Especially the self-motivated subordinates in the unit, take holidays to visit the leaders, and take care of them and send a sheep in business. The value is not high or low, and there is no psychological pressure to receive gifts. The key is that the gift is intuitive and imposing. A strong man carries a whole sheep into the door, and then pretends that diligent and honest leaders are embarrassed to let others carry them. However, people who deliver cigarettes and alcohol usually have to make several excuses and waste some breath.
Therefore, Gansu people not only love to eat mutton, but also give sheep special significance. Some outsiders don't understand? How does a big sheep eat? In fact, in Gansu, it is not unusual for several good young people to eat a sheep at a meal. Ordinary people divide the whole sheep, rinse the meat or chop it into jiaozi. Chop the rest with bones, or stew, or stew, or treat, and eat it in a few meals.
The practice of mutton in Gansu is similar to that in other places. The key is that the local sheep in Gansu are delicious. Every year when lambs are four or five months old, the meat is tender and tasteless. Blanch with clear water first, remove the blood, add onion, ginger, aniseed, fennel and other seasonings, stir fry briefly, and then add potatoes and water for slow stew. After stewing for about half an hour, the potatoes were rotten and the mutton was cooked well. The waxy juice of potatoes is hung on mutton, and the soup is semi-thin and not thick, which blends well with vegetable meat, and then dipped in oatmeal, which is a perfect match.
Stewed mutton with potatoes is the most common practice of local people. It is also the favorite of sheep. The mutton is delicious and the potatoes are delicious. People who eat for the first time may be sensitive to a little smell, but just like the famous saying of gourmet Cai Lan, "Mutton doesn't stink, women don't coquettish, and food is tasteless." But it will be addictive after a long time.
Gansu people have a religious plot about mutton, especially the indigenous Hui people in Gansu. Waste is a sin. Mutton should be drunk with wine, and the more you eat, the more spicy it becomes. If someone sings flowers in Hezhou, Gansu, as long as the song is spent, the wine will ring and the meat will be fragrant. People in Gansu are used to this scene, and guests may remember it for a lifetime.
Gansu is a big province of mutton cooking, and sheep is also one of the main livestock in Gansu. There are also many areas suitable for raising sheep in Gansu, and the most suitable one is Qinqin, the hometown of sheep raising for thousands of years in Hexi Corridor.
Minqin, the hometown of mutton sheep in the lower reaches of Shiyang River in the northeast of Gansu Hexi Corridor, is a long and narrow oasis sandwiched between Badain Jaran Desert, the third largest desert in China, and Tengger Desert, the fourth largest desert in China, as if it were a green gem embedded in the main road of the ancient Silk Road. Minqin has a long history of raising sheep. "Maki Ka is rich in aquatic plants and can fish" is a true portrayal of the development of sheep industry in Minqin, and the legend of sheep industry in Su Wu is a historical witness of the development of sheep industry in Minqin. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Xiongnu dominated Hexi. At that time, Minqin sheep was a "tribute" given by Huns to the emperor of the Central Plains, and it was also the main source of their food. According to experts' research, Minqin County is the place where Hanzhong Langjiang brushed Su Wu. Suwu Mountain in the county is the only geographical name named after Su Wu in China, and the story of Suwu sheep herding is a household name in Minqin.
Minqin Zhongtian vanilla sheep has suitable fat content, uniform marble distribution, good water retention, ideal appearance and excellent storage stability. Cholesterol is much lower than other meats, and its nutritional value is extremely high. After slaughter, Minqin mutton has the same color, which is red and the fat is milky white. Muscle fiber texture is clear and tough. The meat surface is slightly dry or has an air-dried film, which does not stick to hands. After boiling, depression recovered immediately. Slaughtering sheep and cook the meat are essential for major festivals and sacrifices. If you meet guests, friends and relatives, cooking sheep and mixing wine will be among them.
