"The door is very simple, the storefront is not large, it is near the Great Wall in the county, and the lamb here will make you addicted." Instead of tea, it was served for free, but a bowl of rice soup with lamb with a scorched fire, which was particularly refreshing..."
Mr. Song Dejun, the owner of the Yanchi Huianbao Lamb Restaurant, led me to the east wall of the store and said very proudly: "You see, this is the mirror." ”
This is a mirror of special significance, it is the origin of this Huianbao lamb restaurant, where Mr. Song Dejun established a deep love affair with the salt pond and the salt pond lamb.
The calligraphy on the mirror surface is written in red: Awarded to Comrade Zhao Yulan, self-funded to run a restaurant; Mengcheng Commune Committee, March 8, 1983.
Mr. Song Dejun said Zhao Yulan was his mother. In 1982, my mother opened a restaurant in Mengcheng called "Drizzle Restaurant". This mirror was the commune's reward for mothers on International Women's Day the following year (1983).
In 2003, the administrative division of Yanchi County was adjusted by the withdrawal of Huianbao Town and Mengcheng Township to form a new Huianbao Town.
Since the mother's generation started the business, The Huianbao Lamb Restaurant has been a "long-established brand" for nearly 40 years. Mr. Song Dejun has opened a shop at the current address since 2002 to continue his mother's career and inherit the taste of his mother.
Mr. Song Dejun said: "I have been raising sheep with my parents since I was a child, and I have a special love for sheep. Keep making lamb meat non-stop. In order to make a living, my mother initially borrowed 2700 yuan, bought two bungalows on the edge of the 211 national highway in Mengcheng, and began to make lamb. ”
"There are three most prominent methods of lamb meat, one is stir-frying, the other is steaming, and the third is homemade. When I was a child, it was common to steamed lamb at home. ”
I said yes, the popular traditional cross-talk "Newspaper Name" has steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, roasted ducks, roasted chicks...
"At that time, there were not many restaurants on the side of the national highway, and the driver who passed by came to eat a stir-fry, so he fried the lamb in high oil and high oil, and fried it for more than ten or twenty minutes. The drivers said it was so delicious. Since then, this unique practice has been passed down. ”
Mr. Song Dejun said: "Stir-fried lamb meat, the selection of ingredients must not exceed fifty days, this kind of lamb meat is tender, easy to rot." Why is the lamb in the salt pond delicious? Because the grass on our mountain is very mixed, there are bitter beans, licorice, shallots, and Chinese medicinal herbs, and sheep eat these grasses; then the sheep drink salt and alkali water, which is quite good. Slowly formed the unique taste of salt pond lamb. ”
"The ingredients for steaming in the bowl are as good as possible for forty days of lamb, and the meat pieces that are chopped out must also be exquisite, which is no more than three centimeters in size. The lamb is washed twice, the cold water is under the pot, the pot is opened to skim off the blood foam, and then the salt, peppercorns, green onions, ginger are prepared, and our secret seasoning water, and then mixed with these spices on the bowl to steam, about one and a half to two hours, the bowl steamed lamb is ready. ”
"Now people's tastes are much higher than in the past, so we have to do more exquisite." Another special method of bowl steamed lamb meat is to cover the lamb meat with a layer of noodle steamed bread palms and then steamed in the pot. ”
I said that a few days ago I went to Haiyuan to eat lamb from this practice, which is called "bread lamb.".
Mr. Song Dejun said: "Bowl steamed lamb, from a nutritional point of view, it is original, the fresh flavor of the meat is in the bowl, not lost, the meat is crisp, rotten, soft." This kind of steaming method is only available in Ningxia, and there is nowhere else! ”
Mr. Song Dejun's faith does not change, full of confidence, he said that he is not enough salt pond lamb, he continues to study and launch fine products, he wants to ensure that the traditional flavor remains unchanged, he wants to continue to cook public taste for each customer who loves him, he wants to inherit the good taste of his mother with a reverent heart, and he will not change his heart to care for the salt pond Huianbao lamb this food culture business card.
The so-called "real water has no fragrance". Mr. Song Dejun hung the precious mirror in the restaurant, which was to motivate himself, spur himself on, and watch himself.
Hui'anbao lamb, specialties include soba noodle cold powder, heart and liver baby, stir-fried lamb, bowl steamed lamb, braised snacks, special stir-fried braised meat, hand-torn chicken, fried yellow rice cake and so on. What if you ask me how it tastes? I will first accompany you to see the honor plate on the wall of the store, and then quote a wonderful message from a netizen: "I have not moved the chopsticks, my heart is drunk, this is the allure of a delicate food." Taste a chic delicacy that you will never forget. An exquisite delicacy, like a lovely gift, when you get your hands on it, in addition to cherishing, is admiration. ”
I don't know how to evaluate the taste of Huianbao lamb, are you still satisfied? The heart is not as good as the action, the action is not as good as the mouth. Let's go to the salt pond, to this treasure land full of happy sheep and sheep, to see sheep, eat sheep, slander sheep...
