Chapter 59: Barbecue (2)
"I'll go back and recommend you a few foreign suspense writers." Tao You walked back slowly.
"I've seen a little bit of Keigo Higashino before." Zhou Moyang followed her and said.
Tao You's eyes lit up and he smiled: "I like his books too!" Which of his books do you like best? She was especially excited to meet a like-minded classmate and had endless words to say.
Zhou Moyang listened to Tao You's words quietly, and responded to a few words from time to time, his expression was full of smiles.
Song Yimian, who was not far away, kept staring at the two of them, and muttered unhappily: "What do you say so happily, I don't have so many words with me, I am so happy to talk to an unfamiliar person, look, look, this laughing, tsk, ill-intentioned." ”
Tao Youguang was chatting, didn't pay attention to her feet, and accidentally stepped on the air, Zhou Moyang reacted very quickly and held her shoulder.
"Where do you put your hand, let me put it down!" Song Yimian threw the branch in his hand to the ground, his eyes were firmly fixed on the hand on Tao You's arm, he didn't turn around, his eyes showed a fierce light, but the voice was not very loud, the protagonist didn't hear it, but the classmates around him heard it clearly, and even were frightened by his sudden sound, seeing his look, no one dared to joke with him, and no one stepped forward to ask one or two, and turned around and continued to care about himself.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Moyang held Tao You and asked with concern.
Tao You moved his ankle, it didn't hurt at all, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
In the next second, Zhou Moyang let go of his hand, and Song Yimian, who was not far away, also broke the branches, but his eyes were still staring at them without blinking.
Tao You and Zhou Moyang laughed and threw the newly picked up branches to the ground, and Song Yimian was cleaning up.
"Is there a lighter? Would you like to pick up some leaves? Tao You patted the dust off his hands and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
"Nope." Song Yimian folded the branches and spoke lazily.
Tao You and Zhou Moyang were stunned, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
"So, how do we bake it? Does anyone else have one? Tao You felt that it was really ridiculous, there was no fire, what was the use of picking up more branches, she said and looked around, some students squatted in a circle, their heads together, not knowing what they were doing.
"I'll go to the store and ask if there's a lighter or alcohol or something." Zhou Moyang stood up as he spoke, clapping his hands, "Tao You, do you want to go together?" ”
Song Yimian threw down the branch in his hand, raised his eyes to look at him, sneered, and said unceremoniously: "Just graduated from kindergarten? Ask for something to be accompanied. ”
Zhou Moyang stood there awkwardly, neither walking, nor stopping, and said in a dry voice: "Then I'll go by myself, Tao You, you can rest here for a while, it's very tiring to pick up branches." ”
Tao You kicked Song Yimian twice, "Can you talk well, eat gunpowder for you, who made you unhappy?" ”
Song Yimian was wrong from the beginning of picking up branches, as if the breath he was holding back was finally vented, Tao You searched in his mind, he didn't provoke him in the past few days, could it be ......
An immature thought appeared in Tao You's mind, could it be that he was sleeping in the car just now, saliva was flowing on his clothes, and he was unhappy? But didn't you just say that it's okay, and your heart is different? Or is it a reflection arc length? Or is it an aunt-in-law, emotionally unstable?
After thinking about it again and again, Tao You confirmed that it was not himself who made Song Yimian angry, and he didn't have the leisure to coax him, "Ignore him, give him what he is used to, and I'll go with you." After Tao You finished speaking, he pulled Zhou Moyang and was about to leave.
Song Yimian suddenly raised his hand, pressed it on the hand held by the two, and slowly got up, "When you come back, and then think of the time when you go to ask the boss, the things have already been taken by others." As he spoke, he took out a lighter and four small pieces of solid alcohol from the bag on one side.
"You didn't take it sooner!" Tao Youqi was furious, "Childish! She pressed down her hands that had been clenched into fists, and turned to find Hong Xiqi, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be so angry that she would beat him on the spot.
"How's it going over here?" Tao You stood by the lake, poked his head out and asked the two people who were still washing vegetables by the lake.
There are many small holes by the lake that have smashed the ice, which should have been used by others, and now only Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi are still washing vegetables here.
Hong Xiqi raised his wrinkled hands, which were soaked in ice water, and said with a bitter face: "Xiao Youyou, my hands are frozen and unconscious, come and help us." ”
Tao You approached, and saw that Gu Yi next to him was not much better, one hand shrunk in the pocket of his clothes, and the other hand trembled, pinching the edge of the dish with his index finger and thumb, and casually rinsing it in a small piece of water with the ice removed, he picked it up and put it aside, Hong Xiqi picked up his good dish and soaked it in the water again, as if he could wash all the dirty things in this way.
"Can you wash it clean when it's so sloppy?" Tao You asked, but got the complicated eyes of the two of them, "You come".
There were a lot of unwashed dishes next to him, Tao You took down his trouser legs, squatted down next to Gu Yi, took a corn, smashed the fragile layer of ice, and boldly put his hand in to wash the corn, and the next second he quickly withdrew his hand with a fierce face, and Gu Yi and Hong Xiqi on the side laughed, as if to say, 'As I expected, this is the road we have walked.'"
Tao You put the corn aside, covered his hands and put them in front of his mouth, and melted the coolness. The water in Pinghu Lake is far colder than Tao You imagined, not the kind of cold that is cold on the surface, it is cold that drills into the bones from all directions, it is so cold that it hurts, and if you have the first time, you don't want to have a second time. It would have been cool in the summer, but it's winter.
Tao You decisively chose to follow Gu Yi and Hong Xiqi's lazy method, pinched the tail of the corn cob, turned around in the water a few times, and then handed it to Gu Yi: "That's it, it's not clean, it's not sick after eating." ”
Near noon, the sun gradually rose overhead, and many people were sweating, but the water of Pinghu Lake was still cold as usual, and the ice on the water surface showed no signs of melting.
"No," Tao You rummaged through the bag and said suspiciously, "Isn't there any meat?" How is it all a dish? No wonder you're so slow to wash. ”
"Yes, there is no meat, this bag is full of vegetables." Hong Xiqi pointed at Gu Yi and said, "He did a good job." ”
Gu Yi put down the dishes in his hand and said innocently: "I don't blame me, I don't know that this bag is full of vegetables, the bag is green, I look big, it's quite heavy, I thought there would be a little more meat, who knows it's all vegetables, I really don't blame me." ”
"What about the meat?" Tao You is more concerned about this, "Don't you even give us meat to eat." ”
Gu Yi bowed his chin to the group of people gathered in front of the stone table, and said, "The meat is all there, and they are skewering after washing." ”
"We'll bake it together later."
Hong Xiqi threw down the eggplant and said angrily: "Yes, everyone is skewering, and we haven't finished washing it yet." You want to roast together, will the family wait for us? I've already finished eating myself, who is waiting for you. ”
"Don't worry, I'll let you eat this meat today." Gu Yi put down his cruel words, "I will definitely get it for you at my own expense." ”
The three of them finally finished washing the dishes, moved to the stone table, sat down on the side, and raised their heads and pounded their waists.
Tao You held her breath and waited for the sourness to pass, the cold wind blew, with the smell of barbecue meat, Tao You took a deep breath, her stomach growled, she clenched her cold hands and let go, and saw that Song Yimian had already lit the fire not far away, and urged: "Hurry up, Song Yimian and they have all made the fire, I'm so hungry." ”
The speed of the three of them was very fast, and after a while, two large pots had already been skewered, and Gu Yi took the basins to other groups to exchange food.
"Teacher Wen, didn't you say there is no coal?" The students all followed the fragrance and surrounded several teachers. They have just started to bake, and they can't grasp the heat well, and they have pasted several skewers, and several teachers here have already started eating, and the head teacher is standing in front of the barbecue grill, constantly turning the skewers, sprinkling spices from time to time, and the action is very skillful, "Yes, this is the only surviving batch of coal, we bought it ourselves, what's wrong." ”
"Teacher, you said earlier, we don't have to work so hard to make a fire, we can also buy it."
"That's it, Mr. Wen, it's so late, ours hasn't been baked yet, and the ones just now are all mushy, you can help us bake a little." A classmate stared at the grilled chicken wings in the head teacher's hand and kept swallowing.
"Nope." The head teacher refused cruelly without hesitation, and the movements of his hands did not stop, "Grill what you want to eat, do your own things, and the barbecue you choose." ”
"yes, but we don't know if we're roasting it ourselves, or if it's like this." One classmate's voice was quiet, but it was enough for people in the vicinity to hear it.
The head teacher put the grilled chicken wings on the plate, circled around in front of everyone before putting them on the table, and ate them slowly
Come.
The classmates stared at them so much that their eyeballs were about to fall out, and the rumbling of their stomachs was up and down.
"Don't even look at it, you know it's hungry and don't go to roast it. Walk around and don't interfere with what we eat. The head teacher drove everyone away.
Here, Gu Yi took advantage of the fact that they were all gathered in front of the head teacher, took a lot of meat skewers and put them on his plate, and then gave them to Song Yimian, who was in charge.
"I can't see that the head teacher still has this hand." Hong Xiqi said enviously.
Gu Yi waved his hand, patted Song Yimian's shoulder, and said confidently, "Eh, with Brother Mian here, you don't have to envy others, his barbecue skills are definitely this." As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up in front of the three of them.
Song Yimian lowered his head and flipped the skewers, his movements were no less skillful than those of the head teacher, and the slightly long bangs were in front of him, and he could only see the corners of his straight mouth.
Tao Youhuan stood on the side, concentrating on admiring the pair of beautiful hands that turned the skewers, Song Yimian could surprise them every time, as if there was really nothing he wouldn't do, even barbecue, such a life thing can be done so skillfully, the key is that the movements are beautiful and pleasing to the eye, a food stall-level barbecue, in his hands, can give people a sense of a Michelin restaurant.
Song Yimian finished sprinkling the last barbecue ingredients, put the skewers on the plate, and handed them to Gu Yi.
"I'll take a picture later." Hong Xiqi stopped Gu Yi, who wanted to take the skewers, took out his mobile phone, and operated on the skewers.
"Okay?" Gu Yi couldn't wait.
Hong Xiqi finally took the last photo and said, "Okay, let's eat." ”
"Wow, Song Yimian, you bake it delicious!"
"You guys are still here, Song Yimian and they all started eating." The head teacher said to the crowd who were still around him, shifting the target.
Sure enough, the classmates all turned around and walked towards Tao You, and praised them: "Song Yimian, you are so good, you can also barbecue." ”
Many girls have stars in their eyes.
"Let's roast together," a girl raised her hand and said, "I probably know the heat of vegetables, I'll roast vegetables, Song Yimian, you roast meat, is it okay?" ”
After a few seconds, seeing that Song Yimian still didn't respond, everyone thought that there was no play, and just wanted to leave, thinking that the barbecue was not enough to eat today, but they saw him nodding. At this time, everyone's enthusiasm was high again.
"Then I'll barbecue too." Thinking that the boy volunteered, he walked towards the barbecue grill on the side.
"Then I'll come too, I've baked it a few times before, but it may not taste so good."
......
There were too many people, and the roasting speed was too slow, which was not enough for them to eat, so Song Yimian almost never stopped, roasting one plate after another. Tao You finally grabbed two skewers of roast beef and handed them to Song Yimian.
"I don't have empty hands, don't eat, you eat." Song Yimian tilted his head to avoid.
Tao You continued to follow him and said, "I'll feed you, if you don't eat it, you won't have the strength to roast." ”
Song Yimian looked at the meat skewers in front of him, then at Tao You, whose mouth was full of stuffed mouths, and opened his mouth to take a bite.
"What else do you want to eat, tell me, I'll help you grab it." Tao You swallowed the last bite and said.
"Xiao Youyou, Song Yimian is in a bad mood?" After eating and drinking, Hong Xiqi wiped his mouth and leaned into Tao You's ear and asked quietly.
Tao You glanced at Song Yimian, who was sitting opposite and playing with his mobile phone, and said, "You can see it too?" ”
Hong Xiqi gave Tao You a 'nonsense' look: "He has been keeping his face tight, and he can see it if his eyes are not blind, okay." Did you mess with him? ”
Tao You is really innocent: "I swear, there really isn't, it's not me!" It was fine when I came, and I also want to know why this uncle's mood suddenly turned cloudy, and I wonder if he is coming to my aunt. ”
Hong Xiqi glanced at Zhou Moyang, who was also looking down at his mobile phone diagonally, and looked back and forth between Song Yimian and Zhou Moyang a few times, touched his chin, squinted, and said leisurely: "Just now, you guys went to pick up branches, what happened?" Tell me about it, and I'll help you analyze it. ”
