In addition to this ancient tower, there are weeds and miscellaneous trees all around, but there are also a few stout trees worth seeing, which are said to be hundreds of years old, which is also a kind of monument.

However, no matter how ancient the tree is, it is impossible to spend too much time to watch it, and soon, several people have no interest in watching it, and they began to prepare for the main program planned today - barbecue.

Jian Kang and Jian Fu have been roasting game in the field since they were children, so the work of building the stove is taken care of by the two of them.

Warlene is not good at cooking local food, but she can still cut vegetables, she first followed Shen Xian to a pond not far from the ancient tower to wash vegetables.

"How can there be a faucet here?" Worlene wondered.

She thought that Shen Xian was going to wash vegetables in the pond, but she muttered in her heart that the water in the pond was stagnant, dirty and smelly, and it was better not to wash the vegetables after washing, and suddenly saw a faucet in the weedy pile by the pond.

There are no signs of human life in the barren mountains and mountains, and a faucet suddenly pops up, which is indeed very strange.

Shen Xian smiled: "People's thinking is really strange, such a big pond is clearly placed in front of you, don't you think it's strange, the faucet is so hidden in the grass, you deliberately pay attention to it." ”

"Well, what do you mean?" Volin didn't understand for a moment.

Shen Xian prompted: "The wall of the pond is made of stone, the shape is square, and it is obviously artificially made, how can you not doubt it?"

"Yes," said Wallen, "the human mind is indeed strange, and instead of paying attention to the obvious, it is entangled in the details. ”

Shen Xian shook her head: "Whether it's obvious or trivial, it's useless to get tangled, because no one knows when this pond and faucet will be."

"It is said that the pond has been around for some years, and when Z City was just a village, this pond was here, and this faucet is obviously a product of recent years, but when it was there, no one can say. ”

Warleen guessed, "If you say so, this pond might be a monument with a story." ”

"Perhaps," Shen Xian said as she stepped on the weeds around the faucet, "I have checked the county records, but there is no record of this pond." ”

As for the record of the ancient tower in the county chronicle, it is only a few strokes, the age of the tower, the purpose of building the tower, is basically the person who compiled the county chronicle according to folklore, as for the original appearance of the tower, it is also passed down orally from generation to generation, Shen Xian does not know whether to believe it or not.

Warlene sighed: "There are so many monuments in the world, how can any monument be recorded in writing. ”

If you want to talk about historical sites, there are a few places near their village, and the old people in the village tell the stories of those historic sites, one by one, but no one knows whether it is true or false.

Shen Xian shook her head with a smile: "Yes, I just don't know what content the government will use to promote the origin of the ancient tower after repairing it and building a tourist resort, or in what form it will advertise." ”

"That's not something we can control," Wallen laughed, "I'm just curious, can the water in this faucet work?"

"If you can't use it, I won't bring you here. Shen Xian turned on the faucet.

The water coming out of the faucet was turbid and rusty at first, but gradually the water became clearer and clearer until it was transparent and colorless.

After letting the water from the faucet empty for a while, Shen Xian began to wash vegetables with Wo Lin.

Put the cleaned dishes into a clean plastic bag, and the two of them carried the dishes back to the place where they were going to build the earthen stove.

The so-called earthen stove is to hollow out the earthen weir into the shape of the stove, and then use bricks and stones to build a frame to support it, so as to prevent the earthen stove from collapsing.

When Warlene and Shen Xian went back, the earthen stove had already reached a scale, and Jian Fu and Jian Kang were laying brick and stone shelves, without fixing the masonry with mud, and completely relying on the experience of the two to maintain the balance of masonry and stone. Li Lei started his hand, Zeng Yiyi circled around, Zeng Yiyi's appearance was very similar to the rustic atmosphere of a countryman when he first entered the city.

"Teacher Shen, don't be busy, I'll come. Seeing that Wo Lin and Shen Xian were busy pulling out the clean vegetables from the bag, Jian Kang left the work of building the earthen stove to Jian Fu and Li Lei, and came over to prepare the dishes himself.

In Jian Kang's heart, Shen Xian, a beautiful, gentle and versatile woman, should not deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long, but should be a fairy who is far away from the hustle and bustle and lives with a fairy spirit, just like Li Lei called Shen Xian, to be a fairy sister.

Therefore, every time Jian Kang encounters Shen Xian doing mundane things, he will try his best to help or simply replace it completely, so that the immortal energy in Shen Xian's body will last forever.

Shen Xian didn't sit idle as Jian Kang wished: "Let's do it together, there are more people, and it will be faster." ”

The three of them divided the labor, Jian Kang cut the vegetables, Shen Xian was responsible for the preliminary pickling of the ingredients, and Worin put the vegetables on bamboo skewers.

After the earthen stove was set up, Jian Fu and Li Lei used the charcoal bought in advance to barbecue, and Zeng Yiyi and Worin wore bamboo skewers together.

Originally, Jian Fu planned to pick up firewood on the mountain and make a fire on the spot for barbecue, but Shen Xian and Li Lei disagreed, saying that it would damage the environment and may cause mountain fires, so they finally changed to buying ready-made charcoal barbecue.

The first batch of barbecue was pork belly, and Warlene ate it deliciously, so she thought about grilling it herself, because she had no experience, and the grilled meat was either black charcoal, or half-cooked, in short, she couldn't eat it.

Compared with her, Zeng Yiyi's barbecued meat is even more unbearable, but both of them refuse to admit defeat and learn patiently.

Of course, they didn't want to eat the things they baked, let alone give them to Jian Kang and Shen Xian, Shen Xian ate all the meat that Li Lei roasted and fed to her mouth, most of the meat that Jian Kang ate was grilled by Jian Fu, and Worin fed it to Jian Kang while eating it herself.

As for Zeng Yiyi, Li Lei either ignored her, or sneered at her, so she didn't want to whisper to Li Lei in order to eat barbecue, so she could only eat Jian Fu's barbecued meat.

The pork belly is the first to be consumed, and the beef and chicken are marinated, along with some vegetables.

Jian Kang and Shen Xian also joined the barbecue army, and whoever wanted to grill anything would wear it with bamboo skewers.

Drinking beer while eating barbecue is also a great joy in life, Shen Xian, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, is also very interested in drinking beer with everyone, and it seems that the amount of alcohol is not small.

Warlene was playful and wanted to exchange the beef she was about to roast with Jane Kang, but Jane coaxed and handed the roasted beef to Warlene: "Sister-in-law, eat mine, the meat roasted by me is better than the boss's roast." ”

Warlene poked the barbecue skewer in her hand towards Jian Fu, and scolded with a smile: "Get out of the way, who is your sister-in-law." ”

Jian Fu smiled and ran away, and soon gathered back to the earthen stove to continue roasting.

Zeng Yiyi shouted: "Jian Kang, I have booked these strings in your hand." ”

Warleen deliberately angry with her: "Where is your turn." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the beef skewers in Jian Kang's hand.

Jian Kang didn't let go: "Don't worry, it's not ripe yet." ”

Warlene didn't let go: "You teach me how to bake." ”

Jian Kang first brushed a layer of honey on the beef: "This meat is delicious." ”

Brushed another layer of oil on the beef: "It's not easy to paste." ”

"Haha, isn't that more delicious? Wallen laughed and sprinkled cumin and pepper on the beef.

"Well, it tastes better that way. Jian Kang spoke, sprinkling chili powder on the beef.

"Hahahaha," Zeng Yiyi Dale, "Volin, don't you rob me now." ”

Wallen let go: "I don't know as much as you. ”

Jian Kang had sprinkled chili powder on the beef skewers, so she wouldn't force herself to eat chili peppers in order to tease Zeng Yiyi.

"Haha, hey, hey, hey. Zeng Yiyi was proud, and reached out to Jian Kang to take the beef skewers in his hand.

Jian Kang avoided Zeng Yiyi's hand and handed the beef skewers to Shen Xian: "Teacher Shen, try my craftsmanship." ”

"You can eat it yourself," Shen Xian shook the chicken wings in her hand, "Mine is already baked." ”

Jian Kanglehe: "Teacher Shen, then let's change, you can taste my craft, and let me see your craft." ”

"Okay. Shen Xian gave Jian Kang a few strings of chicken wings in her hand and took Jian Kang's beef skewers.

Jian Kang took a bite of the chicken wings and praised it sincerely: "Well, it's delicious." ”

Divided most of the chicken wings and gave them to Wo Lin: "Try Mr. Shen's craftsmanship, it's much better than my baking." ”

The rest of the chicken wings, Jane Kang sprinkled with chili powder, and ate deliciously.

Warlene took a bite of the chicken wings, it was really delicious, she simply let Jian Kang go, and pestered Shen Xian to teach herself barbecue skills.

Jian Fu took the roasted beef and chicken wings on a plate and handed them to Zeng Yiyi, who was angry: "Eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”

Zeng Yiyi wanted to say very much, I was tired of eating your food every day, but seeing the excitement of other people's eating, she felt very faceless when she looked at it, so she had to reluctantly take the plate, and the food was full of taste.

Shen Xian didn't eat much meat, she basically ate vegetables, and Warlene followed her and also learned to eat roasted vegetables.

Zeng Yiyi saw that the other two girls were eating roasted vegetables, she was greedy, and she wanted to know what roasted vegetables tasted like, but she couldn't pull her face and ask Shen Xian and Warlene to ask for it, and she couldn't see it at all, so she didn't want to stuff it in her mouth.

"Oh, here you go. Li Lei took a few skewers of roasted enoki mushrooms on a plate and handed them to Zeng Yiyi.

"I don't want you to be kind. Zeng Yiyi refused without thinking about it.

After saying that, she regretted it, Jian Kang and Jian Fu were both meat-loving, and they didn't think about roasting vegetables to eat at all, she didn't want Li Lei's, she really didn't have to eat them.

In front of so many people, she couldn't open her mouth to ask Jian Fu to roast vegetables for her, otherwise it would seem that she was too impatient.

wanted Jian Kang to roast for her to eat, obviously impossible, Jian Kang didn't take advantage of her stubble at all.

"Really, don't want to?" Li Lei withdrew his plate, picked up the roasted enoki mushroom and began to eat it.

He has been very restrained in his diet since he was a child, he eats a limited amount of meat every day, and insists on exercising every day, so he will always maintain a good figure, even if he comes out today for fun, he will not indulge himself.

"Hey, I want spinach. Zeng Yiyi really couldn't resist the temptation and muttered to Li Lei.

Li Lei didn't want to go as Zeng Yiyi's wish so easily: "Who are you talking to, is there someone named Hey here?"

Shen Xian shook her head with a smile, and handed over a plate of roasted vegetables: "Zeng Yiyi, I have all the vegetables here, you can take whatever you want to eat, everyone comes out to play, it's a pleasure, don't be too restrained." ”

It's a pleasure to come out to play with the picture, Zeng Yiyi doesn't know how to respect people, Shen Xian doesn't like Zeng Yiyi at all, but Shen Xian doesn't want Zeng Yiyi and Li Lei to make trouble and spoil everyone's fun, other times Li Lei and Zeng Yiyi don't care how she makes trouble, but not today.

"Thank you. Zeng Yiyi explained very awkwardly, took a bunch of spinach and two bunches of chicken leg mushrooms, hesitated for a moment, and took another bunch of lion's mane mushrooms and a bunch of leeks.

Warlene handed Zeng Yiyi a few pieces of lettuce: "You use this to wrap the barbecue and eat it, it has a different taste, give it a try." ”

She didn't hate Zeng Yiyi in the first place, but when she saw Zeng Yiyi like an angry bag, she felt that Zeng Yiyi was quite pitiful.

"Hey, this method is good," Li Lei was also interested, took a string from the barbecue that Zeng Yiyi had not finished, wrapped the barbecue with lettuce and ate it, and sighed while eating, "It's delicious, it's so delicious." ”

Shen Xian made a gesture to hit Li Lei: "It's delicious, it's delicious, put away your dirty words." ”

Li Lei followed Han Ting, and he didn't know if he had learned the medical skills, but Han Ting's mouth full of dirty words and mantras, Li Lei learned it well.

"Hey, hey, get an order!" Li Lei smiled at Shen Xian, but his originally handsome appearance brought a little ruffian, which made Shen Xian cry and laugh.

After eating a skewer, Li Lei went to Zeng Yiyi's plate to get barbecue, Zeng Yiyi was not happy, picked up the plate and left: "It's not that you don't know how to barbecue, why are you robbing me." ”

Li Lei didn't chase after him, he continued to roast vegetables and eat, and from time to time he glanced at Zeng Yiyi, who was clumsily wrapped in lettuce and eaten barbecue, and by the way, he said a few words that made Zeng Yiyi frying, and he made himself laugh, and he played with himself in a veritable way.

After eating the meat and vegetables, the six of them were also full, Jian Kang was used to eating rice, although he was already full, but he just felt that it was not true that he didn't eat rice, so he had no choice but to roast a few creamy small steamed buns to fill the number, saying that he must bring rice next time he barbecued.

It was still early in the morning, and the three boys started playing cards.

Warlene and Shen Xian were not interested in playing cards, but they were not idle, and Shen Xian instructed Warlene to practice calligraphy, using branches instead of brushes to draw on the ground.

Warlene was tired of writing, so Shen Xian made a sand table out of broken soil, using tree branches as a pen, and drew stick figures of various postures of each person during the barbecue on the sand table, which was vividly drawn, and saw that Wallen screamed again and again, attracting the three boys playing cards to run over from time to time.

"I'm coming, I'm going to show my hand. Li Lei was also interested, took the branch in Shen Xian's hand, and drew it on the sand table.

What he painted was the posture of the three girls during the barbecue: Shen Xian's beauty, Zeng Yiyi's embarrassment, and Warlene's embarrassment.

Warring was angry, snatched the branch in Li Lei's hand, and wanted to draw Li Lei's ugly appearance, but she poked it on the sand table and didn't draw a decent person, which caused the three boys to laugh, and Warlene herself was amused.

After laughing for a while, Shen Xian continued to instruct Wo Lin to practice calligraphy, and the three boys continued to play cards.

And Zeng Yiyi, who is usually babbling, is like a different person at this time, staying silently alone, not speaking, and not watching any side.

But no one cared what she was thinking, as long as she didn't interfere with others, others wished she was quiet a little longer.
