A gentle breeze blew through the Red Flower Tribe.
Several passing soldiers smelled the fragrance, sniffed, and stopped in front of it: "What's that smell? It smells so good!"
The aroma was so irresistible that no one could resist it. Following the scent, they found Li Qing, who was intently grilling meat.
"Uh, what are you doing? Why are you eating the meat like this? That's really strange."
A burly man with a scorpion braid scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.
There was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, which looked like it was from eating raw meat from some animal.
Chu laughed and said, "You'll see in a moment. This is a technique for making cooked meat that Maizi saw in the Qingye tribe. He then improved it himself. The taste now is much better than when we ate raw meat back then."
Scorpion Braid was increasingly puzzled, wondering if it could be eaten like this. But despite his curiosity, the aroma was undeniable. He swallowed hard, closed his eyes in ecstasy, and exclaimed, "Oh my god, this smells so good! Can I have a piece?"
Li Qing kindly picked up a piece of nearly roasted meat and handed it to Scorpion Braid, saying, "Why can't you eat this? Here, have some."
Scorpion Braid was a little embarrassed; he was psychologically resistant to it, but the smell was just too good. He comically turned his head to the side, but his hand honestly reached forward.
Li Qing gently placed the piece of meat into the palm of the hand with the scorpion braid, urging the person beside her, "Hasn't he come back yet?"
The group looked at each other, somewhat anxious.
"I don't know, they should be back soon."
"It's been a while, I'll go check it out first!"
Not only Li Qing, but all of these people couldn't wait any longer and rushed over to see what was going on with that person.
Li Qing was focused on grilling the meat, while Chu stood beside him and asked Scorpion Braid, "Is it delicious?"
Scorpion Braid nodded excitedly and exclaimed, "It's so delicious! It's absolutely delicious! This is the best food I've ever eaten since I was born! Oh my god, Wheat, how is this made? Tell me!"
Li Qing spread his hands and said, "It's actually very simple. Just make a simple 'stove' like this, then sprinkle some lard on the stone slab. Once the stone slab is hot enough to start emitting steam, put the meat slices on it. The method is very simple, but you also need to consider whether the surface of the meat is heated evenly. At the same time, you need to carefully select the stones. Of course, the taste of this kind of roasted meat is not perfect. Adding more star anise or something similar would probably make it better. Also, if you are afraid of trouble, there is an even simpler way. You can take a stick, pierce the meat slices, and put them directly on the flame to roast. This method is simpler, but it also requires more skill, because if you are not careful, the meat may burn."
These words left Scorpion Braid speechless. He scratched his head and said with genuine admiration, "What are you talking about? It sounds really impressive."
Li Qing thought she had explained it quite simply, but to her surprise, the scorpion braid still didn't understand, leaving her speechless. "Let me explain it to you again..."
Scorpion Braid suddenly said, "I think Wheat, why don't you be like the women in our tribe and prepare food for us from now on? You have quite a talent for this."
The expression on Scorpion Braid's face didn't seem like a joke... but Li Qing couldn't stand such praise. His face twitched, and he continued grilling in silence.
Before long, the soldiers who had just left returned. This time, they not only brought even more delicious tenderloin and neck meat, but also many people who came attracted by the aroma. There were men, women, young and old. Li Qing's stone slab grilling was a completely new operation that they had never seen before. They surrounded Li Qing one after another, constantly expressing their amazement at this skill and asking Li Qing if they could have some to try.
"Don't rush, everyone gets a share!"
Li Qing focused intently on grilling the meat, while ingredients were continuously delivered to him; all he needed to do was focus on his job.
While grilling the meat, Li Qing muttered, "Come on, women, children and the elderly go first, those who haven't eaten yet go first, all of you come here to line up. Those who have eaten can line up at the back of the line. Those who have already eaten the meat, don't eat it again, leave the opportunity for those who haven't eaten it yet."
The previously crowded and hurried crowd lined up in an orderly fashion after Li Qing's words. The women, taking advantage of their position, squeezed to the front of the line. Some of the prettier women secretly flirted with Li Qing, who was grilling, hoping he would look up at them. The less attractive women were not to be outdone. Seeing the prettier women being so proactive, they became even more proactive, each one generously praising Li Qing and secretly using the advantage of less clear vision to push their way to the front.
Li Qing didn't stop him much, but adhering to the principle of one piece of meat per person, he would see one person off and welcome the next. Occasionally, when he felt craving something, he would sneak a piece for himself.
It was time for a woman, whose figure was undeniably voluptuous by modern standards, to comment. She deliberately rested her hands on her knees, leaned forward, and said in a coquettish voice, "Give me a big piece to try. Your serious movements while grilling are so beautiful!"
They never hesitated to shower Li Qing with praise and admiration, boldly expressing their affection for him.
When Li Qing glanced up, he saw half of the beautiful sight of her chest covered in soft yellow grass, and his movements paused slightly.
"Um?"
She deliberately leaned forward and breathed on Li Qing's face: "Wheat?"
"ah!"
Li Qing then realized that he had been somewhat distracted and quickly said, "I'm sorry."
His hands, still not behaving themselves, put the slightly smaller piece of meat back on the hot plate, picked out a larger-looking piece, and handed it to the woman: "Here, for you."
The woman took the piece of meat, ran up behind Li Qing with a grin, and gave him a big hug. "You're so kind!"
"This is absolutely despicable!"
"Sa, how could you do this? Isn't this bullying Mai Zi because she's young? It's outrageous!"
The voluptuous woman named Sa turned around and made a face at the person who spoke, "Pah, mind your own business!"
Clap your hands, turn around and leave.
Li Qing continued grilling the meat, but his thoughts were still lingering on the scene from earlier. In those days, people didn't wear clothes. The yellow grass was practically useless except for keeping out mosquitoes, which meant that he had almost come into direct contact with the robe just now. Even now, he could still recall that feeling of vulnerability.
Clearing his throat, Li Qing muttered in a voice only he could hear, "Cough, is there anything else...? I can still hold on."
