Chapter 86 Stone Barbecue
There was a separate campfire at the Shen family's side, with grain and meat porridge cooking in the pot, and a small fire next to the campfire.
Shen Qingqian set up a rack over the fire, with a flat stone slab hanging on it. On the stone slab were spread a few thin slices of wild boar meat, and the fat and lean slices of meat were sizzling with oil.
"It smells so good! Sixth sister, how did you come up with the idea of using stones to grill meat?" Shen Qingning was a foodie, and his eyes were almost glued to the pork.
Shen Qingqian flipped the meat slices with chopsticks made from tree branches, sprinkled them with salt and wild peppercorns, and then replied, "Our conditions are limited, and we don't have a pot, so of course we have to find a way. I was thinking of giving it a try, and I didn't expect it to actually work."
Nowadays, all kinds of iron plate barbecues can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. In her current situation, she can forget about iron plate, but she can still find a few stone slabs.
However, stones that can be used for barbecue are not easy to find. They need to be polished to be useful and suitable. The bluestone she is using now is the one she saw in the bamboo forest just now.
During this period, Shengze and Lingyun hunted a total of eight or nine wild boars. The Shen family received the most pork, and there are still dozens of kilograms left.
Since they were settling down tonight, Mrs. Wu took out a piece of rice weighing more than three pounds, chopped half of it into pieces and threw it into the pot to cook with miscellaneous grains. Shen Qingning begged her to roast the other half and eat it.
If pork weighing less than two pounds is directly roasted on tree branches, not to mention how it tastes, it will be difficult to divide among the sixteen people in the family plus the three brothers, a total of eighteen people.
So Shen Qingqian suddenly had the idea of making a barbecue meal, mainly to satisfy her own craving.
God knows how she got through this period of time. She really missed the various modern delicacies.
There is one more thing I must mention, that is, the meat of the hundred or so hyenas that were previously eaten was finally finished during this period of time!
Shen Qingqian was really disgusted from the bottom of her heart. The scene she saw at that time was definitely a psychological trauma in her life. Not to mention letting her eat hyena meat, it would be best not to mention the word hyena in front of her in the future.
In addition, there is another thing worth mentioning, that is, during the days of traveling, they picked up some salt stones by the streams along the way. After purification, it weighed about 100 kilograms. Now their team is not short of salt.
"Okay, come, let my aunt, second aunt and my mother have a taste first." Shen Qingqian put the roasted meat slices on another smaller stone slab and handed it to Shen Qingning.
Shen Qingning wailed, "Sixth sister, you are so cruel. Not only did it not come to my turn, but you also asked me to send it to my aunt and the others."
"Pfft," Shen Qingyu couldn't help laughing, "I'll go. After I finish roasting big brother and the others, it will be your turn."
Shen Qingning sighed again.
However, the Shen family has their own rules. The elders must use anything first, and then it is the turn of the younger generations. So Shen Qingning actually said that just because he was too greedy.
Everyone was used to her temper and no one laughed at her. Mrs. Lin even offered her the chance to go over and eat first, but Shen Qingning reluctantly refused.
"Sixth sister hasn't eaten yet, how can I, as her elder sister, eat before her?" She said this very righteously.
Shen Qingqian suppressed her laughter, moved her hands faster, and threw a piece of dry firewood into the fire.
In fact, she is also a foodie and understands the psychology of foodies very well, so she grilled a little more this time.
This was her first time baking, so she had to try to control the heat and make sure it was baked well before she dared to increase the amount.
The Shen family was in a happy mood, while other families were envious and some felt uncomfortable, such as Chen Er.
