President's Legendary Master

In Central Shu and Xifan, there is a county town originally called Gesa Town, which is said to be the hometown of King Gesar.

There are not many people there, but the composition is very complicated. There are Han, Tibetan, Mongolian, Nepalese, Uyghur, etc. It is a multi-ethnic town.

The town is very clean, basically all are locals, each ethnic group has their own living habits, and after being together for such a long time, they all blend well.

After it was liberated, because of its special geographical location and the mixed inhabitation of multiple ethnic groups, it was divided into Gesa County, and then the villages naturally formed by each ethnic group were called villages.

For example, the area where Tibetans live is called a Tibetan village.

The area where the Uyghurs live is called the Uyghur Village.

Named after the ethnic group, the village where the Han people live is called Han Village, which means the village of the Han people.

However, many people call this place the Long March Village, because half of their ancestors were the wounded and some old and weak descendants who fell during the Long March. The county even clearly divides the natural villages of each ethnic group, thanks to the help of these people. In addition, most of these people are civil servants working in the county.

Of course, in recent years, there has been a mountain climbing craze. This is the last stop of Tibet. Since the opening of roads and railways in the county, several mountaineering equipment stores have been opened. Many extreme sports enthusiasts come here to concentrate , training, purchasing equipment, and there are two very large hotels in the county to receive visitors.

Dugu Haoyan and his group came here and stayed in a hotel that night. There are also a lot of local delicacies, and because the local population is small and the environment is good, they come here to make glutinous rice cakes from the wheat fields at the foot of the snow-capped mountains; highland barley bread ;Snow goat meat…….

It was a feast for everyone.

Especially Qiu Chunshan, who took a bite of braised yak meat: "This taste...?"

"Familiar?" Daomiao asked him, "Have you eaten it before?"

"The taste is very familiar, but... it's a bit heavy, and this beef taste is a bit heavy." Qiu Chunshan himself was still a little confused: "This, it doesn't feel right."

"Isn't the taste right?" Daomiao took a bite: "It's delicious, isn't it?"

"It's delicious, but the taste is a bit strong." Qiu Chunshan didn't know what was wrong with him. His sense of taste was fine, and he still had some confidence in it, but it was different.

The two scratched their heads. At this time, there was no clue, so they had to write down this matter.

After dinner, they went outside for a walk. The temperature here is warmer than that in the Northeast, but at the same time, because it is close to the snow-capped mountains, the temperature drops sharply at night, so people here usually change their clothes twice a day. clothing.

One is thin, one is thick.

It was cold at night, but the temperature was just right during the day.

Moreover, most of the people here go to bed early and get up early, and live a life of daily work and rest after sunrise. When foreigners come, they feel a little uncomfortable.

But this county is very quiet, close to the edge of the county, in the dead of night, you can even hear the howling of wolves in the snow-capped mountains.

There are several shops selling special products on the side of the road. The special products are some bone carvings, handicrafts carved out of the bones of large animals.

Ox horns, handcrafted sheep's head or something, Dao Miao took a fancy to a handcrafted ox head, it was very beautifully made, and there was a thin layer of paste on the horns, so Dugu Haoyan bought it for him, packed it and put it in the in the trunk.

Others also bought some small souvenirs.

Then I went back to the hotel to rest and recharge my batteries. I got up early the next morning and had breakfast, and went out to buy some local cheese and dried morels.

Mrs. Qiu also bought some Tibetan silver jewelry: "Even if you don't wear it, it looks good in the jewelry box. I like this armband."

In fact, unless this kind of thing is matched with the same clothes, it will be beautiful to wear, otherwise it will be too ugly to wear.

(It means ugly, outdated or mismatched, ugly)

"Let's go now. I think it will take a day's drive to get there." Old Master Chen said, "The road is in good condition, but we have to drive slowly because it's near the foot of the snow-capped mountains. I'm afraid that our old and young It’s my first time here, right? In case of altitude sickness, it’s better to prepare early.”

"Okay, we listen to you."

A group of people with two cars drove on the road one after the other. There were not many cars around. The road was very secluded. They also saw a herd of cattle and sheep, as well as a few Tibetan foxes running past.

"Is it a vixen?" Dugu Feiyan's brain was wide open: "Didn't you say that they are all white foxes? This Tibetan fox looks so embarrassing!"

"Thousands of years black, ten thousand years white, if you want to become a vixen, first you have to lose color and become a pure color, and second, you have to live long enough. The longer a vixen grows, the more beautiful it becomes, not the uglier it becomes." Dao Miao laughed. : "Tibetan foxes are more about Buddhist cultivation than Taoist cultivation. They are the area of ​​Tibetan Buddhism, and many animals have Buddha nature."

"There are many legends here that the Living Buddha can still be reincarnated."

Along the way, the group chatted nonchalantly for a long time. There was an on-board movie theater in the car, and they watched two comedy movies. The laughter made the three members of the Qiu family feel less nervous.

Soon, they were in place.

"This is... the Han surnamed village, oh, the locals call it Changzheng Village." Old Master Chen said: "There are less than a hundred households here, with a population of less than 500 people, a small population, fewer children, and many ethnic groups here. , so unified established a multi-ethnic comprehensive primary school and junior high school in the county, which not only have teachers who teach Chinese, but also minority teachers who teach various languages ​​of various ethnic groups.”

It is indeed a small village with less than [-] households, and because the roads have been opened here, the houses are not bad, many of them are newly built, and there are B&Bs for tourists.

It's just that few people come here, and the business of those homestays is dispensable.

Anyway, they don't rely on the income from the homestay to make ends meet.

The homestead in the village does not need to pay property management fees, nor does it need to pay heating fees. The income in the fields is small, but it is enough to maintain life. With some land subsidies, life is still very leisurely.

"Find a homestay and stay first." Dugu Haoyan looked at the surrounding situation. There are fewer people, but it doesn't mean there are fewer troubles. They have to be more careful when they come to "tour".

"There is a newly opened homestay in front of them. Their house was newly renovated last year. It is in the best condition and the place is big. We can all live there." Before coming, Mr. Chen called several people. After calling and learning about the situation here, I brought someone over with confidence.

"Okay!" Dugu Haoyan nodded: "Also, when asking the people there to cook, it should be lighter."

Pork is not very popular in this place, but beef and mutton are popular, and the food is heavy, and green vegetables are rare. For this reason, when they came, they bought half a carload of durable vegetables.

There are also some long-lasting fruits, but I didn’t bring the milk. There will be no shortage of dairy products here. The milk is freshly squeezed, so fresh ones are unnecessary.

The homestay they found was run by a local. The owner's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Xingda.

There is an old mother in the family. The old lady has been cooking for a lifetime, and her craftsmanship is quite good.

My daughter-in-law is an elementary school teacher, a Chinese teacher, and she works in the county. She comes back every Friday night. She has to go to class on Monday and needs to get up early. She usually goes back to the classroom and dormitory of the school in the county on Sunday night.

The two children in the family are both in elementary school and follow their mother.

Wang Xingda takes care of the family at home, runs a homestay, farms and raises cattle and sheep.

Originally, I opened a homestay because I wanted to recycle waste. I built a bigger house so that it would be convenient for my son to get married when he grows up. Also, the two children are about to grow up every year, so they should sleep in separate rooms.

After opening, it has only received three or five guests, all of whom are backpackers who come to travel, or people who come in one or two.

This time it was good, two cars parked in front of the house, and seven or eight people got off.

This group of people not only wanted to stay, but also brought their own vegetables and fruits. Fortunately, the family had two cows because of their children, and they also wanted fresh milk.

"We contracted your homestay, how much is it for a day?" Dugu Haoyan directly booked this home with a lot of money. Anyway, it looks like this home is very clean, very newly decorated, with many rooms, even the bedding is new , no one has ever used it, but this time they were all carried out. The old lady looked cheerful, and she looked like a kind old man.

The most important thing is that the toilets here are the same as the hotels in the county, instead of digging a latrine on the spot, in that case, he will definitely not stay!

"There are so many of you, why don't you just give... 300 yuan a day?" He carefully quoted a price that he thought was expensive.

For seven or eight people, the accommodation fee of 300 yuan a day is really not much.

They are in the hotel in the county, and this is the number for a room.

"500 yuan a day, including three meals a day, and we still have some vegetables and fruits, please help to cook or wash them." Dugu Haoyan directly scanned the code: "I will pay you for three days first, and in addition, We need fresh milk."

"We have free milk!" Wang Xingda was immediately delighted: "Freshly squeezed and pasteurized, we guarantee that you can drink it every day."

It's just milk, which is the most important thing in their family. The two cows in the family produce milk, which is enough for the family to digest, and the surplus can be sold to the milk station.

In addition, because the children in the family also drink milk, there is a ready-made small household pasteurization machine at home.

The milk station also likes to accept milk from such people because it is safe.

For the milk that is given to the children in the family, the cows eat good ingredients, they are never fed feed, and they dare not add any messy things to the milk.

A group of people happily checked into this "Wang's B&B".

The village is small, and they brought two cars. Fortunately, the courtyard of the Wang's B&B is big enough to park them all, and there is plenty to spare.

However, a group of tourists came to Lao Wang's house, and many people knew about the fact that they booked the homestay.

There are more than one B&B in the village, but no one is as big as Lao Wang’s, with many rooms and so many people, it’s very reasonable to go to their home.

The fee of 500 yuan a day also makes many people jealous, but everyone is from the same village. Knowing that their family has spent all these years on this homestay, they even specially set up a private sewer, which is exactly the same as Like a hotel in the county seat.

They checked in in the afternoon, and at night they were able to get settled, and a table of meals was served.
