Chapter 274: Delicious
"This sheep can be regarded as one of the top sheep breeds in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat it."
Later generations of Li Hao went to Qiongzhou Island to travel to have learned about the goat, according to legend, in ancient times, people already knew that the sheep grown up here are the best, since the Tang Dynasty, here is the best source of the goat.
During the Song Dynasty, the eastern goat even went to the imperial banquet of the imperial palace, and in the years that followed, this kind of sheep became more and more popular with the world, and it was difficult for the average poor person to eat this delicacy. So the people around them hunted and killed, so the real Eastern goats that eat Ganoderma lucidum grass have long been extinct.
Later, people found that ordinary sheep ate rare plants and trees such as tea on the mountain, and then after several generations of reproduction, the sheep born also had the same good taste. Later, people used this method to raise sheep, and the sheep raised were also called Dongshan goats, which were actually not the original Dongshan goats.
But Li Hao, the Dongshan goat they see now is the real purebred Dongshan goat, at this time, this kind of goat is only famous in a small area of Qiongzhou Island, and has not spread to the Central Plains. So this kind of sheep is not completely extinct, and there is still a lot of production.
It's just that there is no large-scale breeding, but a part of the local people's free-range breeding at will. And at this time, when the ordinary people of Dongshan goats come to celebrate the New Year, they can also slaughter one and celebrate together. It's not the state that in the future, even though I raised sheep, I couldn't afford to eat sheep in the end.
After Li Hao built a large farm here, this kind of sheep was listed as a key target. In addition to a large number of breeding, the development of their fertility is also a key focus, Li Hao does not want this characteristic thing to be completely eaten up after it arrives.
"This sheep is no different from the sheep we have seen before, brother-in-law, how do you know that they are the top sheep breed in Datang?" After listening to Li Hao's words, Wu Yue looked at those black goats again, and didn't find anything special about these black goats.
However, after Li Hao's students listened to Li Hao's words, they saw that the eyes of these goats all lit up. The things that can be favored by Li are also known as the top sheep breeds, which are definitely good things, and the same must be true of the Dongshan goat in front of him.
So what should this sheep do, that's what they're focused on. Teriyaki? Steamed? Or a whole sheep feast? It seems like all of them. Following Li Hao's side, they have been able to summarize N methods for sheep practices, and what they make is delicious.
"Tonight we will have a whole sheep feast, and when we eat it, you will know why this sheep is different from the sheep elsewhere." Li Hao said with a smile after listening to Wu Yue's words, this kind of weather is suitable for playing a side stove and eating a whole sheep feast.
Seeing that there were Dongshan goats where he lived, Li Hao couldn't help but move his index finger. In later generations, for some reason, Li Hao was very wary of some places to eat on Qiongzhou Island, so he never ate this famous mutton, and he always felt very regretful.
Now that I finally have the opportunity to taste this delicious taste that has been on the imperial table, and it is a real original deliciousness, as a foodie, how can I hold back?
Dongshan goatskin is thin and thick, the meat is tender and sweet, there is no smell, and the nutritional value is very high. Such as goat milk, goat blood, sheep casing, placenta, etc. are not only delicious, are listed as a delicacy on the table, but also can be used in medicine, with warm and warm, nourishing qi and kidney, curing heat and thirst, and stopping hiccups.
In later generations, there are various ways to eat Dongshan goats, including red stewed Dongshan goats, clear soup Dongshan goats, coconut milk Dongshan goats, dry fried Dongshan goats, side stoves and other ways to eat, each with its own characteristics, all of which are rare and delicious, and must be used.
After years of continuous innovation, the future generations have created a secret goat pot, real white cut sheep, smooth sheep balls, white brine lamb belly, special sheep banquet, crispy sheep face and other 10 kinds of sheep dish series, these dishes are sweet but not greasy, the taste is very delicious.
There are also some foreign shops in the name of Mudong goat, and they also use local materials from other places to launch a series of Sichuan-style dishes: Sichuan-style boiled mutton, flavored steamed suckling sheep, Ganoderma lucidum stewed lamb fetus and other Sichuan-Hunan cuisines.
Li Hao can use these methods, he understands all the methods, Dongshan goats are still produced on his own farm, he can eat how he wants, and he can do what he wants. Don't worry about waiting until you eat only to find that you can't afford to pay.
Compared to the later generations who came here, looking at the various mutton practices in the restaurants on the street, in the end they didn't dare to eat it easily, and now this is the real way to enjoy.
"Whole sheep feast, it's so good! It's been a long time since we've eaten a whole sheep feast! I really want to eat the whole sheep feast! Wu Yue clapped her hands and smiled after hearing Li Hao's words, it seems that since they came to the south, they have not eaten the whole sheep banquet. I spent most of my time here eating seafood, but today I finally got a new twist.
Li Hao's students listened to Li Hao's talk about holding a whole sheep feast, and after packing up their accommodation and luggage, they began to slaughter sheep and prepare to get busy. This kind of occasion doesn't need to be arranged by Li Hao at all, they themselves know what to do.
There are dozens of people in this line, and it takes them more than half a day to complete the whole sheep feast. Li Hao didn't need to interfere in the whole sheep banquet, and after these students had processed the sheep, he held the child and watched his students cook.
They made a dish of red stewed Dongshan goat, and the mutton was golden in color and neatly plated. Li Hao secretly tasted a piece, well, the meat is crispy, lubricated and palatable, the smell is fragrant, very delicious, this taste is much more beautiful than ordinary mutton.
Of course, in this mild weather, a bowl of mutton soup is also good. Even the soup with meat, chew the meat first, then drink the soup, and the stomach is violently lowered in one breath, and the whole body is warm.
Mutton soup can drive away wind and cold, according to traditional Chinese medicine, all human deficiency diseases, have the effect of treatment and tonic, the most suitable for autumn and winter to eat. When you eat it, the meat is more fatty but not greasy, and the soup is clear and flavorful, which is a soup dish worth trying to nourish the stomach and ward off the cold.
How to arrange the whole sheep banquet, Li Hao's students all planned it very reasonably, and they were each responsible for their own part, and the division of labor was very reasonable.
After watching it for a while, Li Hao was still very relieved about the craftsmanship of his students, and went to other places with his children in his arms. A few women in the family and a few other children were also walking around, and the surroundings here were different from what they had seen in other places, so they were naturally a little curious.
In fact, not only Li Hao's women, but also other people who came with Li Hao and them were also extremely curious about all this. It's a tropical region, and it's a completely different climate from the rest of the world.
"Brother-in-law, look! There's also a watermelon! "Among the crowd, the most active is always the youngest Wu Yue. Although Comrade Xiao Wu is not big, this girl has always looked like a domineering president, but she is not as active as Wu Yue.
"This watermelon is grown by our manor, and you can eat it when you want to eat it back to Guangzhou. There are trucks here to deliver them to sell there, and the restaurants in our house also have these fruits for distribution. ”
In addition to watermelons, there are strawberries and pomegranates to eat here at this time, these things are all fruits that Li Hao has introduced over the years, and the first places to plant are his farms, and Li Hao is naturally very clear about these.
"The weather here is suitable, there are all kinds of fruits and vegetables all year round, and the rice here can be grown three times a year. It's a pity that this side has not been developed much before, and a lot of treasure is wasted. ”
Li Hao himself also felt very strange about this question, although Qiongzhou Island had long been included in the scope of the Central Plains power jurisdiction, but the development here has not been on the right path, obviously a place that can be rich in all kinds of things, but has been out of the sight of those rulers, which is also rare.
"Such a beautiful place, I would love to stay here all the time. It's nice that it's not cold all year round. "For people who are afraid of the cold, this kind of weather is their favorite, and Wuyue is no exception.
"Hehe, it's not so comfortable here in the summer, it's very hot in the summer. If you look at the people here, the skin on their bodies is darker, and the reason is because the summer here is too hot, and it is not cold all year round. Li glanced at Wu Yue and couldn't help but tease her.
"Yikes! If you still have this problem, then I'll come here in winter to play. After listening to Li Hao's words, Wu Yue stuck out her tongue and replied. She still loves beauty more than enjoyment. If you stay here because you like this side, and end up being as black as the woman here, then you might as well kill yourself.
The people on Qiongzhou Island have darker skin, and Li Hao thinks that the reason should not only be due to the weather, but also to the fact that this side is too close to the sea and often blows the sea breeze. The sea breeze here is salt-eroded, which hurts the skin the most, and people along the coast seem to have darker skin.
In later generations, Qiongzhou Island has roughly become a relatively deformed place in Li Hao's impression, and the economy here has not developed much, but the housing prices have been taken by a small number of people who got rich first to take a rocket, so this place has also been dragged to death.
These small groups of people who got rich first have raised their housing prices here, but they don't stay here all the time, at most they come over in the winter. Usually it has been vacant, and it can't drive the development of demand here, nor can it improve the economic development here, which is the most criticized place.
But not now, there is no means to speculate on housing prices at this time, and although the traffic at this time has been improved a lot by Li Hao, it is still intimidating. Few people are willing to spend so much time traveling thousands of miles to live here for the sake of a cat's winter.
Except for some of the people who originally lived here, most of the residents here were people who migrated after Li Hao became the head of the march on Lingnan Road. With the addition of some prisoners who were sold, as well as people from the salt works and shipyards, the population of the entire Qiongzhou Island is now over 600,000.
