The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low. The grassland is vast, with luxuriant grass and herds of cattle and sheep. In this picturesque scenery, the food on the grassland is also outstanding.
The nomads use the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed. Eating is also quite simple. They can make delicious food without a pot or stove. There is a very primitive delicacy in the grassland, stone-roasted mutton. The herdsmen get carried away with the meat after a sip of wine.
Xiaojun experienced stone-roasted mutton while on vacation in the grassland. Generally, herders do not eat their own cattle and sheep, but go hunting. At dusk, the setting sun gently shines on the green grassland, and the returning herds of cattle and sheep come from the distant grassland. Under the afterglow, Xiaojun and the others also returned from hunting. They were lucky enough to catch a big yellow sheep. The herdsman told Xiaoquan that he would let you try the stone-roasted yellow mutton today. Xiaojun, who loves food, was very happy. He had long heard that the stone-roasted mutton in the grassland was a delicacy, and he was in for a treat today.
The herdsmen dragged the big yellow sheep to a stream and disemboweled it. While skinning the yellow sheep, the herdsmen asked Xiaojun to pick up a pile of dried cow dung and a pile of eggs by the stream. size pebbles. Then a layer of cow dung and a layer of stones were arranged to form a large dry cow dung pile, and a fire was lit under the cow dung pile. The herdsmen peeled off the yellow sheep's skin, opened the stomach, dumped the grass inside, washed it, and turned it inside out to make dough. At this time, a raging fire broke out in the cow dung pile. The goose eggs in the fire were also burning red. The herdsmen used wooden sticks to hold cobblestones and placed a layer on the stomach. Then they placed the chopped mutton on the cobblestones, sprinkled some salt, dug out a handful of wild onion roots in the soil by the stream, and washed them. Throw it in cleanly and repeat this sequence until the yellow sheep's stomach is full. After tying the mouth, the bag was thrown into the fire and buried with live coals. Light the fire again, and everyone will brag together.
This is the first time Xiaojun has seen this primitive delicacy, and he seems particularly excited. When the sheep's stomach was burned dry and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat, the herdsman uncle took out the knife and picked out the sheep's stomach. A strange fragrance immediately filled the air. When the sheep's stomach was cut open, the smell became even stronger. The uncle took out the dark yellow mutton from the sheep's stomach and gave it to Xiaojun. Although it didn't look good, Xiaojun took it and couldn't wait to take a bite. There was a faint aroma of grass mixed with the smell of fireworks, which gave it a unique flavor. Xiaojun also imitated the herdsmen and enjoyed eating the meat with a sip of wine.
