He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

As soon as Lu Sheng and Lu Yan returned to the village, they heard the news of the sheep slaughter.

It's the end of the year, and the people who raise sheep in the village are slaughtering the sheep to sell their meat today. Lu Yan ran away as soon as she heard this.

Lu Yan was originally worried about whether sheep would be too expensive. However, because the village was next to a mountain, several families in the village raised sheep and they usually ran around in the mountains. Although there are not as many people raising pigs, it is not that rare. Lu Yan was immediately relieved.

Lu Yan and Lu Sheng drove the donkey cart home, took the money to join in the fun, and squeezed into the crowd. The sheep slaughtered by this family ranged from big to small. The lamb weighed just over 35 kilograms, but they slaughtered more than 50 kilograms of meat. It’s [-] Wen per pound, so it’s cheaper if you buy more. Lu Yan got excited when she saw the mutton, and immediately decided to order [-] pounds. The boss was shocked.

After repeatedly confirming that Lu Yan really wanted fifty kilograms and that he could even pay on the spot, the boss without saying a word wiped off the change by fifty kilograms and gave all the money to Lu Yan. Lu Yan gave the boss one or two or seven coins on the spot and asked him to carry the mutton home.

Lu Yan and Lu Shengxiong came back in high spirits, and Mrs. Xu was stunned by the fifty kilograms of meat they bought.

"Why did you buy so much mutton? How much does it cost?" Xu asked tremblingly.

"A total of one, two, seven," Lu Sheng said flatly.

Mrs. Xu felt dizzy when she heard this amount: "It's nearly two taels of silver. Where did you get so much money?"

Lu Yan quickly comforted her: "Mom, you can earn it in a few days. Lu Sheng sold Spring Festival couplets for six yuan today!"

Xu quickly turned to look at Lu Sheng, who nodded and said yes. Mrs. Xu was even more dizzy. She sold it for six yuan in one morning! Boss Lu only earns nine coins a month...

Ms. Xu knew that the two children were trying to make money outside, but no one knew how much they earned. They thought they had ideas, and they never asked for the money they earned, nor did they ask for the children's money. It was all their own. Holding it in hand. Lu Yan bought all kinds of meat and vegetables every day, thinking that she had spent enough, but she didn't expect that they could earn so much.

Lu Yan and Lu Sheng earn money quickly, and they spend it lavishly. After the two of them explained to Mrs. Xu, Lu Yan went into her kitchen to tinker, and Lu Sheng also ran back to continue writing Spring Festival couplets. She would definitely earn him a tael tomorrow to earn back the mutton money.

The mutton that Lu Yan had been longing for finally arrived, and she ran into the kitchen to see her fermented bean curd.

After nearly a month of marinating, the bean curd has been completely marinated. After a month of fermentation and decomposition, the texture of tofu has become as smooth and mellow as cheese, and it can be ground into puree with just a light grinding. Lu Yan decided to eat hotpot mutton tonight.

There are so many things that can be made with mutton, such as braised mutton, stewed mutton, mutton pot, grilled mutton chops, mutton skewers, steamed mutton dumplings, grilled buns, etc. The yard also provides fresh mutton offal. It's snowing now, and in sub-zero weather, wrapping things in oil paper and throwing them in the yard is like putting them in the refrigerator, without worrying about them breaking.

But the sheep's water still needed to be dealt with, so Lu Yan decided to make haggis soup for noon.

Lu Yan first processed the sheep intestines and tripe, added salt, vinegar and flour, and rubbed them vigorously to remove the odor. Add a little flour to the lungs in warm water and rub them repeatedly to clean them. After cleaning, blanch it in water, remove the blood foam, wash it again, and then drain it into the water.

Lamb offal soup is a little more troublesome. It is not as strong as braised pork. It is more of the original flavor, so the requirements for removing the fishy smell are higher. The spices needed to be Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, galangal, angelica angelica, and caoguo. Lu Yan took a piece of gauze, put them on the cloth, tied them tightly, and put them into the pot.

Put the spices, green onions and ginger in the pot, first add the sheep intestines and sheep tripe, which can be cooked until they are eighty-ripe, and then add the cooked sheep lungs and livers. After they are all cooked, take them out and slice them for later use.

To make mutton soup, you need to make the soup first, but Lu Yan didn't buy the mutton bones this time, and the time to make the bone soup was too long, so she simply cut a piece of mutton and made the mutton soup.

While making mutton soup, Lu Yan first made some noodles and baked a batch of shortbread.

The mutton soup is ready and ready to make haggis. Add oil to the pot, add onions and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, pour the haggis in, stir-fry a few times, then add the cooked mutton soup, add salt to taste, and the haggis soup is ready.

The haggis soup is out of the pot, and the shortbread is almost done. Lu Yan was willing to use oil when cooking. The shortbread was so oily that when she broke it off, the crumbs fell out. The haggis soup is white in color and has a rich taste. After one bowl, the whole body warms up. The three of them are very satisfied with the meal.

Mutton soup

Not to mention the mutton pot at night. Lu Yan has wanted to eat hot pot for too long.

The pot is the same one used for cooking noodles, with a small charcoal stove. The bottom of the pot is just the bone broth that I usually use for Chuan Chuan. For thinly sliced ​​mutton rolls, Lu Yan has always been a loyal fan of clear soup pot. She feels that only a clear soup pot can bring out the deliciousness of the mutton without covering up the original flavor of the mutton.

The spicy pot is not suitable for lamb rolls, but is more suitable for thick cuts of beef and tripe. But you can’t buy beef at all now, let alone beef and tripe. There is no butter even for the bottom of the pot, so the spicy pot can only be discussed later.

The thinly sliced ​​mutton rolls filled five large plates. In addition, various skewer ingredients are also used, including cabbage, radish, potatoes, tofu, and various meatballs. The table is filled to the brim.

The most exciting thing was the dipping sauce. Lu Yan's fermented bean curd was ready. She couldn't wait to pick out four pieces and mix them with the chive flowers into the sesame sauce. The taste quickly improved to a new level! Sesame sauce + chive flowers + fermented bean curd is the most classic dipping sauce for mutton shabu-shabu!

Boss Lu and Mrs. Xu have never eaten this form of delicacies. Lu Sheng heard someone mention it when he was in private school, but he only heard about it. Everyone was very reserved at first when they were grabbing things from the same pot, but when they saw that Lu Yan had put down half a plate of meat and immediately scooped it all into her own bowl as soon as the meat was cooked, she was not polite at all. Lu Sheng was the first to react and joined in the fight. Meat-eating ranks.

Lu Sheng strongly suggested adding fermented bean curd to the dipping sauce for Mu Shi, but he remained silent after learning how to make fermented bean curd.

He didn't quite understand why things could be left to grow hair. If hair grew, wouldn't it be bad?

"Yes!" Lu Yan said, "But it becomes more delicious."

Lu Yan couldn't explain to him the difference between various bacteria and why some bacteria would make food smelly when they grow and make people sick if they eat it, but some bacteria were not only harmless to the human body but could also make food taste better. . She chose not to explain.

Lu Sheng was silent again. The fermented bean curd was so delicious that he chose not to think about how it was made.

All the meat and vegetables were swept away, and Lu Yan finally ordered another handful of noodles. After finishing the noodles, Lu Yan's desire for hot pot was finally fully satisfied.
