Chapter Fifty-Eight: Barbecue Night
Xu Cong'an is a vacant person, whether it is in the palace as a royal doctor, or resigned to go to the countryside, he does not like to communicate with people, let alone force himself, he also married a wife and had children when he was young, but he has a strange temperament, so that his wife is separated, his only friend in his life is Bai Jianran, after resigning, he only plans to live in the Bai family for a year and a half, and then send his love to the landscape, but he didn't expect to be attracted by a little girl's strange plaster, and was nourished by her exquisite cooking skills, and now he can also mingle with the entire Zhou family. I don't know if it's because of his age, but in recent days, he often dreams of his old wife. Probably old, right? Because he is very old. After many years, his naughty son and lively daughter are also the age of Bai Yitian and Zhou Bo, have they married?
Maybe it's really old, and his personality is less arrogant in the past, and more understanding and memories.
However, when he was young, did he really hurt his family too much?
Is there something in the dark that governs fate? Or is it karma, God's test for him?
What is Kewei? What is not do?
Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Xiao Qi Niang pulled his sleeve and said softly: "Sir, it's time to start the barbecue, it's too hot here, it's smoky and smoky, you might as well go over and have a table with us." โ
Xu Cong'an shook off the happiness and said with a smile: "The old man is still at the same table with your eldest brother!" โ
Next to it, a few stable mothers and boys, under the leadership of Zhou Ma and Dahu, before barbecuing food, first brush the grill with a layer of oil, and skillfully begin to put the food skewers on the stovetop, all meat, ribs directly brush the oil on both sides and grill, and then turn over and over again. The skewers look like oil bubbles are tumbling, the color turns white and yellow to indicate maturity, the chicken feet are roasted until there is a sound of frying, the chicken wings are roasted until they are browned, the chicken thighs are roasted with a knife and brushed with oil until browned, and there is no blood overflowing inside, and the vegetables are roasted soft and small roasted yellow. Everyone has a tacit understanding of holding different kinds of skewers, brushing oil while baking, and sprinkling spicy powder, cumin horns or unknown powder in time when the food is roasted until it is nine ripe. Brush with oil and bake it a little, that is, different girls will come and take it according to their master's preferences.
Xu Cong'an participated for the first time, whether he ate this or that, he was full of praise, "Everything in this world is just people's hearts, if you don't do it, you don't think about it, just if you have wine today and get drunk today!" โ
"Yukimi thinks it should be better to have meat today!"
Looking at Xue Jian, who was also self-managed and happy, as if he had forgotten who was the master, Xu Cong'an pondered in his heart, eating well is the lifelong wish of ordinary people, so, what about his own?
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't you care about tomorrow?" โ
Hearing his question, Xue saw that he laughed: "Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows, where can I manage so much, it is only right to live up to today!" โ
"......" Xu Cong'an paused, then smiled with relief, and said to Zhou Bo: "It's a little interesting, Brother Bo'er's girl is really smarter than others, this language is quite Zen!" โ
Xue saw that he almost choked, and sure enough, his stomach was full and his brain was not enough, why did he talk about it again? If you use other people's words, you can use them well, but if you don't use them, you can't use them to call them! Yukimi, what kind of dish do you think you are?
In an instant, countless movie and television images appeared in Xuejian's mind, but she didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that she wouldn't be able to control her tongue and pop up some terms that didn't exist here.
Let's eat it!
After a long time, Zhou Bo and Xu Cong'an didn't wait for Xue Jian to continue to praise themselves, and they were a little uncomfortable, so they asked her.
"Yukimi, you're choking?"
"Yukimi, did you bite your tongue?"
"You guys?!" Seeing that Xue was furious, she got up and pointed at the two of them with a bamboo stick, and began to think about whether to use Emei stabbing or lightning sword?
"Yukimi, you have a sore throat? Or was it pointed? After Xu Cong'an asked this, he looked sideways for a long time, and asked Zhou Bo seriously: "Could it be that there are killers around?" Yukimi was mistakenly clicked on the dumb hole? โ
ยท#๏ฟฅ%โฆโฆโ*
Xue saw that he scolded in his heart, and he was so angry that he opened his mouth to scold for a while, but he was stuffed into his mouth by a roast chicken wing.
"It's not true, it's not either, it turned out that it was hit in the mouth by the chicken wing killer!" Zhou Bo added a sentence without being salty.
Qing Ling, who was running around and waiting, saw Xue Jian's embarrassment, and was in a faintly good mood, knowing that this girl was not someone who could be treated by a man.
Looking at Zhou Bo sitting calmly at the table, under the moon shadow wind lamp, he was cold but chic to the extreme, and suddenly his face was red, and his movements were unnatural.
"Young Master, be careful with your food, don't burn your mouth, Qingling will blow it for you." The sound was so loud that it could drip oil, and Yukimi finally choked and burped brightly.
Zhou Bo didn't move, looked at Qing Ling, but said in his mouth: "It's too unseemly, why don't you go and bring some tea, you don't have to show up here!" โ
When Xue saw that he shook his hand and ran away, the frightened Qing Ling realized that it was not him. I didn't dare to mention anything to brag about, so I hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully handed over the meat skewers, and said softly: "Young Master, you use it slowly." โ
Xu Cong'an glanced at her thoughtfully, with a smile on his face.
Don't dare to speak nonsense anymore, Qing Ling thought about it for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Young Master, what else do you and Mr. Xu need, the slave maid will go over and get it." Although she tried to express it as thoughtfully as possible, it was obviously not effective.
Xiao Qi Niang saw Xu Cong'an eating happily regardless of her image from a distance, and couldn't help but come over and persuade: "Sir, use it slowly, this barbecue is delicious, but it is not easy to digest." โ
Qing Ling took the opportunity to step aside, and then he felt that he was already sweating with fear just now. Seeing Xue Jian from a distance, he shook in like no one else, and said in his heart, this Xue Jian didn't know if he was still young, or he had no heart or lungs, so he was not afraid of this!
Zhou Bo took the handkerchief from Xuejian's hand and wiped his hands, before shaking his head and saying, "It's a shame that Yitian hasn't been here these days, otherwise these ingredients today won't be enough for the three of their masters and servants!" โ
Everyone laughed in unison, Qing Ling originally wanted to ask who this Bai Yitian was, but knowing that this was not something he should worry about, he held back, and saw that the other masters slowly withdrew, Zhou Bo also waved his hand at her, and even saluted and followed Zhou's mother and them to the side of the table and ate.
This young master's aura is powerful, and it is indeed too scary. But to be honest, this week's family committee is really good, the masters seem to be very kind, they eat more than ordinary people, they are very delicious, there are few people and few things, if they can enter Zhou Bo's eyes, it will be perfect.
Zhou Bo accompanied Xu Cong'an to sit at the small table, Xiao Qi Niang didn't leave, everyone was gossiping together, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days! The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a reunion festival, but the Zhou family was not around, and the word reunion became ironic. Xu Cong'an was also silent.
Seeing that everyone was depressed, Xue Jian hurriedly served warm green tea, "After eating barbecue, drink some green tea, the most greasy thing is to relieve greasy and protect the stomach." "Adjusting the atmosphere has never been her specialty.
Xu Cong'an took a sip comfortably and said: "It's neither hot nor cold, save the alternation of hot and cold, or Xue sees that the girl will enjoy it and know how to maintain it." โ
Alas, she just had a little more common sense than the ancients.
With a self-deprecating smile, Xue Jian lowered her head to prevent everyone from seeing the fluctuations in her eyes, and then she said softly: "Didn't Mr. just say that Xue Jian is smart, and the eldest young master is well trained." โ
I don't know how long it took, Xue Jian heard Xu Cong'an and Zhou Bo laughing, and the laughter became louder and louder.
Raising her head, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, Xue didn't know why, could it be that her words were so funny?
Xu Cong'an laughed to himself for a while, and then sighed faintly: "Xue Jian is really a treasure. โ
Xue was stunned, what does this Doctor Xu mean? On second thought, she is not a treasure, a treasure from the new century!
"Why are you still stupid, it's getting cold, go into the house and add some clothes and then come out to serve." Zhou Bo said disgustedly.
Xue saw that the emotion in her heart also disappeared suddenly, and Zhou Bo didn't say a few mean words, but he was afraid that he would really die! As long as one is not paying attention, he will jump out at any time and stab her a few words.
"Big brother, De'er has also retired, it's late at night, Mr. and eldest brother, let's rest early."
Zhou Bo nodded, and Xue knew that he had another friendly face to his own sister, how unfair, unjust and unjust this was for the crossing girl!
Qi Niang was about to finish speaking, and then saw Li'er striding in, holding a cloak in her hand.
"Miss Seven, the wind is blowing, put it on." As she spoke, she was busy putting the cloak on Qi Niang, for fear that she would look sick from the cold.
In fact, Qi Niang is not a frail little lady, she is not afraid of the cold at all, but she is still a little afraid of heat, but when she saw the care in Li'er's eyes, she didn't say anything, just smiled.
"Let's go back too!"
Xue saw that he looked in the courtyard and didn't see Qing Ling, this person's ability to resist blows is really limited, and it is estimated that this will be hiding.
Xu Cong'an said with a smile: "Tomorrow, the old man will go back to Anning, and he will go to San Lang Courtyard to borrow some manuscripts in a while." Go back first. โ
Zhou Bo smiled at the corner of his mouth, he naturally knew that Saburo's manuscript was born from the story of Yukimi, so he didn't object to it, so he nodded with a smile.
When he walked back, Zhou Bo naturally reached out and grabbed Xue Jian and held on tightly.
Xue saw that he was caught by Zhou Bo and was taken aback, this Zhou Bo would only be like this in his own house, and he was always very serious outside. She was busy trying to shake it off, but Zhou Bo held it very hard, Xue didn't dare to make too much movement, and after tossing for a while, Zhou Bo didn't let go, so she had no choice but to stare at him, and then looked around with a red face, and at the gate of the courtyard, it seemed that the figure of Qingling flashed.
"By the way, five days later, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you beat enough mooncakes?" Just when Xue saw doubts, Zhou Bo suddenly asked.
Xue Jian thought for a while, then stretched out his other hand and began to bend his fingers: "A large portion of the Bai family, a large portion of the uncle's family, the third uncle and the fourth uncle's family, as well as the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Ma family, will also send some to taste, and ......"
"Well, that's pretty thoughtful."
When Yukimi heard this, he laughed again: "That's, who am I!" โ
The two of them whispered and laughed while entering the house, and Xue saw that there was no Qingling in the courtyard again. Do you still need to tell Zhou Bo about this?
However, Zhou Bo suddenly got close to her just now, could it be that he saw Qingling and did it on purpose?
