Chapter 1084: Enthusiastic Herdsman
When Li Shanhe led the soldiers in the platoon to the nomadic brigade, the nomadic brigade suddenly became lively. A large number of enthusiastic and bold Mongolian herdsmen rushed out, enthusiastically holding the hands of the fighters and pulling them into the yurts one by one.
Because of the frequent "white plagues" on the grasslands, the Far Eastern Company also changed the original habit of wintering with nomadic squadrons as units, and changed to the way of gathering together with nomadic brigades to winterize together.
In this way, even if the grassland encounters a white disaster that has not been encountered in a century, the original nomadic squadron will no longer have a shortage of manpower when it is in disaster relief.
Nowadays, the various grassroots nomadic detachments in the northern grasslands are united in brigades for wintering during the wintering period. Therefore, every winter, the herdsmen's wintering grounds on the grassland become very lively.
Li Shanhe was dragged into his yurt by the captain and gave him a warm welcome. Since the low-level herdsmen on the steppe followed the Far East Company, the materials on the steppe were relatively abundant.
Staple and sideline foods such as tea, flour, salt, sugar, spices, and spirits, as well as daily necessities such as pots and pans, scissors, kitchen knives, water tanks, jars, and other daily necessities have entered the homes of ordinary herdsmen.
Nowadays, when I go to the herdsmen's homes in the northern grasslands, the first thing I bring is not mutton and wine, but a bowl of strong milk tea, and there are "milk tofu", "milk skin", "butter" and "milk residue" next to it.
As long as there is a grassroots nomadic detachment in the Far East on the grassland, you will definitely be able to smell the rich fragrance of milk tea. At every meal, the herdsmen first come up with a bowl of hot milk tea, which is taken from natural and integrated with wisdom, with a unique and heart-warming style.
The nomadic life of the herdsmen is very hard, hungry and thirsty all the way, and a cup of high-calorie and high-nutrient dairy products is the best physical supplement food. Especially now that it's winter on the grasslands. Drink two bowls of milk tea. It can last most of the day, and it is resistant to cold and hunger.
Mongolian herdsmen live on the steppe, eat animal meat and drink animal milk, and are well-deserved "milk experts". Every Mongolian woman in the steppe is an expert at making dairy products.
Each yurt has a large iron pot on the outside, and below it is dried cow dung that has been stored for the winter. Putting it under the iron pot is the best fuel on the grassland.
Fresh milk is poured into an iron pot and heated continuously, and this milk is milked from the cows to be extremely fresh. When the milk is boiled out of layers, the upper layer is yellow oil and water, and the bottom is the crumbs like okara.
While boiling milk, Mongolian women scoop up the floating butter and dregs from the surface onto a nearby jar and drain the fat through a simple strainer. The remaining cheese is still poured back into the pan and continues to stir-fry.
The beans at the bottom of the pot are like slag, and after continuous frying, they gradually solidify into a ball. Now I use a square mold specially made for milk beans. Put the fried milk beans in and compact. This is a packed milk bean payment, made with more than half a bucket of fresh milk, and the purity is very high.
In fact, milk bean payment is the traditional method of storing excess fresh milk on the grassland, whether it is this kind of soggy milk bean payment just out of the pot, or dry milk bean payment that has almost no water and is as hard as a brick, the nutrition is very high! The essence of milk is not wasted at all!
There is also honeycomb-shaped milk skin, which is the most expensive food on the grassland. Because it uses a lot of milk to make it, it has a reputation as the gold of milk. Generally, only distinguished guests come to visit. Or during festivals, it will be taken out and eaten.
Li Shanhe drank two bowls of hot milk tea, and his body, which was already frozen, instantly warmed up a lot. He ate some dairy products again, and the family of the leader of the nomadic brigade also brought freshly boiled hand-cooked lamb. A steaming cauldron makes people look at it and have a great appetite.
After patrolling the snow-covered grassland for several days, Li Shanhe was already exhausted, and he had long been tired of eating compressed biscuits, dried meat, and dried vegetables every day.
Now I saw a big pot of hand-handled mutton, and I couldn't wait to take a large piece and eat it while it was hot. Anyway, the higher leadership has already given the order. When they arrive at the herdsmen's homes, they can eat as much as they can, and the more they eat, the happier they will be, and they must not pretend to be pretending, because this will arouse the resentment of the grassland herdsmen and affect the military and civilian conditions of the troops and local herdsmen.
In winter, the grassland temperature is extremely low, and it is accompanied by heavy snowstorms, so "milk" and "meat" are indispensable for every meal, and such high-calorie foods are indispensable.
In the past, only the nobles of the tribe on the grassland could enjoy such treatment. But now the northern steppes controlled by the Far East, at least in terms of food, even ordinary herdsmen's families can enjoy the same level as nobles.
Why did countless Mongolian herdsmen in the steppe support the Far East Company so much, and why did hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry drive the Far East willingly, and fought bravely and without fear of sacrifice.
In the final analysis, it is because the Far Eastern Company has allowed them to live a good life, and now that the Far Eastern Company has given an order, countless Mongolian herdsmen will willingly shed their blood for the Far Eastern Company.
After eating and drinking enough, Li Shanhe and the soldiers of the whole platoon were not polite, and fell asleep directly in the herdsmen's yurt. The equipment and materials of the troops will be properly placed here, and there is no need for the soldiers to worry about it at all.
When the officers and men of the troops stationed in the area come to the herdsmen's homes, you should treat them as your own, and the more this happens, the more down-to-earth and happy the herdsmen on the grassland become.
These officers and soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were the ones who came from far away to help them in disaster relief during the snow disaster, so the herdsmen were kind to the soldiers.
This sleep lasted until the afternoon, and Li Shanhe and the soldiers woke up one after another. Although the warriors did not treat themselves as outsiders when they ate, drank and slept in the herdsmen's homes, the only thing that made them feel helpless was the enthusiasm of the many Mongolian women in the steppe.
Whenever the officers and soldiers of the Far Eastern Army came to their yurts, many Mongolian women from the steppe, whether they were big girls or little daughters-in-law, were all dressed up in fancy clothes, dressed in national costumes, and personally served these distinguished guests.
Most of the soldiers of the newly built cavalry division of the Far Eastern Army in the West Field are the children of the Han family who are well-behaved, how can they stand this. All of them were seventeen or eighteen-year-old offspring, surrounded by a group of Mongolian girls and daughters-in-law, and their faces were red and red.
Especially some bold Mongolian women, from time to time, they also use the two choppy headlights on their chests to constantly rub against the bodies of these little virgin men, making a bunch of little fresh meat so that they can't lift their heads.
No, although the heads above are lowered, the heads below are raised...... (To be continued.) )
PS: I recommend a friend's new book, the book is called "Nine Kills of the Remnant Sword", the tea head read it, it feels good, I hope everyone will take a look
