Entering the yurt, Tan Zaiwang took a look at the furnishings inside.
I have to say that the yurt in front of me is far inferior to the sweat tent in Qingcheng, both in terms of scale and the furnishing space inside.
The yurt in front of me was obviously much smaller than a sweat tent. There were several leather blankets for sitting on the back of the low table. Unlike the sweat tent, the entire tent was covered with the furs of wild animals.
"Sit down!" Kankantada Taiji pointed to the back of a low table beside him.
Tan Zaiwang was stunned when he heard the other party's clear spoken Chinese.
If he closed his eyes, he would almost think that a Datong man was standing in front of him talking.
Perhaps seeing what Tan Zaiwang was thinking, Kankantada Taiji smiled and explained: "I have had a lot of contact with you Ming people, and I am familiar with you Han people."
"Taiji's Chinese is really good." Tan Zaiwang praised, then walked behind the low table and sat down cross-legged.
"Don't leave today. Stay at the ranch. I'll have the yellow lamb roasted. I'll bring it to you after it's done. You can try our Mongolian roasting lamb skills later." After saying that, Kankantada Taiji Go to the front seat and sit down cross-legged.
Tan Zaiwang stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I still have companions staying in Bansheng City, and I need to go back to meet them, so that I can return to Datong earlier and deliver the grain, tea and other supplies needed to the Great Khan and Taiji earlier. "
"There's no rush." Kankantada Taiji waved his hand and said, "Every time the Fan family comes to our Tumut grassland, they will stay in Bansheng City for a few days. You can go back tomorrow in time, and you can go alone. It’s not safe, I will arrange for my personal guards to take you to Bansheng City tomorrow.”
Tan Zaiwang heard that the other party was determined to let him stay, and knowing that he could not leave for the time being, he said, "Then I will disturb Taiji."
Kankantada smiled and said: "You Ming people like to be too polite. You are not as direct as us Mongolians. Just say whatever you want."
The curtain of the yurt was opened, and two Mongolian girls walked in with trays in their hands. One of them walked towards Kankantada Taiji, and the other walked towards Tan Zaiwang.
On the tray were a silver pot and a silver bowl. The Mongolian girl put the silver pot and silver bowl on the low table, picked up the silver pot, and poured a glass of kumiss into the silver bowl.
After doing all this, the two Mongolian girls retreated from the yurt.
Kankantada picked up the silver bowl and said with a smile: "Come, try our Mongolian kumis. You are my Khan's guest, and you are my guest. In the words of you Han people, you drank this bowl of wine." .”
A bowl of kumiss was consumed in just a few mouthfuls.
Tan Zaiwang didn't like the sour taste of kumis, and he wasn't used to drinking it, but he could only pick up the silver bowl and drink the bowl of kumis with him.
"Haha, what do you think? This is the wine we Mongolians should drink." Kankantada Taiji asked Xiang Tan Zaiwang with a smile.
Tan Zaiwang nodded slightly and boasted against his will: "Very good."
"Lies." Kankantada Taiji shook his head.
Tan Zaiwang's expression changed.
Kankantada Taiji continued: "You Ming people always like to say things that go against your will. As far as I know, Ming people don't like to drink our kumiss. I saw it just now, and you don't like it either."
Tan Zaiwang was at a loss holding the silver bowl.
"But it doesn't matter." Kankantada Taiji said, "You Ming people have your own wine, and kumiss is the wine of us Mongolians. Just like you don't like our Mongolian kumiss, I don't like you either. Wine from the Ming Dynasty."
Tan Zaiwang didn't understand why Kankantada Taiji told him this, but he vaguely felt that the other party was hostile to him or the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"That's a lot to say." Cancantada said, "I brought you to my ranch because I hope you can tell your proprietor something."
Tan Zaiwang put down the silver bowl and said, "If Taiji has anything to say, just say it. I will definitely bring it to my boss."
Kankantada Taiji said: "I hope that in the future your Tiger Flag convoy will come to the grassland and deliver food and tea to my herdsmen. Of course, my herdsmen will also exchange their leathers, cattle and sheep for For you guys."
"Don't worry Tai Ji, I will definitely convey these words to my boss. I believe my boss will definitely agree with what Tai Ji said." Tan Zaiwang agreed.
He doesn't think this is an embarrassing matter, and his boss shouldn't object.
"Thank you, my boss, for me." Kankantada Taiji smiled and picked up the silver bowl.
Tan Zaiwang hurriedly poured a bowl of kumiss into his silver bowl, and then picked it up with both hands.
"There is one more thing, you must remember to tell your proprietor." Kankantada Taiji put down the silver bowl in his hand and said seriously, "As for Mul Taiji, your proprietor had better send someone to deliver it. It’s a generous gift, but without the support of Murtaiji, it would be useless even if the Great Khan agreed to let you come to the grassland to do business. This is why the Great Khan did not directly agree to you in the Khan tent.”
Tan Zaiwang frowned.
In the sweat tent before, Bu Shitu Khan promised to let their tiger-character flag convoy enter the grassland, saying that he wanted to see their strength. He thought that Bu Shitu Khan was worried that their tiger-character flag was not as good as the Fan family. Now he knows that this and other A Taiji related.
Kankantada Taiji saw the worry on Tan Zaiwang's face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Namu'er Taiji supports Ming people to come to the grassland to do business, but you'd better prepare a generous gift for Namu'er. Taiji, this way the Great Khan will not be embarrassed by this matter."
"For the next generation, our proprietor, thank you Taiji." Tan Zaiwang stood up and cupped his hands.
Kankantada Taiji smiled and said: "Sit down, sit down, most Taiji and I support you coming to the grassland to do business."
Tan Zaiwang nodded.
In the Khan tent before, it was the Kankantada Taiji in front of him who strongly supported their Tiger Flag to come to the grassland to do business. That was why Bu Shitu Khan so easily agreed to the Tiger Flag to come to the grassland to do business.
He solemnly remembered Kankantada Taiji's words in his heart.
When he was in the Khan tent, he felt that Bushitu Khan had great trust in Kankantada Taiji, and other Taijis in the Khan tent also had great respect for Kankantada Taiji, otherwise he would not have done so this time. Things will not go so smoothly.
"Taiji, the yellow mutton is ready." A Mongolian armored soldier wearing leather armor walked in from outside the yurt.
Kankantada Taiji said: "Bring it here and let our friends from the Ming Dynasty taste the yellow mutton roasted by our Mongolians."
The Mongolian armored soldiers retreated.
Soon, he walked in with two plates of shaved mutton in his hands.
A plate of yellow mutton was placed on Tan Zaiwang's low table and on the low table in front of Kankantada Taiji.
"Eat it while it's hot and try our Mongolian craftsmanship!" Kankantada Taiji raised his hand and gestured towards the yellow mutton on Tan Zaiwang's low table. At the same time, he picked up a piece with a knife and put it in his mouth to chew.
Tan Zaiwang picked up the knife on the edge of the plate, stabbed a piece of yellow mutton and put it in his mouth, while giving Kankantada Taiji a thumbs up.
Kankantada Taiji, who was sitting behind the low table, stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
