On the ninth day, Lie's injury had almost healed. Meng Yuqing decided to make up for the barbecue he owed Lie and Mu before leaving, and also planned to call Dan and Dong to come along.
He asked Xuan to make a relatively thin and flat stone slab, and temporarily built a stone stove in the open space at the doorstep.
Several of the utensils made two days ago are ready for use, but most of them are not yet completed. The larger utensils made of wood ash have not yet dried, and only two small bowls can be put into use.
The only pottery that was finished were two small bowls that Meng Yuqing threw directly into the fire and two pots that were placed in a small kiln. The others were still waiting in line for firing.
The wood ash container is the same as the information found before. When water is placed in it, it will slowly seep out. Meng Yuqing has done an experiment. If a wood ash jar filled with water is left for one day, half of the water will seep out, but there is no problem using it to hold other solids.
Mu Helie was amazed at the temporary stone stove. The stove in Meng Yuqing's house was made by them and Xuan according to Meng Yuqing's requirements. However, they had never seen Meng Yuqing use it, and they thought that Ya Shou simply asked for it because he thought the house would look good, and it actually had no use.
I didn't expect that the temporary stone stove would be used first.
Xuan and Mu went out to hunt another sharp-toothed beast. The one Ronglin had given them had been eaten long ago. After all, orcs were really big eaters. Xuan and Xia, even if they were just in human form, finished eating the sharp-toothed beast that was twice the size of a wild boar in just three days.
This time, five orcs worked together to deal with the sharp-toothed beast. They quickly processed the meat and cut it into half-finger thick pieces according to Meng Yuqing's request.
Xuan crushed the salt stone skillfully, and made garlic and ginger into paste at Meng Yuqing's request, mixed them with salt and spread them all over the meat.
After two hours of marinating, Meng Yuqing estimated that it was almost done, so he instructed Dan and Dong to start a fire and place a clean stone slab on the stove.
He made a pair of long chopsticks out of bamboo, and after the stone slab was thoroughly heated by the fire, Meng Yuqing prepared to start grilling meat for them.
As soon as the meat was placed on the stone slab, a sizzling sound was heard, and golden oil seeped out of the meat and flowed onto the stone slab.
It’s really thanks to the fact that the sharp-toothed beast is fat and has enough oil that it can be grilled directly on the stone slab without sticking to it.
After roasting for a while, the meat had changed color, and a rich aroma penetrated everyone's nose. Mu opened his mouth and stared at the barbecue, his saliva flowing down.
"It smells so good! Yuqing, can I eat it now?"
"I see the color of the meat has changed. Can we eat it now?" Lie stared blankly at the meat on the stone slab.
Dan and Dong looked even more impatient.
Xuan was fine. Most of the sharp-toothed beast that Meng Yuqing pickled before was eaten by him and his father, so he could barely resist the temptation now. But why did he feel that this one was more delicious?
"Not yet. It's not cooked yet. We have to wait a little longer." Meng Yuqing looked carefully at the barbecue on the stone slab and shook his head in refusal.
"When is the best time? It smells so good and must be delicious." Mu squatted beside and stared at the barbecue intently.
"It's almost done, almost done, just wait a moment." He skillfully turned the barbecue over, thinking that it would be almost done once this side was done.
Under the scorching gazes of the five orcs, Meng Yuqing sprinkled chopped green onions.
Barbecue is finally ready!
"Okay, you can eat now. Be careful, it's hot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu had already picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hot! Hot! Hot! Delicious! Hot!" He opened his mouth and fanned himself with his hands while staring at the remaining meat on the stone slab.
Except for Xuan, the other three people reacted similarly. They grabbed a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into their mouths without caring about the heat.
Xuan, who had been prepared, took out two small wooden sticks from somewhere and pushed all the meat pieces into the two small ceramic bowls cooked by Meng Yuqing, and immediately swept away half of the barbecued meat on the stone slab.
He walked over to Meng Yuqing and gave her half of the barbecue. "Have some yourself. If they want to eat the rest, they can grill it themselves. You've already demonstrated it, so let them do it themselves."
After saying that, he pulled Meng Yuqing aside.
Meng Yuqing happily took the barbecue that Xuan had snatched from him and started eating it with big mouthfuls. Wow, it was really delicious!
