"The main reason for fitness people to eat chicken breast is because it has high protein content and is easy to be absorbed by the body."

"And chicken breast contains phospholipids that play an important role in human growth and development. This is one of the important sources of fat and phospholipids in our dietary structure, so it is especially suitable for consumption during the fat-reducing period."

"The reason why chicken breast is eaten in summer is also because this kind of meat is easier to be absorbed by the body."

"Of course, there is another kind of meat that is also very suitable for eating in summer, and that is... mutton."

"The so-called winter dog and summer sheep and winter dog and summer sheep mean that eating dog meat in winter can keep warm and resist cold, and eating dog meat in summer can nourish winter deficiency and summer."

Studio.

"I've heard that too."

"Indeed, I've heard a lot of people talk about winter dogs and summer sheep, and when summer comes, the mutton restaurant is basically full."

"I'm just wondering... Many people like to drink mutton soup in summer. Drinking such hot mutton soup in summer, wouldn't it really make you feel angry?"

"What are winter dogs and summer sheep? There are so many sayings."

"Is this a superstition? Maybe it was made up by those who sell mutton and dog meat."

Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"Sometimes I wonder, where do you come from so many conspiracy theories? Could it be that the old sayings you hear are used by the ancients to fool you?"

"The saying of winter dog and summer sheep has a history of at least several hundred years. At that time, there were not many sheep's head restaurants."

"Let's not talk about it far away, let's just talk about it in Zhazigou. When I was a child, almost every summer, everyone would organize a partnership to buy a sheep from the sheep farmers to kill."

"And in the summer at that time, I could drink mutton soup with mutton liver several times a year. Although the mutton soup is hot, it does have a good effect of relieving heat, preventing heatstroke, and detoxifying heat."

"However, it should be noted that not all mutton is suitable for summer consumption. This mainly depends on which part of the sheep it is."

"For example, if you eat sheep's offal, this kind of food is sweet and warm. Such a part is not suitable for summer, but it is suitable for nourishing yang and preventing cold in winter."

"And sheep only have sheep liver and sheep gallbladder, which belong to the bitter cold part, so the liver is usually nourished to make soup in summer."

"As for what my friends were curious about just now... is the mutton soup so hot that it's not suitable for summer consumption? In fact, it's just the opposite."

"Drinking a bowl of steaming mutton soup on a hot day is indeed easy to make people sweat profusely, but this is to eliminate the heat in the body. After sweating, you will feel cool all over your body, even after two or three days , and there will be no hot and dry feeling.”

Although mutton is a sweet and hot food, this sentence is quite one-sided.

For mutton, in fact, it itself will undergo a hot and cold yin and yang conversion.Because sheep are pure herbivores, when spring comes, the vegetation is lush and green, and the sheep, which seldom eat green grass and green leaves all winter, begin to feast on it.

And spring belongs to the tree that raises liver qi. Because the liver and gallbladder of sheep are in spring and all the green plants are eaten, the liver and gallbladder of sheep will rise to the peak in summer.

And because the liver and gallbladder of sheep is bitter and cold, the mutton in summer is catalyzed by the liver and gallbladder to become cool.

Therefore, the eating habits of mutton in summer are cool, which is a nutritious food for relieving heat and dryness, and at the same time tonifying deficiency and strengthening kidney and strengthening yang.

Li Yuan talked eloquently and introduced summer food to everyone in a leisurely manner.While Li Yuan was speaking, he had already washed the tender chicken breast and put it in the pot to cook.

Li Yuan: "Chicken breast meat is relatively fresh and tender. If it is prepared according to our normal method, it will be easily aged. Therefore, when cooking it, you can wash it like I do and put it on a steamer to cook."

"However, it is best to use low heat when steaming. The cooking process should not be too long. It is suitable for 10 minutes to half an hour, so that the chicken will be more tender."

Half an hour is not a long time, and while Li Yuan was tidying up the kitchen while waiting, he felt that the time passed in a short while.

Kaizi also came in two or three times during the period, in order to see when dinner would be ready.

Of course, whether you are hungry or not is another matter, the main reason is that it has been too long since I have eaten Li Yuan's cooking in a normal state, and my taste buds... are really out of control.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan lifted the lid of the pot, and the originally pink chicken breast had turned white, and the bottom of the pot was mixed with a lot of blood from the chicken breast.

Li Yuan took out the chicken breast, put on gloves, and with both hands, tore the chicken breast apart from the middle.

The inside of the chicken breast is completely cooked, and it is hot, with a faint meaty aroma.

"Attention everyone, because what we cook is cold chicken breast, so after steaming, everyone must check whether the inside of the chicken breast is fully cooked."

"Like this, if there is no blood color, it is already ripe and edible."

After tearing the chicken breast apart and putting it on the chopping board, Li Yuan didn't rush to deal with the chicken, but put it aside to let it cool down a bit before handling it.

After about 5 minutes, the chicken breast had slowly become warm. Li Yuan picked up his gloves again this time and began to handle the chicken breast.

“One of the secrets to making cold chicken breast delicious is that you must not use a knife, but handle it with your hands from start to finish.”

"The texture of the chicken is oblique. If you cut it with a knife, it will destroy its texture, but the texture of the chicken breast that is torn by hand will not be destroyed, which will make the chicken breast more delicious after cold dressing."

"Like this, just tear it into pieces of this size, and then put all these chickens together, and also put them in the sauce."

In this way, the preparation of Li Yuan's second dish was soon completed, and the next step was to mix the sauce just like the first cold okra.

Salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, chili, purple onion, chili oil, sesame oil, minced garlic, and a little shredded carrot.

There is no need to add extra oil to this dish, because the chili oil itself contains some oil, and cold dishes are originally eaten with the taste of the ingredients themselves. This is the case with okra and chicken breast.

The second dish is ready, and the rest is carrot soup.

Because the family didn't grow radishes, and since Li Yuan came back yesterday, he hasn't had time to look at his own garden, so the radishes were bought at the market ready-made.

However, the vegetables on the stalls in the market are basically grown in the nearby village name's own home, because they can't eat so much, so they are sold.

Such radishes are delicious and affordable, and even if they are bought, they will not cost much.

Just like today, Li Yuan and Hu Kai went to the market to buy a large basket of vegetables, but they only spent about [-] yuan.And importantly, it even includes these two chicken breasts.
