Chapter 135: Earning 5,000 taels from BBQ
Dan'er had already set up the barbecue grill and lit the charcoal specifically for barbecue.
The fire was burning fiercely at this moment, perfect for barbecue.
Ye Chutang was grilling meat, and Dan'er and Le'er went to cut the meat into strips when they had time.
Jun'er looked at the skewered vegetables and mushrooms and was eager to try.
"Eldest sister, how do you bake these vegetables?"
It was the first time he knew that vegetables could be grilled.
Ye Chutang couldn't find anything to place or support the grid.
You can only wait until the meat is cooked and the charcoal fire is low before you can grill the vegetables.
"Jun'er, don't be in a hurry, grill the meat first."
In ancient times, barbecue grills could only be used for grilling meat.
You can use an iron hook to hang the meat for grilling, or you can use two iron rods to skewer the meat and grill it flat.
Due to limited space, Ye Chutang grilled the deer chops flat and hung the grilled bear meat and wild boar meat.
While grilling, she brushed oil and barbecue ingredients on the grill.
After roasting for about two incense sticks of time, the pleasant aroma of meat filled the entire Ningchu Courtyard.
Seeing Jun'er licking his lips greedily, Ye Chutang cut some of the roasted outer layer for him.
It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired with the sauce, it looks very appetizing.
Jun'er gave the first bite to Ye Chutang before eating with relish.
"Jun'er, you are not in good health. Eat slowly and don't overeat."
"Jun'er knows."
It didn't take long before the meat was cooked.
Ye Chutang asked Shan'er and Le'er to come out to eat barbecue and deer chops.
She and Jun'er continued to roast the vegetables.
Shan Er: "Miss, let me come here, you can eat something first."
"No, I ate a lot of barbecue at noon, so I don't have much appetite right now. I'll just eat some grilled vegetables later."
The aroma of barbecue wafted out from Ningchu Courtyard and first entered Ye Anling's yard.
In order to maintain her figure and look good in her wedding dress, she has been eating very little recently.
After smelling the fragrance, I started drooling.
She said to the maid, "Go and see where the fragrance comes from and bring me something to eat."
"I obey your command."
The maid returned soon.
"Second Miss, it's Ning Chuyuan who is barbecuing. The eldest miss said that if you want to eat it, you should take one thousand taels to buy it."
Ye Anling widened her eyes in shock, "Is she crazy about money?"
"The eldest lady also said that if the second lady couldn't afford it, she didn't have to eat it."
Ye Anling knew that this was a way of provoking the opponent.
She knew very well that if she spent the money, she would not only be taken advantage of, but would also be laughed at by Ye Chutang.
But the aroma of barbecue was so tempting that she would definitely not be able to sleep or eat well if she couldn't eat it.
She reluctantly took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it to the maid.
“Go buy it quickly.”
When the maid went to Ningchu Courtyard with the banknotes, she found that the people in the master and the old lady's courtyard were also buying barbecue.
Ye Chutang received three thousand taels and distributed three plates of barbecue, including both meat and vegetables, and also provided sauces.
"If they still want to eat, as long as they are willing to pay, they will be full!"
So she earned five thousand taels in one night.
Ye Anling and Ye Jingchuan ate two plates, and Old Madam Ye ate one plate.
Ye Chutang packed the remaining food into a lunch box.
Before going to Dali Temple, she changed the medicine around Jun'er's neck and gave him acupuncture treatment.
"Jun'er, you need more rest to recover faster."
After giving the instructions, she went to the kitchen and looked at Dan'er who was still cutting meat strips.
"I'll be back a little late, so don't wait for me. Once you've cut the meat into pieces, just put them in an ice basin to keep them fresh."
Shan'er nodded, put the pheasant and rabbit in the ice basin into a sack and handed it to Ye Chutang.
"Be careful, young lady."
Ye Chutang went out carrying a lunch box and a sack.
After walking for a while, she found an empty corner and threw the sack into the space.
When she arrived at the Dali Temple, it was not yet the agreed time.
The officer guarding the door recognized Ye Chutang and immediately gestured for him to come in.
"Miss Ye, please come in. Shaoqing is already waiting for you in the prison."
Ye Chutang knew that there wouldn't be too many officers on duty at night, so he handed the food box over directly.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Let's share it."
The officials did not dare to accept Ye Chutang's gift.
"Miss Ye, you should just give it to Shao Qing. I'll take you to the prison."
"Thank you."
The prison of Dali Temple is on the north side and is divided into outer gate and inner gate.
As long as the prisoner is not under strict surveillance, family members can pay money to visit him through the outer gate.
The inner gate is for officials to pass through.
As soon as the outermost door of the prison was opened, the smell of blood hit me in the face.
The officer glanced at Ye Chutang and saw that she looked indifferent before he continued walking down.
After walking up the long staircase, you will reach the rest area where the officers guard the prisoners.
Further inside is the torture chamber.
There were all kinds of torture instruments hanging on the wall, looking dirty and eerie.
The smell of blood was so strong that it was nauseating, and the black ground was stained with old blood that had been there for who knows how many years.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chutang would be able to hold back.
After all, she had experienced the end of the world with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so the scene before her was child's play for her.
But now she was pregnant and couldn't stop feeling nauseous.
"vomit!"
As soon as she retched, Qi Yanzhou came towards her in a hurry.
"Miss Ye, are you okay? If you can't stand the prison environment, don't force yourself."
After saying that, he went to the rest area, poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Ye Chutang.
Not only did Ye Chutang not take the teacup, he also stuffed the food box into Qi Yanzhou's hands.
She took out a silver needle to block her sense of smell, and the feeling of nausea and vomiting immediately subsided.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. There's barbecue in the food box. The portion is quite large. Let everyone have a taste."
After saying that, she took the cup, drank the tea and rinsed her mouth.
Qi Yanzhou had already smelled the tempting aroma coming from the food box.
He handed the food box to the subordinate who brought Ye Chutang down, "Since this is Miss Ye's kind gift, take it and share it."
Although he also wanted to try it, he was too embarrassed to ask in front of Ye Chutang.
After his subordinate left with the food box, he looked at Ye Chutang, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Miss Ye, are you really okay?"
"It's alright, Your Majesty, please bring the person to the torture chamber. I want to finish this quickly."
