Little wealth

Two days later, it was the seventh day of July.

On this day, the work on the new house next door stopped, and no one came to work, so they were free to prepare the things they were going to sell today.

Every July [-]th is the Qiqiao Festival. On this day, there are lanterns in the town, and men and women in the villages also like to visit the lanterns in the town, so the business on this day will be better than usual.Considering that there will be more people at night, they don't plan to go to the town too early to set up a stall, but plan to wait until the afternoon to do business at night.

Recently, he has been busy with building a house at home, and Zhao He has no time to prepare the lanterns for sale today.It happened to be a little free today, so early in the morning he moved a stool and sat at the door of the wooden house to make a lantern. With bamboo strips in his hand, he made bamboo cages of various shapes and pasted paper on the outside of the bamboo cages. The lantern is just ready.

Making lanterns is not a labor-intensive job, and he tied a lot in one morning.

Pick up the brush, dip it in ink, draw a pair of eyes on the outside of the lantern, and a vivid rabbit lantern is ready.Zhao He handed the little rabbit lantern to his son who was sitting in front of him and looked at him, and took his son's little hand to grab the handle on it, "Hold it here. It's for you, take it and play."

"Hee hee~" Xiao Wa'er took over his little rabbit lantern, and happily ran around the yard with the little rabbit lantern.

Ah Huang squatted on the ground, his eyes following the little master who was running around.

Hearing their son's laughter, Josh poked his head out of the window and took a look outside, and saw a small lantern in their son's hand, needless to say, it was given by the child's father.

He raised his head to look at the man, as if he felt his gaze, the man also looked up to him, the two exchanged a look, he smiled, lowered his head and continued to work on the matter in hand.

The man stared at Fu Lang who was busy with his head down, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he continued to tie the bamboo cage. He was going to make a very beautiful lantern for Fu Lang.

Of course, Josh didn't know that he still had presents to receive in the evening.

Right now, he is putting the cooled bean paste into jars, putting the jars into the inner tank of a wooden barrel, and closing the lid. When he sells them in the town in the afternoon, the bean paste inside can be turned into smoothies.But today, in addition to smoothies, he also plans to make something different and attractive.

Zhao Hu came in from the outside, holding a sharpened bamboo stick in his hand, "Brother, where do you put this?"

"Give it to me, it's just a skewer. Let's try grilling some meat and vegetables at noon." After moving the wooden barrel to the bottom and putting it away, Josh took the bamboo stick, and just as the vegetables and meat had been cut, he used Bamboo skewers string the vegetables one by one.

Zhao Amu was also helping, and asked a little puzzled: "How do we make these vegetables on a skewer?"

"Let's skewer this first, and put it on the stove to eat." Originally, Josh wanted to sell fried skewers, but he thought that fried skewers would require too much oil, so he thought of grilled skewers later, which don't need Too much oil, you need a stove and some charcoal, as well as various seasonings.

He has already prepared all the seasonings in advance. He ground all kinds of seasonings and put them in small bamboo tubes, so that he can sprinkle them directly on top when roasting.

However, they haven't eaten skewers at home, so they will bake them in advance in a while, and teach everyone how to make this skewers, so as not to be in a hurry when it comes to selling.

Everything can be grilled on skewers, and the ingredients for skewers are very rich. There are many vegetables in their yard. They pick a basket of vegetables and come back, wash and cut them, and then use sticks to skewer them in the same way.

In addition to vegetarian dishes, of course there are also meat dishes.

Early in the morning, they went to the town to buy the pork belly. The pork belly was sliced ​​and skewered on a skewer. A thin slice, and five slices of meat on a bamboo stick would be full.There are also prawns and fish. The prawns are not very big. Three prawns are on a skewer, and the fish is bigger. One fish is cut into two sides, and two bamboo sticks are put on one side. It can be sold for half.

"Xiaohu, go and call Brother Chen and the others over." Before preparing for the barbecue, Josh called his uncle to call another family over.

"Okay, I'll go now." Zhao Hu put down the things in his hands, and immediately went out to call for someone.

**

Before noon, the smell of barbecue came from their yard.

The charcoal fire in the stove was burning relatively vigorously, and as soon as the pork belly was put on it, it quickly made a sound of sizzling oil.After being heated, the thin meat rolled up and turned burnt yellow. The oil on it was rolling, and the excess oil dripped down and onto the charcoal, causing the fire of the charcoal to jump up.

Josh took the barbecue away, sprayed the fire with water, and continued to put the pork belly down to roast.

When it's almost done, brush a layer of special sauce on it, sprinkle with various seasonings and spices, and the whole yard is filled with the smell of barbecue.

"Zi Liu~" Xiaowa'er looked at the barbecue on the stove with her eyes, and saliva dripped down the corner of her mouth.

"Nian Nian, are you dumbfounded? Haha, hurry up and wipe your own drool." Josh was grilling meat, seeing their son and dog squatting there drooling, couldn't help it I just laughed, does their son want to be so cute?Hahaha……

"Oh, this child must be dumbfounded."

Zhao Amu came out of the kitchen and saw her little grandson squatting there, so she dragged her grandson to sit on the small stool, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth for the grandson, with a smile in her eyes, "My dear grandson!" Sit here and wait, after a while your Eun has roasted the meat and I will give it to you."

"Didn't Xiaohu go to call for someone? The meat is almost cooked, and we haven't come back yet?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door in the courtyard being pushed open.

"Then, isn't this back?"

Josh just picked up the roasted pork belly, and when he saw people coming back, he shouted at the people who came in: "It just so happens that you are here, come and eat the barbecue."

"Yes~" There was a small one hanging on his lap, pulling his clothes and asking him what he wanted to eat.

"I know, I know, go to your aunt's place, let me feed you, don't burn it." Their sons were about to tear off their pants, but luckily the child came over soon He breathed a sigh of relief when the brat was taken away.

"Wow, it smells so good! We smelled it when we were outside just now." Zhao Hu went to his father-in-law's house to call someone, and he will come back with his father-in-law and his fiance. Good barbecue, can't help but flood the saliva.

Chen Tuhu came in smelling the fragrance, laughed and said, "It seems that we came at the right time."

As soon as Chen Yan entered the door, he noticed the meat being roasted in Josh's hand, and couldn't help swallowing, the smell was really delicious.

"Haha, yes, it just happened to be cooked, and I said we'll start eating if you don't come over, and you just arrived." Josh motioned for people to come over and get the barbecue to eat. It was about to burn, "Quick, come here and eat."

"For us?"

"Yes, it's for you, hurry up and continue."

"Hey hey hey!" Zhao Hu smiled and took a handful of barbecue, gave two to his father-in-law and his fiancé, and then went to give one to his elder brother, E-Mu, and nephew, and finally he took one for himself. Gen took a bite and was so moved that he wanted to cry, "It's so delicious!" He never knew that pork belly could be eaten like this, it was so delicious, it was so delicious that he wanted to cry~

"Well, yes, it's delicious. This meat can still be eaten roasted like this, it's really delicious." Butcher Chen found a stool and sat down, just short of a good wine at this time.But thinking that they still have work to do in the afternoon, if he gets drunk, he won't be able to work, so after thinking about it, it's not easy for him to ask for alcohol.

"There's mung bean soup in the pot, Xiaohu, go and bring out the mung bean soup. You guys will finish drinking the mung bean soup in a while. It's easy to get angry if you eat too much." Josh grilled the fish over there, and also tasted the grilled meat. Can.

When the lantern was almost done, Zhao He put down his work and came over to help Fu Lang barbecue, "I'll come, you rest."

"Okay, then you can come." Josh took a step back to the side, giving up his seat to Carpenter Zhao.But he didn't walk away, he still stood here watching the man grilling fish, and made a point every now and then.

In fact, the skewers are very simple, just keep turning them over to prevent the meat from being burnt, and the seasoning is also the key.He found all the seasonings he could find, as for the ones he couldn't find, it depends on whether he can find them in the future.

But even with limited seasoning, the roasted meat is full of flavor.

A handful of roasted pork belly was not enough for a group of them, and everyone quickly finished eating the roasted pork belly in their hands.

Grilled shrimp is faster, and it will be cooked after a little while on the fire.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Josh handed everyone a handful of grilled shrimps and mushrooms and put them on the plate. He took a bunch of grilled shrimps and ate them himself, and shouted to the others: "Take what you want. , I will put it here. You can choose what else you want to eat, and if you choose, you can put it on the stove here and bake it first."

The shell of the grilled shrimp is crispy. The grilled shrimp does not have too much seasoning, but a little salt is added, which is a bit salty.But that's it, the taste of this grilled shrimp is also very delicious, the meat is fresh and tender, with a little burnt smell of charcoal grilling, after eating one, he went to get the second one.

"This shrimp is delicious, you should try it too."

"Yeah, it's delicious, it's delicious!"

There is no need for their brother to remind, Zhao Hu has already tasted all the roasted meat and vegetables, but he still likes to eat roasted pork belly, which is fat and not too greasy. This taste is really good up!Before wiping his mouth after eating, he went to find his brother to barbecue again, "Brother, I still want to eat pork belly."

"Bring it." Zhao He looked up, took a handful of pork belly, and continued to roast it on the stove.

After someone helped to grill the skewers, Josh was free to take care of his son.
