Chapter 167 Barbecue Time
The sound of slurping noodles could be heard continuously from the kitchen of the Tongue Club. The first ones to get restless were the greedy students from Class 8 of Grade 1. They stood up from their seats in tacit understanding and returned to the small kitchen under the gazes of the people around them or their fellow club members.

Xiangchuan had expected this and quickly ate the last bite of chicken thigh. Although there was still half a bowl left in her bowl, the side dishes had already been finished. However, Ouyang Yating and the other two were still immersed in the rich taste impact brought by the soy sauce, savoring each bite slowly. The noodles and side dishes in the three bowls were not reduced at all, and they were immediately stared at by the greedy students in Class 8 of Senior 1 with green eyes.

"Aino! I want a bowl too!"

"Student Ouyang, please give me a piece of meat, just a small piece!"

"Liang Gong, you have so many vegetables left, can I help you with that?"

"By the way, do you have any chili oil and pepper?"

……

Seeing their classmates surrounding them, Ouyang Yating and the other two realized that they could not keep their noodles today. Seeing that their president had already put down his bowl and ran to the side to drink juice, the three of them had to make a decision - hand over their bowls of noodles.

Thus, the first soy sauce beef bone noodle soup after the dark virus crisis broke out in the Tianyuan era was snatched up to the last drop of soup by a dozen students who ran to the Tongue Tip Restaurant for afternoon tea like locusts passing through.

Just as the students in Class 8 of Grade 1 were still savoring the rich flavors of soy sauce and broth, the announcement of the end of school sounded, and everyone realized: the afternoon had just passed like this?

As for Kagawa, she had already filled two bottles of soy sauce and walked towards the school gate. At the end, she did not forget to send a message to the three members of her club: [I took three pieces of marinated steak from the kitchen. You can divide the remaining three pieces among yourselves. Just cook them as you normally would when frying steaks.]

Ouyang Yating and the other two looked at the message from their president, and then looked at the three steaks that had been noticed by many classmates, and suddenly they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Of course, Kagawa didn't know this as he was already on the bus heading home.

"You exhausted us yesterday."

The next morning, in Class 8 of Grade 1.

As soon as Xiangchuan sat down, Ouyang Yating, who had been waiting for a long time, said out loud the complaints she had been holding back all night. Yesterday afternoon after school, three members of the Tongue Club VS the greedy students of Class 8 of Senior 1 staged a vigorous offensive and defensive battle over three steaks. In the end, it was only when Ino used the forbidden secret skill "Call the teacher (and the teacher is not off work yet)" that they successfully saved their respective steaks.

Although the steak was as delicious as the three of them and the other greedy people in the class expected.

Receiving the rare resentful gaze from Ouyang Yating, Xiangchuan laughed and did not dare to continue the conversation. After all, she was the one who slipped away first yesterday.

Seeing her like this, Ouyang Yating sighed, thinking about how to get her boss to compensate them in other ways, and she also changed the subject obediently: "Speaking of which, how is the soy sauce issue going at home?"

"This morning when my father went out, he took the two bottles of soy sauce that I brought home with him, saying that he would take them to the meeting today to convince the shareholders." By the way, he also took out her beef bone noodle soup recipe from yesterday and prepared to make it on the spot, Kagawa said in his heart.

Last night, after Kagawa used three marinated steaks to make a dish of fried chicken with mushrooms and soy sauce, Xiang Weiguo was completely conquered by the rich aroma of the soy sauce. So, he took Secretary Ono with him overnight to compile the information of this soy sauce and the previous information of tofu and soy milk into a book. He rushed to the company early this morning, just to be able to name the new product that will change Yuexiang Group with the Yuexiang name as soon as possible.

After all, according to his information channel, most of the students present had seen Kagawa using soy sauce in the beef bone noodle soup yesterday. This made him feel a sense of crisis.

Xiang Weiguo: We still understand the principle of striking first to gain the advantage!

"But if we want to mass-produce, we still have to wait until Douzi is completely 'promoted'." Kagawa yawned and saw the expectant eyes of other students in the class looking at him, until his father was one hundred percent sure about this meeting.

If even a bowl of beef bone noodle soup can't handle it, then I'm going to use my ultimate move - Lanzhou beef noodles! Xiangchuan was rubbing his hands in his heart.

But the first thing to be solved right now is - in the afternoon, on the open space next to the Tongue Society restaurant.

Kagawa looked at the retro-style brick stove in front of her. Apart from the fact that the feel of the bricks and tiles had nothing to do with the rough or frosted feel of the earthen bricks she had touched as a child in her previous life, she almost thought that she was actually in a small European farm in the 19th or 20th century, preparing to make fragrant toast and mixed vegetable stew.

"How do you cook with this thing? Just throw it into the stove?" Ino looked it up and down.

"Since it's related to an internally heated oven, it should be heated internally, right?" Liang Gong looked at the protruding column above the brick oven curiously, "What is this used for?"

"That is used to exhaust smoke. Ancient people were unable to fully extract the energy from the combustion of wood and charcoal, so the incompletely burned particles rose with the heat to form smoke. If they were sealed in a brick oven, it would affect the taste of the food, so they used this chimney to exhaust them." Ouyang Yating flipped through the information that Kagawa had given her in the terminal, and at the end she looked up at Kagawa and asked, "Is my explanation correct?"

"…I think so." Kagawa thought to himself, I don't know if you ask me. She just glanced at the information and simply checked it before sending it to everyone in the club.

"So what happens now? Start making the bread you mentioned?" Ino asked.

"No hurry, let's test the operation of this brick oven first." Xiangchuan said, picking up the baking tray beside him, "Let's try grilling some meat first."

"..."

Modern pure fuel was put into the passage below the brick oven. The balance between the insulation of the bricks and the internal heating gradually raised the temperature inside the oven. The four people standing next to the oven felt a bit of heat. Kagawa picked up the long-handled tool beside him that imitated the medieval baker's common tool for putting bread or meals into the oven, put the steak on the baking tray and the chicken and eggs wrapped in insulation paper into the oven, then closed the door of the brick oven, turned to look at the temperature display screen next to the brick oven, and after confirming that the temperature remained within 250 degrees, he ran to the side and started drinking fruit milk.

Ouyang Yating and the other two stood around the oven, staring at it. In order to prevent burns, the exterior of the oven was made of high-grade heat-insulating bricks that could withstand temperatures of two thousand degrees Celsius. So even if you touched it, you could only feel the smooth and cold feel of the bricks. If it weren't for the white smoke coming out of the chimney and the aroma of barbecue, at first glance, this oven would appear to be completely silent.

About ten minutes later, Kagawa, who had finished browsing the campus forum nearby, left her seat and picked up the long-handled tool again, asking the three to stay away from the oven. She put on heat-insulating gloves and opened the oven door. The heat wave scared Ouyang Yating and the other two, who were prepared, so much that they stepped back repeatedly. Kagawa picked up the long-handled tool and shoveled and pulled it in, and the sizzling oven tray was taken out. The chicken and eggs wrapped in insulation paper could not see the inside, but the aroma of the chicken juice flowing out of the gap below was enough to arouse the three's appetite, not to mention the steak. Kagawa specially chose the part with more fat to roast, and when it was taken out, you could see the fat on the steak sizzling. The beef marinated with soy sauce and pepper became even more fragrant after being roasted in this way.

"You guys deal with the meat first, I'll continue." Kagawa said as he picked up another baking tray and put it into the brick oven in the same way. The inside of the brick oven was thoughtfully divided into two layers. Kagawa saw that the roasted meat he had just taken out was in good condition, so he put both baking trays in at once.

After closing the oven door, Kagawa picked up two baked eggs from the first baking tray, used heat-insulating gloves to peel off the outer layer of heat-insulating paper, then rolled them on the table. After taking off the gloves, she peeled off the eggshells, and the burnt aroma wafted into her nose. She picked up the eggs with a fork, dipped them in the salt and pepper next to them, and took a big bite. The firm egg whites and dry and fragrant yolks brought a wonderful taste different from boiled eggs, which made her unable to stop.

At this time, she smelled the aroma of chicken. She turned around and saw Ino holding a compressed laser cutter and skillfully cutting the whole chicken into pieces. The chicken's body had been cut into pieces, and now he was preparing to cut the chicken legs and large chicken wings.

"Save the legs!" Kagawa quickly rushed over and snatched the chicken leg from Ino's hand, "This is not cooking, don't touch the limbs when grilling meat!"

As she spoke, she picked up the greaseproof paper prepared beside her, and deftly wrapped the two chicken thighs and the roots of the chicken legs of the wings and placed them next to the plate. Then she took Ino's compressed laser cutter and cut the chicken wings and wings into pieces and placed them next to them.

"Why don't you get rid of the chicken thighs?" Liang Gong asked the question in the minds of Ouyang Yating, who was watching Xiangchuan cutting vegetables, and Ino, who looked depressed.

"One reason is that the bones of chicken thighs are difficult to cut. Of course, I mean for ancient people. If you use ancient kitchen utensils to forcibly cut them, it is easy for broken bones to mix in. It is better to eat them directly. The second reason is the taste of the chicken thigh meat itself. The taste of chicken meat requires softness and toughness. The chicken thigh meat best meets this standard. The chicken thigh meat is firm and not dry, and it is easy to absorb flavor when marinated. In addition, the stick-shaped structure is easy to hold in the hand, which is more visually impactful than other parts. A chicken only has two thighs and two calves. In a family with many people, it can be said that there are too many monks and too little porridge. Therefore, from ancient times to ancient times, chicken thigh meat is a rare delicacy for meat lovers."

"They are quite pitiful then," Ino commented.

"It's not so bad. Later, economic and agricultural conditions improved, and after we bred chickens that could be slaughtered in a short period of time, the price of chicken thighs in the market also came down. However, compared with native farm chickens, the meat quality is still lacking." Kagawa looked at the large platter of roasted chicken in front of him and swallowed his saliva. "It's also fortunate that our modern agricultural technology has reached its peak. A chicken of similar quality to the ancient native chicken can be bought for more than ten star coins. Otherwise, even if this chicken can be made, the cost will be much higher."

It was during the field training that Kagawa discovered that the chicken was of extremely high quality. At that time, when he saw the chickens brought back by his classmates who went out on patrol, his eyes lit up. After processing the chicken feathers and internal organs, they were put into the pot together with the onions and ginger and boiled. The aroma when it came out of the pot was very similar to the taste of the local chickens that the family would only take out during the Chinese New Year. Later, he found out that this was actually a type of chicken with unified standards of the Third Fleet. The chicken ordered by the Tongue Club was of the same type, and the price was very cheap, with a retail price of more than ten star dollars per chicken. The internal wholesale price of the Yuexiang Group could even be reduced to single digits.

If I had told her in her previous life that she could get a native chicken for a dozen dollars, her parents would probably have thought she was talking nonsense after secretly drinking the rice wine brewed at home.
