Chapter 119: The Grassland People’s Wedding, Grand and Grand
"Freshly squeezed goat milk may contain bacteria, and drinking it directly may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so it must be heated and sterilized before drinking."
Qi Guang gave some considerate instructions to the netizens in the live broadcast room.
Lu Cheng has already washed his hands and returned.
"Why did you wash your hands?"
"It's done squeezing."
Qi Guang pointed to the sheep over there and said:
“But those haven’t been crowded yet.”
A few sheep seemed to sense something and raised their ignorant faces to look at Qi Guang and Lu Cheng...
Lu Cheng sighed, took the empty bucket from Qi Guang's hand, and walked towards the sheep.
When the sheep saw Lu Cheng's fearless look on his face, they felt as if they had seen the paper sheep Qi Guang had made before, and they began to run away.
Fortunately, no matter what, Lu Cheng is much more handsome than those paper sheep.
In the end, one sheep was unable to escape and fell into his hands.
"Well, I have experience this time, so just stay still."
Lu Cheng spoke to Yangyang as gently as possible.
Yangyang had a look of ignorant fear on his face, but was pinned down by Lu Cheng's big hands and had no way to escape.
I can only leave it to fate...
Lu Cheng was busy squeezing in the corner, while Qi Guang was chatting with the fans in the live broadcast room:
"Tomorrow night is the prairie dance Aunt Gamina mentioned. Do you want to go and see it?"
When netizens in the live broadcast room heard the word "dance", they were all excited.
The thought of the singing and dancing Kazakhs gathering under the starry sky on the grassland, enjoying fine wine, delicious food, and singing and dancing in the night breeze...
It’s exciting just to think about it!
[Host, are dances like this often held on the grassland? I'm so looking forward to it! !]
[Dick Yangzai: Does that mean we can see the little brother dance? ! ! ]
When I went there with a tour group before, I attended a bonfire party. The atmosphere was really good!
[Little Mouse on the Prairie: Is the little brother going to sing and dance? ! ! ! I'm preparing a carnival and waiting...]
Qi Guang looked at the comments, feeling both amused and helpless:
"What? A prairie dance? Why did you bring up my dancing? I really can't dance at all. I'm sure I'll lose followers after this."
"Losing followers isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that it will burn your eyes!"
Seeing Qi Guang waving his hands and refusing repeatedly, the commentators became even more eager:
[The Golden Cudgel: I don't believe it. The host is very agile. It's just a dance. How can it be that difficult?]
[Yang Le Ge Yang: You didn't grasp the little brother's characteristics. You should have said, "Don't jump, don't jump, we can't see it at all."]
[Hahaha, is the anchor born to be rebellious? ]
Qi Guang looked at the comment about raising sheep and nodded.
"I'll listen to Brother Yang's advice. I'm determined not to jump."
Sure enough, as soon as Qi Guang said this, the barrage of comments "besieged" Yangergeyang, and in the end Yangergeyang almost had to start a live broadcast to make up for it with a dance...
Raising a sheep means that I am obedient and ask for forgiveness.
"Having a good chat?"
Lu Cheng came over at some point, carrying a full bucket of goat milk, and looked at Qi Guang with squinted eyes.
Qi Guang immediately put on a bright and somewhat flattering smile:
"Brother Yundan, you've worked hard. Take a rest."
Lu Cheng put down the bucket in his hand, sat on the ground, and asked:
"Are there many dances on the prairie?"
Qi Guang thought for a moment and said:
"Summer is a time when people are more connected, and there are many activities on the summer pasture. Tomorrow night is Aunt Gamina's niece's wedding, and it's sure to be very lively."
Not to mention the fans in the live broadcast room, even Lu Cheng showed a hint of anticipation.
[Dick Yangzai: By the way, Kazakh weddings have a lot of details, don't they? Just hearing about it makes it seem so lively!]
[Big Brother Dagen: Yangzai, you're asking a single guy this question. Are you planning to join me in this fight?]
[Brother Dagen, I advise you to be kind. The anchor is single, aren't you? ]
[Little Mouse on the Prairie: The little brother probably doesn't want to fall in love yet, but I'm not sure about Big Root...]
Big Brother Dagen: ??? Attacking me? Trying to get me to back down? Impossible! I'll definitely find evidence of the anchor's studio collapsing. Just wait!
This time, everyone once again chose to ignore Brother Da Gen.
Because Qi Guang has already started chatting with fans about the lively process of the grassland wedding:
"The traditional Kazakh wedding customs have a series of strict procedures, mainly including the proposal ceremony, engagement ceremony, betrothal gift ceremony, wedding ceremony and wedding reception ceremony."
Lu Cheng looked at Qi Guang in surprise. It was obvious that he did not expect Qi Guang to be so familiar with wedding customs and etiquette.
"The engagement ceremony is when the man's father or a close relative brings gifts to the woman's home to propose marriage. If the woman is interested, they will discuss the date for the engagement ceremony. Then the man's parents or brother and sister-in-law will visit the woman's parents with gifts such as a horse, a flowered hat with eagle feathers, jewelry, and clothing. They will hold an eagle feather-wearing ceremony for the woman, which is called 'Uktahewu' in Kazakh."
"The engagement ceremony, called 'Kuda Lasu' in Kazakh, is held at the woman's home. On that day, the man's parents and close relatives will bring a horse and other gifts to the woman's home. The woman will invite relatives, friends, and neighbors to participate, and will slaughter a yellow-fronted white sheep to entertain her in-laws."
"After the meal, the bride's family will serve the guests a dish made of sheep's tail oil, sheep's liver, and yogurt. The women of the bride's family will personally feed the guests and wish them a happy life. When the guests leave, the bride's family will also give them gifts. At the engagement ceremony, the couple will agree on the betrothal gift."
The more Lu Cheng listened, the wider his eyes became. He didn't expect that Qi Guang had such a clear grasp of the details.
But he didn't say anything or interrupt, just listened quietly.
"Next comes the gift. The fiancé, accompanied by a close relative and a young man, carries the gift to his fiancée's home. The gift usually consists of livestock, tapestries, tent hats, and various clothing items. The gifts must be in odd numbers. The fiancé must dismount in advance and arrive at the doorstep accompanied by women from the bride's family. A respected elderly woman from the bride's family will sprinkle wedding candy on the groom and wish him happiness and a happy life."
"The wedding ceremony is even more lively. The night before the wedding, the bride's family will hold a duet singing competition for young men and women. The bride's parents will place the dowry in a small felt tent and invite a respected elder to give a congratulatory speech for the bride. Afterwards, the bride's friends will sing songs praising her beauty and comforting her not to be sad. The young men will sing the lighthearted, humorous and witty "Song of Persuading Marriage."
"The next day, the bride will go to the groom's home. She will cover her head with a scarf, sit alone, cry, and sing the 'Farewell Song.' After singing, she will be surrounded by bridesmaids and other women, hug her family and say goodbye. Her parents will also sing a farewell song to her daughter. She must stop crying and singing, and she must not look back."
Qi Guang paused here, looked at the slowing scrolling comments in the live broadcast room, and continued:
"During the wedding reception, when the bride goes to the groom's house, the groom will hold a grand wedding reception, called 'Keleng Tusrutoi' in Kazakh. On that day, livestock will be slaughtered and guests will be entertained. During the ceremony, there will be singing and dancing, and even a series of interesting activities such as sheep grabbing, girls chasing, horse racing, and wrestling."
"As for the detailed wedding ceremony, I'll show you a live broadcast later. After all, the traditional Kazakh wedding customs have been included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists. I'm going to talk too much here, so it's better for you to see it with your own eyes."
