Chapter 145: Melting Ice and Snow



"Second sister, these sweet potatoes are delicious when roasted. They are so fragrant and sweet!"

"It's good, but it's too hot in my hands, and it's a bit tiring." Song Tangcheng looked at his own small hands that had already turned black. He switched between his left and right hands from time to time, peeling the skin and blowing on it for a while.

There was no way, it was really too hot, but she was reluctant to put it down.

Seeing this, Cheng Fangyuan took it helplessly, helped her peel it, and waited until it cooled down a little before handing it to her.

Song Tanglan was watching this dog-abuse scene from the side, and suddenly felt that the sweet potato in his hand was not so fragrant anymore, and his stomach felt a little full.

But after watching for a while, she continued to eat, and kept comforting herself in her heart that she would get used to it after watching it for a long time, and just treat it as air and she couldn't see it.

"Little sister, there are eggplants in the cellar. Do you want to roast them? You roasted them very deliciously last year."

Song Tanglan had been ignoring them, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Second sister, how about we have a barbecue? I just happened to have gathered a lot of charcoal. Barbecue and roast chicken are the most delicious in this weather."

Song Tangcheng nodded when he heard this and thought about the stock in the cellar.

"Maybe we won't be able to have roast chicken. We still have two pheasants, which we'll have to save for soup. But we can have roast rabbit. We still have three rabbits. It's a pity we don't have any pork belly. The roast pork belly you made last year was delicious. We also have cabbage, peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, leeks, and lotus roots. We happen to have some in the cellar, so that should be enough."

When Song Tanglan heard that there were so many ingredients, her eyes lit up. Before the snow fell last year, she found a suitable iron plate in the warehouse at home and had a barbecue in the winter.

From then on, Song Tangcheng fell in love with the taste, but she was pregnant at the time and couldn't eat much, so she could only smell the fragrance and watch the two of them eat.

"These ingredients are enough. I didn't expect there would still be so many dishes at this time."

Song Tangcheng rolled his eyes when he heard this. "We had just finished harvesting the vegetables from our private plot, and it snowed not long after. The vegetables froze solid. Otherwise, you'd think they'd be preserved until now. They'd have rotted long ago! Look at those beans, they're still here."

After she said that, Song Tanglan thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. She couldn't help but sigh that entering winter early was also a good thing. At least they could store more vegetables.

Also because they did not make most of the vegetables into pickles and dried vegetables this year, they froze a lot of vegetables in the cellar.

After discussing it, they took out the vegetables, washed them, took out the iron plate and put it on the stove, and started grilling. The aroma of barbecue spread quickly, and soon the whole house was filled with that mouth-watering smell.

Especially when Cheng Fangyuan took out the rabbit skewers and roasted them over the fire, the sizzling sound from time to time was really mouth-watering.

Song Tanglan couldn't help swallowing at this time. Fortunately, the roasted rabbit would not be ready so quickly, so they ate the roasted vegetables on the grill first.

When the rabbit was almost roasted, Cheng Fangyuan took out a jar of honey and spread some on the rabbit, then roasted it for another ten minutes. The sweet aroma further aroused his appetite.

"It smells so good, Ayuan, is the rabbit ready?"

"Not yet, we have to bake it again." Cheng Fangyuan looked at the two people with shining eyes and smiled helplessly.

He had just cut a hole in the belly with a knife, and the inside was not fully cooked yet, so the two of them had to wait a little longer.

In this way, they ate the barbecue with multi-grain pancakes and enjoyed it with gusto. Especially when they smelled the aroma of the roasted rabbit, Song Tanglan felt that she could eat another pancake.

However, the aroma of barbecue was very penetrating, and soon the neighbors living around them also smelled it, especially Su Tao and the other two. The wind happened to be blowing towards their house, and the smell was really overwhelming.

Su Tao sniffed and said, "This time it's not roasted sweet potatoes, this time it seems to be roasted vegetables, and there is also the aroma of roasted rabbit. It smells so good, it makes me hungry."

Sun Jianhua looked at Su Tao with a dog nose and shook his head in amusement.

"You can even smell what's being roasted?"

"Of course, I'm the best at eating." After saying this, he patted his chest proudly.

Yu He was almost drooling at the temptation of the fragrance at this time. Looking at the sweet potatoes still roasting in the fire, he suddenly felt that they were not fragrant anymore.

The reason why they still had firewood to use for warming themselves at this time was because the three of them followed Cheng Fangyuan and the others up the mountain to collect firewood crazily. In addition, with their friends reminding them, they would never slack off. As a result, after such a long time, they still had firewood to keep warm.

"Why don't we grill some? Last year, the educated youth Xiao Song and his friends grilled some too. I think they used a teppanyaki iron plate. We just happen to have an extra teppanyaki iron plate. We have a lot of vegetables, but I'm not sure if we can grill them to the same aroma."

Su Tao asked with shining eyes. "Do you want to eat it too? I'll prepare it now. Don't worry, Lanlan taught me last year. I even tried it myself and found it's not difficult. I also bought some of the seasonings."

Yu He was immediately excited when he heard this. "Okay, come and help us with whatever we need to prepare."

Sun Jianhua watched the two men, full of energy, and thought about what they had in the cellar. "We should have some rabbits, so let's roast some!"

"There is only one left. Are you two willing to give it up?" Su Tao smelled the fragrance and actually wanted to eat it, but she thought that she would have to make something delicious to replenish her energy on the first day of work, so she thought of saving the rabbit for then.

"What's there to be reluctant about? It doesn't matter whether you eat it now or later. We can just buy meat when the time comes. I still have a meat ticket." Sun Jianhua comforted Su Tao who was lost in thought.
