Chapter 22: Barbecue

When everyone rushed to the backyard, they saw that the debris in the backyard had been cleared and turned into an open space. In the middle of the www.biquge.info clearing, there is a huge brazier, which does not look crowded even if all of them are gathered in a circle. Inside the brazier, there are some wooden blocks that have been burning, and there are other wooden blocks next to them, ready to add fire at any time. There are low wooden stakes around it, so you can sit straight down. Above the brazier is an iron frame, on which more than a dozen strings of pork belly have been placed. Zheng Jiayi and the proprietress were still busy next to them, preparing to put some other dishes on the side. Under the heat of the charcoal fire, the meat skewers sizzle and constantly emit a deadly meat aroma.

He Qingping ran over, picked up a bunch of meat and started gnawing it, only to touch the skin of his mouth and put it down again.

"Wow, it's hot!"

"It's only been a long time since I put it on, and it's not ripe yet, I don't know why you're in a hurry!" Zheng Jiayi complained.

"Hey, Zheng Jiayi, when did you come to the backyard?" He Qingping asked suspiciously.

"I don't know if there is no one at the table, it looks like you are very attentive to eating, you must have eaten a lot, then you don't have to eat this barbecue anymore!"

"There are so many people at a big table, where can I notice." He Qingping muttered quietly.

Zheng Jiayi was angry, and walked over with a kick, He Qingping was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat the barbecue, so he didn't dare to dodge, and endured it vigorously.

"I told you a long time ago, little sister, man, none of them are good! They treat you as a treasure when they need you, and they don't hesitate to leave you behind when they don't. The proprietress said fanning the flames next to her.

"Boss, what do you say!" Zheng Jiayi ran away with a red face.

Looking at Zheng Jiayi's embarrassed and angry appearance, the proprietress sighed: "It's good to be young! ”

"Hey, I didn't even sigh old man, what do you have to sigh about." Zhao Qianshan accosted.

"I don't talk to the elderly, I'm afraid I'll get old." The proprietress pointed to the barbecue again and said, "These meats are marinated in the afternoon, and they can be eaten directly after they are roasted." You have to endure it yourself, if you don't cook it, you can eat it, and I don't care if you eat it. ”

After saying that, the proprietress continued to prepare other snacks.

The crowd quickly sat down, each took a skewer of barbecue, and roasted it over the fire. Although it was a winter night, they did not feel cold when they sat in front of the charcoal fire. One by one, they touched their stomachs, kept their saliva, and looked at the kebabs in their hands, and no one spoke.

Slowly, some of the grease falls and drips onto the charcoal fire, causing sparks to fly and flames to string together. The crackling sound of the charcoal fire, the sizzle of barbecue and the cries of crickets in the mountains are mixed together, making everyone's head restless and calm.

He Qingping took care of his barbecue intently, flipping it every few seconds, and the fat fell drop by drop like wrung out water, without stopping. But he knew that it was still undercooked, and the pork belly was cut into large pieces, the size of a fist, and he didn't know if the proprietress deliberately made a whole person. However, everyone did not complain, but already felt it in advance, and there was a sense of pleasure in drinking and eating meat.

Suddenly, He Qingping felt that his shoulder was tapped, and he turned around to see Jiang He standing behind him, crying uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying?" He Qingping asked puzzled.

"I'm smoky!" Jiang He explained.

He Qingping looked at it, and sure enough, the position where Jiang He was sitting just now has now become the hardest hit area of smoke. He hurriedly moved to the side and let Jiang He sit down.

"How long does this have to be baked?" Chubby on the side asked impatiently.

In the past few days of special training, he is the one who suffers the most, as the grandson of the coach, he is often taken out for everyone to demonstrate, and Zhao Qianshan intends to let him lose weight, so he eats less. The effect is also obvious, in the past five days, I am afraid he has really lost more than ten pounds. However, based on He Qingping's understanding of him, it is estimated that after going back, it will rebound in two days. Coupled with the upcoming New Year, it is a rotten life of big fish and big meat, I am afraid that I will be even fatter in the coming year.

No, Xiaopang couldn't help it now, he saw a large piece of barbecue, and his saliva couldn't stop at all.

"You are not allowed to eat, or you will not be allowed to play!" Zhao Qianshan issued a fasting order.

"I just want to eat it!" Xiaopang also fought this time for barbecue.

"That's just one piece." Zhao Qianshan compromised.

Xiaopang snorted coldly and didn't continue to fight, which was a tacit acquiescence.

After roasting for a while, Jiang He burst into tears again. He Qingping turned his head and saw that the smoke had changed direction again, blowing straight on the face of the river.

"No, I'll have to change my position." Jiang He ran to the opposite side again, next to Xiao Zhengtai Liu Jiehui.

As soon as the river was gone, the smoke stopped attacking this corner and returned to normal.

After a while, Zheng Jiayi, who was busy, also came over, saying that the proprietress had cooked a mash egg in the kitchen, and if she wanted to eat it, she would go in and serve it herself. Just as Jiang He left, there was a vacant seat left next to He Qingping, so she sat down there directly.

"You big men are just sitting here, and you don't know how to sing a song, play a game, or anything."

"You come first!" He Qingping proposed.

"I'll come, I'll come, but it's okay, everyone has a share, don't cheat! It started with me, followed by He Qingping, and then passed by turn. ”

After saying the rules, Zheng Jiayi cleared her throat and then sang a "Shepherd Song".

The sunrise of Songshan Pass and the morning bell startle the birds

The brook in the forest is babbling

Green grass on the slopes

Wild fruity mountain flowers

The dog jumps and the sheep runs

Raise the whip and shake it gently

The song is full of mountains, and the mountains are full of mountains

Mo Dao's daughter is delicate and flawless, and she has kit kat

Winter goes to spring for 16 years

Huanghua is young

The waist is strong and courageous

Always practice martial arts and work hard

Ploughing the fields and grazing and beating jackals

Wind and rain shoulder to shoulder

Zheng Jiayi's voice was already crisp and refined, but now singing under this night sky adds a bit of ethereal. It's like a clear spring that flows directly into everyone's hearts. After singing the song, everyone didn't speak, just looked at Zheng Jiayi quietly, and seemed to be still immersed in the artistic conception described in the lyrics, until Zhao Qianshan's voice sounded.

"Chubby, your meat is all roasted!"

"Ahh Fat screamed, breaking the quiet atmosphere, as if it was the meat on his body.

Zhao Qianshan looked over one by one, almost everyone's meat was roasted, but when he saw He Qingping's roasted meat, his eyes lit up.

"This piece of barbecue is fat but not greasy, evenly heated, green and yellow in appearance, full of color and flavor, it is simply the best in the barbecue." As he spoke, Zhao Qianshan looked at He Qingping greedily: "Boy, if you give this piece of barbecue to the old man, the old man will teach you what he has learned all his life." ”

He Qingping looked at Zhao Qianshan with disdain, then stood over his head and handed the barbecue to Zheng Jiayi on the side.

"Oh, this one is baked for you!"

Zheng Jiayi froze for a while, only looking at He Qingping in a daze, with a pair of big watery eyes and a red little face, which looked particularly bright and moving against the backdrop of the firelight.

He Qingping's heart moved, and he was about to speak, but he heard that the river opposite suddenly burst out.

", does this smoke have a grudge against me, and let people not eat meat well!" (To be continued.) )
