Xu Tongdao is the county seat where he went by boat.

Sitting in the cabin of the wooden boat with a black canopy, watching the wooden boat chopping and chopping waves on the river, looking at the green grass and trees and crops on both banks, he seemed to return to his childhood.

Because it was afternoon, there were few passengers on the boat, and the boat was moving very fast, and it took less than half an hour to arrive at the dock of the county seat.

After going ashore, Xu Tongdao followed the route in his memory and came to a vegetable market near the wharf.

He came to the county seat to buy some mutton and all kinds of condiments needed for kebabs.

The reason why he came to the county seat instead of going to the vegetable market in their township to buy it was because he estimated that the vegetable market in the town did not sell mutton in the afternoon.

Mutton is not cheap, even if there is a sale in the township vegetable market, it is estimated that it will only be sold in a morning, and he even suspects that there is no mutton sold in the town's vegetable market in the morning.

So he simply came straight to the county seat.

There must be mutton sold in the county in the afternoon, and all kinds of seasoning varieties are also complete.

And the facts also proved that his judgment was correct, there were indeed three mutton sellers in the afternoon in the vegetable market he came to, Xu Tongdao asked the price, and it was indeed much more expensive than pork, and a pound of mutton cost eight yuan.

He was reluctant to buy too much, mainly to do experiments, and there was no need to buy too much at once.

He only needs more than a pound.

He asked for lamb.

There is no fat on the goat, too much lean meat, after the fire, the meat is easy to get old, not chewy, in contrast, a little fat sheep meat, when barbecuing, the fat meat turns into mutton fat to moisten the lean meat, fat and thin roasted out, the meat will be a lot more tender, there will be a soft and juicy taste.

After buying the mutton, he went to a dry goods store, bought all the seasonings he wanted, and bought two bamboo sticks, and then went to a place that sold coal stoves, and bought a basket of charcoal, the smokeless kind.

When he took the boat back to Xujia Village, it was already dusk when the smoke was curling.

My brother and sister are not at home, but the shrimp bandages and other things are already at home, and they should have gone to the town to sell river shrimp.

Xu Tongdao smiled, took the things he bought, and went into the kitchen to start preparing.

First, the lamb was peeled, then cut into small cubes, and then cut some onions and ginger slices, which were all in his kitchen.

Once these things are cut, it's pickled.

Use a plastic basin to mix the diced lamb with the chopped onion and ginger slices, add salt and rice wine, stir well, and put there to marinate slowly.

When he had done this, he turned around and went to the small tandoor from home, brought the charcoal he had just bought, and went to the open space outside the kitchen to make a fire.

He only experimented with skewers for the first time today, so he didn't pay too much attention to the tools, he made do with it first, a professional barbecue, and he didn't want to use it for the time being, so he used his own small tandoor to make do with it.

There are a lot of small tandoor stoves in his family's Xujia Village.

It's all done by each family.

The bottom of his tandoor is a broken enamel basin, rusty, he picked it up by the river, after picking up this broken enamel basin, he went to the river to get some silt back, and then mixed some rice husks into it, after stirring it, it was used as concrete, with both hands little by little on the broken enamel basin, hand molded out the shape of a small tandoor.

It's very durable, and if it cracks a little one day, and you get some mud to make it mushy, it's a good tandoor.

It took a bit of work to start the stove, so Xu Tongdao squatted outside the kitchen and made it for half an hour before he successfully lit the charcoal in the tandoor.

The charcoal that had just been lit, the smoke was a bit loud, and it was just in time for a breeze to blow, and he was unlucky...... I happened to squat downwind, so I was smoked to tears.

There was a sound of footsteps in the hall, Xu Tongdao thought that his younger brother and sister were back, so he didn't get up to look, but after a while, the voice of his mother Ge Xiaozhu came from the back door of the hall.

"Huh, Xiaodao, what are you doing with the stove......? Where did you get all this charcoal? What are you doing?"

(欸: 音ai)

Xu Tongdao looked back in amazement, "Mom, I haven't changed you yet, why are you back?"

Shouldn't she be in the polder at this time to flood control?

Ge Xiaozhu smiled, brushed the hair around his ear, and pinned it behind his ear, "It hasn't rained much in the past two days, the water level in the river has dropped by more than a meter, it's not so dangerous, the captain will let us take turns to come back to take a bath, rest and rest, it's my turn today, I don't have to go again tonight, you don't have to go tonight, hehe." ”

It can be seen that the task of flood control has been lightened, and her mood is much lighter.

Xu Tongdao nodded, "Oh, this is a good thing!"

He also had a smile on his face.

Ge Xiaozhu: "By the way, I just asked you what you were doing, but you haven't said it yet, what are you doing with the stove?"

When she asked, her brow furrowed again.

Before the words fell, before Xu Tongdao could answer, there was another sound of footsteps in the hall, and the voice of his sister Ge Yuzhu came, "Huh, Mom, why did you come back so early? Did the eldest brother go to change you so early today? I haven't cooked yet! The eldest brother went with an empty stomach?"

"Mom!" This is Xu Tonglu's voice, this child doesn't talk much, and when he sees his mother, he shouts such a word.

Ge Xiaozhu looked back and smiled: "The water level has dropped a lot, from today onwards, as long as the water level does not rise, our family can go to one person on the day shift every day, and there is no need to go to people at night." ”

After explaining, he paused, and then said: "Your eldest brother is starting a stove here! I don't know what he is doing, how can there be anything at home that needs to be stewed on the stove......

"Ah, big brother is starting the stove, let me see!"

Ge Yuzhu's voice was surprised, and she quickly ran to the back door, and when she saw that her eldest brother Xu Tongdao was really starting the stove, her eyes were even more surprised.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?"

"Let's do a little experiment!"

Xu Tongdao replied with a smile, "By the way, Mom!

"Changsheng?...... You ask him what he is doing? Well, yes, he's coming back, and this kid is also a miserable man, and he's been living and eating lately, and there's no one in his family to change him to come back and take a bath or something, and he's all ...... spoiled."

Ge Xiaozhu babbled, Xu Tongdao thought for a while, and said to his sister Ge Yuzhu: "In this way, Yuzhu, you help me to run, go and inform Lin Zi and Changsheng, and tell them to come to our house in an hour, and say that I have something good for them to taste! ”

Ge Yuzhu's eyes were puzzled, confused, she opened her mouth, she wanted to ask something, she thought about it, and nodded with a smile, "Okay! I'll go now!"

With that, she turned and trotted away.

She has been very obedient since she was a child.

"Xiaodao, what the hell are you doing? What kind of experiment did you just say?" Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help but ask.

"Well, grill some lamb kebabs. ”

Xu Tongdao said, smiled, got up and patted the charcoal ash on his hand, turned around and strode into the kitchen.

Ge Xiaozhu and Xu Tonglu were both aroused by curiosity and hurriedly followed.
