Lu Ze and his group of four and two cars drove directly into HHHT, the capital of northern Seychelles Province. They went here to rest for a day, and then officially started their own self-driving journey in the grassland.

More importantly, you need to find a guide.

The current grassland tourism industry is not as developed as it will be more than ten years later. Many places are private pastures for herders. Intrusions can easily lead to conflicts. It is best to start with a familiar guide.

It’s not like more than ten years later, there are many people coming to travel outside, and the herdsmen are no longer surprised.

After entering the city and checking in a hotel that looked good, He Feng yelled: "Grill whole lamb, hurry up and eat roasted whole lamb."

"What kind of roasted whole lamb? I don't know where to find it if I want to eat it. After I have booked a guide, I will take us to eat authentic roasted whole lamb. Now let's try hand-stewed lamb first." Lu Ze said with a smile.

Zhang Wei looked puzzled: "Why? What is hand-stewed mutton?"

"Listen to me, you will know when you go." Lu Ze was too lazy to explain, and he would understand as soon as he ate.

I asked the hotel waiter about the place, and the four of them drove only one car and headed to a nearby mutton restaurant.

This little lamb restaurant is called Bayin Pastoral Lamb Restaurant. The storefront looks very inconspicuous. If the car was not driven slowly, I would have almost never seen it drive over.

As soon as I heard the name of the store, I knew that the mutton in the store was directly supplied by pastoral herdsmen.

In fact, with the convenience of grassland and location, how could a local mutton restaurant be used to prepare mutton in other places? The name of this mutton restaurant indicates that the quality of mutton in Baying Pastoral Area should be well-known in the local area.

When I walked into the store, the shop owner was a middle-aged rough man, and that big guy looked like he was more than 200 pounds.

"Welcome, I am Hu Deshan, the owner of this restaurant. Everyone calls me third brother. What do you guys want to eat? It's better to try our signature hand-stepping mutton?"

Lu Ze thought to himself, when he saw this guy's big round belly, he opened this mutton restaurant, probably for the convenience of eating meat by himself.

"Boss, just as you said, the four of us have a big appetite. If you go too far, just give me some other dishes." He Feng replied loudly.

Now he, Zhang Wei and Liu Chuan are not short of money. After buying the car, Lu Ze distributed them the dividends last year.

With a huge sum of money, he was very generous in ordering dishes. Not to mention eating some mutton, he would not blink even if he came to serve a few mutton. There was no way, Mr. He had already sent it, so he would not need to ask the price for the meal in the future.

The strong boss first served two plates of cold dishes for Lu Ze and the others, one slap cucumber and the other slathered with three shreds of cold dishes, and then went to prepare the mutton.

The most common way to eat mutton when eating Saibei is to stew the mutton. Unlike in Xijiang, they often use roasted or stir-fried cooking methods.

The so-called hand-stewing mutton uses the most primitive method. Put it in cold water and keep the water from boiling. It takes about 15 minutes to remove it.

During this period, no seasoning was added to the pot, which is the so-called boiled mutton in white water. Some people may worry whether the mutton will have too much smell, but it is not the case.

Because the sheep breeds on the grassland are different or because of cooking techniques, there will definitely not be a particularly heavy smell of mutton. Instead, there is a high-quality mutton with its own milky aroma.

The way to eat hand-stewed mutton varies from person to person. Some people like to eat this kind of boiled mutton without adding any seasonings; some people like to eat it after cutting the mutton, which is also the most authentic way to eat it in the ancients of Saibei.

After all, it would be nice for the nomadic people in ancient times to have a little salt. Apart from the nobles, ordinary people could not afford any spices.

In recent years, there have always been some outsiders to visit. In order to take care of the tastes of people in other places, the mutton restaurant has also prepared green ingredients made of vegetables, green onions, chives and garlic, as well as sesame paste, leek sauce and fermented tofu.

These can be used as dipping sauces. You can choose which dipping sauce you want to choose according to your personal taste. The most special dipping sauce must be chive sauce.

Chive flower sauce is also a major specialty of the grassland.

This leek flower is not a flower grown by artificially grown leeks, but a wild plant unique to the grassland, with particularly strong growth ability.

At this time, the wild leek flowers on the grassland are blooming very lushly. The leek flowers all over the mountains are lying in the bright sun. The white flowers sway in the wind, which is also a beautiful landscape on the grassland.

Whenever the leek flowers bloom, the whole family will go out on the grassland to pick a few large buckets of leek flowers and make them into leek flowers when they go home.

The prepared leek flower sauce can be stored for a long time. Eat hot pot, hand-held meat, noodles, and served with leek flower sauce. It’s so delicious!

When eating meat with a Mongolian knife, cut it into small pieces and dipped it in leek flower sauce and minced green garlic. It is very refreshing and pleasant, delicious and tender.

When eating hot pot, the thin slices of mutton are rinsed a few times and dipped in some leek flower sauce, which is also a delicious food in the world. For example, the "Donglaishun" restaurant, which is known as the "No. 1 shabu shabu shabu shabu", also uses leek flower sauce.

Ten minutes later, the strong boss brought two large plates of mutton to the table and said with a smile: "Several, you guys are here.

This is the newly arrived mutton today, and it is the tenderest part of the mutton body. You can eat these first, and if you don’t have enough, tell me, and I will continue to cook it for you.”

"Boss, don't use other dipping sauce, add some more leek flower sauce." Lu Ze greeted.

The strong boss laughed: "Haha, you are a wise man at first glance. I'll take it for you now."

After a while, I brought a few small bowls and filled it with green leek flower sauce. In the leek flower sauce, I usually mixed some minced garlic to enhance the aroma.

When the three best friends saw it, they were stunned. They had seen sesame paste, peanut butter, and even chili sauce. This green thing is also called dipping sauce?

Zhang Wei picked up the small bowl and put it on his nose to smell it, and said with disgust: "Lu Ze, can this leek flower sauce be delicious?"

"Haha, just listen to me. If you come to the grassland to eat mutton, you have to serve this leek flower sauce. If you go to other places, you can't even eat it." Lu Ze explained with a smile.

Now it is not a dozen years after the development of trade. Only local ones are available in the local area. Even if it is more than ten years later, it is not easy to buy fresh leek flower sauce very conveniently.

The three of them picked up a large piece of mutton suspiciously, applied some leek flower sauce, and then put it in their mouths with difficulty like something poisonous to eat.

The mutton melts in the mouth and chews it in the mouth. The deliciousness of the mutton and the aroma of the leek flower sauce perfectly blend together, inspiring an excellent taste experience.

The three of them chewed in big mouthfuls and praised them: "It's delicious, so delicious."

This is the case with chives and flower sauce. Most people may feel that it is not delicious when they first smell it, but when they try it with mutton, they will definitely give out their thumbs.

Lu Ze was too lazy to pay attention to them and devoted himself to the deliciousness of the prairie mutton. The four of them were fighting fiercely like hungry wolves.

Before Liu Chuan could swallow the mutton in his mouth, he shouted anxiously: "Boss, please add another serving according to this amount."

This is the original taste of high-quality ingredients, and there is no need for complicated cooking methods at all. The original flavor alone is enough to conquer the taste buds of human beings.

This hand-stewed mutton made the four of them completely delicious.

While eating, Lu Ze asked the strong boss about the guide. Unexpectedly, the strong boss happened to have a friend who was doing this business.

Lu Ze left his contact information and asked the other party to help contact his friends to see if there were any time to take Lu Ze and the other party to a free trip to the grassland.

Although they were driving along the way, they also made Lu Ze and the others very tired. The four of them returned to the hotel and went to bed early.

The next morning, Lu Ze's cell phone rang.

"Hello, it's Boss Lu, right? I am Qi Fei, my third brother's friend, and I am a professional tour guide.

I heard that you are looking for a self-driving tour guide. I happened to have time these days and can take you there." The other party reported his identity as soon as he came up.

Lu Ze immediately responded: "Hello, Brother Fei, we made a special trip to the grassland to play. We are not familiar with the place and need a professional guide to lead us around.

During this period, I may also want to camp and sleep on the grassland for a night, and I hope you will find a good place to go."

"No problem, I'm all professional, so don't worry. Then when will we set off?" Qi Fei agreed affirmatively.

Lu Ze replied directly: "We can set out early tomorrow morning. Do we need to make any preparations?"

"If you guys feel at ease, you can leave the preparations to me. The costs will be calculated together at that time." Qi Fei said tentatively.

Yesterday he had heard from the owner of the mutton restaurant that these young people are not short of money. As long as the service is good, there is no problem of making more money.

Lu Ze agreed with a smile: "Haha, I have no problem here, so I'll bother you, Brother Fei."

After finding a guide, Lu Ze and the other two felt relieved, wandered around the city casually, rested for another day, and replenished some supplies.

The next morning, Qi Fei was waiting at the entrance of Lu Ze and his friends' hotel.

What surprised Lu Ze and the others was that Qi Fei actually drove a Toyota Prado. After a brief greeting, the group of five people and three cars set off. Qi Fei led the way, Lu Ze and others followed behind.

After leaving the city, the grassland is far away. After a gust of lightning, I successfully entered the grassland area. The blue sky, white clouds and green grasslands are one of the most enjoyable feelings for self-driving tours.

The first destination for free travel is the Yangqugou attractions near HHHT.

Yangqungou is located in Helinger County, 90 kilometers south of Hohhot City. The bottom of the ditch is the Hun River, a tributary of the Yellow River, originating from the Sanjin Mountains and flowing into the Yellow River from east to west.

Although the scenery of Yangfengou is not magnificent, the blue sky, white clouds, grasslands and rivers combine to look like a beautiful painting of the northern grassland.

The car can drive along the grass to the edge of the Hun River. The water of this section of Hun River is very shallow and you can stand in the river, only to your ankles.

Lu Ze and the other two had a child's heart and took off their shoes and went down to the river to play with it. The cold river water instantly eroded the heat of midsummer.

After playing with the water and seeing the beautiful scenery of the grassland, the group continued to set off.

The next destination is the Ulanhada volcano group in the CHEYYHQ area near WLCB. This is not a popular tourist attraction at this moment. If it weren't for the guide Qi Fei, most people wouldn't have come here at all.

I have to say that the magic of nature is really amazing. I didn’t expect that there would be more than 30 volcanoes of different sizes on the prairie. Looking at the magical craftsmanship between heaven and earth, Lu Ze and the other two felt that this guide was really in vain.

As noon approached, several people planned to cook on the grass near the crater.

Qi Fei's Toyota Prado was obviously professionally modified. He opened a side tent from the roof of the car to shade the sun, and then brought out the stove and pots and pans from the car.

What surprised Lu Ze and the others the most was that there was a refrigerated insulator in the car, which contained a lot of mutton.

The picnic was wonderful now. The lunch was quite rich, and Qi Fei's service made Lu Ze and the other two exclaimed to be satisfied.

After lunch, I returned to the car to rest for a while, left the Ulanhada volcano group and headed straight for the Huiteng Xile grassland.

The Huiteng Xile Grassland, from May to September every year, flowers are everywhere, becoming a sea of ​​flowers. The 99 natural lakes in the grassland are dotted on the green Huiteng Xile Grassland, which has both the vast and majestic style of pastoral grasslands and the bright and beautiful colors of the Jiangnan water towns.

On the grassland, you will see a large number of cattle and sheep from time to time, walking freely on the vast grassland. Every other section of the road, you can see the yurt where the herders live.

Galloping on the endless grassland, your whole heart will be opened.

After enjoying the joy of driving freely between the world, Qi Fei took Lu Ze and the others to drive all the way to a familiar herdsman's home, and sleeping here tonight.

The hospitable herders prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Mongolian milk tea, belly bun meat, and three best friends are most concerned about roasted lamb. Looking at the kindness of the herdsmen and the skillful attitude of entertaining guests, Qi Fei must have brought tourists a lot in the past.

Sitting in the yurt, drinking milk tea, and enjoying the freshest whole sheep feast. This original dining environment feels really great.
