Chapter 26 Barbecue

The wall that needs to be built is only two sections, which is only seven or eight meters in total. When Xing'er shouted to everyone for dinner, the pigpen was already half surrounded. Although the wooden sticks on the wall were very short and very untidy, Chen Xu kicked it hard with his feet and found that it was very strong, and it was completely impossible for a few piglets to come out.

As for the escaped big wild boar, Chen Xu felt that he could transform the pigpen and see if he could be locked in. If he succeeded, he could become a professional pig farmer in the village and would not have to worry about eating meat all year round.

After dinner, everyone who helped went home one after another.

It was only five o'clock in the afternoon. Two thousand years later, many people had not yet gotten off work, and now it was already summer and the day was gradually getting longer, and there were still two or three hours before it was completely dark.

So Chen Xu pulled Niu Dashi up and began to strengthen the pigpen. In addition to building all the walls, a row of walls were built inside the pigpen to divide the pigpen into two, leaving a small hole for the pigpen to enter and exit. A small shed was specially built for the pigpen against the courtyard wall, covering it with thatch and placing hay, so that it could shelter from the rain.

Not only will it be easier to feed after division, but it may also lock the big wild boar in.

The two of them were busy until dark, and the pig shed and the isolation wall were almost completed. The remaining finishing work would be repaired slowly in the next few days.

"So hungry!" Niu Dashi was shirtless wearing a pair of trousers covered with holes everywhere and shouting as he prepared to go home.

I ate millet porridge and wild vegetables for dinner. Although I seemed to be full, I didn't actually hold on to hunger at all, especially for this kind of physical work. Both of them were fourteen or fifteen years old. At this time, Chen Xu felt that he was almost hungry, his stomach was gulp, and his mouth was sore.

"Wait a minute, I'll get some barbecue and eat it before going back!" Chen Xu called Niu Dashi, washed his hands, and came into the room and asked a piece of lean meat weighing about two or three kilograms.

Although lean meat is delicious, it seems not very popular in this era. No one was willing to ask for the meat that was divided yesterday, and no one was willing to buy it at the market, so they could only let the family eat it themselves.

"Xing'er, go and get a big bowl for me!" Yang Xu greeted him, and Xing'er walked into the house with a bumpy look and quickly brought out a large pottery bowl with a gap.

"Brother, what else do you need?" Xing'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Xu.

"Take some salt onions, ginger, garlic, and salt, help me with some and wash them." Chen Xu ordered the meat to be placed on the stone slab and cut it into thin slices with a dagger.

"The barbecue is so small that it is not enough to stuff the teeth!" Niu Dashi said with disdain.

Chen Xu rolled his eyes unhappily and did not explain, but ordered: "Go outside and cut a bamboo into it and chop it into two-foot-long thin sticks!"

"Oh!" In order to be able to eat barbecue, Niu Dashi did not refute. He went out with a hatchet, quickly chopped back a large bamboo, and then squatted on the edge of the yard and split it into small sticks one by one.

Chen Xu had already cut the meat, and Xing'er had washed the onions, ginger and garlic, peeled them and put them in a pottery bowl.

There is no soy sauce, no cumin, no chili noodles. I wonder if it is delicious if it is roasted like this?

Chen Xu had no choice but to mash these ingredients in a bowl with a wooden pestle, and then slightly modified the cooking stone stove, making it look like a long barbecue grill.

Chen Jiang sat by the fire, and put on his clothes with the faint light of the fire and the moonlight in the sky. He saw his son, daughter and future son-in-law busy making barbecue in the yard, with a gentle smile and satisfaction on his face.

Although the husband is gone, the son has grown up and the family has slowly begun to get out of the predicament.

Fishing, cutting trees, selling meat, buying rice, repairing houses, and treating Erxi. In just a few days, life suddenly changed drastically.

"The bamboo stick is too thick, if you want to be thinner, you need to sharpen the front and scrape the burrs on it, otherwise it will prick the mouth..."

Chen Xu took a small stick handed over by Niu Dashi and pointed out the shortcomings. Niu Dashi continued to modify it without saying a word. Chen Xu put the lean meat marinated with seasoning made of green onions, ginger and garlic on a few bamboo sticks and placed it on the stove to start roasting.

Xing'er squatted beside her with a look of surprise, staring at the barbecue on the stove without blinking, and watching her brother skillfully flipping the bamboo sticks.

The barbecue is slightly curled under the roasting of charcoal fire, slowly turning brown, and the grease inside is blew on the surface.

"Puff~~"

As a drop of grease fell on the charcoal fire, a strong aroma of barbecue was instantly emitted in the yard. The meat smell was mixed with the special fragrance of wild onion, ginger and garlic. Not only Chen Xu couldn't help but move his Adam's apple, Niu Dashi threw down his hatchet and rushed over. His eyes flashed like a wild wolf in the dark night staring at the barbecue that was still flipping in Chen Xu's hands.

"Gudong~" Xing'er couldn't help but saliva all over her mouth, and whispered her mouth and shouted: "Brother, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

"Okay, it'll be fine soon!" Chen Xu saw that the heat was about six or seventy minutes old, so he pinched a little salt from the pottery bowl and sprinkled it on the barbecue and handed it to the little girl.

"Come on, you can eat it, be careful to burn it!"

The little girl's soul had been completely conquered by the aroma of barbecue. She took the bamboo stick excitedly and took a bite. She suddenly felt that a delicious food she had never eaten had completely submerged her.

"Um... delicious..." The little girl was angry and opened her mouth and showed her sharp teeth to bite her, as if she was hungry. After taking a few bites, she woke up and handed the bamboo stick to Chen Jiangshi and said, "Mom, you can eat one too, it's so delicious!"

Although Chen Jiang was an adult, he was actually unable to resist the temptation of the scent of barbecue, so he also ate one.

"Brother Xu, where are I? Give me a bunch!"

Niu Dashi was almost crazy and kept swallowing and yelling.

Chen Xu slowly continued to flip the barbecue, then sprinkled with salt, then picked up one... and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hiss~" The moment the entrance was in, a strong fragrance rushed into the brain with an extremely familiar feeling. The memories of later generations instantly spanned two thousand years. Chen Xu felt in a trance that he returned to the barbecue stall sitting by the street in the night.

But in an instant, the feeling disappeared. He stared at the bamboo stick in his hand blankly and couldn't help but sigh. It would be great if there were a few more bunches of rabbit waists and a can of beer.

"Brother Xu, please give me a taste?" Niu Dashi was already anxious and was about to stretch out a claw from his throat.

The momentary trance made Chen Xu feel too much. He sprinkled a little salt in his hand and handed Niu Dashi two of the remaining ones to Xing'er and Chen Jiangshi, and then continued to put the meat on the bamboo stick.

"Wuwu... it's delicious... so delicious!" Niu Dashi was like a wild boar, chewing and humming.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Although Xing'er was young, she instantly found that her brother was feeling a little depressed after taking a bite of barbecue.

"Oh, no!" Chen Xu shook his head quickly, then cheered up the barbecue. As the aroma of the barbecue slowly emanated again, he also slowly threw away his memories of future generations behind his mind.
