Chapter 399 Charcoal BBQ



Su Qingluan didn't know that her unintentional action had saved her from a few bad romantic opportunities, but if she knew, she probably wouldn't have any extra reaction. She might even become even more aggressive and kill a chicken alive or something.

…even though she had done this before.

Seeing that everyone had returned, Su Qingluan said, "You guys go to my shop in town first," and then turned to look at the old employees who were there before, "They know the way. The rest of you just follow them. I'll go home first and then come chase you away."

As for whether the groups would secretly manipulate the quantity and quality of the fruit, Su Qingluan wasn't worried. Putting aside the unfounded talk of trust and honest folk customs, the simple mechanism of "competition and mutual supervision between groups" eliminated the possibility of any group cheating.

Su Qingluan was not part of the main group, so she did not have to take care of people with relatively weak legs and feet, nor did she have to worry about the fruits on her back being damaged by the violent shaking. Therefore, her speed was relatively faster, and she soon took a shortcut and left the main group first and returned home.

Before he even entered the yard, he heard his mother yelling at his brother in a loud voice: "Su Erzhuang! Are you itching to get mad now that you've recovered from your illness?! Did you steal all the sesame salt your sister made?!"

"My sister ate it too..." Su Xuanhe argued unwillingly, but from his tone it was obvious that he felt very guilty.

Sure enough, the next moment, Yang's "Hedong Lion Roar" was heard: "Bullshit! How much did your sister eat? How much did you eat? Why don't you tell me clearly?!"

Su Qingluan was startled by her mother's foul language, then laughed out loud and quickened her pace towards the house. As a result, she heard the sound of people running and shouting in the yard.

"Mom, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time!"

"Stop right there, you bastard! I think you're almost well again, so go back to school tomorrow!"

Su Qingluan thought to herself outside the door: He looks so energetic and full of vigor, he must be getting better.

Even though her younger brother stole the dried shrimp and sesame salt that she spent half a day making yesterday, she wasn't very angry - as long as the shrimps could be caught, the making process itself was actually very simple and easy.

When Su Qingluan pushed open the gate of the yard, Su Xuanhe was just crawling under the big broom that Yang was using to sweep the yard and ran to the backyard.

Su Qingluan laughed so hard that she walked over to Yang and stroked her back, saying, "Mother, you've just recovered from your illness. Don't be angry with your brother. Anger is bad for your health."

Yang took a few breaths and slammed the broom into the ground with a dull thud. "That damned brat, because of her, I've shortened my life by ten years!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! May you live a long life and enjoy happiness in the future!" Su Qingluan quickly took off the bamboo basket on her back and handed it to him with a smile, "Here, you can have a snack tonight."

Su Qingluan was not idle in the bushes this morning. She searched everywhere and got a lot of rewards - two snakes, one of which was naturally the one with its head split open; more than twenty mushrooms, including oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. Su Qingluan was not sure about many of them, so she didn't pick them up to be on the safe side; there were also several wild fruits as big as ping-pong balls - they were edible, but Su Qingluan didn't know what they were called.

The texture of this fruit is a bit like a wild apple, but it is smaller in size and most of its body has turned red. It tastes sweet and sour.

However, this fruit itself is not a juicy berry, and Su Qingluan has experimented with it before, so this wild fruit is not suitable for making jam. Therefore, after heating, the original crispy texture becomes soft, and the flesh becomes sour, losing its original fragrance.

Actually, she still felt a little sorry. After all, if such large fruits could all be made into jam, how much cost would be saved...

Yang came over and looked inside the basket, then smiled and said, "Wow, we found quite a bit of food. We'll make these tonight, but when can you come back? Your father and I don't know how to cook snake meat any other way, except roasting it."

Su Qingluan put the backpack on the ground and said with a smile: "Mother, I have to go to town right now. I will be back tonight, but I can't say when. Otherwise, you can set up a stove in the yard and we can have a barbecue tonight. That way you can eat for a while and then I can come back and grill it again."

Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to your father right away and find him something to do. He's been so bored these past few days recuperating from his illness, and after he came back from catching shrimp yesterday, he couldn't wait any longer!"

Su Qingluan smiled and waved, then turned around and trotted towards Lefeng Town.

Although she could in principle cook for herself at home, after all, when she opened an online store in her previous life, she had "expanded" to become a "small boss" with five or six employees. Therefore, if she wanted her subordinates to follow her work arrangements more smoothly, as a leader, she should not be too arrogant.

So she decided to eat from the same pot with everyone.

Su Qingluan didn't waste much time. When she arrived outside the "Su Ji" shop in Lefeng Town, she could still smell the fragrant aroma of food coming from the backyard.

Running all the way here consumed a lot of energy, and Su Qingluan's stomach was empty. When the fragrance wafted over, her stomach couldn't help but growl.

She sniffed, a smile appeared on her lips, and she stepped into the house.

Today's work ended a little later than expected, which was not unexpected. However, after such a high-intensity work for a whole day, even though Su Qingluan did not need to exert too much physical energy, she felt exhausted from constantly planning and arranging personnel arrangements.

When Su Qingluan got home, it was just getting dark and everything was blurry.

However, the yard at home was very lively. My father, mother, younger brothers and sisters were gathered in the yard, talking and laughing.

The air was filled with the unique burnt aroma of barbecue, occasionally there was one or two sounds of charcoal exploding, and at the same time a small string of orange-red sparks rose above the grill, like the tail of a small string of fireworks.

Su Qingluan looked at this scene and inexplicably felt that the feeling of fatigue on her body was swept away, and the hunger that was originally not very perceptible became more obvious.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace: "Dad, Mom! I'm back!"

"Daya is back? Come quickly, the snake meat has just been roasted, eat it while it's hot!" Yang called out hurriedly.

"She has been traveling outside for so long, she should drink a sip of hot tea to warm herself up." This is Su Guangfu. It must be said that this suggestion is very useful.

"Sister, I grilled some mushrooms today and I'll give you a bunch!" This is Su Xuanhe who can't wait to show off.

"Hmph, brother has already burnt two skewers!" The one who was ruining things was naturally the little girl Su Xueyan.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Su Qingluan showed an even brighter and more relaxed smile and ran towards her family.
