Yang Rui is devoted to his mutton.

There are few pastoral areas in Hedong, and there are none near Xibao town. This pot of mutton is the Jieyang sheep that came back from ningxiala when Xibao meat factory sent a car to buy new year's welfare. Yang Rui heard that through his uncle, Fang picked a good sheep weighing 30 jin in the name of Xijie factory.

Compared with the local captive sheep in Hedong, it is especially delicious to drink the water from the Yellow River and eat licorice.

This is because the stocking area is larger, the sheep are isolated from the world, the risk of getting sick is smaller, the use of drugs is less, and some sheep with weak disease resistance but good meat quality are stocked. In contrast, the living space of captive sheep is small, and the environment is not as clean as the pastoral area. In order to resist diseases, we should first choose varieties with strong disease resistance ability, and strengthen the use of drugs.

It is the variety and breeding methods that make mutton delicious in the north and south.

Northern people have a long history of eating mutton, and many people like mutton. Due to the lack of pastoral areas in the south, some people have never even eaten mutton. Not only that, many southerners buy mutton for various reasons, which gives people the impression that it is full of smell, so that when they see it, they hide their noses and run away. It is difficult to understand that some people like mutton.

In fact, good mutton doesn't stink, just like good river food doesn't stink, good seafood doesn't stink.

Of course, sheep kept in pastoral areas do not bathe all the year round, and there is no condition to bathe. When they are alive, they must smell of mutton, but when they are slaughtered, they may not smell of mutton.

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

Ewe is not delicious, because its meat is soft and tough, multiple birth ewe is more like sow meat, chewing but not rotten, tasteless food.

Ram is also not delicious. It has a strong smell of mutton, and its meat is hard and tough. As a breeding sheep, ram is more like a breeding pig. It tastes like a pig, and has an unusual smell of mutton.

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

Jieyang is a new born ram castrated, that is, after castration, raised.

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

In the south, it is difficult to follow this kind of breeding method. The range of captive breeding is limited, and the number of ewes can not be increased without limit. Therefore, most ewes have to be raised and sold. Castration of lambs is a technical work. It is meaningless to castrate them unclearly, and too much castration will kill the lambs.

On the grassland, even if not every herdsman is good at castration, there are always several skilled herdsmen from all over the country. In the non-traditional breeding area, there are not many people who can do this, and the taste is naturally uneven. It is also difficult to castrate horses. The animal husbandry University of the PLA has to teach veterinarians how to castrate military horses, so as not to cause too many military horses to die on the operating table because of technical problems.

Yang Rui, as a graduate student majoring in biology, is a professional eater, let alone mutton. He has also done the flavor analysis of mutton. According to the foreign conclusion, 4-methyloctanoic acid, 4-methylnonanoic acid and 4-ethyloctanoic acid are the main providers of mutton smell. The research on mutton deodorization based on this also feeds some experts and professors.

Yang Rui's ginger slices, peppers and garlic, which are used to pickle meat, all have the function of removing the smell. In addition to the excellent mutton in variety, sex, age, feeding conditions and location, more than 1000 kinds of alkanes, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, lactones and heterocyclic compounds began to gather in the air in only two minutes of frying, which attracted the flow of people.

"Go to the wood room and get some charcoal to press down the fire." Yang Rui saw that all the mutton was two or three mature. He just stopped and ordered Zhang Boming.

"Why do you want me to do it? Do your own business, do it yourself. " Zhang Boming is not happy.

Yang Rui ha ha two, way: "you beg for nothing to stay in my dormitory, still want to work?"? If you don't do it, go away. "

Zhang Boming is not good either. Bai Lai is waiting for food and says, "I'm not used to this."

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

"You are a guest, he is uninvited, you do not let him do something, he is also embarrassed to stay." Yang Rui didn't get rid of Zhang Boming because he was worried that Jing Yulan would leave in order to avoid rumors, but it's natural for Zhang Boming to be instructed.

How can Zhang Boming let Jing Yulan move coal? He complains that he has gone to the Chaifang.

After he came back, Yang Rui asked him to press the coal on the fire, change an aluminum pot and wave it away.

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

"Don't eat the seed." Yang Rui didn't give him any face.Jing Yulan smiles and turns her head. Even she couldn't help the smell. Zhang Boming estimated that he would have to struggle between having seeds and having meat for a while.

Yang Rui slowly washes the potatoes in the bag, cuts them into pieces, and lays them flat in the aluminum pot. The mutton is put on the potatoes one by one, not directly touching the bottom of the pot.

Jing Yulan washed his hands and gave him a hand. At the same time, he said with a smile, "what you do is quite like going back. Do you often cook by yourself?"

"In the last six months, I've got good things, so I'll try to make them, so as not to waste them for the master. He's been cooking a big pot for more than ten years, and he's almost forgotten how to make them." While chatting, Yang Rui finished the arrangement of the pot, then pressed the lid on it, rolled a towel around it, and said: "this dish is called mutton quilt. When it's stuffy, the meat is tender but not greasy. When the potatoes are wrapped in mutton, they are crisp outside and tender inside. It's delicious. The only thing to pay attention to is mutton. The material is the most important. "

Jing Yulan, embarrassed to smile, helped Yang Rui pour water into the basin and asked him to wash his hands. He asked curiously, "is there really no lamb ribs for the dinner prepared at school today?"

"They keep most of them, and I brought them back." Similar to pig chops, sheep chops are meat with only one flat rib. The bone in the middle not only does not affect eating, but also is convenient to hold. At the same time, the meat quality of the small steak is also the most delicious, which can maintain the toughness of the meat, but not too tough to bite. In addition, lamb ribs are also fat and thin, neither too greasy nor too firewood, which is the best material for stewing and other dishes.

Jing Yulan thinks that Yang Rui can rob the meat of the school's reception group. He laughs and says, "are you not afraid of being told?"

Yang Rui shook his head and said, "I'll eat some of the meat I bought and give it to the school. If the recipient is still unhappy, it's wrong."

"It seems reasonable."

"I do have a point."

"Does this sheep cost a lot of money? How can you afford it? " Jing Yulan wanted to ask this question for a long time. He said it when he had nothing to do.

80 The wages of the people in the 1990s are almost the same. 100 salaries a month are senior cadres. Apprenticeship is also 24 yuan, starving, and the prices of goods and materials in the market are also standard. The price has the final say of the state, such as the price of cigarettes and alcohol, which is controlled by * * * * * *, so when we talk about income and expenditure, it is natural. Never hide.

Yang Rui gradually got used to this kind of atmosphere. He held his tea cup and covered his hand. He said, "I published some articles in newspapers and magazines with contribution fee. In addition, my paper was favored by the British. Based on this, Xijie factory was built. Through Xijie factory, I can get meat without bills from Xibao meat factory."

Buying meat without bills is a kind of back door behavior. People speak words of condemnation in public and praise people's ability behind their back.

Zhang Boming thought Yang Rui was showing off. He said, "if you buy so much meat at a time, don't be poor in two days. Don't you know how to save some money?"

Jing Yulan also cared: "yes, why did you buy so much meat at one time? What were you going to do?"

"I was going to eat it for two or three days." Yang Rui waved his hand to show that he had nothing to do, and then said, "I often have students here to rub their meals. I'll do more. Who will come when he has no oil in his stomach and eat poor?"

"I can't afford to eat poor. I can't afford to eat meat like you do." Jing Yulan said angrily, "I get 58 yuan a month. I eat in the school canteen, and I can't get much left by the end of the month. No matter how much you pay for your contribution, you can't sit back and eat nothing. Forget it, we don't eat here. We'd better go to the canteen. You can save a little. Don't buy so much meat in the future. "

Jing Yulan is about to go out.

Yang Rui quickly grabbed her and said with a bitter smile, "how can I say that I'm going to leave? Like a child, I say enough is enough."

"You are the child." Jing Yulan is 26 years old. He is older than Yang Rui. He is also his tutor. When he says this, he will blush immediately.

Although Zhang Boming was greedy, he instinctively didn't want Jing Yulan to stay in Yang Rui's dormitory. He also said, "you don't want to make a fat face. I've also collected the contribution fee. You can make dozens of Yuan no matter how much you make?"

"Are you publishing poetry?" Yang Rui said so.

Zhang Boming seemed to have been scratched to the itch, and his face showed a smile: "it's not poetry, modern poetry, there are long and short, the one I receive the most is published in Pingjiang daily, a total of 6 yuan."

"Yes, the one I published the most was in science pictorial." Yang Rui opened the drawer of his desk, turned it over, took out a notice about the size of his palm, and said, "it's not as big as you. It's 2037 yuan in total."There must be a legal explanation for his income, otherwise he would be looking for death in the 1980s. Therefore, Yang Rui put the notice of contribution fee in the drawer.

When Zhang Boming heard the science pictorial, he thought it was not good. But when he heard 2037 yuan, he still laughed and said, "do you think the magazine is run by your family? Let me see. The notice seems to be true. Let's change the number in the back... "

Pop!

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

Zhang Boming didn't want to see it, but he was moved by the strong mood and turned it silently.

The passbook is handwritten. The words are small and thin, but they are very clear. A single sum of more than 100 yuan, a single sum of more than 200 yuan of income, one by one, and finally 2037 yuan of deposit

Zhang Boming has a sense of collapse of the world.

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

Unfortunately, this fairy tale world does not belong to him.

Zhang Boming is more confident than Yang Rui; Zhang Boming's self-confident education will soon be surpassed by Yang Rui; Zhang Boming's self-confident family background was also shattered by Yang Rui's 2000 yuan contribution fee.

It's like Gao Fu Shuai meets pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian. There is a gap between them in terms of grade.

"I... I went back." Zhang Boming couldn't stay in his room any longer. He stood at the door and waited for a moment, hoping that Jing Yulan would open his mouth to keep him or go with him.

Ten seconds later, Zhang Boming didn't get the expected result. He pushed the door depressed and kept thinking about counter attack tactics in his heart.
