Chapter 642 Northwest-Style Roasted Whole Lamb! Tongtong Does Have Filial Piety, but Not Much! 【Please Subscribe】

"Xubao, what's the difference between the Northwest roasted whole lamb and Inner Mongolia roasted whole lamb?"

Shen Jiayue took a bite of the delicious pan-fried buns, then scooped a spoonful of oily oatmeal into her mouth, and asked out of curiosity.

the difference?

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"Mongolian-style roasted whole lamb is roasted over an open fire. No seasoning is applied to the surface of the lamb. Seasoning is only sprinkled when it is almost done. However, the northwest Nang pit whole lamb needs to be coated with a layer of egg yolk on the surface of the lamb. Then put it into a naan pit without an open flame to simmer until cooked... The whole sheep in the naan pit is not allowed to have an open flame."

No need for an open flame?

Shen Jiayue became interested:

"Can it be cooked?"

"If possible, after the naan pit is completely heated, pour some salt water into the furnace, put the sheep in and seal it completely. After stewing for more than an hour, the mutton will be cooked naturally."

"What happened to the salt water?"

"Increasing the humidity of the naan pit and using water vapor to speed up the ripening of the meat can also make the mutton more tender."

Lin Xu took a sip of oatmeal with a small piece of pickled cucumber and said with a smile:

"When you get to the Ginkgo Garden today, you will know after I cook it once. This kind of roasted whole lamb is not difficult, and it is completely different from the charcoal grilled ones in the store."

Ordinary roasted whole lamb uses charcoal to roast the lamb directly, so the skin of the lamb will become dry and burnt.

The mutton in the naan pit is cooked because it is battered. In addition, no open flame is used, but the residual heat of the naan pit is used for stewing, so the meat is more tender and the texture of the skin is crispier.

Anyone who eats it for the first time will be deeply fascinated by the texture and taste.

After breakfast, Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, went upstairs and changed into casual clothes, and then went downstairs with Shen Jiayue carrying Dundun and the two little cuties.

He first came to the store to have a look, and then drove to the West Second Ring Road.

Arriving at the door of Deng Lisong's house, as soon as he pressed the doorbell, the originally timid jade carving master hurriedly opened the door to welcome him out. He quickly took George over and held him tightly in his arms:

"George didn't make a scene last night, did he?"

He had a look of concern on his face, and his eyes when looking at the little cow were full of adoration. There was no hint that he was once a person who was too afraid of society to go out.

The healing ability of cats is really strong.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"No, but be good. When I live broadcast with Dundun, I also have a strong sense of camera."

"I was watching the live broadcast yesterday and wanted to give a reward, but I couldn't find the reward button... Please leave Peggy here, and Cai Sen will come to pick it up later."

Cai Sen was too busy taking photos and took care of the cats. As a result, Peggy, a cute little cat, turned his grandfather Cai Heping into a cat slave.

Cai Heping missed Peggy last night and came back from his daughter's house overnight.

Knowing that the little one was not at home, he ordered Miki Children's Shoes to take Peggy back early in the morning.

To the elderly, Peggy is no longer a cat, she is a granddaughter.

Lin Xu didn't expect this to happen. He smiled and said:

"I have to apologize to Grandpa Cai later for delaying his cat play."

Deng Lisong waved his hand:

"It's okay, the old man is just busy... When will your ginkgo garden not be busy? I'll come back later... I'll take George to play and see those little ponies."

"It's generally not busy from Monday to Friday. According to the ticket sales situation, weekend tickets have already been sold out in the next few weeks, but weekday tickets are not so popular."

Most of the people who go to Ginkgo now are taking their children out for a spring outing.

Children need to go to school from Monday to Friday, so they can only choose weekends, which makes weekend tickets extremely popular.

Deng Lisong said:

"Then I'll go there on an afternoon next week."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu took out a few tickets from his bag and handed them over:

"Take it, you don't have to worry about buying it anymore."

Deng Lisong was not polite, took the ticket and stuffed it into his pocket. Just as he was about to chat a few more words, a neighbor passed by, and he immediately took Peggy into his arms:

"I'll go in first, and you guys can get busy too. There will definitely be a lot of people in the Ginkgo Garden today."

"Okay, let's go in."

After Deng Lisong went in and closed the door, Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue got in the car and drove straight to the Ginkgo Garden.

Arriving at the Ginkgo Garden, the young couple found that Shen Guofu, Han Shuzhen, Chen Meijuan, Lin Hongqi, Chen Meiliang, Mrs. Shen and the entire Han family had all arrived and were watching the little pony.

"Hey, my baby Dundun is here!"

Mrs. Shen held Dundun in her arms, her face full of doting.

Lin Xu greeted everyone and went to the kitchen to start packing the roasted pig for today.

Lao Huang also sent the sheep over. The one-year-old male Jie sheep had fresh and tender meat, moderate fatness and leanness, and no fishy smell. It was very suitable for roasting the whole sheep.

Qin Wei and the others have also arrived at this moment and are busy preparing dishes.

When Lin Xu started to clean up the three fat pigs, two kitchen assistants came to help, which speeded up the processing of the pork.

Deboning, cutting meat, applying skin water, applying marinade... the whole process is done in one go.

After processing the pork, Lin Xu did not process the mutton immediately. Instead, he went to the open space behind the kitchen, opened the small stove pit, added some charcoal into it, and then turned on the blower.

The ashes at the bottom of the furnace pit immediately started to burn again.

Almost twenty hours have passed since I used it yesterday.

Although there seems to be no fire in the furnace pit, there are still sparks under the ashes, so this type of oven should be kept away from flammable and explosive materials to avoid causing fires and other situations.

After all the newly added charcoal was ignited, Lin Xu used a long-handled dustpan to scoop out some burning charcoal and put it into the large furnace pit next to it.

Fill in the charcoal here as well, and then turn on the blower to blow it up.

After finishing all this, Lin Xu returned to the kitchen and began to prepare the marinade for roasting the whole lamb.

Chop the parsley, green peppers, carrots, coriander, and onions, pour them into the pot, then add a small bowl of cumin seeds, add water and cook on the stove to bring out all the aroma of the ingredients.

This is the indispensable ingredient for making Northwest roast mutton, shelf meat, naan bun meat, red willow barbecue and other delicacies.

In the northwest region, when making meat dishes, especially mutton, some ingredients are specially added to add flavor and remove foreign substances, which can make the taste and aroma of the meat richer.

The freshly cooked cooking water cannot be used, it must be allowed to cool down first.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu began to pack the sheep sent by Lao Huang.

First, hang the mutton up, and then use a sharp knife to cut the thicker parts of the mutton leg along the grain to make the meat thinner, which will make it easier to taste and cook more easily.

In addition, when changing the knife, it is also necessary to cut off the fascia at the joints of the front and rear legs to prevent the legs from twitching when the mutton is grilled, which will affect the final presentation of the dish.

After doing this, Lin Xu started to season the paste.

He brought a basin and put six eggs into it, two spoons of turmeric powder, half a catty of salt, half a catty of flour, three ounces of starch, as well as chili powder, pepper powder, cumin powder and other ingredients that are indispensable for making Northwest roasted whole lamb. Open with mixed guilt.

Zayin is a popular mixed marinade in the northwest region. It contains various spices and medicinal materials commonly used by the Uighurs. Barbecue in the northwest is inseparable from Zayin.

It is said that in the past, mutton was cooked with mixed meat to cure diseases and had medicinal effects. Over time, it became an indispensable ingredient in northwest meat dishes.

Lin Xu mixed these ingredients evenly with eggs, then poured in some dried ingredients water and stirred into a paste.

Among these ingredients, flour is used to make the roasted lamb crispy, while starch is used to prevent the batter from softening.

The batter should not be too thin, and a yogurt-like consistency that becomes stringy when lifted is the best. This state of batter can easily hang on the mutton and is not easy to de-starch, so it is more suitable for marinating meat.

When a cook saw this, he smiled and said:

"Why does this thing look so similar to curry sauce? Fortunately, our kitchen is clean. If it were too messy, and with the words "clean and hygienic", netizens would definitely think that we are in India."

Lin Xu also felt that the sauce had a strong smell. Although there was no curry in it, because of the turmeric powder and the paste, it was difficult to recognize what it was.

But considering that the Northwest Territory is next to Pakistan, and Pakistan is on the same side as India, it is normal for there to be similarities.

Lin Xu hung the sheep on the grill and began to smear the batter on it.

Grab a handful of paste and apply it evenly to the surface of the mutton. Don't rush this step, apply it slowly and evenly, and smear it all over the inside and outside of the mutton.

After applying the paste, the whole sheep was dyed into yellow sheep under the influence of turmeric powder.

After finishing this work, Lin Xu hung up the three pigs respectively, and then went to the furnace pit to take a look. The temperature in the small oven had already risen, and the charcoal was still burning under the blow of the blower.

It is estimated that it will take a while for the charcoal to finish burning.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he went out to have a look, greeted the relatives and friends who came to play, and asked the kitchen to cut some cantaloupe and watermelon and bring them out for everyone to taste.

Some tourists saw Lin Xu and took photos with him, and some asked for autographs. Lin Xu was polite for a while and finally got rid of these enthusiastic fans.

On the other side, Xiaobai was also neatly dressed, walked out of the stable, and began to greet the first riding customer - Tongtong.

Xiao Tongtong received Yu Hui's stick education yesterday, and she is much better behaved today. When the employees came to deliver watermelons, they even took a piece of it for Yu Hui.

This made Yu Hui very happy, feeling that this girl's life was really not in vain.

But when she reached out to take it, Tongtong, filled with filial piety, opened her mouth and bit off the sweetest watermelon tip.

Yu Hui: "..."

It seems that I have to beat this girl next time I get a chance.

I don’t care whether stick education works or not, let’s get comfortable first.

Shen Jiayue originally wanted Xiaobai to carry Dundun around for a while, but the cat was naturally wary and always felt it was unsafe, so as soon as she put it on the saddle, Dundun jumped off.

Tongtong didn't have so many worries. She put on the matching helmet, elbow pads, knee pads and other equipment, then straddled the saddle with Geng Lele's help, stepped on the stirrups, and just raised the small riding whip in her hand, Yu Hui was Took away:

"Are you dying? What should you do if the horse is frightened? Follow him for a walk and then come down. Don't tire this little white horse. He is much better behaved than you."

Tongtong: "!!!!!!!!!"

Are you actually comparing me to Xiaobai?

However, she was eager to ride the horse at this time, so the little girl did not argue with her mother and held the reins with both hands.

The staff held Xiaobai's hand and walked along the plank road.

Go wherever there are many children to promote the ride.

Tickets for this kind of ecological park are not expensive. If you want to make a profit, you have to stimulate customers' secondary consumption, such as riding, which costs dozens of yuan for ten minutes, and feeding carrots to the ponies, which costs five yuan for a small bag.

In addition, drinks and other items are also available.

Soon, a group of children surrounded Xiaobai. Tongtong, who was wearing a riding hat, looked at everyone's envious eyes and was very happy. When she saw someone taking pictures, she quickly made a scissor hand gesture and closed her mouth.

She has lost her teeth and is not pretty with her mouth open, so she has to keep her mouth closed and smile at all times.

Behind the kitchen, when the charcoal was almost burning, Lin Xu turned off the blower and lifted the whole sheep over.

Then he brought half a basin of concentrated salt water and poured it with a ladle onto the walls of the furnace pit.

After doing this, hoist the sheep in, cover it with a lid, and cover it with a thick soaked carpet to isolate the air as much as possible and let the heat simmer in the pit.

"What are you doing? Roast a whole lamb?"

Xie Baomin, wearing sunglasses, led Su Peipei, Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang over. Seeing Lin Xu playing with the furnace pit, he asked curiously.

"Yueyue wants to try the roasted whole lamb from the northwest. I'll try making it once... Yufei Yuhang, what do you two want to eat? I'll cook it for you later."

"Roast pig!"

"Well, I was very greedy yesterday. I really wanted to eat roasted pig."

Although the two brothers did not watch the live broadcast yesterday, when Lao Xie went to pick it up in the afternoon, they watched the live broadcast replay while playing on their mobile phones in the car and were full of curiosity about the crispy-looking roast pig.

This requirement is naturally not a problem for Lin Xu:

"There are three pigs today. I guarantee you will enjoy them."

After finishing the small stove pit, Lin Xu started playing with the roasted pig.

In the kitchen, the removed big bones are put into the pot, one-third is used to make big bone soup, and two-thirds is used to make soy bones.

As for the removed meat, it is used to make large pot dishes and some country stir-fries.

Lin Xu walked around with Xie Baomin's family and started playing with the roasted pig.

First put it into the pit and bake it at low temperature for twenty minutes to dry and soften the pig skin, then lift it out and pierce the skin of the pig with a pine needle full of steel needles.

Then rinse with cold water, then increase the oven temperature and put the whole pig in.

“I met Dundun by chance at the Ginkgo Garden and checked in!”

"Wow, Dundun is even prettier than she looks online. Her fur is shiny and she looks so well-behaved."

“The biggest difference between Dundun and ordinary cats is that when other cats become obese, people immediately think of the name piggy, but although Dundun looks chubby, she looks like a little adult and she even gave me a high-five just now. .”

"He also gave me a high-five and rubbed my daughter's hand lovingly."

"My girlfriend was completely fascinated by it and took a bunch of pictures...it knows how to tease."

"..."

Visitors are posting updates online, making netizens envious for a while.

"Damn, this is not a trip to the Ginkgo Garden. This is obviously Dundun's offline meeting."

"If I had known there was such a benefit, I would have gone to work to remember absenteeism."

"Dundun~~My Dundun~~~"

"By the way, have you met George and Peppa Pig? Those two little guys are also very cute."

"I didn't see it. It seemed like it was sent back early in the morning."

"Can you please tell me about the catering situation at noon today? If there is roasted pig, remember to help me taste it. I really want to eat it."

Soon, some netizens posted today’s lunch meal.

There are all kinds of dishes including roasted pig, stewed vegetables, big bones with soy sauce, big bone soup, seasonal stir-fry, stir-fried wild vegetables, stir-fried chicken, native duck, wild fish and so on. Many people can't help but salivate after seeing it.

Especially the pictures of roasted pig and soy sauce bones immediately aroused the greed of netizens.

There are also many types of staple food to choose from, including rice, handmade noodles, scallion rolls, multigrain cakes, handmade steamed buns, farmhouse layer cakes, iron pot braised rolls, oil spins and other delicacies, which can meet the needs of different groups of people.

The [Blind Taxi Driver], [The Mahayana Immortal Cultivator], [Invisible Chicken Wings], [The Lost Roasted Whole Lamb] and others who specially stopped work all morning to play around the park, and then went to Lin Ji Food Talk Posted a photo:

"Scenery and everything else are fleeting, but the most attractive thing is the food. I just made some inquiries. Master Qin from Lin Kee specially brought a few chefs and assistants to help. Boss Lin is personally responsible for roasting the pig, so today's meal is definitely different. It’s normal, everyone who comes makes money.”

Liangshan Haohan saw the news and commented below:

"Blind man, you are being unreasonable. I can't eat the food at the construction site, and I've lost my appetite even more when you post these things."

Lu Lu replied:

"Then you order takeout."

"Last time I ordered takeout and asked the deliveryman to hang it on the hook, the supervisor saw it and fined me two hundred yuan... I'll go to the construction site gate to eat a handful of meat later. When the work is over this time, I have to go Stay in the capital for a few days and go to Linji to have a few meals."

As soon as he mentioned the meat, netizens who were familiar with him immediately came over to join in the fun:

"Is the meat delicious?"

“Is Lin Ji’s Dongpo Pork delicious?”

"Is this thing very different from meat?"

At this time, the man who opened a restaurant based on Lin Xu’s food tutorials [I and Gambling and Drug Abuse] also followed suit and said:

"Please give me a tutorial!"

Lu Lu immediately sent a face-covering smile emoticon:

"Brother, why do you see everyone asking for tutorials? If you want to learn how to cook meat, just ask Boss Lin to take a tutorial. Brother Liang can't even cook noodles, so asking him to give a tutorial is a bit difficult."

Liangshan Haohan replied:

"I know how to eat it, but not how to make it. If you want to learn how to cook pork belly, you have to ask Boss Lin to do it... By the way, Master Wei is also from Shandong, so he should be able to cook pork belly. You can ask him to give you a tutorial later."

Because they are in the same industry, the drug gambling guy is very particular and has not publicized his own store.

He responded with an OK gesture and planned to wait for Lin Xu to come to his store before asking for advice on how to make the meat. He just used this reason to waive the order and save Boss Lin from disagreeing.

Lin Xu didn't know at this moment that he had no plans to go cycling in Miyun, but the drug addict brother had already thought of a reason to waive the bill.

He walked around the park and kept saying hello to everyone and taking photos with them.

Then we came to the pond and watched my father-in-law, Lao Suntou and others fishing.

Many fish fry have been released here one after another, some large and some small, which are more suitable for fishing.

Before the fishing started, Lao Suntou, who believed in materialism all his life, actually hugged Dundun very metaphysically and took advantage of his luck, which fully demonstrated the characteristics of fishermen who "believe in science and even more in metaphysics".

Soon, noon approaches.

The sheep and pigs in the furnace pit are also ready for the fire.

Lin Xu strolled behind Laidu's kitchen, ready to turn on the stove!
