Return To 1977 Chapter 516: Show off your skills
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came back.
The two brothers also had empty hands, one was carrying half a leg of lamb, a large loin of lamb and a large bag of seasonings.
The other holds a large bag of charcoal and an iron grill filled with bicycle bars.
This is Hong Yanwu's idea that came up in the first two days. He specially asked someone to customize this household item, and even asked someone to sharpen a wheel's bicycle strips.
The reason is to show off my skills today and grill some mutton skewers so that everyone who has not eaten much meat all summer can enjoy meat.
I didn't even tell "Tang Xin'er" about this in advance, all I wanted was a surprise.
Unfortunately, his good intentions were met with cold reception.
Because there is a general rule in the world. When all new things first appear, especially when they conflict with old concepts, the feedback is often suspicion and suspicion.
In fact, although Beijing is the birthplace of introducing barbecue into dinner, roast suckling pig, roast venison, roast whole lamb, roast duck, and roast pigeon from the palace's "Guanglu Bureau" are all delicacies that can be eaten at home.
There are also two time-honored halal brands that specialize in barbecue, "Barbecue Wan" and "Barbeque Season", but they both belong to the Manchu and Mongolian barbecue category and pay attention to the season.
To put it bluntly, in old age, Xinjiang, which is isolated outside the Great Wall, is almost like foreign countries. Ordinary people cannot cross the "Xingxing Gorge". It would take at least until the 1980s for mutton kebabs to be truly introduced into the mainland by Uighur compatriots.
In Beijing at this time, not to mention that no one had ever seen such a way to eat roasted mutton, even the seasoning like cumin was very rare.
Hong Yanwu still tried his best to get a packet from the kitchen of "Nan Laishun".
Of course, even this old halal restaurant in Beijing does not sell mutton skewers at this time. Their cumin is used for "fried barbecue".
So apart from Quanzi, he believed in Hong Yanwu unconditionally because of his deep-rooted trust. Out of ignorance, Hong Jun continued to act as the "loyal lackey" of his third uncle. The whole family was not optimistic about his "unconventional" move.
The first person to speak was his mother. "Third brother, how good are you at singing? It's the hottest day in summer. If you get so much mutton, it will go bad if you can't eat it! Besides, this is not how you grill barbecue. Don't waste it. Good stuff..."
Dad also followed suit. "You kid did something stupid this time. Do you understand the season? 'The autumn wind brings the smell of barbecue'. In the dog days of summer, sheep lose fat. Where is the time to eat it? Besides, mutton is hot in nature, so eating It's time to get angry. You should avoid the fire poison now. Aren't you so screwed up..."
Looking at Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan brushing iron picks and skewering mutton together. Hong Yanwen also curled his lips.
"Lao San, you're going to skewer these pieces of raw mutton and grill them on car strips. Why do I think it's so unreliable? The key is that you don't skim the blood, so just rinse it with water to see if it's clean." Is it clean? Don’t spoil your stomach anymore..."
Even Hong Yanru and "Tang Xin'er" have no confidence in Hong Yanwu.
One said, "Third brother, can you really do this? This is the first time I saw someone grilling mutton on skewers. It's so fresh. Don't smash the pot. Brother will laugh at you later... …”
Another one said, "Xiaoru, don't worry about him. If he wants to act like a monster, no one can stop him, so just let him do whatever he wants. Anyway, he will be embarrassed in his own home, and no one will laugh at him. Not less than a big brother..."
As for the attitudes of all the relatives mentioned above, Hong Yanwu truly stood firm and remained unmoved.
He just smiled and went about his preparations silently, as if he didn't hear anything.
Why? He has confidence in his heart.
To put it bluntly, he has never met anyone who doesn’t like mutton skewers. This thing is the most popular type of barbecue in China.
No matter north or south, inside or outside the Great Wall, whether in Kyoto, provincial capitals or towns, there is no place that does not sell kebabs. No matter how afraid of the smell of mutton, no matter how good a person is in eating a light diet, he will still be stunned when he sees this thing.
In his previous life, after he became a billionaire, it can be said that he did not go to famous restaurants and did not go to high-end restaurants at all. But only in summer, it is still unavoidable to go to the food stalls to eat skewers and drink a few cold beers.
Even if he has a barbecue grill or grill at home, this must be the case.
No way, this is really a kind of folk fun that is hard to refuse. It can not only completely relax people, but also satisfy people's appetite.
Everyone must experience the tender aroma plus burnt aroma, the meaty aroma plus charcoal aroma, and the refreshing and refreshing drink that will never be forgotten again in this life.
In addition, as a senior "eater", he is also quite confident in his craftsmanship.
First of all, when buying meat, you must use lamb leg meat and loin meat. If you eat the lamb leg dry, it will be too dry. The loin meat will be smoother and tender, with a certain amount of fat, and it will taste delicious. In fact, the main ingredient for pork tendons should be waist meat, which is authentic.
Secondly, the meat needs to be smaller when cut into pieces. It is a little troublesome to skewer it, but it is very cooked. Especially for mutton skewers threaded on skewers, the skewers are thermally conductive, and the meat will be crispy on both ends after grilling. This is something that large skewers and wooden skewers cannot compare with.
Then it’s time to marinate the meat. No bullshit, no onion, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, eggs, or starch. The correct way is to use a little onion, celery, and carrot. It's a pity that there is no place to find onions these days, which makes Hong Yanwu quite regretful.
Again, that’s the secret of secrets. Be sure to add more MSG, at least five grams per pound of mutton.
Not to mention healthy or unhealthy, eating barbecue itself is not healthy. But if you want to eat it, you must have MSG, otherwise the mutton will have a peculiar smell and no flavor.
After that, the skewers are ready to be grilled.
Of course, the seasonings and steps are also very important when it comes to actual baking.
The seasoning should be crushed with chili powder, ground chili powder, and cumin particles. The most important thing is not to forget a little fennel powder.
When roasting for the first time, only salt is added. When the two sides are cooked, add a little fennel powder, then chili powder, ground chili pepper, and finally cumin.
The mutton skewers grilled in this way have no odor and have a good taste. They are more delicious than the authentic red willow skewers from Xinjiang.
So, Hong Yanwu is not in a hurry. He is completely confident that he will conquer the taste buds of his family. Just waiting for a blockbuster. Then let’s see how everyone will change their words and praise him.
The so-called "if the clouds clear and the moon shines", judging from his life experience, this sentence actually hit the mark, and success is nothing more than three elements. One, persist. Two, be shameless. Three, insist on being shameless...
At half past five in the evening, the Hong family hosted a banquet in the west courtyard.
Under the red pomegranate tree that is already bearing fruit, two large square tables connected together are covered with tablecloths,
There are already several cold dishes on the table. "Chicken jelly", "mixed with three shreds", "vegetarian assorted", "tempeh tofu", "sugar mixed tomatoes", "ginger preserved eggs".
The "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", which was deeply loved by Hong Jun, was temporarily given up by him and stood conspicuously among these dishes. Showing so much joy.
In the kitchen on the east side, Hong Yanru had just closed the store and brought out a pot of lotus leaf porridge, and "Tang Xin'er" followed by putting the "sweet and sour short ribs" she had made on the table. Wang Yunlin also put down the vegetable cutting knife and wiped her sweat with a towel.
At this point, everything is ready, and other hot dishes are just waiting for Hong Lucheng to come to the door before frying.
As for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, they came back from drinking beer outside and started to fan the flames.
Not to mention, I grilled dozens of skewers as an experiment and it was a great success.
No matter what they don’t like spicy food, and no matter what they are afraid of, Chen Liquan and Hong Jun gave it a thumbs up when they tasted it.
Following Quanzi, he gave a few more skewers to Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin. After tasting them, their parents also praised them and said they tasted good, not tangy or greasy, and surprisingly good.
This is a big deal. With the praise from their parents, both "Tang Xin'er", Hong Yanru and Hong Yanwen all took the initiative to come over and try something new. Soon everyone was eating a bunch of them.
When they taste it again, no one can withstand the alluring smell of barbecue. The temptation of delicious food and greedy appetite make it difficult for them to leave.
Looking at the steaming and fragrant meat skewers on the iron box-like barbecue grill, it was really a phrase in the sketch. When you eat one skewer, you think about two skewers. When you eat two skewers, you think about ten skewers...
If we don’t say that literati have no integrity, Hong Yanwen, a college student, was the first to change his mind and said, “Lao San, I really underestimate you, you can roast mutton with this flavor, it’s really not bad!” ”
The two "little ladies" Hong Yanru and "Tang Xin'er" also changed their stances without exception, and laughed together and said how delicious it is! tasty!
At this time, just look at Hong Yanwu, who is fanning a big cattail fan back and forth in his left hand, and skillfully and evenly sprinkles fine salt and cumin on the mutton skewers with his right hand. I don't even bother to talk to you, that's really a great way to feel proud and proud.
At this moment, I heard a laugh outside the west courtyard door. It was Shou Jingfang who had just got off work and walked in with two bottles of "Bamboo Leaf Green". Amidst the shouts of "Cousin" from many people, he walked in as soon as he entered. He joked before saying congratulations.
"I saw the smoke curling up in your yard from a long way away, which shocked me. I was still wondering. Your house has just been repaired, why is there smoke? Only when I came here did I know. I'm sorry. It’s you again, third child! What are you doing today?”
Before Hong Yanwu had time to respond, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin had already come out to greet him. Let Shou Jingfang sit on the table and drink tea.
It happens that the newly roasted mutton is also cooked. Hong Yanwu took a few skewers and put them on a plate, and personally brought the "sugar heart" to his cousin as a gift.
It should be said that the beauty of "Tang Xin'er" is absolutely amazing. Moreover, she shyly lowered her eyes and said nothing, and followed Hong Yanwu without missing a step. It also adds a bit of tenderness like a bird.
Hong Yanwu was quite confident about this, so after he pulled "Tang Xin'er" over and introduced him, and saw Shou Jingfang's expression of disbelief and surprise, he felt very proud and gained a kind of vanity satisfaction. .
It's just that he didn't expect that things were completely different from what he understood. Shou Jingfang was surprised for another reason, and in just a few words, he changed his mind and achieved the effect of shocking the whole audience.
"Girl, you don't look right. You are sick...wait, this...is this the smell on your body?...golden flower? No, it's a gold-rimmed mandala!"
If Shou Jingfang's previous words made the Hong family worried about "Tang Xin'er", then the last five words falling into "Tang Xin'er's" ears were simply thrilling to her.
Because this is the top secret in her "men" and the key ingredient of the "Jinxian" drug. And this smell came from the necklace pendant that she never left her body.
"Tang Xin'er" never expected that Shou Jingfang, a miracle doctor who was often talked about by Hong Yanwu, was well-deserved, and he actually knew such unorthodox things, and his nose was so good. After being frightened, she immediately thought of another thing.
What about him? Will you know that I am a "Xiawumen"?
It was this thought that made her feel dazed, unable to control herself and feeling dizzy.
She subconsciously reached out to support the table, but she accidentally knocked the "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" she bought for Hong Jun on the table and fell to the ground.
Just listen to a soft sound.
Hong Jun jumped up and shouted, "It's broken, it's broken, the Cowherd is broken! The Weaver Girl is broken too! Aunt Sugar, it's all broken!"
