Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 2119 It's too shallow on paper, and I absolutely know that I have to do it!
Li Yuanchun immediately asked his question: "Village Chief Zhou, is there a skill in raising sheep? Logically speaking, as long as you have some experience and good forage, shouldn't the sheep you raise have very plump meat?"

Zhou Mantun smiled and shook his head and said, "That's what they say, but in fact there is still a difference."

"Most people raise sheep entirely by relying on the natural environment. For example, in Mongolia, they only need to take the sheep to graze everywhere, and the meat quality is generally much better."

"People from other provinces don't know and think that their sheep are all very good. In fact, they are not. In fact, there are differences among local people."

"Depending on the region, they give the sheep different names, and the meat quality is also graded."

"The sheep raised in some areas do taste better because of the pasture."

Zhou Mantun said rather arrogantly: "Compared with theirs, the natural environment in our mountainous areas is not as good as theirs. If you want to make the sheep taste similar to theirs, you need craftsmanship."

"It's not convenient for me to tell you what this craft is specifically. It is the secret of our Zhoujia Village and the guarantee of our life."

Chen Jianghai and others nodded to express their understanding.

Although they were quite curious about this, they could only hold back at this time.

No one will easily tell others about their cooking skills.

Everyone will stop talking about this topic. This is a rule passed down from our ancestors.

At this time, Zhou Mantun also happened to bring Chen Jianghai and others to his home.

He directly pulled a sheep out of his sheepfold and said, "Mr. Chen, do you think the sheep I raise are stronger than the sheep you see outside?"

Chen Jianghai looked at it carefully and then nodded and said, "Yes, this sheep does look stronger, and it also seems to have a bigger temper. It feels very aggressive and may hit us at any time."

From the beginning, Chen Jianghai discovered that the sheep in Zhoujia Village were very fierce.

This is especially true for the sheep from Zhou Mantun's house in front of me.

From the moment he came in, this guy kept shouting, looking straight at outsiders like them, and kept digging the ground with his front hooves, looking very irritable.

If Zhou Mantun hadn't held them down, he would have rushed over to hit them.

Moreover, this guy was extremely strong, and even Zhou Mantun seemed to be struggling.

Zhou Mantun obviously didn't expect that Chen Jianghai could observe him so carefully, and his favorable impression of Chen Jianghai improved a lot.

While pressing the sheep, he said: "Yes, the sheep in our Zhoujia Village are very bad-tempered. They don't even need to bring dogs with them when they herd the sheep. If they encounter wild animals like wolves, they will dare to fight on their own."

“It’s precisely because we’ve retained their wild nature that their meat quality is different.”

After Zhou Mantun finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Jianghai and the others to say anything, he ordered his son who was watching the excitement: "Quickly stop giggling there, kill this sheep quickly, and give it to Mr. Chen and the others to have a taste."

Chen Jianghai quickly waved his hand and said: "No need, we have tasted the mutton here at the mutton restaurant in town before, and it is indeed good."

Zhou Mantun had a look of disdain on his face, waved his hand and said, "It's the shop where Xiaojun works. His mutton is indeed pretty good, but compared to the sheep in our Zhoujiacun, it's still a lot worse. "

"I had originally planned to kill a sheep to eat for myself in the near future. Today, several distinguished guests came over, so I just wanted to use it to make the most of it as a landlord."

Zhou Mantun had said so, and Chen Jianghai and the others could not resist their hospitality, so they naturally stopped trying to stop him.

Moreover, they really want to taste the difference between the mutton here and the ones outside.Zhou Mantun has always praised the quality of the mutton in his village, but how good it is can only be judged after eating it.

It has to be said that when it comes to sheep, the people in Zhoujia Village are undoubtedly extremely professional.

The extremely aggressive sheep was nothing in front of Zhou Mantun's son, who didn't look strong. He didn't need anyone's help at all and slaughtered it directly in two or three strokes.

Bleeding, shaving, and cutting up the mutton are done in one go, which is quite a bit like a cook cutting a cow.

It only took more than half an hour, and with the help of the surrounding villagers, the mutton was ready.

Lamb is traditionally cooked over firewood, with a small amount of onions, ginger, garlic and salt added to it.

Other than that, there are no other messy condiments at all.

Zhou Mantun explained to Chen Jianghai, Li Yuanchun and the others: "Whether the mutton is good or not is best judged by boiling it directly in white water. Good food doesn't need those messy condiments at all."

Hearing this, Chen Jianghai smiled and couldn't help but said: "Yes, the best ingredients often only require the most common cooking methods to bring out their greatest deliciousness."

Zhou Mantun felt that Chen Jianghai's words summed it up so beautifully, so he nodded wildly: "Yes, yes, that's what it means, that's what it means."

Everyone chatted and waited. An hour later, the mutton came out of the pot.

Here, Zhou Mantun directly selected the best parts of the mutton, served it to Chen Jianghai and Li Yuanchun, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, try this mutton. It is definitely something you can't eat outside."

Chen Jianghai was not polite and started tearing up a piece of mutton and said to him with a smile: "Village Chief Zhou can't refuse his kindness, so I won't be polite."

After saying that, he dipped the mutton in his hand into some salt and started chewing it directly.

Sure enough, the first bite made Chen Jianghai's eyes light up.

The taste was completely different from what they had at the mutton restaurant for lunch.

The mutton in the mutton restaurant is also delicious, but it has more flavor with the mixed seasoning.

Although it was much more delicious than most of the mutton on the market, it was still a level lower than the mutton he was eating now.

The mutton boiled in water and salt can make it so delicious. You can imagine how high the quality of this mutton is.

Li Yuanchun also squinted his eyes after eating, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect mutton to be so delicious with such a simple preparation."

"What you see on paper is only shallow, but you have to put it into practice! Now I really understand why our mutton in Nanshan Township is so famous in the local area."

"It's just a pity that such good mutton has not been promoted, otherwise the quality of this mutton would be ranked first in the country."

Of course Chen Jianghai understood the implication of Li Yuanchun's words and responded with a smile: "I will be responsible for the promotion in the future. There is absolutely nothing to say about the quality of this mutton. More people should be able to taste this delicious food!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Mantun, and then asked: "How many sheep can Village Chief Zhou have for sale in the entire village?"

When Zhou Mantun heard that Chen Jianghai was talking about business, his expression immediately became serious. He frowned and thought for a while before replying:

"There are more than 300 households in Zhoujia Village, and each household can sell about five on average. Calculating this, it should be about [-]."
