The host said: "Welcome to the Mongolian people. Since you have come to this vast prairie, we are family. Come! Cheers." We said: "Thank you, the grassland is so beautiful. What a wonderful thing it is to drink in this paradise on earth!"
"Grassland" is a prose written by the modern writer and poet Lao She. It has been selected into the first lesson of the second volume of the fifth grade textbook published by the People's Education Press and the first lesson of the sixth grade textbook published by the Ministry of Education. The article mainly depicts three vivid pictures: grassland scenery, welcoming distant guests and host-guest reunion.
Life habits of the grasslands
1. Diet
The traditional diet of the grassland people is relatively rough, with mutton, milk, wild vegetables and pasta as the main raw materials. The cooking method is relatively simple, with roasting being the most famous. We advocate fullness and authenticity and pay attention to the original taste of raw materials. Special delicacies include roasted leg of lamb, whole lamb mat, hand-caught mutton, cheese, kumiss, oatmeal noodles, Zishan smoked chicken, jerky, hada cake, Mongolian pie, honey hemp leaves, Dexingyuan Shaomai, etc.
2. The toasting culture of the grassland
The grassland people are exquisite in pouring wine and toasting guests. Wine is the precious food that can best express the loyalty of friends. The host pours the wine into a silver bowl or gold cup, puts it on the hada, sings a toast song to express his sincerity and feelings. At this time, the guest should immediately take the wine, drink it if he can, or taste a little if he can't, and then The wine must be returned to its owner and cannot be shunned.
