Big Islander 2

Chapter 562 Soft Egg
This is a small oasis, with desolate sand and rocks on the edge, but there are already some date palm trees growing tenaciously, and there are also tents of thorns. Tang Jide even saw that they were still blooming with small yellow flowers , swaying in the wind and sand.

Going forward, the vegetation on the ground gradually increased. The so-called oasis is not full of green grass, but the vegetation is more than that in the desert.You can also see groups of cattle, sheep and camels, which are the greatest wealth of the Berbers. If there is no more oasis, no more cattle and sheep, the Berbers will disappear with them——

However, they are as tenacious as the plants in the desert, they plunged deeply into the sea of ​​sand, and then worked hard to yearn for the light.

For such a tenacious tribe, Brother Big Tou has always been very respectful, so he always nodded and smiled when he saw Du Qizi chatting enthusiastically with the tribe.

"House, why didn't I see a house? Don't you Berbers also live in tents?" Mr. Pheasant was very disappointed. He had already entered the village, but he didn't see a house. He wanted to sleep in the house. I feel good.

Even the big brother was a little puzzled: Since he settled in the oasis, he doesn't need to live in a yurt like a nomad?
"Dear Tang, my home is here." Du Qizi pointed to a big pit in front of him, and introduced Tang Jide warmly and happily.

Brother Datou couldn't help scratching the back of his head, and then probed into the pit. It was about six or seven meters deep and had a radius of tens of square meters. You could see several circular arches dug out at the bottom of the pit. There is a seven or eight-year-old doll, who is smiling at him with his face upturned.

Is this an underground cave dwelling? Brother Datou finally understood a little bit, and looked around, there were pits not far away, which must be the houses of the villagers.You have to be careful with this thing when walking at night, or you might fall into a pit and stop by someone else's house.

"Wow, I haven't lived underground yet. I don't know if I have the feeling of living in a tomb!" The pheasant was a little out of tune, and flew down with its wings flapping, but unexpectedly ran from the entrance of a cave. A tabby cat came out and almost scratched the pheasant.

Big Star is also flexible, jumps directly, lands firmly, then takes out some food from his pocket, throws a piece to the tabby cat, and gives the rest to the little boy. Comrade Vasily is smarter and knows how to use food clear the way.

For the grilled fish fillet in front of me, the cat is very good, not to mention the little doll, it tastes even better.As a result, the cat ate its share, and rubbed its fluffy tail on the child's leg, meowing, but it didn't help. The little doll just held his fish fillet high.

Another woman in a long robe walked out of the room. Seeing Du Qizi, she greeted her affectionately. She was probably his wife. She still looked very young, and her skin was fair. It seemed that wearing a long robe and a headscarf was a good idea. Functional.

Although the two grotesques have all gone down, the professor and Mr. Bei have some troubles. They really dare not jump at such a high height.In the end, it was Duqizi who made a demonstration, climbing along a rope to the cave below, and everyone climbed down one by one.When it was Professor Hawass' turn, he slipped out and almost fell to the bottom.

Looking up, the professor couldn't help sighing: "It's easy to come down, but it's hard to go up again!" Given his age and physique, it was a bit difficult for him to climb up the rope.

However, there is no way around this. Living in the desert, the wind blows sand all day long, and living in underground caves can prevent sandstorms and extreme heat well. This is also the way of life that the Berbers have concluded based on the actual situation. , has lasted for hundreds of years.

When I reached the bottom of the pit, I didn't feel damp at all, and it was still relatively dry.In fact, it's hard to find a wet spot here.The little boy was Duqizi's youngest son, who hugged his thigh vigorously, and then looked at the group of strangers timidly; the hostess was very hospitable and hospitable.

When I arrived at the cave door, I saw a hand engraved on it and two fish underneath.According to Duqizi, the Berbers believe that hands can bring peace, while fish are a symbol of auspiciousness.The pheasant also looked at it and nodded: "I know this, it's more than every year."

Entering the house, there is no sense of oppression in the cave, but it gives people a very spacious and cool feeling, and it is not dark.The floor is covered with hand-woven rugs and some pottery.After taking off their shoes, they sit on the floor and the hostess serves tea.Tang Jide took a sip, and felt a coolness flowing down his throat and penetrating his lungs. The dry and hot air outside was immediately relieved, he smacked his lips, and there was an aftertaste of mint.

While drinking tea, Du Qizi's youngest son got acquainted with Da Xing, and began to grope for the good things in Da Xing's pocket; Feast.

While they were making a fuss, they heard someone calling Duqizi’s name outside. When they went out of the house, they had a look. There were heads around the big pit on the top. When they saw Duqizi, they immediately yelled in Berber. for a while.

The smile on Du Qizi's face became brighter and brighter, and he turned to Tang Jide and said, "Dear Tang, my people saw that green corridor, and I told them that it was your masterpiece, so everyone came to welcome you." !"

"You're welcome--" Brother Datou smiled and waved upwards. In fact, he didn't build a green corridor specifically for Berber talents, but this is Duqizi's hometown, so he just passed by.

It was very inconvenient to communicate up and down like this, and Duqizi said that the tribe had already started to prepare the highest standard banquet to welcome the most distinguished guests, so everyone climbed up the rope again.It's easy for others to say that poor Professor Hawass was dragged up with a rope, but he was ridiculed by the pheasant and said a lot of stupid words.

Dozens of people in the village gathered together, old and young, men and women, it was very lively.The standard for entertaining guests is indeed quite high, killing a sheep, a cow, and a camel.

When the pheasant looked at it, it suddenly came to a whim: "Let's eat like this later, the outside is a roasted camel, open the camel's belly, and inside is a roasted cow, then open the cow's belly, and inside is a roasted lamb—"

Professor Hawass took over the words: "That happens to roast you too, and then stuff it in the belly of the sheep!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Pheasant was not angry, but tilted his head to think: "Then what should I put in my stomach?"

Just as he was talking, he saw Duqizi holding a clay plate with two round objects on it, about the size of a ping-pong ball.The pheasant immediately rejoiced: "Okay, okay, just put these two eggs into my stomach!"

"This is for the most honored guests. It's none of your business." Du Qizi went away with a plate, and came back soon. The two balls were roasted black, and then asked Tang Jide to taste them.

What kind of thing is this—Big Brother is also a foodie, of course you are welcome, anyway, Du Qizi will not harm him, so he took it and forked one, biting down and probably pulling it down.I just felt that the stuff was soft and had a strange smell. The more I chewed, the more uncomfortable I felt, and finally I vomited.

"I'm sorry, I'm really not used to it—" Brother Datou apologized again and again. It's really impolite to offer you the most delicious food, but you vomited it. At the end, he asked again, "What kind of delicious food is this?" Ah, it's a pity I didn't take it orally?"

"I look a bit like soft-skinned eggs, like Mr. Professor's soft eggs." The pheasant came up again to pretend to be an expert.

Seeing that Tang Jide couldn't eat any more, Du Qizi stuffed the remaining soft egg into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and said, "This is the sheep's egg."

Everyone has never heard of sheep laying eggs, but after thinking about it for a while, Brother Datou thought of a possibility, so he vomited again.Soon, other people also figured out that the so-called sheep's eggs are the testicles of sheep. In the concept of Berbers, this stuff is the most ideal food for men, and it can strengthen the yang after eating.

The pheasant quacked and laughed: "It's not necessarily strong~yang, but it will definitely turn into a soft egg after eating. You see, the big head is even a little shaking in the aisle now."

After a while, Brother Big Tou finally came to his senses. Although he did not shy away from eating, he was still inferior to the Berbers.

At this time, another clansman came over with a pottery plate filled with white food for everyone to taste.With the lessons learned just now, everyone decided that it is better to eat after asking.Facts have proved that this step is absolutely correct. This thing turned out to be the fat in the hump, and it was eaten raw without any processing.In Berber tradition, this is the supreme delicacy.

Looking at the white and greasy things on the plate, which seemed to still have the body temperature of a camel that had just been slaughtered, Brother Big Tou couldn't help retching, unable to speak, just shaking his hands there again and again.

No one else dared to try it, but Mr. Pheasant said carelessly: "Xiao Bei, you claim to be the man standing at the top of the food chain, so you can represent it."

Master Bei stabilized his mind, thinking that he had eaten a lot of food raw, and some of them were white bugs, so he gritted his teeth, ruthlessly, grabbed a piece of hump and stuffed it into his mouth.After chewing it twice, it felt soft and greasy, making it difficult to swallow.Coupled with the fact that Brother Big Tou kept throwing up at the side to seduce him, Master Bei covered his mouth and threw up on the side as well.

Even the men standing at the top of the food chain can't resist, it can only be said that the power of Berber food is too great.Seeing that these outsiders really couldn't eat it, Du Qizi had no choice but to share the delicious food with the tribe.

It wasn't until the roast mutton and camel meat came that everyone sat around and ate.In fact, the hump hump tastes extraordinarily delicious after being roasted. Brother Datou liked it immediately after he tasted it, but Mr. Pei was so stimulated that he dared not touch it anymore.Not even greasy, just sitting around eating toast.Not to mention, this kind of bread is made of barley, very chewy, as tenacious as the people in the desert.

After Tang Jide ate a piece of toast dipped in olive oil, he also had to sigh: "What kind of people eat what kind of food!"

The pheasant is best at making the profound problems simple. It quacked twice: "You just say that wolves eat meat and dogs eat shit—"

In the end, Tang Jide kicked him back to Du Qizi's house. He said it was so disgusting while he was having dinner, why did he want to make people vomit?
