Today is the winter solstice, my mother took me to Xiaoguanmiao that piece of "mutton soup concentration" to eat mutton soup (I do not know why the winter solstice to eat mutton soup, anyway, there is a delicious door to eat it).
There are five or six large mutton stores on both streets. We chose a "Yipin fresh mutton soup pot", a catty of mutton 50 yuan! It's a real "knockout". (I can't help it, it's the "peak season" for lamb, and prices have gone up horribly in every store.) The clerk at the store was so busy that all the seats were reserved, but luckily we came early and got a seat, and then there was a long queue of people wanting to eat, and they didn't have a seat. We were sitting comfortably eating lamb too!
As we ate and watched a steady stream of customers come in, the owner simply yelled from the store, "You must finish it by six o'clock! Or it's not for sale!" He was trying to get the next batch of customers to come in and eat again as soon as possible - business is so good!
The lamb tasted really good. Outside the store there was an iron rack with a big, slaughtered goat hanging from it, and they were constantly being sliced up into big piles of meat to be cooked and put into our goat soup. (Poor goats.) Add some seasoning to the bowl of soup and dip it into the steaming hot mutton....... Delicious
At night, the place turned into a hot "Mutton City," with everyone excitedly eating mutton and some people taking pots to pack for takeout. Some people even take a pot and pack it to take away. Anyway, I had my first real winter solstice (with lamb soup)!
Episode 2: Mutton Soup
People say: "Good medicine is good for illness", but now, because of the prevalence of mutton soup, this phrase is about to be changed to "Mutton in the belly is good for illness". The mouth-watering mutton soup, a thousand looks, a thousand cravings, a thousand eat never tire of.
Mutton soup color and flavor, the white mutton soup let a person immediately associated with the rolling cream, mutton, a trace of a trace, curled art. The red blood of the lamb and the green onions give the dish its unique color, and no one who has drunk the lamb soup will forget its taste and aroma.
Mutton soup is very simple. First, cut the mutton into shreds, parsley into segments, mutton blood into cubes, this is the preparation work. Then boil the soup, pour the water into the pot, and when the water boils, put in the mutton and mutton blood and cook through. Finally, sprinkle small onions or garlic leaves when you take out the pot, so that the great work is done.
Eating mutton, my stomach has long held its strength, my throat has long been open wide mouth, with a hunting greedy eyes watching. Then, holding the chopsticks, with extraordinary speed to clamp the mutton into the mouth, even if it broke the belly, irrigation leakage of the mouth, but also never stop the attack on the mutton soup.
Mutton, my favorite, mutton soup, a part of my life, it is too cruel, so that I have never been able to forget it.
