Chapter 35: Barbecue
Hu Changan listened, and he was a little stunned.
This Fang Xiaoru is inevitably too upright.
He just said a few words casually, and this person was directly ready to pull him to work as a coolie?
No, no, no, that's not going to work.
His Hu Changan's goal is the sea of stars, how can he run to see the child?
Hu Changan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Fang, this is absolutely unacceptable!" In the lower level of knowledge, don't mistake people's children and delay the princes and grandchildren. ”
"My virtue in Yingtian City before, Mr. Fang, you must have heard of it, how can such a profligate person be the teacher of the princes?"
Seeing that Fang Xiaoru couldn't be more serious, Hu Changan hurriedly resorted to the Dafa of Escape, and even did not hesitate to dispel Fang Xiaoru's terrible idea of self-deprecation.
However, Fang Xiaoru was not an old man who was not up to Hu Changan, so he bowed and said with a straight look: "Master Hu, as the old saying goes, knowing mistakes can be changed, and kindness is great." ”
"Everyone is young and crazy, I believe that with Hu Gongzi's knowledge, the previous nonsense was just a momentary mood."
"And Hu Gongzi didn't have enough knowledge before, but now he is better than me, and he is coming from behind, isn't this more worthy of learning from the princes?"
At this time, Hu Changan was completely numb, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I really can't help it, Mr. Fang, I am the emperor's order, if I can't complete His Majesty's task of planting potatoes, it will be over." ”
Seeing that Hu Changan had raised the emperor's order, Fang Xiaoru could only sigh heavily, and said regretfully: "Master Hu, when you finish planting potatoes, you must consider coming over to teach." Childe, your insights into Confucianism are so profound, wouldn't it be a good thing if more people could know about it? ”
Hu Changan saluted regretfully on the surface, but in fact, he was ecstatic in his heart.
Hehe, he's most annoying to take care of children, Mr. Fang, you'd better never think about it.
After saying goodbye to Fang Xiaoru, Hu Changan casually told the little beans a few words, and walked out of the classroom quickly.
That back, it is not an exaggeration to say that he fled in the wilderness.
From now on, I won't just run around anymore.
......
It was another cool afternoon, and the three farmers were sitting under the eaves to enjoy the cold, chatting with each other by the way.
Today, the potato field is already lush.
In a patch of green, there are even a few small lilac flowers scattered sporadically, which is pleasing to the eye.
It won't be long before we can usher in a happy harvest!
In the distance, a figure in a light brown robe carrying a large basket of things was stumbling towards the potato field, it was Hu Changan.
Seeing this, the three peasants hurriedly got up and helped Hu Changan put things on the open space on the side.
Recently, Hu Changan has been transporting all kinds of strange things back from outside the palace, and the three peasants are now not surprised.
In the clearing, a large pile of various things has already been piled up.
Among them, a square tin box is the most conspicuous.
Next to the iron box was a pile of wooden blocks that had been split into small pieces, as well as many small bamboo sticks.
And what Hu Changan has in his hands is all kinds of meat and vegetables.
Riding the tail of autumn, Hu Changan is ready to cook a barbecue in the palace.
Although the imperial meals served in the palace are made of solid ingredients, most of them are stewed.
If you eat too much, your mouth will naturally feel a little greasy.
And the imperial dining room is far away from here, and every time the food is delivered, it is already cold.
To make matters worse, the use of open flames was forbidden in the palace, and even ordinary heating could not be done.
There is a layer of solidified fat floating on the cold broth, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to eat.
Every time, Hu Changan eats well on the surface, and his heart explodes on the spot.
Hu Changan even felt that he had lost a few pounds in the past few months.
Seeing that the potatoes were also blooming, Hu Changan decided to treat himself well today and make a good meal.
For this reason, Hu Changan specially redeemed a "Field Simple Oven Installation Guide" from the system mall, and is waiting to show his skills today!
Hu Changan saw that the preparations were almost ready, so he called the three peasants over and said to them mysteriously: "Today, the master invites you to have a good meal!" ”
When the three peasants heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they became visibly nervous.
Among them, Zhang San was the most timid, and as soon as Hu Changan's voice fell, he stammered and asked, "Young master, is there ...... in this palace But it's forbidden to use open flames! If we were caught, we would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and it was not impossible that we would even be locked up! ”
Thinking of the legendary dark and terrifying prison, Zhang San couldn't help but shiver with a strong heart.
When the other two peasants heard this, they were also related, and the three pairs of eyes were firmly staring at Hu Changan, afraid that Hu Changan would ask them to make a fire.
And Hu Changan seemed to have anticipated their question, and said lightly: "It's okay, the dishes I cook will definitely not have an open flame." ”
The three peasants breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they are also more curious about Hu Changan's dishes.
This doesn't use an open flame, how to cook it? Could it be that it can't be eaten raw?
And as the saying goes, a gentleman cooks far away, this Hu Gongzi looks like a weak son of a family, and he doesn't look like the kind of person who often cooks, can this dish be delicious?
Hu Changan saw the puzzled expressions of the three peasants, but he smiled confidently.
Oh, wait a minute, you will definitely not be able to find the north.
Under the puzzled eyes of the three peasants, Hu Changan took out the bamboo skewers on the side, skewered the mutton cut into small pieces on it, and beckoned to the three of them: "Come on, come on, come with me to get this skewer, otherwise it will be too late to burn." ”
The three peasants looked at this strange long lot, and the second monk was also puzzled.
Do you need to use bamboo skewers for cooking?
Can you use this strange thing without pots and pans?
But it's strange, after all, it was the young master's order, and the three peasants couldn't say anything, so they had to follow Hu Changan's example, pick up the bamboo sticks on the side and string them together.
When four people work together, the efficiency is high.
After a while, all the meat and vegetables in the basket were gone.
Instead, there are neat meat skewers arranged on the linen cloth on the side.
Hu Changan wiped his sweat, took the firewood on the side and put it in the tin box, lit the firewood with a fire, and covered the lid of the tin box.
This iron box was specially asked by Hu Changan to be made by the blacksmiths in the city.
Like the simple barbecue grills of later generations, this iron box is sealed on three sides and is topped by a removable grid to facilitate the addition of firewood and barbecue things.
Originally, Hu Changan wanted to use charcoal fire to make barbecue.
However, today's coal is very dusty when burned, and it is far less clean than the anthracite coal of later generations.
As for bamboo charcoal, although Hu Changan can make it, it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
In order to satisfy his appetite as soon as possible, Hu Changan simply chose economical and simple wood, imitating the old Beijing fruit wood roast duck, and made do with a bite first.
