"Grilled skewers? Barbecue? What on earth is this delicious food, sister-in-law?" Su Xingliang asked curiously.
Ning He said to He Shaochuan, "Shaochuan, light a fire here."
Barbecue was a dish that Ning He came up with on the spur of the moment. As it was so sudden, there was no time to make a barbecue grill, so he could only ask He Shaochuan to gather a few stones, put some firewood inside and light it.
Seeing this, Su Xingliang couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, isn't this just like when we roasted cicadas together?"
When it comes to roasting cicadas, Hu Zi instantly gets excited: "Sister-in-law, we know how to roast things, let us do it!"
Ning He did not refuse. He asked each of them to hold a bunch of skewers in their hands and use them as artificial grills, holding them over the fire to grill.
Ning He gave instructions from the side, asking him to flip the bamboo sticks, and finally went to get the seasoning that He Shaochuan had just bought.
First, a layer of oil was applied, and then the barbecued meat was instantly skewered, making a sizzling sound.
Ning He sprinkled some more pepper and salt, and signaled them to continue flipping: "Don't stop, let each side be heated evenly, so that it will be flavorful."
It was summer already, and a group of people were still warming themselves by the fire outside in the yard in the middle of the day, which was simply adding fuel to the fire.
Everyone's head and even their whole body were wet.
But the yard was still full of laughter and joy, and no one complained or got angry because of the hot environment.
Ning He was not idle either. She rode her bike to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative and bought a few bottles of cold beer.
Then I made homemade barbecue sauce, brushed it on each skewer, and finally placed the grilled skewers on a plate.
She pried the bottle caps shut, gave each of them a bottle of beer, and motioned for them to try it.
"They say barbecue and beer make you feel like a god. Come and try it and see how it tastes."
Ning He handed a bunch of grilled chicken wings to Qian Lin, "Try it, Lin Bao. Be careful, it's hot."
They were already impatient. At first, they were not that excited about the barbecue.
I thought this barbecue was similar to the cicadas they roasted before.
But it wasn't until Ning He brushed her homemade barbecue sauce on them that every skewer exuded a rich aroma.
It makes them drool just by smelling it.
At this time, I couldn't wait to open my mouth and take a bite.
It tastes salty, crispy and tender in the mouth, especially the outer layer covered with barbecue sauce, which makes people keep swallowing their saliva after eating it.
"Delicious! This is much better than roasted cicadas!" As soon as they swallowed it, they couldn't help but praise it.
They finished one string in less than a minute, and quickly picked up the next one and took a bite.
When you take a bite, your mouth is full of juice and the meat is springy and chewy.
After Su Xingliang finished eating two skewers, he glanced at the calm family of three across from him.
He quickly reacted and patted the two pigs beside him: "Stop eating. My sister-in-law prepared a table of delicious dishes today. Why don't you toast her a glass of wine to show your appreciation?"
After Su Xingliang's reminder, the other two finally stopped talking, picked up the wine bottles and spoke to Ning He.
"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard today. Let's drink this!" As they said this, several people tilted their heads back and gulped down a bottle of beer.
In this situation, it would be unreasonable for Ning He not to return a toast.
Just when Ning He picked up the wine glass and was about to return the toast, the bottle in her hand was snatched away by He Shaochuan.
Ning He turned her head and asked him unhappily, "Don't you have wine yourself? Why are you stealing mine?"
"Drink less alcohol, it's bad for your stomach. Eat more vegetables and I'll drink for you." After saying that, He Shaochuan raised his head and his throat rolled several times.
Ning He watched helplessly as the bottle of wine was finished.
As soon as He Shaochuan finished drinking, Ning He took a skewer and stuffed it into He Shaochuan's mouth.
"Are you going to die after drinking so much? Eat something to fill your stomach, and stop drinking!"
After a while, the men were all drunk, but they still kept eating.
Hu Zi sighed as he ate, "I can eat this for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. But it's a pity that my sister-in-law and Brother Chuan will only be back for a month, and I won't be able to eat it after a month."
As he said this, Hu Zi took a bite of the skewer and couldn't help but wonder, "It would be great if we could sell barbecue here someday, so I can eat it every day!"
Ning He smiled and asked Hu Zi: "Hu Zi, what are you doing now?"
Hu Zi scratched his head uncomfortably: "Sister-in-law, I have no skills. I worked odd jobs in a restaurant before. After that, A Liang came back and opened a car repair shop. He was planning to let me go over to help."
When Ning He heard that Hu Zi used to work in a restaurant, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Isn't it good that you worked in a hotel?"
"What's wrong?" Hu Zi asked in confusion.
"Huzi, I have a business idea that can make money and allow you to eat barbecue every day. Do you want to try it?"
When Hu Zi heard about this good thing, he nodded without even thinking about it, "Of course I agree, sister-in-law, please tell me, what is the way?"
Ning He was about to speak when He Shaochuan spoke first.
"Your sister-in-law wants to teach you how to set up a barbecue stall."
Ning He suddenly turned her head and looked at He Shaochuan in surprise, her eyes seemed to be asking him how he knew what she wanted to say.
He Shaochuan reached out and held Ning He's hand tightly, and said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I know what you want to do and what you want to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard three people curiously ask, "Barbecue stall?"
Ning He nodded: "Barbecues sell best in the summer, especially if you set up a barbecue stall at night, you can make a lot of money."
At this time, Su Xingliang remembered what Ning He had said to him.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you told me before that during the time you were with the army, you set up a stall at the market and made a lot of money during those days."
Su Xingliang's words encouraged Hu Zi, and he was eager to set up a stall.
"Sister-in-law, if you are willing to teach me, of course I am willing to learn!"
A Kun who was standing by also said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will work with Hu Zi, and he won't dare to be lazy when I am here!"
Not only Hu Zi, but even A Kun has been doing odd jobs for one family and living a lazy life for another in the past few years.
It’s too much for one person to run a barbecue stall, so it’s great that A Kun can help.
"Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you."
Ning He did what he said and wrote down the recipe for the barbecue sauce and the design drawings of the barbecue grill that night.
He Shaochuan prepared bath water for her, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Ning He busy drawing.
He walked closer and saw that it was a picture drawn for Hu Zi and the others. It not only included a barbecue grill, but also a design for a large cart.
This cart is easy to deal with. Coincidentally, Su Xingliang is a car mechanic, so it’s perfect to let him be in charge.
He Shaochuan looked at everything Ning He had planned for them, and his heart felt as if it was filled with cotton.
"Thank you for doing so much for them."
A voice suddenly came from beside him, which scared Ning He.
She patted her chest and said unhappily, "How come you came in without making any noise?"
