Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 49 "The Feast of the Sheep"

"How can someone as big as my young master care about children?" Lu Shi waved his hands indifferently, but he was relieved in his heart.If he was stumped by a few brats, how would Third Young Master Lu mess around in the future?

"The third young master has a heart as broad as the sea, Sanniang admires..." Su Yunfu blessed his body, paused and asked again: "I don't know what the third young master is talking about today?"

Lu Shi chuckled and said, "I tasted the delicious food made by my sister-in-law yesterday, and I was amazed. Today, I want to bother my sister-in-law to make some sheep soup for me..."

The corners of Su Yun's mouth twitched, this kid said it really calmly, is it true that the richer he is, the more stingy he is?Did you forget the sheep that was thrown here yesterday?
But the sheep belong to someone else, and I didn't say I would give it to you yesterday. Now that they have come to your door, there is no reason to refuse, right?
"It's just a few trivial matters, so why bother?" Su Yun smiled lightly. Although he had greeted Lu Shi more than ten times in his heart, the white-collar worker in his previous life was not a rookie who just came out of the campus. In other words, the temperament of talking nonsense is also very in line with the characteristics of a twin woman, isn't it?
"Besides, the sheep that the third young master gave you yesterday hasn't moved yet, so I'm going to make you sheep soup right now."

"Sister-in-law, are you making a whole sheep banquet?" The fourth brother raised his head, and little stars appeared in his eyes. Hearing his sister-in-law talk about this whole sheep banquet yesterday, the little guy's saliva was all over the floor. Thinking that my sister-in-law was going to make mutton soup, I was immediately excited.

Yes, this is also a snack.

"You, know how to make whole sheep feast?" Lu Shi's understanding of Su Yun has been refreshed again, whole sheep feast!It's not something everyone can do.

How could Lu Shi, who is a famous dish of the Liang Kingdom and a king of foodies, not know?This whole sheep banquet is a famous traditional Han dish handed down from ancient times. It uses Songzhou goats near Yunzhou. There are more than 80 dishes in the whole banquet, all of which are made from one sheep. The workmanship is exquisite and the seasoning is exquisite.

With so many chefs in Quan Daliang, there may be very few people who can actually cook the Quanyang Banquet.It's really surprising that the little woman in front of me can cook a whole sheep banquet.

"Heh..." Su Yun smiled lightly, and said: "You made the third young master laugh, how can I cook a whole sheep banquet. When my husband was alive, he once said that there are more than 80 dishes in this whole sheep banquet, and the ingredients are all On a sheep, my concubine is from a poor family, how can I do it when I have the opportunity? I just heard that my husband said that yesterday, when I saw the third young master always come to a sheep, I joked with several children that I would have a whole sheep feast, It’s all a joke, it’s not true.”

"Oh, that's it..." Lu Shi's eyes showed disappointment, but after thinking about it, Su Sanniang's words made sense.If she, a country woman, can make a whole sheep banquet, how can her family's situation be like this?

You must know that Daliang's atmosphere is very open, and there are many women who go out to work.Ordinary poor families even have a saying that "it is better to have a daughter than to have a son".There are also quite a few girls' schools here, not to teach people to read and write, but to teach various skills, such as female celebrities, such as cooking.

If this little woman had such skills, she would have been hired with a high salary and poached from a wealthy family to be a cook.The monthly salary of a cook who can cook a whole sheep banquet is not low, comparable to the salary of a seventh-rank county magistrate.

Ever since the Taizu came to the throne, the Daliang Kingdom has established a policy of imposing the policy on officials. The salary of a seventh-rank magistrate is not low. If this woman has this skill, she must If she enters the prince's house and works as a cook, she not only has a backer, but also has a lot of income, so the family's life will not be so difficult.

But, although this little woman doesn't know how to cook whole sheep feasts, her skills are not bad. I don't know why she didn't go to the palace to find a job, but instead she has such a difficult life?
"Third young master, sit down for a while, and I will make you a stew of mutton soup."

Su Yun blessed himself, and went to the back kitchen, because today he planned to make mutton soup, braised mutton, and spicy haggis pot, so last night Su Yun divided and processed the sheep.

Now you only need to clean it a little before you can start cooking, and it doesn't take much effort.

Take out the Codonopsis ginseng, angelica, and wolfberry bought from the pharmacy, wash them in water, and stew the sheep soup. Putting some of these medicinal materials can not only nourish but also remove the smell of sheep. This method is still learned from grandpa. The mutton soup is clear and delicious. This is one of the secret recipes of the Su family's private kitchen.

The lamb bones that were picked off yesterday have been soaked in a large basin overnight, and the water was changed once when I went out this morning. , and then blanch the mutton in water, then the pot can be cleaned and stewed again.

Slice ginger, cut scallions into sections, find a piece of clean gauze to wrap the medicinal materials, put the mutton and mutton bones into the pot, pour cooking wine, after boiling, skim off the foam, and finally put the ginger, scallions, medicinal materials Put the bag in the pot, wait for it to boil, turn to medium and low heat and simmer slowly.

After processing the mutton soup, it's time to make mutton stew.This stewed mutton needs to take the leg meat with skin. After blanching the water, wash the pot, boil it dry, pour some oil, put it in the frying pan, stir-fry for a while, force out the flavor of the ginger and scallion, and put it in Stir-fry the mutton for a while, then spray the cooking wine, and simmer for 1 minute. After the cooking wine permeates the mutton, add a bowl of water, add some soy sauce and salt, cover the pot, open the pot after half an hour, add sugar Sauce, when the pot is about to start, put the chopped garlic leaves in and quickly stir-fry, then out of the pot, a red braised mutton with a good color and flavor is ready.

After finishing these two dishes, Su Yun hurriedly made spicy haggis pot again. The reason why haggis is made into spicy ground is because the fishy smell of haggis is strong, and making spicy ground can remove the mutton to the greatest extent. taste, and some sheep leftovers can also be put in and stewed together, which is delicious and does not waste ingredients.

As for the cheek meat on the sheep's head, it's a good thing. It's the most tender part of the whole sheep. Unfortunately, the quantity is too small, so it can only be mixed with vegetables to make a plate of fried lamb slices, but there are no green leaves in this season. Apart from green onions, the only vegetables I have are garlic leaves that I grow indoors in earthen pots.

However, the stewed mutton has already used garlic leaves, and then fried with garlic leaves, the taste will be repeated.Su Yun thought for a while, and when he saw the onions and carrots on the table, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his heart.

Slice the cheek meat, marinate it with cooking wine, ginger, green onion, starch, and salt for a while, pour oil into the pot and heat it, and stir-fry it. This is a very delicious side dish.

Su Yun was busy in the kitchen, and Lu Shi was not idle outside.

He found that he really "loved" this small courtyard of the Lu family now.Although it is run-down, there is a group of lovely children who adore him.

The children's adoring eyes once again pleased Lu Sanshao, and Erlang's upturned legs trembled even more...
