i have a zoo

Chapter 149
After Xiao Diao Xiaojiao left, a new group of animals came to the zoo. For them, the zoo built a new small wooden house on the left side of the square on the left side of the entrance, and a green net was also propped up on the lawn.

Some employees operated in front of the wooden house for a while, and a group of pure white pigeons flew out of the cage with flapping wings.

There were about twenty or thirty of them, and they made a "cuckoo" cry.

Seeing a piece of corn kernels scattered on the grass, they fell to the ground one after another, and they lowered their heads to peck.

The tourists watched curiously, and greeted Qi Ming: "Hey, director, are you going to raise pigeons?"

Qi Ming smiled and said, "Yes."

The reason why Jiajia Zoo keeps pigeons is to enrich the scenery and allow tourists to have more interactive projects.

However, he also plans to set up a science popularization display board about passenger pigeons here, and borrow pigeons to popularize the extinct passenger pigeons.

Cover a net, let these pigeons live in it for a while, and feed here at a fixed point every day, and the pigeons can’t find food when they fly to other places, so they know they’ll stay here forever, and they can go back to the loft in bad weather inside.

After confirming where the white pigeons were staying, Qi Ming sent a notice in the WeChat group of Jiajia Zoo:

"Everyone come to the lawn on the west side at night, and have a barbecue party today!"

After the arrival of the new employees, the zoo didn't even hold a dinner party, so today, taking advantage of the good weather, Qi Ming planned to let the employees have a dinner together.

For today's dinner, he specially asked the buyer Lao Gao to go to the strawberry plant next door to buy some big strawberries.

The diameter of one is about 3 or 4 cm. It is plump and bright red in color. It is set off by the green leaves and is more beautiful. It is as crystal as a ruby ​​and emits a tangy strawberry aroma.

Some of the vegetables for barbecue are also purchased from the original ecological vegetables from the villagers. Except for the things that are not easy to buy in the countryside, other raw materials are purchased from the countryside.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, all the employees in Jiajia Zoo went to the lawn on the west side.

Everyone began to divide their work and began to string together.

Xiao Zhang and Qi Ming were skewering leeks, and the two chatted about leeks.

As a person who has grown leeks, Xiao Zhang said with some pride:

"Director, I told you that you need to fertilize a crop of leeks after cutting, but you can't fertilize immediately. You have to wait until the wounds of the leeks have almost healed before fertilizing and watering. And you can't cut the leeks too frequently. Wait a month before cutting the next one." Stubble, this kind of crop grows better than the last crop."

After a while, Zhang Aimei came over with a helper, and the two helpers carried a small oven in a "hang-chi-hangchi" manner, and set it on the grill by the swimming pool in the yard, lighting up charcoal.

As the sky darkened, the two party lights on the lawn began to light up. .

Everyone was sitting around the oven, chatting.

Xiaoli twirled a strawberry and said with a smile: "Uncle Gao, where did you buy it? This strawberry is really delicious! I bought a box of expensive high-end strawberries one year, but the taste is not as sweet as yours. Did you buy any special kind?"

Lao Gao held up a bunch of mutton skewers and said with a smile: "Nowadays, the commercial strawberries are mainly shelf-stable, and they look good. I bought this from the organic strawberry shed in Luxian Township. These are all grown by organic farming methods."

Under the warm yellow party lights, chatting is very atmospheric.

Not to mention, from time to time, there is a smell of fireworks from barbecue.

Chef Zhang is roasting lamb.

The mutton was cut into chunks the length of a thumb, with one piece of lean meat and one piece of fat meat, and two pieces of lean meat, alternating between fat and thin.

As the charcoal fire roasted, the fat was slowly baked out, making a "sizzling" sound, emitting a tempting aroma of fat.

Chef Zhang began to add the seasoning again, brushing some oil with a brush.

Then rub the seasonings of various colors with your fingers, red chili powder, dark yellow cumin powder, white pepper and salt, sprinkled on the mutton skewers, and hold a large stick in the other hand and keep turning it quickly to let the seasoning Spread evenly over lamb.

After adding the seasoning, the aroma of the mutton skewers has changed a little more, and it smells more attractive.

Some of the oil from "Zizi" dripped into the charcoal fire, causing the charcoal fire to jump up and down, making a weak "popping" crackling sound, and the other oil rotated with the stick, wrapping the whole piece of lamb naturally.

During the continuous brushing and roasting, the mutton gradually turned into a golden color, and the luster of the skin was slightly burnt.

Everyone chatted and chatted, feeling their stomachs growling.

Looking at the scorched mutton skewers with slightly burnt skin, the beautiful oily luster makes my mouth water.

"Wow, it smells so good."

"How long will it take to eat it?"

Zhang Aimei turned the barbecue a few times, put it on a plate beside her, and said with a smile, "It's ready, please use it slowly."

Qi Ming couldn't wait to pick up a bunch and blew lightly.

A piece of meat is the size of a thumb joint, and it is just right to eat it in one bite.

Qi Ming's eyes lit up instantly.

good to eat!

The lean meat is slightly dry and has a burnt aroma. It is very chewy, but it doesn't feel like wood.

Eat a piece of lean meat, and then eat a piece of fatty meat. After the fat meat is evenly grilled, the fat seeps out and looks shiny, but it doesn't feel fat at all, instead it feels crispy.

One bite, the mouth is full of gravy.

The ratio of fat and lean mutton is very suitable, and each piece of meat has a different fresh feeling after eating.

"too delicious!"

"I'm going to eat my tongue."

"Is it my illusion, there is a fruity smell?"

Zhang Aimei will now direct the two chefs to roast the beef, and said with a smile: "It's strawberries, I added strawberries."

After tasting the delicious strawberries grown by Qi Ming, immediately add the strawberry juice to the brushed baking oil.

As a result, the rich meaty fragrance has a hint of sweetness, which is refreshing and relieves greasy.

Qi Ming praised: "It feels so good to be roasted like this! Fat meat looks greasy, but it doesn't taste greasy at all."

Xiao Zhang picked up a bottle of beer and filled the glass with a "gudong gudong".

The pale yellow beer is covered with white foam, and small bubbles continue to rise from the bottom of the cup, exuding the aroma of malt.

Have a bite of barbecue, drink a sip of beer, and enjoyment is written all over your face.

Squinting his eyes, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Wow! It's so cool."

Zhuge Qi ate it with big mouthfuls, a piece of meat was not enough for him to fit between his teeth.

When everyone finished eating the first skewer and was about to eat the second skewer, he had already started eating the third skewer.

The beef is roasted, and then the leeks are roasted!
The freshly picked leeks are soaked in water for a period of time in order to prevent them from being scorched, making them greener and more tender.

After roasting for a while, the leaves became slightly flattened and burnt, Chef Zhang began to brush with light soy sauce roasting oil and various dipping sauces, and the leeks with a layer of oil "sizzling" under the charcoal fire, emitting charming fireworks breath.

After sprinkling various seasonings such as chili powder, the chef paints it again with red oil to blend the seasonings with the leeks.

Chives that have been roasted to a dark green color and stained with a light red oil look delicious.

While brushing with red oil, Zhang Aimei said, "Leeks can't be baked for too long, as they won't work for too long."

Everyone understood "hehehehe" and laughed.

Xiaoli was a little puzzled, and asked Qi Ming in a low voice, "What effect?"

Qi Ming said solemnly: "The traditional health care in our country pays attention to 'spring and summer nourishing yang, autumn and winter nourishing yin'. Now it is almost spring, and it is warm and cold, but leeks are warm in nature. Eating some leeks can not only dispel the cold, but also sterilize and inhibit bacteria. It helps maintain the Yang Qi of the human body, and regular consumption can also benefit the spleen and stomach."

"Oh, I see."

Although Xiao Li thought it made sense, she always felt a little strange.

Picking up the roasted leek and took a bite, his eyes lit up: "This leek tastes really good!"

Everyone ate barbecue and drank beer, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

This kind of weather is the best way to eat skewers!
