Chapter 156 Barbecue
When Xu Qingmeng heard that they were caught in the morning, her eyes lit up even more. She turned around and shook the bamboo clip at Gu Yunyi: "Twenty kilograms!"
Then he lowered his voice and leaned close to Gu Yunyi's ear: "This is a good thing, stir-fry it with the spices you just bought..."
Gu Yunyi looked at the densely packed hard-shelled creatures in the wooden basin and his Adam's apple moved. Although he had never eaten them, he still knew his wife's cooking skills.
Xu Qingmeng said it was delicious, so it must be right. She bought some shrimps and two sea bass, planning to grill the fish in the evening, and also bought a lot of fresh shrimps.
After Xu Qingmeng paid the bill, she began to explain the barbecue to Gu Yunyi.
"Not that kind, but a small platform made of blue bricks, with a net on top and charcoal fire underneath."
Xu Qing still didn't understand what she dreamed about Gu Yunyi, so she gestured to him and explained as she did so.
It is at the corner of the wall of Huang Boyang's yard next to Qingzhuan, but I don't know if the iron net that Xu Qingmeng mentioned is still there. However, charcoal is easy to get.
Xu Qingmeng's gestures were very detailed, and Gu Yunyi understood it instantly.
Gu Yunyi nodded: "Okay, I understand. Go back and just prepare the food. I will take care of the rest."
Xu Qing dreamed that Gu Yunyi didn't mind her making trouble at all. Instead, he cooperated with her very well and even asked her a lot of questions about other things that needed to be prepared.
At this moment, Xu Qingmeng felt as if she had really found a treasure. She was truly fortunate to have met Gu Yunyi after traveling through time and space.
She took the initiative to step forward and hugged his arm, her voice gentle: "It's great to have you! Thank you."
Gu Yunyi coughed twice, then held Xu Qingmeng's hand: "Why are you thanking me? This is what a husband should do, and..."
Xu Qingmeng raised her head and glanced at Gu Yunyi, only to see his ears slightly red, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi went to buy some more ingredients. Barbecue is not picky, anything can be grilled.
Xu Qing dreams of having many people,
But I bought a lot.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi had just arrived home. Hui Niang looked at the things they were holding with a look of surprise on her face and asked, "What is this?"
"Mrs. Meng said we'd have crayfish and barbecue for dinner, so we bought a lot all at once."
Everyone was as confused as Gu Yunyi. Xu Qingmeng explained it again to everyone, and Zhou Yuanjia was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
After listening to what Xu Qingmeng said, Fang Ziheng also became very interested in the taste of the crayfish and the barbecue.
Hui Niang was also very interested in the food, so she happily asked her what she wanted to prepare.
All the ingredients have been bought, but the crayfish needs to be processed properly.
Hui Niang patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, leave all this to me."
Gu Yunyi, Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng were outside setting up the barbecue stove, while Xu Qingmeng was in the kitchen preparing the barbecue ingredients and dipping sauce.
There were quite a lot of people and their tastes were different, so we mixed several kinds of ingredients, dry ingredients, wet ingredients, sweet and sour flavors, chili sauce, etc.
As for crayfish, Xu Qingmeng also plans to make two flavors, one with garlic and one with spicy flavor.
After the crayfish were processed, Hui Niang started to prepare other ingredients. Xu Qingmeng also joined in, thinking of preparing the barbecue ingredients first and then cooking the crayfish.
Xu Qingmeng and her friends usually use bamboo sticks for their stall, so they have no shortage of these sticks.
Meat such as mutton, beef and pork are marinated for a period of time and then skewered piece by piece. The same applies to vegetarian dishes.
However, this job was still very tiring. When Xu Qing thought it was almost done in his dream, he put it aside and handed it to Hui Niang, while he went to prepare to cook the crayfish.
Soon, the spicy aroma wafted through the kitchen, galangal and cardamom were stir-fried in the hot oil, dark red dried chili segments were surging like waves, and crayfish coated in sauce were crackling in the pot.
Xu Qingmeng saw Hui Niang looking over and said, "This is called Thirteen Spices." Xu Qingmeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and added a handful of pine branches to the stove.
"Thousands of miles of flavor, mountain yellow peel relieves greasiness, and straightening removes cold..."
The two pots of crayfish were cooked in two separate pots. This one was out of the pot, and the small oven outside was finally ready.
After starting the fire, Gu Yunyi put some charcoal on it, and soon the flame disappeared, leaving only the heat.
Hui Niang took out the crayfish from the pot, and Xu Qingmeng took a few skewers of mutton to test the fire.
The modern Xu Qingmeng's body is allergic to mutton and cannot eat it, but this body doesn't have that condition now.
She held the skewered mutton in one hand. The meat shrank due to the heat, and the sauce dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound, and soon a fragrant aroma seeped out.
When it is half-cooked, what drips down is not the sauce, but the gravy and fat, and the taste is even stronger.
The smell of crayfish was already very tempting, not to mention the smell of barbecue. A breeze blew and the fragrance floated everywhere.
Gu Yunyi didn't even need to call him, Huang Boyang had already arrived with drinks.
"Oh, this is a big move today, very novel!" Huang Boyang said: "Last time I was so busy eating that I didn't even have time to drink the wine. Today is good, this barbecue and wine are a perfect match!"
Zhou Yuanjia took it and said, "I think your wine is a little less, it may not be enough to drink!"
"What's the problem? There's plenty next door. I'll go back and get more after I finish drinking." Huang Boyang waved his hand, not caring at all.
He wanted to go to Xu Qingmeng's side, but when he turned around, he saw Hui Niang coming out with a basin of crayfish, so he hurried over to her.
"Hey, what is this? It looks delicious! It looks bright red, and the smell is very tempting!"
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, you have to be careful. This is just out of the pot, it's hot!"
Huang Boyang stared at the basin of crayfish and said, "Hey, hey, I know."
Zhou Yuanjia came close to Xu Qingmeng, his eyes glued to the mutton: "Does it look cooked?"
Xu Qingmeng couldn't help laughing: "No, but it will be done soon, just apply another coat of material."
Gu Yunyi, who was standing aside, did not indulge them and said, "Can you two stop staring at the food? Come here and learn a little. You will have to do it yourself later."
His wife is pregnant now, and she finally wants to eat something, but he can't let her do it all by herself. It would be good enough if he teaches them once.
Everyone learned how to bake and eat it themselves.
Huang Boyang and Zhou Yuanjia glanced at him and said in unison: "Promising."
After the two of them finished talking, Zhou Yuanjia suddenly thought of something and said, "Should we call Brother Jiang?"
