Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

If these old hens cannot be sold today, they will be even harder to sell tomorrow.

Because the chicken had been outside in the sun all day, Jia Zhang felt that it had some flavor.

"Mom, why did you come back just now? Huairu said you went out this morning."

As soon as Jia Zhang returned home, Jia Dongxu couldn't wait to come over.

He was also counting on Jia Zhang to sell the old hen and buy some meat.

The Chen family's stewed mutton in the backyard smelled so delicious that Jia Dongxu was drooling.

"Why didn't you sell any?"

Jia Zhang angrily threw the old hen onto the table and cursed, "You are all blind people. You would rather go to the vegetable market to buy it than buy it from me."

Jia Dongxu frowned when he heard this.

These old hens cost more than ten dollars. If I can’t sell any of them, I’ll be at a big loss.

Moreover, if it is kept for too long, the old hen will definitely have a smell, and then no one will buy it.

"Mom, why don't we stew it? It smells delicious." Jia Dongxu licked his lips and said.

If you can’t eat meat, you can eat chicken!

"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat!" Jia Zhang glared at Jia Dongxu unhappily, then lowered her head and smelled it.

It does smell a bit strange.

"Oh, so much money wasted."

Jia Zhang thought for a moment, then took out two hens and threw them to Jia Dongxu: "Stew these two, and I'll sell the remaining two tomorrow morning. If we can't sell them, we'll eat them all."

"Hey, okay, okay."

Jia Dongxu was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly called Qin Huairu to help. He heated up the oil in a pan and stewed the two old hens.

These are two chickens. Who in the courtyard can afford this?

What he made today was stewed chicken with potatoes. After it was cooked, Jia Dongxu went out with a bowl of chicken to show off.

But, the New Year is coming soon, who hasn’t bought New Year’s goods?

After strolling around, Jia Dongxu didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

"Chen Jun, my family is stewing chicken again today."

There was no one to show off to in the backyard, so Jia Dongxu could only show off to Chen Jun who was squatting at the door and tinkering with the iron rack.

Chen Jun glanced at him and felt more and more that Jia Dongxu was mentally ill.

To be more specific, the cerebellum is underdeveloped and the cerebrum is completely underdeveloped.

Day after day, he comes out to show off just by eating some chicken. The more he lacks something, the more he wants to show off.

Chen Jun tied the barbecue grill in his hand tightly with wire, threw the charcoal in and ignited it, then shouted into the house.

"Lin Yao, bring the skewered mutton over here."

Lin Yao's voice was heard from inside the room, and soon she ran out with a plate of mutton skewers.

The mutton has been marinated for more than half an hour, and it's just right for grilling.

"Hahahahaha~"

Jia Dongxu came over to watch the fun while chewing on a chicken nugget.

I looked at it for a long time but still didn't understand how to eat it.

"Um, Chen Jun, what are you doing?"

Chen Jun said without even looking up: "Grilled skewers."

"Grilled skewers? Tsk tsk, you really don't know how to live. This meat needs to be stewed with other vegetables. For example, my chicken is best stewed with potatoes." Jia Dongxu felt that Chen Jun was a bit like a prodigal son.

But Chen Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He sprinkled some seasoning into the pot and started grilling it on the rack.

As soon as the lamb skewers were heated, a rich aroma wafted out.

It's not just the smell of meat, there's also a fragrance that I've never smelled before.

Chen Jun took a small brush and brushed some oil on the lamb skewers, and the lamb skewers began to make a sizzling sound.

The skewers are made with lamb leg meat, which has more lean meat and less fat.

If you want to grill the food to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you need to have a certain control over the heat.

Lin Yao smelled the fragrance and went into the house to bring a stool. The brother and sister sat at the door, waiting for the skewers to be ready.

It must be said that the smell of the skewers was indeed overpowering, and it spread throughout the yard in no time.

Some residents who had not yet eaten smelled the strange fragrance and couldn't help but run out to check what was going on.

When they saw Chen Jun grilling skewers at the door, they couldn't help but swallow.

It has to be the Chen family.

Other restaurants have to beat the eggs into the soup, but he makes pure meat skewers and eats the meat so casually without feeling sorry at all.

Even stewing the meat is fine, after all, roasted meat will shrink.

The adults in the yard were better, they swallowed quietly from a distance.

But those little kids didn't have so many concerns. They just squatted in front of the Chen family's door and stared at the skewers of meat on the grill.

So many people came?

Lin Yao is a little shy, and being watched by so many people, she felt a little shy.

Chen Jun, however, acted as if he didn't see it and was busy flipping the skewers.

Just watch it, it’s going to have to have some meat anyway.

If grilling in the house wouldn't cause poisoning, Chen Jun wouldn't have chosen to do it at the door.

Continue to brush some of the prepared sauce on the lamb skewers, and then pinch a small handful of cumin and sprinkle it on it.

Hey!

With the addition of cumin, the meat flavor becomes more unique and attractive.

There aren’t many types of seasonings these days, and the flavors aren’t that rich.

Today's barbecue can be considered as an opportunity to broaden the horizons for the people in the hospital.

Jia Dongxu, who was closest to the table, stared at the skewers on the rack, then looked down at the chicken in his bowl.

Suddenly I felt that the chicken was not so fragrant.

How about we learn how to barbecue?

Anyway, there are two old hens at home, so the Jia family has the conditions.

Seeing that the skewers were almost done, Jia Dongxu swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "Well, grill your skewers for me to try. If they are delicious, I will grill meat at my house tomorrow and let you have a taste, too."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard became excited.

If Chen Jun shared the skewers with Jia Dongxu, they would also shamelessly ask for some.

The skewers are so delicious, much better than the stew at home.

No wonder the kid from the Chen family dared to set up a stall, he must be quite capable.

But why didn’t Sha Zhu, who was also in Fengdeng Tower, show such powerful performance?

Hey, thinking of Sha Zhu, the people in the hospital realized that Sha Zhu has been very low-key recently. It seems that they don’t see him every day and he doesn’t participate much in the affairs of the hospital.

Chen Jun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jia Dongxu, then asked with a smile, "Do you have meat at home? Just say we'll have a barbecue tomorrow!"

According to the Jia family's previous New Year's custom, they would buy meat on New Year's Eve.

It’s not that meat is cheaper on New Year’s Eve, but that Jia Zhang likes to go to Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu’s house to take advantage of them. Whenever someone buys meat, she will ask for some.

The reason was that they hadn't bought meat yet, so they wanted to borrow some first.

Everyone in the courtyard knew the Jia family's character. They always borrowed but never returned.

Jia Dongxu was immediately displeased when he heard this, and muttered, "What are you talking about? We can stew chicken every day at home."

"So, do you have meat at home?" Chen Jun continued to ask.

"Um... isn't chicken meat? It can be roasted just the same!"

Chen Jun was immediately amused when he heard this: "Your chickens were all killed with poison. I'm afraid I'll have diarrhea if I eat them."
