Bacon lamb - the joy of Empress Dowager Cixi

Speaking of lamb, we have to bring up a story. In 1900, the Gengzi Incident, Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Xi'an with the Guangxu Emperor, and one day took the imperial dragon to the slope of the City God Temple in the city, and suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance, so she called people to stop the imperial dragon and ask where the smell came from, and someone replied that it was the smell of the lamb shop cooking the lamb. Empress Dowager Cixi was salivating, so she sent someone to buy it back, and after eating it, she liked it very much, and also rewarded the golden sign "Ren Zhi Po", and later also took the lamb as a tribute.

After that, the lamb meat has been passed down to today a hundred years later, which was originally the food of the people, and by chance, it was encountered by Cixi, and its reputation soared, but in the end it was because of its pure taste and convenient preservation. The production method is also simple and easy to understand, a marinade: large porcelain jar poured into the well water, mutton, fresh lamb with bones, the skin surface is relatively folded and put, sprinkled with fine salt, glauber's salt, summer marinating for one to two days, spring and autumn marinating for three to four days, winter marinating for four to five days, marinating until the meat is red inside and outside. Two boiling: pour how much old brine soup, pour how much water, supplemented by peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, cumin as the ingredient, high heat boiling, lamb under the pot, old and tender respectively, skin face up, and then boil open salt, then cover, wu fire simmer for four or five hours until the meat is rotten. Three fishing: skim the oil slick, press the fire to extinguish, simmer for half an hour until the soup temperature drops, use a long bamboo stick to pick the meat, put it into a porcelain plate. Four decants: Place the skin on a flat plate, pour the original soup several times, and then carefully dry it with a clean cloth.
