Gu Xinran took out the red radish charcoal she had collected from the Sun family and a simple barbecue grill, and asked her grandmother and mother to bring her younger siblings to start grilling the marinated rabbit legs.
Teach them to put more charcoal first, roast the surface with high heat to dry it out, then reduce the amount of charcoal and roast it slowly with low heat to allow the aroma of the sauce to better blend with the meat, and also brush oil while roasting.
Grandpa Gu looked at the two baskets of freshly processed roe deer meat and a pile of rabbit meat and chicken, and a bright smile appeared on his face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out.
Gu Xinran walked over and said with a smile: "Grandpa, we are awesome! There is more meat than we can eat. I want to pick the best ones to reward everyone and myself."
After saying that, he picked out more than ten pounds of roe deer meat and asked Brother Gu to help cut it into small pieces.
Seeing that he had taken so much, Grandpa Gu stared at the meat with reluctance, and inwardly he sighed, "What a waste! What a waste! To satisfy the craving for food, it's too extravagant!"
But this was suggested by the little ancestor Ranran, so no matter how reluctant he was, he had to endure it. Out of sight, out of mind. Grandpa Gu reluctantly agreed and turned to join the team roasting rabbit legs.
The pieces of meat cut by Brother Gu were uniform in size and of moderate thickness, and Gu Xinran praised him generously.
"Brother, you cut so quickly and well, your knife skills are top-notch!"
I heard that in this era, men generally did not enter the kitchen, and were told to stay away from the kitchen. But it was okay in the Gu family, and their grandfather and brother were happy to help.
After receiving the praise, Brother Gu was full of energy and was able to cut another ten kilograms.
Gu Xinran soaked the cut roe deer meat in cold water. After the blood was removed, she placed it in a bowl and sprinkled it with her secret barbecue sauce to marinate.
Roe deer meat is pure lean meat. Gu Xinran took out some fatty pork from the space, cut it into thick slices, marinated them together, and then skewered them together. When grilled, the oil flavor would be stronger.
Before long, the rabbit legs may be almost cooked, and the aroma spreads, making people salivate.
In order to eat the delicious food, the two little guys resisted their sleepiness and persisted until now.
Tingting looked at the golden rabbit legs, swallowed her saliva, and asked again and again: "Sister, sister, are you ready?"
Xuanxuan is no less impressive.
Gu Xinran couldn't bear to see their greedy looks, so she tore off two small pieces of meat from the side and let them taste it first.
She brushed it with the secret seasoning again, grilled it for a while, and announced that it was ready to eat.
The family members sat around the grill, each with a rabbit leg, and everyone stared at Grandpa Gu.
This family still has basic table manners. Only after the elders start eating can everyone feel free to enjoy their meal.
Grandpa Gu took a bite and was so delicious that he was dizzy.
When it was just roasted, I could smell the unique fragrance that made my mouth water. Now when I put it in my mouth, I find that the rabbit meat is tender, peppery and numb, filling my entire mouth.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Ran Ran, what kind of magical baking method is this? It's so delicious!"
Seeing grandpa start eating, everyone couldn’t wait to enjoy the food, it was really delicious!
Xuanxuan was so satisfied with the meal that he even said something else: "This taste should only be found in heaven, it's rare to taste it in the world!"
Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Gu Xinran thought it could be even better. How can there be barbecue without wine?
He took out a small jar of tiger bone wine to liven up the atmosphere, and cut a large plate of fruit for everyone to eat.
Only Xuanxuan and Tingting enjoyed the whole rabbit leg to their heart's content, while the others didn't get enough.
For the big eaters Xiao Ba and Brother Gu, it was just an appetizer.
It just so happened that the roe deer meat was almost marinated, so Gu Xinran called everyone over to skewer it together, with a piece of fat sandwiched between two pieces of roe deer meat.
As the food was skewered and grilled, the aroma filled the air and drifted to the neighboring Qiu and Zhang families.
Unable to resist their greed, the two elders came over to see what delicious food they were making and to learn from them.
Seeing Master Qiu and Uncle Zhang coming over, Grandpa Gu hurriedly stood up and greeted them: "It's better to come at the right time than to come early. Come and try the barbecue that Ran Ran made recently. It tastes amazing."
After eating a skewer of roe deer meat, the two children couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
The empty seat is just enough for two people.
The two patriarchs couldn't resist the temptation, and after expressing their gratitude, they happily stayed.
The roe deer kebabs with fat sizzle on the grill, emitting a charred aroma.
The taste is different from that of rabbit legs. The tenderness of roe deer meat and the aroma of fat form a delicate balance.
This made Master Qiu and Uncle Zhang swallow their saliva in embarrassment.
Brother Gu quickly handed them the grilled skewers, and Gu Xinran brought two glasses and poured them wine.
Grandpa Gu accompanied them in eating and drinking, and the two of them completely forgot about their journey to obtain the scriptures.
The aroma became stronger and stronger, and the other people from the two families could not wait any longer. They each brought a large piece of meat to the door to eat and drink for free.
Fortunately, there are only three families living nearby, otherwise they would not be able to handle it if the whole village came.
Grandpa Gu simply invited Village Chief Li and Doctor Guo to come over as well.
Gu Xinran took the younger generation to pickle roe deer meat, and secretly took out some venison from the space so that everyone could eat their fill.
The barbecue lasted until late at night and everyone returned home with great satisfaction.
Before leaving, Grandpa Gu gave the village chief and Doctor Guo a skinned rabbit each.
The next day, it was another difficult day for Gu Xinran to get up early. As she was still growing, she wished she could sleep ten hours a day.
After breakfast we continued on our journey and the day went smoothly.
It is the eleventh day since we fled the famine. We will arrive in Hong County tomorrow. Everyone is very happy because there will be one less stop on the journey south.
I don’t know what the situation is in Hong County now. I hope we can get supplies again. Some families with little water storage are running out of water.
But the order to move south had been issued a few days ago, and perhaps the place was deserted, so it was unlikely that supplies would be obtained.
I was so happy that I walked a little further, and when night fell, I prepared to find a place to camp.
The outline of a village could be vaguely seen not far away, and everyone was overjoyed.
It is still comfortable to live in a house, which is warm and safe.
Brother Gu and Brother Qiu took two team leaders to investigate and found that there were still people living in the village.
As we approached the village, we saw several old men and half-grown children guarding the entrance with hoes and sickles.
Seeing the team of more than 200 people, they immediately became nervous, lined up in a row, and blocked the way into the village.
An old man in a blue patched jacket said coldly: "Hurry up and leave. Outsiders are not welcome in our village."
Village Chief Li clasped his fists and saluted, trying to argue, "We are not bad people. We came from Dafeng County and passed through your precious place. We hope you can do us a favor and give us a shabby house to shelter us from the wind."
The old man looked at everyone in Qingshan Village seriously. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and there was a struggling expression on his face.
The village chief sensed the other party's hesitation and continued to persuade them: "Look, most of this group are elderly, children, women and children. Please have pity on them and lend them some shelter.
Sooner or later, your village will have to embark on the journey south. If you help others today, they will help you tomorrow."
My father-in-law discussed the matter with several elderly people around him for a long time, and even had an argument.
Finally, they agreed to vacate the three houses at the end of the village for the people of Qingshan Village to stay overnight, but asked them not to walk around the village.
Gu Xinran always felt something strange when walking past her father-in-law.
