Rong Xuan gently shook the moonlight cup in his hand, and the golden liquid in the cup also shook, causing ripples.
At this time, the door behind him opened, and Meng Jingxian walked in. "Master, the bottles of wine you made have been delivered to Miss Mo'er."
"Hmm." Rong Xuan replied softly, then waved his hand, signaling Meng Jingxian to step back...... After Meng Jingxian went out, Rong Xuan raised his wine glass, drank the golden liquid in the cup in one gulp, and muttered to himself, "Mo'er, are you thinking about me at the moment?" ”
"Lady, lady......" Qu Tianlin saw that Mo'er had just drunk two glasses of wine in a row, and he kept staring at the glass in a daze, he thought that Mo'er was drunk, so he not only called twice.
"What's wrong with my husband?" Mo'er came back to her senses and asked him.
Qu Tianlin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Mo'er's clear expression and not seem to be drunk: "My husband thought you were drunk." ”
Mo'er shook her head and couldn't help laughing: "With that amount of alcohol, I'm not going to get drunk yet." ”
While they were talking, Uncle Sadiq came up with a plate as big as a tray, and at a glance, there were forty or fifty skewers on the plate.
The skewers are golden, shiny, and the aroma of the barbecue makes people swallow.
"A few guest officers, please enjoy slowly." Uncle Sadiq spoke awkwardly to the crowd in a thick exotic accent, and then went back to roasting meat.
Everyone took a skewer, and Mo'er also grabbed a skewer, and the roasted mutton was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and she couldn't taste the slightest smell of mutton at all, but took a bite of it, and the rich cumin flavor and chili pepper flavor and meat aroma were perfect, stimulating the taste buds.
"It's hot, it's hot...... It's so spicy, so spicy......" Spring couldn't stand such a stimulating taste for a while, so she hurriedly picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Whew." She breathed a sigh of relief, and her red lips unconsciously escaped the words "so cool".
But before these words fell, Chunyi noticed that she had lost her manners, and hurriedly confessed to Mo'er and Qu Tianlin.
Mo'er smiled and said that it was okay, but she was still a little restrained when she saw the spring, and said to her with a smile: "When you come out, you are originally relaxed, so you don't have to be so restrained...... This barbecue doesn't smell at all, how do you do it? In the last sentence, Mo'er asked Li Guiping.
Mo'er is also good at cooking, she doesn't believe it, but cumin and chili powder can suppress the smell of mutton, and she really asked the right question!
Thanks to Li Guiping's relationship with Uncle Sadiq on weekdays, if he is an outsider, he may not be able to answer. "Mrs. Hui, this makes the mutton completely devoid of any smell, and it is on the wooden skewers of this mutton skewer!" Li Guiping said a little mysteriously.
The secret to making the lamb not smell at all is on the wooden skewer?!
The eating habits of the Great Xia Kingdom have always been based on steaming, boiling and stir-frying, and the way of handling ingredients like this is also because of the lack of cooking utensils in the wilderness when you are in a hurry.
So when everyone saw the wooden stick at first, they didn't think anything was wrong.
When Li Guiping talks about it now, it arouses everyone's interest.
"This skewer is made from shaved red willow branches." Li Guiping solved the mystery.
Roasting lamb is an extremely time-consuming task, and in addition to picking charcoal, the selection of wooden skewers is also a top priority.
During the barbecue process, the peeled red willow branches will secrete a little thick red willow juice, which can not only dissipate the smell of the mutton, but also penetrate the unique fragrance of the red willow into the mutton.
Mo'er not only likes to cook food, but also likes to taste food, and this method of roasting lamb with red willow branches has given her a lot of knowledge.
"Guiping, does Uncle Sadiq want any other food here besides skewers?"
Fifty skewers of mutton skewers sound like a lot, but in fact, there are only a few pieces of meat on it, not to mention Qu Tianlin and Qingfeng, two martial arts practitioners, as well as Li Pinggui...... Although Mo'er could also see that Li Pinggui was afraid that they would not have enough to eat, it was only when she called that he dared to take a bunch to eat, Chunyi also ate a bunch, Xia Ying ate three bunches, Mo'er herself ate three bunches, and the rest Qu Tianlin and Qingfeng ate half of each, but Mo'er could see that everyone didn't eat their hearts, so they asked.
Li Pinggui patted his head at this time, "Madam, it's a small negligence, Uncle Sadiq also has grilled buns, grilled bags, grilled fish, and ...... one by one."
"This outsider even bakes buns!" Xia Ying can be regarded as an insight today.
"Then let's have twenty grilled buns, five grilled fish, and one grilled bag." Mo'er commanded, and suddenly thought of something, and she said again: "By the way, let Uncle Sadiq bring a bottle of such wine." ”
When all the food was ready, the barbecue stall was left with Mo'er and the table of guests next to them.
Qu Tianlin saw that Sadiq was idle now, took the initiative to walk to him, and began to talk: "Uncle Sadiq, I heard Guiping say that you came from the desert north of Saiwai?!" ”
In fact, from Li Guiping's attitude towards Qu Tianlin and his party, Uncle Sadiq knew that the very handsome man in front of him must have a very noble identity.
So when Qu Tianlin took the initiative to come over to talk to him, Uncle Sadiq was very polite: "Yes, this distinguished guest, I did come from the desert far away. ”
"Can you tell me about your hometown?" Qu Tianlin asked with a pretended to be interested.
At this moment, Sadiq's deep eyes were a little more obscure, but his mouth answered: "The desert is full of sand and wind-blown sand, the climate is hot, and the water source is scarce...... Unlike here, it is prosperous and rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As the words fell, Uncle Sadiq's eyes were filled with envy.
Although Qu Tianlin grew up in a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, he grew up under the knees of Mrs. Tai since he was a child, and he heard her old man talk about things outside the Saiwai.
After a turn of thought, Qu Tianlin pretended to be surprised: "I once heard a traveler who has been to Saiwai say that there is an oasis in the desert, how can it be so difficult?" ”
Hearing Qu Tianlin mention the oasis, Uncle Sadiq not only smiled: "Distinguished guest, I think that friend of yours has only reached the edge of the desert at most, and has not really entered the desert!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Qu Tianlin immediately asked.
Sadiq's eyes were full of attachment, he looked to the west, and slowly spoke: "Hundreds of thousands of miles of desert, boundless, the sea of sand is like the sea, flowing with the wind, sometimes walking for seven days and seven nights without seeing a single tree, not a single animal, except for sand or sand. If you are unfortunate enough to get lost in the desert, you can only watch as you are severely dehydrated, but you cannot save yourself. Some slaughtered even the most precious camels in order to survive......"
