Chapter 220 BBQ Party
In the middle of the night, a thin black shadow sneaked under the tree.
Qian Wuliang, who was napping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and saw a thin boy standing in front of him.
"Xiao Wu!" Qian Wuliang was very happy, "Help me untie the rope!"
"Brother Wuliang, I...I dare not..." Xiaowu took two steps back in fear.
"Don't worry, he won't blame you if I leave!" Qian Wuliang whispered.
"I know, but I can't let my brother go. My brother is a good person, and the young master is also a good person. Our life is saved by my brother, but the young master takes us in to give me food and clothing, and can also go to the construction site to work and earn money. Xiaowu... Xiaowu doesn't know who to help..."
Qian Wuliang sighed and said in a bad mood: "You are just a scheming person! You can't let me go, just make some water and I'll drink it!"
Xiao Wu lowered his head and refused to speak.
Qian Wuliang was completely desperate, and shook his head with his head down and said, "You go back to sleep and take good care of your younger brother and sister. After this time, I will leave Yanggong Town. From now on, you will live a good life with Zhao Dalang. Remember, you must live well!"
"Brother Wuliang..." Xiaowu sobbed in a low voice.
"Why are you crying? I remember you never cried. Go, don't worry about me!" Qian Wuliang said nodded.
"Brother Wuliang, the young master will not give you food and water, and we will not eat and drink water either. The young master will be hungry for a few days, and we will go hungry together. I hope my brother won't blame the young master, and... you... you shouldn't have stuffed your sweat towel into his mouth at the beginning..."
Qian Wuliang looked up at the sky depressedly, and muttered to Xingyue in the sky: "I just want to earn five taels of silver. How could I think of him and Wu Qian as my backer? This time you are a blessing in disguise. It's good to follow him. Don't be hungry with me. Tell your younger brothers and sisters not to hate Zhao Dalang because of me!"
"Don't brother hate the young master?" Xiaowu asked with his shoulders twitching.
"What do you hate him? I punched him a few times that day and stuffed him with a sweat towel for a long time. Today he caught me and beat me up would be considered flat... Damn it, these socks are too smelly, bah~"
"It's good if you don't hate the young master, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, you all come here..." Xiaowu turned around and waved to the darkness, and seven or eight older children tiptoed over slowly.
"You have heard what Brother Wuliang said just now?" Xiaowu asked softly.
"I heard it!" The children nodded together.
"Don't hate the young master in the future. We are the older brothers for a few days. We are not allowed to eat and drink water, nor are we allowed to let the young master know!"
"good!"
Qian Wu glared at him and said, "You all go back to sleep, too lazy to see you!"
"Then we...we're leaving!" Xiaowu lowered his head and stammered, then slowly disappeared into the night with a few children.
"It's all a bunch of unscrupulous guys, and I don't even have a sip of water!"
Qian Wuliang licked his dry lips, then swallowed his throat and lowered his head, and soon a slight snoring sounded.
In his sleep, Qian Wuliang dreamed that he was sitting in a luxurious and spacious restaurant, with the dining table filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, as well as various wines, especially roasted beef and mutton, which exuded a strong fragrance and was still making noise.
"It smells so good..." Qian Wuliang opened his mouth and took a bite at the barbecue skewers and found that he had bitten it. He woke up in a daze and found that the sky was already bright. In the morning covered by the thin autumn mist, a black and thin boy was standing in front of him less than two feet away, holding a few fragrant skewers in his hand and eating it smelled good.
"You... can you be more shameless? You actually eat barbecue early in the morning?" Qian Wuliang felt that he was so hungry that he lost weight all over. He looked at Zhao Qi, who was eating bite after bite and mouthful, and kept swallowing.
If his eyes could kill people, Zhao Qi would probably have died five, six, seven or eight times at this time.
"Are you hungry?" Zhao Qi asked happily while biting the barbecue.
"Hungry!"
"Is it fragrant?"
"fragrant!"
"Hold on!" Zhao Qi slowly bite a few barbecue skewers, then inserted bamboo sticks one by one on the trunks on both sides of Qian Wuliang's head, and then clapped his hands and slowly returned to the cave.
There was a pretty and weak woman standing at the entrance of the cave, and both Xiaozhu and Baoer were hiding behind her.
Seeing Zhao Qi coming back with a proud look on his face, A Lian was amused and crying.
In the past, she thought that although Zhao Qi was young, she was mature in her mind and steady in doing things, and was like a little adult, and she had completely inconsistent with his age. However, her performance this morning made her suddenly realize that Zhao Qi seemed to have recovered her teenage character. She actually got up to barbecue before dawn, with the purpose of running to Qian Wuliang to show off.
Ermazi and Ermao and others ran over early in the morning, and they were all still in a state of bruised nose and swollen eyes. Seeing Qian Wuliang being tied to a tree, they all commented proudly and then went to the construction site together. Yang Dayuan, Yang Dahu and others didn't know yesterday, but after they found out in the morning, they also ran over to see it. They learned that Zhao Qi was not going to send him to the official, so they all told him a few words before leaving.
Xiao Wu didn't go to the construction site for several mornings. After everyone was exposed, he brought a group of children to come and cried around Qian Wuliang, which made Xiao Zhu and Baoer follow behind to wipe their tears, but Zhao Qi was unmoved.
Zhao Qi was very busy all day after that, but he was not working, but cooking delicious food.
I made a fish cage under the pond early in the morning, and then went to the blacksmith shop.
Then he took a group of bigger children to the ditch to touch a large bucket of snails, put them in a wooden basin and raised them with some salt and water.
Then he went to the town with Xiaojiu and Xiaoba and others to buy a fat intestine, a large piece of pork belly, a few pig ears, more than ten kilograms of ribs, a fat chicken, and a dozen kilograms of wine and a lot of seasonings.
After returning home, I washed the pig's ears and put them on a crock pot. After cutting all the pork belly with pork belly, I used a secret marinade to make it. Then I cut two large bamboos into bamboo sticks, and let a group of children skewers all the pork belly with bamboo sticks.
While a group of children were busy, Zhao Qi made several seasoning tubes with bamboo tubes and filled the fine salt, pepper noodles, pepper noodles, mustard, etc. he bought. Originally, Zhao Qi wanted to buy some cumin, but unfortunately, Yanggong Town had no money to sell. I heard that it was only available in the north, and they were all shipped from Liao and Jin countries, which were very expensive. The nobles in the capital were willing to use it when they were eating mutton.
Without cumin, Zhao Qi could only settle it, but there were no peppers at the moment, so Zhao Qi could only use mustard instead.
It was noon soon.
Zhao Qi came and left with a group of children.
Qian Wuliang was tied to the tree and was thirsty and hungry. Although some children felt sorry for him, they were afraid of Zhao Qi. They could only look at Qian Wuliang with a very careful look when they came and went. They had innocent expressions and were helpless, and they were also very excited because the young master said he wanted to invite them to barbecue.
Everything was ready. Zhao Qi took a few children to the blacksmith shop and carried a iron barbecue grill back. He also brought more than ten kilograms of charcoal from the blacksmith shop. He placed the barbecue grill in the open space in front of the cave and began to fan the flames to prepare for barbecue.
Soon A Lian took out the charcoal lit in the stove and put it into the barbecue rack with a shovel. Zhao Qi also put on his apron and began to fiddle with the barbecue. As the faint blue smoke rose in the wind, a strong barbecue fragrance spread in front of the cave.
"Gudong~"
"Gudong~"
Zhao Qi grilled the skewers, and the grease fell on the charcoal fire. With the smell of secret marinade, a group of onlookers began to swallow their saliva. A Lian held Baoer and stood beside him and watched without blinking his eyes. Xiaozhu took a fan and helped stir up the fire. The little tongue, who was also seduced by the fragrance, kept lipsticking. Even Mrs. Su was seduced from the cave by the fragrance, and stood behind a group of children with a crutch. She looked at it with signs of drooling.
It is very familiar to Zhao Qi when eating skewers late at night. On the street, I have a handful of pork ribs, lotus roots, rabbit waists, and a few bottles of beer. I can brag about the awesomeness of the night with a few buddies.
Therefore, skewers are not only a delicacy, but also a life attitude.
The time to eat skewers is the most relaxed and happy time.
The Song Dynasty was indeed an era full of food, but compared to the era familiar to Zhao Qi, it seemed much more barbaric and primitive. At least in terms of food production and taste, the characteristics were not distinct enough, and many ways of eating were not mature enough.
After traveling through time, Zhao Qi hadn't found anyone cooking skewers, but someone sold barbecue.
