Camel thorn and the camel on the car in the vast Gobi Mercedes-Benz, azure blue sky and the distant desert a line. We went to the god of Dun know, although now it is late summer heat wave season, but we sit here, the car rarely have air conditioners, and ask the driver they say is not necessary, and we believe that the driver who initially saved excuse. To the Gobi road, we feel exactly the unnecessary drivers say the truth. Outside the car the heat of the sun, dazzling sunlight in the dry brown of the desert, the surface temperature at least 40 degrees Celsius or above, allowed to gaze longingly to the ground to heat waves are trembling slightly. May open up car head-wind blowing in bursts but with the coolness, unlike the imagination as it was very hot. Gobi is not as we might think of as grass, allowed to gaze longingly a dark green clumps of plants, zero-star to dot the brown of the desert, the king asked the master, before we know those plants are mostly camel thorn.
In my place to live, just missed the chance to get to know camel thorn, only from a variety of books and information on where to know the origin of the camel thorn of life: camel thorn branches was green and white, above a long straight with a small thorn. In the thorn between the distribution of the leaf stems, leaves very small, only children big grain of wheat, in the leaves off the stems, was staggered, ranging from 5-7, more up to 15, all the singular. Both the wet green grass in summer, autumn or drought dry grass, it is always green, piles, clumps, particular concern to eye. Its roots are very resilient, but also run deep and can be sucked dry barren soil moisture, so in any season, it is Misty green and vibrant. Harsh drought and cold, so that all the green life prohibitive, only the camel thorn in the simplest form to survive in the ruthless murder of all green life of the drought, storms and cold, only the camel thorn to survive, the formation of the Gobi Desert dotted and life on the small traces, and to maintain and reproduce a large family.
Because we have not seen the camel thorn and his party, so in a relatively thick camel thorn parked next to the car. I carefully touched the green camel thorn, very hard, very difficult to handle and thorn could be that it seems to be a great sight to behold in the United States - jie ao no training, tenacity, tenacity. Looked at it, I am reminded of the tender and beautiful roses, they only have in common is that people are a long tie with thorns, roses can be grown in warm and humid place, but it grows in dry, cold and storms over the Gobi desert zone, I even thought it seems the Gobi Desert Rose has ... ... it's short, thin branches, needle-like leaves, dazzling, without the slightest flirtatious of the state. It has also opened a small heard that almost do not see the flowers, and nurture it as the color of desert sand, it should be spent in the most inconspicuous color. However, compared it with any flower favorably with whom any wind and insect pollination, seed quietly, in the lonely can meet the expectations of rain, and then Youde germination. Said by bees of the camel thorn flower honey flavor of the brew's unique, aromatic, sweet is it.
After the master on the bus and Wang to discuss why the camel eat camel thorn from the issue, Wang Master smiled and told us that they have such a local saying: looking for people to eat hot peppers, camel thorn to find bar to eat. A period of time is said to eat camel camel thorn, just like people who like to eat chili peppers would like to do the same restlessness, stomach itch in呀.
Listening to Chef Wang's, I do not not help but admire the high degree of adaptability of life. In that vast expanse of desert Hanhai, in order to survive, camel hump water will be used, because the desert is not so much of the springs for their drinking; in order to survive, learned how to eat camel camel thorn, because the desert is only at most, it could be fruit empty stomach. And those of us human beings, in the enjoyment of a high level of modern urban civilization, the unwilling, unwilling to ignorance, Postscript Qianshan, involving million of water, came to this ancient civilization, the former prior to mourn the ancient virtue of yesterday's achievements, explore the history of past glory .
