Chapter 26: Barbecue

There are only two sections of the fence that need to be built, and the sum is only seven or eight meters, and when Xing'er shouted for everyone to eat, the pigsty was already half encircled, although the length of the wooden stick on the wall was very untidy, but Chen Xu kicked it a few times with his feet and found that it was very strong, and it was completely impossible for a few little piglets to get out.

As for the big wild boar that escaped, Chen Xu felt that he could also transform the pigsty to see if he could also be locked in, and if he succeeded, he could become a professional pig farmer in the village, and he would not worry about eating meat all year round.

After dinner, the helpers all went home one after another.

It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, two thousand years later, many people had not left work, and it was already summer, and the days were getting longer, and it was still two or three hours before it was completely dark.

So Chen Xu pulled the cow stone and began to continue to strengthen the pigsty, in addition to the completion of the fence, but also built a row of walls in the pigsty to divide the pigsty into two, leaving a small pig in and out of the small hole on the wall, and also built a small shed for the piglet against the courtyard wall, covered with thatched mat and hay, so that it can also shelter from the rain when it rains.

After this division, it is easy to feed, not to mention, it is possible to put large wild boars in it.

The two of them were busy until it was dark, the pig shed and the wall were almost finished, and the rest of the finishing work was slowly repaired in the next few days.

"I'm so hungry!" Niu Dashi was shirtless and wore a pair of pants full of holes, shouting and preparing to go home.

For dinner, I ate millet porridge and big bone wild vegetables, although I seemed to be very full, but in fact I was not hungry at all, especially doing this kind of physical work, and both of them were fourteen or fifteen years old.

"I'll get some barbecue and I'll go back when I'm full!" Chen Xu stopped Niu Dashi, washed his hands, and then went into the room and brought out a piece of lean meat weighing about two or three catties.

Although lean meat is delicious, it doesn't seem to be very popular in this era, no one wants to ask for meat yesterday, and no one wants to buy it in the market, so the family can only eat it themselves.

"Xing'er, go get me a big bowl out!" Yang Xu greeted, and Xing'er entered the house with a fart, and quickly took out a large clay bowl with a gap.

"Brother, what else do you need?" Xing'er looked at Chen Xu with wide eyes.

"Green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, help me get some and wash them." Chen Xu instructed to put the meat on the stone slab and cut it into thin slices with a dagger.

"The barbecue is cut so small, it's not enough to stuff the teeth!" Niu Dashi pouted disdainfully and said.

Chen Xu rolled his eyes angrily and didn't explain, but ordered: "Go outside and cut a bamboo and come in and split it into a two-foot-long thin stick!" ”

"Oh!" In order to be able to eat barbecue, Niu Dashi did not refute, went out with a firewood knife, quickly cut back a big bamboo, and then squatted on the edge of the yard to split into small sticks one by one.

Chen Xu had already cut the meat, and Xing'er had already washed and peeled all the green onions, ginger and garlic and put them in a clay bowl.

No soy sauce, no cumin, no chili noodles, I don't know if it's delicious to bake it like this?

Chen Xu was a little helpless to mash these ingredients in a bowl with a wooden pestle, and then slightly modified the stone stove for cooking to make it look like a long barbecue grill.

Chen Jiang sat by the fire and mended his clothes in the faint light of the fire and the moonlight in the sky, and saw his son, daughter and future son-in-law busy making barbecue meat in the yard, with a gentle smile and satisfaction on their faces.

Although the husband is gone, the son has grown up, and the family has begun to slowly come out of the predicament.

Fishing, cutting trees, selling meat, buying rice, repairing houses, and treating Erxi's illness, in just a few days, life suddenly changed dramatically.

"The bamboo stick is too thick, and then it is thinner, and the front should be sharpened, and the burrs on it should be scraped, otherwise it will prick the mouth......"

Chen Xu took a small stick handed over by Niu Dashi to point out the shortcomings, Niu Dashi continued to revise without saying a word, and Chen Xu put the lean meat marinated in the seasoning made of green onions, ginger and garlic on a few bamboo sticks and placed it on the stove and began to roast.

Xing'er squatted next to her with a surprised face, staring at the barbecue on the stove without blinking, watching her brother skillfully flip the bamboo skewers.

The barbecue curls slightly under the charcoal fire, slowly turning brown, and the fat inside drips out and jumps on the surface.

"Poof~~"

As a drop of grease fell on the charcoal fire, a strong aroma of barbecue was emitted in the yard in an instant, and the smell of meat was mixed with the special fragrance of wild green onions, ginger and garlic, not only Chen Xu himself couldn't help but stir his Adam's apple, Niu Dashi directly dropped the firewood knife and rushed over, and his two eyes flashed like a wolf in the dark night, staring at the roast meat that was still turning in Chen Xu's hand.

"Goo Dong~" Xing'er couldn't help her mouth full of saliva, wiped her mouth and shouted loudly: "Brother, I want to eat, I want to eat!" ”

"Okay, right away!" Chen Xu saw that the heat was indeed almost six or seven minutes cooked, so he took out a little salt from the pottery bowl and sprinkled it on the barbecue meat and handed it to the little girl.

"Come on, you can eat it, be careful of scalding!"

The little girl's soul was actually completely conquered by the aroma of barbecue, and she took the bamboo skewer excitedly and quickly took a bite, and suddenly felt that a delicacy that she had never eaten before completely overwhelmed her.

"Hmm...... It's delicious...... "The little girl opened her little mouth while exhaling hard, revealing her sharp little teeth and biting, like a hungry little tiger, she came to her senses after eating a few bites, handed the bamboo skewer to Chen Jiang's mouth and said, "Mother, you also eat a piece, it's so delicious!" ”

Although Chen Jiang is an adult, he was actually a little irresistible to the temptation of the aroma of barbecue, so he also ate a piece.

"Brother Xu, what about me? Give me a string! ”

Niu Dashi was already going crazy, constantly swallowing saliva and yelling.

Chen Xu continued to flip the barbecue slowly, then sprinkled salt finely, and then picked up a ...... Stuff yourself in your mouth.

At the moment of the entrance of "hiss~", a strong fragrance rushed into the brain with an incomparably familiar feeling, and the memories of the later generations instantly crossed two thousand years, and Chen Xu felt in a trance that he had returned to the next generation sitting next to the street barbecue stall in the night.

But in an instant, this feeling disappeared, and he stared blankly at the bamboo skewer in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, if only there were a few more strings of rabbit kidneys and a can of beer.

"Brother Xu, can you give me a taste?" Niu Dashi was already anxious to stick a claw out of his throat.

The momentary trance made Chen Xu lose too much mood, sprinkled a little salt on the barbecue in his hand and handed two Niu Dashi, and handed the rest to Xing'er and Chen Jiang's, and then continued to thread meat on the bamboo sticks.

"Woo...... Delicious and delicious...... It's so delicious! Niu Dashi is like a wild boar, chewing and humming constantly.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Although Xing'er was young, she instantly noticed that her brother was a little depressed after eating a bite of barbecue.

"Oh, no, no!" Chen Xu hurriedly shook his head, and then cheered up the barbecue, and as the aroma of the barbecue slowly emanated again, he also slowly left his memories of the future life behind.
