Bai Qianzhou asked Song Zhirong for some chopsticks, and together with Jack and the others, skewered the beef they had bought in Los Angeles onto them.
The method for making garlic sauce is actually very simple. Jiang Lan came over when Fu Wan started making it.
"Ah Wan, can I learn from you?"
Jiang Lan felt a little embarrassed. She had been listening to Fu Fengying talk about the taste of garlic sauce for a long time, which had piqued her curiosity.
Fu Wan naturally didn't refuse; learning how to make garlic sauce was a piece of cake.
Fu Wan heated the pan, poured in oil, and added most of the minced garlic. Jiang Lan, seeing so much minced garlic, stared in shock. They didn't actually eat much garlic; the amount Fu Fengying prepared today was equivalent to several years' worth of their previous garlic consumption.
The garlic simmered over low heat quickly turned yellow, and at the same time, a strong garlic aroma wafted over. Jiang Lan sniffed, and thought, "Wow, it really does smell delicious."
She couldn't help but swallow, and Fu Wan noticed her action and immediately chuckled softly.
The aroma of garlic grew stronger and stronger. Fu Wan added some salt and sugar, poured in some soy sauce, scooped out a little bit with a bowl, and then poured in the prepared chili flakes.
What's the purpose of taking this bowl out of the water?
"Oh, the kids can't eat spicy food, so I'll put some on top of the fish that Yuqing is eating later."
Jiang Lan was surprised by Fu Wan's thoughtfulness and was immediately touched.
The chili peppers and garlic quickly blended together. Fu Wan then poured in the remaining half bowl of minced garlic, stirred it well, and then used a container to pour out the cooked garlic chili sauce.
A whole bowl of garlic sauce, if stored properly, could easily last for a month or two.
Jiang Lan watched the whole thing and was also eager to try it out.
She can try it next time she has time!
Once the garlic sauce was ready, Bai Qianzhou and the others had also skewered the beef.
Fu Wan directed Song Zhirong and Robert to set up a simple barbecue grill in the yard. Fortunately, Song Zhirong's family had some charcoal, so once it was lit, it was just like an outdoor barbecue in later generations.
Robert and his friends found it intriguing; could such a rack really cook food?
Robert immediately became agitated when he saw Fu Wan catch the lobster from before.
"Wan, are we going to grill this lobster too?"
Song Zhirong also looked worried, "Why don't we just steam it and eat it?"
Fu Wan cut the lobster in half, and the meat on the lobster tail was clearly visible.
"Do you have an oven or grill at home? You could put half of it in and add some cheese or something, it should be pretty good."
Steaming every day is no substitute for something different.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhirong instinctively took it, but unexpectedly, Jiang Lan, who was full of enthusiasm, snatched it away.
"I'll give it a try, I have cheese at home!"
"Hey, let Mary take a look. I doubt you even know how to use an oven!"
"How could that be? An oven is so easy to use!"
Mary was their maid. The two of them were usually busy with work, and Mary could help them lighten their burden a lot.
Fu Wan picked up the other half of the lobster she had left behind, and was about to leave when Bai Qianzhou, who had rolled up his sleeves, took it from her.
"Tell us how to bake it, and we'll do it your way."
"Yes, I'd like to try it too."
Jack, also holding a handful of meat, was eager to try it, while Fu Wan simply stood aside as a supervisor.
The charcoal fire for grilling meat shouldn't be too hot, and the beef skewers should be brushed with oil while grilling.
Occasionally, a drop of oil would fall, sparking a few sparks, which would startle Tom and Robert, causing them to scream in fright.
Song Yuqing was very happy. She ran into the house and saw Jiang Lan staring at the oven. When she ran out, she saw these people busy barbecuing.
Fu Fengying sat on a chair to the side, the sunlight shining on her. Seeing the laughter and joy in the courtyard, her face was full of satisfaction.
Life is getting better and better!
Bai Qianzhou and Fu Wan quickly finished grilling the beef skewers. Seeing that the lobster meat was about to change color from the heat, Fu Wan used a spoon to pour a circle of freshly made garlic chili sauce on top.
In addition to beef skewers and grilled lobster, Jack had a sudden inspiration and washed a few mussels to put on the table. After the mussels opened their shells from the heat, he also followed Fu Wan's example and added some garlic sauce.
Fu Wan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. He's a quick learner!
Jack was even more pleased with the praise and kept showing off to Robert. The two noobs argued back and forth, and before they knew it, the beef in their hands had burned to charcoal.
"Hey, you two, watch out!"
Fu Fengying took a bite of the beef skewer that Fu Wan had given her. Hey, the ones her niece gave her are still the best!
The beef was grilled to a tender and juicy perfection, and Fu Wan added a touch of chili powder and pepper, making it taste just right.
Fu Wan tried a skewer herself. Due to limited ingredients, there was no cumin here, but it was barely acceptable!
But little Song Yuqing's eyes lit up after taking a bite. Seeing that she liked it, Fu Wan grilled two non-spicy skewers for her and let them cool down a bit before giving them to her, afraid that she might hurt herself.
"Song, Song!"
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, the neighbors outside couldn't resist any longer.
The barbecue smells so good, it's like a biological bomb!
Song Zhirong didn't even have time to put down the skewers in his hand before he rushed over to apologize.
"Excuse me, Mr. Steve, we're having a party at home. Are we disturbing you?"
Mr. Stephen was Ellie's father. His eyes were fixed on the skewers in Song Zhirong's hand, and he swallowed hard before he could even speak.
Oh my, how come our Chinese neighbor can make such a fragrant smell?
Before Song Zhirong could react, Ellie squeezed out from behind her father again.
"Uncle Song, can I go in and play?"
"Oh, of course, welcome!"
Song Zhirong is also a sucker for good looks, and he is very friendly to Ellie, who is about as cute as his daughter.
After his daughter went inside, Steve mustered up his courage and spoke up.
"Oh, dear Song, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good! Can I have a taste?"
Hearing this, Song Zhirong felt a little smug. He handed over the meat, saying, "Here you go. This is my sister's creation. It's delicious."
"Oh, is that the Chinese lady who caught the tuna?"
"Yes, it's her."
"God bless her, she's a superhero! Oh, this is so delicious!"
The novel beef skewers instantly won over Steve's taste buds. There were even neighbors across the fence looking on with envy. Why was he too embarrassed to go over? The smell was just too good.
Jiang Lan and Mary's cheese-baked lobster tasted great. Fu Wan took a bite and found the cheese flavor to be very strong and the lobster meat to be very tender.
The garlic lobster was also very good; Jiang Lan and Fu Fengying liked it a lot, while Song Yuqing preferred the cheese one. The group ate all the barbecued food, and in the end, they also ate quite a lot of strawberries and tuna. When Robert and Tom went back, they were so full that they could hardly walk.
All good things must come to an end. The next morning, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou packed their things to say goodbye to Fu Fengying and the others. Their pleasant family visit was over, and it was time for them to head to Florida to complete their final mission.
Song Zhirong took half a day off to take them to the airport. Just as they were leaving, the phone rang at home.
"What? Shi Cuiyun is awake?"
