After breakfast, Li Yi took Tang Xue and his father and set off in a big red mule cart.

Since she didn't make a cool skin today, the third sister was left at home.

On the way, Li Shankui and Li Yi talked about the gift money for yesterday's wedding, and they received a total of 982 yuan!

Among them, Mr. Wang, Wang Anmin, Wang Anguo, Li Gang, Liang Yukui and others all took 50 yuan.

And Liu Jingshan and the friends of the state-run hotel, as well as the leaders of the sugar factory, all took 10 yuan.

The two brothers-in-law and the third sister Li Na each have 50 yuan each, and the villagers have 1 to 5 yuan per family.

Basically, there are children in the family who follow Li Yi to earn money, all of them are 5 yuan, and those who don't have them range from one or two yuan.

All in all, the gift money received yesterday was more than double what was expected.

To be honest, Li Yi was also a little surprised.

Before the wedding, he thought it would be good to receive a gift of 500 yuan, but he didn't expect there to be so much.

But think about it, Mr. Wang and a few sisters are 400 yuan smaller, and they contributed about half of the gift money.

With this thousand dollars, most of the expenses of this wedding can be regarded as making up for it.

When he came to the state-run hotel, Liu Jingshan was somewhat surprised when he saw Li Yi.

"Hahaha, I thought your kid wouldn't be here today!"

Li Yi also smiled and said, "How can it, if you don't come, it's not just a matter of faith!"

"Okay, hurry up and weigh it, I'll have to go to the back grassland later!" Liu Jingshan said.

"What are you doing in the back meadow?"

The so-called post-grassland is the local name for pastoral areas, although they are all in a county, but it is not close to the county seat, more than 200 kilometers.

Moreover, the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, and there are no roads at all in many places, even if you drive, you can't come back without six or seven hours of going back and forth.

Liu Jingshan smiled bitterly and said: "No way, yesterday the county party committee office called and said that a big leader in the province was going to come down to inspect today and asked us to do a good job in reception!"

"The leaders of the province are really sloppy when they come up to inspect, are you planning to go to the grassland to make a whole cow or a whole sheep?" Li Yi said.

"Sheep, cattle are too expensive, and it's not easy to transport them back!"

"Aren't local sheep good?"

"The county party committee office has specially explained that the big leader is of Mongolian nationality, and the local mutton is no better than the sheep in the pastoral area, and the leader eats it as soon as he eats it!" Liu Jingshan said.

Subsequently, Liu Jingshan sighed and said: "This kind of thing is too troublesome, there is no reward for the reception, once the leader is unhappy, we are the first person responsible, my predecessor Lao Zhou was killed because of this matter!"

Li Yi knew that this was the national situation, so he could only comfort: "The big leaders of the people have big hearts, and they won't worry about small people like us, just do your best!"

"That's the only way it can be, so I'm not thinking about getting some authentic grass sheep for the leaders, I hope they can be satisfied!"

Li Yi thought for a while, and then said, "Brother Liu, in fact, you don't have to be like this!"

"What do you mean?"

"You think, since that leader is a Mongolian, he hasn't eaten any kind of mutton, so even if you really get the sheep in the grassland, he may not be satisfied!"

"That's right, but..."

Li Yi smiled and said: "In fact, it doesn't matter what sheep you eat, what matters is how you eat it, as long as the way you eat it is fresh and delicious, the rest doesn't matter!"

Liu Jingshan thought of Li Yina's unpredictable methods, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Li Yi, you have to help my brother!"

"Okay, let's go to the kitchen after weighing!"

"You don't have to worry about the heavy things, let Xiao Li do it, let's go to the kitchen now!"

Then, without waiting for Li Yi to open his mouth to refute, Liu Jingshan pulled him into the kitchen, leaving only Li Shankui and Tang Xue with bewildered faces.

After coming to the kitchen, Li Yi immediately asked, "Brother Liu, do you know how many leaders are there this time?"

"I don't know, I didn't say it!"

Li Yi frowned and said, "I don't know how many people are eating, so it's not easy to do!"

"Why don't I ask?"

"Don't ask, if you ask the county party committee, we don't have the ability, even ask about this kind of thing, the impact is not good!"

"What then?"

"Prepare for both!"

Then Li Yi explained: "I'll teach you two different food methods later, the first is special barbecue, and the second is a new type of hot pot!"

"When there are few people, you can eat special barbecue, and when there are many people, you can eat new hot pot!"

Subsequently, Li Yi asked the people from the state-run restaurant to bring beef and mutton and cut some pork.

Immediately afterwards, onions, ginger, garlic and various condiments were brought over and the meat began to marinate.

At the same time, Li Yi asked them to freeze some beef and mutton in the refrigerator, and especially froze a few teapots of water into it.

To be honest, Li Yi was a little lucky, fortunately it was a state-run hotel, otherwise he would not have seen this refrigerator in ordinary places.

Don't look at this thing, it only has a usable volume of more than 150 liters, but it needs more than 800 yuan per unit, which is equivalent to two years of wages for an ordinary worker.

Moreover, money may not be able to buy it, and you also need to buy a qualification ticket.

While marinating the beef and mutton, he also had people make a simple grill, which was actually a charcoal brazier with a cleaned iron plate on top.

Finally, the dipping sauce, dry ingredient and sauce are mixed out.

At this time, the meat was almost marinated, and Li Yi demonstrated it for Liu Jingshan and others on the spot.

I saw that he first brushed a few brushes of sesame oil on the iron plate, and then put a piece of fat marinated pork belly on the iron plate.

In an instant, the sound of "squeak" hot meat sounded on the iron plate, and the rich aroma of meat instantly filled the entire kitchen.

In less than two minutes, the pork belly was cooked.

Li Yi took a piece of roasted meat with chopsticks, then dipped it in some secret sauce and put it in his mouth.

Well, it's that smell!

Subsequently, he immediately asked Liu Jingshan and the others to hurry up and taste it!

Everyone learned from Li Yi and moved their chopsticks one after another.

When the rich aroma of the meat, accompanied by the aroma of the secret sauce, fully stimulates the taste buds, everyone is stunned.

It's not that they haven't eaten barbecue, but the taste is completely different.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yi roasted mutton and beef for them, and even roasted a few vegetables, each of which attracted Liu Jingshan and others to marvel.

After eating the special barbecue, Li Yi immediately asked Liu Jingshan: "This taste is okay, is it qualified to receive the big leader?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you will definitely do it!" Liu Jingshan said excitedly.

"Okay, yes, but you want the leader to praise you, this barbecue tool has to be neatly and exquisite!"

Then Li Yi found paper and a pen, and drew the stove and baking tray for him to barbecue in the later Stick Country, and asked him to quickly find someone to make a few.

After tasting the special barbecue, Liu Jingshan also became interested in another new type of hot pot by Li Yi.

As Li Yi thought about before, although the barbecue thing is delicious, it is really not suitable for people to eat more.

On the one hand, the roasting is slow, and on the other hand, the ingredients are single and there are few types at the moment!

"Brother Li Yi, the new hot pot you said..."

Li Yi smiled and said, "You should have eaten the lamb, but have you ever eaten the boiled sheep?"

"Iced lamb?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, it's almost noon now, my daughter-in-law and my father are still waiting outside, I'll borrow your kitchen and ingredients today, and give my father and my daughter-in-law a good meal, okay?" Li Yi said.

"No comment!"

"That's good!"

At that moment, Li Yi began to prepare various spices and put them in a large bowl for later use.

Later, he asked people to find a small pot and put it on the charcoal stove that he had just used to grill the meat.

Then he took out the beef and mutton that was frozen in the refrigerator and cut it into pieces, strips, or slices.

Then, in the stunned eyes of everyone, he put a few lumps of frozen and hard ice lumps into the pot, and then put various spices and nearly two catties of mutton pieces into it...

While cooking the meat, Li Yi began to prepare the dipping sauce again.

After the dipping sauce is ready, the meat is almost cooked.

Subsequently, Li Yi immediately beckoned Liu Jingshan, Daddy, Tang Xue and others to the table and started...
