I have been staying at home these days, paying attention to the results of nucleic acid tests in various districts in Xining. They are all negative, which makes me temporarily relieved.
After taking nucleic acid sampling in the morning, I went to 's sister's house in the north of city. I haven't been able to see her since I returned to Ning. It was already past 11 o'clock when I arrived at my sister's house, and my sister and brother-in-law were busy preparing lunch.
When I asked, I cooked a pot of mutton, and my sister specially made pancakes (called pancakes in our hometown, pancakes in my brother-in-law's hometown in Jiangsu, and pancakes in Henan), and ate them with mutton soup.
Haha, my sister and brother-in-law really understand me. Every time I come back, I come here to satisfy my cravings and have fun.
I ate a piece of melon and watched some TV. The food was ready and the meal was served. shredded potatoes , shredded green peppers, and cucumbers. These dishes are rolled in pancakes and are delicious in themselves.
A big fish and a plate of stewed local chicken were served. My brother-in-law’s cooking is good, but I basically didn’t eat much. I was waiting for the mutton, which is my favorite.
A large pot of mutton was served, which was basically the tough ribs, and a small amount of forelegs (actually cooked tender ribs taste better, the layers of fat and leanness make it more fragrant). It is said that this is the mutton from Qilian, Qinghai, which is very delicious, but most of the meat eaten this season is fattening sheep .
I have tasted mutton on site from pastoral areas across the country, such as mutton from Xinjiang, mutton from Inner Mongolia, mutton from Gansu, mutton from Ningxia, and mutton from Tibet. After eating it over and over, I still feel that Qinghai’s mutton is the most delicious.
The best mutton in Qinghai is Tianjun mutton and Chaka mutton. Both of these places are located on the banks of Qinghai Lake . They are cold and hypoxic, but there are many "games", such as a lot of wild onions and wild garlic. Even though It is other grasses that grow on saline-alkali soil that are also rich in salt.
These sheep have grown up eating seasonings since they were young, plus the Cordyceps and other precious medicinal materials and ingredients on the hillside, the mountain spring water flowing on the mountain, and the vast grassland stretching as far as the eye can see. These factors add up, and it would be strange if the mutton is not delicious. There is a joke: what you eat is Cordyceps , what you drink is mineral water, and what you drink is Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
I ate several large pieces of mutton. I was almost done and I didn’t dare to eat anymore. Let’s have another bowl of mutton soup. Add some chopped green onion and coriander to the soup. Take a sip and it will feel so comfortable. Take a piece of pancake, tear it open, and soak it in a bowl. The doughy pancake absorbs the aroma of the mutton soup. It smells delicious when you take a bite.
I remember that when I traveled across the province for work, the food in some high-altitude areas was not well cooked and would easily cause stomach upset. My solution was to go to the kitchen of a restaurant and ask for a bowl of mutton soup with mutton, and then make a white flour pancake. You can eat enough and avoid eating problems. Generally, you won't eat rice, noodles, noodles, and the like.
fell into ambush immediately. It was the right time to eat mutton and drink mutton soup. He drank two bowls of mutton soup in one go before giving up. I have been thinking about mutton for more than half a year, and the delicious mutton soup is so delicious that it feels safe and comfortable in my stomach. It really satisfies my craving.
After dinner, we chatted for a while. The weather got better, so we all went out for a walk together. In front of us is the famous Beichuan Wetland Park.
Before leaving, I carried a large bag of pancakes baked by my sister. These pancakes are made with eggs, milk, clear oil (rapeseed oil), yeast powder, dough, and are baked as soft as bread. The pancakes were put into my wife's bag and I carried them on my back. It was too heavy and I felt tired after not walking very far.
all say that there is no light load for a long journey, but it is a bit too much for this short journey.
Wetland Park is under construction, including drainage projects and railway line relocation projects. The road in front is blocked and you cannot enter the park. You have to go south along the road. There is a gate to enter the park at Shilipu .
The sun was shining brightly, there was no shade on the side of the road, and the backpack was heavy, which was a bit overwhelming. I kept asking, why haven’t we arrived yet?
When I entered the park, I saw that the core scenic spot had passed. After a short distance back, the bird watching platform arrived. Oddly enough, I felt a lot cooler and more relaxed when I got here, my feet felt lighter, and the weight of my backpack was ignored. I saw beautiful scenery everywhere, as if I was in the south of the Yangtze River.
I walked around the surroundings first, and went from the suspension bridge to the east bank of the water. There were many Du Niangs flying close to the water, and many Du Niangs were connected two by two. It turned out that the breeding season was here, and I took a lot of effort to take a picture of them. The photo parked on the grass pole on the water is a bit far away, and the results of the electronic zoom are not very clear, so I'll have to take a look.
After wandering around, return to the bird watching platform. My brother-in-law took the backpack and carried it for me. I relaxed and climbed to the fourth floor (the highest level) in one breath. I saw the surrounding suspension bridges, pavilions, arch bridges, corridors, trees, water, and wild ducks (there were so many species that I couldn’t distinguish, so I had to call them all Wild ducks), visitors can see it all at once, which cannot be described in words. Let's take a look at it, it's beautiful.
After coming down from the bird watching platform and continuing south, the water area becomes wider, and there are more majestic troops on the water's edge, camel caravans crossing the Silk Road, caravans undergoing border inspection, castles, and some historical celebrities. .
Along with these are garden workers salvaging overgrown aquatic plants, doing so on the unobstructed water surface It’s not easy to do repetitive work.
There were two huge dead carp floating by the water. It was obvious that these fish were not the original inhabitants of the lake, but outsiders. It was a tragedy caused by someone releasing them into the wild. You should also have some common sense when releasing animals. You should release aquatic species that are native to the place. Species that do not belong here should not be released indiscriminately. It will cause ecological imbalance and the death of the released fish. What was originally a kind intention has turned into killing. This needs to be changed.
I was walking and playing all the way. When I looked at my watch, it was past five o'clock. The sky had become cloudy and even raindrops were falling. I hurriedly went home.
It was already past seven o'clock when I got home in the car. This day was quite busy.
Today I not only satisfied my craving, I also satiated my eyes. I watched the beautiful scenery of Beichuan Wetland Park. It was worth it.
