"Why is this kiln divided into upper and lower layers?"

The roasted whole sheep was still not ready to be lit, so Xu Mingrui simply squatted with his son and observed the roasting kiln.

At the bottom is the stove, which can be used to burn firewood as well as charcoal.

Above the stove is a kiln belly of about one cubic meter, with a retractable grill and a smoke exhaust vent at the top.

But upon closer inspection, it was found that there was a small oven on each side of the stove.

"Can the lower layer be roasted too? It's just so small, what can you bake? ”

Xu Yin glanced at her uncle, winked at Haohao again, and said with a smile: "I can bake biscuits and bread." Today it was a baked egg tart. ”

Hao Hao cheered: "It's so easy to provoke!" ”

Xu Yin took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, it was almost familiar.

She put on her insulated gloves, pinched the iron ring on the outside of the small oven, and pulled it out, and the small drawer-like oven was pulled out, and twelve egg tarts were neatly arranged inside.

There are also twelve on the other side.

A small oven on both sides can bake twenty-four tarts at a time.

As soon as the egg tart came out of the oven, the milky fragrance tempted Hao Hao to drool: "Sister, the egg tart is so fragrant!" ”

"I'll put it on a small plate for you, let it cool and eat it."

"I'm going to get the plates and tongs."

Xu Mingrui strode back to the house, and after a while, he came out with a clip and a plate.

Also coming out together were Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yanqun.

"I heard that Yin Yin also baked egg tarts? No wonder I say how it smells so good! ”

"Yo! This egg tart is in good shape! It's delicious to look at! ”

At this time, a few small heads poked into the gate of the courtyard, which were left-behind children in the village.

Xu Yin beckoned to them: "Come in and play!" ”

When she grafted fruit trees, she dried the branches cut off the heads of the cherry trees and brought them home for firewood, and the children helped her push the cart.

Xu Yin took them to wash their hands and gave each of them an egg tart.

"Our family roasted a little goat today, you go home and talk to the adults, come over at noon to eat mutton."

The child at the head shook his head: "You can't eat at Sister Yinyin's house." ”

The old people in the family have taught them to go out to play and play, but they can't stay at other people's houses to eat.

"Bring some skewers back later."

Xu Yin also marinated some muscles, there are mutton, there are beef, and after the whole lamb is cooked, the bamboo skewers are skewered on the grill, and the residual temperature of the charcoal fire is used to grill, turn over a few sides, and then sprinkle with homemade seasonings, which is a delicious barbecue lamb skewer and roast beef skewer.

The children licked the sweet lips of the tart after eating, smelled the domineering fragrance in the air, and took a deep breath, it was really fragrant!

The grandparents only said not to eat at other people's houses, but they didn't say that they couldn't bring the meat skewers back, so it should be okay, right?

"Yin Yin, what are you baking at home? Why is it so fragrant? ”

Aunt Guo next door couldn't help but walk in.

The houses at the foot of the mountain, the yards are very large, and the separation between the households is quite far, at least forty or fifty meters apart.

Not long after the neighbor to the east came, the neighbor to the west also came.

Knowing that Xu Yin was roasting a whole sheep, she asked enviously: "A whole sheep gets a lot of money, right?" ”

Xu Yin said: "I asked a friend who opened a store to bring it with me when I bought it, so it is much cheaper than buying it on the market, this one is three hundred and six." ”

"That's cheap!" Jiang Yanqun was surprised, "I remember that there is a mutton restaurant in Nancheng, and the roasted whole sheep is sold for 13,400 pieces, I think it is much smaller than this." ”

"Lamb restaurants are highly profitable."

"Yin Yin, you have this way, you can open a mutton restaurant in the town, and you will definitely make a lot of money."

Aunt Guo, you say a few words, I will say one sentence.

Xu Yin said with a smile: "If you open a store, there are many factors to consider, such as store rent, employee wages, and reasonable profits. ”

That's right!

Opening a store is not that easy either.

"But you have a roasting kiln at home, and if you want to eat it, buy a sheep and come back to roast it yourself, which is much more cost-effective than going out to buy it."

Three hundred and sixty-one tender sheep sounds expensive, but it tastes so fragrant when roasted, and it will not be reluctant to eat a meal once in a while.

"I bought a pheasant a few days ago, and it's in my early 300s!" Mrs. Jiang felt that she had lost a lot, and she couldn't help choking, "A chicken is only a few catties, it's better to buy a whole sheep." ”

"What kind of chicken is so expensive?" Aunt Guo asked in surprise, "It can't be a medicine chicken that grew up eating ginseng, right?" ”

"Where! It's just an ordinary hen, and it doesn't taste as fresh as the Yin family's own freshness! ”

Mrs. Jiang complained.

"So you have to have a way to buy things, and it's easy to be slaughtered without a way." Xu Mingrui summed up, turned his head and discussed with his niece, "Yinyin, if mutton can still be bought, how about helping my uncle order one a year ago?" During the Chinese New Year, Uncle invites you to eat a roasted whole sheep. ”

Xu Yin nodded: "Yes, but I also ordered a small suckling pig for the Chinese New Year, and I will roast a suckling pig for you to taste when the time comes." ”

“……”

Roast suckling pig !!

Xu Yin's baking kiln is famous!

I thought it was like an outdoor stove, I could simmer a sweet potato, roast a chicken and duck or something, but I didn't expect it to be able to make roast whole sheep and roast suckling pig.

There are still ten days before the New Year, they can't imagine what the taste of roast suckling pig is, but the fragrance of roasted whole sheep, people who live in the village have smelled it, the rich and domineering roast mutton aroma, gluttonous people scratch their hearts and lungs.

The family conditions are good, and I can't help but come to the door to ask Xu's father:

"Uncle Mingkang, if I buy a lamb, can I help Sister Yinyin make a roasted whole sheep for me in the days of the New Year? I can pay for the processing fee. ”

"Mingkang, my son's unit sent a frozen leg of mutton and a box of steak for the New Year, and the lamb skewers I tasted at your house that day were really good, but I didn't have a roast kiln at home, so I couldn't make that taste. If Yin Yin has time, can you help us bake it? Half a box of steak is used as a processing fee, and we also pay for the charcoal ourselves. ”

Father Xu did not answer on the spot, but only asked his daughter.

"Yin Yin is not at home?"

"She followed her mother to dig bamboo shoots in the mountains."

Qianqian Village is surrounded by mountains, some of which belong to Qianjian, some of which belong to the next village, and some of which are shared by both villages.

The nearest hill to the village was planted in the early eighties in the name of the village collective, and later contracted to individuals. There are still a few mountains on the periphery that no one has contracted for, and the vegetation on the mountains has always been wild.

The month after the year and the year before the year was regarded as the idle season for the fruit farmers, and they had nothing to do, so they carried bamboo baskets, hoes, and sickles to dig bamboo shoots in several distant mountains.

A year ago, it was the peak season for winter bamboo shoots, and if I was lucky enough to dig up a nest of bamboo shoots, I could dig out several large bamboo shoots one after another, and I could fill the bamboo basket in a short time.

In addition to winter bamboo shoots, spring bamboo shoots can occasionally be dug up.

At this time, the spring bamboo shoots are the most tender and fresh, and they are much more delicious than those that are shaved out after the year.

The price of spring bamboo shoots during the Chinese New Year is also high.

In the New Year's Month, there is a dish made of spring bamboo shoots, which is definitely the finale of the vegetable world.
