Chapter 140 Lamb
She raised her voice and called out, and Dahuang came running over, wagging his tail.
Following behind him were Little Yellow, Little Flower and Little Black.
The dog and the leopard could not finish a wolf in one meal, so she only cooked part of it.
Wolf meat is red meat, and it will be red when cooked. Use chopsticks to pick out the meat and put it in the food bowls of several dogs, and then put the pot of clear mutton back on the stove.
"Eat it."
After he finished speaking, the dogs lowered their heads and started eating the meat.
Huhu and Xuebing are almost one year old. Their fur is smooth and Zhao Yeqing can't help but stroke them when he feeds them.
The silk was smooth and shiny, with clear patterns, just like their mother when she first saw her.
Maybe they were full after eating outside, so they ate two pieces of Two Leopards and stopped eating.
The mutton is almost done stewing, and it’s time to marinate the lamb chops.
Place the lamb chops on the grill and roast two heads of garlic next to them.
Both of them like to eat garlic, but not like in cities further north where they eat raw garlic because it is too spicy.
They prefer roasted garlic. Roasted garlic does not have a spicy taste, but is slightly sweet and retains the garlic aroma, making it perfect for eating with barbecue.
When grilling meat, you have to stay by the fire all the time. Mu Xi was stewing the wolf meat, and she was flipping the lamb chops.
The fire was strong enough and the fat started to sizzle from the lamb chops after just five minutes of grilling.
When they first arrived at the meadow, the sheep were relatively thin. After several months of being well fed and well cared for, the sheep had grown plump and white.
There is a circle of oil on the edge of the lamb chops. Under the high temperature of the charcoal fire, the fat inside is roasted out, and the oil edge becomes golden and crispy.
After both sides of the lamb chops were roasted, Zhao Yeqing sprinkled a layer of fine cumin powder on them.
The aroma of mutton and cumin lingered in the kitchen. Mu Xi opened the lid of the pot and poked the wolf meat with chopsticks. The wolf meat was very lean and had little fat, and the texture was very firm.
"The wolf meat still needs to be stewed for a while, let's eat the lamb chops first."
Zhao Yeqing picked up a piece, put it on the plate and handed it to him.
Mu Xi took the plate and sat opposite her. Not afraid of the heat, he grabbed the bone part of the lamb chops and started gnawing on it.
The fat in the mutton is evenly distributed and it is roasted to perfect perfection, with the fat crispy and the lean meat still tender, leaving a lingering fragrance without any mutton smell.
Zhao Yeqing was stunned.
"Why doesn't this sheep smell like mutton?"
She could accept the smell of mutton, but this mutton not only had almost no smell, but the fat also had a hint of milky flavor.
It’s so delicious that I cried.
Generally speaking, goats have a stronger mutton smell than sheep, but this mutton smell can be said to be very slight.
Mu Xi recalled the information he had read before, "It is said that sheep raised on grasslands have a lot of exercise and eat a variety of grasses on the grassland, so they don't have much smell."
Zhao Yeqing took a bite of mutton and a bite of garlic. The more he ate, the more worried he became. After eating this mutton, he might not like any other meat anymore.
When the lamb chops are almost finished, the boiled lamb is ready to be served.
They took two bowls for noodles and each of them had a large bowl of soup and mutton.
The mutton is very refreshing, and the radish added in it has a hint of sweetness. The greasiness of the grilled lamb chops I just ate was immediately alleviated by the radish.
After drinking the mutton soup, I felt warm all over.
The wolf meat in the stew pot also gave off an aroma. Mu Xi opened the lid and brought the whole pot over.
Zhao Yeqing picked up a piece with his chopsticks. The meat was firm and without the fishy smell. It tasted okay, but there was nothing special about it.
Not as good as mutton, or even as good as chicken or duck.
"I don't know what the mentality is of those who buy wild animals to eat. They eat wild boars and wolves, but it's really better to eat domestic pork that costs more than ten yuan per pound."
It was also the first time for Mu Xi to eat this, so he was not interested. "Then I won't eat it. I'll feed it to the dog tomorrow."
The dogs and leopards liked it, and the dogs ate quite a bit.
Zhao Yeqing put the pot of cooked wolf meat away, and put wolf meat in the food bowls of several dogs early the next morning.
It didn't snow last night, so most of the snow on the meadow has melted. Today we have to hurry and harvest the grass.
The ryegrass is now as tall as your hips. Put on gloves, hold the ryegrass, and cut with a sickle two centimeters above the root.
Ryegrass can also grow again, provided that the roots are left more than one centimeter long.
The grass harvest was good. After all, unlike crops like rice, one didn't have to be too careful when harvesting. One could just grab a handful and start harvesting. The two of them could finish harvesting it all in one afternoon.
The cut grass piled on the ground was very spectacular. If it was piled into one pile, it would be as high as the small hill next to it.
Xiaohong waited on the side pulling a cart, fed the cat a handful of fresh hay, and then started loading the hay onto the cart.
The grass is not heavy, so try to tie it up in bundles with ropes, so that you can transport it less frequently.
The yield of ryegrass per mu is 8,000 to 10,000 kilograms. It is impossible to weigh it, but it looks like it should be around 8,000 kilograms.
Xiaohong can only pull about 100 kilograms at a time, while the cow can pull more, but it is a bit slow.
There is only one cart at home, and I don’t know how long it will take to pull the cart there.
It takes a long time to make a cart. Zhao Yeqing thought, "Why not put together some wooden boards, make a big board, nail two rows of railings on the side, and don't make wheels, it's too troublesome. Just put it on the ox and drag it directly on the ground."
When you have time, make two wheels and install them under the board, and it will become a cart again.
The newly harvested hay is used to make feed for the second silo. If this silo is filled up, there will be a severe shortage of feed this winter.
The two men spliced together large wooden boards and it took them two days to pull all the hay from one acre of land. Then they took out the cutter again, put the hay in and cut it into small pieces.
One person cuts the grass, and the other puts the cut grass into the silo.
It is not dry now and there is no strong sun. It took two days to cut the hay and there was not much moisture loss in the hay.
By the time the second silo was nearly half full, the first crop of ryegrass had been consumed.
It will take more than a month for the alfalfa to mature, and by then the forage in the first silo should be almost used up.
Zhao Yeqing prayed in his heart, hoping that the temperature would not drop too quickly.
-
But the facts tell us that people cannot set flags randomly.
She did not close the curtains before going to bed at night, and was awakened by the white outside the window early in the morning.
She needed a darker environment to fall asleep, but Mu Xi was not affected and slept soundly.
Zhao Yeqing got out of bed and walked to the window.
A snowflake just fell on the edge of the window frame in front of her. She looked out and saw snowflakes in the sky still slowly falling to the ground.
The original color of the meadow is no longer visible, and all that can be seen is white.
The snow outside was falling vertically and slowly, which meant there was no wind.
She gently pushed the bed open, and cold air poured in, along with snowflakes.
Mu Xi was awakened by the sound of the window being pushed open. There was an abnormal white light outside and he was still a little confused.
"Is it snowing?"
