Chapter 46 The Celebration Banquet

The soldiers were eating and drinking in high spirits, and the scene was very noisy, with all kinds of noises being heard.

An hour ago.

"Report - reinforcements will arrive tomorrow night!" A spy rushed to the tent camp.

Gao Yehua was delighted: "Is the news accurate?"

"King Huiyun, we just came from the front to report that the news is true," the spy said.

"Okay!" Gao Yehua was in a good mood, "pass the order and reward the three armies tonight!"

The soldiers who received the news immediately shouted.

This shout was like adding another fire to the stove. The soldiers in the whole battalion began to boil like boiling oil, cheering:

"Long live the Fenglin Empire!"

Every soldier's face was filled with joy and a strange look.

This is a kind of excitement. Excited that they have finally received reinforcements after holding on for days, and they no longer worry about enemy attacks.

A large group of dark soldiers gathered in the camp, and every one of them was full of heroism.

"Whoosh——"

There was a loud cracking sound in the air, and in the center of the camp, a firework shot up into the sky without warning, exploding instantly in the air with brilliant lights.

Immediately afterwards, there were several more sounds of soaring into the sky, and fireworks flew into the sky one after another, blooming one after another, just like countless delicate flowers vying for beauty in the sky, which was so beautiful.

The atmosphere in the camp was even more jubilant, and it was perfect to use these fireworks to celebrate the coming reinforcements.

These soldiers who sacrificed their lives and blood for the Fenglin Empire in the border towns finally waited for the timely rain.

Unknowingly, the soldiers' eyes were full of tears. Some silently wiped their tears with their sleeves, but more of them were cheering and cheering up.

The colors of the fireworks in the night were so gorgeous, and in the eyes of the joyful soldiers, they were even more magnificent and dazzling.

The soldiers endured long days and nights of perseverance and were finally able to relax.

Gao Yeyun gave special permission for the soldiers to have a good rest tonight, and also stated that they could drink alcohol tonight.

The army is not allowed to drink alcohol. This is a regulation.

The most memorable way of drinking among the soldiers was the celebration banquet after the last victory.

The veteran filled the wine in a rhubarb basin used for washing his face, and then drank it in large gulps.

Imagine that a rhubarb basin two or three times larger than the head is used to hold wine, and then many soldiers gather together, and you drink it one sip at a time. The taste is really refreshing.

Just to defend the city, I haven't drank for many days.

This time King Yun relaxed the military order and allowed everyone to drink, which indeed made the soldiers extremely happy. However, King Yun also set a limit, and each person could not exceed three bowls of wine.

Since we want to celebrate and drink, food is indispensable. When it comes to food, the lieutenant specifically found Lin Yi and said, "Lin Yi, I know you are good at cooking. This time you will give me some guidance and try to cook more delicious food for everyone to enjoy."

Have a happy celebration feast."

Cooking is Ji Yi's strong point. Without a second thought, Lin Yi agreed, "No problem, leave it to me!"

In Ji Yi's subconscious, celebrating success means eating meat and drinking alcohol. There can be no meat without wine, and no wine without meat.

Then this celebration banquet was really simple, just add some big pieces of meat. The decision was made, and Lin Yi led his troops to go to the city to find some ingredients immediately.

There are sufficient reserves in the city, Lin Yi looks at it

Hanging a whole sheep on the iron hook, he immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Go and get some sheep. This time I will get you some roasted whole sheep."

For big dishes such as roasted whole lamb, Lin Yi will be in charge. As for other big pot stews, just rely on the people from the Huotou Army.

A sheep with its internal organs and skin removed can produce about twenty kilograms of meat, which is about forty kilograms.

If a soldier had more than a kilogram of meat, one sheep would be enough to feed forty soldiers. With so many people in the army, it was not an easy task to roast so many sheep at one time.

It seems that roasting whole lamb is still a bit difficult.

But since it was a celebration banquet, it wouldn't be appropriate if there weren't some big dishes. Ji Yi thought about it and decided that it still had to be grilled, so that the soldiers could eat comfortably no matter what.

The next step was to find cooking utensils. Ji Yi searched for a while and accidentally saw some big forks, which seemed to be used for roasting whole lamb.

When Lin Yi saw it, he was very happy. With the help of these big grills, it would be much easier to roast the whole lamb.

In fact, roasting food does not necessarily mean roasting whole lamb, but I have to say that roasting whole lamb is really attractive.

At least the soldiers would feel a little excited when they saw the whole roasted lamb.

Lin Yi led the soldiers to move the grill to the open space of the camp.

As soon as Lin Yi directed the soldiers to move the grill down, the leader of the Huotou Army ran over: "Lin Yi, I heard that you are going to command the people of the Huotou Army to cook this time?"

"What's the matter? Cooking is my strong point. I'm asking you to instruct your Huotou army to cook. Isn't it wronging you?"

The other party smiled: "How can this be possible? It's really ridiculous. I didn't expect that you, a strategist, have the potential to become a fire-headed soldier."

Lin Yi smiled.

Multiple grills were placed side by side, with a whole lamb on each grill. At this time, the charcoal fire below was also lit. Lin Yi arranged for some soldiers to start shaking these large grills.

Whole lambs were roasting on multiple large grills. It was really quiet and quiet, and many soldiers who had nothing to do gathered around to watch the spectacle.

In fact, the method of roasting a whole lamb is not difficult. The key is how to roast the flavor. If we use our usual roasting method to roast a whole lamb, the roasted taste will definitely not be good. Because of roasting

The meat of the whole lamb is so thick. If you sprinkle some chili powder on the surface, only the surface will be flavorful, and the meat inside will have little salt flavor.

So Ji Yi specially prepared some sauce and smeared it on it first, marinating it while roasting it. The roasted whole lamb produced in this way will be full of flavor from the inside to the outside.

As for the sauce, it doesn’t use too many ingredients, it’s mainly a mixture of oil, sesame oil, salt, minced garlic, and shredded ginger.

After Lin Yi adjusted it, he picked up the brush and brushed it on the mutton.

In fact, if you want to make a roasted whole lamb with full flavor, it is best to marinate the lamb with some ginger, garlic and salt the night before, so that it will taste better when roasted the next day.

But if a small family eats this, it is impossible to roast a whole lamb.

But even if you only roast a leg of lamb or some lamb ribs, you can still use this method. Marinate it for a period of time and then grill it, and the taste will be particularly good.

Lin Yi had no choice. Due to time constraints, it was not enough to marinate it for a while, so he could only use the method of brushing the sauce to enhance the flavor.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Lin Yi's brushing once was not enough, so he brushed it back and forth three times before finishing all the sauce in the bowl.

At this time, the inside of the mutton is very flavorful, and with some sesame oil added to the sauce just now, the fat on the surface of the mutton is now making a sizzling sound mixed with the sesame oil.

Because sesame oil was added, the smell that came out was quite fragrant, and the soldiers watching took a sip of the oil.

But this is just the beginning. The roasted whole lamb has not yet been colored, and it is still far from attractive.

Coloring is the most attractive aspect of barbecue. If you want to roast a whole lamb that is bright red and oily, then coloring is a necessary step. The coloring ingredients are very simple, just mix sugar and soy sauce.

This is also the material needed to color the braised pork. You can imagine the color of the braised pork and you will know what the fully colored roasted whole lamb will look like.

Soy sauce is salty and white sugar is sweet, but when these two seasonings are mixed together, there is no strange taste, just like braised pork. You will definitely not find the taste of braised pork strange.

After the soy sauce and sugar are brushed on the mutton, the color of the mutton changes instantly, from light red at first to dark red and shiny later.

As soon as the color came up, the eyes of the soldiers watching shone. Thinking of eating such roasted whole lamb later, one or two of them couldn't help but drool.

After coloring the sugar in turn, Ji Yi was not in a hurry to continue applying sesame oil because the fat on the mutton had not yet been completely refined.

If you brush the sesame oil again at this time, it will not only be unnecessary, but also interfere with the taste of the meat.

But you can't wait for the fat to dry up before continuing to add oil. In that case, the fat meat will be delicious, but the lean meat will be particularly bad and taste a little worse.

Generally, as long as you see that there is not much oil on the surface of the meat and the crackling sound has subsided, you can brush the oil again.

Because the meat of whole lamb is relatively thick, brushing oil is also to ensure the taste of the lamb, so if you only roast small pieces of meat, you don’t have to go to such trouble. If the fat and oil on it are extracted, it will be enough to ensure

The taste is gone.

After baking for about half an hour, Lin Yi started to brush the oil for the last time.

After brushing, sprinkle some chili powder and salt on top of the roasted whole lamb.

If you still feel that the taste of the mutton is not enough, you can mix a sauce yourself.

If you prefer spicy food, use small red pepper, ginger, garlic, minced green onion, and chili oil to make a spicier sauce dish.

If you like it sweeter, add some sugar, sesame paste and the like to adjust it.

Lin Yi did not choose these sauces. The point of roast lamb is to eat the meat in one big mouth. The taste of the meat is mixed with oil, spicy and salty. It is delicious when you eat it in your mouth and drink a sip of wine.

If there is too much sauce, it will not only hinder the taste, but also affect the taste of the wine. It will not be fun to eat meat and drink alcohol.

Just as Ji Yi finished roasting the whole lamb, he heard a whistle blowing from the camp.

In the camp, Gao Yehua looked majestic in a black robe.

The soldiers sat on the ground.

"King Yun invites you." All the soldiers in the audience raised their cups and shouted, raising their heads and drinking.

"Okay, everyone, have fun. Although the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow night, the situation is ever-changing and we must not relax. You can just taste the wine, but don't get drunk, otherwise the enemy will come and kill you, and you won't know how you died."
