Dress to be a celebrity

Mr. Song came prepared, bringing a team of large carts with hollow rubber wheels.The interior of the car is covered with Mongolian carpets brought from Liangcheng, with a small air window on the top, through which the chimneys of tin chimneys protrude, and a new briquette stove is connected underneath. The windows are ventilated, making the mission car warmer and more comfortable than they are.

In order not to appreciate his kindness, everyone dismounted from their horses, dismounted from their cars, and changed into their official cars, and walked onto the gravel-paved asphalt road between the salt fields.

The car bumped slightly with the horseshoes, but the people sitting on it didn't feel much vibration, and even the sound of the wheels rolling was very small, but the colorful enamel bell outside the car was blown by the wind and the car. The vibration brought up a series of unvoiced sounds.Hot water was cooking on the small coal stove in the car, and a board was embedded in the side car, and when lifted up, it was a small table across the front of the seat, where a pair of tea sets and refreshments could be placed.

There were boxes of sweet and salty pastries and candied dried fruits in the car. Mr. Song warmly entertained Prince Ye Sutieer and brewed a pot of authentic Hanzhong sweet milk tea for him.

Crush the pure black brick tea, boil it in a tin pot until it becomes a strong maroon color, pour it into a white porcelain teapot imitating Yuan blue and white, pour half a cup of evaporated milk into a white porcelain cup on the inner wall, pour over the tea, and finally pour Serve with a little caramel syrup.

Prince Yesutie'er sighed, "You Han people are very particular about making tea, and you pour milk and tea separately?"

Not particular, is pragmatic.

When he was in Fujian, he still brewed Gongfu tea. At that time, he used Yixing purple sand teapot. When making tea, he never poured milk into the pot or cup. He always used tea soup to moisten the body of the pot. The thicker the better.But this porcelain cup is snow white, how ugly is it to leave circles of tea stains in it?

There is milk as the base, and then the tea is poured, and there will be no dirty tea circle after drinking the tea.

Do you have to fully demonstrate the beauty of Dazheng's material and spiritual civilization in front of the prince?

He held the handle of the teacup and smiled slightly: "The prince used to eat milk tea from his family, but now he often tastes the taste of our Central Plains. My milk tea is also based on the recipe of Mongolian milk tea, modified according to the taste of the Central Plains. It's not that Song is boasting, this improvement The taste of the milk tea that has been processed has not lost the effect of quenching thirst and nourishing the body, and it tastes sweeter and more mellow."

Ye Sutie'er took a sip from the teacup, and found it so sweet and thick that it was almost reluctant to swallow it.

Sugar is an extremely expensive thing these days, even for a son of King Khan like him, most of his daily milk tea is salty food, where has he ever tasted caramel milk tea?In the box next to the tea saucer are rice crackers made from highland barley, golden meat muffins, fake pineapple cakes made from wax gourd fluff, various kinds of sweets, candied fruit, and sweet and mellow milk tea, which is really amazing.

Prince Yesutie'er was bold and bold, even though he was in the land of Dazheng where they were forced to negotiate a peace with spears and cannons, he was not afraid that what they were offering was a Hongmen banquet.

Shunyi Hou Shizi and his brothers also ate and used dim sum happily, boasting as they ate: "The tea we ate when we were in the capital that day may not be better than these. Unexpectedly, Shaanxi is so rich that even the food for food at the border It’s better than the capital city. Thanks to Huan Yushi’s blessing, we have to eat and use these things Mr. Song carefully prepared.”

Mr. Huan said politely: "How could it be? Mr. Song is responsible for welcoming the special envoy of Tumo to Beijing for peace talks. Naturally, doing all this is to fulfill the emperor's order, so that the prince will know my Dazheng's goodwill. The glory of Prince Tie'er is also thanks to the blessings of all adults, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drink this milk tea today."

If it weren't for the presence of these prairie princes, Shi Guan'er must have prepared tea for him.This milk tea tastes outside the Great Wall, he doesn't like to drink it very much, and the family didn't make it before.

Song Shi nodded with a smile and replied: "Exactly, the lower officials are ordered to welcome the prince to Beijing to discuss peace, and must make the prince and the accompanying guests feel at home."

He said that being at home means being at home. He entertained the missions to stay at the post house in Fugu County, took a little rest during the day, and set up a bonfire outside the post house at night, and held a bonfire party with a prairie...tourist style.

The bonfire frame is built more than ten stories high, and there is also a firepit where fresh lambs, suckling pigs, chickens and geese are roasted.The cooks collected from various restaurants and restaurants in Fugu County were watching the heat of the barbecue by the fire pit, and the waiter from the wine shop brought a jar of shochu. .

Mr. Song was afraid that eating too much wine would be boring, so he asked people to select innocent musicians from different ethnic groups who were good at singing and dancing, and entertainers who were performing arts on the ground. When the bonfire party started in the evening, he asked those entertainers to dance around the fire to warm up the scene.

The Mongolian people have the custom of having a bonfire party. At this time, the long tune is played, and the sound of the horse head qin is rustling. Looking at the familiar and friendly dances by the fire, or the exotic dances, it immediately arouses the homesickness of the Tumo special mission and the princes of Shunyi. Feelings.

Now they really feel the Dazheng court's intention to negotiate peace - the court not only sent a top talent in the world to welcome them, but also arranged for them a bonfire meeting that can only be found on the grassland!

Prince Yesutie'er excitedly ordered people to bring horse milk wine from the posthouse, put aside prejudice, drank wine in front of the bonfire, danced with open arms, and ate mutton grilled over charcoal fire with a knife.

The flames and loud laughter seemed to turn this bluestone-paved square into their hometown on the prairie.

There were also many passers-by outside who wanted to come in to watch the excitement, but they were firmly blocked by a circle of fire alarm sergeants and water dragons arranged by Mr. Song. They could only spy on the singing, dancing and food inside through the water trucks.

Some clever hawkers came here with their burdens, put down tables, chairs and stoves, and sold food and drinks on the spot for those who watch the customs of the grassland to taste.

Although the fire police also chased them away, they didn't do much for the sake of the people of the city. They only told them not to make loud noises and disturb the messengers——

Those envoys came to discuss peace. If this is done, there will be no need for war in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.Not only did the people not have to pay any more taxes, but these recruits could also take their money back home to buy land, marry wives and have children.

Although the fire light was dazzling, it was still full of flames. It looked like a prosperous scene, and it lit up for half a day, which made people feel bright in their hearts when they looked at it.

Fire fighters and common people dozens of steps away are greedy to see this scene, who can not be fascinated by it?

Mr. Song looked at the Han and Mongolian people drinking, dancing, singing, and poetry in the field. No one noticed his small corner, so he quietly shook off his official robe, revealing his whole body. The newly made sky-blue brocade-patterned cotton robe avoids people and walks to Huan Ling's first seat.

Huan Ling was the leader of the mission, and he was seated with the Tatar prince. At this time, the prince also went to dance around the bonfire, and only the waiter was left on the seat.Song Shi had the cheek to act as if there was no one there, and stretched out a hand to him: "Master Huan can persuade Tumote Khan to bow his head to Dazheng and send his eldest son to discuss peace. This is to relieve the suffering of the people at the border. Great achievement in the annals of history. I have no respect for the lower officials, and I would like to invite the adult community to taste the customs of the grassland to congratulate this great achievement."

The characteristics of grassland tourism must be tried.

He poured a glass of sour and strong kumiss, and handed it to Huan Ling with one hand.After he picked it up, he put his left hand behind his back and bowed slightly with his right hand, showing a sly smile: "Your Excellency, I saw that Envoy Tumo and the princes of Shunyi all danced the dance of hometown. We are the hosts. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go with the host and the guests, and end up together?"

Huan Ling looked at his outstretched palm, raised his hand to touch it, stroked it lightly, and asked, "Master Song turned his palm towards me, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that you want me to give you something? Just I don't have anything long on me, and all my belongings are brought from Hanzhong, how can I use them as gifts?"

Hey, if you want a gift, you have to put your hand up.

"I don't have any other intentions, I just had a few more glasses of wine with Prince Yesu Tie'er after seeing my lord, and I was worried that my lord's feet would be unstable, so I just lent this hand to my lord."

He said that Huan Ling drank too much wine, and Huan Ling really became weak.Holding that hand, fingers slightly tightened, stood up following his strength, nodded and thanked: "The guests have already left the stage, it is really not good for us as hosts to sit empty on the sidelines. Then please ask Mr. Song to help me , and also taught me how to dance this foreign dance, lest I be rude in front of the guests."
