Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Chapter 79: Barbecue

Nearly five months have passed since Yu Jiang came to this era in August, and she has been in the institute for more than three months.

The project plan is going very smoothly. Several people in Yujiang's team have now been trained into talents who can act independently, and they are each responsible for their own part of the task.

Under the auspices of several people, the project was advanced in all aspects at the same time, and it was more than a little faster than the original plan.

It was almost New Year's Day, the last day of 1973. Yu Jiang planned to have a meal with the people in the laboratory at noon and then return to the village in the afternoon.

For this reason, Yu Jiang specially took out the recipes accumulated in the bracelet space and found a way to eat called barbecue.

Several people in the laboratory originally planned to go directly to a state-owned restaurant for a meal, but after seeing the menu that Yu Jiang brought out, they suddenly gave up the idea of ​​going to a state-owned restaurant.

Originally, they ate and drank in the cafeteria all day long, so they did not respect state-owned restaurants as highly as others.

Moreover, the barbecue that Yu Jiang brought out not only looked delicious, but also allowed them to participate by themselves. Wouldn't it be better to do it yourself than waiting for the food to be served in a state-owned restaurant? !

After they agreed, Yu Jiang specially left them all in the laboratory to work hard the day before, while he went to the city under the pretense of seeing if there was anything good, leaving everyone behind to get the ingredients back.

As a team leader who had finished all his work, no one said anything when Yu Jiang had to skip a day's work and go to the city.

Of course, Yu Jiang doesn't have to actually take the Laoshizi bus to the city. She can get these things in her time and space exchange machine.

She had already exchanged the items in the time and space exchange machine last night, and taking leave today was just an excuse to take out all the items in the city.

If you want to eat barbecue, you must have all kinds of meat, pork, chicken, beef, mutton. Yujiang has exchanged a bunch of these according to the menu. In addition, Yujiang also exchanged some vegetables, planning to Bake them together to relieve greasiness.

According to the 3 yuan each of them gave themselves, plus their own share, plus He Zhixing and He Zhile and Zhang Tong who were coming from Fenghe Village tomorrow, there were 11 people in total, and 33 yuan was enough. Let them eat until they are full tomorrow.

Yu Jiang calculated the money and took out the corresponding amount of things for them.

Good guy! There were dozens of kilograms of meat and vegetables in total, which was enough for them even for another dinner.

Yu Jiang took out another batch of things and packed them in another bag, which was to be sent to Bai Lao and the others.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yu Jiang, who went to the city, walked around outside and then secretly hid in the dormitory. She lay on the bed and continued to read the medical book that Mr. Bai gave her leisurely.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Yu Jiang quietly left the dormitory and went straight to Bai's hometown.

"Teacher, I went to the city today and bought things to prepare for the festival tomorrow, so I brought them here for you."

Grandma Bai didn't want to accept it, but Lao Bai accepted it directly.

First of all, during this period, my disciple had to carry things every three days, and even if he was beaten to death, he would not be charged for it. Now he is really used to it.

Secondly, he had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether his son would come back from the Northeast or not, his property would definitely have Yu Jiang's share.

So Bai Lao didn't make those useless excuses.

After delivering the Bai family's things, Yu Jiang returned to the research room.

When Yu Jiang took out the pieces of meat, several people were shocked. They, Sister Yu, had brought so many things back from a trip to the city!

This...I'm afraid it's more than thirty!

In this regard, Yu Jiang only explained that some internal organs and the like were not paid for at all. The city's supply and marketing cooperative saw that she bought a lot and simply gave them to her directly.

Seeing Yu Jiang's vow, everyone reluctantly believed her statement.

It's winter and leaving these out overnight won't be a problem. Besides, the west factory area is so safe, so a few people simply left their things in the laboratory and waited for a big fight tomorrow.

The next day, when several people brought their things to a creek in the back mountain of Xichang District, He Zhile and Zhang Tong were already waiting for them there.

Not many people will pass by here, so it is an excellent barbecue venue.

Wei Weiguo and Hu Xin were very experienced people who went to the stream to pick up stones and quickly set up a temporary stove. After setting up the stove, they went to pick up firewood for the fire.

Yu Jiang and others organized and prepared the ingredients.

First, you need to chop a bamboo and split it into sticks.

This task was completed by Song Ermao independently. There was a bamboo forest near his home. His grandfather used to cut bamboos to make various things. Over time, he was able to handle these big things.

Although the knife in his hand is not very convenient, it is not impossible to use.

The remaining people cut the ingredients into pieces together, then marinate the ones that need to be marinated, and skewer the ones that can be directly skewered and put them aside.

Here, Yu Jiang saw that Hu Xin and the others had already set up the stove. He went to get some iron rods and some wire from the pile of things he had just brought, and tied a simple shelf to the set up stove.

Hu Xin didn't see the bamboo sticks made by Song Ermao on the other side for skewering meat, so he couldn't understand Yu Jiang's operation. "Sister Yu, why did you put two parallel iron bars on the stove? Don't block it." Are you here?"

Yu Jiang also explained thoughtfully: "This will be of great use. When the time comes to put the meat skewers on top, won't we be able to free our hands?"

Hu Xin nodded with sudden realization.

It wasn't until the barbecue was sizzling on the grill and emitting an alluring aroma that they began to understand the charm of barbecue and the freedom of hands that Yu Jiang just mentioned.

Moreover, each of the several kinds of meat that Yujiang brought back has its own flavor when grilled, and with the addition of seasonings, it can be said to be twice as delicious!

At this time, no one paid attention to how much they had eaten. Unconsciously, skewers of barbecued meat and roasted vegetables were put into their mouths.

Yu Jiang was also very satisfied with today's meal. Barbecue was considered very simple in her menu. But when she made it by herself in the past, either the seasoning was wrong or the heat control was wrong. In short, one of the ten skewers was able to be eaten because of Yu Jiang's extraordinary performance that day.

Fortunately, there was a group of people helping her bear the burden today, so it wasn't to the point where Yu Jiang needed to take action himself.

From cutting the meat to seasoning, and then putting it on the fire to roast, Yu Jiang was very self-aware and just told them how much they needed according to the instructions in the book. She didn't do it herself.

Yu Jiang herself found it strange. She was obviously very good at making poisons and pharmaceuticals, which required more precise control of dosage, so why couldn't she use it in cooking?

Could it be that she really has nothing to do with cooking?
