056 Hot Pot
The discomfort of hurting life has disappeared, and the sheep is processed as if it were a normal meat cut.
Psychological hesitation and guilt gradually get used to it after the hands, and it seems that they are very used to it.
The entrails of the lamb were dug up and placed in a clay pot, and Saliel began to peel the leg of the lamb, using a sharpened dagger to peel off the sheepskin intact.
Skinning, slicing, meat division, hot water pouring on the sheep's body.
Lawrence quietly assisted Saliel and quickly disposed of the thirty-pound lamb.
The lamb's intestines were discarded, and what could have been used to feed the dogs could now be used as food such as blood sausages.
However, Salil clearly had no intention of doing so, and left it alone, holding up the sheepskin with both hands and smiling.
"This sheepskin can make a dress for Sophia, she's too afraid of the cold."
Lawrence was chopping off the lamb's stiff limbs and said quietly, "Okay." ”
Sariel saw that Lawrence agreed, so she was in a good mood and took the sheepskin aside to be washed.
Boiling a lot of hot water today, Sariel can also wash the sheepskin with hot water.
Lawrence cut the lamb and left some of the jelly overnight so that it would be easier to slice the lamb tomorrow.
Today's meal is fresh mutton, mainly stewed mutton hot pot, four sheep's trotters can be baked in the oven, and there are no conditions for steaming and stewing here for the time being.
"Sariel, leave that sheepskin alone, I'll cut the meat, and you can roast the four leg of lamb."
Saliel looked at Lawrence, "Wouldn't it be nice to just bake it all?" ”
"No, you have to have a sense of ritual to eat today." Lawrence insisted: "The leg of lamb is half full when it's cooked, and then the three of us eat the lamb stew around the hanging pot, putting vegetables and lamb in the pot as we eat, until we're all full." ”
Sariel didn't understand, "Why didn't you just bake it?" ”
Lawrence couldn't explain clearly, a lot of things happened to eat this mutton pot today, and Lawrence must insist on finishing it.
"It's my rule over there."
Salil still didn't understand why she bothered to eat the mutton, but she didn't continue to ask.
"Okay."
Sarriel remembered something and asked, "Do you want eggs?" One of us at a time. ”
Lawrence thinks that you don't need to eat eggs when you eat mutton, but she doesn't know much about everyone's meals.
Besides, if you can't finish eating, you can continue to eat tomorrow, so she said, "Okay." ”
Sariel smiled pleasantly, as if it was a treat.
Lawrence saw the smile, but couldn't figure out why Saliel liked eggs so much.
Although I was really greedy when I ate eggs, it was a relationship that I hadn't eaten for a long time, and the eggs in Sariel's house didn't have to be exchanged for things, so I could eat eggs every day, do I still care so much?
For other people's affairs, Lawrence did not have the idea of getting to the bottom of it, and continued to concentrate on cutting meat and washing vegetables.
Unlike in this era, where potatoes were mushy or eaten straight baked, Lawrence cut the potatoes into neat chunks.
The vegetables are also cleaned to prevent sand and dust from remaining, and the wilted parts of them are cut off.
The kitchen should also be cleaned.
Under Sariel's incomprehensible gaze, Lawrence brought three clean wooden boxes as chairs, and sat down one by one to feel the difference in height, increasing the height according to the height of the three people, and placing a few wooden blocks to maintain balance.
The areas stained with sheep blood were also cleaned up, and some inedible waste materials were also taken out for burial, in an effort to turn the kitchen into a clean place to eat.
By the time all this is done, it is already the time when the moon stars are scarce.
Sophia and Saliel had already finished their work, quietly and curiously waiting for Lawrence's permission to eat.
"That's it!"
Lawrence walked out of the kitchen, smiled at the beautiful women who had washed their hands and chatted at the door, and sent out an invitation, "Please come in!" ”
Sariel said strangely, "Lawrence is a little strange today. ”
Sophia thinks the same way, but of course she won't say it.
Lawrence laughed, "It's time to eat!" ”
When Sophia entered the house, she saw a boiling pot hanging from the fire, and three wooden boxes near the fire.
The wooden box has a wooden plate on it, as well as a plate and a wooden fork on which a roasted leg of lamb is placed.
Saliel quickly walked over and crouched down in front of the crate and reached for the leg of mutton that was placed on it.
Lawrence hurriedly said, "No, no, no, it's not like that. ”
Sariel was stopped by Lawrence, and immediately said unhappily: "Lawrence, you are really strange today!" ”
Lawrence didn't want to crouch in front of the wooden box to eat hot pot, so he quickly picked up the plate and sat in his place.
"When eating like this, don't touch the food other than the leg of lamb with your hands, you can use the spoon in the pot or the fork in the plate to pick up the vegetables."
Lawrence placed the wooden plate on his lap and demonstrated how to spoon the potatoes and tender pieces of lamb from the pan onto the plate, and forked a piece of potato with a fork that resembled a cake.
Saliel said impatiently: "How can I have time to eat in this way, I like to eat directly, so I can eat a lot and be comfortable!" ”
Lawrence looked at Sophia.
The well-behaved Sophia quickly learned to sit down with Lawrence, with plates and food on her lap.
Now, I can't help Sariel.
Both of them sat down to eat, and Sarri couldn't squat to eat, so she could only sulk and sit on the wooden box like the two of them.
Sariel looked at the plank on her lap and then at the fire in front of her, there were so many things to pay attention to.
"It's uncomfortable! If you're not careful, you'll burn out my skirt! ”
Of course, Lawrence knew this, and he was not prepared enough today.
"I'll do this today, and next time I'll make a stove for eating hot pot at the table! Or a table dedicated to hot pot, right in my stone house! ”
Lawrence looked at Saril solemnly and pleadingly, "I promise that the next dining experience will be even better than this one!" ”
In the face of Lawrence's pleading, Sariel no longer blames the other party for his strange approach.
It was really uncomfortable at first, but after the three of them tacitly ate the leg of mutton first, it was much more convenient to pick up the bowl and eat hot pot.
Putting a dinner plate on her lap was an uncomfortable practice, but holding a cold rice bowl in one hand and a fork in the other hand in the hot pan to find the meat or potatoes and radishes she wanted to eat made Sariel have an appetite and ate a few more pounds of mutton.
Dinner, which usually ends quickly, seems to have been eaten for a long time today, and the three of them are eating and chatting together, and they have a lively feeling that Saril did not have when she and her father were eating before.
The meat and vegetables that I had planned to continue eating tomorrow morning were all eaten before I knew it.
Sophia touched her bulging belly, wiped her mouth and looked at Lawrence.
"Master, when is the next time we eat lambs?"
Lawrence thought for a moment and quickly said, "When our new home is ready!" ”
Sophia asked, "When will the master's new home be built?" ”
Lawrence calculates this every day, and says directly: "About a month." ”
Sophia quickly made a note and began to count the time to move into her new home.
Sariel wasn't worried at all.
Because in a month's time, when the snow is at its most heavy, when the whole mountain will be sealed until spring, Sophia and Lawrence will still live here.
At night, Lawrence did not dream of lambs when he slept, but felt a small and warm little one enter his bed and snuggle up in his arms.
When Sariel wakes up in the morning, she finds Sophia missing, and when she enters Lawrence's house, she sees the two sleeping together.
Sariel went out quietly and suddenly accepted everything.
