Back in the kitchen, Shu Jiaying prepared the charcoal rack, then she took out the marinated bamboo rats, skewered them, and grilled them directly on the charcoal rack.
A few minutes later, the aroma of meat drifted around the main room and into Xiaohua's room.
Xiaohua, who was still sleeping soundly, instinctively sniffed the strange and delicious meaty scent, and she uncontrollably sat up straight in bed.
After putting on her shoes, Xiaohua ran into the kitchen impatiently. When she saw the golden barbecue, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Sister Jiaying, what kind of meat is this? I've never smelled this kind of meat before. It smells so good!"
Shu Jiaying had removed the head of the pickled bamboo rat, so Xiaohua naturally couldn't tell what kind of animal the meat was.
Shu Jiaying handed a roasted bamboo rat to Xiaohua.
"How about trying it?"
Xiaohua immediately took the bamboo rat.
With the steam rising from above, Xiaohua took a bite of the bamboo rat's leg. When her teeth and cheeks touched the meat, the tenderness, crispness, freshness, saltiness, and spiciness all danced in her mouth. The delicious taste reached the tip of her tongue. Xiaohua shouted with joy, "Wow... It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious barbecue. This is a million times better than the braised pork leg cooked by Auntie. Sister Jiaying, I'm so happy..."
Xiaohua, who was so moved by the food that she almost burst into tears, ate the bamboo rat on a bamboo skewer in big mouthfuls.
After finishing a bamboo rat, Xiaohua asked, "Sister, can I have another one?"
"Of course, you can have as many skewers as you want."
Shu Jiaying wrapped the other three roasted bamboo rats in oil paper.
Seeing that Shu Jiaying was about to go out, Xiaohua hurriedly asked, "Sister Jiaying, where are you going? Aren't you going to have barbecue with me?"
Shu Jiaying touched Xiaohua's head.
"There are five skewers of grilled meat in the bowl. Xiaohua, wait until you finish this one and then take another one from the bowl. But remember to drink the wild vegetable soup. The wild vegetable soup is cooling and can prevent sore throats caused by eating grilled meat."
"I see, Sister Jiaying. Then take some skewers of barbecue out there. Do you plan to let the village head have a taste too?"
Shu Jiaying smiled and nodded.
"Yes, let Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu also taste the barbecue."
"Well, then Sister Jiaying, please go quickly. Come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Having said that, Xiaohua sat quietly without moving.
Shu Jiaying laughed.
"Little girl, I'll be back soon. Remember to drink more wild vegetable soup."
After instructing Xiaohua, Shu Jiaying picked up the packaged roasted bamboo rat and left. She knew that with Grandma Xu being such a foodie, she would definitely love her roasted bamboo rat.
Thinking of this, Shu Jiaying couldn't help but smile.
…
Guangming Village. Xu Family
“Cough cough cough… cough cough…”
The sound of an old lady coughing violently was heard in the room. Grandma Xu patted her chest and shouted towards the main hall.
"Wentao, where have you been? You heard me coughing so hard, but you didn't come to see me. Do you want to wait until I die before you show up? Cough cough... cough..."
“…”
Unable to hear a response from Chief Xu, she couldn't bear the dry pain in her throat any longer, so she called out to the door again, "Feng Qiao'er...you stinky woman, didn't you hear me coughing? Hurry up and pour me a glass of water to moisten my throat."
“…”
Feng Qiaoer didn't answer Grandma Xu either.
