"Sheep... Sheep... Mutton? Hearing Hua Mian's answer, Xiao Cui's expression suddenly changed, speaking of sheep, isn't it the kind of snow-white fluffy little animal raised by Concubine Yan? Xiaocui once met the maid in the palace with Concubine Yan walking with a sheep when she went out to run errands with Hua Mian, and remembered that it also had a very cute voice.

"Sheep and cattle are an important animal husbandry industry in Beilin", Hua Mian told Xiaocui and a few of them about the knowledge about Beilin that he had just heard from His Highness Eleven.

"Especially the meat of this part is soft and tender, and you look at this piece of meat here", Hua Mian said, pointing to the red and white part of the mutton in Xiaocui's hand, "The meat here is the best, fat and thin, and the fat is evenly distributed, so it is perfect for making skewers."

"But this meat always has a weird taste, obviously Sister Huamian marinated the meat so early, this taste can't be covered up with sauce", Xiao Cui muttered, obviously not liking this taste.

"It's called the smell of mutton, and you'll love it when it's grilled with special spices," says Hua Mian, placing the skewers on the iron rack.

When the flame comes into contact with the meat, the outer layer of the meat slowly climbs up to a layer of brown, and small oil bubbles come out of the meat, making a 'squeak' sound when it encounters the fire.

Hua Mian rotated a handful of meat skewers in her hand on the iron frame, and at the same time used a spoon to take out a little yellow powder from the bowl at hand, and carefully sprinkled it on the meat skewers, the powder touched the meat, and a wonderful aroma spread in the room with the rise of white smoke.

Xiao Cui raised her head, took a deep breath and exclaimed: "It's so fragrant, Sister Huamian's meat called mutton, is it so fragrant after being roasted?"

Hua Mian continued to flip the meat skewers in her hand, kept sprinkling what kind of yellow and white powder she wanted, and answered Xiao Cui's question: "Not only mutton, many ingredients will become different flavors after different production methods, and what the taste of the ingredients themselves is only its basis, and it is the charm of cooking to be able to change it into different dishes through production."

Hearing Hua Mian say this, Xiao Cui suddenly laughed, and said while laughing: "Sister Hua Mian, what you said reminds me of the moon viewing banquet."

"Huh? What the? If I remember correctly, the moon viewing banquet was mainly based on fish dishes, and mutton was not used in any of the dishes.

"It's Sister Huamian at the moon viewing banquet, Sister Huamian is also like these ingredients? After putting on makeup, I became a completely different person."

Hearing Xiaocui mention this, Hua Mian also thought about it herself, and indeed just like she said, she will also produce different changes like ingredients.

After talking and laughing, a barbecue-based dish was prepared, and Xiao Jin and Xiaoyin walked out of the kitchen with two large food boxes, Hua Mian took the newly grilled meat skewers from the barbecue grill and put them on the plate, and called Xiaocui and the two to sit at the table together.

“……”

On weekdays, Xiao Cui, who has always commented when she eats something delicious, eats it directly, doesn't care about talking, roast mutton, grilled squid, grilled chicken, skewers after skewers, and her mouth can't stop.

Concubine Jing, who was dining in the room at the same time, also praised the roast mutton, "It turns out that this is mutton, and it is the first time that this palace has eaten such a novel taste", and at the same time turned to Sikong Yue and said: "You said that you eat mutton every day in Beilin?" ”
