Chapter 66: Barbecue
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, in order to welcome the arrival of the eldest niece and eldest nephew, and also to add extra meals to the children, Xu Dong planned to take advantage of the free weekend to tidy up the barbecue.
Early in the morning, he drove to the Panjiayuan thrift market, after all, he had been here several times, and he was familiar with the road.
"Boss Cha, are you there?"
This boss Cha is the shopkeeper who sold Xu Dong's pig head before, excluding the pig head, and the two sides traded twice.
"Yes, it turned out to be Brother Xu, why did you come so early today?" Boss Cha said curiously.
"Rest today, come over early to see if you have any meat here?"
Boss Cha apologized: "That's really not a coincidence, there is no meat today, so you have to run for nothing." β
"It's okay, I'll go somewhere else."
Xu Dong waved his hand and left.
In another store, this time he was lucky, he exchanged three boxes of yogurt and a cigarette for three catties of pork belly.
Knowing this, I should have stocked up on more pure milk, but yogurt is really not selling at a price, not even one-third of the price of pure milk.
Xu Dong was very curious, could it be that the nutritional gap between them was really that big?
Next, he went to the stall area to see if he could pick up a leak.
The stall area is more lively than some time ago, especially the chicken and duck sellers, there are a lot more, Xu Dong roughly estimated, there are at least seven or eight.
This is not difficult to understand, after all, as long as there is enough profiteering, let alone chickens and ducks, crocodile meat can be whole for you.
There are more chickens and ducks on the market, and the price will inevitably fall a little, and the price of a normal chicken at the moment is about 2,500 yuan, and the price of a revival cigarette.
Xu Dong easily changed two small roosters, each weighing three catties, to be used as barbecue ingredients.
Grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken sausages, grilled chicken thighs, grilled chicken gizzards, grilled chicken breasts......
There are too many parts of the rooster that can be roasted.
After buying meat, Xu Dong went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, although he has a vegetable garden, but after all, there is no vegetable market with a complete variety.
Finally, he went to the big supermarket again and bought two herring fish.
Strange to say, there is no seafood seller in the vegetable market, it seems that only a few large supermarkets in the city sell it.
β¦β¦
At half past six in the afternoon, Xu Dong saw that the time was almost up, called his eldest niece over, and the two carried the barbecue grill to the yard together.
I bought a barbecue grill a long time ago, similar to the one in a barbecue shop, and I kept it in the concierge after I bought it, and I haven't used it once.
Today is the first time to "open meat".
"Lingling, I'll go carry the charcoal, you go to the kitchen and get some alcohol, your grandmother knows where the alcohol is." Xu Dong commanded.
"I'll go right away."
Ten minutes later, the charcoal was finally ignited, and the charcoal fire burned very strongly.
"It's burning...... a few children clapped around the sidelines.
"Coco, look at them, don't let them touch the oven with their hands." Xu Dong reminded in time.
"Dad, I'm pulling Dabao, he can't get by."
As soon as the words fell, Yang Lina came over with a large basket of vegetables, and Xu Ma followed behind, holding a large pot of marinated meat in her hand.
"Where's my dad, haven't you gotten off work yet?" Xu Dong asked while brushing the iron plate with oil.
"Leave him alone, he said it would take half an hour to come back, and I don't know what I'm busy with every day!" Mother Xu complained.
Yang Lina immediately persuaded: "Mom, the store is busy, and Dad can't help it." β
"Okay, let's not talk about him! Dongzi, do you know how to grill meat, don't burn all the meat, it will be a waste. Mother Xu was worried, after all, the price of meat is so expensive now.
"Don't worry, aren't all barbecue restaurants self-roasting now, and I've never seen burnt them." Xu Dong said with confidence.
"Roast the vegetables first, or the meat first?" Yang Lina asked.
"Let's grill the pork belly first, the barbecue will produce oil, and then the roasted vegetables will be fragrant."
After speaking, Xu Dong took a palm-length slice of pork belly with a clip and put it on the iron plate.
With a "swish", a smell of meat immediately spread.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Xu Dong grilled seven or eight slices of pork belly in succession, and after grilling them, he sandwiched them aside, and then grilled some vegetables.
"Dad, are you gone?" Coco asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine right away." Xu Dong said with a smile.
While roasting vegetables, Xu Dong asked his eldest niece to cut the pork belly into pieces with scissors for easy eating.
When the vegetables were cooked, Xu Dong picked up a lettuce leaf, put two pieces of roasted pork belly and some vegetables on it, and then wrapped it whole.
"See, wrap it in lettuce leaves and eat it, so that you won't get tired of eating."
"Daddy, I want to eat." Lele was anxious again.
Xu Dong smiled and stuffed the wrapped barbecue into the mouth of the little padded jacket.
"It's a little hot, eat it slowly."
Mother Xu also wrapped a barbecue for her eldest grandson, and then beckoned everyone to do it themselves.
"Well, it's delicious!" Ma Xu said happily.
Ma Lingling's movements were also very fast, she wrapped one by herself in three or five clicks, smelling the smell of meat, she couldn't bear it anymore, and bit down violently.
Hiss......
The pork belly is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy; The vegetables are tender and refreshing, soaked in fat.
The two are mixed together, and the delicious ones almost make you cry.
Xu Dong continued to be in charge of the barbecue, and he couldn't spare his hands for a while, Yang Lina didn't eat it herself, so she hurriedly wrapped one for her husband.
After serving her husband, she fed a little meat to each of the triplets, otherwise the three little ones would cry, and it would be unbearable.
Halfway through, Dad Xu finally came back.
"Grandpa, come and eat the barbecue, the barbecue is so delicious." Ma Lingling swallowed the last bite of meat and said.
Dad Xu looked at the juniors who were gobbling up and felt comforted, "Don't worry about me, I'll go to the kitchen to drink saliva, and you can continue to eat!" β
Come back after drinking water.
Xu Dong roasted a little chicken breast for his father, Xu Dad is old, and he has a slight three-high problem, and big fish and big meat are no longer suitable for him.
"Dad, how does it taste?"
"It's okay, it's just a little light, didn't you put salt?"
Xu Ma brought over a plate of meat sauce:
"Try this."
Dad Xu did so, and then nodded with satisfaction: "It's really delicious." β
"Dad, why did you get off work so late today, something happened in the store?" Xu Dong asked.
"Nope." Dad Xu shook his head and said, "I discussed something with Ma Jun temporarily." β
"What's the matter, it's been so long to discuss?"
"Ahem, that's right, the store has been doing a good job lately, and it's making some money. Therefore, Ma Jun proposed to buy a car and install a faΓ§ade to make it easier to negotiate business. Dad Xu replied.
"Is it necessary? There are only seven or eight employees in your store. β
Mother Xu immediately interjected: "Son, you haven't been to our store for a long time, and now there are almost more than 20 people." β
"Twenty-eight people, including me." Dad Xu confirmed.
Xu Dong's face was a little embarrassed, but he was quickly replaced by doubt: "Twenty-eight people? There are only more than 80 square meters in our store, can you fit it? β
"It's okay, there are eighteen people who are salesmen, mainly running business outside, and don't usually work in the store." Dad Xu explained.
