Chapter 182: Sheep

There are a lot of specialties in Chinese New Year, and thirty is naturally a day for family reunion.

After thirty, it is the first day of junior high school, and from the first day of junior high school, it is also the day to pay New Year's greetings to every household.

Except that married daughters are not allowed to return to their natal homes, every household is paying New Year's greetings, and there are many other things to pay attention to besides New Year's greetings.

For example, you can’t drink porridge on the first day of junior high school, because porridge was only eaten by poor people in the past, so drinking porridge on the first day of junior high school means that you will be poor this year, and you can’t eat meat, even eggs and milk. It is called the Wanshenhui, which means that all the gods will come out to pay New Year's greetings. Therefore, in order to show respect to these gods, you can't eat meat, you must be vegetarian, and you can't take medicine, even supplements.

It is also not allowed to call people by their names to wake them up. This will make the person called be urged to work all year round.

It is also not allowed to give New Year greetings to people who are still sleeping, because this will make the person who is being greeted sick.

Do not wash clothes on the first and second day of junior high school, because the birthday of the water god falls on these two days.

You are not allowed to take a nap during the day, and you are not allowed to take out sewage, garbage, or sweep the floor, as this will sweep away the wealth in your home.

You can't let others take money from your own pocket, and you can't collect debts from others...

Of course, these are old sayings, and now there are no elderly people in Jiang Hai's family, so who cares about these?

Logically speaking, in addition to paying New Year greetings to the elders on the first day of the new year, you can't go to other people's houses to play, and Jiang Hai will go there.

Hearing Fu Yuan's words, Jiang Hai responded, and then sat up from the bed in a daze. First go to the bathroom to wash your hair, face, brush your teeth, and everything is tidied up. He also put on his clothes and went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, Jiang Hai saw Xu Wei's car from a distance, and there were already many people in the car.

Jiang Hai took a casual look and found that there was still space in the car, so he sat down on it.

"Oh, I'm going, what's the way. Come out with us and wear Versace, it's fake!" As soon as Jiang Hai sat down, Fu Yuan here screamed strangely. Originally, these people hadn't paid attention. Hearing what Fuyuan said, he looked over.

But even if they look at it, they probably won't understand it. What the hell is Versace, in fact, even Jiang Hai is not very clear.

"Don't mention it, my daughter-in-law bought it for me." Only then did Jiang Hai notice his body, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Oh, I'll go, which daughter-in-law!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xu Wei here also yelled strangely.

"Which other daughter-in-law, okay. Don't make trouble for me, this marriage is not divorced, come here, open the way, let's go buy something!" Jiang Hai also said with a smile after patting Xu Wei in the front driving seat stand up.

"What to buy? Today is the first day of the new year. There is no place to open the door. People don't rest." Xiang Hua here also said at the back at this time. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help curling his lips, Huaxia is like this , After a year, things are not easy to buy.

"I don't care what to eat, I just want to drink, let's just order peanuts or something." At this time, another friend of Jiang Hai who had been playing with his mobile phone, Huang Yunfei also interjected.

"Who will drink with you? You are a person who messes around in the hospital. You only eat and drink every day. Who can drink better than you! My family is ready. My dad brought two sheep back a few days ago. Let’s eat, eat roasted, let’s eat shabu-shabu first at noon, and roasted at night, after lunch, let’s see if we want to fight trouble or play poker.” Fuyuan listened to Huang Yunfei’s words and gave him a contemptuous middle finger, Then he said to Xu Wei, a group of people talked and laughed, and drove towards Fu Yuan's house quickly.

Fuyuan's home is not small, but it's actually not too big. It's a standard two rooms and one kitchen. Usually, Jiang Hai and the others don't go to play very much. Because his hometown is not in the city of Bingcheng, so during the Chinese New Year, his father and mother will go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year, and he is the only one in the house, so naturally he can do it happily.

At a small supermarket that was still open on the road, they bought five boxes of beer, some old grandma brand peanuts, and a few cans of Russian-style pickles, and then drove downstairs to Fu Yuan's house.

After parking the car, everyone carried a box of wine, and Jiang Hai came to Fuyuan's house with the peanuts and pickles he had bought back. It was only around eight o'clock in the morning when they went to call Jiang Hai, but It was already ten o'clock when they got here,

After tidying up, everyone was ready to have lunch. Under Fu Yuan's command, they also set up the table and put the wine on the window sill outside to freeze. At this time, Bingcheng wanted to drink cold , You don’t need to put it in the refrigerator, how can there be a low temperature outside in the refrigerator! In less than ten minutes, it was very cool.

Set the table down, put down the peanuts, the sauced beef I bought, and a plate of patted cucumbers. The induction cooker in the middle has also been turned on, and a pot of clear soup is starting to boil in a large pot.

When it comes to shabu-shabu, there are actually two types, one is the hot pot belonging to the land of Sichuan and Sichuan. The hot pot originated from Wudu. Those who slaughtered pigs and cattle in some slaughterhouses in the upper reaches, after slaughtering pigs, sheep, and cattle, the ancient people did not eat offal. They would throw the offal into the river and float away downstream.

And the workers in the downstream, just pick up these unwanted water, go home and use chili, pepper, etc. to remove the fishy smell, and then cook and eat.

This is the origin of hot pot, and another way of eating is shabu-shabu, which has a much longer history.

According to legend, in the Song Dynasty, people in the Yuan Dynasty fought everywhere. Once when they were about to bury the pot for cooking, the enemy army came to them suddenly. A pot of mutton, after the soldiers ate it, their morale was greatly shaken, and it tasted delicious, and it was passed down later. This is the origin of the hot-boiled mutton.

At first glance, these two methods are not too different, but you will know that these are actually two ways of eating.

Hot pot is mainly spicy and delicious, emphasizing heavy taste and heavy oil. When eating, the oil dish is used instead of the sauce dish, and the main dishes are mainly offal and beef, which is hardly too much. Will eat lamb.

The shabu-shabu is more based on fresh soup, which is divided into seafood pot, bone soup pot, etc. It emphasizes the original flavor of the original soup. , is mutton, of course beef will also be eaten.

Bingcheng is located in Longjiang Province, and next to it is Inner Mongolia, so their habit of eating shabu-shabu is more of mutton shabu-shabu rather than hot pot. For example, the soup base Jiang Hai and his team made today is not I bought the hot pot base in the supermarket, but I really made it myself. I put the onion and ginger cooking wine as the base, and I also put a few shrimps, a few small crabs, and a few shells. These seafood are used to make seafood soup. For the bottom, once the soup is boiled, the taste will come out. It is light and delicious, but it has a smell of seafood. The combination of fish and lamb is fresh, so if you use this soup to boil lamb, the taste will make people crazy.

Not long after, a delicious smell also began to reverberate in the room, which made everyone move their index fingers a little.

"Where's the meat?" Jiang Hai couldn't help asking him after glancing at Fu Yuan, who was also swallowing his saliva next to him.

"Oh, let's go get it!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Fu Yuan remembered that the meat hadn't been taken out yet, so he took Jiang Hai to the freezer at his home, opened the freezer, and inside On one side is a pile of steaks, which are the steaks sent by Jiang Hai, and on the other side are two huge plastic bags, but one is black and the other is white.

Jiang Hai then opened the black one, and found that it was a whole sheep inside, which made Jiang Hai a little Spartan, how could he eat it.

"Not this one, this one is black goat, it is used for roasting at night, and that one is used for rinsing today." Seeing Jiang Hai's expression, Fu Yuan knew that he had taken it wrong, and put the mutton in his hand again After going down, I picked up another bag, and the other bag was full of sliced ​​mutton slices, but compared with the mutton slices sold, the mutton slices here are a little different in size.

"Uh, what's the difference?" Jiang Hai asked with some puzzlement after glancing at the mutton that was taken out.

"Of course there is a difference. This whole goat is a black goat. The meat of the black goat is firm, it grows slower, and it is aggressive. Because of its aggressiveness, it is more often raised on the mountain and has a lot of exercise. The quality of the meat is very good, er, of course, it is still a lot worse than your beef, but this mutton is also the best I have ever eaten." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Fuyuan here began to Speaking of which, in fact, he only checked these after his father got the sheep back.

"The mutton cooked here is Ujumqin sheep, which is produced in Inner Mongolia. Do you know that the capital of the emperor is Donglaishun? This sheep is exclusively for Donglaishun. It costs 68 yuan a plate, which is cheaper than ordinary Boer. Goat is much more expensive. We tasted it once at home. It is indeed much more delicious than the mutton bought outside. The fat meat is not greasy, and the lean meat is not firewood. When it is scalded in water, the mutton tastes delicious. In addition, as soon as the smell of seafood entered the mutton, I froze. He took out three packs of mutton from the bag and hurried to the living room. As for Jiang Hai, he also swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Westerners love to eat mutton, which can be seen from the fact that many of their main meals are lamb chops. America’s little brothers, Canada and Australia, all like to eat mutton, especially Australia, whose mutton and wool industries can be regarded as the world’s top existence, but the people of America don’t like to eat mutton very much.

Jiang Hai also raised some in his manor, but he hadn’t eaten mutton for such a long time. Speaking of it now, he really misses the taste of pork and mutton. According to Fuyuan, he has some hungry. (To be continued.)
