The cows and goats were to the nomads what farming was for the Central Plains. It certainly wasn’t as though they could eat their crops or livestock as they pleased. However, after Donti’s arrival, Hassan had been slaughtering the tribe’s goats for Donti to eat to show his respect. As for the rest of the tribespeople, only the younger, stronger manual laborers would get to eat meat, and even that meat would have to come from the animals that died in the blizzard.
For the young girls like Tsetseg, even though she was Hassan’s daughter, she did not receive any preferential treatment. It was also probably because of Hassan’s impartiality that he became the tribe’s chief.
The moment Donti arrived at their tribe, he was treated with the highest respect. Therefore, he had never had to experience the hardships of the nomads.
When Adella and he saw that these people reared their own livestock, they thought that the tribe was quite well-to-do. However, they did not know the livestock were not supposed to be killed at whim. With so many people in the tribe, if they only ate beef and goat meat for their meals, they would probably have to slaughter several of them in one day alone.
Their tribe could not survive such extravagance.
