Chapter 37: Barbecue
The family split was so noisy that everyone in the village knew about it, how could Old Man Zhou be in the mood to eat, sighed heavily, and sat on the edge of the kang.
It was as if the harrow that had been ploughed had been plowed.
Sun looked at him for a while, "If you don't eat it, I'll keep it for the boss, so that they can make trouble that the boss will go out and haven't come back yet." ”
Thinking of Zhou Huaihai outside hungry, Sun's heart burst into tears.
Old Man Zhou turned his head to look at Sun, "In the future, you will also feel sorry for the second and third children." ”
Sun immediately took a sip, "Are they worth my distress?" How distressed they expect me to be unfilial to me! I haven't heard of it, my father and mother are in a hurry to please their children and grandchildren. ”
Old Man Zhou did not compensate Zhou Qing for the roll of red paper in the end.
There is always one sentence that Sun said is right, Zhou Yuan needs money to study, and these have to be kept by Zhou Yuan.
is separated, Zhou Yuan is studying, so he has to provide for them and the big house.
Ay!
Old Man Zhou was depressed.
Just now, he was angry and beat Sun, but now that he has calmed down, he doesn't think Sun is so wrong.
In the final analysis, it is all the fault of poverty, if it were not poor, there would be no such nonsense.
Zhou Qing didn't really expect the old couple to compensate her.
The red paper that had been destroyed by Sun's had serious wear and tear on the edges, so she could only cut the edges, and the roll of paper was all cut into small sizes.
Shen Li's words are written quickly, and Zhou Qing and Zhou Yao can't cut paper for Shen Li to write.
"I'll cut it, you go and rest." Shen Li finished writing the last piece of red paper in front of him, put down the pen and said to Zhou Qingdao.
"I'm not tired, you can rest for a while, and you will write it when Yao'er and I cut more."
Shen Li wanted to say more, but Zhou Huailin opened his mouth over there, "Is this chicken ripe?" ”
Zhou Ping immediately called Shen Li, "Senior brother, take a look, is this chicken ripe?" ”
Shen Li had to turn his head to look.
Cut the chicken with a knife, the meat inside has changed color, "It's cooked, it's ready to eat." ”
"Wow!"
Zhou Ping immediately jumped up, a little too excited, and almost fell headlong on the fire.
Zhou Huailin stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and Zhou Ping danced with his hands and feet to follow a magical dance step with a snakeskin posture.
"Eat chicken! Eat chicken! Eat chicken! ......”
Zhao took a large plate early in the morning and put it next to him, Shen Li used a knife to cut the two pheasants, and Zhou Ping rushed up to take two chicken thighs.
Zhou Huailin raised his hand and slapped him, "Put it down!" The elders haven't moved yet, what are you anxious about! ”
Zhou Ping held the chicken thigh aggrievedly, "I sent it to my master." ”
Zhou Huailin......
"Go ahead."
Zhou Ping turned his head and ran.
Zhou Huaishan, who was lying on the window and looking out, immediately sat upright and posed as if he was seriously copying books.
"Second uncle, eat chicken."
Zhou Ping ran and rushed in, and the chicken leg was pestled directly in front of Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Huaishan pretended to put down the pen slowly, "I'm fascinated by writing, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, this chicken is fine." ”
Taking the chicken thigh, Zhou Huaishan took a bite.
The smell of meat suddenly filled every corner of the mouth.
Charted on the outside and tender on the inside, this roast chicken is more fragrant than he had ever eaten when he was a marquis!
Zhou Ping was lying on the edge of the kang, looking at Zhou Huaishan with a pair of dark eyes, and eating another chicken thigh in his mouth, "Second uncle, it's delicious." ”
Zhou Huaishan nodded.
Zhou Ping said: "Second uncle, you said that we grilled the pork belly, is it delicious?" ”
Zhou Huaishan's mouth was suddenly full of saliva when he ate chicken,
Grilled pork belly~~~
Zhou Ping finished eating the chicken legs, and when he came out of the second room, he slipped a strip of pork belly in his hand, swaggered, and walked out of the steps that the six relatives did not recognize.
"The second uncle said that since everyone is happy to eat chicken, they simply roast this pork belly, and eat enough at one time."
Zhou Huaishan in the house......
I didn't say that!
Zhou Qing......
Grilled pork belly~~~
I miss it so much!
Zhou Yao, Zhou Huailin, Zhao Shi......
Qi Shushu raised his hand and patted it towards Zhou Ping, "Do you want to eat or did your second uncle say it!" ”
Zhou Qing hurriedly protected Zhou Ping and took the pork belly from him, "My father asked me to roast it, what are you doing with Pingzi." ”
She wants to eat too.
After speaking, he looked at Shen Li, "Is this easy to bake?" ”
Shen Li looked at the pork belly, of course it was grilled.
"It's not difficult, but I'll have to help me." Touching his chin, Shen Li said.
Zhou Huailin immediately said: "Let the young girl rest, I'll help you, it's weird to cut paper, I'll learn from you, and when you're not there, I'll bake them." ”
Shen Li......
Can you refuse?
In the end, Shen Li took Zhou Huailin into the kitchen, and Zhou Qing and the others talked around the fire and laughed and ate chicken.
I've never eaten so much meat during the Chinese New Year!
There was no barbecue grate at home, so Shen Li cut the pork belly into thin pieces, threaded it on a branch, and grilled it as a lamb skewer.
When the pork belly is on the fire, as soon as the flame licks the meat, the pork belly immediately makes a sizzling sound, the meat oil crackles and drips, and the fragrance is so strong that people salivate.
Zhou Huaishan was lying pitifully on the window, his eyes straight.
Zhou Qing pondered, and next time he went into the city, he looked to see if there were any barbecue grates for sale.
Earning money is just about being able to spend it.
If you don't have money, you have money in your hands, Zhou Qing doesn't want to wronged herself, not to mention that there is a gentleman in the house, if you don't give him meat and let him write, it might as well kill him.
The meat skewers were cooked and grilled, Zhou Ping grabbed a handful and ran towards the second room, and the others chatted around the bonfire while eating.
Shen Li sat next to Zhou Qing and handed her a handful of meat skewers.
"Now there are two mule carts at home, you cut more paper in a while, I will write it out, Ming'er third uncle has a car, I will accompany you with a car, we can sell more separately."
Zhou Qing ate meat skewers and looked up at the stars in the sky, which was dazzling and fascinating.
"Tomorrow, you tutor my father's homework, seeing that this year's children's exam is coming, if he doesn't pass this year, I'm afraid it will be more difficult next year."
After getting along with Shen Li for a day today, Zhou Qing and him are also a lot more familiar, and they don't speak so politely.
Shen Li......
Can you refuse?
took a big bite of the meat skewer and chewed, "Okay, I'll try to let the master pass the Tongsheng exam." Do you have any plans for the future? ”
Zhou Qing looked at Shen Li.
Greeting Zhou Qing's sparkling eyes, Shen Li smiled gently, "When the master is a child, have you ever thought about moving to the city?" ”
Zhou Qing laughed out loud, "How expensive is the housing price, it seems that I can afford it, my father was born in Tongsheng, and he lived in the academy, as for entering the city, let's talk about it when he becomes a show." ”
Shen Li smiled and didn't speak again.
Just like this, under the starry night, sitting next to Zhou Qing by the bonfire, listening to the laughter in his ears and eating the meat skewers in his hands, Shen Li only felt that life was so beautiful.
It turns out that contentment and happiness are as simple as that.
After the meat skewers were eaten, the bonfire was still there, Zhou Qing and Zhou Yao continued to cut paper, Shen Li continued to write, and Zhou Huailin cleaned up the mess that everyone had eaten.
Zhou Ping was squatting by the fire and playing with a small stick, when he saw someone entering the courtyard, "Brother Chengwu?" ”
