Chapter 87 Bata is Everywhere
Although there was delicious food in front of him, Qi Guang still politely asked Asta and his wife if he could take pictures.
Kormu Khan translated this sentence to Asta in the national language, and pointed to the device in Qi Guang's hand.
The couple smiled and nodded, saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
Only then did Qi Guang feel at ease and pointed the camera at the dining table.
It was dinner time and the netizens in the live broadcast room were already excited!
Yes, every piece of food on this big table can whet Qi Guang’s appetite.
Not to mention the netizens who can only watch but not eat...
[Wow! This long table is filled with food. It's obvious that this place is either wealthy or noble! !]
[Dick Yangzai: The hospitality of the Kazakh people was fully demonstrated at this moment! !]
[Raising a Sheep: I see there's an empty seat next to Brother Yundan, why don't you guys wait for me?]
[Little Mouse on the Prairie: This table of delicious food is beyond description!]
[Big Dagen Ge: Tsk, I have to say, that bowl of mutton noodles in the middle looks delicious...]
"The mutton noodles that Dagenge mentioned are called 'Naren,' which means noodles in Kazakh."
"Of course you can use mutton, but I think Uncle Asta and his team used horse meat in this bowl."
Kormu Khan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Yes, horse meat."
Uncle Asta also gave Qi Guang a look of approval.
Qi Guang saw that the plate closest to them contained a sheep's head, hind legs and ribs.
Uncle Kormuhan took out the small knife he carried with him, cut the sheep's head a few times, and then put the meat into his mouth.
Then he handed the plate to Qi Guang.
Qi Guang tapped Lu Cheng on the shoulder, signaling him to follow him.
Qi Guang first picked up a knife and cut off a piece of flesh from the right forehead of the sheep's head, then cut off a small piece of flesh from the left ear and put it into his mouth.
Then he handed the plate to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng followed suit and put the plate down after he had cut and eaten the head meat.
As a result, Qi Guang took it and handed the plate back to Khormu Khan.
Kormuhan handed the plate to Astha again.
We had a meal together, and old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time chatted enthusiastically. The whole atmosphere was very harmonious.
Then they started to eat the plate of Naren together, which attracted the netizens in the live broadcast room to launch barrages:
What does horse meat taste like? I've never eaten it before...
【It was such a great feeling eating together, the food was so delicious! 】
"Little brother, eat more. You're a little thinner than Brother Yundan."
[This noodle looks like the one I eat in Dapanji. Is it called white noodles?]
Qi Guang did not forget to answer fans' questions during his meal:
“Horse meat tastes sweet and fragrant, and its texture is closer to beef.”
Lu Cheng handed Qi Guang a bowl of mare's milk wine. Qi Guang lowered his head and took a sip, then said:
"Horse meat fat is of higher quality than beef, lamb, and pork fat, and is more similar to vegetable oil, making it very effective in preventing arteriosclerosis."
It seems that horses are really full of treasures!!
After the meal, Asta smiled at everyone and looked relaxed.
Qi Guang and the others also followed Asta's example and tidied themselves up.
Astha said, "Let's do 'Bata'."
After saying that, Asta and his wife and Kormu Khan touched their faces with their hands. Qi Guang glanced at Lu Cheng and did the same thing.
Lu Cheng naturally followed suit.
Then, Asta and his wife and Kormuhan read out a long string of words in their national language. Qi Guang and Lu Cheng listened quietly. Even though they did not speak the same language, they could feel the most sincere blessings.
After making "Bata", everyone returned to chatting with each other. The food was no longer steaming hot, but the emotions between people became more and more passionate.
The curious babies in the live broadcast room naturally would not miss this excellent opportunity to popularize science:
[Host, please tell us what Bata is? ]
The atmosphere just now felt so solemn and sacred, I almost stood up in front of the screen...
Little Mouse on the Prairie: I just checked on Baidu and found that "Bata" is a word of blessing!
"Bata is ubiquitous in Kazakh life. It's a crucial ritual for naming newborns, weddings, birthday celebrations, receiving guests, and even slaughtering livestock, dining, and running errands."
"The content of Bata's blessing varies depending on the person and situation. For example, today when we are visiting Uncle Asta's house, the blessing should be 'May your pot always be full of oil and water, may your tablecloth (table) always be covered with delicious food, and may your family be happy and prosperous.'"
"The Kazakh people strongly believe in the power of Bata. There are proverbs that say: 'Rain turns the earth green, Bata makes heroes,' and 'A good Bata brings good luck, but the absence of Bata brings misfortune.'"
[Raising a Sheep: Whether it should be said or not, the wisdom of the people is written in proverbs.]
[Wow, this sense of ritual, I love it! ]
[Little brother, you really know a lot. How did you remember such a long blessing? ]
"Visit other people's homes more often, and you'll naturally remember them!"
Qi Guang laughed, as if he felt that this sentence exposed his habit of often going to other people's homes to eat for free.
Lu Cheng on the side suddenly asked:
"Then I went to your house for a meal, why didn't you bless me?"
Qi Guang replied:
"Brother Yundan, you can't have both." Then he glanced at the cup Lu Cheng placed aside and said, "Take the medicine."
Lu Cheng once again felt like a sheep...
Kormu Khan was happily chatting with Asta at the moment, but suddenly he pointed at Qi Guang and said a string of words that he could not understand.
Asta and Qiaolepan looked at Qi Guang and smiled with relief.
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng were confused and looked at Khormu Khan with puzzled expressions.
Kormu Khan then explained:
"I said it was because of you, boy, that Begomu expressed his feelings to the girl he loved, and now the two of them get along very well."
Qi Guang looked at Khormuhan, then at Asta, and suddenly slapped his thigh, saying in sudden realization:
"I thought so. Uncle Asta is Begomu's uncle!"
Khormu Khan was slightly surprised:
"Child, you just remembered it, didn't you?"
Qi Guang felt a little embarrassed because he had only met Asta once.
Many years ago, I went to Begomu's house for a meal, and Uncle Asta happened to be there.
It was just the time of a meal, and it has long been diluted by time.
Qi Guang once heard from Begomu that he had a cousin who settled in S City and never came back all year round, leaving only his uncle and aunt at home.
From their conversation, one could tell that his cousin and uncle did not have a good relationship, and both of them were stubborn in their own ways.
The cousin stubbornly hopes that his father Asta can try to adapt to the new life.
Asta, on the other hand, hates these new changes because he used to be a falconer.
