Jiang Yanqing was bored at home in the afternoon, so she was thinking about what to eat in the evening. After thinking about it, she decided that barbecue and beer were the best match in summer.
It has been several months since I came here, and I haven't eaten barbecue. When I suddenly thought of it, Jiang Yanqing swallowed her saliva several times.
Think about the ingredients readily available at home, and a piece of salted pork belly that can be sliced and grilled on skewers.
There are also the steamed buns brought back from Qi's house at noon, so we have the staple food. We can toast the steamed bun slices and sprinkle some white sugar on them. They will be crispy and fragrant.
There are also eggplants in the field, so you can make garlic roasted eggplants, and chives.
Finally, Jiang Yanqing took out another bag of chicken wings from the space, marinated them with seasoning for two hours, and put them on wooden skewers.
Thinking that Fang Mingxiao had a good appetite, Jiang Yanqing made a little more. When Fang Mingxiao entered the yard, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of barbecue ingredients.
Because of limited materials, Jiang Yanqing built two rows of red bricks in the yard, placed charcoal in the middle, and then the skewers could be placed on them for roasting.
Fang Mingxiao watched Jiang Yanqing's movements for a while, then walked over and squatted down, taking the stick from Jiang Yanqing's hand and saying, "Let me do it."
Jiang Yanqing was sweating profusely from the roasting heat, so she stood up and offered her place to Fang Mingxiao, asking, "Would you like sour plum soup or watermelon juice?"
Fang Mingxiao answered without hesitation, "Watermelon juice."
Jiang Yanqing had made sour plum soup once before when she was in the city. For Fang Mingxiao's taste buds, it was too sour and too sweet, which was really unbearable.
Jiang Yanqing nodded and went into the kitchen. After a while, she came out with a kettle. She picked up the two cups on the low table where the ingredients were placed and poured each of them a glass of bright red watermelon juice.
Fang Mingxiao was flipping the meat skewers when Jiang Yanqing picked up her cup and drank slowly. The watermelon juice was delicate and sweet. It was made with the juicer in the space. The pulp was filtered out and two ice cubes were added. It tasted just right.
When the skewers were almost cooked, Jiang Yanqing sprinkled a handful of the barbecue seasoning that he had carefully prepared on them, and the aroma instantly rose to a higher level. When he took the first bite of the skewers, Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but sighed with satisfaction.
"It's so delicious! I've missed this taste so much."
Fang Mingxiao raised his eyebrows calmly and took a bite. The aroma of the skewers kept lingering on his tongue, making it impossible to resist and indulge in its beauty, just like the cheerful and bright girl in front of him.
After eating the barbecue, it was already late, and Jiang Yanqing was too lazy to clean up. She sent Fang Mingxiao to wash up, and then went to Qi's house to sleep.
I locked the door and entered the space. Staying in the space in summer is more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room.
After staying there for a few days, a week passed quickly. Qi Jiaming's leg had healed a lot. The wound had scabbed over and he could even use a little strength.
This discovery made everyone in the Qi family very happy, and they were extremely grateful to Fang Mingxiao. This matter came to an end for the time being, so Jiang Yanqing also decided to go to the city.
After making an agreement with Aunt Lin, Fang Mingxiao would come back once a week to give Qi Jiaming an acupuncture. The two of them packed up their things and left by car early in the morning.
This car was used to transport supplies, delivering food to the canteen at the coal mine. Qi Aiguo used his connections to bring the two of them to the county town.
Jiang Yanqing certainly wouldn't refuse the opportunity to avoid having to squeeze into the bus. When getting off the bus, she gave the man a box of cigarettes worth one dollar to express her gratitude.
Although Qi Aiguo may have done a favor, Jiang Yanqing didn't want to trouble him in vain, but the final reward was also ideal.
The driver was also a straightforward person. After getting the cigarettes, he said that he would make two trips to the county town every Monday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. If you want a ride next time, you can find him.
Jiang Yanqing of course also thanked him politely, and the two got off the car not far from the supply and marketing cooperative. They also had to go to Ahua Tailor Shop to have a final talk with Sister Ahua.
Fang Mingxiao also followed them, but he found a bookstore to read and waited for Jiang Yanqing to finish her business before going to the city together.
Jiang Yanqing quickly arrived at Ahua's tailor shop. This time the shop was open and there were two customers in the store buying clothes.
Jiang Yanqing stood at the door and waited for a while. Only after the two guests left did Sister Ahua notice her.
"Sister Xiao Jiang is here, come in and cool down for a while."
Jiang Yanqing also happily entered the tailor shop, but saw that there were obviously fewer things in the shop, and a large piece of cloth that was piled at the back was empty.
Sure enough, before Jiang Yanqing could even speak, Ah Hua said directly, "Little Jiang, I've thought about it carefully these past few days. I'm going to do it with you."
"I've done all the hard work, no matter how tiring it is. I can just start over again. I'm not afraid of anything anymore."
Although Jiang Yanqing was surprised by Sister Hua's change of attitude, she still replied with a smile, "Sister Hua, let's do it together."
The two women, who were more than ten years apart, smiled at each other, and there was no need to worry about many things anymore.
Finally, the two agreed that Jiang Yanqing would go back and draw some more drafts, while Ahua would clear out the tailor shop, renovate it, and open a women's clothing store.
