"Second brother, why don't we go back now! This robe will no longer be fresh if it is kept for a long time. Besides, I just caught a few pheasants and rabbits in the mountains. I'm afraid they will go bad if they are kept in the car for a long time. Anyway, we originally planned to go back in the evening, so we might as well ask Aunt Zhang at home to prepare some barbecue. These ready-made ingredients can also be used. We can have a dinner together in the courtyard tonight." Liang Yiyi said.
Before Liang Wenyu could answer, Zhang Juan immediately clapped her hands and shouted, "Okay, okay, let's have a barbecue buffet tonight. It's so lively just thinking about it."
Seeing that everyone agreed with Yi Yi's proposal, Liang Wenyu naturally would not object, so he quickly set off to go home.
The two cars quickly drove to the foot of the mountain and met up with another car. Without much delay, the cars quickly drove towards the highway back to Beijing.
When they got home, it was not yet eight o'clock in the evening. Because Liang Wenyu had called home before getting in the car, the yard was already set up. They just needed to clean the prey and marinate it a little before they could start grilling.
When the old man saw his granddaughter coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "Yiyi, Grandpa hasn't even had dinner yet! I've been waiting for you to come back and make me something delicious. I heard that you guys caught a lot of prey. It looks like I'm going to have a feast today."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. The meal will be ready in a while. I'll ask Brother Liangzi and Dongsheng to invite a few old men over and have a drink with you. You'll be happy today, but the wine is still limited. I think you don't mind, right?" Liang Yiyi said with a smile.
When the old man heard that he could have a few drinks with his old friends tonight, he was immediately overjoyed. He wished his granddaughter could come to such gatherings more often. How could he have any objections? He immediately said, "No objection, no objection, grandpa will listen to you."
"Okay, grandpa, I'll go deal with the prey first. I promise you will have delicious barbecue later." Liang Yiyi said.
It was already late. If someone else were to deal with those things, it would probably take another hour. Liang Yiyi didn't want to let the old man go hungry. Didn't he hear him say that he hadn't even had dinner for this dinner? So of course she had to do it herself.
After finding an open space, Liang Yiyi asked Uncle Zhang to bring the robe over first, and took out the dagger she often used. With a few "swishes", the robe was separated into skin and flesh. With a few more "swishes", the internal organs of the robe were also dealt with. The speed stunned Uncle Zhang, who was ready to lend a hand,!
"Uncle Zhang? Uncle Zhang!"
"Ah, Miss, you called me." Liang Yiyi called Uncle Zhang a few times before he came back to his senses. It was obvious that he was also shocked by the scene just now.
"Please help me put this robe in the kitchen and wash it first. Don't worry about the rest. I will pickle them together after I skin the pheasants and rabbits." Liang Yiyi said.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Uncle Zhang picked up the processed robe and walked towards the kitchen.
Liang Yiyi also brought over the pheasants and rabbits and prepared them in the same way. Soon, the prey became clean and slippery.
She took the things to the kitchen, marinated the washed robe with her special seasoning, took out two pheasants, cleaned them carefully, cut them slightly, and then put them in the pot of her own soup, added some ingredients, and stewed the soup.
Liang Yiyi was busy in the kitchen, and outside was also bustling with activity. Several old men were called over and were now sitting in the yard chatting animatedly.
Ming Huixin and Liang Jianjun couldn't help either, so they just sat in front of the old men and occasionally chatted with them.
Soon the meat was marinated and the evening barbecue officially began.
The younger ones already had some experience, so they all started to bake some delicious food for their elders.
The robes have been separated by Liang Yiyi. They are too big and slow to cook, so Zhu Xuejiang is responsible for roasting them.
Soon, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of food.
Ming Huixin also prepared a lot of things at home. Those who don’t like to eat much meat can roast some vegetables. There are also several kinds of seafood, steamed bread slices, etc. In short, she bought everything she could think of, fearing that everyone would not be full.
The meat was almost done roasting, and Liang Yiyi went into the kitchen. She took out a bowl of chicken soup and brought it to the old man. She greeted the old men first, then said softly to him, "Grandpa, you didn't eat anything last night. Eating some meat suddenly is not good for your stomach. Drink this bowl of chicken soup, and your stomach will feel better. I've let it cool for a while, so it's perfect to drink now."
"Oh, okay, grandpa will drink it right away. My granddaughter still cares about me." The old man picked up the chicken soup with a smile and drank it under the gaze of his granddaughter.
"Yi Yi, although we are not your biological grandfather, you grew up in front of us since you were a child, so you can be considered half-grandfather! How can you be so partial? The chicken soup is only given to Old Liang and we don't even get a share?" Grandpa Liu joked.
Mr. Liu's hair was already gray, but his eyes were bright and he was slightly thin. He wore a light yellow short-sleeved Tang suit, black trousers with auspicious cloud patterns, and a pair of soft-soled handmade cloth shoes. He smiled with full energy and looked very energetic.
"My grandpa didn't eat anything at night and has been hungry until now, so I specially made some soup for him to warm his stomach. The grandpas must have eaten at home at night. If I give each of you a bowl of soup, you won't be able to eat those good things. I'm obviously doing this for your own good, how can you still say that I'm partial?" Liang Yiyi pouted.
"Brother Liang! I am really jealous of you. Look at your children and grandchildren, every one of them is lovable, especially this little girl. She is so thoughtful, smart, sensible, and filial. No, I want to bring this girl home to be my granddaughter more and more now." said Grandpa Liu.
"Go away, go away. I only have this one granddaughter, and you still want to snatch her from me? Aren't you trying to make me unhappy on purpose?" Grandpa Liang said with a smile.
"Well, if I'm wrong to love your granddaughter, then I won't say anything more to save you trouble." Old Liu laughed.
Seeing that her grandfather had drunk up the chicken soup, Liang Yiyi didn't stay here any longer. She still had to go get food for the other old men.
She first put some easier-to-digest food on a plate, then sliced the roasted pork and rabbit meat and arranged them on the plate. Zhang Juan and Liu Wenliang helped her bring the food to the old men.
Comrade Zhu Erpang handed a large piece of roasted pork to Liang Yiyi and asked her to help cut it. Then he carried the plate to Grandpa Zhu and said, "Grandpa, please try it. This is roasted by your grandson himself. It tastes very good. You should eat more!"
"Hmph, you little brat, why are you so attentive today? Are you up to something bad again?" The slightly fat Mr. Zhu said warily.
