Chapter 107: Bonfire
"Okay, okay." Zhang Dazhi responded again and again. It's been a long time since the people in the village have been so lively.
"Xi'er, Ah Lu, Feng Yang, senior brother, you go find some ingredients." Jian Ning was on the rise, turned around and said to the four of them with a smile.
"Ingredients? Where are you going to find this? What other ingredients do you want? Liu Leshan didn't seem to have gotten used to Jian Ning's sudden change, and he asked in embarrassment.
"Isn't it easy? Xi'er and Ah Lu, you go to the villagers' houses to see if there are any domestic animals or fish that have not been poisoned before, and if there are any, you can spend money to buy them from the villagers. ”
"Senior brother and Feng Yang, while it is still dark, go to the creek in the village and take a look, and catch as many fish as you can. By the way, I picked up some more firewood and came back. ”
Jian Ning made a detailed plan one by one. Seeing the four of them turn around, they suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly said to Xi'er and them: "There is another thing, pay more attention to the seasoning, bring all the seasonings, the more types, the better." ”
"Got it, Miss." Xi'er waved her hand and replied with a smile.
"Doctor Yu, Doctor Li, it's not early now, even if you leave immediately, you must not be able to enter the city in time, so it's better to stay overnight." Jian Ning asked with a smile.
"Then I can only disturb the villagers for one more night." Doctor Yu said embarrassedly.
Jian Ning's heart was also full of anticipation at the moment, she didn't know if the villagers here had such activities, but now whether there was or not, it couldn't stop her thoughts.
And the best place for Zhang Dazhi's house is the open space in front of the house, which is like tailor-made for this bonfire party.
Jian Ning found some firewood in the courtyard of Zhang Dazhi's house and built a high pyre in the middle of the clearing. After it was lit, there was a huge fire, and the atmosphere came out at once.
At this moment, some villagers came in twos and threes. Jian Ning smiled and said to the people who came over, "Let's all find a stone to sit down on first!" I'll be waiting for everyone to come in a moment. Here we go. ”
These villagers looked at Jian Ning and were busy all the time, and after hearing Jian Ning's words, look at me. I look at you, but no one has made a move first.
Jian Ning felt that those villagers were watching her all the time. I couldn't help but get nervous in my heart. After all, no matter who it is, it will be nervous to be looked at by so many pairs of eyes, especially the kind of curious eyes without any malice.
"Come and sit down, I'm embarrassed to look at me like this." Seeing that just saying it didn't seem to have any effect, Jian Ning pulled over a sister-in-law and sat down with her.
The rest of the people listened to Jian Ning's words that seemed to be joking, and they also smiled and found a stone to sit down.
"Everyone sat around the fire. Don't go too far, or you won't be able to eat for a while. Jian Ning also knew that these villagers didn't let go, and they all sat together, so she reminded with a smile.
As soon as Jian Ning said this, some active and extroverted villagers spontaneously moved and sat around the fire as much as possible.
Doctor Yu and Doctor Li also sat down under Jian Ning's greeting. They are all over half a hundred years old, but it is the first time to do this kind of thing, and they suddenly feel a little overwhelmed and very restrained.
Jian Ning didn't say anything. As long as everyone has fun for a while, the natural atmosphere is good. Now, just saying it on your own won't make much difference.
At this time. Liu Leshan and Xiahou Yan came back first. Xiahou Yan was carrying a lot of fish in his hands, and he must have a lot of grilled fish to eat in a while. And Liu Leshan was also holding a large bundle of firewood and was walking with a smile.
Jian Ning and Liu Leshan simply handled the fish and removed the scales and internal organs. Although, in some places, grilled fish is grilled directly, Jian Ning still can't accept the kind of thing that doesn't scrape fish scales and doesn't dig up internal organs.
About half an hour later, Ruan Zijin and Xi'er also returned. They were followed by a few villagers. The villagers were pushing a cart, and on the cart was the "trophies" of Xi'er and Zijin.
"Miss. You wouldn't expect it, but we've found a sheep. And chickens. Fish" Xi'er excitedly ran to Jian Ning to show off.
"Hehe, my Xi'er is getting more and more powerful now." Jian Ning quipped with a smile.
"Not really. Miss, you don't know, after we told the situation, these villagers didn't want our money, and helped us kill and wash the sheep and chickens. So it came a little late. Xi'er pointed to the villagers behind her and the sheep that had been disposed of.
"These big brothers, why didn't you take the money? This sheep is also worth a lot of silver, so how can we take your sheep and chickens for nothing? Jian Ning listened, crossed Xi'er, walked in front of the villagers, and said sincerely.
"Miss Jane, although we didn't know you before, we all remember your help to Ganling Village today. There is really nothing to thank Miss Jane, and now that Miss Jane is celebrating for us, how can she let Miss Jane spend money! One of the villagers took the lead and said to Miss Jane sincerely.
When Jian Ning heard his words, her heart was mixed. These villagers must not know that they will have this catastrophe, it is completely because of their own reasons, and it is natural for them to help them. But now, they all treat her as a benefactor, which really makes her feel ashamed.
"That's it, this big brother, you must not accept the silver. When I return, I will send for you to compensate you for the sheep and chickens you have used today. After thinking for a long time, Jian Ning spoke.
She knew that life in Ganling Village was not very rich, and a sheep was a big expense for them.
"Miss Jane, I really don't need it"
"This matter is so decided, and besides, it won't give me face." Jian Ning was afraid that the villagers would refuse again, so she could only make a final decision, and it was not allowed to be discussed.
The materials are all ready, and the villagers are almost there. Jian Ning began to ask Xi'er and Ruan Zijin to hand out the clean wooden sticks they had prepared just now to the villagers.
Then he took the lead and took a fish, skewered it on a wooden stick, and then put it on a rack to roast.
He smiled and said, "I guess everyone knows how to grill fish!" ”
Jian Ning thought about the ancient people, often caught fish and roasted it, in order to satisfy hunger, although the roast did not have any taste, but it should still be.
"Yes, a little." Several people nodded in unison. Later, the skewered fish were also placed on the shelf.
Looking at the sheep, Jian Ning suddenly thought of the delicacy of roast mutton. Then he got up and said to the big guy: "Which of you will help me, let's build a bigger shelf and roast this sheep, and when the time comes, everyone can eat roast mutton." ”
After Jian Ning finished speaking, Liu Leshan and Feng Yang stood up, and several villagers from Ganling Village stood up, including Zhang Anfu and Zhang Dazhi.
Jian Ning rummaged through the pile of condiments that Xi'er and the others had found. Cut the green onion into sections, cut the ginger into slices, add peppercorns, spices, minced cumin, etc. into the belly of the sheep, and rub the body of the sheep with refined salt to taste. Finally, make a few cuts on the inside of the leg of lamb and apply seasoning and salt to taste.
After quickly doing this qiē, several people worked together to successfully put the whole sheep on the fire, but fortunately this sheep is not too big, otherwise it is really difficult to deal with it like this.
After Jian Ning put the sheep on the rack, she clapped her hands and smeared a layer of honey on the surface of the sheep. This honey is pure honey, which Jian Ning found in Zhang Dazhi's house, presumably Zhang Dazhi obtained it in the hive.
"I've heard that Miss Jane's cooking skills are superb, and today I am really lucky to be able to taste what Miss Jane made by herself!" At this time, one of the villagers suddenly spoke up and praised.
After this sound, naturally many people also praised it, but more of it was expectation.
Even if they can go to the food garden for a meal, they can only be in the lobby, and they can't afford to pay the price of the private room. Naturally, he couldn't eat the dishes made by Jian Ning himself.
"People praise me too much, I can't afford it." Jian Ning replied with a smile.
"Now that the lamb is roasting, why don't you come to the show to add to the fun!" In order to be able to turn the topic away from herself, Jian Ning said.
However, the bonfire party was originally used for performances and eating and drinking, but now the show has just started in advance.
"The show?" The villagers were suddenly in trouble. They are in the fields all day, where will there be any program?
"You don't have to think about how hard it is, as long as you can use it to help you have fun. Most of the people in the village here are seen every day, so you don't have to be embarrassed. Jian Ning encouraged everyone, "As long as you want to bring a little happiness to everyone, you can come out." ”
Once again, villagers, you look at me, and I look at you. It's not that they're embarrassed this time, it's that they really can't think of anything to perform.
"I'll do it, I'll put on a show for everyone." At this time, Zhang Dazhi suddenly stood up and said.
"Okay, what are you doing?" The villagers immediately clapped their hands in encouragement, and some people smiled and asked about the show.
"I have loved to hunt birds since I was a child, and I have learned a lot of bird calls, but whatever is common, as long as you say it, I can learn it for you." Dazhi said proudly.
"Then come a sparrow first," Dazhi finished speaking, and a villager spoke.
"And magpies"
"Cuckoo's"
Dazhi listened to the voices of the villagers, learning the calls of the birds one by one, which was really vivid.
Jian Ning had to sigh, she couldn't imagine that there were such strange people in Ganling Village. This is definitely a technology in modern times!
Zhang Dazhi's unique skill is also known to many people in Ganling Village, but Zhang Dazhi rarely performs on weekdays. Because in the eyes of some people, this is not learning well. (To be continued) RO
