Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

Chapter 40: Shabu-boiled mutton (more to follow)
There are many ways to prepare mutton.

Counting it down, there may be more than 100 methods.

Whether used to steam, braise or grill.

But among the many ways to cook mutton, let all the diners who love mutton vote for a ranking. Shabu-shabu mutton will definitely be among the top three.

Speaking of hot pot, everyone may be familiar with it.

In later generations, it was basically a household name, but before the 80s, Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot basically had no reputation, or even basically no reputation.

Without him, in this era, it is difficult to have a full meal, let alone eating meat.

Who would like to eat hot pot with clear soup and little water?

But hot pot, a method of cooking food, actually appeared thousands of years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cooking tripod food can also be said to be the original form of hot pot.

Later, different cooking methods emerged due to differences in diet. In the north, the winter is cold, beef and mutton are abundant, and vegetables are scarce. Therefore, it is customary to cook and eat at the same time. This is the best match between climate and diet.

Shabu-boiled mutton came into being.

Of course, in the 80s, ordinary people might not be able to eat it even once a year at home.

There are some subtle differences between the hotpot mutton in Northeast China and other regions.

Northeastern hotpot mutton features the word "shabushabu".

Pick up the paper-thin mutton with chopsticks, put it into the boiling soup, blanch it and then eat it.

Tender and delicious, the meat is attractive.

Moreover, after cooking for 3-4 hours, the mutton is not aged and the taste is still very good.

After hearing Lin Yi's talk about eating mutton, Yingzi returned home and started boiling water and cooking the mutton.

Lin Yi looked at Yingzi's neat sheep tricks and couldn't help but think of the later Internet joke, a sheep in 8 minutes.

Don't tell me, you can really do it if you have fast hands.

Yingzi raised and lowered his knife, quickly completing a series of complex processes such as tying the sheep, peeling the skin, and cleaning it.

Everything is easy for her.

Not even a drop of sheep blood was splashed on her body during the whole process.

Zhuzi was stunned and swallowed, good fellow, do you still dare to be friends with Yingzi in the future?

This little girl is a cruel person.

The second aunt had already taken out the iron pot used at home, washed it, and then boiled water to make soup.

Ji Yi found a brazier and put some charcoal in it.

There is no special pot for hot pot, so we have to use local ingredients.

But after mastering the principles of hot pot, these are not difficult to do.

About an hour later, several people got their wish and had steaming hot mutton.

"It's so delicious, boss. The most correct decision I, Zhu Zhu, have ever made in my life is to hang out with you." Zhu Zhu said, patting his chest.

The second aunt only felt that these days were like a dream.

Being able to eat meat every day was something she never dared to think about in the past.

"Yingzi, eat more, you are the thinnest here." The second aunt gave Yingzi a piece of mutton.

He turned around and picked up another lamb kidney for Ji Yi.

Ji Ji looked at the kidneys in the bowl? ? ?
Second aunt, you want me, a hot-blooded young man, to eat this thing?
Aren't you afraid that I might have a nosebleed at night?

Ji Yi looked at them eating happily, smiling happily, and also smiled.

"I said, in a few decades, everyone in our country will be able to eat meat every day. Do you believe it?"

Ji Yi asked with a smile.

The other three shook their heads.

"I said, boss, you haven't gone to bed yet, why are you talking nonsense?"

"That's right, if you say you eat meat once a month, I still believe it."

"I can't even imagine what kind of magical day it was."

Lin Yi smiled and said nothing, lowered his head and ate the meat.

Yes, in this era, at least 4/5 people in the country are below the poverty line and cannot even fill their stomachs.

For them, not to mention eating meat, but just having enough food, those are the best days.

After dinner, it was completely dark.

Tonight, Ji Yi told Yingzi and Zhuzi that there was no need to patrol the traps.

He had a hunch that the black bear would not come until tomorrow, and by then, there would be a fierce battle.Therefore, be sure to have a good rest tonight and recharge your batteries.

After three days of waiting, the final battle is about to begin.

And this battle will be a turnaround for Lin Yi's famous forest farm.

Back in the room, Zhuzi still slept on the bed.

After a while, he was snoring loudly.

Ji Yi listened to the snoring, good guy, it was really like thunder.

He couldn't help but kick the pillar, and the pillar turned over, and the snoring finally stopped.

Before going to bed, Ji Yi entered the space with his mind and found that the sweet potatoes, corn, and wheat planted a few days ago were all mature, so he harvested them all.

In the space, the rabbit family is multiplying and growing again.

The number has exceeded one hundred.

Ji Yi put 30 mature rabbits into the warehouse.

The system slaughters the live rabbits with one click and turns them into rabbit meat and fur in the warehouse.
Well, this saves Ji Yi a lot of effort, very ginkgo.

Chickens and ducks are similar.

After a while, there was a lot more food and meat in the system space.

After a rough calculation, the total amount of various grains was about 5000 kilograms.

There are 50 chickens and ducks in total and 30 rabbits.

This amount still surprised Ji Yi.

You know, this is what you gain in two or three days.

Several wild boars have also grown in size and are foraging in the newly harvested crop fields.

Ji Yi's eyes came to the pool.

The fish that was put in it in the morning was already about one or two pounds.

In a few days, the fish will be ready for harvest.

The pregnant hunting dog had successfully given birth to five puppies.

Don't be too cute with these puppies.

After a few days of raising them, Lin Yi's hound team will continue to grow.

After replanting various crops and watering the ground, Ji Yi planned to exit the space.

However, at this moment, he discovered that the experience bar in the space had been updated.

It turns out that this space can actually be upgraded.

The progress bar is now 50%.

I believe that it will be upgraded to level 2 in a few days.

This surprised Ji Dong a little.

After a night of silence, Ji Yi was woken up by hunger early the next morning.

I was busy working in space for most of the night, which consumed a lot of mental energy.

Ji Ji is not hungry.

So he got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Second aunt is already steaming steamed buns.

Authentic Northeastern steamed buns.

"Second aunt, are the steamed buns ready? Give me one quickly, I'll starve to death." Lin Yi said to the second aunt.

He could smell the aroma of steamed buns even outside the kitchen.

"It will be out soon, don't worry." The second aunt smiled slightly.

As soon as it came out of the pot, Ji Yi didn't care about scalding it and directly reached for one.

"Hot, look at how anxious you are." The second aunt smiled and scolded and patted Lin Yi.

After taking a bite, Ji Yi's eyes lit up.

This steamed bun is so chewy.

Don't look at the steamed buns, they are ordinary and seem to be available all over the country.

But making authentic Northeastern steamed buns is not simple.

Steaming steamed buns is also a basic skill that tests housewives in many places.
