Chapter 31: The Gourmet
The warriors who went out were quite lucky, and in less than an hour they caught a live sheep and came back.
The sheepskin is a good thing, very warm, but the meat rate of the sheep is too low, just like the goat caught in front of you, about sixty or seventy pounds, but the mutton obtained from killing out is at most fifteen pounds to the sky.
In modern times, it is generally not profitable for the shopkeeper to sell only mutton, there is an unwritten rule that the haggis in the slaughterhouse does not cost money, that is, the offal is free. So mutton soup or something, the owner will enthusiastically recommend eating more haggis.
But at this moment, Su Yang didn't plan to deal with the sheep's internal organs, it was too troublesome, and the fishy smell was too big, and he didn't like it himself.
However, he planned to do the work of killing the goats himself, and immediately asked the warriors to hold the goats down, and he pulled out the boar fangs dagger that had been polished, and then stretched out his hand to measure the sheep's neck slightly, but suddenly stopped.
He ran to get a clay pot, filled it with about half of the water, and then put the clay pot under the sheep's neck, and then suddenly with a wave of his arm, the pig's tooth dagger pierced the goat's throat, and quickly pulled it out.
Suddenly, the blood of the sheep flowed out, like a spring, and all of it flowed into the clay pot, and soon the water inside was dyed red.
If animal meat is to be delicious, it must be cleaned of blood, which is a great test of the slaughterer's skills, especially for large animals, must be killed with one blow, if the first knife is not put away the blood, even if the knife is successful, it will affect the taste of the meat to some extent. This is like the difference between water-injected meat and freshly killed meat.
Su Yang's piercing just now was very successful, and he dried the sheep's blood in a moment, and then he didn't need to go out in person for this work of skinning and dirty. However, he specifically requested that the ribs be kept, which was once again considered to be noble and virtuous......
He was actually most interested in sheep's blood, so he grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it into a clay pot, stirred it with a piece of bamboo, and set it aside. Then let people set up a fire and burn another clay pot with water in it.
Salt and water must be added to the blood, so that when it cools, it will solidify, just like jelly.
I don't know when, the merchant girl has come back, and after grooming, she really looks even more naturally beautiful, but the rest of the men almost ignore the merchant girl, this is the gap in aesthetics.
Although Su Yang is not yet nine years old, his appearance is very in line with the aesthetics of a primitive woman, and he is an absolute primitive male god embryo, which makes his mood extremely complicated, painful and happy.
Soon, the goats were cut out and hung on the trees, waiting to be divided. This matter had to be discussed between Su Yang and Jiang Li, because it was hunted by the people of the two tribes in a joint operation.
He was not greedy, he asked for a hind leg and ribs, as well as mutton fat, and the rest was given to the people of the chaotic tribe. Of course, the head of the sheep was slaughtered and sacrificed, which was the standard procedure for each tribe, and they believed that the sacrifice of animal heads was a sign of devotion to the gods and that they would be able to get more food in the future.
This will make the tribe come up with a lot of fruits, tubers, and wild vegetables that have been picked up, at least today's dinner will be fine.
It's just that Su Yang can't understand it, so many people in the chaotic tribe are busy working outside every day, but they always lack meat, and the mortality rate is very high, thinking about it, it should be the relationship between the internal system and the leader, it doesn't seem to be his business.
He threw the leg of mutton directly to the spring and began to grill the ribs himself, and at the same time beckoned the merchant girl to come and help.
Perhaps because he had already negotiated with the merchant girl and the danger was lifted, Chun did not exclude the merchant girl from approaching him.
"How's the food when you were in the Jiuli Tribe?" Su Yang asked casually.
The merchant girl replied, "You can eat enough, but you eat very little meat, and you have pottery, but it is not as good as your pottery." ”
Su Yang nodded to show that he understood, Jiuli's current situation is a bit similar to the system of the rock tribe, and it has been divided into a family-like model, that is, people with blood relations have formed a group in the tribe, which is a smaller clan unit, but it has not yet reached the level of taking the family as a small collective.
The Shang Nu bloodline clan belongs to the lower class of the tribe, so the living conditions are also very poor, but relatively speaking, it is too much stronger than the chaotic tribe.
The life of Su Yang's rock tribe is actually very poor, but he is trying to find a way to improve it, and he came out to drive the ruins by himself, which is a special case to improve the food, and it cannot be generalized.
The smell of meat began to spread, and the people who followed the ruins before the chaotic tribe had learned to use pottery, and at this time they had already used several clay pots to cook meat.
Su Yang also taught these people how to boil the fat and put it in the soup, and he left half of the fat himself, which will be useful later.
Everyone cooks meat, and he grills lamb chops raw, and eats them before they are completely cooked, so that he can slightly suppress the taste of mutton.
"How does it taste?" Su Yang asked the merchant girl.
But the merchant girl didn't have time to answer, she was munching on lamb chops, without the slightest image of a woman's family, Su Yang shook his head when he saw it, he actually likes gentle and virtuous women, but this request, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve it during this period.
He also started eating it himself, the taste was okay, tender inside and crispy outside, worthy of his name Su Yang.
When the meat was almost eaten, his sheep blood was also cold, and he directly used a bamboo knife to cut it into tofu blocks, which seemed to have a great appetite, of course, he couldn't eat it now, and he couldn't challenge to drink raw blood.
"What are you doing?" The merchant girl licked the ribs, although there were still a lot of ribs left, but her habit since childhood was not to waste.
"Boil the blood!"
Su Yang smiled, and saw that the water in the clay pot over there was boiled and then put for a while, and the temperature was just right at this time. He poured the boiled grease into the clay pot and lit a small fire.
At this time, more people gathered around, curiously looking at what he was going to do next, these people were mainly the six warriors of Yichun, as well as those who accompanied him to the ruins last time, who had already recognized Su Yang as a food expert.
In the past, everyone's habit was to directly insert the bamboo pipe into the body of the prey and drink the blood of the beast raw, but now that Su Yang has another way to eat, he is really curious.
didn't let everyone wait, I saw Su Yang put his hand into the sheep blood jar, gently scooped up a piece of sheep blood, about half the size of tofu, and then used a bamboo knife to cut this piece of sheep blood into pieces, and then put it into a clay pot in a warm water state.
At some point, he picked up a colander made of bamboo, a bowl-shaped spoon with a slit, which was especially suitable for scooping things in the soup.
After waiting for a while, he scooped out the blood with a spoon, the color had changed, there were no pores on the surface, and the heat was just right. Boiling blood is a technical job, the fire can not be large, the water temperature can not be high, the water must not be allowed to boil, the time must be just right, a little too long, the blood will be boiled old, affecting the taste.
The boiled blood can be eaten directly, or it can be fished out and put into cold water, left for a while, and it is almost like tofu when it is fished out.
Of course, Su Yang is eating it directly now, after he fished out the blood, he blew it slightly, and took a bite, which was extremely smooth and tender, and the authentic taste of sheep blood was obviously different from the common duck blood and pig blood in modern times.
"Come on, come on, everyone finds the leaves, and they all come and taste the sheep's blood." Su Yang howled.
The next moment, he scooped out a big spoonful of sheep blood and poured it into the leaf that the merchant girl held in her hand, only to see the merchant girl sniff with her nose, so she grabbed the sheep blood with her hand and sent it to her mouth without any image, and swallowed it after a few clicks, and then screamed that it was delicious!
