Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 997 257. Oven Fun Stories, Cheers, My Friends

The children counted carefully and found there were eighteen lunch boxes in total, with fifteen kinds of food.

The variety of meats is comparable to the menu of a barbecue restaurant.

If the old car was here, Li An would have to say thank you. Even if it was based on the relationship between the two families and even if Li Ang paid for it, it was very thoughtful.

Besides, Li An was quite skeptical whether the total amount of these things was far more than five hundred yuan.

Take these three boxes of different kinds of beef skewers for example. Referring to the prices that Ang Lee saw when buying vegetables at the morning market around New Year's Day, the average price was thirty yuan per pound.

Excluding the weight of the skewers and marinade, these three boxes of beef must weigh at least five kilograms.

This is one hundred and fifty yuan of beef raw materials.

If Lao Che bought better quality meat, it would probably cost no less than 40 yuan per pound, so 5 pounds would cost 200 yuan.

What kind of meat would Lao Che buy to make skewers for the teachers and students? The answer to the question is self-evident in Li Ang.

These are just three boxes of beef, not including the various labor costs for cutting, skewering and marinating.

Now there is a pile of clean boxes in front of everyone. This is the guarantee of the quality of the first meal for the 16-person teacher and student group.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Che Lin, and thank you Che Lin's father for preparing the barbecue ingredients for us." Li An was really touched.

Without Li An taking the lead, all the teachers and students looked at the car to express their gratitude.

This made the car so chaotic that he kept waving his hands and saying it was okay.

Xiao Che didn't expect her father to be so meticulous. She only thought that her father would prepare a lot, but she never expected to see him using printing paper to stick on the boxes and package them.

She guessed it meant nails.

"Come on, take out all the ingredients you prepared. See if there's anything else that needs to be processed. Let's get started right away."

At Ang Lee's command, everyone smiled shyly.

Seeing that the children did not move, "Xiao Bei."

Xiaobei shyly took out a pack of skewered sausages and a bag of bread slices from his backpack.

Li An saw this and said with a smile, "Oh, Che Lin's family runs a restaurant, none of us can compare to her, Teacher Xiaomi."

Chen Xuan took out two boxes of lamb skewers that she and Li An had prepared from her bag. Soon, the small wooden table was filled with a variety of ingredients.

Most of them were ready-made barbecue skewers purchased from supermarkets, and only the ingredients taken out by Mu Xin and Qiao Zhizhi did not have packaging bags.

In Qiao Zhizhi's lunch box was a bunch of skewered prawns and an ice pack to keep them fresh.

What Mu Xin took out attracted the curious gazes of several children.

"Teacher Mu, is this a boiled egg?"

"Yes, you have never eaten baked eggs."

The kids shook their heads, and Mu Xin chuckled: "I'll bake it for you later, it's so delicious!"

Li An found the seasoning box that Lao Che mentioned, and then waved his hand, "Begin!"

Everyone started to move, and the private room instantly turned into a busy kitchen.

But problems soon arose.

Although the stove is large, it is only big enough for three people to grill at the same time.

The problem is that, including adults and children, there are no less than eight people gathered around the oven at this moment.

The greatest pleasure of a barbecue buffet is not actually eating.

Several children beside the oven looked at Li Ang eagerly, as if hoping to get this precious seat.

"Those who can cook should step out first."

With so many mouths to feed, it would take forever for one person to keep feeding them, so Ang Lee had to select some reliable helpers.

Xiao Liu was the first to respond: "Teacher, I can make cold tomato salad."

Li An: "Very good, go help Teacher Chen clean up the table first, good boy."

Xiao Liu reluctantly left the oven, followed by Xiao Bei and Qiao Zhizhi.

Li An: "Wang Xiaohu, go help Liu Fengrui. What are you looking at? Hurry up."

"Hmph!" Brother Xiaohu left the stage.

Li An looked at the car, "Can you do this?"

Xiaoche: "Teacher, I have baked it before."

Li An: "Old Tang?"

Lao Tang: “Almost.”

Li An: "Then the three of us will grill first, and the others can try to find something to do first. Those who want to play will have plenty of opportunities later."

Senior Sister Xiao Ji: "Teacher, Xiao Wu and I can help."

Ang Lee: "Okay."

Let’s get started right away. Let’s start with a large batch of beef, mutton and pork belly.

Ang Lee has grilled this stuff seriously before and knows how to do it, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.

Li An used the fire tongs to mash the charcoal blocks and divided the work among them. He roasted the beef, Lao Tang roasted the pork belly, and Xiaoche roasted the lamb skewers.

The three of them each took a handful of skewers of meat and placed them on the iron net of their respective stoves. Teacher Li Ang and his student Xiaoche looked very calm and turned the skewers very rarely, while Lao Tang seemed a little anxious and kept turning them back and forth, as if he was afraid that they would be burnt.

Ang Lee could tell at a glance that Lao Tang lacked experience, but out of trust in Lao Tang, he did not blame him, but simply told Lao Tang not to turn the tables so frequently.

Lao Tang really didn't have much experience, so he adjusted his techniques while watching Li Ang and Xiao Che's techniques.

Soon Lao Tang felt that he was on to something.

Seeing the skewers begin to change color, Lao Tang couldn't wait to sprinkle the seasoning on them, and then shook the skewers vigorously.

"Don't!"

Li An said that he was a step too slow, and a series of flames appeared from the stove of the old soup, followed by a faint smell of burnt seasoning, which attracted several children to run over excitedly to watch the fun.

"Stay away, and don't shout."

While sending the child away, Li An looked at Lao Tang and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay."

It was obvious that Li Ang's comfort had no effect. Lao Tang raised the skewers in his hand in panic, not knowing what remedial measures he should take.

"I'll come, I'll come."

At this time, Mu Xin ran over, took the skewers from Lao Tang's hand, shook off the black seasoning particles hanging on the meat, and waited until the flames in the stove went down before putting the skewers back on the iron net.

As Mu Xin grilled the fish, he corrected Lao Tang, "You can't shake the oil over an open flame, it will catch fire, and you sprinkled the seasoning too early, so even if it doesn't catch fire, the seasoning will be burnt first!"

“Yes, yes.” Lao Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was almost shocked just now. “Thank you for your advice. I used to bake on the electric oven.”

Mu Xin: "That's totally different. Here, go slowly. When the fat starts to sizzle and ooze oil, you can sprinkle the seasoning on it. Go slowly."

Wang Xiaohu: “I see!”

After listening to this, several children felt that they had learned something.

Lao Tang: "No, no, Brother Mu, come here. You told me you are a professional, why would I show off?"

Mu Xin: "I'm not a professional. The guy next door is a professional. It's obvious that An Ge has practiced this technique."

"That's exaggerated." Li An flipped his hand and a scent of meat rushed to the children.

Xiao Liu swallowed his saliva and quickly ran to get a plate: "Teacher, hurry up!"

Xiaoche also found that the teacher's movements were very skillful, "Teacher, you must have grilled many skewers before."

At this stage, the small car represents a kind of authority, because that is what people do at home.

As soon as Xiaoche finished speaking, everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around to see the pianist's "professional" barbecue skills.

"What are you doing?" Li An said with a helpless smile, "I'm not a professional at all. I just worked in a barbecue restaurant for two months before."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

The teacher actually worked in a barbecue restaurant!

Ang Lee has a lot of life!
"How come I don't know?" Teacher Xiaomi's question made everyone laugh.

"Well, that was many years ago."

While other people go traveling or have fun after the college entrance exam, our teacher Li An used the summer vacation before university started to save up 6,000 yuan for himself.

"I wanted to buy a new phone, but my broken phone got fixed after I replaced the battery."

Although the story was very simple, the adults still felt sad when they heard it.

He has been frugal since childhood and is able to endure hardships. Such a person deserves to succeed.

Although everyone knows that being frugal and hardworking is not enough to succeed in life, real life is already hard enough, so it is not a sin to just imagine it. "Did you hear that? You have to learn from Teacher Li's hardworking character."

Li An interrupted quickly: "No, no, I just wanted to buy myself a new phone. It was definitely not about quality. To be honest, I was just pursuing pleasure."

"To put it simply, what is suffering? It means doing something you don't want to do for a long time, and giving up many things you want to do for it."

"Do you think Che Lin has a hard life? She sits in front of the piano for several hours every day, sometimes for a whole day. How much hardship must she have endured? Do you think so?"

"Yes!" Wang Xiaohu raised his hand.

Li An picked up a pinch of seasoning and sprinkled it casually, "Look, Wang Xiaohu is exposed. What is exposed? He doesn't like practicing the piano."

Wang Xiaohu: “I didn’t!”

Li An ignored him and turned the string in his hand. The aroma of oil smoke instantly filled half of the room: "At least he doesn't like to sit in front of the piano for a whole day to practice. Why is that, Che Lin, tell everyone if you find it hard to sit in front of the piano for a whole day?"

The small car also began to spread the ingredients: "Not bitter."

"Don't disbelieve me, she just doesn't feel it's hard. What is hardship for her? Not letting her practice the piano, having the piano but no time to practice, that's hardship for her."

For a moment, the children felt as if they had suddenly realized something, and when they combined it with the teacher's explanation of hardship, everyone seemed to understand what hardship meant.

"plate!"

Li An raised his hand, and Liu Fengrui and Senior Sister Xiao Ji held out the trays in their hands at the same time.

"Ji Yang, Xiao Wu, you two, just leave it alone. If you want to eat something, bring your plates and line up to get it. You two should eat quickly too."

"Liu Fengrui, take as much as you want."

Three seconds later.

"Delicious!!!"

Xiao Liu's cry from the soul called all the people outside the house back.

At this moment, Xiaoche also finished the test of this wave.

"Linlin, I want to eat yours first!"

Five seconds later, Xiaobei was no longer able to speak.

"I'll have some!"

"Give me two skewers of pork belly."

“It’s delicious. So delicious!”

“It tastes much better than the barbecue outside!”

"Teacher, why don't you open a No. 4 Piano BBQ restaurant!"

Just like that, the topic of hardship comes to an end and it’s time to eat!
-
After taking three rounds of exams, Li An finally got a skewer of lamb.

He could smell the aroma of the barbecue made by Lao Che, and when he tasted it, it was indeed as good as any other barbecue restaurant.

"Linlin, why don't you have a barbecue stall at home?"

“Do it this summer!”

"it is good!"

Li Anxin said that with this old car, this material, and a truly professional master, the business would definitely be booming! "

"Brother An, come quickly! You're only one bottle short!"

Everyone at the dinner table urged.

"Just kidding, I thought it was a box."

Li An was in a good mood today. He picked up a bottle of beer and opened the lid with his teeth. "I'll give you guys a whole life today."

As he said this, he held the bottle upright, put it in his mouth and started spinning it.

Amid the children's screams, our teacher Li just showed off a bottle.

"I wipe!"

"Brilliant!"

"handsome!"

"another one!"

"Okay, I'll show you one bottle and you can drink one, do you dare?"

"Boss, you treated me as a fart."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Come on, cheers!"

"cheers!"

"Boss, please say a few words."

"What are you talking about? Just eat and drink well. Everything else is nonsense."

"Hahahaha! Cheers!"

"Hey, you guys be careful. Ji Yang, you two keep an eye on them."

"Don't worry, teacher!"

The adults started, and the children finally started too.

Under the care of senior sister Xiao Ji and sister Xiao Wu, the three members of Group B, Xiao Bei, Wang Xiao Hu and Qiao Zhi Zhi, went up to the grill first.

Xiaobei toasted bread for everyone, Wang Xiaohu set his eyes on the chicken wings, and Qiao Zhizhi roasted garlic meat.

"Linlin, please teach us!"

"You guys bake so well, you don't need any teaching."

Although he said he would not teach anyone, Xiaoche's eyes were still fixed on the skewers in everyone's hands.

"Wang Xiaohu, slow down and don't shake the oil."

"oh oh."

Seeing that there was still room in the oven, Xiaoche invited Liu Fengrui and Marco to come and try it.

Xiao Liu wants to grill solid eggs, and Xiao Ma wants to try the black jelly beef tenderloin.

The two of them picked out the skewers they wanted to grill and came to the grill, taking the opportunity to join the barbecue chef.

The charcoal fire reflected the red faces of the children, and their different expressions all revealed the same seriousness.

It looks simple, but it is actually not easy to bake.

During the entire process, you need to observe the color changes of the ingredients under high temperature, pay attention to oil control, and pay attention to the actual sprinkling of ingredients. Accidents can occur if you are not careful.

Looking at the cautious looks of the children, Senior Sister Xiao Ji took a photo to record it. Compared to the summer camp, the children in the camera seemed to have grown up a little.

That’s great, Ji Yang looked at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu smiled and gave a thumbs up.

After a while, the five children brought their "works" to the dining table one after another.

Under the children's expectant gaze, the teachers quickly divided the skewers among the children.

"Okay, you guys."

"delicious."

"It's much more delicious than what your teacher bakes."

Seeing the teachers praising the food they had baked themselves, the children all had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Come on kids, let's not grill yet. Let's sit down and eat together for a while and then you can grill. I'll leave the rest of the grilling tasks to you, okay?"

"it is good!!"

“This drink wishes you a successful completion of the first semester of the seventh grade. I hope you will achieve even better results in the second semester. Do you have the confidence?!”

"have!!!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!!!"

"I have a task for you. At night, each of you will summarize what you have gained this semester and set a goal for the next semester."

"Ange, that's enough. This is not the time when you were a kid and went to school."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Okay, okay, since I've said too much, let's have another drink, my big and small friends!"

"cheers!!!"

In the blink of an eye, the sun sets quietly, and today's sunset is particularly enchanting.
