Yang Rui devoted himself to fiddling with his mutton.

There are few pastoral areas in Hedong, and there is not even one near Xibao Town. This pot of mutton is still the Jie sheep pulled back from Ning Xia when Xibao Meat Union Factory sent a car to purchase New Year's Day welfare. Yang Rui heard that through his uncle, Fang Fang, in the name of Xijie Factory, picked a good sheep weighing 30 kilograms.

Compared with the local captive sheep in Hedong, the free sheep that grew up drinking the Yellow River water and eating licorice is particularly delicious.

This is because the free-range area is larger, the sheep are isolated from the world, the chance of getting infected is smaller, and the medicine can be used less, and some sheep with weak disease resistance but meatyness are freed. In contrast, the sheep raised in captivity has a small space for movement and the environment is not as clean as the pastoral area. In order to resist the disease, first of all, varieties with strong disease resistance must be selected and the use of medicines must be strengthened.

It is precisely the difference between varieties and breeding methods that make the delicious mutton differentiate between the north and the south.

Northerners 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 give people the impression that it is full of smell, so that they cover their noses and run away when they see it, making it difficult to understand that some people like mutton.

In fact, good mutton is not smelly, just like good river food will not smell fishy, ​​and good seafood will not smell bad.

Of course, because sheep in pastoral areas do not take a bath all year round and do not have the conditions to take a bath, they will inevitably have a mutton smell when they are alive, but after the sheep are slaughtered, they may not necessarily have a mutton smell.

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

Ewes are not delicious because of their soft and tough meat. Ewes that have been born many times are more like sow meat, chewed without rotten, and they are tasteless to eat.

The ram is not delicious, it has a strong smell of mutton and its flesh is hard and tough. As a breeding sheep, the ram is more like a breeding pig, with the same taste as wax, which is extremely mutton and fishy.

The only delicious mutton is the eunuch sheep, which is the so-called keratin sheep.

The Capricorn sheep castrate the newborn ram, that is, they grow up after castration.

In pastoral areas, new ewes will be used to continue breeding. There will be only one ram for the flock of hundreds or even thousands of sheep. The remaining rams are all Capricorns.

In the south, it is difficult to imitate this breeding method. The scope of captivity is limited and the number of ewes cannot be increased without limit. Therefore, most ewes have to be raised and sold, but castration of lambs is a technical job. It is meaningless to castrate unclearly. Too castration will cause the lambs to die.

On the grassland, even if not every herdsman is good at castration, there are always a few people in the village who are good at castration. However, in non-traditional breeding areas, there are not many people who can do this, and the taste is naturally uneven. The same difficulty is horse castration. The People's Liberation Army Animal Husbandry University will specially 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 in biology, Yang Rui is a professional foodie. Not to mention choosing mutton, he has also made mutton flavor analysis. According to foreign conclusions, 4-methyl octanoic acid, 4-methylnonoic acid and 4-ethyl octanoic acid are the main providers of mutton mutton mutton. The research on mutton removal based on this has also greatly supported some experts and professors.

The ginger slices, peppers and garlic used by Yang Rui to cure meat have the effect of removing the odor. In addition, the mutton with extremely excellent variety, gender, age, feeding conditions and location, it only took two minutes to stir-fry more than 1,000 alkanes, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, lactones and heterocyclic compounds to gather in the air, causing the population to flow.

"Go to the woodshed to get some charcoal and press the fire." Yang Rui saw that all the mutton was ripe two or three, and then stopped and ordered Zhang Boming.

"Why do you have to do it? Do your own business by yourself." Zhang Boming was unhappy.

Yang Rui laughed twice and said, "You are staying in my dormitory for nothing. Still want to stop working? If you don't do it, get out."

Zhang Boming didn't want to stay there for nothing, and said, "I can't do these things."

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

"You are a guest, he comes uninvited. If you don't let him do something, he will feel embarrassed to stay." Yang Rui did not drive Zhang Boming away because he was worried that Jing Yulan would leave in order to avoid rumors, but it would be natural to send Zhang Boming.

How could Zhang Boming let Jing Yulan move coal? He complained and went to the woodshed.

After returning, Yang Rui asked him to press the coal he sent onto the fire, changed into an aluminum pot, and waved his hand to let him go.

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

"If you have a vegetation, don't eat it." Yang Rui didn't leave any face for him.

Jing Yulan smiled slightly and turned her head over. Even she couldn't help but smell so fragrant. Zhang Boming probably had to worry about having sex and having meat for a while.

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

Jing Yulan washed her hands and helped him, and said with a smile: "You make a lot of things, and you often cook by yourself?"

"I've got some good things in the past six months, so I tried to make them so as not to waste them on the master. He has been cooking a big pot rice for more than ten years, and I almost forgot how to make the fried fried food." Yang Rui chatted while laying the pot, pressing it with a lid, and rolling a towel around it. It was done, and said: "This dish is called mutton quilt. When it is stuffy, the meat is tender but not greasy. The potatoes are wrapped in mutton oil, but they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is very delicious. The only thing to pay attention to is mutton, and the ingredients are the most important."

Jing Yulan was embarrassed to laugh, so she helped Yang Rui pour water into the basin, asked him to wash his hands, and asked curiously: "The supper prepared in school today is really not mutton ribs?"

"Most of them are kept for them, so I will take back the small steak." The small steaks are similar to the small steaks. They are all wearing meat with only a flat rib. The bones in the middle do not affect consumption, but are also convenient for hand-held. At the same time, the meat of the small steaks is the most delicious, which can not only maintain the toughness of the meat, but also not too tough to bite. In addition, the small steaks are also fat and thin, not too greasy or too tiring. They are the best ingredients for cooking dishes such as stew.

Jing Yulan felt that Yang Rui was able to rob the school entertainment tour group, which was great enough, and chuckled and said, "Are you afraid of people talking?"

Yang Rui shook his head and said, "I will eat some of the meat I bought myself and give it to the school. If the person who accepts the gift is still unhappy, that would be wrong."

"It seems quite reasonable."

"I do make sense."

"This sheep costs a lot, right? How can you afford it?" Jing Yulan had wanted to ask this question for a long time, and she said it without any trouble.

In the 1980s, people's salary was about the same. Senior cadres were paid 100 yuan a month, and apprentices could not starve to death. The prices of materials in the market were also standard. Whether the price rose or not was determined by the state. For example, the price of tobacco and alcohol was managed by the State Council. Therefore, it was natural when everyone talked about income and expenditure, and never hid.

Yang Rui gradually got used to this atmosphere, holding a teacup and covering his hands, saying, "I have published some articles in newspapers and magazines, and I have royalties. In addition, my papers were spotted by the British and built the WestJet factory based on this. Through the WestJet factory, I can get meat from the WestJet meat factory that does not have any receipts."

Buying meat without bills is a backdoor behavior. Everyone says condemns in public and praises people behind their backs.

Zhang Boming felt that Yang Rui was showing off, and curled his lips and said, "You buy so much meat at a time, don't eat it for two days. Don't you know how to save some money for it?"

Jing Yulan also said with concern: "Yes, 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 and said, "I often have students here to eat for free. I'll make more money. Who will come when there is no oil in the stomach? Will eating make people poor?"

"Why are you eating so poorly? Eating meat like you is not enough." Jing Yulan said angrily: "I have a monthly salary of 58 yuan. I eat in the school cafeteria, and I won't have much left by the end of the month. No matter how much your royalties are, you can't live in the sacrificial area. Forget it, we won't eat with you anymore. Let's go to the cafeteria. You can save some money and don't buy so much meat in the future."

Jing Yulan said as she was about to go out.

Yang Rui quickly grabbed her and smiled bitterly: "Why are you leaving as you say it? Like a child, I say enough is enough."

"You are a child." Jing Yulan is 26 years old and feels older than Yang Rui, and is still his tutor. When he said this, he immediately blushed.

Although Zhang Boming was greedy, he instinctively didn't want Jing Yulan to stay in Yang Rui's dormitory and said, "Don't just pretend to be fat. I have also collected royalties, and I have some cents. No matter how much you make, how many dozens of dollars can you make?"

"You are publishing poetry, right?" Yang Rui said this.

Zhang Boming seemed to be scratched to the itchy place, and a smile appeared on his face: "Why is it not poetry, modern poetry, both long and short. The article I received the most was published in Pingjiang Daily, which cost a full 6 yuan."

"That's great. The one I published the most is in Science Pictorial." Yang Rui opened the drawer of the desk, flipped through it, took out the notice of the royalty as much as a slap, and said: "It's not as good as you, it's a total of 2,037 yuan."

His income must have a legal explanation, otherwise he would be seeking death in the 1980s, so Yang Rui put all the notices on royalties in the drawer.

Zhang Boming felt that it was not good when he heard the Science Pictorial, but when he heard the 2,037 yuan, he still smiled and said, "Do you think the magazine was issued by your family? Let me see, this royalty notice is still as real as the number changed later..."

Bang!

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

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

The passbook is handwritten, with small and detailed characters, but very clear. The single transaction costs more than 100 yuan and a single transaction costs more than 200 yuan, and the last one is deposited at 2,037 yuan...

Zhang Boming inexplicably felt like the world collapsed.

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

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

Zhang Boming's confident appearance is not as good as Yang Rui; Zhang Boming's confident education will soon be surpassed by Yang Rui; Zhang Boming's confident family background is also shattered by Yang Rui's 2,000 yuan royalty.

It’s like a rich and handsome man met Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian, and there was a difference in grade between the two.

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

Ten seconds later, Zhang Boming did not get the expected result and pushed the door out depressedly, constantly thinking about counterattacking tricks in his heart.
