Chapter 215 Out-of-Season Watermelon
Chen Zixuan happened to get a big board. It was clean and easy to prepare the seasonings. Just put coal on it.
"Then can I go to your house first?"
"You also know that I have no place to go here in the county."
She has already packed up her packages and cannot go in again, not to mention the people inside are waiting to see her embarrassed.
Zhang Wanqing doesn’t want to go into the factory anymore.
"Of course, let's go!"
Chen Zixuan didn't think too much and agreed directly. Since they didn't live together, he would go back tonight after resting.
Chen Zixuan took Zhang Wanqing to the rental house, and then washed, cut, and marinated the meat he bought today.
It's hot at noon now, but it's still very cold in the morning and evening. You don't have to worry about the meat going bad if you keep it for a long time.
Zhang Wanqing was washing vegetables outside, while he was cutting the pork belly into thin slices, not too big or too small.
About five pounds were cut into pieces, and the rest was salted first. He only had chili sauce, but not chili powder.
Chen Zixuan thought for a while and decided to stir-fry some chili powder first. There is no soul in dipping chili powder into it, it won't taste good at all.
"Please help me cut the minced garlic and ginger slices first."
After giving the instructions, Chen Zixuan took out a large basin of the previously dried millet peppers, put them in a cup and pounded them into powder, and finally heated a pot to dry out the water.
Do not put oil in it, just pour the mashed chili powder into it. The stove must be set on a low fire. This needs to be stir-fried slowly. Do not put too much heat, otherwise it will be easy to burn.
Just stir-fry for twenty minutes, and the chili powder is finally ready. At this time, there is a strong chili flavor.
Then grind the peanuts, add sesame seeds and chili powder, stir-fry, and put it in a small condiment plate.
Put each condiment on a plate.
Zhang Wanqing had already cut the minced garlic and ginger slices, and finally Chen Zixuan cut another garlic, which is almost a plate of garlic slices. A piece of garlic is very fragrant when eating barbecue.
It's a pity that I haven't prepared the spicy cabbage yet. Otherwise, if I add another spicy cabbage, it will be an even better match.
Put it all in an open space in the kitchen.
I set up a shelf over there and put the board on it. When it gets hot, I just put oil on it and bake it.
Look at these things quietly.
This is the first time I’ve met Zhang Wanqing.
She thought it was very innovative.
Chen Zixuan is so amazing, he can actually make so many things, many of which she has never seen before.
But Chen Zixuan can do it himself.
"What's this called?"
Chen Zixuan wiped his hands.
Pointing at the iron plate, he pointed at the plate of meat.
"This is barbecue, you'll find out later."
It's a pity that if it can be paired with beer, it would be a masterpiece. However, Chen Zixuan does have red wine, but it is not suitable here, and he can't take it out, so he can only enjoy it to himself.
No one else had gotten off work yet, and now that the two of them were face to face, Chen Zixuan felt awkward for the first time.
I even found that there was some ambiguity heating up in the air, as if hormones were secretly at work.
After Zhang Wanqing noticed it, she immediately turned around and looked at the door, but she couldn't let him notice her fiery eyes.
She found that no matter which side of Chen Zixuan, even if he lowered his head and looked at the food, he was very serious.
Or the way he is thinking, really no matter which way he looks, this man is like a person in a painting.
"Zixuan, do you have someone you like now?"
When asked this, Chen Zixuan, who was in a daze, was stunned, thought about it back and forth, shook his head and nodded again.
He himself doesn’t quite know.
However, he feels that currently the only ones with good senses are Zhang Wanqing and Zhang Yunxi, but I guess this is not because they like them.
I just feel like the two of us look pretty good.
Moreover, they all have good temperaments and are pleasant to look at. After all, people prefer to look at beautiful things.
Seeing Chen Zixuan shaking his head and nodding, Zhang Wanqing was a little surprised. Is this true or not?
"This... not yet!"
In the end, Chen Zixuan gave an answer.
Maybe this vague answer is a bit cruel to the person who asked the question, but Chen Zixuan still tells the truth from his heart.
Zhang Wanqing felt relieved but also a little regretful.
She didn't know what she was expecting just now.
"Zixuan, I'm here."
When Chen Zixuan heard Li Jie's voice, he quickly went over to open the door, and the two of them instantly escaped from the awkward atmosphere.
Chen Zixuan did not invite anyone else over tonight, that is, the three of them, all educated youths who went to the countryside together.
We came to the county town together and we have a deep friendship.
"It took you so long to get off work. I've prepared all the ingredients. Hey, now that everyone is here, let's get started."
Li Jie was surprised to see so much meat, and it was just the three of them. Did they finish eating that much?
Is it cooked and eaten at the same time? Li Jie was a little confused. This was his first time eating barbecue this way.
Chen Zixuan saw Li Jie's doubts.
He didn't say anything. Instead, he poured oil on the iron plate. After it was a little hot, he took a pair of chopsticks and picked up the raw meat.
The raw meat was spread all over the iron plate and it made a sizzling sound. Fortunately, he cut off the pig skin directly.
Otherwise, the grilled oil will splash on your face, which will be bad.
Then he turned it over again. Chen Zixuan took a piece of lettuce, dipped the freshly grilled pork belly in the dipping sauce and placed it on the lettuce. Finally, he took a piece of garlic and gently placed it on top.
Knead it into a piece and put it in Zhang Wanqing's bowl.
After all, it’s better for women to give priority.
"Just put it in your mouth and eat it."
Seeing that Zhang Wanqing was a little confused, Chen Zixuan wrapped another piece for himself, and Li Jie followed his example.
Just put it in your mouth and eat it.
"Yeah, delicious."
I don’t know if it’s because Chen Zixuan made it for her, but Zhang Wanqing thinks this barbecue is particularly delicious.
Zhang Wanqing also wrapped a piece for herself.
But it still feels like the taste is a bit lacking.
Eating barbecue alone, Chen Zixuan suddenly felt a little thirsty, and he suddenly thought of the ripe watermelon.
When he went in to get millet peppers, he found that many watermelons were ripe in the space field. He thought it would not be so fast.
He had never taken care of watermelons before.
"You guys eat first, I'll go into the house for a while."
Chen Zixuan walked into the house, locked it, entered the space, and picked a watermelon that felt particularly ripe. When he cut it open, he found that there were very few seeds. One watermelon only had about ten seeds.
What he hates most about eating watermelon is picking out the seeds.
I didn’t expect that this variety of watermelon has so few seeds. I don’t know if it’s like this or if it’s the same as others.
Put half of the watermelon aside and put the other half in a juicer. This juicer is like a cup and does not need to be plugged in, but it requires strength.
A large glass of watermelon juice was quickly squeezed.
Fortunately, he also had several new ceramic cups here. He squeezed three large cups in succession and took them out. He also cut the remaining watermelon into small pieces and put them on the plate.
Putting it on the tray and carrying it to the kitchen, when they saw what Chen Zixuan was holding, their eyes widened and they felt it was incredible.
"No way? This is really...watermelon?"
"Why are there still watermelons in this season?"
