Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

The first time he ate at a restaurant, Yan Xia didn't know what to eat, so he ordered a few signature dishes.

Sihe duck, green sprouts in vinegar, white cut meat, and a bowl of rice.

The taste was okay, and the three of them ate cleanly.

But when paying the bill, Yan Xia was dumbfounded.

It's just three dishes and a basin of rice, but it costs three taels of silver.

It's not as fast as grabbing money.

But what should I do if I ate all the food? Yan Xia had to pay.

After leaving the restaurant, the three of them were heartbroken.

You can buy as much meat as you want with three taels of silver.

If it were replaced with brown rice, it would probably be enough for two years.

"Mom, we will never come to this shabby place again. The food we cook is not as delicious as mom's, and it's so expensive."

"Yes, mother's cooking is more delicious."

The brother and sister complained.

"That's it, I've eaten everything, let's treat it as a lesson. Let's go buy some mutton and go back to grill the mutton skewers. Before I left today, my mother specifically asked Jin Lu to cut more bamboo sticks."

After saying that, the mother and son went to the butcher shop.

More mutton is eaten here, even more than pork. Many farmers raise sheep. Only Baihua Village raises less because they are backed by two mountains and there is not much land in the village. Basically, except for wasteland, it is only fields, and there is no land for grazing. , the mountains are high and dangerous, and the villagers would rather raise pigs.

In other villages that are not close to mountains, almost every household raises some sheep.

There is no need to feed them, just let them out every morning and come back in the evening, and they can be sold within a year.

Not to mention the cost, it also saves effort. All you need to do is send one of your children to herd the sheep.

So the price of mutton is the same as pork.

Quite the opposite of modern times.

Because of the tangy taste, many wealthy families don't like to eat this stuff.

If sheep could grow as fat as pigs, they would be even cheaper.

At this time, there was not much meat left in the shop.

As soon as Yan Xia stepped in, the shop owner began to introduce him.

"Sir, please buy some meat. It's all good quality. It was just slaughtered today. Do you want pork or mutton?"

"mutton."

"Okay, sir, please come this way. This is the sheep that was just killed today. It's fresh."

The owner of the shop took out half-cut meat and placed it in front of Yan Xia.

Without the sheep's head and hooves, there was only half a body.

Very strange.

Who would buy sheep heads and hooves? No one here eats them.

Yan Xia touched the meat and found that the meat was dark red and had a lot more muscles than the tenderness of the mutton. Seeing this, she smelled the hand that had just touched the mutton.

No smell at all.

Yan Xia chuckled.

"Shopkeeper, you are trying to sell someone else's meat."

The ‘sheep’ in front of you is simply dog ​​meat.

The meat texture of the two is very similar, and you can't tell it without looking carefully.

In the memory of the original owner, eating dog meat was very common in this era. Many villagers who raised dogs at home would sell the dogs to butcher shops in exchange for some copper coins to buy food when the dogs grew up. There were also many people who stole chickens and dogs in every village.

So losing a dog is normal.

Dog meat is very cheap, much cheaper than mutton and pork.

Some unscrupulous merchants will sell dog meat as mutton.

I didn't expect to meet such a person for the first time.

Yan Xia took her two children and turned around and left the shop.

He didn't even listen to the shop owner's call.

She found a butcher shop again. The owner of this shop seemed relatively simple, and he should be a person who does business seriously.

"Boss, do you have any mutton?"

"Yes, sir, please come in."

The three of them entered the shop.

When he came out, Jin Fu was carrying a large skewer of meat.

Tie with hemp rope.

"Mom will make mutton kebabs for you when you go back."

Yan Xia was so greedy for this bite.

"Mom, what does mutton taste like?"

Jin Fu has never eaten it, nor has Osmanthus fragrans.

Because the Chen family has never bought one.

Mutton mutton has less oil and water and more lean meat than fat. You can buy a large piece of pork at the same price.

"It tastes delicious haha. You will know when you get back. Let's go and buy some more flour. We won't be cooking tonight. Mutton skewers and burritos are what we call enjoyment."

Yan Xia gave up, so the mother and son rushed to the grain store again.

I didn't rush home until I bought everything.

"Children, come out and get your things——"

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

With a shout, Wintersweet, Jinlu and Xiaohe all came out.

Yan Xia not only bought the dishes for tonight, but also bought some brown sugar, rice noodles, seasonings and other items.

There are three girls in the family, including herself.

Drinking some brown sugar every time you have menstruation is good for your health. The brown sugar in ancient times was purely handmade, and it is almost the same as those in modern times with additives.

When the children moved their things back, Yan Xia paid today's fare.

Send Zhao Dali away.

Start preparing dinner. First let your son take the mutton to the river and wash it, then let your daughter cut the mutton into small pieces and thread them on bamboo skewers. She herself makes the seasonings, sets up the stove, and kneads the dough.

After the small pancakes are fried in oil, they are put into a basin, and a plate of red peppers, a plate of cucumbers, and a plate of peeled garlic are cut and placed on the dining table in the yard.

Finally started grilling the lamb kebabs.

The skewers he wore were all very heavy. Yan Xia held ten skewers in his left hand and placed them on the shelf. He held a brush in his right hand and started applying oil.

After a while, the mutton skewers were grilled until they were sizzling with oil, dripping down the shelf onto the firewood.

'bass--'

The fire suddenly became stronger. After the oil stains were dried, the fire returned to its original state.

In this state, special emphasis is placed on roasting skills.

Yan Xia did the whole process by himself, saving these brats from roasting the mutton and ruining it.

The racks and bamboo skewers have been soaked in water in advance and will not become mushy or deformed after being roasted for so long.

When it was cooked to medium rare, Yan Xia used her hands to sprinkle the chili powder and cumin powder on the mutton skewers.

Sprinkle it three times like this, and then sprinkle it one last time when the mutton skewers are almost cooked. Add salt this time.

Otherwise the mutton skewers will be tasteless.

Because you are in a hurry, if you marinate the mutton for a day in advance, it will taste better.

"Okay, each of you has two skewers. You can put whatever side dishes you want. Then put the mutton skewers and vegetables into the bread and eat them."

Afraid that they wouldn't understand, Yan Xia simply wrapped one and showed it to her children.

This pancake is stuffed with a bunch of lamb, two pieces of cucumber, a piece of chili and a clove of garlic.

Fold it left and right, then wrap it up and down.

It became a small, square burrito.

Yan Xia stuffed the cake into her daughter-in-law's mouth.

"Eat it and see how it tastes."

Shi Xiaohe did not expect that the first burrito made by her mother-in-law would be given to her.

At that moment, she felt hot in her heart.

As soon as you bite the cake in your mouth, the aroma spreads.

This was her first time eating mutton. She heard that mutton was very spicy and smelled bad, but the mutton made by her mother was so delicious that she wanted to eat ten more.

"mother--"

"The mutton tastes so good. Mom, your cooking skills are so good. Everything you cook is delicious——"

"If it tastes good, eat more. Mom will bake it again."

After hearing her daughter-in-law's praise, Yan Xia went back to continue baking with satisfaction.
