Chapter 54: Roasted Whole Sheep and Harrison Jones
As the delivery man pushed the truck out of the manor, Stormwind Town quickly became lively, and unlike the Winter Veil Festival in previous years, every awakening was accompanied by anticipation, and the drowsiness and laziness that could not be dispelled by the cold winter quickly retreated in front of the food.
Hearing that Anduin was going to make a barbecue dish in public, the explorers and architects waited in the hall early, and by the way, they quickly eliminated all kinds of xiaolongbao as usual, so that the two merchants who heard the news could only continue to eat bread and look at the rows of empty cage drawers, puzzled.
"What does that do?"
"How do I know?"
The bearded dwarf stood beside the two of them and explained very kindly: "Those are the cages of steamed buns, I heard Count Anduin say that if you want to eat the most authentic xiaolongbao, you must use a cage drawer made of bamboo, so that the steamed buns will have the fragrance of bamboo, but the country of panda people is very far away from the Holy Empire, and only a few merchant ships pass through the surrounding area every year, and Count Anduin can't find much Hsinchu, so Xiaolongbao can only be supplied in limited quantities." ”
Hera Tieli, who eats the most, is still a little unsatisfied: "These days when I lived in the Hearthstone Hotel, I had to eat xiaolongbao every morning, all kinds of tricks changed, but my favorite is Tianjin xiaolongbao, the thin skin and big filling are full of fragrant, it is really enjoyable to eat, but Shanghai xiaolongbao is also good, not only the meat is fresh and tender, but also the juice is rich, when I used to eat, I didn't know the method, just cared about stuffing it into my mouth one by one, or later Earl Anduin taught me the correct way to eat, first break the skin and suck the soup, and then eat the meat filling." ”
As he spoke, the bearded dwarf couldn't hold it back, and began to describe it to himself, hearing that the two merchants were stunned, forcibly pressed their appetites, and quietly left this land of right and wrong, they didn't intend to ask what the taste of xiaolongbao was, but after the bearded dwarf said this, he remembered the improved barbecue that he had not tasted.
The irascible merchant stood aside, his face cloudy: "Isn't it just ten gold coins?" I'll dig! I'd like to see what kind of tricks he can play with Anduin. ”
The shrewd merchant was silent, still haunted by the window, and thus failed to recuperate his spirits, and his eyes were slightly dark, and when he saw old Frye approaching slowly, he nodded lightly and said hello.
Old Frye smiled at the two of them and said, "How have you two thought about the supply method proposed by Earl Anduin?" ”
The irascible merchant snorted coldly, which meant self-evident, and the shrewd merchant cheered up and shook his head firmly: "It is impossible for us to agree to his conditions, even if he is killed, he will not release the goods, and we have absolutely no reason to supply him, the market of the white-clothed fortress is already huge enough, and we can't give up a large business for small profits." ”
Old Frye was a little surprised by the resoluteness of the two: "You have eaten xiao long bao, and you still think that the Hearthstone Inn has no possibility of causing a sensational fortress?" ”
The grumpy merchant frowned, and the shrewd merchant looked puzzled: "When we came down, the xiaolongbao had already been eaten, Mr. Fry, could it be that you have already tasted xiaolongbao?" ”
"Indeed, earlier, President Jones personally brought a xiaolongbao to my room, and I thought you all had it!"
Old Frye realized that he had misunderstood something, Jones knew him, so he deliberately kept a copy, as for the other two merchants, they did not have this mouthful, as if they were treated differently, secretly sulking, and stared silently at the corridors on both sides, waiting for the appearance of the main master.
Crunch!
Anduin, who had finally made the basic preparations, stepped into the door of the front hall with one foot, and immediately saw a pair of eager eyes, all focused on him, obviously paying special attention to the barbecue dishes.
Jones leaned against the bar and asked helplessly, "Earl Anduin, you can't keep it a secret now, can you?" ”
Anduin smiled slightly, and immediately took out an iron basin from the badge space, which was filled with slightly darker fresh spice water, and a young red goat that had already been slaughtered and scalded soaked in it. Everyone looked around and found that the surface of the mutton showed the color of water, and the air was filled with a hint of fragrance, indicating that the goat had been marinated by Anduin with a special seasoning for a long time.
"I can't reveal the recipe for the seasoning in the water, but this one-year-old goat has been soaked for five hours!"
Anduin took the lamb out of the water, placed it on the board, and placed several spices around him before he continued, "I'm going to make a roasted whole lamb today to thank President Jones for his kindness and for bringing the first stable customers to the Hearthstone Inn. ”
In front of so many people, Jones waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "Where, where, I'm just for vacation." ”
Anduin did not complain about this statement, because at the beginning Jones tried to say that he and Archbishop Kidd were like each other, Anduin never forgot that this elaborate roasted whole lamb was also to thank Jones for his efforts.
Seeing the situation, the irascible merchants and the shrewd merchants already felt that Anduin would not bring ordinary barbecue food, so he followed old Frye to a very close position, wanting to know what the spices on the table were, and Anduin did not intend to deliberately conceal it, and even gave their names one by one.
"Although this goat has been marinated for a long time, it needs to be coated with various spices to deepen the flavor before it is officially baked."
Anduin introduced the process of mixing various spices into the refined salt and evenly spreading every corner, a process repeated three times, and Anduin meticulously applied all directions each time until the white fat on the surface of the goat became crystal shiny due to sufficient rubbing.
This process is not only lengthy and boring, but everyone, including the two merchants, stared intently at Anduin's movements, his smearing technique was like a massage, kneading the refined salt seasoning into the meat, Jones and others, who had already experienced the new barbecue, immediately realized that this goat was definitely more flavorful than party barbecue, and as for the shrewd businessmen and the irascible businessmen, they began to take this extraordinary barbecue meal seriously.
Hera Tieli couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine the taste of this roasted whole lamb, which can make so many spices blend without conflict, I think only Earl Anduin has this skill." ”
Hearing this, Anduin smiled softly, where is his craftsmanship good, it is clearly the precious crystallization of Chinese culture, roasting whole sheep keeps pace with the times again and again, and has already brought Anduin an incomparably perfect way of ingredients, all he needs to do is to catch the medicine according to the prescription.
As for the evaluation of the bearded dwarf, the shrewd merchant and the irascible rich merchant did not express any objection for the first time, and the Hearthstone Inn was able to attract Jones to open a storm branch, obviously very good at the taste and convenience, as for whether they could afford this evaluation, they had to wait until they actually ate the so-called roasted whole lamb before making a judgment.
Subsequently, Anduin put away most of the seasoning, then spread the goat on the steel grill, used the wire to tie the goat's limbs to the four corners of the grill, and then made several spine spine stable, and then picked up a brush, in order to stretch the smooth goat meat, brush it with soy sauce and sugar, wait for the sauce precipitation to blend with refined salt, and finally brush it with crystal sesame oil, which is considered to be completely ready for roasting.
At this moment, the color of the lamb on the grill alone can arouse everyone's appetite, not to mention the tangy aroma, which is more and more mouth-watering.
Nilasek couldn't help but sigh: "The Count of Anduin really has a heart, not counting the five hours of marinating in advance, it takes a lot of time just to season it at the end, and it is no wonder that he said that roasting whole sheep is a big dish, and judging from the incomparably complicated preparations, he really deserves this title." ”
Everyone agreed, but Anduin put away the grill, shook his head and smiled: "The preliminary work is completed, but the stage of real skill testing has just begun, if the final roast is broken, no matter how perfect the seasoning is, it will affect the final taste of the finished mutton." ”
Then, Anduin came to the iron furnace surrounded by loess, this improvised baking prop, with only a few exposed holes, he poured a large pile of charcoal on the lower layer of the iron furnace, lit it, and waited until the smoke cleared through the opening at the top of the iron furnace, and then with the cooperation of Jones and others, fixed the grill in the heated iron furnace.
"Count Anduin, when it comes out of the oven, you can eat the whole roasted lamb?"
Old Frye mistakenly thought that the roasting stage only needed to be overheated, and Anduin shook his head heavily: "Of course not! During the barbecue process, I need to control the temperature of the oven all the time, not too high nor too low, and when the mutton is roasted to six medium rare, I also need to take out the grill and change the knife to brush the oil, one to help the meat to cook thoroughly, and the other to promote the deepening of the flavor, after that, I also need to brush the sesame oil twice again to ensure that the mutton is always fresh and tender, and strengthen the taste. ”
Not only old Frye, but the others were also very surprised, this meal of roasting the whole sheep was really a great effort, and the crowd did not disperse, but watched Anduin from time to time stir up the fire to increase or decrease the charcoal, and the mutton fat fell into the iron basin. With the assistance of the system, he was able to perfectly observe the heat and regulate the temperature, and the rich aroma that was originally sealed in the Loess Railway also swayed again with the appearance of oil, even if the cold wind could not stop it.
The two merchants had nothing to say now, and in their understanding, there were not many dishes that took so much time and so much energy, and the smell of fat alone could make the two of them believe that the taste of roasted whole sheep was definitely not bad, but to what extent it could be reached, the two who were hungry could not imagine.
I don't know how long later, in the eager waiting of everyone, Anduin gave an order suddenly, and Jones, who had already prepared, immediately turned on the top switch and took out the piping hot grill.
And Anduin completely ignored the amazement of others, quickly raised the knife forward, the blade started from the head, to the tail and ended, from left to right dozens of slashes in a row, the knife marks were uniform and straight, the width was not different, and the depth was slightly different, not only to ensure that the mutton was not broken, but also to make every part of the roast, if he had not become a formal priest, his physical fitness was far beyond ordinary people, and he would definitely not be able to do this level.
The process of changing the knife and brushing the oil must be fast, otherwise it will affect the taste of the meat, everyone saw Anduin put away the knife, and the sesame oil wooden brush appeared in his hand, and the smearing was completed quickly, and then helped Jones put it into the iron furnace, the whole process was even less than two minutes, and Jones's palm was burned red by the grill, this injury was naturally nothing to him, but in the eyes of others, especially the three merchants, he felt more and more that this roasted whole sheep was not easy to come by.
Old Frye whispered to the two of them, "What are you thinking about now?" ”
This time, the shrewd merchant fell silent, and the irascible merchant said directly: "I know that Count Anduin wants to prove that his Hearthstone Inn has the potential to break the rules, but we still don't need to go far!" ”
Hearing this, old Frye nodded slightly, and continued to watch Anduin concentrate on regulating the heat, taking the sheep to brush the oil, every time the grill is baked, the color of the mutton will change significantly, especially the last time before the baking, the meat quality has become beautiful and golden, which makes people unable to press the appetite, but Anduin's energy is completely concentrated in the last ten minutes, because whether the taste of mutton can be sublimated depends on whether this short 600 seconds can create a wonderful chemical reaction.
Anduin became more and more serious about regulating the heat, and everyone quietly watched from the sidelines, so that the ten minutes passed extremely slowly, but it added an excellent flavor to the baked mutton, the golden and crispy skin, so that everyone could move their index fingers at a glance, as for the thick meat aroma, it had already reached the point of being extraordinarily attractive, hooking the onlookers, involuntarily stepped forward, looking at their appearance, it was clear that they wanted to cut off their beard.
Seeing this, Anduin felt that he had to speak: "Everyone, don't be impatient, although there is not much mutton, but everyone is guaranteed to have a share, but this roasted whole lamb is to thank President Jones, so this first knife should be moved by him!" ”
Jones took the sharp knife and fork handed by Anduin, forced the others to take three steps back with a sharp gaze, and then walked briskly to the grill, constantly thinking about where to start, but this move was strongly protested by everyone, but Jones enjoyed it, and waited for a while before making a final choice, and as soon as the blade moved, he cut into the crispy skin, and the meat inside was extremely soft, and he cut off a piece with almost no force.
Jones looked at the cut of meat with some curiosity, showing a look of amazement, if Anduin had a slight poor control of the heat, he would definitely not be able to achieve the point of being browned and crispy.
"President Jones, it won't taste good if you wait any longer."
In the face of Anduin's sincere eyes, how could Jones, who had long been impatient, continue to wait, swallow directly into his mouth, feel the crispy skin and teeth colliding, the soft meat is full of aroma, at this moment, Jones, who really ate the roasted whole sheep, realized what is so special about the so-called "big dish", it must not only have a peerless flavor, but also integrate the energy and hard work of the producer, so that he can eat delicious at the same time, but also immerse himself in the human touch that wraps his heart.
Jones was completely satisfied, and along with the favorability value above his head.
