many such customs circulating.

Qin Lang is young, dignified, and handsome, so of course he is loved by the girls in the village.

In the middle of the night, Qin Lang, who was seven or eight times drunk, finally went back to the wooden house hugging left and right.

Even the wretched Ah Huang went upstairs with a young dark-skinned girl in his arms, and the other followers of the army basically all returned with their arms around the girl laughing.

After one night.

Qin Lang woke up in the warm and fragrant soft jade, sat there, dazed for a while, looking at the two young girls, it took him a long time to remember what was going on.

After drinking too much wine, he still became lustful after all, and couldn't control himself.

But when he moved his eyes to the girl again, Qin Lang couldn't help but wry smile twice with that water snake-like waist, slender white legs, and jet-black hair. Who could hold back in such a situation.

What a man is.

Besides, this is also a tradition in the village, so you have to respect it, and you have to do as the Romans do.

Qin Lang thought shamelessly, the girl woke up, and entangled her again like a snake.

"Well, the sky is bright, isn't this bad?"

"Hmm, hiss!~"

"What were the girls' names?"

"Oh!~"
