Barbecue for New Year's Eve dinner is a technical job.
What? Do you think barbecue tastes the same all over the world?
nonexistent.
Especially here in her kitchen god (?)!
After fixing the two wolves on the wooden sticks with wires, Cheng Xi picked up a dagger and scratched the flower, then sprinkled a layer of secret seasoning on them.
At this time, Shen Xingqi had already prepared the charcoal.
The two set up the wolf meat and placed it on the "Y" wood fixed on both sides, preparing to grill it.
"Sister-in-law, are these vegetables going to be stir-fried later?"
"No, we'll serve them cold tonight."
The green vegetables in the wooden trough grew one after another, without being affected by the weather outside.
As a home-cooked dish, Cheng Xi usually washes it and stir-fries it in an iron pot.
But tonight was different.
There are dumplings stuffed with chopped cabbage in the front, and two roasted whole wolves in the back. There is really no need to add a few more stir-fries.
"To relieve the greasiness of cold vegetables, peel off two heads of garlic."
Spinach and rapeseed can be blanched and served with seasoning sauce, and lettuce can even be blanched.
"Leave it to me!"
Shen Xingqi happily picked up two heads of garlic from the kitchen, and the next second the attribute of Garlic Picker Girl was activated.
The night outside is getting darker, and the sounds of poultry and livestock can be heard in the distance from time to time.
Cheng Xi was shaking the wolf meat to make it evenly heated, while he was distracted.
It's Chinese New Year -
I always feel like something is missing.
Well, the Spring Festival Gala and fireworks.
After the garlic grilling girl finished her work, she handed over the barbecue work and went to the space to watch TV.
The Spring Festival Gala and fireworks are no longer designated, but you can reward yourself with a comedy movie!

In order to prevent bandits from attacking, patrols were also arranged to be on duty during New Year's Eve.
However, Shen Mantun was very humane in this regard. He arranged for four groups of people to rotate every hour tonight to ensure that everyone could go back to have New Year's Eve dinner with his mother-in-law and children.
"Brothers from the Cheng family, Xing Luo, stop staring. Go back when the time comes."
Shen Mantun walked slowly to the east of the village, holding on to his full belly, and replaced others by the way.
When Shen Xingluo saw that he was holding a small jug of wine in his hand, he knew that the food for the New Year's Eve dinner was good. When he heard his father-in-law's stomach growling, he planned to go back.
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, just stay here for an hour and go back soon."
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Daqian were returning from the east of the village. When they passed by the wooden house, they called the six bodyguard brothers who were chatting.
After a day of wandering around, they already had a certain understanding of Lin'an Mansion today, and they also had a deep understanding of Shenjia Village.
To be precise, I have a deep understanding of Da Gange's son-in-law!
"Juren Gong——"
"Uncle Xizi, just call me Xingluo."
"Nacheng, since you follow Xiaoxi and call me uncle, I won't be polite."
Zhang Xi walked beside Shen Xingluo, looking more and more The more I find this young person pleasing to my eyes.
"Uncle, I have something to ask you."
"Tell me."
"Can you really understand astronomy and geography through reading? How did you know there would be a snowstorm this year?"
After hearing this, several other brothers looked over. The curiosity in my heart is no less than that of Zhang Xi.
They had talked with Uncle Liu, the head of the Shen family today, and they knew that the food in the village was all thanks to Shen Xingluo. If he hadn't told them in advance, Shen's village would have been as miserable as other villages.
A reminder is enough to save many lives.
They only know that scholars are valuable, but this is the first time they intuitively feel how valuable they are.
It's simply a magical method!
Shen Xingluo: "."
You may not believe it, but reading can't predict the future.
But it still makes sense to make a guess based on reality.
"Uncles, you don't know. This year's weather has become abnormal since the autumn harvest."
Shen Xingluo connected the clues based on his memory and came to the conclusion that there will be a snow disaster. The seven people were stunned.
"Although I still don't quite understand it, I still think it makes some sense."
Scholars are really better than warriors like them!
Several people headed by Zhang Xi stood in awe. In
***
Space Villa, Cheng Xi hugged a cartoon pillow and nestled on the soft sofa, shaking with laughter.
A high-rated comedy movie is playing on the large LCD TV. As the plot develops, a series of baggage is revealed, making the audience want to stop.
The French fries and cola that Cheng Xi had prepared for herself had been exhausted, leaving only a few pieces of garbage on the table.
"Ring, ring, ring—"
the alarm bell rang in front of the table, and Cheng Xi reluctantly moved to the sofa.
"Ah, it's time so soon?"
I haven't finished the movie yet!
But the roasted whole wolf outside should be sizzling and oily, right?
I don't know what it feels like.
Cheng Xi immediately became energetic, turned off the TV and stepped out of the space.
"Xingqi, let's make the dumplings first!"
Both of them knew Shen Xingluo and Cheng's father's duty hours, so they deliberately prepared a quarter of an hour in advance for the New Year's Eve dinner.
After hearing this, Shen Xingqi immediately opened the lid of the pot, and the boiling water in the iron pot was bubbling.
Now put the dumplings in, they are just right.
One is responsible for throwing the dumplings into the pot, and the other is preparing the salad.
When the voices of Cheng Daqian and others came closer and closer, the extended dining table in the living room was already full.
"It smells so good. The girl from the creek must be making delicious food."
"I can already smell the smell of meat, hiss - it's so overbearing!"
"It smells like meat! Why is it different from last night's smell?"
"Hot air Soaring!"
Several people entered the house one after another, and their eyes widened when they saw the dining table in the living room.
"Oh my God, so many dumplings?!"
"There are also green vegetables!"
"Wait, where does that meat smell come from?"
Cheng Xi came from the kitchen with a pair of chopsticks, "It's wolf meat, it's in the kitchen ."
Although the living room is large, it cannot accommodate two roasted wolves.
There is only one door between the kitchen and the living room, and when opened, the space can be expanded a lot.
Shen Xingluo walked over first despite the snowflakes, took the chopsticks in her hand, and spoke in a low tone.
"It's hard work, ma'am."
"It's hard work for you, too. You are still patrolling outside in the cold weather."
Cheng Xi felt that she had benefited from this. It was nice not to have to go to the village entrance to get cold.
"The wolf meat is roasted. Do you want to cut it into two plates and bring it over?"
"I'll go ahead. Madam, take a rest."
Shen Xingluo walked towards the kitchen with his long legs. After a while, he used a dagger to cut two plates of barbecue and brought them over.
The three Shen family members plus Zhang Xi and others made up exactly 10 people. They gathered around the long table and looked extremely lively.
Shen Xingqi sat next to Cheng Xi, acting obediently.
The population of the Shen family is very simple, with only three members of the younger generation eating at the same table. Although there are more Zhang Xi and others this time, they belong to the uncle generation and can even avoid suspicion.
"That's the smell! Roasted wolf meat is so fragrant?"
It's incredible!
Not only Zhang Xi, but also Cheng Daqian stared at the two plates of meat with wide eyes, and the fragrance on the tip of his nose lingered for a long time.
Was this also done by his daughter?
It's really strange that I didn't realize that the little girl had such skills before.
