"Fourteen!" Randy's impatient voice echoed around the main house, "Everything is ready! It's waiting for you now, without you, things can't be turned around, what are you doing now?"

Randy rushed to the porch, and then saw Brandon, Adam, Tony, and the others standing in a semi-arc, surrounding Lu Liqun in the center.

This human wall blocked Randy's vision, and he couldn't see what Lu Li was looking at, but Tony turned his head and made a "shhh" gesture, which made Randy stunned, and the words were stuck in his throat like this, but the excitement would not fall easily, and he still couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

This time, the three of them turned their heads at the same time, "shhh

"Don't shut up, it's not a delicate job...... Lu Li said with a smile, the end of the note dragged the old elder, and the work in hand was completed, "This is a little bit of random groping, the simplest manual work." I think it's probably the level of the fifth grade. Lu Li picked up the tool he had just done, flipped it over and over again, "Hmm...... Maybe fourth grade. ”

Lu Li must admit that he is the type who holds a pen, not the type who makes tools by hand. In China, book knowledge is the most important, but in Western countries, hands-on ability is always one of the most important education. Therefore, after seeing his finished product, Lu Li immediately made up his mind: in the future, this kind of work should be handed over to Brandon, who is better at it, he has no confidence in himself.

"This ......" Brandon looked at the tool in Lu Li's hand, "What is this?"

"Is it really that bad?" Lu Li's eyes widened and he raised his head innocently, "This is a barbecue grill, a simple homemade barbecue grill. You know, I want to have bamboo skewers that can skewer raw meat or vegetables on the fire, and on top of that, I need a shelf that flips over......"

Lu Li made the kind of barbecue net, one on the other two pieces of barbed wire, you can sandwich things in the center, and then put them on the fire to roast. Because the barbecue in the ranch is relatively rough, not a simple charcoal grill, but directly on the fire, it becomes extremely difficult to adjust the temperature, and he needs more different tools to avoid injury, and also to avoid burning the food.

Such a tool needs to be purchased and searched on an ad hoc basis, which is simply not found in New Braunfels. So, Lu Li thought of making it himself. It's quite simple to think about, isn't it just two pieces of barbed wire, linked, that's all. But when it comes to implementation, it's not that easy.

The size of the barbed wire is irregular, and the force is uneven, and the food in the middle may fall down when it is grilled; the connection points of the barbed wire are not firm, and it will fall apart if you are not careful; and most importantly, the position of the handle is not accurate, and the whole barbecue net is not very stable, shaky, and it looks like it will fall apart at any time.

Looking at everyone's gaze, Lu Li became more and more unconfident, and before he could finish his words, he saw Brandon silently pick up the work on the ground and sit down cross-legged. There are no words, but the actions are clear enough.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, then leave this work to Brandon." ”

"You're still in charge of cooking, cooking! You're a good cook. Tony quickly affirmed and said positively, this sentence successfully made Cole and Randy echo it.

However, this did not make Lu Li feel comforted, but felt more and more embarrassed, "Brandon, is this really not usable?" Lu Li raised the tool and said with an urgent expression. He also thought that after coming to the ranch for so long, he had become a little expert in life. But the reality is cruel, which makes Lu Li a little frustrated.

Brandon raised his head, looked at Lu Li seriously, paused for a few seconds, and then said simply, "No." ”

Lu Li tilted his head in disdain, and said dejectedly, "If you can't use it, forget it." Then don't use it well, everyone don't eat well, what barbecue to eat, just drink the northwest wind. The nonchalant tone was marked by anger and resentment, as well as a depressed self-defeat.

A series of complaints made the four people in front of them stunned, and their muscles stiffened for a moment - they never seemed to see Lu Li angry, not even a moment of anger. Today's sudden venting, the four of them didn't know what to do, and looked at each other.

Both Randy and Tony looked at Brandon complainingly, as if to say: It's okay now, I've annoyed Chef, there's no more big meal, what now?

Brandon also looked confused and overwhelmed, should he apologize? Did he speak too directly just now? But he used to talk like this, was it a matter of tone? Was the tone of disdain too heavy? or was it the eyes, movements, expressions, what went wrong? So what was he going to do now?

"A bunch of honest guys. Lu Li sneered and laughed, proudly waving the crooked barbecue tool in his hand as if waving a rattle.

Looking at Lu Li's bright expression, Tony was the first to react, they were obviously fooled, Lu Li's prank was really long gone.

Thinking about it carefully, and looking at Lu Li again, Tony grabbed his hair speechlessly, and let out a depressed exclamation, "Oh!" Then he glanced at Lu Li again, and couldn't help beating his chest, thinking about it, he laughed speechlessly, "You really should be an actor, next year's Oscar is waiting for you." ”

Listening to Tony's exclamation, Brandon looked up, not knowing why, and then saw Cole and Randy smiling, confused, "Everything was Fourteen's performance just now?" Brandon reacted half a beat slower, but still asked in question.

Cole and Randy both nodded their heads in affirmation, and both of them couldn't laugh, especially Randy, who shook his head and was hilarious, so lively, while Tony gritted his teeth and shouted that he wanted to fight with Lu Li, Brandon retracted his gaze with certainty and looked at Lu Li, "It's okay." After saying that, he lowered his head again and began to get busy.

Such a sullen performance suddenly made the sense of accomplishment of the prank disappear, but Lu Li also knew that Brandon's personality was like this, and the blank expression in his eyes just now was extremely rare. Therefore, Lu Li didn't mind, and patted Brandon on the shoulder, "Then the rest of the work will be handed over to you, let's go over the barbecue first." ”

Standing up, Lu Li looked at Tony with angry eyes, and Shi Shiran said, "Didn't you say you were going to a barbecue? Or did you say that tonight's party was canceled?"

Tony's eyes were about to drop, and then Randy jumped over, hooked Tony's neck with his arm, pinned Tony tightly, and got out of the way, "Barbecue!

Lu Li pretended to be extremely satisfied and nodded, "Well, you can eat a little more in a while." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fourteen!" Randy said in a loud voice, provoking Tony to scold, "Flattery! ”

As a result, Cole said unhurriedly, "So you mean, you don't eat it?"

Tony choked directly, paused, and said louder, "Of course, not only to eat, but I also want to eat more!" yelled, and then Tony grabbed Randy's arm, and the two of them scuffled in the narrow space on the porch, and finally Brandon couldn't stand it and yelled, "If it's too idle, help me brush the horse tomorrow!"

Immediately, Randy and Tony let go of their hands and pretended that nothing had happened: they didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Li Yitong.

The world is finally quiet.

Lu Li turned his head, looked at the group of people who had quieted down, and said in a loud voice, "You either help Brandon, or come over to help with the barbecue, hurry up, dinner won't come out directly." Hulala, Randy and Tony rushed out, leaving only Cole and Brandon.

Cole said with a smile, "It seems that the two of us must hurry up, or we won't be able to make it to dinner." Then, Cole sat down next to him and began to move.

Making a barbecue net is not that easy, but it is not that difficult either. Cole and Brandon, it took less than twenty minutes for the four barbecue nets to be made, and they took the barbecue nets and came to the campfire, the red flames reflected the surrounding beech woods, the moonlight and the night cut out the ever-changing shadows under the treetops, and the cold and violent night wind actually deduced some grandeur and poetry.

Adam and Finley were in charge of skewering barbecue skewers next to them, Scarlett and Justin were placing the skewers on the idle barbecue grill next to them, Jessica was trotting all the way, holding seasoning in her hand, and when she saw Cole and Brandon, she immediately shouted happily, "The tools are finished, welcome, welcome!"

Jessica's footsteps ran straight to Lu Li, and under Lu Li's signal, she put it on the small table next to her, "What's next?

"It's up to me next. Lu Li's words made Jessica cast his gaze, and Cole and Brandon who came over couldn't help but stand by the campfire, watching the movements in Lu Li's hands-

He picked up the barbecue grill with his left hand, and the other fulcrum of the barbecue grill was set on the fire, and then used it as the center of the circle, and shifted the whole rack away from the fire, on which a row of food was neatly arranged, and he skillfully smeared a layer of olive oil on the food with his right hand, and then grabbed the spices next to it, and sprinkled it on the food, and all kinds of different powders floated down, reflected on the translucent flames, and fluttered in the surging heat, as if dancing.

One spice, another, another.

The air is filled with enchanting aromas, some unfamiliar, some irritating, and some tempting. After doing this series of movements, Lu Li's left hand turned again, and put the food back on the fire, the shining luster that made saliva secrete involuntarily.
