Chapter 395: The Deliciousness of Mutton
After three days of adaptation, Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage, who came to the ranch from China for the Spring Festival, also completely integrated into the life of the ranch. Compared with the adults wandering around the ranch every day, the little girl who came with her was undoubtedly the most enjoyable.
Every day, under the leadership of my mother, I went to the pasture to see the cattle and sheep, and by the way, I let my father lead the horse, and the little girl had a lot of fun. And the staff of the ranch, for such a cute little girl, naturally also gave corresponding respect and enthusiasm.
Listening to Januk's suggestion, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Regarding the matter of holding a party, it is indeed necessary. Anyway, I'm a new resident of the South Island, so I need to build relationships with the ranchers and residents in the surrounding area.
It's just that I still need some time to learn more about my surroundings. The specific time of the party is still set in three days! What do you think of the party, which is a barbecue and buffet?"
Actually, for the residents around the ranch, they are very welcoming to the boss. In their opinion, the boss is more bold than the previous Mr. Scu. Because of the construction of the ranch, they have also increased their income a lot!"
has been in contact with Zhuang Haiyang for a long time, and Januk also knows that this boss has a straightforward personality and what is the best thing to say. He was able to get the position of foreman, more because he had been a soldier, and this boss was also a soldier.
As a subordinate, Januk just felt that in order to integrate into the South Island or the town next to the ranch, Zhuang Haiyang really needed to hold such a party and invite some surrounding residents to come over and have a lively time, so as to be recognized by more residents.
In fact, Zhuang Haiyang has always had this idea. It's just that he feels that he still needs to spend some time and walk around the neighborhood more. Even the last time he was on the ranch, he had been there for a long time. But most of the time, he stays at the ranch and rarely goes out.
For such a suggestion, Concubine Li didn't think there was anything wrong. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, even if she and Zhuang Haiyang have not changed their nationality. But for the surrounding islanders, they are new islanders and need to be integrated into this environment.
Just thinking of this party, the number of people may be as many as hundreds, Concubine Li is also very worried: "Barbecue and buffet, are we busy coming? Do you want to hire some people to come over and help?"
"It's okay! When the time comes, Will and Janook will call their families to help. You, your sister-in-law and Ouyang are responsible for making some Chinese food. I believe that these foreigners will be very satisfied after tasting it. ”
"Okay, then wait, I'll discuss it with my sister-in-law and Sister Ouyang. ”
This kind of barbecue is naturally handed over to Hong Wei and Wang Yanming. Anyway, there are a lot of meat sheep raised in the pasture, and when the time comes, two or three sheep will be killed and directly used for barbecue. Roasted whole lamb is a food that I believe will also be very popular.
At present, most of the meat sheep have been raised for more than two months. Eating the high-quality grass cultivated in the pasture, the quality of these meat sheep is believed to make those who taste it fall in love with the mutton from their own pasture.
In order to ensure that the ingredients will be liked by the guests, Zhuang Haiyang even asked Janok to slaughter a meat sheep at night to taste. Knowing that Januk and these people only eat meat, Zhuang Haiyang also specially called Hong Wei over.
He instructed: "Lao Hong, wait a minute, you and Nuke will go to pick lambs, in addition to mutton, haggis and the like are also kept." Foreigners don't eat haggis, but we still like to eat it. In the evening, boil the haggis soup and taste it. ”
"Okay! I'll take care of that, and I'll make sure it's okay. ”
Considering that he only killed one sheep, Zhuang Haiyang did not invite other employees to the ranch dinner, and only called Will and Januk. Seeing the slaughtered lambs, Zhuang Haiyang pickled them himself.
Jenuk, who originally wanted to intervene, finally smiled and said, "BOSS, I heard that your country has a lot of food?"
"Yes! When you have time in the future, you can also visit my country. I'm sure you'll love the food there. ”
"I'm sure there's a chance!"
In addition to the whole sheep prepared for barbecue, the cleaned haggis and sheep's head are all used by Zhuang Haiyang to stew soup. Even when the soup was stewed, he demonstrated it to Concubine Li so that she could learn to cook this delicacy.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Li was also surprised and said, "Do you still understand this?"
"I don't know much, but I believe that the lamb raised on the pasture will taste very delicious. The specific boiling method may not be called a master. But I believe that the ingredients will not disappoint me. ”
When night fell, the staff of the ranch also went home from work. In addition to the staff on duty, Will and Januk also went to the courtyard in front of the villa and began to look at the lamb sizzling on the grill.
Smelling the fragrance of the lamb, Januk swallowed and said, "BOSS, what spices have you added to this lamb?
"I'm sorry! this is my secret ingredient, and I'm afraid I can't tell you. I'm sure you'll love the taste, though. ”
While speaking, Zhuang Haiyang smeared oil on the lamb from time to time. When the others also shifted their eyes to the lamb, they cut a small piece with a knife, and saw that it was almost ripe, and Zhuang Haiyang was not the first to taste it.
Instead, he handed the cut mutton to the little girl who was also swallowing saliva and said, "Mengmeng, do you want to eat it?"
"Yes!"
"That's good! This piece of mutton, let Meng Meng taste it for Uncle Meng to see if it's delicious?"
"Well, I'll taste it. Thank you uncle!"
The girl, who didn't know what politeness was, didn't dislike the mutton being pinched in her hand by Zhuang Haiyang, and swallowed it directly. As the mutton burst into a fiery fragrance in her mouth, the little girl squinted and said, "It's delicious!
The crowd who heard this also burst out laughing. And Zhuang Haiyang also started directly, cutting the mutton that had been roasted into pieces and putting it on a plate that had been prepared for a long time. He gestured directly, "Nuke, Will, try my craft." ”
"Thank you, boss, then we're welcome. ”
Jenuk, who pinched a piece of lamb chops and nibbled directly, felt the aroma of mutton burst in his mouth when he took a bite. While he was fascinated, he still gave a thumbs up in an instant and said, "BOSS, your craftsmanship is amazing!"
"Yes, boss. But I think the quality of this mutton is also very good, and there is no peculiar smell!"
As Will said this, Zhuang Haiyang also knew that the peculiar smell he was referring to was the smell of mutton. Although when marinating, he used some spices to remove the smell. But in fact, this is also the taste of the lamb itself.
"Yes, you think this kind of roasted whole lamb should be liked as a staple of the party, right?"
"It's true! It's just that I'm worried that when the time comes, a few roasted whole sheep may not be enough to eat!"
"That's okay! as long as the guests like it, we can bake a few more. In fact, they are also good salesmen. When they taste the lambs from our pasture, they will also give us free publicity. ”
Although a lamb can be sold for a lot of money, for Zhuang Haiyang, the number of meat sheep raised in the pasture is quite large. Some of them should not be sold for a short time when they are ready to sell.
In this case, if more people can taste the deliciousness of this mutton, Zhuang Haiyang believes that when the lamb is sold, it can also be sold at a higher price. For many mutton lovers, they are still willing to spend money.
While eating the roasted whole sheep, Zhuang Haiyang asked people to bring a few bowls of haggis soup that had been boiled for a long time, only a little salt was added, but the soup was extremely delicious. Even Will and Janouk, who had drunk it, were full of praise for this.
The meat peeled from the sheep's head is also eaten as a cold dish. At first, the two of them thought that this was the meat peeled off the sheep's head, which seemed a little uncomfortable. But after tasting it, I was also conquered by this deliciousness.
In the end, both of them sighed: "BOSS, it seems that your food culture is really amazing." ”
"In fact, in my country, the most popular way to eat mutton is shabu-shabu. Later, when it comes to winter, I will invite you to eat mutton hot pot. At that time, you will know that is the real deliciousness. ”
With the interest of the Internet age, more and more foreigners have begun to know how famous Chinese cuisine is. In many foreign cities, there are corresponding Chinese restaurants. It's just that there are still a few authentic Chinese restaurants after all.
Having tasted Zhuang Haiyang's cooking skills and the taste of the first batch of meat sheep raised, Janok and Will both believed that these lambs could be sold for a good price. This also means that the added value of the ranch's brand will also be dramatically increased.
When they left the ranch, they both had a good meal. Correspondingly, for Wang Yanming and others, eating the noodles cooked with haggis soup, everyone also said with emotion: "This soup also has the taste of haggis, which is really good!"
"Yes, the boss's craftsmanship, I really don't want to say. The proprietress is blessed. ”
For everyone's praise, Zhuang Haiyang shook his head and said: "It's not so much that my craftsmanship is good, it's better to say that the ingredients are good." The concubine and sister-in-law have seen it before, and the secret recipe I mentioned is not a secret recipe at all, is it?"
"Well, this mutton tastes really different from what I used to eat. In particular, there is no smell, but a hint of sweetness. Such a good mutton, I believe these foreigners will definitely like it. ”
"That's nature! I'm going to sell these lambs in the future. If I can't sell it here, I slaughter it and refrigerate it, and then ship it back to China to sell. I believe that these muttons will also be very popular by then. ”
"Well, I think that the restaurant that will open on the island next year can also add such a dish, and it will definitely be very popular. ”
As Wang Yanming said, the cattle and sheep raised in the pasture will become the signature food of the new restaurant on the island. Coupled with the high-end seafood supplied by Zhuang Haiyang, it is difficult for such a restaurant not to make money.
The most important thing is that these ingredients have no semicolon except this one. Thinking of these, Wang Yanming and others also felt that Zhuang Haiyang may have had a long-term plan from the day he bought the ranch. This business is not a loss!
