Fu Shinian felt that handling the sheep was too dirty, so he said to Tong Yiya: "Xiaoya, tell me and Dong Weibing how to handle these sheep. You go cook and we will handle the sheep."
Tong Yiya saw that it was indeed getting late. The three of them had just eaten something in the morning and then went to the mountains. It had been so long, it was indeed time to eat, so she said, "Okay, I'll cook some noodles first, and then we'll have a good meal after the sheep is processed."
"Okay, then tell us first, what do you want to do with this sheep?" Fu Shinian said
Tong Yiya looked at the sheep piled outside and said to the two of them, "I thought we could use hot water to scald the sheep, just like shaving pig hair, to shave off the wool. This hair is much softer than pig hair, so we can collect it first. One day I'll soak it in some medicine to make it softer and remove the odor on the hair. After spring comes, I'll see what I can make of it."
"Okay, then we'll do as you say. We don't have a knife for shaving pig hair here," said Guard Dong.
"I have that stuff at home. I'll find it for you later. Let's boil some water first, and you can also roast some fire in the house. After we eat the noodles, the three of us can eat them together," said Tong Yiya.
After saying that, she went to get the pot and boiled a pot of water on the small clay stove. There were already two pots of water boiled on the big stove for blanching the sheep, so she could only cook on the small clay stove.
She boiled water first, then scooped some white flour, let the dough rise for a few minutes, then began to roll it out and finally cut it into noodles.
At this time, the water in the pot was boiling, so she started to cook the noodles. She put the noodles into the pot and said to Fu Shinian, "Fu Shinian, come here and help me watch the noodles in the pot. Don't let the water splash out. I'll go get some vegetables."
"Go ahead, I'll watch you," Fu Shinian replied.
Seeing that he knew, Tong Yiya left the kitchen and went to the vegetable garden to get some green onions, coriander, and spinach. She removed the roots and old leaves outside and returned to the kitchen to wash them.
Finally, after the noodles are cooked, put the washed Chinese cabbage in, blanch it and then take it out.
She didn't waste any more time preparing any toppings. She took out the canned food she had prepared before, put some in a bowl of noodles, added some salt for seasoning, sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander, and shouted to the two people who were working over there, "Alright, add some firewood to the stove, and come over to eat noodles."
"Okay, you eat first, we'll be there soon," Fu Shinian replied.
Tong Yiya took the pot of noodles off the stove and put it aside. When she was done, the two others came over. The three of them picked up their bowls and sat down beside the small clay stove to eat.
After eating the noodles, the water on the stove was boiled. Tong Yiya thought it was too cold to cook outside, so she said, "Let's put a wooden basin in the kitchen and cook it inside, otherwise it will be too cold outside."
"Will that make the kitchen full of fishy smell?" said Guard Dong
Tong Yiya: "It's okay. When we're done, we'll just clean it up and ventilate it overnight so there won't be any smell."
"Okay, then you go find the scraper, and the guard and I will get two to iron first," said Fu Shinian.
Tong Yiya responded, then left the kitchen and went to the pharmacy. She entered the pharmacy and took out three pieces of iron from the space. She waited for two or three minutes before coming out of the pharmacy.
When she returned to the kitchen and saw that the lamb had already been scalded in a basin, she handed the iron sheet to Fu Shinian and went out to find a small low table, which she brought to the kitchen to use as a chopping board so that she could put the woolened lamb on it to cut it up.
Fortunately, the two of them had helped in slaughtering pigs in the village, so they were quite adept at the job now.
Tong Yiya waited for the two men to finish processing one while she cut it up with a knife.
The main reason was that she wanted to help with shaving, but Fu Shinian said that the two of them were enough and asked her to sit by the fire.
There are so many sheep. If it were just one or two, she would have obediently gone to roast the fire, but looking at so many sheep, she would feel guilty if she didn't help.
Finally, she picked up the knife and started cutting the mutton. She did not throw away the sheep's internal organs, but dug them out and put them in a basin. She would wait until all the sheep were processed before slowly washing them.
Tong Yiya was thinking about picking mutton in the evening, so after cutting a lamb, she washed half of the meat and stewed it first.
It was stewed in a white sauce with some green onions and soy sauce cubes to remove the fishy smell. After the mutton was stewed, she continued to cut the mutton.
The three of them worked relatively quickly together. It took them about three hours to process all the dozen or so sheep.
He harvested more than 300 kilograms of meat in one go, but the smile on his face never changed.
Tong Yiya finished cutting up the last sheep and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock and it was almost dark outside. They had already lit the oil lamps and the stove was still burning in the kitchen so the room wasn't so dark.
After Fu Shinian and his companion finished with the last sheep, they began to collect the wool that was thrown aside into a basin and then swept the floor.
After he was done, he was going to come over to help Tong Yiya, but when he saw the internal organs in the basin on the ground, he asked, "Do you still want all of these?"
Tong Yiya looked up at him when she heard the voice. Seeing that he was looking at the internal organs in the basin on the ground, she replied, "Well, these things are cleaned up and stewed to be delicious."
"Then I'll go clean it up. This needs to be taken outside. Once you've cut the mutton, go cook first. We'll be back soon." Fu Shinian said as he squatted down, lifted the internal organs in the basin and left the kitchen.
Outside, he happened to meet guard Dong who had just returned from the toilet, and called him to help him process the sheep's internal organs.
After Tong Yiya finished cutting the mutton, she went to check on the stewed mutton. The meat had been stewed for more than two hours and was now completely boneless. So she took out all the meat, boiled water in another pot, and steamed enough buns for three people for a meal.
She cut the mutton into pieces and put it into the pot they usually used to cook soup on the small clay stove. She scooped some soup into it and carried it over to cook.
Thinking about eating mutton, she took out the chive sauce that she had never touched from her space, made some of it and put it aside, and then made some chili dipping sauce.
After preparing all these, she took the cut sheep heads to a table by the window and spread out the mutton to dry. In less than one night, the meat could be frozen.
Then collect them all and put them in an empty jar, then thaw and cook them when you want to eat them.
After that, she washed her hands, picked out the steamed buns from the pot, added a full pot of water to the pot, and used it to wash the internal organs later.
After placing all the seasonings and bowls and chopsticks on the table next to the clay stove, she went to the kitchen door and shouted outside: "Come back and eat first, I'll make the rest later."
"Got it, we'll be there soon," Fu Shinian's voice replied.
