"Qian Junbao" wants to eat barbecue, and the people in the courtyard naturally want to satisfy him.
After a while, more than a dozen people were busy in the yard, and the air was quite fresh at night when the rain stopped.
The stars also hung in large swaths above the canopy.
Ye Qing came to the simple stove that Wang Kai had built with them, his hands kept moving, and he was rubbing the flint and steel all the time.
When she saw this thing before, she was very interested, but after wiping it many times, it didn't cause fire.
Later, she found out that she was looking for guilt, and when Qian Duoduo came, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Asked her to rub the flint and steel a few times, rubbing the dry thatch and catching the fire, the corners of Ye Qing's mouth twitched, it seemed that it was a problem with her own skills.
Originally, it could have been broken with fire, but she had to feel this primitive fire.
Later generations were accustomed to a convenient and fast life, and in terms of hands-on ability, they were actually inferior to the ancients.
Qian Duoduo carefully protected the flames and added some dead branches to it.
The flames slowly became stronger, and Ye Qing also put in some dried pine hair, and then added some dry firewood.
After the fire burned for half an hour, a basket of fruit charcoal was piled into it, and finally an iron net the size of a pot lid was added to it.
This thing was originally used by the chef here for bacon.
Everyone also unconsciously sat around the fire, and the cook's son, Little Monkey, also came over curiously to watch the adults get things.
Ye Qing quickly re-lit a fire, made a hanging pot, and added half a pot of oil to it.
A grandmother in the courtyard brought a pot of small trash fish the size of her thumb and a pot of flour paste.
Needless to say, fried small fish is also delicious, which is a good thing that can only be eaten by local people during the New Year, because it consumes too much fuel.
Ye Qing mixed cooked black sesame seeds, cooked white sesame seeds, pepper powder and salt together, rolled them with a rolling pin, rolled them out a few more times, and the sesame pepper and salt were ready.
"Cow ...... Youngest maternal aunt...... You fry the fish, I'll grill the meat. Ye Qing shouted Niu Xiaowu.
Niu Xiaowu walked over, looked at a large jar of wine brought by Qian Duoduo, and suddenly said, "If only there were ice cubes here, the chilled rice wine would taste good." โ
Qian Duoduo smiled: "How can there be ice cubes in the courtyard, it's good to drink like this." โ
Ye Qing cut the meaty pomfret a few times, marinated it with various spices, and it can be used to make grilled fish for a while.
"Grilled fish, this is very particular, do you want me to help you? My skills in grilling fish are very good," Niu Xiaowu was interested in grilling fish when she saw the palm-sized fish, and she said positively to Ye Qing.
"Okay, wait until you've fried the fish before grilling the fish, then I'll grill the meat."
"Well, I've already processed the mutton just now, you can just skewer it and roast it."
As soon as Ye Qing walked to the charcoal fire, he saw two fat and big rabbits on the ground, and Wang Kai was digging a pit in the ash heap to bury potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"Roast a few more sweet potatoes, that's delicious."
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he set up the rabbit dressed in bamboo and began to roll on the open flame.
When the rabbit meat was a little burnt, Ye Qing took a small brush and began to brush some honey water on the rabbit meat little by little.
The rabbit meat brushed with honey immediately turned into butter and oil, and these two rabbits were quite fat, estimated to be five or six pounds.
In this way, it is still the meat after skinning, which is much fatter than the rabbit meat that Ye Qing has eaten before, and even the meat raised on her farm is not so fat.
"Is this rabbit fat enough? Did you hit it? Ye Qing asked Wang Kai.
"My dad beat me."
"Next time, if you catch a living creature that is not injured and keep it, raise it first and then notify me."
"What do you want?"
"Everything."
Wang Kai nodded, "Yes." โ
After a while, the rabbit meat was roasted by the fire, and a drop of oil mixed with honey water dripped down the meat into the charcoal fire, and the charcoal was crackled.
Ye Qing rotated the roast rabbit while brushing the rabbit meat with various spices.
Mo Ce walked over and asked, "It's hard work, do you want me to help you turn the rabbit, you just brush the spices?" โ
Ye Qing glanced up at him, thinking that he wanted to roast and play, anyway, now the rabbit meat just keeps turning.
So she nodded and said, "You go and bring the mutton first, I'll grill the lamb skewers for you to eat, and then you can turn the rabbit again." โ
"Hmm." Mozer turned.
Niu Xiaowu's side has already begun to fry the small fish.
A group of people talked and laughed around her in the firelight, because the fried fish was so fragrant, and for those who had little oil and water, it was simply more attractive than barbecue.
Ye Qing suddenly felt that his heart was full of happiness at this moment.
Mo Ce seemed to sense something, turned around, glanced at Ye Qing, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Dong Yun and Dong Ling were not idle, but moved out a large black casserole and began to cook mushroom soup.
All kinds of miscellaneous mushrooms picked today have been inspected by Ye Qing, and they are all delicious edible mushrooms, which can be eaten with confidence.
This mushroom soup is delicious and better than chicken soup without any special seasonings.
The cook in the courtyard washed a large pot of fresh cucumbers and began to mix cucumbers, which is her specialty.
The cucumbers she mixed out were very appetizing, sour and spicy.
The little monkey boy likes to eat sweet and sour cucumbers, and the cook even mixed a bowl for him.
As soon as Niu Xiaowu put out the fried fish, several people didn't care about it, so they picked up the fish with their hands and ate it.
"Incense!"
"It's so fragrant, I can eat ten."
"You can't eat too much of this thing, or your throat will hurt."
"It's rare for the big guy to be happy today, of course you can eat as much as you want!"
"Yes, I didn't expect Young Master Bao to suddenly be interested and want to eat barbecue.
It's still like this, I think the more things like this in the future, the better, but it's a pity that Young Master Bao will leave tomorrow. โ
"I can't bear it."
Ye Qing took a large handful of bamboo skewers and beckoned Wang Kai to come over and help skewer the mutton, Niu Xiaowu's marinated mutton looked very good, and there were a lot of onions in it.
"Wang Kai, you are like this...... Skewer four pieces of meat in addition to a piece of fat! Ye Qing picked up a bamboo skewer and demonstrated it first, and after a while, they skewered several strings.
Ye Qing put the skewered mutton on the grilling net, turned it up and down for a few minutes, and when the meat changed color, he first brushed the honey lightly with a brush.
After roasting for a while, continue to brush with oil, and then roast again, while roasting, slowly sprinkle the meat with Ye Qing's special barbecue seasoning.
Seeing that the meat skewers were a little dry, she brushed the oil again, sprinkled the barbecue sauce lightly, and the lamb skewers were grilled in a short time.
"It smells so good."
"Come on, you taste it first." Ye Qing handed a lamb skewer to "Qian Junbao".
"You eat too."
Ye Qing smiled sassily, "I'll eat it later." โ
After another two quarters of an hour, Ye Qing saw that the rabbit meat had also been roasted, and he wanted to take a bite when he looked at it.
She shouted, "Come here, everyone, let's eat, put everything on the table." โ
Today, there were a total of sixteen people here, and two tables were opened, and Ye Qing divided the rabbit meat into two large plates.
As soon as it was placed, a pot of mushroom soup was also placed on the wooden table.
Niu Xiaowu is really good at grilling fish, there are four fish at each table, half open, just one person can eat half.
There is also a plate of crispy fried small fish, and hundreds of skewers of roast lamb. plus a few small dishes made by the cook, a large table full of dishes.
"So much to eat." Wang Kai's father walked over and was amazed at the delicious food on the wooden table.
"I didn't expect that the game that Xiao Kai and I hunted today could become so much delicious?"
"Is it not, King? Uncle, you are lucky today, the rabbits you hit are very fat. โ
"Luckily, I happened to hit two big male rabbits, and the female rabbits are not that big."
The old man sweeping the floor in the courtyard also came over and praised: "The goat is not bad, it has more than 30 catties." โ
Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Good luck, good luck." I was thinking about eating stew tomorrow, but this way it looks even better. โ
"The young lady's craftsmanship is really good, and your daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is also excellent, and she made this grilled fish. Just drink when you look at it, brother, let's drink one more bowl later. โ
Qian Duoduo put the wine jar on the table and laughed: "It's all our own people, let's not make a fool of ourselves, for a while, one person will drink three catties." โ
"Cheng, this is a lot, it's not a small one, but it's not a small amount of wine." Uncle Wang smiled and patted Qian Duoduo's shoulder.
Although Qian Duoduo is young, the amount of alcohol is indeed leveraged, and he warmed up with these two old men in three or two sentences. "Come uncle, don't say anything else, drink a bowl first."
"Hehe, don't worry, we're not polite with you kid." The old man who swept the floor laughed and picked up the bowl.
"Okay, let's have a drink and eat meat."
"."
"It's a lot, and if you have wine, you forget everything." Dongyun shook his head, Qian Shanbo didn't come tonight, otherwise he would have said a few more words.
Ye Qing and Niu Xiaowu sat at the same table, and in front of them were half a grilled fish, and the grilled fish had to be eaten hot, and the flavor was not right when it was cold.
Niu Xiaowu looked at the grilled fish and suddenly said: "If it is winter, it will be comfortable to eat the grilled fish pot, and the big fish will be roasted like that, and then put special ingredients, the taste will be ......."
Ye Qing understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, you don't have to wait until winter, you can also eat the Sichuan-style grilled fish pot you said in summer." โ
Niu Xiaowu shook his head and said: "Without important seasonings, without authentic Pixian bean paste, you can't make a delicious grilled fish pot." โ
Ye Qing thought for a while and said: "We have a lot of southwestern people from Sichuan here, and they should be able to make bean paste, and when it comes to winter, you go to them to buy some." Or you can make a few altars yourself. โ
"Will you do it? I'm afraid that the one we make ourselves won't taste like that! Niu Xiaowu sighed.
"You can do it, but you're right, a lot of the ingredients won't be available until late autumn, and you're very picky about chili peppers. When we have the materials, we'll make some ourselves. โ
Mo Ce interjected curiously: "What did you say?" โ
Ye Qing picked up the mutton skewers and ate a piece before saying, "We said that we want some chili peppers, peppercorns and broad beans from Sichuanzhou, I don't know if Chong'an can buy them?" โ
Mo Ce pondered for a while before saying, "Sichuan Prefecture is two thousand miles away from here, and it is estimated that Chong'an will not be able to buy what you want here." However, the Qian family has a caravan, and they can bring some from Bashu. โ
"That's great, bring us a few hundred pounds in late autumn." Ye Qing said excitedly.
"So much?" Moze asked.
Ye Qing nodded, "The more the merrier, it's best to bring some seeds, let's try to plant them."
After this thing is made, it will not take three years to keep it, so that a large area of people in Jianzhou will fall in love with eating grilled fish pot. Of course, there are various other Sichuan dishes. โ
"You're going to make this deal?"
"Hmm."
"No problem, it's not a big deal." Mo Ce responded, and easily sandwiched a piece of cucumber for Ye Qing into the small bowl in front of her.
"Ye Qing, you are leaving tomorrow, don't say anything, I respect you." Niu Xiaowu picked up the wine bowl and said: "I don't have the ability of you, in the future, I will run the bookstore well, and the pigs and sheep in this part of the courtyard will be raised, so as to ensure that this place will become a beautiful countryside." โ
"Well, let's do it together!" Ye Qing also picked up the wine bowl in front of him and said, the two touched the bowl, and then they both took a big sip.
If it weren't for "Qian Junbao" being here, the two of them would probably have drunk it all.
Mo Ce was a little surprised when he heard what they said, Niu Xiaowu didn't seem to look much like Ye Qing's relatives, but like a "fellow countryman".
But he is Ye Qing's "fellow countryman." โ
What is the identity of this Niu Xiaowu, it seems that there is something that he doesn't know.
"Don't just talk about things, eat quickly." Dongyun added water and wine to the two of them.
Niu Xiaowu nodded, "Yes, eat." Today you will have to eat up everything you have made, and you will have to drink all the wine. โ
After a supper, Ye Qing and Niu Xiaowu seemed to have found a soulmate for many years, and began to chat.
Other people in the Qian Mansion also began to say things that they would not dare to say on a daily basis.
The atmosphere was very lively, and those men got together and drank a little wine and talked a lot, of course, indispensably, and said some meat words.
Before the time came to the middle of the night, Ye Qing's face was flushed, and he stood up, "Keep these things for tomorrow morning, everyone wash up and go to sleep now." โ
"Well, young lady, you should go to bed early."
Ye Qing didn't know how to take a bath in a daze, but she still remembered not to wash her hair, she just went to bed and lay down, and fell asleep in less than three minutes.
Mo Ce didn't feel sleepy, and tomorrow they were leaving Chong'an?
Because he doesn't have the memory of Qian Junbao these days, it's not very clear.
If that's the case, there are some things he'll have to deal with first.
Thinking of this, he didn't stay by Ye Qing's side to sleep, but changed his clothes and left the courtyard.
Qian Duoduo drank too much, stared out in confusion, and inadvertently saw a figure sweeping across the roof.
"Who?" He stayed for a long time, but he was drunk, and he was in a hurry to go to the hut, so he didn't care about it for a while.
Ye Qing didn't wake up until the sun rose the next day, and muttered, "What time is it?" โ
After today, a new day is about to begin, and she is in a good mood.
Hey?
There was no reply, she touched the emptiness around her, and it seemed that Qian Junbao had woken up early.
