Due to its geographical location, there is a certain time difference between Z province and the capital. Darkness and dawn are about one or two hours later than in the capital. Therefore, it usually doesn’t get dark until 7 o’clock in the morning, and it doesn’t get dark until 10 o’clock in the evening.
In May, the sun rises at about seven o'clock in the morning. In winter, it does not arrive until eight or nine o'clock.
Although the daybreak is later than in the mainland, Leyun's body clock is regular. She wakes up at five o'clock on time, returns to the space to meditate, and takes care of the crops before leaving the space. It is still dark, so she has to lie down first. Wait.
The biological clocks of Mr. Yan and the brothers of the He family are also on time. They wake up from five to six o'clock. They all lie down for a while, then get up and run to the toilet at half past six, and then He Mingjun and the two Mingzhi brothers Make a fire and boil hot water.
The water has not yet boiled, so Dawa and his son and daughter-in-law got up one after another. Dawa went to the sutra hall to chant sutras, Quzhen Dolma was responsible for cooking, and Sangmu went to take care of the sheep and cows raised at home. Goat milk, cleaning, water and fodder.
Le Yun waited for the masters to get up before getting up. She ran to the toilet first, then went back to the second floor. She moved a bench and sat by the fire, watching with great interest He Xiaosan's aunt making breakfast. She liked Tibetan food best. Supplies, copper pots, silver pots, etc. are particularly unique.
In order to entertain the guests, the breakfast is very rich, which is also the most original Tibetan breakfast, including Tibetan buns, naan, cheese, tsampa, butter tea, offal of the sheep killed yesterday, blood sausage, and dried beef.
Everyone sat around and had breakfast, each with a wooden bowl in which to eat tsampa.
It was the first time to eat breakfast with ethnic characteristics. Le Yun learned from He Xiaoshi and mixed tsampa with butter tea, kneaded it into small dumplings and ate it. Needless to say, the taste was really good, sweet, fragrant, soft and crispy. A unique taste.
The little girl ate happily, stretching out her spring onion-like jade fingers to pinch tsampa happily, eating blood sausage and cheese. The bright smile on her face was like the sun on the snowy peak of the sacred mountain. Zhendolma and Sangmu were very happy to see it.
Yan Xing sat on the side where the male guests were sitting, looking at the pretty and cheerful little Lolita opposite. He was particularly surprised. The little Lolita seemed to be able to find fun wherever she went. Her ability to adapt was so strong. It can be described as "perverted".
He Mingsheng and He Mingtao have not eaten Tibetan food a few times, so they are not used to it. However, the grandma’s family warmly entertains them, and they must accept their kindness. They eat naan and Tibetan cheese, air-dried beef, and drink butter tea.
After breakfast, we took a rest and packed our bags to set up camp at the place where Cordyceps was dug. He Mingjun went to pick up the convoy on the road to take them to the camping place.
Many people in the village packed their bags and went to camp. Cini and Wangdui also carried their luggage and loaded the car. The sun was not seen until nine o'clock, and the people who had packed their bags set off.
Many of the villagers used yaks and camels to pull goods, and some used carts to pull goods. The procession was huge and spectacular.
Z Province is vast and sparsely populated. Some villages have an area of hundreds of miles. The Dawajia Village also has a lot of land, with a radius of almost 200 miles. The Cordyceps Area is about 20 miles away from the village. Road, first take a short section of asphalt road, then a natural dirt road, and then walk to the road in the natural pasture area, in the alpine meadows under several mountainsThis is where we camp every year.
The camping place was chosen very well. There is a river that meanders through the snow-capped mountains. The terrain is flat and cars can travel there. The place is wide enough, so you don’t have to worry about running out of room to camp.
Some families in the village had set up tents two days ago. Some tents were far apart, while others were relatively close.
When they arrived at the place, each family dispersed in the direction they liked.
The He family brothers followed Xiao Shiwu's uncles, stopped at a place they liked, loaded the car, and set up tents. The tents of brothers Cini and Wangdui were set up together.
The He family brothers had two tents, both of which were beautiful white felt tents. Yan Xing and his brothers set out to set up camp. He Xiaoshiwu saw the little beauty carrying a small backpack digging roots out of boredom. He was chewing grass roots and ran over to accompany her. After saying a few words, he quietly came closer and said, "Little loli, do you want to ride a yak?"
"You can ride a yak." Le Yun jumped up and down, her eyes full of stars.
"Okay, Uncle Cijie's yak is idle. If you want to ride it, we can go over and experience it." He Mingzhi pointed to a white-haired cow in the distance to show the little Lolita. The yak looked far away. Like a sheep with a saddle cloth on its back, the village chief came riding a yak.
“Let’s go.” Le Yun saw the yak’s eyes shining, spread her legs and rushed.
He Mingzhi said hello to the village chief uncle in Tibetan, and accompanied the little beauty to run towards the yak. The village chief's family was setting up a tent, and when he heard Dawa's grandson shouting, he responded with a smile, and many villagers also Hearing this, he looked at the little guest from afar with a smile.
He Xiaowu accompanied little Loli to the yak and grabbed its reins. Tibetan cattle never wear nose rings, so they can put on bridles and saddles to ride on animals. Riding, of course, refers to those who are tame. Anyone who is not tame may get hit by the horns or go flying.
He Xiaowu held the cow, and Leyun happily jumped to the side of the yak, patted the cow's shoulder, smiled, turned over and climbed onto the cow's back, sitting firmly, so happy that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. Eyes, the Le family also had cows before, and she could climb on their backs and sit on them. Later, because her grandfather passed away and no one took care of the cows, Grandpa Zhou Man bought the cow and raised it, and it still exists today.
The little beauty jumped lightly onto the back of the cow. He Mingzhi was a little dumbfounded. Her posture was so handsome and she was even more nimble than him. Could it be that the little beauty was the legendary know-it-all
Confirm that the little beauty Loli sat firmly, and he led the cow and walked slowly. The little girl on the cow's back smiled brightly. After walking for about a hundred meters, the little loli stopped, turned over and jumped off the cow's back.
"Little beauty, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He Mingzhi quickly let go of the reins and ran to the little Lolita to ask.
"No, the cow is tired and needs to rest." Le Yun patted the cow's head and jumped briskly on the meadow. In May, the plateau grassland is green and yellow, with dead grass and budding tender grass. Buds, desolation and vitality coexist, just like the environment and climate in Z province, they are contradictory and mutually inclusive.
"How does the little beauty know that she is tired?" He Mingzhi accompanied the little Loli to the camping place.
“I am a medical student, and people alsoWhether it is a good animal or not, there are signs of fatigue and illness. You can tell by looking, listening, and smelling them. ”
“Little beauty, is my grandma’s health index good?” He Mingzhi hesitated and asked in a low voice. The little beauty’s doctor didn’t say anything. He felt that his grandma’s health was not as good as before.
"She is worse than the eldest lady in your family, but not as good as the third old lady in your family. She has a peaceful mind, a broad heart and a fat body. In terms of her body, if nothing happens, there will be no danger in the next year and a half. ”
He Mingzhi frowned slightly. The little beauty meant that their grandmother’s health was not too optimistic, because she said one and a half years, not three to five years.
Because the great-grandmother’s health is still on the shoulders of little Loli, he can’t immediately ask little Loli to help grandma diagnose and treat her. After all, he is at grandma’s house now. It always feels very inappropriate to ask her for help now, so he decided After returning to Beijing, he would find time to talk to little Loli about her grandmother's health problem.
In order to prove that he was not an idler, He Xiaoliu helped his brothers move things and set up tents. When he saw Brother Fifteen. Playing with little Loli is called jealous, but he can only be jealous because he doesn't understand Tibetan.
Le Xiaoxiao jumped back to the camp to watch the handsome guys working in an orderly manner. < /p>
The tents were too big, so it took a lot of time to put them up. It took a few handsome guys dozens of minutes to put the two tents firmly on the ground, put tarps and soft mats inside, and then Carpets are laid out, and each tent is equipped with a stove for burning cow dung, as well as basins and stainless steel kettles for boiling water.
Two tents, one for the people who collect Cordyceps sinensis, live there. , the brothers of the He family stayed with the little Loli. They set up camp, brought a small amount of dried cow dung from the car, lit a fire to warm the tent, and waited for the arrival of another truck.
The villagers set up tents, and some people returned to the village to transport cow dung and other necessary items. The official Cordyceps digging day was the 16th. The previous few days were preparation time for the villagers to set up operations and transport items. As for those who had set up camps, they did not They would secretly go to the mountains to dig Cordyceps, because there were sacrificial activities before digging grass.
He Mingjun received a vehicle carrying supplies on the road and took him to the camp site, but they were two days late. It was almost noon when we arrived, and everyone was busy carrying supplies, including sleeping bags and personal luggage, as well as some cow dung and smokeless charcoal, mineral water in pure water barrels, and pots and pans for cooking. Basin supplies, as well as rice, vegetables, dry food and other items
It was lunch time after the items were sorted. Mr. and Mrs. Cini and Mr. and Mrs. Wangdui made lunch for the guests, and everyone enjoyed a Tibetan meal together. .
In the afternoon, He Mingjun and his eighth brother He Mingtao drove back to the village with their uncles to help move fuel. By mid-afternoon, a fuel company also delivered the dried cow dung fuel ordered by the He brothers to the village. They also helped carry the fire to the camp site before leaving.
In the afternoon, the villagers’ children returned to the village to live in the camp site, waiting to dig grass in the mountains tomorrow, including Dawa. grandchildren, Tsini has two boys and a girl, Wangdui has three boys and a girl, Pubu also has four children, and Basang only has a son and a daughter.
He Xiaosan and He Xiaoshiwu’s older cousins are adults and married, but He Xiaosan is older and still single. He Xiaoshiwu is still studying. That’s another matter. .
Two of Dawa’s grandchildren have joined the army, and two have graduated from college or junior college and returned to their hometown to work. The children who did not go to college have at least attended junior high school. It can be said that Dawa’s family is also very popular in the village. A respectable family.
The grandsons of the Dawa family who received state salaries did not come back to dig cordyceps. The children who worked outside sometimes came home to dig grass, but sometimes they did not necessarily come back. Sometimes they only dug for a few days.
The grandsons of the Dawa family are not divided into different families. They all live together. The younger generation also has children, the oldest is seven or eight years old, and the youngest is three or four years old. It is very lively. , the He brothers chatted and ate with their cousins.
Le Yun has a good memory, but when faced with so many names, many of which are very similar, she also feels dizzy. Fortunately, she has children. She plays with them, eats candies, and reads textbooks. By the way, he guided them in their homework and was honored to receive a look of admiration.
