The evening breeze blows and the indoor barbecue grill crackles, making me happy and warm.
Liu Yisheng looked at the barbecue restaurant where people were coming and going: "Fourth, do you still remember when we were freshmen, we had barbecue in this restaurant?"
"Remember, a camp made of iron and a new life born of running water."
Gu Yun said with a smile, although school has not completely started yet, there are many customers in the barbecue shop.
Barbecue is a necessity of human beings all year round.
Especially the old handicraft store near the school has a unique flavor.
Wash ten kilograms of good lamb leg meat, separate the fat and lean meat, and cut it into small pieces of one cubic centimeter. The lamb cannot be marinated, and the main emphasis is on the umami flavor.
Put five pieces of lean meat and one piece of fat meat into bamboo skewers, put the prepared charcoal into the iron grill, light the fire and fan it, and prepare to put it on the stove.
Spread a handful of meat skewers evenly spaced, turn the skewer with your left hand, use a brush with your right hand to apply oil, and shake a handful of salt grains three times.
The color of the mutton quickly changed in the fan, and then sprinkled with cumin, pepper, and chili powder. When you smell it in the wind, it is fragrant.
Watching the fat meat turn into a crystal clear yellow color and oil sizzling out, this skewer is ready to be served.
"This mutton still tastes the same as before."
Gu Yun blew a breath. The mutton was so tender that it was so hot that the meat juice oozed out after taking a bite. Along with the spiciness of chili noodles and the fresh aroma of cumin and pepper, it entered the throat and swirled around.
"In my freshman year, when we came here to drink, I would actually drink too much every time to drown my sorrows."
Accompanied by alcohol, Liu Yisheng fell into memories.
Every time Liu Yisheng and his roommates came to the barbecue stall to drink, he was a good-looking man who didn't drink well, but he also liked to show off his strength. He often ran to the bathroom to vomit before returning to the battlefield.
In addition, throughout his freshman year, Liu Yisheng spent almost all of his time dealing with love breakups and being dumped. There were quite a few times when he needed to drink to drown his sorrows.
Thinking of that youthful time, and looking at the coquettish and sweet look of Bai Wenshu next to him, Liu Yisheng couldn't help but laugh.
As he grows up, he feels more and more that human emotions are really wonderful things that can easily swing between two extremes.
If he doesn't get what he wants, he will fall into pain, but if he gets what he once dreamed of, he will fall into boredom.
"Doctor, do you still have this time?"
Gu Yun noticed that Bai Wenshu's voice seemed to have changed a little when talking to Liu Yisheng.
Perhaps what Zhang Ailing said did make sense. Bai Wenshu's voice sounded a little higher in pitch. Coupled with the resonance in her nasal cavity, her voice became much thinner involuntarily.
In later generations of online dating circles, this was also called a “clip.”
Unlike Gu Yun and Gu Yun who were feasting, Bai Wenshu only ate a few skewers of beef and mutton before changing her target.
She pays attention to controlling her figure. She mainly eats peanuts and edamame beans on the table. After marinating the edamame beans for a long time, the skin falls off with just a pinch. When she sips with her small mouth, the beans jump into her mouth one by one.
The soul of barbecue is often found in this appetizer. The shells of the peanuts have been boiled until soft. When you bite them, the salty and spicy marinade inside comes out. When your tongue is smooth, the still firm peanut kernels are often still there.
A bit sweet.
"It's normal. Who doesn't grow up in the middle of the night?"
Liu Yisheng smiled, raised his glass and touched it with Gu Yun.
The oven on the table continued to burn, and a handful of beef tendons and tofu skins were brought to the table. On the other side, a few skewers of large squid were already roasted to a crispy brown color, and the sesame seeds made a sizzling sound.
"Despite what I say, I often feel that apart from the fact that I have matured a lot emotionally, my college life is almost halfway over and I haven't learned anything. Sometimes I feel empty."
Liu Yisheng sighed and said, "Boss, four more skewers of grilled chicken wings."
The boss not far away made a gesture.
"You can't learn anything in school."
Bai Wenshu took over Liu Yisheng's words, "The textbooks only contain knowledge. Only a small amount can be used when entering society. It is better to have more contact with society."
On this point, Bai Wenshu, who has worked part-time, understands much better than Liu Yisheng.
When Xiaole started learning, she received a lot of emotional counseling there, and coupled with her good looks, she earned a lot of pocket money.
"Indeed, I plan to do some part-time work this semester."
Liu Yisheng nodded, he also agreed with Bai Wenshu's point of view.
"Isn't it easy for you to work part-time?"
Bai Wenshu pursed her lips at Gu Yun. With the relationship between Liu Yisheng and Gu Yun, it would not be difficult to go to any department of the Paradise Group for training.
"Minister Gu, I want to do an internship at Xiaojushu after this semester starts. Is that okay?"
On weekdays, Bai Wenshu did not have many opportunities to have close contact with Gu Yun.
Although she is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Student Union, Gu Yun basically no longer appears in the student union.
Even the nominal minister He Xuan does not often participate in activities. In fact, the daily work of the Propaganda Department is completed by Bai Wenshu alone.
During this period, Bai Wenshu also received a lot of ability training and found the industry she really wanted to work in.
Many of the daily lives shared by girls in Xiaoju books are exactly what Bai Wenshu wants.
In a word, she wants to have the same exquisite lady style.
"Tell He Xuan where you want to go. I don't care about these little things."
Gu Yun sat across from him, staring at the boss's skillful barbecue skills not far away, his mind wandering.
A top barbecue chef, every move is an art.
While the boss was grilling the chicken wings, Gu Yun felt a sense of beauty. The two pieces of wings were skewered into a skewer, and the knife was cut forward and backward several times. The oyster sauce and light soy sauce barbecue ingredients were added with water to make a secret sauce.
Then take a small brush and brush both sides carefully.
Rotate with your left hand and bake on the oven until the knives explode and the chicken skin becomes crispy. Then brush it with a thick layer of honey until the chicken wings are shiny and sweet, and the boss brings them nearby.
Along with it are two slices of steamed buns, a bunch of pepper and salt, and a bunch of sweetness.
"Fuck, I'm going to build a stove like this in the future. It would be great to eat at home in the winter."
Gu Yun took a bite of the chicken wing, squinted his eyes and sighed.
Compared to Liu Yisheng and Bai Wenshu, who were anxious about the future, what he cared about was the little things full of human fireworks.
This is not only the foundation for financial freedom, but also the way a reborn person views the world.
Compared with how to find a job, how to turn knowledge into money, and how to win over his peers, those are not the things he needs to consider.
What food is delicious, what life is comfortable for, and what things make him happier are what he cares about.
For example, the owner of this restaurant secretly learned the barbecue skills, got a batch of tools in his villa, and cooked a barbecue for his girlfriend. Wouldn’t that be a pleasure?
After a meal, we had enough to eat and drink, and we talked happily.
Seeing that the lights were starting to go up, Liu Yisheng was too embarrassed to take Bai Wenshu back to the dormitory, so the two of them went to find a hotel.
Gu Yun simply drove to Optics Valley alone to enjoy the breeze and eat.
Listening to the cruise ships turning on their lights and honking horns as they cross the bridge, watching street guys holding guitars and humming, and the evening breeze carrying the hustle and bustle of the world.
