In winter, a certain amount of forage is appropriately supplied, and clean drinking water and a certain amount of salt are ensured in normal times.

In recent years, it has already moved from Rongjiang to Kaili, Guiyang, Sichuan, Guangdong and other places.

The production process of Yangqi is very exquisite. It is mainly divided into processes such as slaughtering sheep to remove the smell, extracting sheep water, and preparing sheep.

1. Kill the sheep to remove the stink. Some people say that mutton tastes delicious but smells bad, so they are intimidated by the smell. Tap Shih's mutton is an exception. It is not only tender and has no smell, but also fragrant and refreshing. This is because the Tap Sik people deodorize the sheep during the slaughtering process. After killing the sheep, they use a knife to cut open the sheep's heels and toes to release the smell from the sheep's body. This is what the Tap Sik people call "sheep herding smell". ".

2. Extraction of deflated water. Before slaughtering the sheep, let the sheep graze in the mountains and fields to eat a large amount of fresh grass, leaves, etc., wait for the grass to be chewed repeatedly by the sheep for half an hour, and then slaughter it, so that the extracted water will be fresh. Cut open the sheep's belly and eat the essence of the herbs that have not yet become feces in the intestines and stomach. Take out the "essence" in the intestines and stomach, wrap it in gauze, soak it in 45-degree high-grade grain wine, filter and squeeze out the green juice. This is For "deflated water", put the "deflated water" into a high-temperature pot and boil it. At the same time, filter it repeatedly with a loofah to remove all the grass residue. After thirty minutes, filter it with gauze to remove the residue and store it aside for later use. Sheep eat a variety of grasses and have a mixed diet, from grass to leaves, from fields to cliffs. It can be said that the nutritional value of mutton is much higher than that of beef. There is a local saying: "Chickens eat hundreds of insects and the medicine is in their brains, and sheep eat hundreds of herbs." "In the sac." The sac at the end of the small intestine is the essence of the live sheep eating the herbs. Long-term consumption of Yangqi can be described as eating hundreds of herbs to get rid of all kinds of diseases and strengthen the body.

3. Cooking and making food for sheep. There are two types: fried noodles and soup noodles. The indispensable ingredient is "Fruit Oil Seed", which is roasted and crushed into powder and added to the cooked mutton. "Fruit Oil Seed" is a Chinese herbal medicine named "Evodia" and has a rich aroma. It tastes spicy and bitter. It has the functions of dispelling cold and relieving pain, reducing qi and stopping vomiting, aiding yang and stopping diarrhea, and resisting digestive system ulcers. It is a kind of gourmet medicine when added to the diet of mutton.

1. Stir-fried fried rice. Put the fresh mutton and haggis on the cutting board and cut into shreds. Generally there is more haggis than mutton. Put a small amount of vegetable oil into a high-temperature pot. When the oil smokes, put the cut mutton and haggis into the high-temperature pot and roast it. Scoop out dry. Wash the pot, put in an appropriate amount of vegetable oil and gradually heat it up until the oil smokes. Add an appropriate amount of dried chili peppers, shredded ginger, garlic slices and kale and stir-fry until golden brown. Then put the roasted mutton into the high-temperature pot and stir-fry for 2 seconds. Half-cooked for 2 minutes, add an appropriate amount of high-grade rice wine as cooking wine and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add condiments: sesame oil seeds, pepper, orange peel, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, etc., stir-fry until the flavor is infused, then add an appropriate amount of mutton water Stir-fry until fragrant, scoop out the pan, sprinkle parsley, garlic, herbs and other aromatic herbs on the prepared mutton, simmer it in the hot pot on an induction cooker and eat it, the taste will be bitter and cool but then sweet. If it is not bitter enough during the eating process, you can add Prepared water for seasoning.

2. Production of soup flat. First, prepare the hot pot soup. Mainly add the ground chili powder, garlic slices, ginger slices, orange peel, salt, MSG, etc. to the prepared steamed water. Boil the steamed soup in the pot and scoop it out. Put the shredded mutton into a large bowl and mix with oil seeds, pepper, parsley, garlic, salt and other aromatics, and eat it in an induction cooker hot pot. The special fragrance emitted by the sheep really whets your appetite and makes you salivate. Slightly bitter in the mouth, Yangqi is not only refreshing and refreshing, but can also cure diarrhea, abdominal pain, dispel heat and aid digestion.
