By the time Zhao Jun and the others came out, Liu Cuihong had already returned to the house.
"I think she is the uneducated one."
Qingliu stood beside her and spat at her harshly.
"Okay, there are all kinds of people in this world, let's go."
Zhao Jun shook his head and walked into the Doss family's yard.
When Li Futian heard the noise, he thought that it was Aunt Liu who had really come in shamelessly.
When I came out, I found that it was Zhao Jun and the others.
"Greetings, gentlemen." Li Futian bowed and saluted.
"Is there anything else I can help you with? The pot of honey is not enough."
He asked, and as he spoke he was about to make another trip.
"No, no, that's enough of the pot of sheep honey. I came to you this time to ask you something else."
Zhao Jun was already very familiar with the place, so he walked into the house and sat down.
"Please ask, sir." Li Futian stood by.
Qingliu and Meng Yi also found a seat and sat down.
"Where are Doss and Wawa?" Qingliu looked for them as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't see them.
"Oh, the baby is asleep, and Doss is asleep with her. If the adults need anything, I'll go call them right away."
Li Futian was about to go to the inner room with the closed door, but was stopped by Qingliu.
"It's okay, there's no need to shout since they're all asleep."
After hearing this, Li Futian stepped back and continued to listen to what Zhao Jun said.
"I want to ask you if there are any spicy plants outside the Great Wall, or if you've heard of cumin?"
In fact, cumin is the seed of fennel, but according to historical records, there should be no fennel at that time, but it is not clear whether it existed outside the Great Wall.
Looking for something again, but this time Li Futian didn't think too long and replied quickly.
"The more pungent plants include Sichuan pepper, cornel, ginger, and mustard. As for fennel, I've never heard of it, but there is aniseed, which I have at home."
Li Futian walked to the other side where the miscellaneous items were stored and quickly brought back a can of fennel.
Zhao Jun knew about fennel. The so-called fennel is actually star anise, which can also remove the odor when cooked with meat.
She didn't choose, she just wanted to satisfy her craving.
"Okay, then give me some fennel. I don't need the rest. The official post station has it."
Zhao Jun came and left in a hurry, and soon returned to the official inn with his things.
At this time, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Friends, I'm going to make a delicious barbecue dinner for you tonight."
Qingliu clapped her hands in support and even poked Meng Yi, who was standing there without any reaction.
"Your Excellency is first-rate. We are in for a treat tonight."
"Well, that's well said. Now I'll assign the tasks."
"Qingliu, you will be responsible for cutting these mutton and beef into small pieces. I will tell you how big the pieces should be."
"Then, Meng Yi, you will be responsible for grinding these fennel and peppercorns into powder using that pestle."
"That's it, let's get started!"
At Zhao Jun's command, the two men began to move.
As for Zhao Jun herself, she had to get the oven and wooden skewers.
The wooden sticks were easy to make. She had already asked someone to break off some branches, and all she had to do now was polish them a little.
The difficult part now is the stove. Without modern coal and barbecue grill, Zhao Jun plans to build one himself.
First, raise the surrounding area with stones and then surround it, leaving space for firewood.
She had seen how to build this kind of primitive stove in modern times before, and soon she had built a decent stove.
She deliberately piled the stones very long, a bit like a long modern barbecue grill.
Done, now just light the firewood and wait for the barbecue.
She didn't light the fire for the time being, after all, the preparations were not yet complete.
She brought the sharpened wooden sticks and came to the green willow on the left. The meat had been cut into pieces of similar size.
"Qingliu is very fast. Now just put the meat on the skewers."
She demonstrated how to make one, which was a bit like the willow branch meat skewers in modern Northeast China.
You can tell how delicious it will be when baked just by looking at it.
After looking for a while, she came to Meng Yi's territory on the right.
Lord Meng, who usually behaves in a gentle and dignified manner, was now rolling up his sleeves and vigorously pounding the star anise on the stone.
There was already some powder in the two bowls placed nearby.
"Master Meng has worked hard. I must give you more when we grill the meat later."
"But Meng Yi, you still have to work harder. If you want to eat more barbecue, this amount of powder is not enough."
Meng Yi was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely.
Hearing Zhao Jun's sarcastic remarks, she didn't bother to reply, but just looked up and glared at her without any image.
After provoking the two men, Zhao Jun ran away with a smile. She also wanted to take out the oil and the prepared wool brush.
When everything was almost ready, Zhao Jun lit the firewood he had prepared.
Qing Liu and Meng Yi also finished their work and stood by watching her.
The flames gradually rose, and she took the skewers and started to roast them, adding oil, salt, and pepper powder in the middle, and then turning them over.
The whole set of movements flows smoothly.
The meat skewers were roasting over the firewood, and the meat was sizzling and dripping with oil. Soon, the aroma of meat and peppercorns overpoweringly rushed into the noses of several people.
Qingliu was eager to try it after seeing it, and Zhao Jun let her try it.
The operation is very simple and Qingliu learned it in no time.
"Master Meng, why don't you come and try it."
Zhao Jun sat by the stove, and his face and hands were inevitably stained with some ash.
Meng Yi put his hands in his pockets and shook his head quickly. He didn't want to do it.
"Okay, then ask someone to boil two pots of hot milk, the kind with nectar, for us to drink later."
