Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Yang Rui devoted himself to cooking his mutton.

There are very few pastoral areas in Hedong, and there is not even one near Xibao Town. This pot of mutton is the lamb brought back from Ningxia when the Xibao Meat Factory sent a car to purchase New Year's Day benefits. Yang Rui heard about it. Through his uncle, Fang picked a 30-jin sheep in the name of the WestJet factory.

Compared with the local captive sheep in Hedong, the free-range sheep that drank the water of the Yellow River and grew up eating licorice are extraordinarily delicious.

This is because the grazing area is larger, the sheep are isolated from the outside world, the chances of contracting diseases are smaller, less medicine can be used, and some sheep with weak disease resistance but meat quality are grazing. In contrast, sheep raised in captivity have less room for movement, and the environment is not as clean as pastoral areas. In order to resist diseases, it is first necessary to select breeds with strong disease resistance and to strengthen the use of drugs.

It is the difference in breeds and farming methods that differentiates the deliciousness of mutton between the north and the south.

Northerners have a long history of eating mutton, and many people like mutton. Because of the lack of pastoral areas in the south, some people have never even eaten mutton. Not only that, but for various reasons, the mutton bought by many southerners gives people the impression that it is full of smell, so that they cover their noses and run away when they see it. It is incomprehensible that anyone would like lamb.

In fact, good mutton does not smell bad, just like good river fish does not smell fishy, ​​and good seafood does not smell bad.

Of course, sheep raised in pastoral areas do not take a bath all year round and have no conditions to take a bath. When they are alive, they must inevitably smell of mutton, but after the sheep are slaughtered, they may not necessarily have a mutton smell.

In addition, the sex of the sheep will also determine the quality of the meat.

Ewes are not tasty, because their meat is soft and tough. Ewes that have given birth multiple times are more like sow pork, chewing but not rotten, and tasteless to eat.

Rams are also not tasty, full of smell, hard and tough meat, as breeding sheep, more like breeding pigs, taste like chewing wax, with abnormal smell.

The only delicious mutton is eunuch sheep, also known as Jie sheep.

Jie sheep are castrated newborn rams, that is, castrated, and raised to grow up.

In pastoral areas, newborn ewes will be used for further breeding, and a flock of hundreds or even thousands of sheep will only have one ram as a breeding sheep, and the rest of the rams are all Jie sheep.

In the south, it is difficult to imitate this farming method. The scope of captive breeding is limited, and the number of ewes cannot be increased without limit. Therefore, most ewes have to be raised and sold. Castration of lambs is a technical job. It is meaningless to castrate unclean sheep. will kill the lamb.

On the grassland, even if not every herdsman is good at castration, you can always find a few good ones from all over the world. In non-traditional breeding areas, there are not many people who can do this, and the taste is naturally uneven. Equally difficult is the castration of horses. The PLA Animal Husbandry University will teach veterinarians how to castrate military horses, so as not to cause too many military horses to die on the operating table due to technical problems.

As a graduate student majoring in biology, Yang Rui, with a little attention, is a professional foodie, not to mention choosing mutton. He has also done a flavor analysis of mutton. As far as foreign conclusions are concerned, 4-methyl octanoic acid, 4- Methyl nonanoic acid and 4-ethyl octanoic acid are the main contributors to the smell of mutton. The research on removing the smell based on this has also supported some experts and professors.

The ginger slices, peppers, and garlic that Yang Rui used to marinate the meat all have the effect of deodorization, and the mutton with excellent variety, gender, age, feeding conditions, and location, stir-fried for only two minutes, and more than 1,000 alkanes Aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, lactones and heterocyclic compounds began to gather in the air, causing mouth water.

"Go to the firewood room and get some charcoal to suppress the fire." Yang Rui saw that all the mutton was two or three times ripe, so he stopped and ordered Zhang Boming.

"Why do you want me to do it? Do your own business." Zhang Boming was upset.

Yang Rui heheed twice, and said: "You are begging for nothing to stay in my dormitory,

Still want to stop working? Get out if you don't do it. "

Zhang Boming didn't want to sit there waiting for food, and said, "I'm not used to doing this."

"Forget it, I'll go." Jing Yulan got up slowly.

"You are a guest, he came uninvited, and you don't let him do something, he is too embarrassed to stay." Yang Rui didn't drive Zhang Boming away, because he was worried that Jing Yulan would leave to avoid gossip, but he made a point Zhang Boming is natural.

Why did Zhang Boming ask Jing Yulan to carry coal, complained a few words and went to the woodshed.

After returning, Yang Rui asked him to put the coal on the fire, changed an aluminum pot, and waved him away.

Zhang Boming snorted, and said, "Pretend to see what you can do?"

"Don't eat anything." Yang Rui didn't save him any face.

Jing Yulan smiled slightly and turned her head away. Even she couldn't bear such a delicious taste. Zhang Boming probably struggled for a while between having meat and eating it.

Yang Rui slowly washed the potatoes in the bag and cut them into pieces, and spread them flat in the aluminum pot. The mutton was placed on top of the potatoes one by one, without directly touching the bottom of the pot.

Jing Yulan washed her hands, helped him, and smiled at the same time: "You cook like this, do you often cook by yourself?"

"In the past six months or so, I got something good, so I tried to make it, so as not to waste it to the master. He has been cooking big pots for more than ten years, and he almost forgot how to do it." Yang Rui chatted, After arranging the pot, press it with a lid, wrap a towel around it, and it is considered complete, said: "This dish is called mutton quilt. When the stuffing is done, the meat is tender but not greasy, and the potatoes are cooked in mutton fat." , on the contrary, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious, the only thing to pay attention to is the mutton, the material is the most important."

Jing Yulan laughed in embarrassment, and helped Yang Rui pour water into the basin, asked him to wash his hands, and asked curiously: "Is there really no lamb ribs in the dinner prepared at school today?"

"Most of them are reserved for them, and I brought back the small ribs." The lamb ribs are similar to the pork ribs, they are meat with only one flat rib, and the bone in the middle not only does not affect the food, but is also convenient take. At the same time, the meat quality of the short ribs is also the most delicious, which can maintain the toughness of the meat without being too tough to bite. In addition, the lamb ribs are also fat and thin, neither too greasy nor too dry. It is the best material for stewing and other dishes.

Jing Yulan felt that Yang Rui's ability to rob the school's visiting group was powerful enough, so she smiled lightly, "Aren't you afraid of people talking?"

Yang Rui shook his head and said, "Eat some of the meat I bought and give it to the school. If the recipient still feels unhappy, then something is wrong."

"It seems quite reasonable."

"I do have a reason."

"This sheep costs a lot of money, right? How can you afford it?" Jing Yulan had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, so she said it out.

In the 1980s, people’s wages were about the same. Those with a salary of 100 yuan a month were high-level cadres, and apprentices with 24 yuan could not starve to death. The prices of materials on the market also had standards, and the state had the final say on whether to raise prices For example, the price of tobacco and alcohol is controlled by the State Council, so when everyone talks about income and expenditure, it is very natural, and they never hide.

Yang Rui gradually got used to this atmosphere, covered his hands with a teacup, and said: "I published some articles in newspapers and magazines, and I got paid for them. In addition, my papers were favored by the British, and based on this, I made western papers." WestJet factory, through the WestJet factory, I can get meat from the Westburg meat joint factory that does not require a receipt."

Buying meat without a receipt is a backdoor behavior. Everyone condemns them in public and praises their abilities behind their backs.

Zhang Boming felt that Yang Rui was showing off, so he curled his lips and said, "You buy so much meat at once, don't be poor in two days, and don't know how to save some money?"

Jing Yulan also said concerned: "Yeah, why did you buy so much meat at once? What were you going to do?"

"I was going to eat for two or three days." Yang Rui waved his hand to show that he was fine, and said, "I often have students come here to eat, I will make more, whoever has no oil in their stomachs can come, and they can still eat." Make people poor?"

"How can you eat endlessly? If you eat meat like you, how much money you have is not enough." Jing Yulan said angrily: "My monthly salary is 58 yuan, and I eat in the school cafeteria. There is not much left at the end of the month. You No matter how much the manuscript fee is, you can’t just sit and eat. Forget it, we won’t eat at your place, we’d better go to the cafeteria, and you should save a little, and don’t buy so much meat in the future.”

Jing Yulan said that she was about to go out.

Yang Rui hurriedly grabbed her, and said with a wry smile, "I'm going to leave as soon as I say it, like a child, I say enough is enough."

"You are the child." Jing Yulan is 26 years old, she feels older than Yang Rui, and she is also his tutor, and she immediately blush when he said that.

Although Zhang Boming was greedy, he instinctively didn't want Jing Yulan to stay in Yang Rui's dormitory, and said, "Don't slap your face swollen and make yourself fat. I have also collected the manuscript fee, and there are a few cents. You can get it." No matter how much you buy, can you get dozens of dollars?"

"You published poetry, right?" Yang Rui said.

Zhang Boming seemed to be scratched to the itch, with a smile on his face: "Why is it not poetry, modern poetry, there are long and short ones, and the one I received the most money for was published in Pingjiang Daily. bucks."

"That's right, the one I published the most is in Science Pictorial." Yang Rui opened the drawer of the desk, flipped through it, took out a palm-sized manuscript fee notice, and said, "It's not as complete as yours, the total is two thousand and thirty-seven." piece."

There must be a legal explanation for his income, otherwise he would be courting death in the 1980s, so Yang Rui put the manuscript fee notices in a drawer.

Zhang Boming felt bad when he heard Science Pictorial, but when he heard 2,037 yuan, he still smiled and said, "Your family runs the magazine? Let me see, this manuscript fee notice is like It's really the same, the number changed later..."

Snapped!

Yang Rui threw out another passbook and said, "Can this thing be changed?"

Zhang Boming didn't want to read it, but was moved by a strong emotion, and opened it silently.

The passbook is handwritten, the characters are small and thin, but it is very clear. A single entry of more than 100 yuan, a single income of more than 200 yuan, are lined up one by one, and finally the deposit of 2037 yuan...

Zhang Boming had an inexplicable feeling that the world was collapsing.

A minute ago, what he saw in his eyes was Jing Yulan, what he smelled in his nose was the smell of meat, and he felt dizzy as if in a fairy tale world...

It is a pity that this fairy tale world does not belong to him.

Zhang Boming's confident appearance is no match for Yang Rui; Zhang Boming's confident academic qualifications will soon be surpassed by Yang Rui; Zhang Boming's confident family background is also shattered by Yang Rui's 2,000 yuan manuscript fee.

It's like Gao Fushuai met Pan Lu Deng Xiaoxian, there is a gap in grade between the two.

"I...I'm going back." Zhang Boming couldn't stay in the room anymore, he stood at the door and waited for a while, hoping that Jing Yulan would ask to keep him, or go with him.

Ten seconds later, Zhang Boming didn't get the desired result, and he pushed the door out depressed, thinking about counterattack tactics in his mind.
