After breakfast, the highlight is about to begin. At noon, she plans to make barbecue for the children, so there are a lot of things to prepare, such as slicing pork belly and processing various seafood.
You also need to get some charcoal for the barbecue.
Fortunately, after Sun Meimei and the others finished their meal, they all came over to help.
Those who wash vegetables wash vegetables, and those who cut meat cut meat.
Song Shiwei took Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin and Zhou Tingyue, carrying firewood and shovels, and went to an empty slope.
The production of charcoal is simple, but also difficult. The most important thing is the method.
Because when making charcoal, there cannot be too much air flow, otherwise the charcoal will burn completely, but some air flow is needed.
Therefore, Song Shiwei needed to dig an earthen kiln on the slope.
Then light the firewood you brought, slowly put some small firewood in, then put the large wooden sticks next to it, let the fire slowly spread over, and then wait for the wooden sticks to burn slowly. This process will take a long time.
After waiting for about half an hour, when the wooden stick inside turns red, it means that the fuel on the outside has almost burned out, and charcoal can be made at this time.
There are many ways to make charcoal. You can take out the redwood sticks and put them in water to make charcoal, or you can choose to cut off the air to make it into charcoal.
Song Shiwei directly broke up the soil on the earthen kiln with a shovel and pressed it on the burnt firewood. Finally, he buried all the soil he had dug out before and stepped on it to make it firm.
After the process was completed, Song Shi smiled and clapped his hands.
"Okay, wait until noon and we'll come over to dig charcoal!"
Zhou Lin was obviously surprised.
"Mom, can we make charcoal like this?"
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will bring you here to dig at noon, and you will know!"
When I went back with a few people, I happened to see a soldier on duty at the sentry post, bringing Xiao Cui and the others over.
As soon as Xiao Cui saw Song Shiwei, she ran over happily.
"Sister Weiwei, happy birthday!"
Xiaojun and Gousheng also shouted: "Sister Weiwei, happy birthday!"
Xiao Cui embarrassedly took out the sweater she had knitted from behind her back.
"Sister Weiwei, I didn't know what kind of birthday gift to prepare for you, so I knitted you a sweater! I wonder if you like it?"
Song Shiwei took a look and saw that it was a blue sweater with various patterns knitted on it, and even lace crocheted on the cuffs.
Very nice! Very beautiful!
"Did you knit this sweater yourself?"
Xiao Cui blushed and nodded.
"Who did you learn such a complicated weaving method from?"
Xiao Cui pursed her lips embarrassedly.
"I didn't learn from anyone, I just studied it at home!"
Song Shiwei was extremely surprised. She had never expected her hands to be so skillful! And she obviously had a talent for fashion design!
It’s amazing that I can come up with such a beautiful weaving method by studying it at home!
"Thank you, Xiao Cui, you are really amazing, I like you very much!"
When Xiao Cui heard that she liked it, her eyes lit up.
Sun Meimei heard the noise, came out to see, and was obviously surprised.
"Oh my god, Xiao Cui, you knitted this yourself? It's so beautiful, right? Teach me later!"
Xiao Cui nodded shyly: "Okay, Sister Meimei!"
Xiaojun also handed over the big bucket in his hand.
"Sister Weiwei, I don't know what to get you. I just caught a stingray a few days ago and I'm giving it to you as a birthday present. I hope you like it!"
"Ray?"
Now Song Shiwei was really surprised. This kind of stingray is usually difficult to catch on the shore.
“This is so precious!”
Xiaojun chuckled: "I don't know whether it's precious or not, but I know I'm happy to give it to Sister Weiwei as a gift!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Gousheng: "Brother Gousheng, didn't you prepare a gift for Sister Weiwei as well? Hurry and take it out!"
Only then did Song Shiwei notice that Gousheng had his hands behind his back and there was a suspicious blush on his face, and he was obviously a little embarrassed.
After hearing what Xiaojun said, he took out the things in his hand quite uncomfortably.
It was the pheasant that Song Shiwei saw that day, and a wild rabbit with a big and fat belly!
The picture comes from the Internet
The wild rabbit was very lively. The dog held its ears and it kept struggling in his hands!
"Sister Weiwei...this is for you!"
Song Shiwei was very touched: "Thank you! Thank you! I like your birthday gifts very much!"
Xinxin, Zhou Wei, Wenwen and several other children immediately gathered around.
"Wow!! It's a little rabbit! So cute!"
"Yeah, it's so cute!"
Zhou Wei looked at Gousheng with admiration: "Brother Gousheng, how come you are so amazing? You can even catch pheasants and rabbits! That's amazing!"
The dog, who had never been praised by anyone, suddenly blushed with embarrassment and rubbed his hands awkwardly.
"No, no more! Hehehe..."
But it was obvious that Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin and other older children were also attracted.
"That's really impressive, Brother Gousheng, how did you catch it? Can you teach us?"
Having said that, he pulled him and Xiaojun aside to ask for advice.
Song Shi smiled and turned his gaze away from them, then turned to Xiao Cui and said, "Come on, Xiao Cui, let's go inside!"
Xiao Cui smiled and nodded, then followed.
There were many children coming today, so Song Shiwei simply took out some of the fruits and candies he bought last time and let the children eat them.
She grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to Xiao Cui: "Take it and go back with Xiao Jun to eat it!"
Xiao Cui waved her hands quickly: "No need, Sister Weiwei, save some for Xinxin and the others."
But how could Song Shiwei not see the envy in her eyes.
He stuffed the candy in his hand directly into her pocket: "They still have some. Take these back with you and Xiaojun and Gousheng to eat! Besides, I have to go to Qing City in a few days, so I will buy more for them then!"
Xiao Cui then took it and covered her pocket carefully, as if it was not filled with candy but a lot of money.
Song Shiwei felt very distressed. Children nowadays are much happier. Eating too much sweets will damage their teeth. They have to eat all kinds of lollipops, milk candies, and snacks.
But children of this generation are reluctant to eat any candy they see.
I really hope that the planned economy will soon be over. Only after reform and opening up can the country truly develop and the people can live a good life.
In the yard, Zhou Tingyue had already cleaned the oven he had built earlier, and the wire mesh on it was also brushed clean and shiny.
Song Shiwei, Sun Meimei and others sat at the door, stringing sliced pork belly and various seafood.
She also prepared a lot of vegetables, such as potato chips, sweet potato chips, mushrooms, leeks, and a few large eggplants, which are all essential small vegetables for barbecue!
In addition to fish, squid and shrimp are also skewered.
Just then, a car suddenly drove into the compound.
