Mother Su looked at the girl and sighed, "Poor child, born into such a family."
Su Yin also sympathized with the girl.
Although she was not liked by her grandparents in the Su family, she was protected by Su's mother and Su's father also loved her and would not beat her for no reason. Compared with that girl, she was lucky.
The mountain tiger was dealt with and the team continued on their way.
Su Yin was certain that the dream she had last night was indeed a precognitive dream.
Su Yin was not sure about the pattern of this sudden predictive dream, whether it was random or triggered by the fulfillment of other external conditions. He would have to wait and figure it out slowly.
Now all she could do was wait, wait for it to appear again.
The appearance of the mountain tiger slowed down their journey by half a day. They were supposed to reach Fushun County before dusk, but now they can’t make it.
Before the sun set, the group descended the mountain and walked another 55 miles before reaching Fushun County.
After discussion, everyone decided to rest at the foot of the mountain for one night and set off early tomorrow morning.
There is a puddle at the foot of the mountain. Water flows out from the cracks in the stone wall, forming a depression.
It won't be long before the water supply to this place runs out.
Since there was water here, Su Yin did not use the water in the wooden barrel. Not only was it useless, but she also had to add more water, otherwise it would not be enough for the later drinks.
Everyone lined up and took turns to scoop.
After the first ten people finished scooping, the water in the puddle dropped by several centimeters. When it was Su Yin's turn, the water was almost at the bottom.
Su Yin was not in a hurry. She squatted aside and watched, taking out a little and putting a little on the spoon.
Many people don't have that patience and just come up with buckets of mud and water.
Su Yin carried the rice back to the camp. Su Baozhu had already made the sleeping place for the night, while Su's mother was preparing food. Seeing her mother washing rice from the cloth bag, Su Yin hurriedly stopped her.
After eating porridge for two days, Su Yin felt that she could hear the sound of water gurgling in her stomach.
"Mom, let's not make porridge today, let's just grill the meat."
"I'm not very good at grilling."
"I can." Su Yin volunteered to take over the job.
Su Yin selected the tenderest meat from the tiger. The fat content of the meat in the belly is higher than other parts of the body, and it is a mixture of fat and lean, which is perfect for barbecue.
He built a platform with stones at a suitable height for barbecue, cut the tiger meat into small pieces, picked up some wood from the woods, and skewered the meat. This process took some effort, but it was not difficult for Su Yin, who was good at manual labor.
The uncle next door heard that she was grilling meat, so he came over to take a look and found it strange.
They grill meat by placing the whole piece of meat on the fire, turning it over and over, sprinkling some salt on it in the middle, and applying some honey if possible. The meat can be eaten when it is cooked.
"You grill meat like this."
"It's okay if it's complicated, as long as it tastes good."
As Su Yin spoke, her hands never stopped moving. The meat skewers were roasted over the fire, sizzling with oil and the aroma of meat wafted out.
Crush star anise, cinnamon and salt together, and sprinkle her secret seasoning on the skewers when they are about to be served. An instant fragrance bursts out and spreads in the wind.
The star anise and cinnamon were bought by her at the pharmacy before. These two things were used as medicinal herbs and spices in the Dayong Dynasty and were not eaten.
Su Yin has set a precedent.
The two items were quite expensive, so Su Yin didn't buy too much.
When spreading the ingredients, she was very careful, fearing that they would be wasted.
“(╯▽╰ )It smells so good~~ah!”
The little cousins Yang Taohua and Yang Gui were attracted by the aroma. The two little guys were still holding the meat roasted by their old father in their hands, but their eyes were fixed on the meat in Su Yin's hand.
Little Yang Gui came up to Su Yin, raised his head, and looked at you eagerly with a pair of wet eyes. He asked in a baby voice: "Sister, your meat smells so good. I wonder if it tastes good."
"Sister, can I try it for you?"
Everyone knows Yang Gui's Sima Zhao's intentions.
Su Yin was amused by his greedy look and handed him a string of noodles, "Be careful, you may burn your mouth."
After the little guy got the skewer of meat, he didn't hear what she said and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth. Even though it burned his mouth, he was reluctant to spit out the meat and made a "shashasha" sound with his mouth.
Su Yin gave Xiao Taohua a skewer of meat.
The first batch of skewers of meat was not large, just twenty.
Five skewers were given to Su's mother, five to Su Baozhu, Su Yin kept five for herself, and the rest were shared among the two greedy little ones.
When my aunt-in-law came over, she looked at the two children and felt ashamed.
"You two stupid kids, you have barbecue at home, yet you come to your aunt's place to eat and drink for free."
Little Yang Gui replied in a baby voice, "Mom, Sister Yinyin's grilled meat is delicious. Daddy's grilled meat tastes terrible."
Xiao Taohua nodded.
My aunt-in-law was both angry and amused. She went back and brought back a string of meat, which weighed at least five or six pounds.
"Okay, let your sister Yinyin help you bake."
The two little guys clapped their hands happily.
"If you want to eat, go and get it yourself." Su Yin said with a smile.
Su Baozhu took on the task and instructed the two little ones to skewer the meat. Her aunt-in-law also came over to help. Her uncle, who was left out, was so angry that he threw away his sleeves and came over with the remaining tiger legs.
The two families simply grilled together.
Perhaps it was because Su Yin’s meat was too fragrant, many people came over following the smell. Most of them were families who were given tiger meat. They came over to learn from him, and after learning, they ran back home to roast it together.
Yang Dashu's family was originally cooking meat porridge, but with the noise of his son and daughter, plus the smell of barbecue wafting from time to time, they were tempted to grill some meat as well.
As for the pot of meat porridge, it will be saved for breakfast tomorrow.
Da Zhuang's family lived at the end of the team, and they kept a distance from Su Yin and the others on purpose, in order to prevent their son from seeing them eating and starting to make a fuss again.
But they never expected that even though they lived so far away, they still couldn't escape.
Da Zhuang was attracted by the smell and started to make a fuss again. If it wasn't for the place during the day, Da Zhuang's mother would still come to ask for a skewer of barbecue, but after what happened during the day, she was not going to go. It's not that she was afraid of Su Yin and the others, but she knew clearly that the other party would not give it to her even if she asked.
Of course she wouldn't do such a boring thing.
Su Yin's barbecue skills were unanimously recognized by everyone.
Eating barbecue and looking up at the stars, if this was not a time to escape famine and there was a pot of wine at hand, that would have been a beautiful day. What a pity.
After eating and drinking, they lit a fire, not for warmth, but to drive away wild animals.
Nothing happened during the night, and the predictive dream that Su Yin was expecting did not appear.
The next morning, when it was still light, the sounds of ding-dong could be heard all around the camp, and many women had already gotten up to prepare breakfast.
Su's mother also got up early, and when Su Yin got up, the food had already been prepared.
The breakfast is simple, porridge with pickles.
These pickles were sent by my aunt.
After breakfast, the team set off again and headed towards Fushun County.
As the team stepped onto the official road, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, and saw a team of horse-drawn carriages galloping past the team.
At first no one paid attention to it, but then one carriage after another came, all in a hurry, which was a bit unusual.
