My village can't be like this

Chapter 170 Barbecue with Milk Tea

In the afternoon, after the mutton was cut and marinated, Su Ying and the others were given the job of threading the skewers.

Zhang An started cleaning the jelly grass at two o'clock in the afternoon until now, and it was almost five o'clock.

It took about two hours to make it, mainly because it took more time to cook.

Zhang An came out to start a fire for the grill, but his father had already gone one step ahead and started the fire in the grill.

Pa is putting coals in there now, and waiting until the coals are ignited by the kindling.

It can't be baked yet, we have to wait until the fire is more vigorous.

"Sister-in-law, I brought rice crackers for you to eat."

Zhang Yan, a little girl, ran in with a bag bouncing around, followed by Zhang Tie and Zhang Xing.

Zhang An cooks barbecue at home, so he will definitely call him his younger brother and sister.

So Zhang An specially went to the house at noon to call their younger brothers and sisters.

A few uncles and aunts didn't come, saying that it was good to let the young people have a good time, and the adults would not join in the fun.

When she first came here yesterday, Yanzi called Su Ying's sister-in-law, and Su Ying was a little shy.

But Yanzi just doesn't call her elder sister, and keeps calling her sister-in-law.

After Yanzi yelled a few more times, Su Ying got used to it, and it was natural to respond now.

Seeing the little girl coming, she pulled her into her arms to talk.

The bag in the little girl's hand contained rice crackers fried with rice.

It was still hot to the touch, probably not long after it was fried.

"Swallow, the old man who fried rice crackers is here." Zhang An grabbed some and put them in his mouth.

"Yeah, it's already noon, and it's still in the valley. My mother fried a big bag for us just now."

As the little girl spoke, she made a big circle with both hands.

These are the uniform actions of children, every time they say big or a lot.

They will open their hands and make a big circle to describe it.

There is an old man in Hongyan Town who specially pulls a carriage to various villages to fry popcorn.

Besides him, there was another man selling rice cracker candies and chicken cakes, also an old man in his fifties.

Among so many businessmen who traveled from village to village, the two of them were the ones that Xiaowa liked the most.

Because they have come to the village, it means that they can pester adults to buy rice crackers, chicken cakes and fried rice crackers as snacks.

Including Zhang An also liked it when he was young. In his memory, these two people have been shopping since he was a child.

At first, it was carried on a shoulder pole, but later it was replaced by a two-eight pole.

"Mom, do we want to fry some too?"

Zhang An hadn't eaten popcorn for a long time. He just ate some brought by Swallows and felt a little nostalgic.

"Hey, then I'll go fry some and come back. This old man hasn't come to our village for a long time."

Wang Fang went home with a small bag of rice and a small bag of corn.

Each dish weighs less than a catty, because there are few people in the family, so they can't finish cooking too much.

This rice cracker is different from the popcorn of later generations.

It is long and long when fried, and has the same length as a finger, and may be slightly thicker.

The cracked rice flower is white, while the cracked corn is yellow.

Add a few saccharine in it, and the fried rice crackers taste very sweet.

Therefore, many families with children will fry a large bag, these are the usual snacks for dolls.

These rice crackers come in an airtight bag so the kids can eat them for ages.

"Brother, I want to eat ham sausage."

The charcoal fire on the grill has been ignited, and the skewers can now be started.

Yanzi looked at Zhang An holding a bunch of meat skewers, and told Zhang An that he wanted to eat grilled ham sausage.

Not only her, other dolls in the village are like this.

Baked ham sausage is always the most delicious thing in their hearts.

In the first few days at the beginning of the year, the person who grilled skewers in the drying yard did not sell much, and he could sell one or two boxes of ham sausage every day.

"Okay, my brother will bake it for you."

It's no wonder that children like to eat it. Even Zhang An likes the ham sausage at this time.

"Zhang Xing, go to the cupboard and take out that box of ham, I'll bake it for you later."

"I know where it is, I'll go and I'll go."

Without Zhang Xing's promise, Zhang Tie, a puppet child, had already entered the house and came out carrying half a box of ham sausages.

As for skewers, Zhang An has grilled many times before, and now he is a mature barbecue master.

Place the marinated skewers on the grill, tossing them from time to time.

Brush with oil, brush with sauce, and finally sprinkle some salt and pepper and cumin powder.

The fragrant mutton skewers are freshly baked, and the smell can be smelled on the road outside.

"Yoko, come in and eat together."

Take the handful of mutton skewers that have been roasted in your hand and give them to Su Ying and the others to eat first.

Just in time to see Zhou Yang walking by the side of the road, Zhang An called him in.

"I just said why I smelled a fragrance from all the way. It turns out that you are grilling skewers, uncle."

"Come on, come on, you chef, try the kebabs I just grilled, and give me a review."

Zhang An took a handful of mutton skewers from the plate and put them in Zhou Yang's hands.

"Well, it's delicious, very delicious, uncle, you can set up a stall in the city with your skills."

Zhang An is really good at grilling skewers, at least he sold skewers on the street in his previous life.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the small cart was confiscated.

"Yoko, what kind of situation was your blind date yesterday?"

Zhang An also forgot to ask when he came back last night, and now he just found an opportunity.

"Hehehe, it's okay."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yang felt a little shy.

"Yo, it looks like this matter is pretty sure."

Under Zhang An's severe torture, Zhou Yang came out honestly.

The woman's family is also satisfied with Zhou Yang, especially because she is close, and her daughter doesn't have to marry so far away.

And Zhou Yang is quite satisfied with that girl, Zhou Yang can also catch her eyes.

The next thing is about their relatives, in short, let the two meet more times.

Then act as a middleman and let everyone communicate about the bride price.

"Then Yoko, when are you going to treat us to a wedding wine?"

"Uncle, why are you urging me? Hurry up and invite us to have a drink with the young lady first."

Zhou Yang was quite shy at first, but when he thought about it, Zhang An also had a date, and he was still here, so why should he be shy?

"I, I can do it anytime, but I have to ask someone who can make the decision."

Zhang An had a thick skin, but he was not afraid of such a question, so he picked Su Ying with his eyes.

On the contrary, Su Ying didn't say anything, her face flushed with shame.

"Did you hear that, Xiaoying, when are you going to treat us to a drink?"

First Zhou Yang said something, and then Wang Min who was next to him made another stab, Su Ying's face seemed to be bleeding.

Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo watched the juniors play around and didn't follow suit, but they still looked at Su Ying often.

"Sister-in-law, where can I eat wine? I really like wine."

The little girl didn't understand what the adults next to her said, she only heard the sentence "eating wine".

Children love to eat wine most, because eating wine means having delicious vegetables and sugar.

As soon as this was said, everyone in the yard was amused.

"Hahaha, I heard that there is no Xiaoying, your future sister-in-law is starting to urge you, don't hurry up."

Wang Min didn't intend to let her little sister go, so she hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue her.

"Hurry up and eat, there is nothing to stop your mouth."

Su Ying gave Wang Min a white look from embarrassment, and stuffed two mutton skewers into her mouth.

"Uncle, let me bake, you go and have a rest."

Zhou Yang sat for a while, and after eating some, he took the initiative to replace Zhang An who had been by the grill.

"Okay, then leave it to the chef."

Zhang An was also polite, and put the grilled skewers on the plate.

The post in front of the grill was handed over to Zhou Yang.

"The peppers I used today were sold on the street, so they shouldn't be as spicy as yesterday's."

Zhang An looked at the few people next to him, sweating a little from eating.

"No, today is not as spicy as yesterday, so you don't have to be afraid of it, just drink a couple of sips of honey water then."

After trying the special effect of honey water last night, Su Ying is no longer afraid of Zhang An's peppers.

After Zhang An took a few bites, he went back to the kitchen.

At this time, the grass jelly in the pot has completely cooled and all solidified together.

Packed in a pot, it's like a super extra-large jelly.

Zhang An cut it from the middle with a kitchen knife and evenly cut it into four pieces.

Then take out a piece and put it in the pot aside, cut it into small pieces.

For a whole piece of jelly jelly, Zhang An only cut half of it, and the pot filled most of it.

There is no juice at home, but there is a lot of milk, but Zhang An doesn't want to use milk.

So simply use the space spring water to make a bucket of honey water, which should taste better than milk.

Because it was a temporary idea, Zhang An didn't prepare too many ingredients, only crushed peanuts and brown sugar powder at home.

But Zhang An saw in the cupboard the hawthorn cake that Wang Fang had bought to aid digestion.

Well, that's it.

Zhang An took out the hawthorn cake and cut it into cubes with a knife, so that there could be more ingredients.

Looks like it's time to plant some grapes and get some raisins then.

"Come, come, delicious food."

Zhang An carried out the honey water and jelly jelly first.

Then he turned around and went back to the kitchen to get the prepared ingredients and bowls and chopsticks

As soon as Zhang An shouted, Su Ying remembered the pot of black water that Zhang An had made for a long time in the afternoon.

"Hey, it turns out that the dark water is really like jelly when it cools down."

Looking at the pieces of grass jelly in the bowl, Su Ying thought it was quite miraculous.

The pot of dark water just now turned into this.

Zhang An first put some chopped grass jelly into the big bowl, and then sprinkled peanuts and hawthorn dices.

Finally, pour the adjusted honey water into it, and just like that, the Shaoxiancao milk tea will come out more than ten years later.

"Come on, try them all and see if they taste good."

Zhang An distributed chopsticks to them, adults and children each had a bowl.

"Yoko, do it first, and I will replace you after I finish eating."

Since Zhang An planted the fairy grass last year, he wanted to cook a pot to taste it.

It's ready now, I must try it first.

"It's okay, uncle, I've only grilled a few skewers, you guys eat first."

There was no need for Zhang An to shout, Yanzi and the others had already eaten with a big bowl.

"Brother, this jelly is really delicious."

After the little girl ate a piece of grass jelly, she was still chewing on crushed peanuts and hawthorn.

"I didn't expect the pot of dark water just now to be so delicious. Sure enough, delicious food can't be judged by its appearance."

Once the grass jelly is cooked, it tastes very refreshing.

Zhang An often boiled it in his previous life, so he must be very skilled in that technique.

In addition, Zhang An used all space spring water, so it must taste very good.

"Don't just eat this, it's the most comfortable to drink while eating meat skewers."

Barbecue with milk tea is the right way.

"This taste is right. The jelly is stirred like this, but it is chewier than the jelly. How did you do it, Xiao An?"

Wang Fang knows the function of jelly grass, and she often stirs jelly before.

Rural people often stir jelly by themselves and even make slag, all of which are pea flour.

It's just that when they stirred the jelly before, they put a lot of pea flour.

So the jelly is easily broken and has no chewiness.

The jelly made by Wang Fang and the others uses fresh jelly grass, so it is green.

But what Zhang An used was sun-dried jelly grass, and it was black when it was made.

"Mom, I just put a little bit of sweet potato flour. When you make jelly, put less pea flour, and it will be the same."

Zhang An quickly finished his bowl, and went to the grill to replace Zhou Yang.

"Yoko, you go eat, I'll bake for a while."

It's relatively easy for two people to bake this stuff.

But if one person has been baking, it is really tiring.

Today, not only lamb skewers, but also pork skewers, chicken skewers, ham sausage, potatoes and so on.

Baked for over an hour and now it's halfway through.

"Can jelly grass be so delicious?"

"Didn't expect it, this is the one I cut back when we went up the mountain to pick peaches last year."

Zhou Yang quickly discovered the business opportunity, and asked Zhang An how to do it while eating.

Their family used to sell fast food, but now their business has grown and they have opened a small restaurant at home.

He thought that if he made this thing and sold it in the future, many people would buy it.

Seeing his inquiry, Zhang An told him the method in detail.

Zhang An also has no idea of ​​making money by making this stuff, if he wants to eat it, then make some.

Many people in Guangdong and Guangxi now make this stuff, but in this area of ​​the house, few people think of doing it to eat, and most of them are used to make jelly.

"All right, all right, Swallow, you can't eat any more."

Zhang Yan ate a lot of meat skewers, and now she ate a few bowls of grass jelly with honey water, but she couldn't be allowed to continue eating.

I had accumulated food last time, so I carried it to the second grandpa and rubbed my stomach for a long time.

"Okay, then I won't eat after I finish this piece."

The little girl quickly finished the remaining piece in the bowl.

"Brother, save the leftover jelly for me to eat tomorrow."

If Aunt Zhang An said so, Little Swallow would have to quarrel.

But if it was Zhang An, Little Swallow would not make trouble, and would only be obedient.

She knew that Zhang An would not lie, her small treasury was with Zhang An, and Zhang An would give it to her every time she asked for it.

So she felt that Zhang An was more credible than her mother, as long as it was what Zhang An said, she would believe it unconditionally.

"Understood, I put it in the refrigerator, can you come over to eat tomorrow, okay?"

This courtyard barbecue lasted from dark in the afternoon until eight o'clock.

　Everyone should have a holiday tomorrow. Although the unlucky author is caught by the company to work overtime, I still wish everyone a happy May Day.
