After Zhao Jinmai added clear water to two-thirds of the soup bucket, Li Yi put the lamb chops and sheep bones in, and the soup bucket was full.

Li Yi turned on the stove fire, burned it on medium heat, turned around and came to the chopping board, and began to deal with the sheep tail oil.

"Brother Yi, it's washed."

Liu Yifei washed the iron sign and sent it to Li Yi.

"Put it here, you'll be able to wear meat in a while."

Li Yi said, cutting the entire sheep tail oil into two halves from the middle.

"What a big piece of fat!"

Liu Yifei was shocked.

Li Yi heard this and smiled: "For the locals in the Western Regions, lamb tail oil is the essence of lamb kebabs. If there is no fat in the barbecue, it means there is no soul."

"But this is too fat, right? How to eat it? Wouldn't it be very stinky?"

Liu Yifei looked at the fat fat and felt a little scared.

"You will know if you taste it later."

Li Yi did not explain, but just ordered: "By the way, when you just took the iron sign, did you see a bundle of red willow branches next to you?"

"Those branches are they?"

Liu Yifei nodded and turned around and brought it to Li Yi.

Li Yi pulled out a red willow branch and gently clenched the lower skin with his fingernails.

His soft skin was cut off by his nails. Seeing this, he nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing the branches that Liu Yifei brought over, Zhao Jinmai asked: "Brother Yi, is this the red willow barbecue from the Western Regions?"

"You've eaten?"

Li Yi looked at her with a smile.

"I have eaten twice. There is also a Western Region barbecue in my hometown. There is this kind of red willow barbecue, one skewer and three skewers."

Zhao Jinmai hesitated for a while before saying, "But when I ate, I didn't seem to taste the red willow."

Hearing Zhao Jinmai's words, many viewers in the live broadcast room immediately jumped out and complained.

"Really! I have also eaten this kind of red willow skewers. It is said that it has the aroma of red willow, but it is not at all, and it is very expensive!"

"This is the IQ tax, a scam. There is this kind of red willow barbecue at the Western Regions barbecue stall near my house. The red willows used are so black that they are reluctant to exchange them. They are all old actors."

"Just eat Western Regions barbecue and eat ordinary barbecue. Not many locals eat Hongliu barbecue, which is not cost-effective at all."

"Just think about it, you will know that the Western Regions are all deserts, so how can there be so many red willows?"

Li Yi saw the audience's complaints and smiled and explained: "In fact, the real red willow does have a special fragrance, but the premise is that fresh red willows are enough.

For example, when I was a child, I would break some willow branches, then peel off the skin, and make it into a willow flute and play it.

After peeling off the willow branches, there will be a bitter taste on the wood and the skin. If you have played with it, you will definitely know what it tastes."

“I’ve played it.”

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "I could do it myself when I was a child, but I didn't even make it sound like anyone else, and I was so angry that I cried."

Wu Lei smiled and interrupted: "It's a great idea to do this. I'll help you make one after another, it's absolutely fun!"

As he said that, he suddenly saw the red willow branches in Li Yi's hand and asked curiously: "Brother Yi, can this red willow skin be a willow flute?"

"In theory, you can try it."

As Li Yi said, he cut a circle at the root of the red willow branches in his hand with a knife, and then cut it upwards.

Then he peeled off the skin from the red willow branches.

The red willow branches inside were very fresh and the tentacles were moist. Li Yi lowered his head and sniffed it, then handed it to Zhao Jinmai, signaling: "You smell it, this is the smell of red willow."

Zhao Jinmai took the red willow branches, lowered his head and sniffed it, a little surprised: "Hey? There is really a fragrance! I can't tell it, it smells pretty good."

As she said that, she smelled it a few more times before saying, "The red willow skewers I ate don't have this kind of smell."

"Of course, this is the fresh red willow branches."

Li Yi smiled and said, "When the red willow is fresh, a special scent of juice will be secreted under the bark, but when the juice is dry, the scent will disappear.

This kind of juice is a good thing, which can relieve heat and rash, remove wind and dampness, and local elderly people will use red willow branches to boil water to give children with measles to drink it, so that the rash will spread.

In the desert, sheep and camels like to eat red willow branches. In the past, shepherds would break a few red willow branches on the red willow, peel off the skin, and use them as a stick to grill them in mutton.

This is the most traditional method of barbecue in the Western Regions. Add mutton to red willow branches and dip it in some salt water. This has been eaten in the Western Regions for thousands of years.

The iron marks later became more modern. There were not so many iron marks in the Western Regions before."

"No wonder."

After hearing Li Yi's explanation, Zhao Jinmai realized: "The red willow skewers I ate were all dried and they didn't even peel the skin, so of course it didn't taste!"

When the live broadcast room audience heard this, they suddenly realized.

"No wonder! I said those red willows are dry, but they can't smell after sucking for a long time. It turns out that they are all dry."

"I said! How many barbecue restaurants can afford it with fresh red willow branches picked from the Western Regions?"

"It is recommended that the mainland barbecue restaurants cancel the Hongliu skewers! It doesn't make sense. Grilled meat, meat is the most important thing, and the others are all fancy."

Looking at the barrage of the audience, Li Yi smiled and said, "You can't say that, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to go to the Western Regions to eat authentic Hongliu barbecue.

It is also quite good to have a little exotic atmosphere at your doorstep.

However, if you want to eat this most authentic red willow barbecue, it is best to go to the Western Regions and roast it with fresh red willow branches on the Gobi Desert, so that it is more authentic."

“There is another way.”

Wu Lei chuckled and interrupted: "That's to ask Brother Yi to do it for us!"

"You are such a clever little ghost."

Li Yi joked and handed the red willow branches to Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, and ordered: "You peel out all these red willow branches and we can barbecue."

As he said that, he taught them the method of skinning.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai learned very quickly, and after peeling a few sticks, they became proficient in getting started.

Seeing this, Li Yi turned around and cut out all the remaining sheep tail oil.

He cut half of the sheep's tail oil into small dice-sized particles, and half into thin slices the size of mahjong.

These thin slices of sheep tail oil are used to make oil-encapsulate liver.

The master who slaughtered the sheep was obviously more experienced. When he was frozen, he put the sheep heart, sheep liver and waist in the sheep's belly.

During the air transport process, the temperature in the sheep's belly did not drop below zero, the sheep's heart, sheep's liver and waist were not frozen, and the freshness was maintained well.

However, the fresher the internal organs, the better the taste. Although they are transported cold and fresh, the taste will still be a little worse after being stored for a few hours.

Especially lamb liver, after being left for a long time, the fresh sweetness will dissipate a lot, so it must be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise it will be wasted.
