Chapter 1421: Mutton Soup
With Wang Yongzhu's orders.
The others hurriedly separated their things and moved them into the courtyard.
After working for a long time, I finally caught up with the sunset, and finally it was roughly settled, and I was able to sleep all night at night.
If there's anything wrong, just rearrange it the next day.
Yao Da listened to the words of those local mothers-in-law and girls, and had already secretly purchased a batch of firewood, rice, oil, salt and a freshly slaughtered sheep to come back.
There are few vegetables and fruits in this place, and it is the second half of the day when I go out to buy, Yao Dachu has just arrived, and he has not yet figured out the situation, although he has asked the little official, but he also said that a few shops are sold on weekdays, and they are generally closed after noon.
Helpless, Yao Da had to come back in a hurry.
Fortunately, Mrs. Ding had long heard that this place was bitterly cold, and in summer, the melons, gourds, and vegetable moss were dried into all kinds of dry goods.
At the moment, just fetch water to heat it and soak these dry goods in hot water.
When he saw the sheep, he was not afraid.
Along the way, she had already consulted with the old man who drove the car about the way to do it.
First, cut the lamb into large pieces, soak it in water, and rinse the blood from the meat.
Only then did he set up a large cauldron, fill it with clear well water, throw the washed and chopped mutton into large pieces into the pot, boil out the foam, and skim off the foam.
Add the green onion and ginger and simmer slowly over low heat.
After boiling for about half an hour, the aroma overflowed.
Song Xiaowu, who had a very sensitive nose, had already begun to swallow saliva.
The golden pot and simple are so young that they are hooked by this fragrance and go to the kitchen door to guard.
Especially simple, biting your fingers and sucking saliva.
When Mrs. Ding saw it, she couldn't help but smile, picked out two large pieces from the pot, scooped them into a bowl, sprinkled them with fine salt, poured a spoonful of soup, and gave a bowl to each person.
Jin Keu and simply held the mutton bowl, wanted to drink soup, but was afraid of the heat, so he simply scooped up the mutton and squatted at the kitchen door to gnaw it.
As soon as the mutton came out of the pot, the juice inside gushed out, and the two of them were so hot that they bared their teeth and cracked their mouths, but they were reluctant to spit it out, so they only jumped in the yard.
Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang were cleaning up the soft in the house, hearing the movement outside, and then smelling the fragrance, they couldn't help but laugh: "This smell is so fragrant, I can't stand it, mother, let's not clean up, go taste it first, and come back at night to clean up." ”
Saying that, he really threw down the work of cleaning up and pulled Mrs. Zhang out.
When I came out, I saw the golden pot and the simple, sweet way to gnaw it, and I had more and more appetite.
On Mrs. Ding's side, because she didn't have time, she only had time to stew a big pot of rice, paste half a pot of cakes, and fry a few side dishes, which was also decent.
Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang and the golden pot set up a table in the ear room next to the east wing, and Mrs. Ding and the rest of them set up a table in the hut next to the kitchen.
Before the mutton was cooked, salt was sprinkled with it, and Mrs. Wu actually found a nest of chives in the corner of the kitchen.
Pinch it off, wash it and cut it into chopped green onions, and sprinkle it on top of the soup, which is fragrant and beautiful.
Wang Yongzhu, Mrs. Zhang, and the three of them actually killed a small pot like this.
At the end of the meal, they all ate a little supportively, and the golden pot covered his stomach and hummed.
was pulled by Wang Yongzhu and the two of them walked together in the yard to eat.
Seeing Mrs. Ding coming to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, she couldn't help but ask: "Is there any mutton?" ”
Mrs. Ding hurriedly said: "There is still half of the fan left untouched." ”
"Then you cut another small half, and then sit in another pot according to the previous one, and prepare the Lord and Mr. Jane to come back and eat." Wang Yongzhu admonished.
Mrs. Ding hurriedly took the order.
She had more eyes, took Mrs. Wu together, reconciled the noodles by the way, put them aside to wake up, and stayed in the kitchen, waiting for Song Chongjin and them to come back.
Song Chongjin and the others didn't come back until the end of the day, and they came in directly through the small gate that connected the front yamen and the backyard.
Song Xiaowu and Song Xiaowei were guarding between the two doors, and when they saw that someone was back, they hurriedly greeted them.
Song Chongjin and Jian Huaifeng both looked tired, and today was supposed to be handed over, but it was just to check the appointment documents, and there were some formalities to be done.
It's just because after the previous county order was locked and taken into Beijing, Chicheng County didn't have a county magistrate, and it was a bit chaotic.
In addition, there are some other reasons, which have dragged on for months, the backlog of things, and some of the messes left by the previous term, these officials are almost unable to hold on.
Finally, the new county magistrate took office, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, eager to throw out the things at hand today, and it was good if they didn't stick to their hands.
Song Chongjin was naturally not so stupid, he didn't figure out anything, so he took it in a daze.
God knows how many bad debts there are, so there are all kinds of excuses, and it has been making trouble until dark.
Only then did someone propose to give the county magistrate a pick-up.
When I arrived at the restaurant outside, not to mention anything else, the roasted camel was served first, and it was said that this was a famous dish stuffed with it, and it was easy not to make it to eat.
It is said that the eggs are boiled first, then stuffed into the belly of the slaughtered fish, then the fish is grilled, then stuffed into the belly of the chicken, and after the chicken is browned, then stuffed into the belly of the sheep, and then the lamb is roasted, and then it is stuffed with rice, almonds, and pine nuts.
The camels are then roasted until they are bright and golden, and the aroma is tangy.
This dish is prepared from the morning until this evening, and it is basically good.
Song Chongjin and Jian Huaifeng really hadn't seen each other, and dozens of people sat around the roasted camel.
The meat was cut off by the cook, and the most tender and best piece was naturally given to Song Chongjin.
Song Chongjin tasted it and praised it, so everyone dared to move the chopsticks.
At first, there were still a few scruples, but if you eat meat, you have to drink, Song Chongjin first gave himself and Jian Huaifeng a medicine to understand alcohol, but he was not afraid.
It's just that the wine in the northwest is all burning knives, and the wine is in the mouth, and it goes down the throat with hot and spicy food.
If the amount of alcohol is a little worse, I am afraid that I will pour it after just one glass.
There were too many people toasting, Song Chongjin didn't eat a few bites of meat, but a lot of wine was poured into it.
From camels to sheep, then chickens, fish, and finally eggs, that is the essence of the essence, and it was respectfully presented to Song Chongjin.
This meal started from the dark, and after eating for a few hours, the eggs were cold, and a layer of white flower oil condensed on them, especially, this egg was still a goose egg, as big as an adult man's fist, and it was scary to look at.
Song Chongjin was very suspicious, he was afraid that these local officials were taking the opportunity to choke him to death with this egg.
But looking at everyone's eager eyes, there are many adults who don't eat, and we will feed you with our own hands.
had to swallow it hard, only to choke so much that he almost lost his temper, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine, which can be regarded as picking up a life, otherwise I am afraid that he will become the first person in history to be choked to death by an egg just after taking office to eat a reception banquet.
Finally, the feast was dismissed, and he came back in a hurry.
Physically and mentally exhausted, I just felt that this meal was simply fatal.
Sending Jian Huaifeng to the front yard, he went straight to the backyard.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and had already rested, and there were two angry wind lamps lit in the yard, and the shaky dim lights made people's hearts warm.
Wang Yongzhu had been guarding the upper room, heard the movement, and hurriedly greeted him.
I smelled a pungent smell of wine.
Fortunately, she prepared hot tea, first let Song Chongjin drink tea, and then asked people to bring hot water, so that Song Chongjin washed up and changed his clothes and came out.
Mrs. Ding had already stewed the mutton and soup, as well as pasted a few cakes, and brought them together.
Song Chongjin didn't eat much for dinner and drank a lot of wine, although there were hangover pills that didn't get in the way, after washing, his stomach was empty.
Especially the last egg, which was cold and uncomfortable in my stomach, and I wanted to eat something hot.
I sat down and took a sip of the hot broth, and my whole stomach warmed up.
While eating, he said vaguely: "Send a little to Mr. Jane in front of them, they didn't eat well at night." ”
Wang Yongzhu handed him a cake, "Don't worry, I have already sent it over." You eat slowly, this is the night without eating? ”
Hungry like this?
