Chapter 9 Delicious Roasted Whole Lamb
By the time they returned, it was getting dark. At this time, the tribe slowly became lively, and several bonfires were set up on the grass in front of the tribe, and the people were full of people, and the whole tribe came.
Seeing them come back, Batu came over with a smile and said, "The harvest is good, and you can still hunt yellow sheep." I'll pickle your daughter-in-law and bring it back with you, so that your father-in-law will be happy. Xiao Qin is good himself, he usually doesn't see it. ”
Qin Xiuwu looked at the two sisters embarrassedly, Ruoyou was okay but only had a smile in her eyes, while Ruolan's heartless girl had already leaned back with a smile. "That uncle, this is Ruoyou's hunting, I was unlucky today and didn't catch the prey."
When he said this, Qin Xiuwu felt that it was a shame, a manly man, and he was compared to a little woman while hunting, and his face was lost.
"That's not bad, it's your luck to have such a capable daughter-in-law, but you have to feel distressed."
Qin Xiuwu could only divert from this topic and asked, "Why is it so lively today." I haven't heard of any holiday. ”
At the mention of this, Batu's face was a little gloomy. "It's not to say goodbye to you, thank you for taking care of the children for the past two years."
Qin Xiuwu only knew the reason, he lowered his head a little disappointed, and said, "It turns out that you all know." ”
Batu sadly touched Qin Xiuwu's head. "Silly boy, how can we not know that you have been teaching for two years. I didn't mention it before, but I didn't know the exact time. Now that your daughter-in-law has come to pick you up, how can we not know.
You don't have to be sad, in the words of your Han people, 'there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed', and we are very satisfied that you can come here to teach for two years. As for the future, who knows. Maybe the next teacher to come here will be as good as you. ”
He paused and said happily;
"Boy, you are blessed today, this time it is the best master of the tribe who roasts the whole sheep, Daddy Bayan. He is nearly 60 years old this year, and he has been roasting whole sheep for more than 40 years. Hurry up, Daddy Bayan is waiting for you to come and show you his exquisite skills. ”
Qin Xiuwu roared happily, "Really, that's really my blessing." Let's go over and see. ”
As he spoke, he pretended to inadvertently take Ruoyu's hand and ran over. Ruoyou shook it lightly twice and didn't shake it off, so there was no objection. Ruolan covered her mouth and snickered, she didn't expect her brother-in-law to look like a wood, and he had such a clever side.
Seeing the three of them coming, the young man around Bayan couldn't help but coax, "Dad, Teacher Qin is here, let's start quickly."
"Roast whole sheep" is the supreme meal of the Mongolian people, and it is the most exquisite traditional dish at the banquet, with strong Mongolian characteristics. There are two ways to roast whole sheep in Mongolia, one is the more common oven-roasted whole sheep with skin.
Another method of roasting is the traditional Mongolian roast of whole sheep - stone roasted whole sheep. This kind of processing technology is more difficult, especially the technology of sheep peeling is different from the daily way of sheep peeling, which is very rare in China.
Today, what Daddy Bayan wants to perform is stone roasted whole sheep, and only this kind of perennial veteran who roasts whole sheep will do this method.
Daddy Bayan laughed, and let people carry the ingredients that had been prepared a long time ago, an eighteen-kilogram wild sheep lamb. This is the best ingredient for making roasted whole sheep, and the usual roasted whole sheep is not seen at all, it is just ordinary lamb.
He looked around at his eyes, smiled proudly, and said, "Little ones are optimistic, this is the most famous method of roasting whole sheep in Mongolia." The bloody excitement has the characteristics of our Mongolian people. Of course, the two girls brought by Teacher Qin, if they look at the blood, they can go to the side to play first. ”
With that, he reached out and stroked the neck of the lamb, and with a knife in his hand, he untied the sheep's head and put it aside, and the blood spurted out a foot high. Suddenly, a group of teenagers exclaimed excitedly.
Then put his hand along the neck of the sheep into the belly of the sheep, grope for a while to remove the internal organs, remove the bones, only in this way can the integrity of the shape of the sheep be ensured. The crowd was fascinated by it, and this technique could only be done by veterans who had been immersed in this technique for decades. If you are a little careless, let alone remove the bones, the bull ear sharp knife in your hand will stab yourself in blood first.
Then, in the eyes of the worship, Daddy Bayan put vegetables, salt and other ingredients in the sheep's body, and then stuffed it with red-hot stones, and this was ready. Next, as long as you observe the roast sheep from time to time, be careful not to over-roast it.
At this time, the group of teenagers who watched the excitement dispersed in a hurry and ran to other places to play. Only Papa Bayan and his two assistants were left here.
Father Bayan looked at Qin Xiuwu, who was still here, and the smiling old faces of the three of them were full of wrinkles. "Okay, Mr. Qin, you can also go over there to play. Leave it to me here, and you'll have to have a portion when it's baked.
Qin Xiuwu said goodbye to him and ran towards the bonfire with Ruoyou. Seeing him coming, the Mongolian girls and boys enthusiastically pulled him to the campfire and invited him to dance with him. He pulled Ruoyou in his right hand and a Mongolian girl in his left hand, dancing with everyone under the melodious sound of the horse-head qin.
I don't know who started first, and after a while, the cheerful singing echoed around the campfire. At this time, the singing was in the Mongolian language, and Qin Xiuwu couldn't understand it. But he shouted from time to time to the cheerful singing of the girls, and it was very much like that. The out-of-tune voice has a different charm in the beautiful singing.
"Hahaha" Qin Xiuwu pulled the happy Ruoyou in laughter, quickly ran out of the dancing crowd, found a pot of milk tea and poured a cup for Ruoyou, and drank it himself.
It was so painful just now. Singing and dancing were so enjoyable that he felt a little hoarse, obviously singing too happily just now to notice.
After drinking the milk tea, Qin Xiuwu didn't go up again, he found a chair and leaned on it, looking at the people who were still singing and dancing, and there was an indescribable joy in his heart. He dared to say that he had never experienced such a happy day since he was born.
After the whole sheep was roasted, everyone gathered in a circle and waited for Daddy Bayan to distribute it. Father Bayan first took out the stone in the whole sheep and said with a heartache
"It's a pity that it's not winter now, otherwise this greasy, piping hot stone will be quickly reversed between the two hands. Alternating warm compresses on the hands with stones can promote blood circulation, ward off cold and evil spirits, and can also treat rheumatic diseases. In addition, passing on the stone to others also means passing on happiness and beauty to relatives and friends. It's a nice program before a meal.
It's still a bit hot, and it's a pity that the stone is useless. Teacher Qin, why don't you give it a try. ”
Qin Xiuwu looked at the greasy stone and shook his head.
Daddy Bayan said that, seeing that Qin Xiuwu shook his head, he directly took out the stone and threw it aside, and then picked up a knife to cut the whole sheep and distribute it to everyone.
Compared with the stewed whole lamb, the stone-roasted whole lamb retains the original game flavor of the mutton, and the lamb inside is fatty and juicy, and the taste is more delicious. It tastes crispy and tender, fat but not greasy, which makes people addicted.
In addition to roasting whole lamb, there are several hot and cold dishes and dairy products on the table. Among them, there is a hand-handled meat that makes people drool when they lift it.
Select the fat and tender small toothed lamb, unload it into dozens of pieces of bone-in meat according to the bone joints of the sheep, put it in a pot of cold water, and boil it over a strong fire. Take it out and put it into a wooden plate, cut it with a Mongolian knife and eat it, the meat is fresh and tender, the taste is pure, and it is easy to digest. The traditional way of eating is to cook meat without adding salt, and eat the broth with salt and green onions; Some add salt when boiling and dip in the seasoning.
In order to take care of the appetite of Qin Xiuwu and others, it was also equipped with various condiments such as sesame paste, leek flowers, soy sauce, sesame oil, bean curd, and chili oil for the three of them to choose from.
This sumptuous Mongolian feast made Qin Xiuwu's saliva flow uncontrollably just by looking at it.
Qin Xiuwu, a foodie, thought that the next step would be to start. Daddy Bayan asked him to stop for a while, clapped his hands and walked over to a few Mongolian girls holding Hada. Father Bayan and Uncle Batu personally brought Hada to the necks of the three of them.
This made Qin Xiuwu a little flattered, although he knew that it was because he had been teaching for two years, and everyone thanked him, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
When it was time to eat it, he almost didn't let Qin Xiuwu swallow his tongue together, and as for the cultivation etiquette, he didn't know where to throw it.
After he finished eating, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and he couldn't even drink a sip of milk tea. This roasted whole lamb is so delicious.
