Chapter 510 Whole Sheep Feast
Whole-sheep feast, as the name suggests, uses different cooking methods to make different dishes based on the different distribution of muscle tissue in various parts of the whole sheep's trunk.
Different from roasting the whole lamb, the whole lamb feast will use almost all the edible parts of the lamb, and the number of dishes ranges from more than 30 to more than 80 kinds. Although it is called a whole sheep feast, the ingredients used are far more than one sheep. If only one chef is allowed to cook it, it will not be finished even if it is exhausted.
"Grandpa, is it a bit exaggerated to have an all-sheep feast? Besides, our few sheep shouldn't be enough, right?" Jiang Feng looked worried.
There is only one old man, and he must be taken good care of.
"It's not like we're doing a serious whole-sheep feast. Just slaughter a sheep and burn all its parts to make a few dishes." The old man said.
"Go and slice these pork belly, call your dad in to get sauerkraut. The rest of the people tell them to do what they are supposed to do, don't crowd around in the yard, and clean the places that need to be cleaned. Even though we are twenty-nine, the house is still a mess. It’s as if everyone in Tuan Chao didn’t see anything.”
"Also, Xiaofeng, when you finish processing the pork belly, go to the town to call your grandma back and help her get the things. If your grandma didn't buy the braised goose, go and buy the braised goose. They should be in the store tomorrow It’s closed,” the old man ordered.
"Didn't Juan Lian and Juan Qing bring two geese back? Why do they want to buy braised geese?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.
Although the braised goose served by the time-honored restaurant in town is good, it is far inferior to the old man's food. Basically, no one cares about it every year, and in the end, it is all eaten by Grandma Jiang alone.
"Your grandma loves it." The old man put on an apron and started to handle the pork. "Also, buy two more bags of flour. I will make more dumplings on New Year's Day this year. There is not enough flour at home."
"Okay grandpa." Jiang Feng nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it and went outside to announce the order.
After receiving the order, everyone in the Jiang family returned to their respective places. They went into the kitchen when they should and returned to the hall when they needed to.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Zaide, who went to Li Cuihua's house next door to get water, returned successfully. Although Li Cuihua said it was only a small amount of water, there was definitely a lot of it. According to visual inspection, there were at least five or six pairs. Jiang Feng even wondered if other people knew that the old man used pig offal to make braised meat every year, so they brought all their pig offal over.
Since Jiang Zaide brought back the pigs in the water, the honorable and arduous task of dealing with the pigs in the water was naturally given to him.
The person involved, Jiang Zaide, said: I regret it. I regret it very much now.
When Jiang Feng finished processing the pork belly, washed his hands, put on his down jacket and walked out of the kitchen to go to town to find Grandma Jiang, Jiang Zaide, who was not skilled in business, was still sitting in the yard cleaning pig intestines with a depressed and regretful look on his face.
Jiang Feng hadn't seen this familiar scene for a long time. He remembered that when the four brothers were still learning to cook, they would sit in a row in the yard and wash their intestines together.
"Brother De, use more force when rubbing, otherwise the smell will not be removed. Remember to rinse with water at least twice after rubbing." Jiang Feng reminded after observing Jiang Zaide's passive and slow-down colon washing method.
Jiang Zaide sighed deeply, wondering how the plot turned into what it is now.
"Little brother, where are you going?" Jiang Zaide asked.
"Grandpa asked me to go to town to call grandma back and buy some things by the way." Jiang Feng said.
Seeing that Jiang Feng actually got a good assignment abroad, Jiang Zaide sighed with jealousy: "Brother, do you know what grandpa is going to cook for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night?"
"Grandpa said we will mainly cook mutton dishes this year." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Zaide immediately cheered up when he heard that the New Year's Eve dinner mainly consisted of mutton dishes: "What mutton dish? Roast whole lamb? Roast lamb chops? Roast lamb legs? Braised lamb?"
"I didn't say what to do specifically. What grandpa said was to kill a sheep and use all the parts that can be used for cooking." Jiang Feng told the truth and didn't hide anything.
Jiang Zaide rubbed the pig intestines in his hands fiercely: "Are you going to make nine-turn large intestines this year?"
Jiang Feng counted the large intestines on Jiang Zaide's side: "Grandpa didn't ask me to buy large intestines. Such a small amount of large intestines is definitely not enough to make a nine-turn large intestine. I probably won't do it."
Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Jiang Zaide felt that he had no motivation to wash his colon in the end.
"Brother, go to town quickly." Jiang Zaide continued to wash his colon with a decadent look on his face.
It only took more than half an hour to walk from the village to the town. Considering that he would have to help Grandma Jiang move things later, Jiang Feng walked there instead of riding a bicycle.
After walking into town, Jiang Feng called Grandma Jiang several times but no one answered. Jiang Feng was already used to Grandma Jiang's behavior of not answering the phone. After thinking about it, Jiang Feng went straight to the only activity center for the elderly in the town.
That is, a mahjong parlor.
The old man said that Grandma Jiang went to the town early in the morning. The town is so big and can be covered in half a day. It was already past dinner time when Jiang Feng arrived home carrying the sack with the big pig's hooves in it. If Grandma Jiang was really shopping, she would definitely be back before lunch.
So there is only one truth. Today, Grandma Jiang mainly went to town to play mahjong and buy some things on the way.
As expected, Jiang Feng saw Grandma Jiang as soon as she entered the chess and card room.
The chess and card room that used to be bustling only had two tables open because everyone was very busy as the Chinese New Year was approaching. Grandma Jiang is sitting at the mahjong table, holding the mahjong tiles. There are a few bags of vegetables and some groceries on the chair behind, which proves that she is indeed here to buy things today.
Jiang Feng noticed that the green cabbage leaves were a little swollen due to being squeezed.
"One piece of cake? Just right, what a fool!" Grandma Jiang pushed the card out.
"Oh, Lan Hua, why are you acting crazy again? Your poker skills have improved a lot during this trip to Peiping!" The old lady who lit the cannon at the same table was filled with regret.
"It's because I have improved. I think it's because your playing skills have deteriorated." Grandma Jiang looked happy. "But I'm not saying that, this mahjong parlor in Peiping is really different from ours. Not only are the conditions better, , those old men and women who play cards are in good spirits. They play from morning to night and are not tired at all.”
"Grandma." Jiang Feng saw that Grandma Jiang was starting to brag about even the mahjong parlors in Beiping, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Hey, Xiaofeng is back. Have you bought the pork?" Grandma Jiang asked.
"I bought it. I bought a pig's trotter. Today at noon, Grandma Li also sent a pot of pork. She said that several other families in the village gave it to us. Grandpa said that we will eat pig meat as usual tonight." Jiang Feng road.
"Neighbors are still reliable at critical moments. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!" Grandma Jiang stood up, "Okay, I'll leave first. My grandchildren have come to see me."
If Grandma Jiang wants to leave, no one else will stay. If Grandma Jiang continues to fight like this, their wallets may not be safe tonight.
"Grandma, let me get these things for you." Jiang Feng knew that now was the time for his filial grandson to show off his talents.
"Oh Lanhua, your grandson is still filial. Those boys in my family, when they see me carrying things, it's as if they didn't see me. They know how to stare at the phone every day without fear of damaging their eyes." A poker player sighed.
"Yes, the grandson of the Lanhua family is still filial." Another poker player agreed.
"Lanhua, please teach us how your family usually teaches children, and let us learn from it." The last card player asked.
"Yes, yes." The other two poker players echoed in unison.
"There is no teaching. Look at me playing cards with you every day. I don't have the time to teach children. Children are sensible. Our Jiang Feng has been filial since he was a child. In this regard, he is much better than his cousins." Grandma Jiang smiled from ear to ear.
Jiang Feng and Grandma Jiang left the mahjong parlor.
"Grandma, has Grandpa ever made a whole-sheep feast?" Jiang Feng asked, trying to find out what was going on for the New Year's Eve dinner so that he could cheat better.
"Full sheep feast?" Grandma Jiang looked confused.
When she was young, Grandma Jiang always believed in the idea that the man should be the outsider and the woman should be the homebody. She basically did not interfere or interfere with the old man's work. She actually didn't know much about the dishes that the old man cooked when he was in a state-owned hotel.
"I don't know if that was an all-sheep feast? I remember when your grandfather and I first got married, there seemed to be some kind of celebration or event in the city, and the leader appointed your grandfather and Master Huang to host it. That time it seemed like It was all about mutton dishes, and it was so sensational that it was even published in the newspapers." Grandma Jiang squinted her eyes and couldn't remember.
"I didn't eat the dish. At that time, mutton was very expensive and we didn't raise much sheep here. I remember that all the sheep were bought from the north, and they were paid a lot of money. Your grandfather seemed to have made a very special dish at that time. The dish is called..." Grandma Jiang thought for a long time before spitting out a few words, "It's called Mo Shike or something, it sounds like a foreign name."
"Moscow?" Jiang Feng could only think of this.
"No, it's four words. Hey, what is Mo's background?" Grandma Jiang fell into deep thought. (End of chapter)
