Chapter 1089 Roast Whole Lamb
Time is slowly coming to October.
This time is the time of autumn harvest.
Dabazi Village is immersed in a busy and joyful atmosphere.
In the fields, golden waves of wheat rolled with the wind, as if the ground was covered with a golden carpet.
The plump wheat ears lowered their heads heavily, as if paying tribute to the hard-working villagers.
In the early morning, before the first ray of sunlight fully illuminates the village, the villagers have already gotten up, had a simple breakfast, and then walked to the fields in groups with their tools.
The men carried hoes, the women carried baskets, and the children followed behind the adults, laughing and playing, adding a bit of vitality to the autumn harvest picture.
In the fields, everyone has a clear division of labor and carries out harvesting work in an orderly manner.
The strong men wielded their sickles and skillfully cut off bunches of wheat. Their movements were powerful and coordinated, as if they were playing a harvest movement.
The women followed behind and tied up the cut wheat neatly. Their skills were skillful, and each bunch of wheat was tied firmly.
The children are not idle either. They run around in the fields and help pick up the fallen ears of wheat. Their little figures shuttle in the golden waves of wheat, like cheerful elves.
As time goes by, the sun gradually rises, and the blazing sunshine shines on the earth. Although it makes people feel a little stuffy, the enthusiasm of the villagers has not diminished at all.
Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Everyone joked with each other while working, and laughter echoed in the fields.
"The harvest this year is really good!" An old man looked at the wheat field in front of him and smiled from ear to ear.
"Yes, thanks to God's blessing and our hard work in the past few months, we will definitely have a good year!" an uncle next to him agreed.
"We have to thank Ziwen for this. If it weren't for the new technologies and methods he brought, how could our wheat grow so well!"
An aunt said with a smile, her eyes full of gratitude.
Everyone nodded and recognized Zhou Ziwen's contribution.
Under the leadership of Zhou Ziwen, the agricultural production of Dabazi Village has made great progress in recent years, and the living standards of the villagers have also been significantly improved.
In addition to harvesting wheat, villagers also transport the harvested wheat to the drying field for drying.
Oxen carts filled with wheat moved slowly along the country road, their wheels grinding against the ground, making a "crunching" sound.
When we arrived at the drying field, everyone worked together to spread the wheat evenly on the ground, so that the sun could fully shine on each grain of wheat.
The grain drying field is also a lively scene.
The villagers held wooden rakes and kept turning the wheat to ensure that the wheat could be dried evenly.
Children played nearby and occasionally helped to pick up fallen wheat grains.
Several small birds circled over the grain drying field, trying to find opportunities to peck at the wheat grains, but were driven away by the wooden rakes wielded by the villagers.
During this busy autumn harvest season, Zhou Ziwen was not idle either.
Not only should we pay attention to the work of mushroom cultivation bases, pig farms and chicken farms.
Also prepare for leaving.
A few months ago, he had harvested the ginseng from the ginseng field.
Every few days, he would go to the black market and sell these ginseng bit by bit.
In addition to the black market, he also went to some traditional Chinese medicine shops and supply and marketing cooperative purchasing stations in the county.
After a few months, his ginseng sales were almost sold out. By now, his family fortune is extremely rich, with more than 10,000 yuan in hand, close to 20,000 yuan.
In the past few years, almost all the medicinal materials he collected have been sold, except for some precious medicinal materials that he is reluctant to sell.
Compared with the medicinal materials he sold, the unsold ones were the most valuable.
Even some precious herbs are worth tens of thousands per plant.
These precious herbs are his greatest wealth.
In his busy days, he still pays close attention to various affairs in the village.
Under his careful guidance, a new batch of mushrooms in the mushroom planting base is about to usher in the harvest season.
Pig farms and chicken farms have achieved remarkable results after optimizing their breeding models.
The fat pigs and lively chickens have become another vibrant scenery in the village.
It is worth mentioning that the three lambs at home have also grown up.
He couldn't take this with him, so he planned to kill and eat the meat.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
It happened that everyone was very tired during this period, so Zhou Ziwen decided to kill one first and get a roasted whole lamb to eat.
After Zhou Ziwen decided to kill the sheep, he began to make preparations.
He first took out one of the three lambs, and then found a clean place.
He slaughtered the animals according to the "neck wiping" method commonly used in rural areas along the Hexi Corridor in the northwest.
First, he put the sheep down and tied two front legs and one hind leg with ropes to prevent the sheep from struggling excessively.
Then, cut the sheep's neck lengthwise with a butcher's knife, then insert the tip of the knife into the incision and tilt it to the right to cut off the sheep's trachea and blood vessels. Place a basin next to it to collect the sheep's blood, making sure not to puncture the sheep's esophagus. .
After bleeding, Zhou Ziwen started skinning the sheep while it was still warm.
He first hung the sheep's limbs upward, then used the tip of a knife to separate the skin along the midline of the belly. Then, like the old Hui masters, he cut a small opening at the sheep's hoof and blew air in to separate the sheepskin from the mutton. It peels more smoothly and the sheepskin doesn't stick to the lamb.
After skinning the sheep, he removed the sheep's head and hooves, then cut open the sheep's belly and took out the internal organs.
It was troublesome to wash the intestines and stomach of the sheep, so he found a chopstick to help.
After taking care of this, Zhou Ziwen began to prepare the roasted whole lamb.
He set up a grill in the yard, lit the charcoal fire, and put the processed sheep on the grill to roast slowly.
During this time, he kept turning the lamb to ensure it was roasted evenly. I also brushed it with my own sauce to make the lamb even more delicious.
After a while, the aroma of roasted whole lamb filled the entire yard, making people salivate.
After work, Zhou Chaoyang, Shen Zhaodi, Tang Yaoyao, and Zhao Xiaoya came after smelling the smell.
Zhou Chaoyang was the first to rush into the yard and shouted loudly: "Brother Zhou, what smells so good? You came all the way to bring out the glutton in my stomach!"
Shen Zhaodi followed closely behind, staring straight at the sheep on the grill, and joked: "Brother Ziwen, what big move are you going to make? Are you hiding some happy event from us?"
Tang Yaoyao jumped over and ran around the grill, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Wow, roasted whole lamb! This is my first time seeing it, it must be delicious!"
Zhao Xiaoya was more quiet. She stood aside and said with a smile: "Brother Ziwen, you are so awesome. This roasted whole lamb looks very simple."
Zhou Ziwen looked at them and said with a smile: "You are here at the right time. We have had a busy day today and we are all tired. Let's try this roasted whole lamb to satisfy our cravings."
As he spoke, he picked up the brush again and brushed a layer of sauce on the lamb. The lamb was sizzling under the charcoal fire, and the aroma became richer and richer.
