Chapter 57: There is a barbecue tonight

Xu Cong'an rarely goes down the mountain now. Every day, he brings tension and Xiping to help Qi Niang raise sheep, plant herbs, pick mushrooms, and teach two children to identify several error-prone herbs and poisonous herbs, and does not expect anything to be taught, so he is leisurely and very satisfied.

Occasionally, when I go down the mountain, all the families in the village greet me respectfully. The folk customs are simple, which is different from the previous scenes. Although it is boring, it is acceptable.

When you come down the mountain, you will often bring some wild vegetables or wild animals that are occasionally picked by everyone doesn't know. Xue sees that he naturally makes some fresh food for him, and then pickles some refreshing pickles and let him take them to the mountain.

Originally, Zhou Bo wanted Er Niang to buy a child to give to Xu Cong'an, but Xu Cong'an said that he was used to idle clouds and wild cranes. If he wanted a pharmacist, he would have had it long ago.

Xiauniang will also regularly take Qian'er, the newly bought girl Lian'er, and a mother to live in the mountain together for a day or two.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Even though Xu Cong'an himself does not attach importance to this festival, Bai Jianran still sent someone to invite him down the mountain. When I arrived at the Zhou family, I wanted to bring some snacks made by Xuejian before leaving, but I heard that a word often appeared in the mouths of the servants of the Zhou family, barbecue! When everyone said these two words, they looked drooling, and several little guys couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Barbecue, Xu Cong'an knows that this may be the most primitive way of cooking for human beings. To put it bluntly, it is to cook food or meat on the fire until it is edible. Isn't it snow that saw that this girl came up with something new?

After several subordinates were getting farther away, Xu Cong'an quickly asked the little Qi Niang beside him, "What's the matter with this barbecue?"

"This barbecue is naturally a new way to eat that Xuejian came up with!" Speaking of this, Xiao Qiniang squeezed her lips and smiled, and also looked excited. She said that it was a new eating method developed by Xuejian, and it was still slowly improving. She tried it two or three times. The taste was extremely attractive, which made the family like it from top to bottom.

"Sir, why don't we have a barbecue today and go to the county tomorrow?" The little Qi Niang, who knew the teacher's heart, turned her eyes and knew that the master was a greedy old naughty boy.

"This is natural," Xu Cong'an said as a matter of course and glanced around. "Wouldn't it be too choked if it was a barbecue in the house?"

"Where do you want to go, sir?" Xiao Qiniang lowered her head and smiled, "It's barbecue in the side courtyard."

"I haven't been down the mountain for a long time, but I didn't know you had a new pattern!" Xu Cong'an laughed and said that he was not afraid that others would say that he was greedy, and that food was the first necessity of the people.

Now the Zhou family is gradually increasing, so they usually eat in their own courtyard, which is much less interesting than before.

"Snow saw that this season is the most pleasant autumn." Lian'er, the inconspicuous little girl beside Xiao Qiniang, helped him bring tea. "It's suitable for barbecue in the courtyard."

"The barbecue that Xuejian came up with is different from the kind of barbecue I've heard before. It's really delicious." Looking at Xiao Qiniang's greedy appearance, Xu Cong'an smiled secretly. His medical skills were just plain, and the problem of being picky was close to himself. He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "Xue saw what this little girl thought of, from food to use, all of which are amazing after trying!"

"Sir, you said it so well that Lian'er suddenly said what she wanted to say but couldn't express. Sir, it's really awesome!" Lian'er beside Xiao Qiniang bent her knees slightly and praised the two people in one sentence. This Lian'er is not stupid. She clapped her hands and said, "Xue saw that her sister said that the barbecue oven has been improved again tonight, and everyone will be blessed again tonight."

"No," Qian'er around Qi Niang also said with a smile. Unlike her mother's weak and strong inner strength, Qian'er is completely weak, but not as clever as this new flat-looking and slightly dark-skinned pity.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong. Xiao Qi Niang accompanied Xu Cong'an to go to the side courtyard to inspect the preparation of the barbecue.

"Look, sir, that round iron shelf is for barbecue." As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw several scattered iron shelves. The round outline has a large capacity and is generally separated by two layers of hood nets. Lian'er immediately told Xu Cong'an.

"It's really interesting," several people looked around the barbecue rack. This shelf is two-layered and can be used for braised and smoked respectively. The iron shelf also has a handle, which makes it easy to change its position at will during the barbecue. Xu Cong'an smiled and had to praise, "It's still Xuejian girl's delicate and thoughtful."

Little Qiniang and Lian'er Qian'er both laughed, "No," Lian'er said, "This handle was added by the young master after the last barbecue." Xu Cong'an was embarrassed and pretended to lower his head and continue to watch the shelf. Because this shelf is very large, it is convenient for several people to operate at the same time, creating a happy atmosphere to enter together. He can also bake food as soon as possible. After all, there are many people.

"What is this?" Anyway, it's shameful. Let's just ask. Xu Cong'an pointed to the wooden shelves stretched out on both sides of the iron shelf and asked slowly.

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

"Well, I just tested you, but I didn't expect you to be really ignorant! This wooden shelf can put some plates and food. Is it so simple that you can't see it? Xu Cong'an scolded them. Just after a closer look, he guessed that this was to reduce people's traffic.

"Sir is really smart! De'er admires it!" Qi Niang raised the corners of her mouth and looked at the gentleman in front of her with bright eyes. She really admired her husband, not only medical skills.

"The slaves are the same," Lian'er and Qian'er looked at each other, took a step back, and said in unison, "I admire you so much!"

"Well, this is not necessary. I'm 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 it." He confessed modestly. At this time, Xue Jian was not there. If Xue Jian was there, he would definitely help him make up for his unfinished words. Don't worship brother. He is just a legend.

"Actually, we have learned a little," the three little girls are so happy that it's not easy to try to calm down. "Sir is really a god!"

"There is still some distance between me and immortals," Xu Cong'an said, "I'd better be a mortal, just do it!"

Qiniang and Lian'er have been familiar with Xu Cong'an for a long time, and Xiao Qiniang has a good temper with him, so he also likes to tease these children. If he is an outsider, he is a superior magic doctor.

As the sun sets to the west, there are more busy people in the courtyard. There are many ingredients to prepare for the barbecue, so not only the kitchen, but also other mothers and idle girls come to help.

"Fortunately, there are many people in the family," Xu Cong'an pulled the corners of his mouth gently. "It looks like a big meal!"

Zhou's mother took people to prepare various ingredients. Xu Cong'an paced by himself and saw that the clean pork tenderloin, chicken breast, beef and mutton were even more necessary. There were also some field chicken, which had to brighten his eyes. There were also several kinds of fish and shrimp, tofu, mushrooms, green peppers and other barbecue food that ordinary people absolutely did not think of, all of which were cut into small pieces. Similar length.

"Mr. Xu? When did Mr. Xu go down the mountain? Zhou's mother was busy and said hello to him, "Mr. Xu is really blessed. Let's have a barbecue today!"

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

In addition, Du's mother took several people to prepare several different sauces and minced garlic.

"Don't ask, this is naturally a snowy sauce, isn't it?" Xu Cong'an is in a good mood.

"Snow said that this sauce has been tried twice and tastes good, so I specially put it in small porcelain bottles and was thinking of sending it up the mountain." After all the beef and mutton kebabs of Zhou Ma and others over there were skewered with bamboo sticks, the people on Du Ma's side skillfully mixed the meat in the sauce and soaked them for a while. Du's mother looked up and said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, ask Miss Seven!"

"Du's mother is right. Because she just started the barbecue, she was afraid that it would taste bad, so she adjusted it several times." Naturally, Qi Niang also said with a smile, "When I come back, I will accompany my husband to barbecue on the mountain, which also makes Brother Zhang Li more motivated to hunt!"

Xu Cong Anlian nodded, fresh game, with Xuejian exclusive sauce, a pot of meat and a string of wine in the empty place of the villa, isn't it good? Very much! It is!"

"That won't work!" Du's mother straightened her face and waved her hand and said, "It's autumn. The weather is getting colder and colder. You can't live on the mountain often!"

"Brother Zhang Li and Brother Xiping also live on the mountain?" Qi Niang didn't care, "What's more, there is a gentleman, and you won't be afraid of getting sick!" This is Doctor Xu!

"My good sister!" Du's mother said anxiously, "Sister Xian heard it carefully, and she scolded again!"

Qiniang knew her sister, so she had to stick out her tongue and dared not talk in front of Du's mother.

"The sun hasn't completely gone down yet. Sister De'd better sit under the tree," Du's mother glanced at the tree. Small tables had been placed under the lime tree and hurriedly urged Qi Niang, "It's about to start roasting. It's carefully smoked."

"It's time to change the sauce," his men said, and his men were not idle. All chickens, pheasants, quail, suckling pigeons and other foods such as chicken wings, chicken tips, chicken legs, duck wings, etc. were ordered to change the sauce and mix them well.

The fish is worn into half a piece of fish, picked out the thorns, and then changed to minced garlic and soaked.

The ribs have also been changed to the sauce.

Several vegetables and bracts have sauce.

"There are so many sauces?" These different sauces with different meat and dishes dazzled Xu Cong'an, but he saw that everyone was orderly, enthusiastic, talking and laughing, and obviously cooperated for a long time. If it's not delicious, there's no reason!"

At this time, the tiger, with several children, has prepared and lit the pear charcoal. When the charcoal fully burns the transparent red heat, then digs the charcoal fire with pliers and spread it into a thick layer of fire.

The girls with eye contact went back to the room one after another to invite the masters. When Zhou Bo sat down in his seat with a blank face, the barbecue meal officially began!
