The carp doesn't need to be too big, two or three catties are enough, but the mutton should be particular.

Now the common mutton on the market is a breed of meat sheep, such as Boer goat, adult rams can weigh up to 200 catties, farms are generally slaughtered in six months, and the weight is as high as sixty or seventy catties - and six months of lamb meat tastes very tender, but there is no meat aroma at all, okay?

It's like a white pig is far inferior to local pork, and the best local pork is to pay attention to the "pigs of the next year", that is, the feeding time is more than a year, and it is called a fragrance when you eat it!

Therefore, the mutton that Lin Yi asked to use should be an adult white goat, and the mutton must have a strong smell when cooked, and the meat should be rotten but not pusular after cooking, and it still maintains a good chewiness.

Such a requirement may be a bit troublesome for ordinary people - who can see what kind of mutton that has been slaughtered on the meat rack on the market is? But this requirement is not a matter at all for the Yang family - there is a kind of food called special offerings!

The special supply of ingredients, kitchen equipment, and even the help of Lin Yi are all special people.

For all the requirements such as the three steps and one post in the Xishan villa area, and the search for the Yang family's villa, Lin Yi is extremely cooperative-what can you do if you don't cooperate?

Don't toss, it's serious to finish cooking and leave!

Wash the mutton, cut it into large pieces and throw it into the clay kettle to cook - this clay kettle is guaranteed by Yang Tingting herself before it is allowed to be used!

After boiling for two hours in one go, seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, Lin Yi took out the mutton, let it cool naturally, and then cut it into small pieces. At the same time, the processing of that live carp began.

This live carp is also a special supply, although it is not a wild carp, but it is not fed feed during the breeding process, but grows naturally under low-density conditions, and the taste is certainly better than the farmed carp on the market.

Kill the fish, remove the gills, scrape the scales, in one go, a fish only took three minutes to kill clean, rinse with water, stuff the mutton into the fish's stomach one by one, and additionally use water chestnuts, carrots, mushrooms to dice, together with ginger shreds, garlic slices into the fish belly, directly put on the plate on the steamer - theoretically, the best effect is to directly use the pottery kettle and steamer, but now there is no suitable caliber of the steamer, so the ordinary steamer is used, but the pot is the mutton soup cooked in the pottery kettle just now.

Fish is the easiest to cook, like carp, steamed over high heat for seven or eight minutes, and the fish can be steamed. However, Lin Yi chose to steam the fish on high heat for five minutes, the fish was basically cooked, and then steamed on low heat for three minutes, in order to keep the taste of the mutton and the taste of the fish just right mixed - in fact, according to Yiya's original practice, after the fish is steamed, it will directly "draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle", leaving only the heat absorbed by the bronze kettle itself, which will continue to provide heat for the soup in the kettle, and it can be boiled for about three or two minutes.

It's theoretically the same anyway.

"Open the meal, serve the food!" Lin Yi opened his mouth and shouted after turning off the small fire.

"The old man is still talking to people. The assistant chef is actually the standard chef of the villa, and glanced at Lin Yi dissatisfied. Are you a cook, where is the reason why the cook is urging the master to eat? It can only be that the master says that he is going to eat, and the cook slips on the food!

"You can't put this away, you have to eat it while it's fresh!" Lin Yi said, "What about Yang Tingting?"

The assistant chef had no choice but to call Yang Tingting, of course Yang Tingting had to follow Lin Yi's request, after all, she specially invited Lin Yi to surprise her grandfather today, of course, she couldn't miss the best taste.

The time was just right, Lin Yi didn't turn off the fire, and directly used a cage cloth to cushion it, and took the plate of steamed fish out of the pot.

When steaming the fish, Lin Yi pulled a few very shallow knife edges on the fish, and now the knife edge has just been turned up, indicating that the heat is just right, if the heat is over, the fish will all be turned over and rot into a large piece.

Take out the sauce you have just prepared, splash it on the fish with a spoon, and then put a few shredded green onions.

A plate of fish-belly mutton, accompanied by four dishes of light cold dishes, and finally a white fungus lotus seed soup, sent out of the kitchen with a smoke, as for how to eat and evaluate over there, Lin Yi ignored it, just set up a small wok, fried a little leftover mutton, and then boiled the mutton soup in the pot, and put two bowls of hand-rolled dough sheets.

"Come on, you can't be a cook and treat your stomach badly. Lin Yi smiled and beckoned to help the cook.

"Hey, do you still have the heart to eat?" the assistant chef shouted a little anxiously, "You don't even taste your dish out of the pot, what if the taste doesn't taste right and the old man is not happy to eat it?"

"Then what can I do? You won't lock me up and squat in the class room, right?" Lin Yi laughed, it's not ancient now, even if it's ancient times, I haven't heard that you have to cut it because you don't have the right taste to cook for the emperor.

"Tsk, you...... What a fragrant taste, mutton soup noodles?" The assistant chef wanted to say more, but seeing that Lin Yi had already put out the hand-rolled noodles in the small pot, the rich smell of mutton suddenly came to his nose, and he couldn't help but make people's appetite move.

It is said that mutton is meat, and many people can't even stand the fishy smell of mutton and choose not to eat mutton, but the fishy smell also counts how to do it. If it is not done well, the smell is unbearable, but if it is handled properly, the smell will become a unique flavor, which can make people salivate when they smell it.

For example, today's mutton, Lin Yi was boiled in a pottery kettle for two hours, the fishy smell in the meat has begun to change, from the simplest fishy, to become fragrant, and then after the onion, ginger and garlic stir-fried, the size of fennel and pepper, soy sauce to remove the fishy, the fishy completely turned into a strong fragrance, and finally the mutton soup boiled in the pot, the handmade dough sheets were boiled over high heat, and simmered over low heat until the noodles were cooked soft, infected with all the fragrance of mutton, and melted in the mouth!

Such a bowl of noodles seems simple, but it is the easiest to make people appetite, let go of the belly and eat hard, and you will feel that you haven't eaten enough after eating!

The assistant chef ate a big bowl in one go, but he was still unsatisfied, smacking his lips, he wanted Lin Yi to make another pot, but he was embarrassed to open this mouth - mutton soup noodles are not a complicated meal, and he is also a cook, how can he be embarrassed to let others help him make another one?

What's worse is that Lin Yi eats unhurriedly, and he looks at it by himself, which is really annoying......

"Lin Yi, Lin Yi, my grandfather called you!"

At this time, Yang Tingting ran in in a hurry, looking at the excited pace, it was obvious that the old man was quite satisfied with the fish-belly mutton. And as Mr. Qian Zhongshu said, the old man has eaten a good egg, so he wants to see the chicken that laid the egg......
