Chapter 505: The Whole Sheep Feast
Whole sheep feast, as the name suggests, is to make different dishes with different cooking methods according to the distribution of the muscle tissues of the whole sheep's torso.
Unlike roasted whole sheep, the whole sheep feast will be used on almost all edible parts of the sheep, and the number of dishes varies from more than 30 to more than 80 varieties. Although it is called a whole sheep feast, the ingredients used are far more than one sheep, and if only one chef is allowed to do it, it will not be able to finish it even if it is exhausted.
"Grandpa, isn't it a bit exaggerated to make a whole sheep feast? Besides, these sheep in our family shouldn't be enough, right?" Jiang Feng looked worried.
There is only one old man, and he must be well cared for.
"It's not a particularly serious whole sheep feast, just slaughter a sheep and burn all parts to make a few dishes. The old man said.
"Go and slice the pork belly and call your dad in to get sauerkraut. The rest of the people told them what they should do, why don't they all gather around the yard, and clean up the places that should be cleaned, and they are all twenty-nine, and the house is still a mess, as if they didn't see it. ”
"Also, Xiao Feng will go to the town to call your grandma back and help her get her things when you finish processing the pork belly. If your grandmother didn't buy the goose, you would have bought it, and tomorrow they would have closed the store. The old man instructed.
"Didn't Jun Lian and Jun Qing come back with two geese, and what are they going to do with the braised geese?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.
Although the time-honored braised goose in the town is good, it is far worse than the old man's dish. Basically, no one cares about it every year, and in the end, it is eaten by Grandma Jiang alone.
"Your grandmother loves to eat. The old man put on an apron and began to process the pork, "Also, buy two more bags of flour and come back, at the beginning of this year, there will be more dumplings, and there will not be enough flour at home." ”
"Okay grandpa. Jiang Feng nodded and said that he had written it down and went outside to announce the decree.
After receiving the order, everyone in the Jiang family returned to their places, they should enter the kitchen, and they should go back to the hall and hall.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Zaide, who went to Li Cuihua's house next door to get the water, returned smoothly, although Li Cuihua said that he was going into the water a little, but there were definitely a lot of them, and there were five or six pairs of them. Jiang Feng wondered if other people knew that the old man would use pig water to make lo-mei every year, so he took all his own pig water.
Because the pig was brought back by Jiang Zaide, the glorious and arduous task of dealing with the pig was naturally handed over to him.
The party Jiang Zaide said: I regret it, and now I regret it very much.
When Jiang Feng finished washing the pork belly and put on the down jacket and walked out of the kitchen to find Grandma Jiang in the town, Jiang Zaide, who was not skilled in business, was still sitting in the yard cleaning the pig's intestine with a depressed and regretful face.
Jiang Feng hadn't seen this kind of familiar scene for a long time, thinking that when the four brothers were still learning to cook, they all sat in a row in the courtyard to wash their large intestines together.
"Brother De, rub harder, otherwise the taste will not be clean, remember to rinse with water at least twice after rubbing. Jiang Feng reminded after observing Jiang Zaide's passive sabotage method of washing the large intestine.
Jiang Zaideok sighed deeply, not knowing how the plot became what it is now.
"Little brother, where are you going?" Jiang Zaide asked.
"Grandpa told me to go to town to get Grandma back and buy some more things by the way. Jiang Feng said.
Seeing that Jiang Feng actually obtained the beauty of the expatriate, Jiang Zaide sighed again with a jealous face: "Little brother, do you know what Grandpa is going to cook for tomorrow night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"
"Grandpa said that this year he mainly made mutton dishes. Jiang Feng said with a smile.
As soon as he heard that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner mainly eats mutton dishes, Jiang Zaide immediately cheered up: "What do you do with lamb dishes? roast whole lamb? grill lamb chops? roast lamb shank? braised lamb?"
"I didn't say what I did, but what Grandpa said was to slaughter a sheep and use all the parts that could be cooked. Jiang Feng told the truth and had nothing to hide.
Jiang Zaide rubbed the pig intestine in his hands fiercely: "Then do you still do nine turns of large intestine this year?"
Jiang Feng counted the large intestine on Jiang Zaide's side: "Grandpa didn't ask me to buy large intestines, it is definitely not enough to make nine turns of large intestines with such a large intestine, I guess I won't do it." ”
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, Jiang Zaide felt that he had no motivation to wash his large intestine in the end.
"Little brother, go to town. Jiang Zaide continued to wash the large intestine with a decadent face.
It was only more than half an hour from the village to the town, because considering that Jiang Feng would have to help Grandma Jiang move things later, Jiang Feng did not ride a bicycle but walked over.
After walking to the town, Jiang Feng first called Grandma Jiang a few times, but no one answered, Jiang Feng had long been used to Grandma Jiang's behavior of not answering the phone. After thinking about it, Jiang Feng went straight to the only activity center for the elderly in the town.
That is, mahjong parlors.
The old man said that Grandma Jiang went to the town early in the morning, and a town is so big that it can be completed in half a day. Jiang Feng had already passed the meal when he arrived at home with the sack containing the big pig's trotters, and if Grandma Jiang was really shopping, she would definitely be able to come back before lunch.
So there is only one truth, today Grandma Jiang mainly went to the town to play mahjong and buy something by the way.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Feng entered the chess and card room, he saw Grandma Jiang.
In the past, the lively chess and card room only opened two tables because everyone was very busy as the Chinese New Year approached. Grandma Jiang was sitting at the mahjong table, touching mahjong tiles in her hand, and there were bags of vegetables and some groceries on the chair behind her, proving that she had indeed come to buy something today.
Jiang Feng noticed that the green vegetable leaves were a little embarrassed because they were squeezed.
"A cake, just right, Huh!" Grandma Jiang pushed the card out.
"Alas, Orchid, why are you nonsense again? You have also improved a lot in your poker skills when you go to Beiping!" the old lady at the same table regretted.
"I have improved, I think you don't usually play cards much, and your card skills have regressed. Grandma Jiang looked happy, "But it's not for me to say, this mahjong parlor in Peking is really different from ours, not only the conditions are good, but the old men and old ladies who play cards are also in good spirits." From morning to night, I didn't get tired at all!"
"Grandma. Jiang Feng saw that Grandma Jiang even had a tendency to start boasting about the mahjong parlor in Beiping, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Yo, Xiao Feng is back, have you bought the pork?" asked Grandma Jiang.
"I bought it, I bought a pig's trotter. At noon today, Grandma Li also sent a pot of pork, saying that several other families in the village had made it for us. Grandpa said, eat pig killing dishes as usual tonight. Jiang Feng said.
"At the critical moment, the neighbors are still reliable, how to say that sentence, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!" Grandma Jiang got up, "Okay, I'll go first, my grandchildren have come to me." ”
Grandma Jiang wants to leave, and the others will not stay, if Grandma Jiang continues to fight like this, their wallets are estimated to be unsafe tonight.
"Grandma, I'll help you get these things. Jiang Feng knew that now was the time for him, a filial grandson, to show his talent.
"Alas, orchid, or your grandson's filial piety, those boys in my family, seeing me lifting things is the same as not seeing, every day I know that staring at the phone is not afraid of bad eyes. One player sighed.
"Yes, it's still the filial piety of the grandson of the orchid family. Another player chimed in.
"Orchid, how do you teach our children how to teach us, and let us learn from them. The last player asked.
"yes, yes. The other two players chimed in in unison.
"What is there to teach, you see how I play cards with you every day, how can I have kung fu to teach children, children are sensible themselves. Our family Jiang Feng has been filial since he was a child, and he is much better than his cousins in this regard. Grandma Jiang smiled from ear to ear.
Jiang Feng and Grandma Jiang left the mahjong parlor.
"Grandma, did Grandpa make a whole sheep banquet before?" Jiang Feng asked, trying in vain to listen to the truth to judge what the old man would do for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in order to cheat better.
"Whole sheep feast?" Grandma Jiang looked confused.
When Grandma Jiang was young, she always believed in the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and basically did not interfere with and intervene in the old man's work, and she didn't know much about the dishes that the old man cooked when he was in a state-run restaurant.
"I don't know if it's a whole sheep feast? I remember when your grandfather and I first got married, there was a time when there seemed to be some kind of celebration or event in the city, and the leader designated your grandfather and Master Huang to do it. That time, it seemed to be all mutton dishes, and it was a special sensation and was even in the newspapers. Grandma Jiang squinted her eyes and couldn't think about it.
"I didn't eat the vegetables, and at that time, the mutton was so expensive, and we didn't raise sheep here. I remember that all the sheep were bought from the north, and the price was very high, and at that time your grandfather seemed to have made a very special dish, called, called ......" Grandma Jiang thought for a long time before spit out a few words, "It's called Mo Whatke or something, it sounds like a foreign name." ”
"Moscow?" Jiang Feng could only think of this.
"No, it's four words, eh, what kind of department is Mo?" Grandma Jiang fell into deep thought.
