After discussing how to deal with the mutton, the four of them got to work.
Mu Yunxi went to the stove to boil water.
Mu Yunshu and Sheng Zhiyi began to sharpen their knives, preparing to remove the skin from the sheep.
The furs of these three wild goats are very good. If we can take off their skins intact and process them properly, it will be no problem to make two or three coats.
Even if it is not made into a coat, it is enough to make a mattress to keep warm.
Mu Yunshu and Sheng Zhiyi silently quickened their movements.
Han Aiguo began plucking the feathers of several pheasants in the basin.
Several people were doing their own jobs, and the kitchen was bustling with activity.
Mu Yunxi boiled some water and joined the plucking team.
After Mu Yunxi and Han Aiguo cleaned all the feathers off the pheasants...
Mu Yunshu and Sheng Zhiyi had each peeled off a complete piece of sheepskin.
Mu Yunxi looked at the two pieces of sheepskin and couldn't help but admire them in her heart.
These two sheepskins were skinned to perfection.
From the sheep's neck to its abdomen, back and limbs, there was no damage or tear.
The edges are neat and smooth, and the entire sheepskin is stretched perfectly.
It's like a layer of exquisite outer coat that naturally falls off a sheep, with every inch of fur still intact and attached to it.
Even the smallest parts are well preserved, the leather surface is smooth and textured, without any damage, which shows how superb and exquisite their skinning skills are.
After skinning the three wild goats...
Mu Yunshu and Sheng Zhiyi deftly peeled off the fur of several wild rabbits.
These wild rabbits are plump because of all the food they eat, and their fur is smooth and shiny. They look very nice when made into hats and gloves.
After processing the furs of all the prey, several people began to decompose the wild goats.
The first one to be dismembered was the ewe.
Open the cavity... and take out all the internal organs...
Then they began to cut up the ewe's body.
Divide the sheep's body into two halves along the spine, and then separate the sheep's limbs from the joints.
Front leg... hind leg... back... ribs...
Divide by different parts...
After the division is completed...
Mu Yunxi began to further process the ewe according to different parts.
The lamb ribs and lamb chops are first marinated with salt, pepper, cumin, etc....various seasonings.
Let them fully absorb the aroma of the seasoning so that they will taste better when they are baked.
Lamb legs, two are used to make braised lamb legs, and two are used to stew lamb soup.
Mu Yunxi cut the back meat into appropriate small pieces, marinated it with salt, pepper and other seasonings, and prepared to use it to make fried lamb tenderloin tomorrow.
As for those three sheep heads...
After Mu Yunxi cleaned them, she stewed them in a marinade made from a variety of spices including cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, chili peppers, star anise, and tsaoko.
Even the pot of marinade used for braised beef at noon was poured in by Mu Yunxi.
The fragrance instantly spread throughout the kitchen.
Even though the sheep's head is not fully cooked, the aroma in the pot is already extremely tempting.
Fortunately, they lived at the end of the village.
The southeast wind was blowing again today, and the fragrance was blowing in the completely opposite direction of the village.
Otherwise... I don’t know how many children will cry out of envy.
......
The four of them worked for several hours before they finally managed to deal with all the sheep.
They also completely cut up the two male goats, removed the bones, and cut the meat into even-sized pieces.
Then put it into two large wooden basins and add the necessary seasonings for marinating.
Marinate overnight...
Tomorrow I'll put them in the earthen oven in the backyard and bake them into jerky.
The sheep heads were almost done braising by this time.
Soak them in the marinade overnight to allow the aroma of the marinade to penetrate into the meat. They are delicious whether eaten directly or used in cold dishes.
The braised lamb legs were already out of the pot early.
Even the stewed mutton soup has reached the perfect temperature for consumption.
Each of the four of them had a bowl of mutton soup...
Then he shoveled the charcoal fire burning in the stove into the two small stoves and started to barbecue.
