As soon as he said this, Zhuang Jianhui fell silent, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Several others were embarrassed, especially Lin Zida. He was planning to pick up an egg because Zhuang Jianhui was showing off, but it turned out that it was not an egg.
This kind of embarrassment is even greater than meeting an acquaintance from school.
Li Shi recovered relatively quickly, and she met Xue Yuantong again. She was quite impressed by the little girl, but she felt that she was too innocent.
I remember she saw Xue Yuantong eating jelly at the parallel bars during a sports meeting in the first year of high school.
Li Shi never ate, and even told Xue Yuantong to eat less. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't see what she meant, and even gave her jelly to eat.
Li Shi couldn't help but feel funny. Although the other party was good at studying, he was obviously not familiar with the world.
Even Li Shi couldn't dislike this kind of person.
Besides, Li Shi was only targeting Jiang Ning. She couldn't stand how Jiang Ning, who came from an ordinary family, could actually have a relationship with Ding Shuyan and become equals.
Li Shi is tall, more than ten centimeters taller than Chu Chu who is 1.66 meters tall, and is taller than many boys.
She looked down from a high position, and what was revealed between her brows and eyes was not Xiaojiabiyu, but an arrogant temperament. She spoke and asked:
"Where is Jiang Ning? Where has she gone?"
Lin Zida thought her spirit was too strong and was a bit disgraceful. Most of the peers he came into contact with were from well-off backgrounds, which always made them feel superior to others.
It's just that Lin Zida knows better that not only Xue Yuantong, who has outstanding achievements, but also the girl next to him who looks like his cousin, is very likely to be extraordinary in the future, not to mention his half-friend Jiang Ning.
Lin Zida laughed and had a gentle attitude: "Every time I see you, I'm with Jiang Ning. Why is he missing now?"
Xue Yuantong thought to himself, 'Do I know where he hangs out?'
However, she would not say this in front of outsiders. She did not want others to underestimate Jiang Ning.
"He went out to do errands." Xue Yuantong said. She guessed that Jiang Ning should have gone out to buy groceries, but she never said anything that was not certain.
Lin Zida: "Oh, okay."
He was wondering if he should invite them to have a meal at a nearby farmhouse when Jiang Ning came back. After all, the two of them often talked about games in the school corridor.
He thought about the three people around him again, and Lin Zida gave up and added someone else in the middle. If the conversation didn't go well, it would be unpleasant and affect the relationship.
Lin Zida thought again, 'Last time I heard Jiang Ning say that he got the latest gtx980 graphics card, and I will go check out his game room later.'
The ‘game room’, which was only popularized by the public in later generations, has long been a must-have in the eyes of people from Lin Zida’s family background.
He not only has a game room, but also a craft room, a video room, a study room, and a gym that is never used.
…
It's getting late, the asphalt road is on the river bank.
Jiang Ning carried a plastic bag in her left hand, which contained wild mushrooms and eggs produced in Huqi Mountain, and she carried a huge hare in her right hand.
My neighbor, Mr. Qian, was sitting in front of a small stall by the river dam, facing the Huishui River, drinking tofu nao, and living a very comfortable life. He saw Jiang Ning passing by, and then noticed the fluffy rabbit in his hand.
The 16-pound rabbit looks very big, which is quite shocking.
His eyes widened, "Xiao Jiang, where did you get the rabbit? It's bigger than my dog!"
Jiang Ning: "I bought it."
Teacher Qian stopped drinking and came over to watch. People walking or eating around him also looked at him.
"How much does such a big rabbit cost?" Teacher Qian asked.
Jiang Ning said: "A few hundred."
"So expensive?" Teacher Qian clicked his tongue.
After chatting for a few words, Jiang Ning walked towards a row of bungalows in the direction of home, accompanied by the dusk in the fields.
After Jiang Ning returned home, Xue Yuantong's reaction was even greater, "Rabbit!!!"
"What a big rabbit!" Xue Yuantong was shocked.
The shock in Xue Chuchu's heart was no less than that of Tongtong, but she concealed it well on the surface. Only her eyes showed some surprise and emotion.
Jiang Ning mentioned the dead rabbit and shook it: "Isn't it cute?"
"If you think it's too cute, it's okay if you don't want to eat it." Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong shook his head: "Little rabbits are cute, big rabbits are not."
"Braised in braised sauce, stir-fried, served cold, grilled?" Xue Yuantong began to decide how the rabbit would die for the second time.
After voting, the roast rabbit plan was unanimously approved.
Xue Yuantong had a barbecue grill at home, but lacked charcoal. It was simple. The two girls treated the hares at home. Jiang Ning went to the farmhouse and asked Yang Fei to borrow some charcoal.
The people in Heba are simple and honest, and neighbors interact with each other. It is normal for someone to borrow something if someone is in need of something. Sometimes Aunt Gu will make delicious food and give it away. It is not like the cold neighbor relationship in the city.
Yang Fei was a righteous man, and without saying a word, he packed several kilograms of charcoal for Jiang Ning for free, which was enough for him.
Jiang Ning was not stingy and took a piece of wild mushroom and gave it away, "I bought too much, and I won't be able to use up the stew."
When Yang Fei saw this piece of mushroom, he couldn't help but smile, and he didn't dislike it: "Okay, I forgot to buy mushrooms today. The piece you sent me is just perfect for roasting and eating."
…
In summer, barbecue is suitable for outdoor barbecue.
Jiang Ning turned on the headlight at the door and moved the barbecue grill outside. The charcoal was scattered in the furnace and covered with a spiritual flame, which instantly ignited the charcoal. The effect was much more powerful than a blower.
The black charcoal suddenly turned red.
At this time, not only Jiang Ning was working on the barbecue grill in the open space outside, but there were also three tables of guests at the door of the farmhouse on the far west side of the bungalow.
There were three middle-aged men at one table, and a family of six at the other table, two elderly people, a couple, and two children.
At the last table, there were four people, Lin Zida.
The couple in the family asked curiously: "Is there also a farmhouse opened over there?"
“The place is not big, but the competition is quite fierce,” they joked.
The atmosphere is quite pleasant.
Their main course was still being prepared, and Yang Fei served some cold dishes in advance.
Li Shi pinched a five-spice peanut and said with a smile: "Did Jiang Ning see us eating barbecue and learn how to make barbecue?"
"Don't you want to imitate me?" she complained.
Wang Yong didn't care: "He should like to make these things to eat. Last time we went boating, remember, they were stewing small fish on the boat."
Hearing this, Li Shi recalled the last time they rowed a boat and ate braised meat. It turned out that Jiang Ning was stewing small fish, and the stew was very fragrant and disgusting.
Li Shi said: "Wang Yong, are you sure this food is delicious? I don't want to be compared anymore."
Wang Yong was confident: "Don't worry, Uncle Yang specially invited a master chef to cook today. Can you smell the aroma of mutton?"
"The lively little goat was killed and stewed in the morning, and the taste is not to mention." Wang Yong was very young and enjoyed it quite a lot.
"The mutton we will grill later is also the freshest. It is definitely better than what you eat in Ancheng. Last year I went to Ancheng and went to a store, and it was actually synthetic mutton." Wang Yong sighed.
Li Shi: "That's okay."
She not only wants to have a good time eating, but also wants to get back to where she was last time.
When I think of Jiang Ning's dirty roasted meat, which is half-cooked, while she eats the roasted mutton beautifully, I feel a sense of happiness.
"It's a pity that Shu Yan didn't come." Li Shi couldn't help but regret, "She hasn't been with us for a long time."
Lin Zida: "There is no way, she is learning skills from the old woman."
The corner of Zhuang Jianhui's mouth twitched: "You must not let Sister Lin hear it, or she will tear your mouth apart."
Lin Zida: "Hey, how is that possible?"
…
The rabbit was too big. Xue Yuantong used her knife skills. She usually looked weak and had no strength, but when she chopped the ribs, she was extremely fierce.
Under strong driving force, Xue Yuantong cut the rabbit into two parts. The rabbit was too big, so he left half of it uncooked and planned to eat it when his mother came home.
Add salt, light soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise... a series of ingredients to marinate and taste.
Finally, she inserted the iron skewers, picked up the tray, and transported the rabbit to the open space outside, directly above the grill.
Xue Chuchu wanted to see the roasted rabbit, but she had to stay at home to cook other dishes, mushroom, spinach, wild egg soup, and cut some fruits.
The charcoal fire in the oven became more and more powerful. Xue Yuantong sat on the pony and concentrated on brushing oil on the rabbit.
The combination of fresh rabbit meat and bright charcoal fire filled the air with the aroma of rabbit meat. Xue Yuantong's face was so smoked that it turned red and delicate, as if it was water.
Jiang Ning cast a spell to temporarily lock the fragrance, and only the slightest trace of fragrance was released.
Wild rabbit meat is strong and tender, and after adding seasonings, it is delicious. What's more, the rabbits caught by Jiang Ning are the best among rabbits.
After bathing in the essence of spiritual energy and consuming spiritual herbs every day, the spiritual beast has begun to take shape. If it is still alive, it can even fight against beasts of the same level.
The taste is unmatched by ordinary rabbits.
As time passed, the color of the roasted rabbit meat showed an attractive color. Xue Yuantong brushed it with another layer of oil. Due to the high temperature of the charcoal fire, the oil boiled on the surface of the rabbit meat.
Xue Yuantong changed the side of the rabbit meat. The color of the rabbit meat was already golden. Xue Yuantong sipped his saliva and said, "It's time to add seasonings."
At some point, Chu Chu came, and she responded: "Yeah, you can go."
Jiang Ning commanded: "Chu Chu, stop looking, you clear the dining table and other things."
After hearing this, Xue Chuchu said nothing and turned back to the house.
In the past, Jiang Ning was responsible for all these things, but today, he actually ordered him. Xue Chuchu guessed, 'He was afraid that Tongtong would steal it, so he stayed behind to guard it."
Xue Chuchu was very virtuous. She moved the small dining table, brought the soup pot, and added ice cubes to the cut fruits and squeezed sugar cane juice.
Finally, everything is ready.
At this time, the boundless land was plunged into darkness. This was the world at night, but the big light at the door still illuminated this place brightly.
In the light, Xue Yuantong sprinkled the final seasoning and a layer of sesame seeds before serving the roasted rabbit.
Jiang Ning released the spell, and the rich fragrance spread instantly, becoming more and more alluring.
Xue Yuantong: "Wow!"
The aroma of rabbit meat born in Huqi Mountain is so strong that it quickly drifts to the vicinity of the farmhouse with the wind.
Not long after Li Shi and the others had finished cooking, Wang Yong and Lin Zida were roasting mutton. Li Shi put on gloves, peeled off a crab, and handed it to Zhuang Jianhui.
She took the mutton skewers from Wang Yong and was about to eat them when she suddenly smelled the aroma coming from afar.
She was almost carried away by the rich fragrance.
Before she could speak, she heard three middle-aged people eating next to her blurt out: "What smells so good?"
Li Shi turned around and looked at Jiang Ning's direction in disbelief. It was coming from that direction. It was definitely right.
"What did they bake?" Li Shi asked.
Lin Zida was also greedy: "I don't know!"
Li Shi took a few breaths and turned around with difficulty, but the fragrance lingered around the tip of her nose, lingering. She lowered her head and looked at the mutton skewers in her hands. The originally fragrant mutton skewers suddenly lost their fragrance for some reason.
Woolen cloth?
Wang Yong: "Sister Shishi, do you want to eat?"
Li Shi took a sip of Coca-Cola and said insincerely: "Suddenly I felt a little tired."
Wang Yong's main purpose was to satisfy them. When he heard this, he said: "Maybe the mutton is too greasy. I will find you something to relieve the greasy taste."
He went to the farmhouse and brought out a plate of fruit and some vegetarian dishes. He happened to see the piece of mushroom and saw the freshness of the mushroom. Wang Yong thought it must be delicious.
After telling Boss Yang, I took it away.
Wang Yong put down the fruit, and Li Shi ate a few grapes. She couldn't bear the smell of rabbit meat and looked back.
…
The roasted rabbit was served to the table, and the golden and attractive rabbit meat was exposed in front of Xue Chuchu's eyes.
She is reserved and polite, so naturally she won't make the first move.
Moreover, she also faced an embarrassing problem. The rabbit was half intact. Xue Chuchu had never eaten similar food and didn't know how to start.
I can't seem to pick it up with chopsticks.
Xue Chuchu picked up the cup and took a sip of sugarcane juice. The sugarcane juice with ice cubes was like a spring breeze, bringing with it a hint of freshness and sweet juice, which made people aftertaste.
Xue Yuantong aimed at the rabbit legs, or the front legs. She knew how to eat them.
Compared with rabbit hind legs, the meat of rabbit front legs is more tender and tastes better.
However, there is only one rabbit front leg, and there are Jiang Ning and Chu Chu present. As the owner, Xue Yuantong can't come up and snatch the rabbit leg, right?
She chose a target and said in a hypocritical manner: "Chu Chu, you have done a lot of work today. Thank you for your hard work. I will give you the most delicious rabbit front legs as a reward."
Xue Chuchu was worried about Jiang Ning's presence. Besides, she didn't know how to eat, so she refused: "My job is easy, I'm not busy, and you guys have to work hard."
Xue Yuantong: "Hey, Chu Chu, I only did one job, how many did you do, it's your turn!"
Xue Chuchu continued to decline politely.
Xue Yuantong kept being humble, and Jiang Ning saw her hypocrisy.
In order to restore the Xue family's morale, Jiang Ning tore off the rabbit's front legs and put them in his bowl.
Xue Yuantong shut up immediately.
Not only did he shut up, he also pouted.
…
"Sister Shishi, try the grilled mushrooms." Wang Yong handed over a skewer of grilled mushrooms.
Li Shi reluctantly took it, but her thoughts were all on Jiang Ning's roast rabbit.
Women are very obsessed with eating. Li Shi reluctantly took a bite of the roasted mushroom. The burnt aroma of cumin powder melted in her mouth, followed by the ultimate deliciousness. The aroma exploded in the air. It was so delicious that Li Shi couldn't believe it.
She didn't care to chew carefully, finished the roasted mushrooms in two bites, and couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any more?"
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, feeling that her reaction was a bit intense, so he immediately replied: "Yes, I will bake it for you now."
After Lin Zida saw it, he also took a skewer of grilled mushrooms and finished them in a few bites.
Zhuang Jianhui asked: "Is it delicious?"
Lin Zida looked normal: "Just so so."
Zhuang Jianhui: "Then I won't eat it."
Li Shi saw Lin Zida's plan, and because of her admiration and admiration for Zhuang Jianhui, she didn't tell the truth.
The small mushrooms were quickly shared by several people and were not enough to eat at all.
Fortunately, these are the ingredients of the farmhouse. Li Shi secretly thought: "With roasted mushrooms, Jiang Ning didn't win this time."
As soon as she thought about this, Li Shi shouted: "Boss Yang!"
Yang Fei ran out of the farmhouse: "What's wrong?"
Li Shi: “Are there any more mushrooms?”
Yang Fei looked troubled.
Li Shi asked: "What's wrong?"
Yang Fei told the truth: "The mushrooms were given by my neighbor."
