Chapter 116：Sausage and philosophical thoughts

Sausage! Of course, meat sausage was much tastier than their food. Fang reached for the sausage. Baraz briskly turned to Dara, he knew this sausage! It was he who advised Dara to buy this wonderful sausage. It was made from the most tender lamb meat. He ate only fresh clover, drank the spring water of the mountains, breathed ecologically clean air.

The lamb meat was rubbed with spices, then smoked in tandoori * on coniferous wood, which gave the meat a special piquant aroma. The sausage texture was tender, juicy, the meat was balanced in balance with small inclusions of fat. From this sausage did not get fat, it was very tasty, it gave a lot of energy for a person. It could be stored for 1 month. This sausage was a separate independent dish and could serve as a Comes from the french. entremets from french. entre "between" + french. Mets "food, the dish", that is, to be a transitional dish. Usually, in the city such sausage was bought during the holidays when guests can appear on the doorstep suddenly. Then the owner could get the sausage of their refrigerator, cut into slices, chopped the fresh onion, salt it, chop green radish into thin slices, quickly sprinkle with salted water, chop finely dill on top. All the sausage snack was ready. The same sausage was bought by those who were too lazy to cook after a hard-working day. They came home in the evening, bachelors. Once they opened the refrigerator, took out the sausage, fried the onion a little, or simply threw slices of sausage into boiling water. Here is a miniature broth. A tasty, hot meal, satisfying and time-consuming, takes only 5 minutes to cook.

Meat was cheaper if you bought a whole ram, the price of meat could be 40 percent cheaper than a carcass already cut.

Previously, when there were no refrigerators yet, and this was 1950-1960, the meat was stored in barrels. The meat was first cooked, then fried, and then put in a 50-bucket wooden barrel, salted, peppered and poured with fat tail fat (it was cut and then heated in a pot, oil was formed). After some time, the oil-hardened turned white. The meat was under an oily crust. Children until their parents saw, snatched out pieces of meat or cut it with a knife, digging out from under the oil and eating. Then the times were hungry. Not always was a potato and butter on the table. Post-war years. Healed more or less satisfying and good only in the 70s of the 20th century.

And the parents pulled out the meat, then it was cut off and added to various dishes, soups, stewed vegetables. So they lived in those days.

Fang liked the sausage, he gladly ate it. Even such a little girl, taking care of her Barno figure, did not refuse a large piece of sausage. When hungry, no one else thinks about bad cholesterol, calories and maintaining weight and shape. Mirbobo and Baraz enjoyed eating sausage. And Dara simply looked to the north, where the smooth surface of a man-made lake shone on the horizon. He recently read a book about migrants from Southeast Asia to Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, and Britain. The book said that surprisingly proud Asians forgot so quickly about their homeland. For example, that writer cited an example of a family that migrated from Asia to Australia. Grandfather and father proudly talked about their homeland and did not forget their native language. But their grandchildren had already completely forgotten their native language, and spoke only English. They forgot about their past, about their culture, literature, poetry. They completely cut themselves off from their homeland, from their people. Now they were already Australians (in the first or second generation) and therefore, for complete naturalization, they abandoned their belonging to their native culture. They began to exalt the culture of their new homeland. And sometimes, to reproach your old homeland. Everything happens in the world. That writer spoke of this phenomenon as a simple desire of a newcomer to become closer in spirit to a new place. An attempt to change the view of the world, of the environment, to change their philosophy. All people are different and each for himself chooses something. Usually, a person chooses to live where he is better, comfortable, safer and can realize his creative potential. Get an adequate salary for your work.

Such thoughts flashed through Dara's head.

But the time for a snack and reflection was over; it was time to get back together. In all likelihood, many more unexpected treasures were hidden in these remnant mountains and steppes. However, it is possible that these treasures were waiting for new explorers, and maybe there would be them again Dara and digging, but not today, but after a year or two or three.

In the meantime, Dara was leaving back to the base, and if he knew in the Rybaki Mountains, he still had many treasures, many hundreds of millions of dollars. But Dara did not have an X-ray spectacle or a magical look like super people from Marvel. Therefore, he could not see diamond tubes, gold veins, buried gold coins and precious stones, only 1 km from the place where they ate sausage. It was not a mountain valley, there were no springs, there were no wells or ruins. Just a small mountain range. But maybe Dara, then finds, information that in this place, a mountain range, once upon a time, during the time of the first Tang empire, there was a small house where a Tang scientist who studied the land lived. This was the son of Li-Ban ... but Dara could only find out about this by reading the dynasty chronicles of the Tang empire. However, for this, he would need to know the Chinese language, which Dara did not know. So it may be good that part of the treasures remains in the earth, but not all the same people find?
