Chapter 13 I can’t even afford it anymore

"Hmm~ Grandpa, we caught a lot of birds. Come and help us pack them up and bake them. We have to give some to Qu Xiang to take home to eat!" Xiang Tiange didn't mind her grandfather just coming back from the fields. She was full of sweat, so she rushed over and hugged his legs.

"Yaya, since these are the grains produced by young master Qu, we can't take these birds. Give them all back to young master Qu!" Lao Jiang gently pulled Xiang Tiange from Lao Xiangtou and faced him. she said.

Earlier, several children said they had agreed with Young Master Qu to catch birds in the afternoon. She thought they were just catching wild fruits for fun. Unexpectedly, the Qu family even went out of the rice field to look at the birds in the two sacks. , it seems that the other party has produced a lot of grain!
Xiang Tiange thought about it and thought it was true, so he nodded and said to Xiang Sanlang on the side: "Third brother, give our sack of birds to Qu Xiang."

Then she turned to Qu Xiang and said, "For the sake of us accompanying you to catch birds in the afternoon, can you give me the two I just selected? We don't want these birds anymore."

Qu Xiang's heart sank. If these birds were given to him, wouldn't he be able to eat the roasted birds that his friends talked about?
His greed has been aroused for a while, and now he really wants to eat roasted birds!

So he said: "No, these birds belong to you as promised. I can't break my promise, and you can't let me be such a dishonest villain!"

"This"

Lao Jiang was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Grandma, otherwise, these birds would still belong to our family, but our family packed them up and baked them. Qu Xiang said he hadn't tasted the roasted birds yet! We roasted these birds After that, give him half!" Xiang Tiange suggested.

"Okay! I think this is good!" Qu Xiang immediately nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Okay, okay." Lao Jiang responded hesitantly.

Seeing that grandma agreed, Xiangsanlang and Wulang were very happy. They had just thought that the birds they had caught all afternoon would not be shared by them, but it turned out that there were still some. They were very happy and quickly took the bag with their hands and feet. The sparrow moved to a corner of the vegetable garden behind the house.

This is where we dealt with the birds yesterday. Because the feathers and internal organs of the birds can be thrown into the pond for fertilization, it is more convenient to deal with them directly here. As for the millet eaten by the birds, Get a bucket of water, put it in a small basket and come out.

Knowing that Young Master Qu was waiting to eat these roasted birds, Boss Xiang and others quickly picked up all the birds and skewered them into strings with skewers, so that it was convenient for Young Master Jiang and others. Processed below.

Roasting the birds doesn't take long, because after the feathers are removed and the belly is opened, only a small one is left. After roasting for a quarter of an hour, the rows of birds on the stove's charcoal fire are ready.

There were a lot of birds this time, so after Mrs. Jiang finished baking, she asked Xiang Wulang, who was staying in the kitchen and refused to leave, to bring it out to Mr. Qu to try first.

Xiang Wulang nodded, and without Xiao Jiang's instructions, he quickly took down the basket hanging on the kitchen wall and held it in his hand, waiting for Xiao Jiang to put the roasted birds on it.

"You, you! You have to take care of yourself!" Mrs. Jiang gave him a funny look and ordered.

"Okay, mother!" Xiang Wulang nodded, holding the basket with the birds firmly in his hand, and walked towards the main room.

In the main room, Qu Xiang, who was sitting on a stool, smelled a very fragrant smell and was looking for it. Then he saw a basket of roasted birds coming to Wulang.After the fifth brother put the roasted bird on the table, Xiang Tiange pushed the bird towards Quxiang and said, "Quxiang, you haven't eaten this roasted bird yet, you can eat it first." !”

Qu Xiang shook his head, but pushed the bird towards Lao Jiang and Lao Xiang, "Grandma Jiang, Grandpa Xiang, you are the elders, you eat first."

Seeing Qu Xiang's determined expression, the two of them did not refuse. They picked up a bunch from the basket and divided one into each of them.

Seeing this, Qu Xiang took a bunch from the basket and ate it himself.

Seeing this, Xiang Tiange and others also took some from the basket to share. In the main room, only Lao Jiang and Lao Xiangtou were keeping company with a group of juniors. Boss Xiang and the others did not do it, fearing that the young master of the Qu family would not come. They feel comfortable, and they also feel that they are still dirty and it is difficult to entertain guests.

Lao Xiangtou had just gone to change his clothes before coming out and sitting here in the main room.

"It's delicious!" As soon as Qu Xiang took a bite, he felt that the taste of the roasted bird was something he had never experienced before, and he couldn't help but admire it.

Xiang Tiange raised his chin and said proudly: "Of course! Everything my aunt makes is delicious! I think no one in this world can cook better than my aunt!"

Little Jiang, who was still busy in the kitchen: I don’t dare to take it seriously, Yaya, you praise me like this, I really don’t dare to take it!
Qu Xiang thought for a while and said: "Although this roasted bird is delicious, the food made by my cook is also delicious! I like to eat the tender beef intestines made by my cook the most, and the lamb is big The fresh marrow of the bone is mixed with other seasonings and auxiliary ingredients, stuffed into the beef intestines and cooked, it is chewy and full of flavor! However, my grandma did not let the cook make more of this, saying that eating one dish would require killing a cow and a sheep, which is extravagant It’s a waste, so don’t let us do more!”

Xiang Tiange's eyes widened when he heard this, "I have never eaten either sheep or cow. The dish you mentioned contains both sheep and cow. It sounds delicious!"

"Yeah!" Xiang Wulang next to him drooled even more when he heard this, and nodded in response to what his eighth sister said.

"Then next time if my family makes this dish again, I will have someone come over and call you." Qu Xiang said.

"Okay, okay, you must remember!" Xiang Tiange nodded and warned him.

"I won't forget it, don't worry!" Qu Xiang promised while eating the roasted bird in his hand.

Before they could stop them, Lao Jiang and Lao Xiangtou said:
If the sheep and cows are broken, can they afford to return the favor when the time comes?
Qu Xiang added: "In addition to Tonghua soft beef intestines, there are other things I also like to eat, such as Jinling Zhi, Shengjin 24 Qi Wontons, and Eight Immortals Plate. I also like to eat them! I will invite you to my house then. Taste it!”

Lao Jiang and Lao Xiangtou: I can’t afford to pay you back! ! !
Half an hour later, Qu Xiang and Dafu happily left Lao Xiang's house and walked back towards Qu's Zhuangzi.

Dafu also held a dustpan of roasted birds in his hand, and Qu Xiang wanted to take it back so that his grandparents could also taste the deliciousness of the roasted birds!
"Grandma, grandma, grandson brought some good things back for you and grandpa to try!"
