Chapter 50 Lamb Kebabs
"Mengmeng, hurry up, the captain has started to distribute the mutton. He said that it will be distributed to each household. The remaining ones can be bought with money. Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to buy them," Wu Ruirui ran over, grabbed Li Meng and ran towards the village committee, ignoring Yao Yuan who was standing behind them.
The remaining two sheep are very big, and Li Meng takes them to graze every day. From time to time, when Li Meng is bored, she takes out feed from the space to feed them. Anyway, the things in the space have an automatic replenishment function and cannot be used up, so they might as well be idle.
When the team leader saw Li Meng coming, he said to everyone, "Li Zhiqing fed the sheep very well, so they grew so big. So I decided to give Li Zhiqing a pound of meat. Do you have any objections?"
No, we have no objection, Aunt Ma and her family took the lead in shouting, and other villagers followed suit.
"Okay, we'll start distributing the mutton now. Each family can send a representative to register and then come get the mutton." As the captain gave an order, the villagers quickly lined up to register, anxious to get the meat and take it home to eat.
That evening, the air above Huanglong Village was filled with the aroma of mutton. Of course, the most fragrant was the mutton skewers made by Li Meng.
The entire educated youth site was allocated 2 kilograms of mutton. Then, Li Meng, Wu Ruirui and Zhou Hui cooked separately, and then each of them was given their own portion. The 1 kilogram of mutton that Li Meng got plus the one that the educated youth site allocated was only a little over 1 kilogram. Wasn't it enough for Li Meng to eat alone?
Then Li Meng waved her hand and spent money to buy another 3 kilograms of mutton from the team leader. Her principle has always been that if you want to eat, you should have a good meal. It is most uncomfortable to have neither enough nor too little.
After asking Zhou Hui to sharpen the bamboo sticks and Wu Ruirui to wash the mutton, Li Meng turned around, went into the room, closed the door, and went into the space to get out the barbecue condiments. When she entered, Dandan was sleeping soundly on a big tree at the entrance of the supermarket.
Usually Dandan stays in the space. Li Meng will let it out when it is needed. Li Meng is also afraid that it will fly around the village and get hurt. People nowadays have no awareness of protecting animals. Besides, Dandan is a little bigger than an ordinary starling, and there are probably many people who want to catch it for meat. Therefore, it is safest for it to stay in the space.
"Mengmeng, the mutton has been washed. Let me do what you want to do next," Wu Ruirui said to Li Meng who had just entered the kitchen.
"Cut the mutton into thumb-sized pieces. I'll go get some potatoes and give you something different tonight." After saying that, Li Meng smiled mysteriously and went out.
Arriving at Auntie Ma's house, Li Meng took a bag of brown sugar and wanted to exchange it for some potatoes and garlic heads, but Auntie Ma refused to take it and insisted that she take it away directly. In the end, she had no choice but to take it back.
"Sister Meng, I have peeled the bamboo sticks. Do you want to do anything else?" Zhou Hui asked.
"Bring me the big iron pot and bring in some bigger firewood," Li Meng ordered Zhou Hui to work, and he put the cut potatoes and mutton on bamboo sticks respectively. Wu Ruirui looked at Li Meng and picked up the bamboo sticks to string them up.
Everything was ready. Li Meng took out the thin iron net and placed it on the stove where the pot was originally placed. The thick wood in the stove was burning with a crackling sound.
After brushing some oil on the lamb skewers, they started to grill. Soon the aroma wafted out of the kitchen. When the barbecue ingredients were sprinkled on, the whole house was filled with fragrance.
"Oh my God, this smells so good. Zhou Hui, your saliva is about to drip out," Wu Ruirui teased Zhou Hui.
"Tsk, you're still criticizing me? You're not much better than me. Your eyes are so greedy that they're about to fall on the mutton skewers," Zhou Hui fought back, not wanting to be outdone.
Okay, stop arguing, come and eat. Li Meng gave each of them a handful, and they started eating while standing by the stove.
"It's really delicious, it's got this exact taste. Li Meng almost gave a thumbs up to her own cooking skills." She even considered opening a barbecue restaurant in the future. Zhou Hui and Wu Ruirui ate so well without even raising their heads.
"Mengmeng, this is the most delicious lamb dish I have ever eaten." Wu Ruirui couldn't stop eating the lamb skewers in his hand, and Zhou Hui also gave Li Meng a thumbs up.
Li Meng poured them both some Coke, and lied that it was the soda she bought in town last time. The two did not suspect anything and enjoyed themselves eating and drinking.
The remaining educated youth here looked at the white mutton slices in their bowls and secretly swallowed their saliva when they smelled the overbearing aroma coming from Li Meng and her friends' small stove.
Li Laidie didn't care about anything as long as there were people around. While everyone was stunned, her chopsticks flew everywhere. She quickly finished the last bite of rice in the bowl, wiped her mouth and prepared to leave. She wanted to see how Li Meng cooked mutton. It smelled so damn good!
"Tsk, look at her useless appearance, she must be going out to flatter someone to get some food," Liu Huan said sarcastically to Wang Fang beside him, with a disdainful expression.
Li Laidi has never been an easy-going person, especially when it comes to not being taken advantage of. He immediately turned around and said sternly, "I just like to flatter people. I'll flatter whoever gives me food. Can you do that? Even if you go, others may not let you. Look at yourself, with a pointed face and a lot of bad intentions. Bah!" After that, Li Laidi walked away in a swagger, and Liu Huan was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
"This is for you," Li Meng handed the roasted potatoes and garlic to the two of them. "You can't eat only meat, so eat some vegetables to balance it out."
"You are really amazing. I can taste the meat flavor from the potatoes. I strongly request that I eat potatoes like this in the future," Wu Ruirui praised sincerely after taking a bite of potato chips.
"This garlic is fragrant, not spicy at all, and soft and sticky." Zhou Hui grimaced from the burn, but he did not forget to praise Li Meng's cooking skills.
The three of them were having a great time eating and drinking!
"Mengmeng, hehe, I come here uninvited!" Li Laidi walked in directly without any embarrassment.
"How do you eat it this way? I've never seen lamb eaten like this?" Li Laidi talked to himself, his eyes fixed on the lamb skewers.
"Sister Lai Di, here, you try it too." Li Meng knew what Li Lai Di meant! Without saying much, she handed Li Laidie a few skewers of lamb and roasted potatoes and garlic. To her, a few skewers of lamb didn't matter, and she didn't dislike Li Laidie's straightforwardness.
"I've eaten, so you don't have to give me so much. I'm just curious. I smelled it over there, it was so delicious, so I came over." Hehe, although Li Laidie said to take less, his hands still took it honestly!
Then she started to flatter him a lot. Her talking did not stop her from eating skewers at all. Li Meng found it funny just watching her.
“If you like to eat it this way, we can do it this way when we catch wild rabbits in the mountains. We can also roast mushrooms and other things this way. You have to believe in my cooking skills,” Li Meng said proudly. She felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw that her delicious food was recognized and praised by others.
"Rabbits can be eaten like this. When we get to the mountain, I will run myself to pieces to catch two rabbits and roast them like this." Li Laidie was thinking about the next meal while eating this one, and he thought to himself that it would be great if he could go up the mountain right now!
