Climbing the Great Wall and eating roast whole sheep seem to be a daily routine for many tourists here.
This day is the weekend, and the port area is located in dongjiakou Village, Cao Ying Town. Cars and buses filed into this narrow natural village in damao mountain. Crowds of tourists packed their bags, looking like non-heroes who couldn't reach the Great Wall, and walked up the steps one by one along the mountain road. They knew that when they sweated down the mountain, the whole lamb was already on the table, mouth watering and tender outside.
Sun Zhiwei, a villager, is very busy, because tourists have booked 9 tables of farmhouse meals, 5 roast whole sheep, 1 Tibetan fragrant pig and 1 rooster.
Sun Zhiwei bought a goat early in the morning as agreed, and took it home for cleaning after the owner slaughtered it, then put it on a box and put it on the oven with wire. The night before, his mobile phone kept ringing, so tourists had to book farmhouse meals and dinner at his "Waiting for Mountain Villa" hotel. There were nine tables in all. The couple thought they were too busy and lacked manpower, so they invited their cousins from nearby Shimenzhai to help.
Four ovens are on at the same time.
Dengjiang Villa Hotel in Sun Zhiwei has 65,438+00 elegant rooms, 8 rooms with kang, and a large dining room with 65,438+00 dining tables, which is spacious and bright. There were 10 ovens lined up in the yard, and Sun Zhiwei's face was flushed with smoke. Every once in a while, he will turn on the oven one by one and turn over the whole lamb being smoked.
Miao Yuchun, his wife and several chefs are preparing all kinds of farm food ingredients, and they have to go to the restaurant to prepare all kinds of tableware from time to time. Cousin Sun Xue came to the oven with a dozen beers. There is powdered seasoning in the basin on the table. She opened a bottle of beer and stirred it. "This is my secret seasoning. Only Big Brother knows the formula." Sun Xue explained.
After the whole sheep is dried, it should be coated with secret simmer on both sides.
Sun Zhiwei said that in the spring of 2002, the village engaged in the tourism development of the Great Wall, and his business-minded father came to the fore and set up a farmhouse in the old house, with good income. However, the old house is small in size and in disrepair. Father began to go to the town to run the land formalities. After the formalities, he built a house and expanded the business area. After that, tourists came in an endless stream, and the small days became more and more prosperous.
Sun Zhiwei said, "I only have a junior high school education, and I don't know how to do business. I only keep my word and don't fool people. There are more tourists and more repeat customers. Farmhouse has also brought considerable income to my family. In recent years, the average annual gross profit is 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and the net profit is 10 million yuan. "
Sun Zhiwei won the first prize in the second roast whole sheep contest in Hebei province in 20 17 and the gold medal in the roast whole sheep contest in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Chengde) Food Culture Festival in 20 18. His family has also been rated as a demonstration household of rural tourism in China and a tourism family of Baiyou China in Qinhuangdao City.
The greedy tourists couldn't wait to cut it.
"When dongjiakou was brilliant, it could roast 30,000 whole sheep a year, but these two or three years were only the cause of the epidemic. On average, it could only roast 1.8 million sheep a year." Sun Zhiwei said.
"If only every weekend could be like today!" He didn't hide his inner joy. "After the nine tables of farmhouse meals, I will go out for a mobile barbecue. Zushan, Beidaihe and Shanhaiguan, three cars pull stoves and ingredients and go to four different customers' homes respectively. They are all repeat customers, but they are kind and difficult to get along with. We are also glad to do business. We have the best of both worlds. Why not? "
