Almost every household in rural Qidong raises goats. As time went by, Qidong people had a special liking for mutton, and their practices and eating methods became more and more particular. Qidong mutton became famous. Special mutton restaurants are spread all over the city. Even major cities such as Shanghai and Suzhou, the brand of "Qidong Mutton" has also appeared one after another, and the business is really booming. <br />According to the chef, the process of making Qidong mutton is not mysterious, but it is quite particular. After the sheep are killed, water is boiled in the stove, and the fire is getting stronger. Put the mutton into the pot, and then cook slowly until it is thoroughly cooked. After taking out the cooked meat, cut it into white and braise it in red. In the past, the seasonings were nothing more than rice wine, ginger, peppers and the like. It's different now. In addition to the traditional ones, soy sauce, seafood sauce, rock sugar and other seasonings are must-have. The original savory flavor of the stewed mutton has disappeared, but the umami flavor has been fully released, reaching the ultimate taste. <br /><br />People in Qidong have a special understanding of the word "xian" formed by fish and sheep. In Qidong, fish and mutton can often be tasted mixed in restaurants. The taste of this dish is really mouth-watering. <br /><br />Mutton has the effect of dispelling cold and warming, and is especially suitable for consumption in winter. In winter, mutton on the table becomes a trend. During the holidays, mutton is indispensable for food purchases. When a pot of steaming hot braised mutton is served at the entrance, a fragrance will fill the mouth. When the mutton slips into your stomach, the strange umami flavor will stay in your feelings for a long time. At this time, other delicacies from mountains and seas will become eclipsed and have no flavor. You will involuntarily grab the wine cup on the table and drink it in one gulp!
