The express delivery arrived in three days.
When Ah Hui heard that the delivery station had called and said that the mutton had arrived, he was extremely excited. He informed Zhang Yifan and rode his electric donkey to the delivery station. He took the mutton and rushed into Jiang Jun's office.
It was 9:30 in the morning. Jiang Jun, who had nothing to do, was playing games when he saw Ah Hui dragging a big box into his office.
Jiang Jun was stunned when he saw the familiar styrofoam box.
"Don't tell me this is also a local specialty sent by your parents?”
A Hui wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled."Boss, how did you know? This is my family's local specialty. We raised sheep on the grassland. The meat tastes delicious. I've been craving it recently, so I specially asked my father to send it to me.”
It really was sent from his hometown. Jiang Jun's expression was a little strange.
What was going on recently? Everyone had become obsessed with bringing local specialties to the company.
Ah Hui pushed the box in front of Jiang Jun and scratched his head in embarrassment."Boss, your craftsmanship is so good. Why don't you help me make this lamb? The mutton you specially selected is the most suitable for making roasted whole lamb. If I make it myself, it's purely a waste of the lamb.”
"It's just nice. I can treat all my colleagues to a taste. I haven't treated Lu Ming back to his seafood feast last time. This time, I'll let him taste my roasted whole lamb feast.”
Oh, so they were craving his cooking. No wonder they were all buying dishes from their hometown. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Jun immediately understood and didn't refuse.
"Alright, put the mutton in the refrigerator in the kitchen first. It takes a long time to roast a whole lamb. If you start cooking now, it will be afternoon by the time it's done.”
After Ah Hui left with the mutton, Jiang Jun called Zhang Yifan to his office and told him to go to the market and get a big stove for roasting mutton. This roast mutton wasn't kebabs. A small stove could do it.
"Boss, I've already bought the oven and just sent it to the courier station. It's too big for me to move alone, so I'm waiting for my break time to get someone to go and get it back with me. Don't worry, I've specially gone to the market to investigate and compared it with the Internet. I've specially chosen a cheap and high-quality one.”
Jiang Jun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"When did I ask you to buy an oven?”
Only then did Zhang Yifan realize that he had let it slip and laughed in embarrassment.
"A few days ago, Ah Hui told us that he wanted the house to send over a big-headed goat so that you could roast a whole goat for us. I thought that there was no oven to roast a whole goat, so I ordered one first.”
Jiang Jun was speechless.
He felt that something was wrong, but he did not know what it was.
The process required to roast a whole lamb was very complicated and challenging. Unless they went through special training, very few ordinary people could master the ability to roast a whole lamb.
By now, roasting whole lambs had become a skill. There was also a special work license. With this certificate, it meant that one was a master who specialized in roasting whole lambs.
Even when Jiang Jun was a hotel chef in his previous life, he rarely cooked this dish. For a moment, his hands were itching to try it, so he went to the kitchen to prepare the mutton.
Ah Hui's family was indeed a professional sheep seller. The sheep they chose was a white big-headed wether sheep specially prepared for roasting whole lambs. Judging from the meat quality, it was definitely between one to two years old. It was a standard high-quality lamb used for roasting whole lambs.
It was also very clean. Jiang Jun only needed a little more processing before he could marinate it.
This was the most important part of roasting a whole lamb. How much seasoning did a lamb have to put in order to marinate the entire lamb thoroughly? It was a test of the chef's ability.
Adding a little more of the various seasonings could affect the taste of the roasted lamb. Only when the ratio of the ingredients was perfect, not too much, not too little, could the lamb be roasted with crispy outside and tender inside.
Jiang Jun calculated the amount of spices according to the size of the whole lamb. He then added some green onions and ginger and spread them all over the lamb.
Because there was more meat on the lamb leg, it could not be marinated directly. It needed to be cut with a knife at the thickest part of the meat and marinade it.
It took Jiang Jun a lot of effort just to smear the material evenly and thoroughly on such a big sheep.
Because it was a whole lamb, the marinating time had a precise requirement. It could not be too short, or else the flavor would not be enough and the meat inside would be too light. If the marinating time was too long, the meat outside would be marinated for a long time, and the spices would be too heavy, thus covering the original fresh fragrance of the mutton.
Jiang Jun placed the whole lamb in a large basin and covered it with a lid. He looked at the time and then went to prepare other things.
At this moment, Zhang Yifan and Ah Hui brought the oven over and placed it in the corner of the kitchen.
Fortunately, the kitchen was big. Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to put this thing. Jiang Jun saw a small bag and took it over to take a look. Oh, it was quite well prepared.
He didn't know when they started to study eating roasted whole lamb, but they even prepared the fruit charcoal for the roasted lamb in advance.
The whole lamb was roasted over an open fire, so there was little smoke.
He had to light the charcoal in the furnace in advance to burn off the first batch of smoke. Only after it turned into an open fire could he put the sheep into the oven.
Time ticked by, and soon, the mutton was fully marinated. Jiang Jun picked it up and used a metal spike to secure the tail in his stomach. This way, when roasting, the tail wouldn't be burnt because it was too thin.
He hung the entire lamb belly up in the oven that had been heated in advance. In order to heat the upper and lower temperatures evenly, he covered the lid.
The flames flickered, and the water in the mutton slowly dripped down, making a sizzling sound.
Jiang Jun found a small stool and sat next to the oven. He couldn't leave people at this time. He had to pay attention to the heat of such a big sheep at all times.
He had to adjust the flame if there was anything wrong. Otherwise, it would be very easy to fail. Even with the system's bonus, Jiang Jun was still very careful.
Because he had to roast the whole lamb, Jiang Jun made a very simple lunch.
However, the employees did not have any objections. During the meal time, they all curiously went to watch the process of roasting the whole lamb.
During this time, someone asked Jiang Jun if he needed help. Jiang Jun couldn't help but remember the scene of everyone coming over to help at the gathering that day, and he decisively shook his head.
Slowly, the moisture on the surface of the mutton in the oven dried up. The oil inside slowly dripped out, and the skin began to wrinkle and shrink. The fragrance slowly spread out.
In the beginning, there was only a faint fragrance. Gradually, as he flipped, the fragrance became rich.
