Chapter 164: Barbecue Party (Part II)
"Ergouzi, didn't you also shout that you were hungry earlier, why aren't you hungry now?" After Xia Wencai left, Zhang Tieniu asked Ergouzi suspiciously, he was very resentful of this guy's quick answer, so that he didn't eat cakes!
"Stupid, have you forgotten what you're here for today?" Ergouzi asked with a disdainful look at Zhang Tieniu.
"The village chief slaughtered the sheep and asked us to try it, what else can we do?" Zhang Tieniu didn't know why.
"Since, I asked you to eat sheep, what kind of pastries do you eat, how can you eat sheep when you are full of pastries, the village chief's family is all good things, if you can see it when the time comes, you won't regret dying!" The second dog educated Zhang Tieniu with a smug face.
After Zhang Tieniu heard this, he stretched out his thumb in admiration, and said in his heart, no wonder people are ministers, we are deputies, this IQ has been crushed!
With the passage of time, the guests called by Xia Wencai also came one after another, the fat man, Zhang Degui's family, Sun Zhengfeng's family, as well as Wang Xuebin's family, Chen Yong's family.
Xia Wencai was thinking about whether Li Xiaomei and the others were not available, when they saw them appear with a group of children!
"I thought you didn't have time to come, I'll be waiting for you for a while!" Xia Wencai smiled and said hello to Li Xiaomei, Liu Chunlan, Zhang Jie, Wang Ping and others.
"How can you not come, I heard that there is an opportunity to fight local tyrants, of course we have to seize it! No, we're all here in a group. Zhang Jie also laughed and made a joke, and pointed to a group of children next to her. Xia Wencai just smiled after hearing this, these children were asked to be brought by him on the phone, because these are the orphans brought by Li Xiaomei and others, but now they are no different from ordinary children except for the occasional timidity in their eyes, now they are all wearing school uniforms issued by the school, they look neat and spirited, and they are no longer like they were dressed in tatters when they first met! "Let's go, don't stand at the door, let's go play inside!" After Xia Wencai finished speaking, he led the group of people inside.
From time to time, the exclamations of these children can be heard along the way, because there are many animals that they only see in books. They all appeared in the ranch one by one, and they didn't have the conditions to go to the zoo before, so they couldn't blink when they saw it now!
"Niuniu, Coco. Come here, you two little ones! ”
After calling the two children, Xia Wencai asked them to take a group of curious brothers and sisters to play with the animals, Niuniu and Coco responded in one bite, and they wished that there would be more children to play with them!
This group of orphans couldn't let go at first, Niu Niu Coco called the animals, and they didn't dare to touch them. However, seeing the two little sisters playing with the animals, their hearts itched again, and after a while, they finally played with the animals, and laughter came from time to time.
"Thank you!" Li Xiaomei thanked Xia Wencai seriously.
Xia Wencai was slightly stunned and waved her hand with a smile, she knew that Li Xiaomei's thanks were not only to let the children play happily on his ranch now, but also to thank him for letting the children come to the warm family of the mountain village, so that they had hope for the future.
Seeing that the children were playing hard, a few people let them go, and Xia Wencai took a few teachers to an empty grass not far from his hut. There are now more than 20 people gathered here, which can be described as very lively, most of them are sitting on the ground around a few barbecue grills of different sizes that Xia Wencai bought in the afternoon, chatting, drinking tea, drinking melon seeds, watching animals, and having fun.
Seeing that the sky was already slightly dark, and the people were almost there, Xia Wencai beckoned everyone to gather around, dug a small circle of isolation ditch in the middle of the grass to prevent the fire, and lit a large bonfire in the middle of the small circle.
Seeing this, Wang Xuebin and others also sandwiched the charcoal fire that had been prepared a long time ago on a large and five small barbecue grill, and the barbecue party began!
"Alright. Okay, everyone, first of all, welcome to this barbecue, I won't say much more. Everyone can eat and drink to their heart's content, and those empty barbecue grills can be done by everyone who is interested, and the sauces are on the small table next to them. After Xia Wencai finished speaking, he got some applause and walked to the largest barbecue grill to get ready, he was going to roast the whole sheep
Seeing the bonfire rising, Lin Xiaowan, Bai Qiuyu and the children who were playing all ran over. With a curious look on his face, he looked at the people who were already on the stage and ready to show off their skills.
The fat man and Sun Zhengfeng were the first to play unceremoniously, and each smiled and took their favorite food and began to move, saying that they were eating sheep, of course, it was impossible to just eat mutton, and some chickens and ducks were killed in the pasture, and then there were many vegetarian dishes or something ready.
Seeing everyone having a good time, Xia Youwei and Zhao Qinglian, Shen Qin and Xia He were also pulled by the two children in the family to occupy a barbecue position, and the two little children said that they also had to roast themselves, and called the adults to come, but they were too short and needed someone to help!
Of course, Lin Xiaowan and Bai Qiuyu were reluctant to give up Xia Wencai's roasted whole sheep, but after looking at the sheep with a length of more than one meter after picking the skin and removing the dirt, Lin Xiaowan stuck out her tongue and said, "Why is it so big, why don't you chop it!"
Bai Qiuyu next to him also nodded thoughtfully, such a big sheep, Xia Wencai is not a professional cook, and he is worried that he will not be able to deal with it.
"Am I a halfway person, just a sheep, can you stump me, just wait to eat a delicious roasted whole sheep, don't worry about it!" Xia Wencai said while already skewering the whole sheep to an iron rod, and then put the iron rod on the grill and said, after a while of tricking on the side, he docked the iron rod with a rocker arm, which saved a lot of effort, and only needed to shake the rocker arm when turning over and baking. The two girls kept baking after seeing Xia Wencai do it, and after a while, they got bored and wandered around to see other people's masterpieces.
"Niu Niu, what are you baking, is it eggplant?" Lin Xiaowan asked, pointing to a string of black things on the grill.
"Aunt Xiaowan is so stupid, she doesn't even know the potatoes!" Niu Niu turned her head and despised Lin Xiaowan for a moment, and then continued to bake its potatoes seriously!
Lin Xiaowan was so shocked that she had grown so big, she had really never seen a black potato, and Zhao Qinglian next to her also showed helpless expressions!
"Xiaowan, what do you think this is?" Bai Qiuyu suddenly took a piece of meat, ran to Lin Xiaowan with an excited face and asked.
"Mutton, why are you making all the fuss!" Lin Xiaowan only glanced at it and said angrily.
"You're taking a closer look!" Bai Qiuyu brought the meat pestle closer again.
After Lin Xiaowan took it, she saw that it was a piece of mutton, but her eyes lit up immediately, and she muttered: "The color is bright red and pure, and the marble is so clear!"
"yes, although I don't know much about meat, I still know how to look at the lines, and I heard that the more lines, the better."
After listening to Bai Qiuyu, Lin Xiaowan replied: "What you said is pretty much the same, but I heard my dad say that meat identification is very troublesome, and the detection methods of each part are different, and it also depends on what bones, appearance fat or something, anyway, it is very complicated, but this meat is indeed good meat, I am sure, my family used to often send special products, but the texture is not as good as this, on the contrary, the product is very good, I just don't know if this meat is delicious!"
"Is it delicious or not, why don't you try it first?" After Bai Qiuyu finished speaking, he ran to Niuniu's side and got busy.
As soon as Bai Qiuyu brushed the oil, Niuniu was very enthusiastic and wanted to help her with the ingredients, so scared that Bai Qiuyu hurriedly stopped her, how could she start talking about pepper or something as soon as she put it on the shelf
Li Xiaomei saw that everyone was having a good time, and the children he brought also had an eager expression, so she simply took the children to occupy a grill and began to barbecue with a smile, anyway, this simple, not stupid person can be grilled, but whether it is delicious or not is a matter of words!
Although Ergouzi usually looks simple, but what he does is not silly at all, he and Zhang Tieniu also occupy a grill, the two of them found a big plate, and after baking it, it was sent to the crowd sitting and chatting next to him, which was very considerate.
Niu Niu was obviously hot for three minutes, and when she tasted her masterpiece twice, she ran away decisively and ran to the campfire to play with Coco and other children.
When everyone was eating their own works, Xia Wencai was depressed, and he lit a cigarette and kept rolling and bubbling with oil.
"Wow! Come and try my craft! Lin Xiaowan suddenly came over, took a bunch of mutton and stuffed it into Xia Wencai's mouth.
Of course, Xia Wencai would not brush off her beauty, and took a bite after throwing away the cigarette butt.
"Hmmm! Tender and juicy, fat but not greasy, the taste is first-class, by the way, Xiaowan, is the price of salt down again! Xia Wencai took a bite and asked.
"I don't know? How do I know what the price of salt is! Lin Xiaowan said very honestly.
"Poof! Stupid Xiaowan, he said the lamb you made was too salty! Bai Qiuyu saw that Lin Xiaowan didn't react, and couldn't laugh.
After a reminder, Lin Xiaowan immediately understood what Xia Wencai meant, and said angrily: "Hmph, if you don't eat it, give it to me, I'll feed Xiong Da Xiong Er!"
"Eat! Who said I don't eat it, although it's a little salty, but the taste is really good, come on I am optimistic about you! After Xia Wencai finished speaking, he wiped out a bunch of mutton in three or two bites.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaowan turned her anger into joy and let Xia Wencai live a dog!
"Well, could it be that my culinary talent has been activated, why didn't I find out that I actually had such a good talent for barbecue before!" Bai Qiuyu also took a string of his own works and ate them deliciously.
"Sister Yu, you think too much, it's just that my family's meat is good!" Xia Wencai said with a sincere face.
Bai Qiuyu was so angry by Xia Wencai's honest expression that she just wanted to open her mouth to refute, but thinking of the fact that none of the people who ate barbecue just now didn't seem to say that it tasted bad, even the things baked by the two big black men Ergouzi and Zhang Tieniu were quite popular, except for Niu Niu and Xiao Wan who put seasonings like this!
