Xu Cong'an rarely goes down the mountain now, and every day with Zhang Li and Xiping, he helps Qi Niang raise sheep, plant herbs, pick mushrooms, and teach the two children to identify several error-prone herbs and poisonous weeds by the way, and he doesn't expect to teach anything, so he is leisurely and very satisfied.

Occasionally going down the mountain, all the families in the village greeted each other respectfully, the folk customs were simple, and the official words of those scenes in the past were different, although they were boring, but they were also acceptable.

When he comes down the mountain, he often brings some wild vegetables that he occasionally picks that everyone doesn't know or game that he catches with tension, and Yukimi naturally makes some fresh food for him in different ways, and then pickles some refreshing small pickles and asks him to take them up the mountain.

Originally, Zhou Bo wanted Erniang to buy a child and give it to Xu Cong'an, but Xu Cong'an said that he was used to being idle and wild, and if he wanted a medicine servant, he would have it a long time ago.

Xiao Qi Niang will also regularly take Qian'er and the newly bought girl Li'er, as well as a mother, to live in the mountain for a day or two.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, even though Xu Cong'an himself doesn't attach importance to this festival, Bai Jianran still sent someone to invite him down the mountain. When I arrived at Zhou's house, I originally wanted to bring some snacks made by Xuejian himself before leaving, but I heard that the people of the Zhou family seemed to have a word in their mouths, barbecue! When everyone said these two words, they all looked salivating, and a few little guys couldn't stop swallowing their saliva.

Barbecue, Xu Cong'an knows, this may be the most primitive way of cooking for human beings, to put it bluntly, it is to cook food on the fire, or meat food, until it is edible. Isn't it, is it Xue who has come up with a new trick when she sees this girl?

When the figures of a few subordinates gradually moved away, Xu Cong'an hurriedly asked Xiao Qiniang beside him, "What's going on with this barbecue?" ”

"This barbecue, naturally, is a new way to eat it that Sister Yukimi came up with!" Speaking of this, Xiao Qi Niang pursed her lips and smiled, also with a look of excitement, saying that it was a new way of eating that Xue Jian had researched, and it was still slowly improving, and she had tried it two or three times, and the taste was very attractive, so that the family liked it from top to bottom.

"Sir, it's better to have a barbecue today and go to the county seat tomorrow." Xiao Qi Niang, who knew the teacher's heart, rolled her eyes and knew that this master was an old naughty boy who was greedy for food.

"This is natural," Xu Cong'an said as a matter of course, glancing around, "If it's a barbecue in the house, won't it be too choking?" ”

"Where does the gentleman want to go?" Xiao Qi Niang lowered her head and smiled, "It's in the side courtyard, and it's a barbecue in the courtyard." ”

"I haven't been down the mountain for a long time, but I didn't know that you had a new trick!" Xu Cong'an laughed and said that he was not afraid of others saying that he was greedy, and the people took food as the sky.

Now the Zhou family has gradually increased, so they usually eat in their own courtyard, and when there are more people than before, it is a lot less interesting.

"Sister Xue said that this season is crisp and cool, and it is the most pleasant." The inconspicuous little girl beside Xiao Qi Niang helped him bring tea, "Suitable for barbecue in the hospital." ”

"Sister Yukimi came up with this barbecue, but it's different from the kind of barbecue I've heard of before, it's really delicious." Looking at Xiao Qi Niang's greedy appearance, Xu Cong'an smiled secretly, her own half-faded female disciple has mediocre medical skills, and her picky mouth is like herself. I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth, "Xue saw that the things that this little girl pondered, from food to use, are all amazing after trying them!" ”

"Mr. said it so well, he suddenly said what Li'er wanted to say but couldn't express, Mr. is really amazing!" The little Qiniang beside the girl bent her knees slightly and saluted, and praised the two of them in one sentence, this pity is not a stupid person, she clapped her hands again and said: "Sister Xue said that the barbecue stove was improved tonight, and everyone will be blessed again tonight." ”

"But it's not," Qian'er beside Qi Niang also said with a smile, unlike her mother's weak personality on the outside and strong on the inside, Qian'er is completely weak, but not as clever as this newcomer who looks plain and has slightly dark skin.

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Xiao Qiniang accompanied Xu Cong'an to the side courtyard to check the preparations for the barbecue.

"Look, sir, that, that round iron rack, it's for barbecue." As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw several iron shelves scattered around. The round outline, the capacity is super large, and the inside is generally separated by two layers of cover nets, and Li'er immediately told Xu Cong'an.

"It's really interesting," a few people looked at around the barbecue grill, which was layered and could be used for simmering and smoking. The iron frame also has a handle, which is convenient for changing positions at will during the barbecue process, Xu Cong'an smiled slightly, and had to praise, "It's still Xue Jian's delicate and thoughtful girl." ”

Xiao Qi Niang and Li'er Qian'er both laughed, "No," Li'er said: "This handle was added by the eldest young master after the last barbecue." Xu Cong'an was embarrassed, pretending to bow his head and continue to look at the shelf, because this shelf is huge, so it is convenient for several people to operate at the same time, creating a happy atmosphere to go in together, and you can also bake out the food as soon as possible, after all, there are many people.

"What's this?" Anyway, it's a shame, just ask, Xu Cong'an pointed to the wooden frames stretching out on both sides of the iron shelf and asked slowly.

The three of them smiled more happily, but they exchanged glances with each other, and no one answered.

"Hmph, the old man is just testing you, I didn't expect you to be really ignorant! This wooden shelf can hold some plates and food, so simple, can't you even see it? Xu Cong'an scolded them, and after a closer look just now, he guessed that this was to reduce the number of people coming and going.

"Sir, you're so clever! De'er admires and admires! The corners of Qi Niang's mouth rose, and she looked at the gentleman in front of her with shining eyes, she really admired her husband, and she admired more than just medical skills.

"Slaves and maids too," Li'er and Qian'er glanced at each other, took a step back, and said in unison: "I admire Mr. so much!" ”

"Well, this is not necessary, the old man is a very low-key person." Xu Cong'an didn't seem to feel that he was a great existence, "After a long time, you will understand." He confessed very modestly, at this time Xue Jian was not there, if Xue Jian was there, he would definitely spontaneously help him make up for what he had not said, don't worship brother, brother is just a legend.

"Actually, we already know a little bit," the three little girls couldn't help but be happy, and it was not easy to try to calm down, "Sir is really a god!" ”

"The distance between the old man and the immortals is still some," Speaking of this, Xu Cong'an was a little arrogant, "The old man can still be a mortal, just do it!" ”

Qi Niang and Li'er have been familiar with Xu Cong'an for a long time, and Xiao Qi Niang has a temper with him, so he also likes to tease with these children, if he is an outsider, he is a high-minded doctor.

As the sun set in the west, there were more busy figures in the courtyard. There are a lot of ingredients to prepare for barbecue, so not only the kitchen, but also other mothers and idle girls and boys also come to help.

"Fortunately, there are a lot of people in the family," Xu Cong'an tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It looks like a hearty meal!" ”

Zhou's mother led people to prepare various ingredients. Xu Cong'an paced over to himself, and saw the pig tenderloin and chicken breast that were cleaned up and cleaned up with little fat, beef and mutton were even more essential, and there were actually some field chickens, which had to make his eyes shine, as well as several kinds of fish and shrimp, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, which ordinary people would never think of barbecue food, all cut into similar lengths.

"Mr. Xu? When did Mr. Xu come down the mountain? Zhou's mother was busy with her hands, and greeted him with her mouth, "Mr. Xu is really blessed, eat barbecue today!" ”

"Blessed people don't have to be busy," Xu Cong'an sat down on a stool, "Let's see how you clean up these ingredients, and go back to the old man on the mountain to get a barbecue grill." This is really a good idea, Xu Cong'an himself admires himself.

On the other hand, Du Ma was taking a few people to prepare several different sauces and garlic.

"No need to ask, this is naturally Yukimi's sauce, right?" Xu Cong'an was in a good mood.

"Xue saw that the girl said that this sauce had been tried twice, and it tasted good, so she deliberately put it in a small porcelain bottle, and was thinking about sending it to Mr. up the mountain, "After all the beef and mutton skewers of Zhou Ma and others were skewered with bamboo skewers, the people on Du Ma's side skillfully mixed the meat skewers in the sauce and marinated for a while." Dekong Du's mother raised her head and said with a smile, "I don't believe you asked Miss Seven!" ”

"Mama Du is right, because I just started barbecuing, I was afraid that the taste would not be good, so I adjusted it a few times." Qi Niang naturally said with a smile, "When I come back, De'er will accompany Mr. to barbecue on the mountain, which also makes Brother Zhang Li's hunting more motivated!" ”

Xu Cong'an nodded again and again, fresh game, with Xuejian's exclusive sauce, and a pot of meat and a string of wine in the open area of the villa, isn't it wonderful? "Yes! Very much! ”

"That's not going to work!" Du Ma's face was straight, and she waved her hand and said, "It's autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the mountains are not something you can live in!" ”

"Don't Brother Zhang Li and Brother Xiping also live in the mountains?" Qi Niang said disapprerovitically, "What's more, there is still a gentleman, and you are not afraid of getting sick!" "This is Doctor Xu!

"My good sister!" Du Ma hurriedly said: "Sister Xian'er heard it carefully, and she scolded again!" ”

Qi Niang knew her sister, so she had to stick out her tongue and didn't dare to say it in front of Du Ma.

"The sun hasn't completely set yet, Sister De'er should sit under the tree," Du Ma glanced at the tree, and the small tables were already placed under the jujube trees that were in the limelight, and hurriedly urged Qi Niang to say, "It's about to start roasting, smoke it carefully." ”

"It's time to change the sauce," he said, and his subordinates were not idle, and all the chickens, pheasants, quails, and pigeons, such as chicken wings, chicken tips, chicken legs, and duck wings, were ordered to change the sauce and mix it well.

The fish is pierced into half a slice, the spines are removed, the garlic is replaced, and pickled and pickled.

The sauce for the pork ribs was also changed.

Several kinds of vegetables and buds have sauce again.

"So much sauce alone?" These different sauces with different meats and dishes dazzled Xu Cong'an, but seeing that everyone was methodical, interested, and laughing, it was obvious that they had cooperated for a long time. "If this is not delicious, there is no heavenly reason!"

At this time, the big tiger and a few boys have prepared and lit the pear charcoal, and when the charcoal is fully burned transparent and red-hot, the charcoal fire is cut with tongs to spread a thick layer of fire.

The girls with eyes went back to the room and invited the masters, and when Zhou Bo sat down in his place expressionlessly, the barbecue feast officially began!
