Chapter 977 The school sweetheart’s first love who took a check and went abroad (16)
This was really an accident. She didn't even know there were food festivals in other towns.
Why did you bring something back? Why don't you hide it?
However, with food festivals in other towns as cover, she went out more openly.
But that day, she was stopped by Willie. He excitedly pushed a newly purchased motorcycle over and said he wanted to go to the food festival with her.
Xu Yin: "..."
Brother, I don’t know where the food festival door opens.
Why don't you go on your own, I have other things to do.
"Ahem, I'm not going to the food festival today, I'm going to buy something."
"I'll go with Master." Willie sat on the motorcycle and tossed his helmet coolly, "I just happened to be teaching me drifting on the way."
Xu Yin glanced at him: "But what I want to buy are girls-only products. It's not appropriate for you to follow me. Drift will teach you when I have a rest."
After saying that, she got on the car and drove away, so fast that Willie couldn't even catch up.
He scratched his head in confusion, saw Mrs. Hunter, and asked: "Mrs. Hunter, what exactly are girls' products?"
Mrs. Hunter: “…”
After a few casual words, the silly boy was sent away.
When Xu Yin stopped running out every day at noon, Cooktown also ushered in its own food fair and winter and spring agricultural supplies exchange meeting.
Xu Yin has been looking forward to this day for a long time. She has to buy a lot of things.
Nowadays, she is also a medium-sized manor owner, with farms, pastures, and lakes under her control. Of course, she needs to have some things on hand.
You have to buy the grass seeds sown in early spring and the crop seeds planted on the farm.
She also plans to plant some fruit trees on the shores of Lake Ghana, and she also needs to look for native fruit saplings.
There are also honey, ham, and white wine that she has long wanted to stock up on...
After Lin Lin made some calculations, he found that the money left on hand didn't seem to be enough.
We can only wait until next spring to stock up on fruit saplings. Let’s look at grass seeds and oat seeds first.
At this year's gourmet party, Mrs. Hunter asked Xu Yin to cook some of her specialty delicacies. Who taught her how to innovate? With any ingredients, what Sean cooks will always make everyone's eyes brighten.
The cook still makes the three things she is good at: goat's milk pancakes, goat's milk cakes, and salty oatmeal pancakes.
It was Xu Yin's first time to participate. She was unsure of the townspeople's preferences, so she simply followed the local customs and made a batch of goat milk-based meals - goat's milk pudding, goat's milk cake, and almond milk tea.
I was worried that everyone would be too tired after eating so much dairy products, so I prepared a bucket of dandelion tea.
Just as he was getting ready to set off, old William brought over some prepared tender lambs and invited Xu Yin to roast them at the gourmet party.
"Everyone said that your roasted lamb is delicious. I recommend you as the chef of this year's gourmet festival. I will leave it to you to roast the whole lamb."
Mrs. Hunter winked at Xu Yin: "You must live up to your expectations!"
Xu Yin: "..."
Only when we arrived at the scene did we know why we wanted her to succeed.
It turns out that each town’s food festival has a scoring section. Each town sends ten patrol officers to conduct on-site interviews, observe people’s feedback on the town’s food, and rate the food. The town with the highest score in the end wins this year’s “
The honorary title of "Delicious Town".
"Didn't you see those patrol officers when you went to other towns? Didn't you get interviewed by them?"
Well……
Can she say she didn't go to other towns for food festivals at all?
Quickly start another topic: "Then I'm only responsible for roasting the whole lamb? I don't need to take care of the rest, right?"
"Yes, you can just be responsible for the baking. The mayor's wife is there for the rest."
Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
She only needs to roast the whole lamb, so she has no pressure at all.
Quietly prepare the barbecue ingredients in the system warehouse.
As soon as she arrived at the scene, she marinated the mutton. While marinating, she fired up the oven.
In order to adjust the optimal heat, I first grilled a row of mutton skewers before serving the whole lamb.
It’s also the lamb belly provided by Old William.
Xu Yin quickly whittled a wooden skewer, cut the fat and lean pieces of lamb belly into small pieces and strung them together, ten pieces in a skewer and a handful of ten skewers, and grilled them.
I don’t think it’s very fragrant during the roasting process. After all, the locals are as familiar with roasted lamb as the people in southern China are with rice.
Until Xu Yin sprinkled the spices, the rich and overbearing fragrance was carried to everyone's nose with the autumn wind, and everyone couldn't help but sniff the air.
"What is it? It smells so good!"
"It smells like roasted lamb, but is lamb so fragrant?"
"Which stall is it at? I want to try it!"
Following the scent, everyone found the roast mutton stall that Xu Yin was in charge of.
Just in time, the mutton skewers in her hand were grilled, and she distributed one skewer to everyone, and then started serving the whole lamb.
The whole lamb started to be roasted over the charcoal fire, and many people gradually gathered in front of the stall, including residents of Cook Town and people from other towns who were waiting to taste it.
Cooktown residents certainly know Xu Yin.
"This is Sean, the shearing champion of this year's Canterbury Regional Competition. She comes from our town! She broke the previous record by shearing by hand. Isn't it amazing?"
Other townspeople: "..."
So sour!
Why did I suddenly become a lemon?
People in Cooktown are still proud to learn about Xu Yin's abilities: "Her roasted lamb is really delicious! I was lucky enough to taste a piece of lamb leg meat on the day of the celebration banquet. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and there was no fishy smell at all."
"
So this time, they didn't plan to go anywhere. A quick look at the other stalls revealed that they were all the same food they had tried over the years. There was nothing new. They might as well just stay here and wait for the roasted whole lamb to come out of the oven.
What? It takes a long time?
It doesn’t matter! No wages will be deducted for the delayed work at the food festival, they have a lot of time!
Xu Yin: "..."
I'm afraid you'll be bored.
Forget it, she took advantage of the opportunity and grilled a few more skewered mutton skewers, sprinkled them with spices and distributed them to everyone. While eating and waiting, it wouldn't be too boring.
Now, more people gathered around her stall.
Xu Yin: "..."
I tiptoed and glanced at the other stalls, wow! The stall owners all came out to eat the mutton skewers. When the roasted lamb was ready, the pressure was all on my sister's side.
Look again, Willie, Oliva, Lucas, Little William, the cook... there are so many familiar faces in the crowd.
"..."
Forget about others, isn’t the cook also setting up a stall? She’s so generous in abandoning her stall to support her own business.
Xu Yin was distracted and couldn't help but ask: "Rita, why are you here too? Don't you need to look at the stall?"
The cook who was crowded among the crowd laughed heartily and said: "Haha! What I am good at are those few dim sum dishes. Over the years, everyone has become familiar with them. They are all the same whether you look at them or not. People who buy them will throw the food coupons into the box if they know the price.
inner."
"..."
"Sean, do you really don't need food coupons for the mutton skewers in your hand?" Oliva asked.
Xu Yin nodded: "That's all in total, so I won't accept it. If you think it's delicious, remember to buy the roasted whole lamb later."
"I would have come even if you didn't tell me."
"I have no intention of leaving."
"..."
Xu Yin also convinced them.
But after the roasted whole lamb was cooked and sprinkled with seasonings, the rich aroma hit her nostrils, making even her, the roast lamb stall owner, a little greedy.
Simply out of sight and out of mind, she asked old William to go to the side to slice and weigh the meat for everyone. Young William and the others helped maintain order and collected food coupons, while she continued roasting the second lamb.
