In the midst of the hustle and bustle, time flickered, and it was sunset again.

Two helpers from the primary school cafeteria set up a barbecue grill early on a clean river beach, and put a few grass mats around it, and there were four clay pots next to the barbecue grill, which were all cut and marinated tiger meat and heart, kidney and stomach intestines worn with bamboo skewers, and salt, mustard and peppercorn powder for barbecue were also prepared.

Chen Xu went home to wash up, changed into clean and simple clothes, and gently led the water to the river beach.

And Wang Qian, Bai Zhen and the four guards were already waiting on the river beach, and they were watching the two helpers busy making charcoal fires around the barbecue stall with great interest, and their faces were more expectant than surprised.

"Xu is late, please forgive me!" Chen Xu greeted with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, Lidian is hard and busy, it's not like I'm idle, in order to eat the barbecue you said, I'm already a little impatient!" Wang Jian put down the small bamboo tube with seasoning in his hand and said with a smile.

"I can't wait, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to eat such fierce and domineering tiger meat, please sit down, I hope my barbecue won't disappoint you!"

"Looking forward to it, Li Dian, please~" Wang Jian lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down imposingly, Bai Zhen and the four guards also smiled and bowed their hands and knelt down on the grass mat.

Chen Xu took the water and sat down in front of the barbecue grill gently, then grabbed a handful of meat skewers from several clay pots and put them on the barbecue grill, and then instructed the helper to gently fan the fire with a fan.

Because it is autumn, the weather has been fine recently.

The millet trees on both sides of the Xiaoqing River have begun to turn yellow, reflecting the golden light in the reflection of the setting sun.

The evening breeze is light, the river is sparkling, the mountains and trees and the reeds and cattails on both sides of the river reflect each other, and there are cooking smoke rising everywhere far and near, and the laughter of children and the barking of dogs are mixed in, the small Qinghe town is very peaceful and quiet, full of an extremely primitive and peaceful atmosphere.

Under the red charcoal fire, the skewers on the barbecue grill began to overflow with grease, falling drop by drop in the charcoal fire, accompanied by puffs of green smoke, the sound of popping exuded an enticing aroma, and the smell of green onions, ginger, garlic mustard and barbecued meat filled the entire river beach.

Chen Xu skillfully turned the skewers, and from time to time used a small brush to brush some lard and sauce on it.

Because there was no edible vegetable oil in this era, it had to be replaced by lard.

The sauce is also specially made by a farmer who can make sauce in the town under the guidance of Chen Xu, steamed with soybeans, wheat and bran and then placed in the sauce vat to ferment, just like the soy sauce made in later generations, placed in the sun for a month, plus some green onions, ginger, garlic mustard and salt to make a kind of sauce paste, although it is not as good as the soy sauce of later generations, but it already has a very fresh taste, and it can be used as a very good condiment.

And as the strong aroma of the barbecue continued to emanate, not only Bai Zhen and the four guards kept shaking their throats, but several pairs of eyes looked directly at Chen Xu's turning skewers, and even Wang Qian's face was moved, and his snow-white beard and eyebrows were shaking.

This smell is so tempting that they can't bear it at all, and it seems that the cravings that have accumulated in their bodies for many years are about to crawl out.

And Chen Xu himself was already a little uncontrollable, the smell was indeed fragrant, and the fragrance made his mouth full of clear saliva constantly coming out of the corners of his mouth.

He had never seen tiger meat, let alone eaten it, and he hadn't eaten a good meal for a whole day, and he was always busy.

"Chen Lang, it's almost ripe!" Shui sat quietly beside him, handing over the small bamboo tube with the material in his hand, although his face was indifferent, his eyes were full of infinite expectation.

Although Liezi's disciples are pure-hearted and have few desires, Shui Qingrou has followed his senior brothers to practice and study in the mountains for seven or eight years, which is basically coarse tea and light rice, so he has no special hobby for food, and two meals a day is just a necessity of life, but since she met Chen Xu, she found that she had begun to become very uncontrollable, especially for the delicious food made by Chen Xu.

Any simple ingredients, after Chen Xu's rectification, will always become a kind of delicacy that is difficult to let go, even the simplest steamed buns, she can eat two or three, and Chen Xu no matter how busy and tired she is every day, she will also take the time to make some delicious soup porridge for her to nourish her body, and all kinds of delicious snacks are always there, small fish fried in batter, spicy river shrimp fried in dry sauce, dried meat marinated for a few days and roasted, and honey preserved fruits made of various wild fruits collected in the mountains, plus snacks such as yam and poria cakes, She hardly had much spare mouth every day, and in just a few days when she came to Qinghe Town, she felt that she had gained a lot of weight.

Although she was also afraid that she would be fat and ugly, which made Chen Xu dislike, she couldn't help but want to eat it when she saw something delicious.

Although Chen Xu also likes to eat barbecue, she reminded Shui Qingrou to eat less, otherwise it will get hot, and eating too much is not good for her health, so she looked at the grilled skewers in front of her, smelling the strong fragrance, and her heart was full of entanglement.

"Almost, seven or eight medium-cooked, just right!"

Chen Xu selected two skewers of good tiger meat, took the bamboo tube filled with salt and mustard and shook it lightly a few times, and then a stronger fragrance emanated.

"Goodong~"

A circle of people swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost at the same time, and several pairs of eyes fell on Chen Xu's hands.

"Gently, these two strings don't put peppercorns, you taste them first!" Chen Xu smiled and handed the two skewers of roasted tiger meat to Shui Qingrou.

"Thank you Chen Lang~" Shui gently took it quickly, and then couldn't wait to open his small mouth to reveal his neat snow-white teeth, gently bite a small piece, chew it slowly, and swallow it slowly.

Regarding Chen Xu's shameless practice of giving skewers to his own woman first, Wang Jian had no other way but to despise him, although he was depressed in his heart, he could only wait with his saliva in his heart.

"How does it taste?" Chen Xu looked at the water softly with anticipation.

"Delicious!" Shui Qingsoft's cheeks were red, and she didn't dare to look down at Wang Jian and a few guards who were eyeing her.

"That's good!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, although he was very confident in his more and more refined barbecue skills, but he was still full of apprehension about this new dish like a tiger, what if the tiger meat was particularly sour? Because tigers are also felines, legend has it that cat meat is sour.

Since their women say it's delicious, it seems that it tastes good.

So then Chen Xu picked up a few small bamboo tubes of seasonings and shook them on the skewers, and then turned them over a few times, and then handed them to Wang Jian and Bai Zhen respectively, and divided two skewers for the two helpers, and then grabbed a string of tiger meat and a string of tiger tendons and chewed it.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious!"

"The barbecue made by Lidian can be called a fairy delicacy, and it has never been tasted between heaven and earth......"

Wang Jian and the others had already been burned by the lust seduced by the fragrance of barbecue, and they couldn't wait to stuff the skewers into their mouths, their eyes wide and chewing on the oil in their mouths, and at the same time, they didn't forget to slap Chen Xu's ass.

"Haha, you are too praised, in order to thank you for helping me get rid of the big harm in Qinghe Town, I have enough barbecue pipes today, and I will eat hard with my belly open......"

Chen Xu laughed heartily, took a bite of tiger meat, and suddenly felt a violent king aura rising from the top of his head, as if he had condensed the momentum of a colorful tiger.

Next, there is no need to describe it carefully, a group of people who have fought on the battlefield to kill and eat is called a whirlwind, Wang Jian and others skewers are simply violent, only to see a skewer pass by the mouths of several people, and then only a bamboo skewer remains, accompanied by a crackling sound, in just a few minutes, everyone in front of the bamboo skewers thrown horizontally, and the barbecue grill skewers are decreasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon there are only a few skewers left.

"The tiger kidney is good, Chen Lidian will have a few more strings with the old man!" Wang Jian didn't even have time to wipe his mouth, and his beard and chest were covered with oil stains.

"Tiger intestines are spicy and strong, please trouble Chen Lidian to ...... with me again" Bai Zhen's mouth chewed juice splashed.

"Tiger tendons have chewy heads......"

"Tiger meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and fragrant......"

At the urging of a group of people, Chen Xu ate three or five skewers and tasted all parts of the tiger, but before he had time to carry out the second round, he found that the last few skewers had also been snatched up by a group of people, so he had to take out a large number of skewers from the clay pot again and put them on the barbecue grill, and told the helpers to fan the fire quickly.

"Gentle, tiger meat is dry, your body is not well, don't eat more, I'll roast you a few strings of yam and lotus root!" Chen Xu took out a few skewers of thinly sliced yam and lotus root slices from two clay pots filled with water, and roasted them on the barbecue grill.

Shui nodded softly with red cheeks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then picked up the wine jug and wine glass placed next to him, poured a glass of blood-red wine and handed it to Wang Jian with both hands, and his face became very serious: "The old gentleman is strong in martial arts, courageous, and dares to blade tigers and wolves, when he is not a very person, please get closer to Chen Lang in the future, toast on behalf of Chen Lang gently, please drink this cup!" ”

Looking at the wine handed over by a pair of Qianqianyu hands, Wang Jian ate the skewers in his hand in one bite, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then his face became slightly solemn, and after hesitating slightly, he reached out and took the wine glass and laughed and said: "Okay, little lady, don't worry, Wang ate the barbecue carefully cooked by Lidian today, and drank your wine, this fate has been concluded, he will definitely get along with each other in the future!" ”

After Wang Jian finished speaking, he covered his face with his sleeve, poured a large glass of wine into his mouth with a sip, and then put down the glass and wiped his mouth and exhaled refreshment.

"A few people who walked with the old gentleman to kill tigers and wolves are also Great Qin warriors, and the little woman also respects you with a glass of wine on behalf of Chen Lang, please drink it full!"

The water was soft, and five glasses of wine were poured and handed to Bai Zhen and the four guards.

After a few people took the wine glass, they secretly glanced at Wang Jian one by one, and after getting his slight nod of approval, they all hid their faces and drank the wine dry, and then put down the wine glass and arched it: "Thank you, little lady!" ”

"Chen Lang, I will also toast you gently!" Shui gently handed a glass of wine to Chen Xu, Chen Xu took it and drank it all in one gulp, and then instructed the helper to fill everyone with wine, then raised the wine glass and said: "Everyone, today's barbecue and wine are enough, don't get drunk and go home!" Cheers! ”

"Haha, okay, don't get drunk and go home! Dry! Wang Jian raised his wine glass and laughed heroically, and Bai Zhen and the four guards were also extremely excited.
