When the charcoal is completely red, it is completely ignited. Use tongs to spread the charcoal flat, put the grill on, and you can start.
They usually eat barbecue outside, and they have never done charcoal barbecue by themselves. These steps were taught by Liu Nanshan last time.
Xu Qingsong and his friends have even learned some barbecue techniques and are now eager to try it out.
A few people gathered together to recall and imitated each other. But after all, they were novices and did not dare to grill a large handful like Liu Nanshan, so they took a few skewers and tried it first.
Du Yunkai did not participate in the last barbecue, and he didn't know how to do it. As a person who was just waiting to eat, he consciously did not express any opinions. He took a few small tomatoes, stood aside and watched while eating.
Gradually, the fragrance began to spread. I immediately felt hungry after smelling it, and the hungrier I became, the more greedy I became.
Liu Wangxue stared at the sizzling pork belly slices in Xu Qingsong's hand, struggled for a moment, and said, "Let's grill it a little longer."
Xu Qingsong looked at her greedy but restrained appearance, smiled and put the skewer back on the grill, and said, "Okay, we want it to be golden brown and crispy, right?"
"Yeah." Liu Wangxue nodded.
The pork belly is cut by myself, so it is not as thin as if it were cut by a machine. If you want to achieve a crispy texture, it takes more time.
After a while, Tao Huayu finished grilling the tender beef fillet in his hand and gave everyone a bunch to taste: "How is it?"
Wenxi praised: "It's delicious!"
Du Yunkai also thought the food was good and praised him: "With this cooking skill, you can open a shop."
The beef tenderloin is cut into thin pieces and skewered together with chopped Hangzhou peppers. A layer of scallion oil is brushed on the surface when grilling. When the Hangzhou peppers are grilled until bubbles appear, sprinkle a layer of barbecue powder on them and it's done.
However, the others and Tao Huayu had the same feeling. Tao Huayu shook his head and said, "It's a little bit off. It's not the same taste. Obviously, the ingredients are the same."
Yue Cheng: "Once you have seen the sea, you will never be satisfied with other waters."
Lan Xiaoxi: "Except for Wushan, there are no clouds."
Gu Xuelan laughed when she heard this.
Wenxi and Du Yunkai were confused: "What?"
Xu Qingsong commented: "Compared with Uncle Nanshan's craftsmanship, it's still a little bit worse."
"Oh," Wenxi understood. She had tasted Liu Nanshan's cooking skills when she visited Liu Wangxue's hometown before. "That's definitely incomparable. Uncle Nanshan's cooking skills have been tested by the market, right, Aunt Lan?"
The first time Gu Xuelan met Liu Nanshan was at the barbecue restaurant where he worked.
She still remembers clearly that the young man was wearing loose washed jeans, a solid black vest, a mask and an apron, and standing in front of the barbecue grill.
As his hands moved, the muscle lines on his arms emerged clearly and beads of sweat slid down his wheat-colored skin.
But what attracted Gu Xuelan the most at the first glance was his gaze. Even in the smoky heat, it was clear that his gaze was sharp and full of vigor, as if it carried a free and wild power.
At that time, Gu Xuelan had just gotten out of the heavy workload of high school and received an admission letter from university. She came out with a few friends to celebrate.
They were originally planning to eat hotpot, but when passing by the barbecue restaurant, she suddenly changed her mind and pulled her friends to sit down at the door.
The barbecue restaurant was doing very well, and there were no empty tables inside or outside. Seeing that they were all well-mannered and looked like good students, the boss was too embarrassed to ask to share a table with others, so he went upstairs and brought out his own folding table for dining.
The surroundings were noisy and the air was filled with the smell of charcoal fire, the spicy aroma of barbecue ingredients, and the scent of alcohol.
Many customers specifically asked Liu Nanshan to grill the food for them. Their orders were sandwiched between them, and they had to wait for a long time before they could eat it.
Maybe it was the environment and atmosphere that made Gu Xuelan unable to forget the surprise that the first bite left on her taste buds even after so many years.
At this time, Gu Xuelan listened to Wen Xi's words and said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated. Xiao Tao's craftsmanship is good enough. Don't be too picky."
"We are not picky." The pork belly in Xu Qingsong's hand met Liu Wangxue's requirements. He sprinkled some seasoning on it and distributed it to everyone, "to help him strive for excellence."
Gu Xuelan took the stick and said, "I don't rely on this to make a living, so this is enough."
Yue Cheng flipped the treasure in his hand and said, "Auntie Lan, although he doesn't make a living from this, he can serve us. If you want to eat it in the future, just shout, 'Brother Huayu, come and grill one.'"
Tao Huayu took another handful of Hangzhou pepper beef tenderloin from the table and patted him on the forehead: "Grill one? I might as well grill you."
Liu Wangxue felt that Yue Cheng was right, so he immediately took out his phone, called Liu Nanshan via video, and said, "Come on, start a video call with Master Liu and give him some remote guidance."
Liu Nanshan had just finished preparing dinner and had set the table. When he was helping Uncle Liu Wangxue sit down, his cell phone rang. He said, "You eat first. I'll take a call from my daughter."
As soon as the video was connected, it was a scene of Liu Wangxue eating the last piece of roasted pork belly on the skewer. Liu Nanshan looked at the background behind her and heard the voices, so he asked, "Where is the rooftop barbecue?"
Liu Wangxue put the sticks into the basket on the table and said exaggeratedly, "Dad, what you taught them last time was totally in vain. Not a single one of them succeeded."
As she spoke, she switched to the rear camera so that Liu Nanshan could see it.
After everyone finished greeting each other, Yue Cheng said, "Uncle, we are the typical example of people who have the brain and eyes to do it, but the hands can't keep up at all."
Liu Wangxue also gave a close-up of the finished product, and Liu Nanshan laughed out loud listening to their comments.
After laughing for a while, Liu Nanshan explained to them again through the screen the key points of the technique, the control of the heat, and when to do each step, giving them guidance.
After roasting the ones in his hand, Tao Huayu shared them with everyone to taste again. He said: "I feel that there should be progress."
Du Yunkai took a bite and said, "Indeed, it's obvious!"
But the ones baked by Xu Qingsong and Yue Cheng were still almost the same as before. Yue Cheng gave up: "Forget it, forget it, I have zero talent, just bake it until it's done."
Listening to everyone's praise, Tao Huayu suddenly became proud: "Luckily, I got into the home improvement industry. If I had started a barbecue business, I would have wiped out all the stores in this town!"
Liu Nanshan burst into laughter on the other end of the phone, chatted with them for a few more words, then hung up the video and went to eat.
Then Tao Huayu suddenly became the head chef of today. He pretended to roll up his non-existent sleeves and show off his skills.
Seeing that the sunset was about to sink to the horizon, those who had gone out to play or to look for someone had not returned. Gu Xuelan was a little worried, so she said she would go and take a look.
Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud shout from the yard below: "Xu Qingsong! I knew you couldn't be trusted!"
The first half of Liu's father and Gu's mother's life has all gone through my mind. Ahhhhhh I really want to write about my parents' love. What should I do? My hands are itching! ! ! Why am I not an octopus tentacle monsterΣ(っ°Д°;)っ
