Chapter 58: Skewers

"No, my mother is still alive, she must be alive, she is waiting for Qing'er to save her!" Qing'er's expression was firm, and her little hands were clenched into fists.

"Qing'er, my aunt will definitely help you find your mother... After returning home, my uncle asked Luo Shi to use the relationship of the Guogong Mansion to help you find it..."After so long, Gu Bei has developed a deep hatred for the Turks for the first time, this group of bastards, how many families have been ruined and their wives separated!

"Really?" Qing'er's big eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Gu Bei's hand tightly in excitement.

"Really, my uncle is going to help you find a way." Gu Bei looked at Qing'er deeply, and made up his mind that he must help her, no matter how much it costs, he must help her fulfill her wish. Even if her mother may not be alive, she must get a result.

"Thank you, uncle, if you can help Qing'er find her mother, Qing'er... Be willing to be a cow and a horse to repay your kindness. Qing'er's tears rippled, and she couldn't cry.

"Silly girl, uncle doesn't want anything, as long as you are happy every day, this is the best reward." Gu Bei touched her head lovingly, looked at the sky, and said, "Look at you girl, you are crying and laughing tonight, I guess you're hungry!" Tell your uncle what you want to eat, and let your uncle serve you once tonight. ”

"Really? Anything goes? Qing'er looked at him, her eyes lit up.

"Hmmm! Uncle Ben is a talker. Gu Bei said with a smile.

"The last time I saw Miss eat egg fried rice, it felt so fragrant, Qing'er wanted to eat her uncle's fried egg fried rice." Qing'er winked at him playfully.

"Brother-in-law, I want it too." Cheng Xiaoyi, who was hiding outside the door, rushed in and said.

Egg fried rice? Gu Bei is a little difficult, where to find leftovers at this point? Gu Bei wanted to refuse, but glanced at the hopeful eyes of the two of them, and couldn't say the words of refusal, alas, that's it, who called Uncle Ben an honest little Langjun, and he spoke a word.

You can't slap yourself in the face when you say it.

Gu Bei rummaged in the kitchen with an oil lamp, leaving no leftovers, in his words, clean, cleaner than his face.

Gu Bei looked at the half fan of pork and some mutton hanging on the beam, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it, since he couldn't make egg fried rice, let's have a roast mutton.

Then, a strange sound sounded in the kitchen: "Chop chop, chop..."

Cheng Xiaoyi and Qing'er in the room listened to their curiosity, the two looked at each other with big black eyes, and coincidentally touched the kitchen, the two gently lifted the hem of the long skirt with their little hands to avoid tripping, and walked briskly to the kitchen door wall, tilting their little heads to look inside.

Not long after, Xiao Ran heard the sound of "chopping chop" in the courtyard next door, thinking that something was happening, rushed over, saw the two girls on the door wall, just wanted to ask, glanced at the kitchen, stunned...

But seeing Gu Beizheng standing in front of the cutting board, holding the knife in one hand and pressing the mutton on the cutting board with the other, the kitchen knife was like a light butterfly, flying up and down quickly, and the blade of the knife cut the mutton on the cutting board, and it made a light sound of "chop, chop, chop", which was dazzlingly fast.

With the flying of the kitchen knife, the lamb was cut off piece by piece.

The two women at the door looked at each other, they were simply breathtaking, so handsome!

It's just that a noble boy in a brocade robe is in the kitchen at night, wielding a kitchen knife to cut mutton... In the simple thinking of the two women, they feel that the sense of disobedience in this picture is too strong.

Xiao Ran walked into the kitchen and stammered, "Uncle, you... Are you hungry? I went and called the cook..."

Go down to the kitchen, that's something that a man must not do, let alone an uncle, let the eldest lady know about this, it is estimated that he...

As soon as Gu Bei turned around, he saw that it was Xiao Ran, and kept saying in his hand: "Old Xiao!" You came just in time, you go and help me cut the bamboo, the two chopsticks are the same length, thinner than the chopsticks, the finer the better, faster. ”

Xiao Ran was quite helpless and went to the courtyard to sharpen the bamboo sticks according to Gu Bei's request.

After finishing the order, he looked at the two girls outside the door and said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, Qing'er, wait a minute, Aunt Ben will make you something to eat." ”

The two girls smiled like flowers, walked into the kitchen, came to Gu Bei's side, and probed the cerebellum to see the mutton cut into slices on the cutting board, Cheng Xiaoyi asked curiously, "Isn't it mutton?" Who hasn't eaten yet? Brother-in-law, we're going to eat egg fried rice. ”

A faint aroma like an orchid musk deer, straight into Gu Bei's nose, almost smoked him to the point of dizziness, hurriedly calmed down, and said, "You really don't want to eat?" I'll give it to Qing'er later. ”

Cheng Xiaoyi stretched out the tip of her tender red tongue coquettishly: "Eat, it's just really delicious?" ”

Gu Bei said proudly: "It's absolutely delicious!"

Cheng Xiaoyi nodded: "Then I'll wait." ”

After a while, Gu Bei cut the mutton, picked up Xiao Ran's sharpened bamboo sticks, and nodded with satisfaction, this old Xiao is really neat and careful.

Gu Bei skewered the mutton slices on the bamboo skewers with his hands and feet, and the three of them did the same, and after a while, all the mutton was skewered.

Since there was no professional oven, poor Xiao Ran was worried about his uncle, so he came to wipe it, and was turned around by Gu Bei's command, moving stones to build a simple grill, and living.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Gu Bei folded up his robe, and happily began to perform, the two women next to him looked curiously at Gu Bei's busy hands, Xiao Ran not far away did not rest for a while, and was instructed by Gu Bei to continue to sharpen the bamboo stick, but the poor knife was a murderer, but now it is in Xiao Ran's hand to sharpen the bamboo stick, the knife in Xiao Ran's hand flew up and down, the speed was extremely fast, and in a short time, a bamboo stick was formed.

The curling green smoke dissipated in the night sky as it rose, dozens of mutton skewers, skillfully smeared with oil, the meat skewers made a sizzling sound, holding a puff fan in his hand and blowing the wind, the lamb skewers seemed simple, but in fact it was not so easy, the heat, the amount of oil and the timing were all related to the taste of the meat skewers.

Standing next to the simple grill, Gu Bei was roasted in a hot sweat, but there was a satisfied smile on his face. Sprinkle with cumin powder and roast dry, but unfortunately there is no chili pepper, if you sprinkle some chili powder, the taste is even more beautiful.

Luckily, there is also a dogwood instead.

In fact, dogwood is not the main ingredient for the "spicy" flavor of this era, and people use ginger and mustard more. It's just that after Gu Bei tasted it, he felt that dogwood was closer to the taste of chili peppers.

Dogwood is also known as "Yue Pepper", "Compendium of Materia Medica" records, eating Dogwood "taste pungent and bitter, the native people pick in August, pound and filter to extract juice, stir into lime, the name is mugwort oil, also called spicy rice oil. The taste is spicy, and it is used in food"

Cheng Xiaoyi and Qing'er dragged their chins, watching Gu Bei busy with interest, turning meat skewers, oiling, applying dogwood juice, and fanning the wind. Most literati are secretive about the kitchen, even the poor jingle showman will not set foot in the kitchen, but he does it like a fish in water, and he is not ashamed at all. The two women couldn't understand the man in front of them.

Dozens of meat skewers were grilled, Gu Bei held them in his hands, put them in the prepared tray, and said to the three of them: "Taste it, Uncle Ben's skewer skills are very powerful, others can't eat it even if they think of it, Lao Xiao, you can also taste it." ”

A different smell of meat wafted into the nose, smelling the smell The three of them had a great appetite. Cheng Xiaoyi reached out and picked one up, and when she saw that the bamboo sticks were a little black, Xiumei frowned, took the meat skewers and looked at them, a little hesitant.

Qing'er next to her picked up one, took a small bite of the cherry and chewed it gently, squinting slightly and enjoying it.

Cheng Xiaoyi saw that Qing'er had already started eating, and she couldn't care so much when she was a little hungry, she took a bite of a small piece, the meat was very fragrant and crispy, but it was not greasy, and it had some different tastes.

Gu Bei saw that Xiao Ran was embarrassed to do it, he knew it in his heart, smiled, stuffed a few sticks and put them in his hand, Xiao Ran hesitated, looked up and saw Gu Bei's gaze signaling him to eat, took a bite as if he were dead, chewed a few times, and took a big bite of it, and praised while eating: "Uncle is really amazing, it turns out that mutton can still be eaten like this, this roast is so fragrant, if you drink a few more sips of wine, it will be better." After saying that, the speed is getting faster and faster.
