In the end, Su Qing didn't get to have dinner in Uncle Sangji's yurt.
The people of Xiuma Village were extremely hospitable. No outsiders had visited in years; Su Qing was their only guest in a long time. To express their sincere welcome, the village chief decided to hold a bonfire banquet that evening in her honor.
The bonfire banquet was set up in an open area next to Xiuma Village. Beside a large bonfire was an abundance of roasted mutton and beef, as well as tsampa, cheese pastries, dried cheese, and highland barley wine... a truly lavish spread.
To welcome Su Qing, the villagers brought out their best food, making her feel the genuine warmth of Xiuma Village. She also received the sincerest blessings from the village elders.
"Su Qing, hurry and try this. This cheese pastry was made by Aunt Gama. It's especially delicious," Zhuoma said with a smile, handing a piece to Su Qing.
