Lin Chou only kept two yaks, and nothing else. All specially cultivated ingredients have a "shelf life".
He was worried that if he bought a lot of yaks and raised them in the back mountains to eat ordinary food for a period of time, their meat would become equally ordinary.
As the old man said, the food that the yaks eat is carefully selected by him, including not only alfalfa and sedge, but also precious herbs such as cordyceps, fritillary and rhodiola.
If Lin Chou was asked to raise them, he would not be able to provide such food to the yaks.
Well, the main reason is that I can’t bear to part with it.
After the old man sat down, a group of people quickly started chatting enthusiastically with the old man, while Lin Chou went to the back mountain to deal with the yaks.
He wanted to slaughter two yaks and break them down, put part of them in a thermostatic cabinet, and put part of them in an underground cold storage for aging and preservation.
Huang Dashan sat by the well and watched curiously.
"Is this furry thing also a cow?"
"Hey, I don't know why, but when I look at this fur, the shadow of the Wandering Demon keeps popping up in my head, hahahaha."
Lin Chou tied the yak to the fence and ignored Shan Ye's bad taste.
"Yaks are endemic to high-altitude areas. There are almost no yaks near Mingguang...at least they have never been seen before."
Huang Dashan’s mouth is full of mouth,
"Didn't that big long worm spit out two ends? It screamed like a wild boar, it was annoying to death."
The yak that was still alive died soon afterwards. Due to the corrosion of the gastric juice of the golden thread dragon, the meat was no longer edible.
Lin Chou shrugged. He didn't know what was going on, why they all gathered together as soon as they appeared.
Lin Chou covered the cow's eyes with black cloth strips and prepared to kill the cow.
In addition to "pointing on acupoints" (PS: see Chapter 22 for killing cattle by tapping on acupoints), there are naturally other ways to kill cattle.
In some areas of Mongolia, only two specific methods of killing cattle are allowed. After the cattle were spread abroad, people became accustomed to calling the two Mongolian killing methods "spirit-breaking" and "heart-stabbing".
Here we only talk about broken spirits:
It means blindfolding the cow's eyes, piercing the cow's eyes with a knife, or directly smashing the heavenly spirit with a sledgehammer.
Niutianling is the gap between the ethmoid bone and the sphenoid bone. It is the strongest and most fragile. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "cover door".
As for why the very fairy-like person calls it Broken Spirit, there is also a legend in it.
At the beginning of chaos, Pangu opened the sky and Nuwa created human beings. Human beings had no need to rely on and only built their homes with the help of eleven kinds of creatures.
Brahma has a master, the Jade Emperor is the emperor, and when merits are judged and rewarded, people use eleven animals as the boundaries of the annual rings to remember their merits forever.
If you record merit, then the amount of merit is divided, and the animals can't argue.
However, the emperor decided who was the boss with the four words "more oxen means more work".
But just when the gods were delivering the order and the cow was holding the list in its mouth, something unexpected happened - it was not the old cow who received the order, but a gray mouse.
Among the eleven kinds of animals, there was originally no rat. This thieving little thing was so bold. Since he dared to steal Big Ear's sesame oil, he also dared to steal the Jade Emperor's imperial seal.
It took advantage of the cow's unpreparedness and stood on the cow's head, because it knew that the cow was large and wide and had no fingers, so it could only receive the bullet by mouth. When the time came, it stood on the cow's head and could reach the bullet earlier than the cow. one.
And cows are honest and thick-skinned, so they definitely can't feel anything.
So, in full view of the public, the rat actually took the place of the ox and became the number one animal in the Chinese zodiac.
Of the six animals in the world, cattle are the most yin.
Niu, who is a psychic, knows that the time has come and will even shed tears like a human being.
Because the heavenly spirit was stood by the rat, people believed that this part of the cow's body was the yin within the yin, which was extremely ominous.
Therefore, when the cow is killed, the heavenly spirit is broken and the blood of the heavenly spirit is released, which is called broken spirit.
...
Lin Chou blindfolded the cow and gently stroked the cow's head with his hand, making it feel as if it was being comforted while eating grass and relaxed.
The knife and the midline of the cow's head are perpendicular to each other, pointing directly at the bone seam. The knife penetrates and cuts horizontally, destroying the cow's brain tissue and quickly ending the cow's life.
Since this part lacks muscle tissue and pain-sensing cells, and Lin Chou's technique is crisp and clean, I believe that the cow will not feel any pain at all and will walk very peacefully.
A minute later, Lin Chou took off the yak's blindfold and threw it away. The yak's wide eyes were wide open and it had lost its vitality. A stream of black and red blood flowed from its heavenly body.
The ancients believed that there are two cruelest things in the world, one is killing people, and the other is killing cows.
Lin Chou stood silently for a while and began to break down the ox.
Killing cattle in this way does not require bleeding, so the meat is more tender and moist.
Yak itself has a stronger flavor than ordinary beef, but has a bit more toughness, so it is more suitable for this method.
The old man was an honest man. There was almost no food in the cow's stomach, and a lot of meat was produced. After removing the bones and internal organs, at least three thousand kilograms of pure meat could be produced.
Lin Chou moved swiftly and neatly, and it took less than an hour to finish processing the two cows and two goats.
One cow was completely cut up and sent to the thermostatic cabinet. The other cow was not dismembered. It was split in half and put into the underground cold storage for hanging.
Master Shan said with great interest,
"Hey, Brother Lin, if you kill the cow today, will you get some good food again?"
"..."
Do you know that this thing is always expensive? I think about poaching this handsome man all day long.
After thinking about it, an excellent idea popped into Lin Chou's mind.
"Yes, of course there are good dishes to go with the wine, but you have to wait a little longer."
Master Shan didn't realize anything was wrong.
"Don't be afraid of being late for good food, hahaha, wait, we can afford to wait!"
Lin Chou shrugged, holding eight cow hooves in his hand, turned on the stove and put them up.
The red flames quickly scorch the hair on the surface of the cow's hooves and shrink the cowhide, locking in the meat flavor.
Remove the cow's hooves and put them aside. These cow's hooves need to be hung with ropes over the stove fire and smoked non-stop for more than ten days and nights until they are completely dry before use.
Lin Chou thought of a trick, it was better to leave this kind of hard work to the damn system.
The system has always had no problem with this kind of kitchen utensils, and a square iron box immediately appeared on the island.
"Using a hot air box for one minute can take a day of drying and roasting outside."
Lin Chou curled his lips, how unkind this was, it was obviously a plagiarism of Jiu Shan Palace Lao Xue's invention, and he didn't even bother to change the name.
It should be glad that there is no such thing as patent rights in the end of the world, otherwise if a commission occurs, the damn system will pay out all the bones and dregs.
After being smoked in a hot air box for fifteen minutes, take out the cow's hoof. The hoof has completely lost water and has shrunk by nearly one-third, and the skin is tightly dried on the bones.
Wet the cow's hooves with rice water, scrape off the black ash on the surface with a knife, revealing the smoky yellow leather, which actually looks like an amber-like texture.
Lin Chou couldn't help but sigh, indeed the products produced by the system would not contain any moisture. Even if he took careful care of himself, it would be difficult to produce a finished product with such an effect.
