Chapter 204 Another Year of Dragon Boat Festival (1)
After hearing Lin Xiaoqiao's words, Dalang and Erlang brothers were the first to respond: "Okay, there is no problem, sister, hurry up!"

The two brothers are now very active in eating food, being led by Lin Xiaoqiao, a 'foodie'.

Because the ingredients and so on have been moved to the backyard by Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters in advance. Not only that, they even set up a fire for the barbecue, and now they directly lead everyone to the backyard.

When everyone came to the backyard, they were quite surprised to see the decorations. They set up a fire pit for roasting hares and roast pheasants, and there was a special fire pit built by Lin Xiaoqiao with a few bricks on both sides. It was erected, and then the big iron plate was built on the bricks and stones on both sides.

Lin Xiaoqiao hurriedly called everyone to start their hands, lit a fire to roast hare and pheasant, and roasted two fish along the way. The seasonings were all brushed, so they only had to be responsible for adding fuel to the fire.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoqiao didn't care about the two fires. Now she can just focus on the fire with the iron plate on it. Speaking of this iron plate, Mrs. Li and the others are a little strange, they don't know its usefulness, In fact, it is used to grill those vegetables, meat slices and fish fillets. First, brush a layer of oil on the surface of the iron plate, and then put the vegetables, meat slices on it and bake it. This kind of barbecue is similar to Teppanyaki in the previous life.

The three fires were roasting together, and everyone started to work together. After a while, there was a burst of fragrance. Lin Xiaoqiao's iron grill was faster, so he grilled some rabbit and fish slices first, and served them. Let everyone eat together.

Because Lin Xiaoqiao has a good handle on the heat, the meat slices grilled on the iron plate are very fresh and tender, unlike the hare and pheasant, which can have a burnt aroma on the surface.

The dark night sky is dotted with stars, and Lin Xiaoqiao and his party are eating and grilling in the backyard. Not only can they enjoy the delicious food, but they can also experience the fun of doing it themselves.

Everyone finds this different way of eating fresh and interesting, especially it suits Da Lang Erlang's taste very well. When everyone's belly is round after eating, the two of them still clamored that they should hold more times Such a fun BBQ!
From this family barbecue, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly had a hint of inspiration. It seems that there is no food similar to barbecue here, so if she can make a breakthrough and open a barbecue shop, the business must be good. Not bad right.

Lying on the bed at night, Lin Xiaoqiao was thinking about this matter. It is already the end of April, and the weather has begun to change from warm to hot. It is definitely impossible to open a barbecue shop in this season.

After all, there is no air-conditioning here, so in the hot weather, the barbecue is full of smoke and fire. How can anyone sit still in such an environment.

When autumn comes, maybe she can consider implementing the following way to make money, opening an ancient "self-service barbecue bar", the facilities are not too complicated, just a charcoal pot and an iron plate That's it.

Lin Xiaoqiao thought about this matter repeatedly in his heart, and finally decided to wait until autumn to see the situation, and then decide according to circumstances.

The temperature has been getting higher and higher recently. Lin Xiaoqiao is a master who is afraid of cold and heat, so he has long been unable to bear the rising temperature, and changed into a cool and light silk singlet.

Speaking of the changing clothes, I have to mention the credit of Widow Zheng. Since she made Lin Xiaoqiao a new set of clothes last time, Widow Zheng seems to have given Lin Xiaoqiao two sisters the job of making clothes. , and took it from Li Shi's hand.

It has to be said that Widow Zheng is skillful and careful, and the clothes she made are indeed more beautiful and exquisite than those made by their mother-in-law, Li Shi. As for the new clothes she made, the two sisters, Lin Xiaoqiao, are all the same. I can't put it down, I like it from the bottom of my heart.

Mrs. Li seems to be quite self-aware of her craft of hand-made embroidery and embroidery. In addition, she understands Widow Zheng's deep heart, and her heart knot about losing her daughter in her early years. Let her make clothes for the children.

Mrs. Li felt that maybe this way, Widow Zheng could make up for some of the shortcomings in her heart...

This daily temperature rise continued until the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, and the weather did not change, and the weather began to become hotter day by day.

Recently, Lin Xiaoqiao has been watering those vegetables and fruits more diligently every day, especially those tomato seedlings. The soil they grow in must be kept moist.

Not only did the things in front of her have to be taken care of properly, but Lin Xiaoqiao didn't forget the mustard seedlings in the field. She often asked her father, Lin Erniu, to help her take a look, water and fertilize them, and she herself I went to look under the sun and found that most of the seedlings were growing normally. They had grown to a height of more than 20 centimeters after not seeing them for a few days.

There are only a few seedlings, perhaps because their vitality is not tenacious enough, and when the sun shines, those leaves are already withered. Lin Xiaoqiao also knows that this is a normal situation, and there is no roc or greenhouse here, so it is basically inevitable.

Due to the heat, the crops are still like this, let alone people. Lin Xiaoqiao found that the street market in the nearest town, that is, in the morning and evening, there are more people walking around, and at noon and afternoon, there is almost nothing. People move around.

There were fewer people walking around, and naturally there were fewer people eating out. The business of Lin Xiaoqiao's shop has also deteriorated a lot recently, with a daily turnover of less than ten taels of silver.

In fact, this is not the case with their shop. In such a hot weather, other shops on the street are not doing well. A few shops have simply closed their doors and went home to escape the heat.

Seeing that the business of the shop is not getting better day by day, everyone has a trace of melancholy lately, especially Shunzi and Manzi, who stand at the door of the shop every day and fail to meet a few customers, scratching their heads in anxiety.

Anyway, there are not many customers recently, and the business is very cold, so on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Li simply closed the shop for a day, and distributed the holiday benefits to the guys. Each person had ten rice dumplings with various fillings, plus five catties pork.

The two guys had packed their things the day before and went back to celebrate the festival. Mrs. Li had also consulted Mrs. Zhao earlier to see if the second and third families would celebrate the holiday together this year.

Mrs. Zhao didn't want to always take advantage of the second room. She knew that if the two families celebrated the festival together, Mrs. Li would definitely arrange everything without spending a penny on her own, so she rejected Mrs. Li's kindness, and also Taking advantage of the benefits distributed in the shop, she went home to spend the holidays with her husband and daughter.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Dalang Erlang School was also closed. Li Shi and Lin Erniu still hung wormwood and calamus on the gates of the houses in the town according to the usual practice. He took out the sachet and wrapped colorful silk threads around his wrists.
