"Hey~ I really hunted a wild boar. Han Shaobai was holding a purple clay pot in his hand, and he was standing outside the temple snorting in small sips, and when he saw Liu Mang Wujing and them coming back, he turned his head to look at it.

"Old man Han, are you blind, is this a wild boar?" Han Shaobai's words poked at Wu Jing's sore spot, and he jumped to his feet and scolded.

"Black goat?" Han Shaobai narrowed his eyes and glanced carefully at Jeba's shoulder: "You won't kill the sheep raised by the villagers, will you?"

"Uncle Shi, you are well-connected, do you know where to buy sheep?"

"What's going on?"

"In this way, today we went to hunt wild boars, and as a result, the mastiff dog drove the other people's breeding sheep down the mountain rock......" Liu Mang told what happened.

"Oh. Han Shaobai patted Liu Mang's shoulder: "Leave this matter to me, I used to know a lot of suppliers, they have their own pastures, and it should be no problem to get you a better breeding sheep." ”

"That's good, that's good!"

For those villagers in Qingyun Village whose income is not high, a good breeding sheep is tantamount to their lifeline, and finding a way to solve things finally put down Liu Mang's hanging heart.

"Mang, what about this goat?" Jeba asked, putting the goat down on his shoulder.

Just now, Comrade Jeba's sturdy body played a role, and he carried this goat of more than 100 kilograms up the mountain alone.

"You have to disembowel it quickly, or you won't be able to eat the meat later." Liu Mang looked down and said, "Monk, you help me boil the water." Jeba, you help me hang the sheep. ”

This black goat fell off the cliff and died, and the blood was held in the body, and if it was not dealt with as soon as possible, the meat would be very fishy.

"Senior nephew, wait for these two things to fry me separately. Han Shaobai stretched out his leg and kicked the black goat's buttocks and said.

"Haha, you old man can eat, is it still useful to eat?" Wu Jing, who was about to boil water, laughed.

Han Shaobai refers to the two fist-sized ** hanging behind the black goat's buttocks.

"You're laughing at a fart! Yang Bao is a good dish, don't eat it later if you have the ability!" Han Shaobai's fingers were about to poke Wu Jing's face.

"I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, I'll boil water. ”

Liu Mang smiled, followed Wu Jing to the back kitchen of the temple, and took a boning knife and a few stainless steel basins.

After returning, Jeba had already hung the goat on a tree with a crooked neck in the open space of the temple, and Liu Mang took a knife from the goat's chest to remove the internal organs first.

"Senior nephew, how do you want to eat this sheep?" Han Shaobai asked from a distance, probably afraid that the blood spilled would stain his clothes.

"Uncle Shi, how do you want to eat?"

"It's cold, it's a good season to eat hot pot, or let's have mutton tonight." Han Shaobai thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, then eat shabu-shabu. Liu Mang nodded: "But this sheep is a ram, and the meat quality is not as tender as those lambs." ”

"It's okay, this sheep is so big, can you just take the sheep's brain and sheep's loin's nest?"

'Shabu mutton' is probably the most famous dish in Kyoto after roast duck.

"100 Words of the Old Capital" cloud: "Mutton pot is the most common delicacy in the cold year, and it must be eaten with mutton restaurants." This way of eating is the result of the study and evolution of the nomadic heritage of the north, and it has become a special flavor."

And in the eyes of an authentic gourmet, the mutton eaten by shabu mutton is very particular. It's not like any part of the sheep's body is delicious.

Generally speaking, four parts of a sheep's body are most palatable. They are the big three prongs (the upper part of the hind legs), the cucumber strips (the inner side of the hind legs), the sheep grinding crotch (the buttocks of the tip of the meat), and the lamb loin socket (the front of the hind legs, the part of the lamb waist).

Han Shaobai said that the upper brain and loin of the sheep are the most tender places on the sheep, and the whole sheep is only four or five catties when cut.

"Also, after the sheep treasure is processed, soak it in green onion and ginger water and cooking wine, and slice it for me to keep the hot pot later. Han Shaobai added another sentence.

"Understood. ”

Next, Liu Mang took out the other internal organs of the sheep, put them in the basin, peeled off the whole sheepskin with a knife, and then cut the sheep into pieces according to the part of the sheep, and prepared to wait for the next step of processing.

"Brother Mang, the water is boiling, what else do you want me to do?" After the sheep was finished, Wu Jing ran out and asked.

"Not for now, you can take the entrails and feed them to the dogs. Liu Mang pointed to the sheep lungs and sheep intestines in the basin and said.

"These puppies are in trouble, and the Buddha hasn't settled accounts with them yet. Wu Jing scolded resentfully, but still went with the basin.

"Well, this sheep is too big, a few of us will definitely not be able to eat it for a while, do you want to send some to Uncle Wang?" Liu Mang thought in his heart while cutting the mutton.

"Good boy, I heard from your uncle that you killed someone's ram?" Bu Si walked out with a wine gourd and asked with a smile.

"Master, we didn't mean to. Liu Mang blushed and replied.

"I know you didn't mean to. Such a big breeding sheep, except for two eggs in the crotch, there is nothing delicious to eat, if you want to catch a lamb, don't you?" silently glanced into the basin at Liu Mang's feet: "These two sheep treasures will get me some brine later, and I will have wine." ”

"Uh...... Uncle Shi also takes a fancy to it, why don't you have one for each of you?"

"Mang, what are they fighting for?" asked Jeba, who was helping Liu Mang peel the sheepskin, curiously.

"Yang Bao, that is, sheep **. Liu Mang pointed to the two bloody sheep eggs in the basin and replied.

"Oh my God!" Jeba opened his mouth wide and looked horrified, "What's so good about this?"

"You foreign devil doesn't understand anything. Silently smacked his mouth: "Although the smell of Yangbao is a little fishy, the taste is delicate and tender." Mask the flavor with heavy ingredients and simmer over low heat, and it's a delicious dish. ”

"I can't understand ......," Jeba shook his head, "You Chinese dare to eat anything." ”

"Do you want to eat it yet!" Bu Yu took a sip of wine: "How did your uncle say you want to eat?"

"Soak it in green onion and ginger water and cooking wine, then slice it and make a hot pot. ”

"What's so delicious about that? Listen to me, marinate it in brine for two hours, and finally slice it and dip it in pepper and pepper noodles. What does that taste like...... Tsk!"

"Uh...... All right. ”

Liu Mang replied helplessly, walked into the kitchen with the processed mutton, and was ready to start cutting.

If you want this mutton to be delicious, in addition to paying attention to the charcoal fire in the copper pot, the mutton cut out should be as thin as paper, with a tender taste and melt in your mouth.

Generally, the mutton shabu sold in restaurants is frozen and cut by machine, although the appearance meets the requirements, but the taste is much worse than the mutton cut with fresh meat.

Cutting mutton by hand is a test of the chef's knife skills, and without a few years of hard work and experience of thousands of catties of meat, it can't be cut out at all.

"Uncle Shi, do you have a knife to cut mutton?" Liu Mang asked after looking in the kitchen.

The lamb slices used to cut the shabu-shabu require a special knife, which is similar in shape to a guillotine, with a blade that is much longer than a kitchen knife.

"Yes, in the cabinet on the knife rack, I haven't used it yet. ”
