At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, in Bai Guoguo’s yard.
"This stove is pretty good, it burns easily!"
The top of the oven at Bai Guoguo's house looks like an upside-down bowl, with an iron plate in the arc-shaped hole below.
You can dry fruits and mushrooms on it, or you can put charcoal on it and heat it up and down so that the things in the oven are heated on both sides and baked more evenly.
Under the iron plate is the oven, which is divided into three layers, and each layer is separated by a mesh woven with thick iron wire.
He Gang and his team have cleaned up these wire meshes, so you can just put things on them and roast them.
Since there was no baking tray, Guoguo rolled the kneaded dough with melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts and dried blueberries, and then brushed a layer of egg liquid on the bread.
Then put it on the first layer, bake it on the second layer, and bake the pretzels on the third layer with an iron plate brushed with oil.
There was firewood burning under the oven, and He Hongjun helped shovel some charcoal onto the top iron plate.
Pheasants and wild ducks are hung on ropes to dry. Their skin needs to be air-dried so that they are crispy when roasted.
The wild rabbit is pickled to prevent it from spoiling in the hot weather. It will be roasted later. If it is roasted a little drier, it can be kept for a few more days!
But there are so many people here today, I probably won’t be able to wait until it goes bad.
After the exam, He Hongjun's family will get some, He Gang's family will get some, and Xiuxiu's family will also get some.
Plus, they have a dinner party, so there probably won’t be anything left.
While Bai Guoguang was busy, He Gang and He Hongjun had already dealt with the wild boar.
The boiling water was brought from He Gang's house. After chopping the pork, He Gang personally divided the meat into four portions.
Bai Guoguo likes to eat spare ribs, so all the ribs were left for her.
He Hongjun's family brought a large piece of meat from the hind leg, and the same was true for He Gang's family.
He Hongjun paid for the two front legs and planned to send them to Xiuxiu's house later.
Brothers always settle accounts clearly. They always keep public and private matters separate so as to avoid arguments and hurt feelings.
Xiuxiu did not participate in this event, so if He Hongjun wanted to give her something, he would have to pay for it.
The pig's head, pig's trotters and pig's offal will be braised at He Gang's house later, and we will share them then.
The last time Bai Guoguo treated us to a meal, the braised pork was so delicious that no one had enough.
This time I have to trouble Bai Guoguo to braise the meat, but she doesn't have to do any dirty work, just adjust the seasoning.
He Gang's left hand was weak, so the job of washing the pig intestines was given to He Hongjun, while He Gang was responsible for burning the hair on the pig's head and trotters.
The three young people chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly as they worked and chatted.
As time passed, the oven emitted an aroma mixed with the aroma of milk and roasted wheat.
If you look closely, you can smell a strong aroma of onions.
The fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, making the three young men present feel their stomachs growling.
The taste of carbohydrates is the most irresistible taste for humans, not to mention that it is mixed with the sweet aroma of milk, which makes people salivate.
Slowly, the aroma of green onions became more dominant and overwhelmed the aroma of milk and wheat.
"It smells so good, so good. Bai Zhiqing, come and take a look. Is it ready?"
He Hongjun held back his saliva as he washed the pig intestines and put the basin of pig intestines aside.
I couldn't wait to run to the oven and smell the fragrance in the air.
He Gan's pig's head and trotters were also cooked. He threw the burnt black pig's head and trotters into a large basin.
He poured a pot of hot water into it and scooped a few large buckets of water from the bucket next to it, letting the water soak the pig's head and trotters, so that it would be convenient for scraping the dust later.
He also smelled the aroma coming from the oven, fortunately this place was next to the brigade.
If he were in the middle of the team, all the kids in the group would cry with envy.
He Gang finished the work in his hands and quietly approached the oven. He was also greedy.
"According to the time, the cookies should be ready to be baked, but I don't know if they will be successful!"
Bai Guoguo glanced at his watch. The cookies had been baking for more than 20 minutes, so they should be almost done.
"Then open it and take a look. I think it must have worked. It smells so good, it would be a shame if it didn't!"
He Hongjun stared at the oven with shining eyes, wishing he had a pair of X-ray eyes to see what was going on inside.
"'I'll turn on the stove, please stand back, be careful of the burns!'
He Gang pulled Bai Guoguo away, put a wet towel in his hand, and opened the stove door.
A wave of heat instantly hit me, followed by the overwhelming aroma of baked pastries.
I saw that the bread in the oven had doubled in size, and the crust had turned slightly yellow.
The cookies may have been baked a little too high the first time, so they were a little burnt, but they were still edible.
"Brother He, the bread still needs to bake for 15 minutes. Let me get the biscuits first. You don't have any tools, so be careful not to burn yourself."
Bai Guoguo pulled He Gang away and used the shovel that was previously hanging flat to shovel out the iron plate.
He Hongjun was very tactful and took a large wooden board to connect it to the bottom to prevent the iron plate from falling and burning people.
Several people worked together to take out the cookie baking tray, and the cookies were now completely dried and fragrant.
Use a small spatula to gently shovel them all off the baking tray.
There are 30 cookies in this batch, each one is the size of a child's palm.
After the food cooled down a little, Bai Guoguo used chopsticks to give a piece to each of He Gang and He Hongjun.
"This is the fruit of our labor today. How about you all try some? These are scallion cookies without sugar."
Bai Guoguo knew that He Hongjun didn't like sweets very much, so she didn't put much sugar in the bread when baking.
I might as well bake some savory and fragrant scallion cookies. If it works, I’ll bake some more and give them to him on the road!
