Chapter 128: What the hell did you put there!
Aunt Li swept over Qi Mo and Liu Liang fearfully for a while, she still remembers that ten days ago, she was seriously ill with a cold, and she didn't have time to send lunch to the hospital, and Song Lingyue was very busy in the hospital again, so she instructed Qi Mo to live with some noodles and make do with a meal.
Unexpectedly, such a simple dish of boiled noodles was completely cooked by Qi Mo and became a dark dish.
In addition to green onions, there was also soot floating on the soup, and there was a big pot of water in the pot, but the noodles were boiled.
Until now, Aunt Li has been puzzled by this.
Seeing Aunt Li's fear, Song Lingyue stepped forward and said with a smile: "Aunt Li, don't worry, this is very simple." ”
"Can it be easier than boiling noodles?" Aunt Li opened her mouth coldly, Qi Mo only felt like he had been hit by an arrow in his knee, and hurriedly avoided Aunt Li's eyes and didn't dare to look at her.
Thinking that he is a dignified prince, he will be ridiculed for not being able to cook, and he always feels a sense of self-shame.
When he was in the palace, he was praised by the masters for his talent and intelligence, but when he followed Song Lingyue, he found that the things he learned in the palace were useless among the people.
What about reading poetry books? In the end, I can't even take care of my own life.
Qi Mo lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
"Aunt Li, don't say that!" Song Lingyue stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Li's arm affectionately, "After you see what we're going to eat tonight, you'll know that it's really easy." ”
Song Lingyue took Xiangling and Aunt Li to the kitchen and took out the ingredients prepared in the afternoon and the barbecue oven.
Aunt Li hugged the barbecue grill with a diameter of about half a meter, and muttered, "What is this strange thing?" Do you have to use it for dinner today? ”
"Yes! It's the star of today's dinner! Song Lingyue and Xiangling were holding two plates of thinly sliced pork belly.
Aunt Li was about to put the barbecue grill on the table, but was stopped by Song Lingyue, "This thing will have a lot of smoke at that time, so it's better to put it in the middle of the yard." ”
Aunt Li answered, put down the barbecue grill, looked left and right, and looked, "This thing looks like a stove, what kind of surprising food can it make?" ”
Song Lingyue just smiled and said nothing, beckoning Lingyue to take out the remaining dishes in the kitchen with her.
"Why is everything raw?" Aunt Li glanced at the tabletop, whether it was thinly sliced pork belly, or potatoes and eggplants that were also sliced, all the ingredients were raw, except for the pig's trotters that had been stewed in the middle.
"You don't want us to eat raw meat, do you? I've heard of the tradition of eating raw beef in Mobei, but I don't know that even pork belly can be eaten raw? Qi Mo pushed the plate of pork belly in front of him aside, the pork belly had been carefully marinated by Song Lingyue, and there was no fishy smell anymore, but with a faint aroma of wine.
"Wait a little longer and you'll understand." Song Lingyue pretended to wink at everyone mysteriously, took the baking tray off the barbecue grill, lit the straw with flint, ignited the flame, and then poured the silver frost charcoal that had been crushed in advance, and the charcoal fire was ignited after a while, although there was no open flame, but it exuded a scorching temperature.
Song Lingyue used tongs to put the baking tray on the barbecue again, dipped some rapeseed oil with a brush, and brushed it on the iron plate.
After waiting for a while, Song Lingyue hung her hand about five centimeters above the baking sheet, and felt that the heat had risen, so she asked Xiangling to take a plate of pork belly that had not been seasoned but was cut into thick slices.
Song Lingyue used chopsticks to put the piece of pork belly on the baking sheet, and as soon as the pork belly hit the hot baking sheet, it immediately made a squeaking sound.
The fat of the pork was quickly forced out by the flames, and the pork belly began to shrink, and the texture of the meat changed from light pink to pink and white.
Song Lingyue hurriedly turned over the surface, and dipped another brush in thick salt water to inject the basic flavor into the pork belly.
After roasting for about two or three minutes, the pork gradually begins to ripen and has a lovely aroma.
Song Lingyue hurriedly sprinkled the chili powder and cumin powder prepared in the afternoon evenly on top of the pork, and then used scissors to cut the pork belly into small pieces that could be eaten.
It wasn't until the edges of the pork belly had been grilled out of the brown color that Song Lingyue quickly sandwiched all the pork belly into the plate.
"Come and try it, all of you. There is a sauce that I specially made, from the left there is garlic hot sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and half of the soy sauce and vinegar, and there are garlic slices and chopped green onions on a small plate next to it, which can be eaten with grilled meat.
If you feel too tired, you can also wrap the perilla leaves and lettuce leaves over there and eat them together. ”
Song Lingyue said as she demonstrated, she picked up a piece of roasted brown pork belly, dipped it in the garlic hot sauce, put it on the fresh perilla leaves, and then put a piece of garlic on the pork belly, wrapped the perilla leaves, and took a bite hard.
"Hmm, it's delicious!" Song Lingyue let out a sigh of praise with satisfaction, the heat of the pork belly was just right, the outside was burnt and fragrant, but the inside was still bubbling with oil.
The addition of cumin and chili pepper on the grilled pork belly has a more barbecue flavor, and the taste of the seven star peppers is really spicy enough, coupled with the choking spice of the garlic slices and the fragrance of perilla leaves, mixed together to form a complex mixture of flavors.
Song Lingyue stuck out her tongue spicy, and hurriedly drank a large cup of cold tea before suppressing the hot feeling in her mouth.
The spicy taste stimulated the taste buds, so that Song Lingyue couldn't help but eat the barbecue with chopsticks one after another.
Seeing that Song Lingyue was like a hamster, her cheeks were bulging, and several people who had been hungry for a long time also wanted to try.
"It's okay to eat it straight." Song Lingyue reminded with a smile, "However, the first time you eat it, you have to be careful, the taste is stimulating." ”
Qi Mo took the lead in picking up a piece, the pork belly was grilled just right, with a burnt brown shell on the outside, sprinkled with a layer of orange-red powder, and small particles that looked like sesame seeds but had a completely different exotic taste from sesame seeds.
"What's the orange-pink powder on this meat? How do I not remember any seasoning that is this color? Qi Mo carefully observed and observed, and didn't notice anything wrong, so he stuffed it directly into his mouth.
As soon as the pork belly is chewed in the mouth, the rich aroma of the meat immediately bursts out in the mouth, and before I have time to marvel, the mouth is immediately filled with a stimulating spicy taste, and after the spicy taste passes, the aroma of the meat becomes more obvious.
Qi Mo gasped several times of cold air, obviously spicy to the point that he only sucked his mouth, but the chopsticks in his hand couldn't stop, and he couldn't wait to get all the barbecue on that plate.
Qi Mo's appearance of not being able to stop chopsticks stimulated everyone present, and even Aunt Li, who has never been greedy, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Song Lingyue saw that everyone was looking at it with a blank eye, and couldn't help but smile: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and eat! If you don't move the chopsticks, I'm afraid that this plate of meat will be eaten up by Qi Mo. ”
Song Lingyue said and took another plate of pork belly marinated with chopped green onions and seasonings, put it on the baking tray and began to roast it slowly, adjusting the heat from time to time.
Song Lingyue spread the chopped green onions on the baking sheet, and soon the rich aroma of green onions slowly steamed in the air, and then covered the pork belly on top of the green onions, so that the meat slices could fully absorb the taste of the green onions.
Song Lingyue carefully adjusted and turned over the meat slices, so that each slice of meat was fully exposed to the heat of the charcoal fire.
Over there, Aunt Li and Liu Liang also raised their chopsticks one after another, and the scholar Song Lingyue wrapped the meat in perilla leaves and ate it.
Aunt Li chewed a few times, and immediately opened her eyes, "This taste is really good." I've never eaten pork like this, not to mention the fishy smell at all, and it's very crispy, and with this perilla, it's really a unique flavor. What is used in the seasoning, it is fragrant and spicy, but it makes people feel appetizing and want to eat it piece by piece. ”
Liu Liang also nodded contentedly after eating three pieces of barbecue meat in a row: "This meat is really good!" The flavor is rich, and after dipping it in this garlic hot sauce, the taste is really amazing. ”
Xiangling and Song Yanzhi have a soft spot for barbecue dipped in sweet and sour sauce, the originally roasted spicy pork belly is a little spicy in the mouth, and after being wrapped in sweet and sour sauce, the spicy taste is immediately diluted, leaving only a mouthful of meaty aroma.
Soon Song Lingyue found that the speed of her barbecue could no longer keep up with the speed of the five stutters, and at this time, she only hated that the baking tray was too small and underestimated their appetite.
"You go eat first, I'll bake it for you." Liu Liang didn't know when he came behind Song Lingyue and asked Song Lingyue to eat barbecue.
Song Lingyue said uncertainly: "Can you really do it?" It's baked, and everyone has nothing to eat. ”
"No problem, this just needs to take care of the heat and don't let it get pasted, it's much easier than stir-frying." Liu Liang took the pu fan in Song Lingyue's hand and the brush for brushing oil, and replaced Song Lingyue and began to barbecue for everyone.
"Those vegetables can be roasted, but when you roast the vegetables, remember to put oil, if there is no oil, the roast will be more shriveled and the taste is not good. The condiments are all on the table here, and you can control them at your own discretion. After Song Lingyue finished explaining, she got up and sat down at the table.
Song Yanzhi was pulled and only sucked his mouth, and kept asking Aunt Li to drink herbal tea, "Sister, the barbecue is delicious!" What exactly did you put in the barbecue to make the barbecue fragrant, spicy, and delicious? ”
As soon as Song Yanzhi's words fell, everyone present looked at Song Lingyue, expecting her answer.
"It's all thanks to the 'devil's horn', the orange-red powder on top of the pork belly, which is where the spiciness comes from. It is actually a type of chili pepper, but it is smaller than the green pepper in the vegetable market, but it is many times hotter. Song Lingyue explained to everyone.
"If the devil's horn is just a chili pepper, then why is it that when it was first circulated, the legend has it that the mouth of the person who ate it was red and swollen and faintly painful?" Aunt Li put down the teacup in her hand, and couldn't help but gasp as she asked, this chili pepper is really powerful, and her tongue is so hot that she is about to be paralyzed.
"In fact, the spicy pepper is a kind of pain, and everyone reacts to pain differently. I guess that the guy may have reacted to something in the chili pepper, which is why his mouth is red and swollen and painful after eating it, right? Song Lingyue roughly explained to everyone from a medical point of view.
"In fact, this chili pepper has a pungent and hot taste, which has certain benefits for driving away rheumatism and body cold. Of course, everything should be taken in moderation, and if you take too much, it will be a burden on the stomach. Song Lingyue picked up a piece of barbecue and put it into her mouth, and said vaguely.
"Indeed, after eating too much, I feel a panic in my stomach." Aunt Li has never eaten spicy food, and she is usually not in good health, but after eating too much, she feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
Song Lingyue hurriedly poured a cup of milk for Aunt Li, which could not only relieve Aunt Li's spiciness, but also protect Aunt Li's stomach.
"Peppers are really addictive, though. The spicier it is, the more enjoyable it feels, and the more it makes people want to keep eating. Qi Mo licked the corners of his lower lip, and the charming taste of the chili pepper remaining in his mouth was unforgettable.
Song Lingyue picked up the last piece of barbecue wrapped in the perilla leaf and stuffed it into her mouth, and almost at the same time, Liu Liang's green onion barbecue was also served on the table.
Song Lingyue explained that there is no need to put any ingredients, and it is already delicious enough to eat it directly.
Each thin slice of pork belly is wrapped in a small piece of green onion white, and when grilled, there are green onions underneath, and the whole barbecue is full of green onions.
Since the meat slices have already been marinated, they don't need to be seasoned too much at all, and they can be sent directly to the mouth.
I have to say that Liu Liang has an excellent grasp of the heat, the pork belly on the outside is fully cooked, and the green onion inside is still much tenderer. The state of the juice.
Song Lingyue didn't pay attention when she took the first bite, and the onion core slipped into her mouth, almost burning Song Lingyue's tongue, but the delicious taste made Song Lingyue refuse to let go of anything.
In the blink of an eye, more than two catties of pork were divided up by several people, and they didn't feel satisfied, so Liu Liang helped everyone roast vegetables.
The fat of the roasted vegetables Song Lingyue specially replaced it with the lard refined in the afternoon, which made the vegetables stained with the smell of meat, with those seasonings, even Song Yanzhi, who hated eating eggplants and leeks the most, said that today's eggplant and leeks were the best he had ever eaten.
This night's barbecue meeting made everyone satisfied, and they wished that they could grow two more stomachs.
Song Yanzhi and Xiangling have a special affection for roasted vegetables, and they no longer refuse to eat flavorful vegetables such as radish, which can be regarded as an unexpected harvest tonight.
This meal was eaten for nearly two hours, and the dishes and meat prepared by Song Lingyue were almost wiped out, and everyone was spread out on the chair comfortably and just wanted to burp.
"Sister, the barbecue is so good, I want to eat barbecue often in the future." Song Yanzhi swallowed the last piece of scallion-flavored barbecue in his mouth, and he was already thinking about the next meal.
Aunt Li stretched and cleaned up the mess on the table one by one, no one wanted to stop her action, because everyone couldn't stop it, she was too full to eat, she didn't want to move at all, she just wanted to sit in a daze like this.
"Why don't we guess the riddle? Whoever guesses wrong will be punished in the courtyard. Of course, there will be no punishment for items that are too embarrassing, at most they are frog jumps or push-ups and the like. Everyone has eaten too much today, and if you go to sleep like this, it is not good for your stomach, so you can just guess the lantern riddle and do a punishment exercise, and it is also excellent to eliminate food. Seeing that everyone was lazy, looking like they were full and sleepy, Song Lingyue hurriedly proposed.
"Okay." Qi Mo is always the first to respond. "So who do we start with?"
"Let's start with me, let's go clockwise, how about it?" Song Lingyue asked everyone's opinions, and of course everyone said that there was no problem.
Song Lingyue immediately went to prepare pen and ink, and cut the rice paper into a space of three times three, "One person makes the question, and the rest of the people are responsible for answering, and the answer is written on the rice paper, if the answer is correct, one point will be recorded, and ten questions will be a round, the one who is right is the winner, and the one who is right is the loser." That's fine, right? ”
Song Lingyue looked around, and no one would disagree with her arrangement.
Originally, I thought that Xiangling should also participate, but if Xiangling participated, no one would be able to help them guess the riddle, so Xiangling, as the questioner, did not participate in this guessing.
The first few questions were very simple, Song Lingyue wrote them down on paper, and even wondered if the questions were so simple, should she deliberately answer them incorrectly, otherwise they were all correct and how to walk in the yard to exercise and eat.
"The puzzle of the following question is 'the lantern riddle is qualified, daunting'." Xiangling reported this question in front of everyone.
This topic is a bit too familiar, Song Lingyue always feels that she has heard it somewhere, but she can't remember it for a while.
Song Lingyue bit the end of the brush and thought about the answer seriously. The habit of biting the pen is something she has had since she was in elementary school, and when she thinks about it, she likes to bite something, and she can't change it.
Song Lingyue thought slowly, and secretly paid for it in her heart: "If you take this anagram apart, the grid character has to be a square, which resembles a mouth word, and the lantern riddle is also called Wenhu in ancient times, as for being daunting, it should be the meaning of this word, right?" ”
Song Lingyue read silently, while writing a word next to the word "tiger" and a tiger on the rice paper, and looked at it closely, isn't this just a bluff?
It seems that the final mystery should be this word.
After confirming the answer, Song Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the pen that had been bitten out by her.
Soon half an hour passed, Aunt Li had already cleaned up the kitchen and came back, seeing that everyone was meditating on the seats, she became a supervisor for Xiangling on the side, responsible for collecting the answers to those riddles.
Since the riddle is a problem they make to each other, when it comes to their own problem, that person cannot write the answer on the paper.
Each question is followed by the name of the questioner, so there is no confusion and no confusion will be made.
After everyone's answers are collected, Xiangling sorts them out, and the charming ones judge whether the riddler's answers are correct.
In other words, each of them has to judge whether the answer to the riddle is right or wrong.
Most of Song Lingyue's crossings are some anagrams or anagrams, all of which are very simple, but there are two riddles hiding at the end to guess the names of traditional Chinese medicines.
Questioners who work for each other have such benefits, and they can set more favorable questions for themselves.
Song Lingyue quickly compared the answers to the riddles she came out with the answers written down by several other people, but she didn't expect that there were really many people who answered correctly.
Even the two word puzzles she deliberately designed to guess the name of Chinese medicine were easily cracked by Qi Mo.
Song Lingyue sighed, if she had come to play this lantern riddle two months ago, Qi Mo would definitely not know the names of these medicinal materials so easily.
As for Qi Mo's side, he glanced at almost all the answers in a hurry, and put the right ones aside.
There is only one answer to a question, and Qi Mo has read it carefully. After reading everyone's answers, he swept Song Lingyue's face quite meaningfully.
However, at that time, Song Lingyue didn't notice Qi Mo's movements, and was full of calculations about how many riddles she could answer correctly.
Soon the answer statistics ended, Song Yanzhi and Liu Liang answered eight questions correctly and one answered nine questions correctly, while Qi Mo and Song Lingyue answered all ten questions correctly.
"Punishment, punishment! In the first round, Yanzhi and Liu Liang were punished! Song Lingyue jumped up from the chair with a cheer, her excited eyes glowing.
Song Lingyue looked around and thought about it: "The punishment project is very simple, Liu Liang and Qi Mo, you two can learn frog jumping together and go around the courtyard!" ”
