Chapter 17 Lamb Kebabs Big Sale

"Dong...Dong...Dong...Dong...!"

In the evening, drums sounded around the West Market. The drum sounded like a curfew. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang listened to the advice of Minister Ma Zhou and set up street drums on the six streets leading to the outer land. The gate of the five-hour door opened with the drum sound every day, and closed with the drum sound after sunset. When the drum sounds were extreme, no idle people were allowed to walk on the street.

In order to implement the curfew system, when the sun sets, there will be street envoys leading cavalry patrols and military officers to visit secretly. If you find that you have nothing to do and dare to wander around the street, you will be arrested and convicted. Of course, if you have to go out at night, you have to take the "literary disc" of the government or the house to allow you to go to the street at night.

But this is only for outside the market, and the market system is indeed convenient for government management, but it cannot withstand the desire of the people to eat, drink and have fun in life. The collapse of the market system first arises in the market.

In that era, there was no TV or Internet. If there was no entertainment in Tianheifangmen, it would really make people suffocate to death. Since I was not allowed to go to the streets, I could play in the shop.

So at night, many wealthy yards are brightly lit, such as Pingkang yard on the west side of the east city, which is the most famous brothel in Chang'an City. It is comparable to the "Eight Great Hutongs" in later generations. When the yard gate is closed at night, it will be even more unscrupulous. Of course, these nightlife in the yard have not completely broken the market system. After all, no matter how happy the yard is, you will never dare to go out to the streets at night.

In order to maintain public security in the yard, each yard has a Wuhou arrested him, with the largest number of thirty or forty people and the small number of twelve people, responsible for maintaining public security in the yard. In addition, each yard has one yard master. This person "holds the yard gate and supervises the traitors" and is the supreme leader in the yard.

"Teacher... do we want to have a drink...!"

Li You and Xiao Baoer were hanging lanterns outside their own shop. At this time, Xiao Baoer asked Li You if you need to shout, that is, to attract customers.

Li You, who had hung the lanterns, smiled and said, "No need...When your sister has prepared the stove, teacher, I will roast some for you to eat. I want to wait until you eat, there will be people standing in front of our store.

The price is five cents a bunch, and no one is cheap. There are all merchants here, and they are rich...!"

"Oh..." Xiao Baoer smiled happily.

"Oh...is it true...!" Xiao Yan touched Li You who was on the side.

"Not bad... not bad..." Li You looked at the stove of the grilled lamb kebab made by Xiao Yan. It was really good. The charcoal in the stove was already red. Li You immediately shouted: "Okay... take out the lamb kebab and I'll cook a little bit. You have been busy for the afternoon. First, eat some of my grilled lamb kebabs. If someone comes later, you can save some energy to get busy."

"Hao Le... the mutton skewers are here..." Chunniang happily came out with a tray, and there were twenty mutton skewers on the tray.

The mutton is very big, and Li You is very easy to grill. This mutton kebab is very particular. First, the ingredients are good. Li You's mutton is definitely the best and the freshest. Second, the seasoning is good, five-spice powder and cumin, which will definitely smell your nose.

The third skewers are good. The meat is cut to the same size. The interval should be even when worn. As for whether you are three thin and one fat or three mountains and two basins, you will find that you like it. If you have to be completely thin, no one will not let you eat it, but it is recommended that you have a little fat. If the prepared fat meat is rich after the skewers, a few skewers of pure fat may open up a new world.

The fourth is the fire must be stable. The charcoal must be cooked first by barbecue. If the charcoal is not cooked well, the meat will not be cooked well. If you are Chinese-style American grills or if you are interested in digging a naan pit, it doesn’t matter, but the charcoal fire must be controlled well. Don’t keep it high, low, cold and hot. The palm fan raised the ash and was in a hurry. Only when the fire is stable will your hands be stable, your heart will be stable, and today’s string will be stable.

Finally, eat while it is hot, don’t wait and let it go, roast and pickle it while roasting. If you can’t eat it for a while, you should heat it up on the fire. Don’t just scruple the meat when you are delayed. Why are you here? Don’t let the mutton oil cool down.

You know, when Li You had not traveled through time, he was a little expert in roasting lamb, a handful of cumin, a handful of five-spice powder, and a little salt.

This small smell came up when scratched. A bunch of mutton was dripping with shaky lamb oil. The golden whole body was transparent. The red and white lamb was roasted and shiny. It flashed in the candlelight. The crumbling lamb oil covered this layer of mutton, which made people's appetites rise, and they salivate. If you look at it, you will be happy and you will be able to fly.

"My God...it's so delicious...!"

Xiao Baoer sat next to Li You, and the smell of the mutton skewers floated. To be honest, the first time Xiao Baoer couldn't control the saliva in her mouth.

"You are so awesome!" Xiao Yan also looked at Li You's operation and exclaimed: "I thought you were talking about it, but who knew that the roasting was too fragrant...!

You Qi..." Xiao Yan originally wanted to talk about the King of Qi, but Xiao Yan said, glanced at his mother and brother, and then swallowed the words behind him: "The strange person is really amazing."

"What a strange person... Mr. Li is the noble man in our family. Oh... the smell is so fragrant. Look quickly, someone is starting to walk towards our house."

Chunniang was so happy that she was about to jump up.

Sure enough, Li You and others looked up and saw that as the fragrance drifted away, many people who smelled the fragrance came over one by one.

"Shopkeeper...what meat is you roasting...how can it smell so good?"

Soon the first person asked about the kebab.

Li You didn't even speak, and Chunniang, who was standing there, quickly introduced: "This is a kebab. What's the matter with young master? Should I have a skewer... Five-money skewer, we have steamed buns here, each one is a penny, and it's very delicious to eat together."

"Is that right... Then let me have ten strings of steamed buns first... forget it, I just finished my meal."

"It's so bad..." Chunniang laughed.

Of course, this five cents are only bought in the West Market, because it is all business people, and it doesn’t seem expensive for five cents. If you go to other places, a five cents cost per bunch will definitely be criticized and think it is very expensive.

"Ten skewers of mutton, come again if you don't have any delicious food. If you don't have any delicious food, you won't charge any money...!"

Li You confidently gave the first young master to eat crabs ten mutton skewers, and also said that he would not accept any skewers. This is Li You's confidence. He believed that the mutton skewers he roasted would definitely conquer the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Because you should know that in modern times, mutton skewers have conquered almost all Chinese people.

Sure enough, there was no difference between Li You's confidence. At first, the young master who was the first to eat crabs didn't believe it, but after a skewer of mutton was eaten into his mouth, his eyes lit up.

The roasted lamb skewers are yellow-brown and are covered with a thick layer of spices. When you bite them, the taste is slightly spicy and fresh, not greasy or scented, and the meat is tender and delicious.

More importantly, if you take a bite and taste it carefully, you will feel that the mutton is very delicate and very tender.

"It's delicious... delicious... Ouch, the store owner, your mutton kebab is also very good... This should be the best mutton kebab I have, come... Come... I'll give me twenty more skewers, I'll take them back for my wife to taste them."

"It's so bad..." Li You smiled.
