Xu Rongrong said with a smile. Seeing everyone's expressions of confusion, she couldn't help but laugh.
Although barbecue is a popular food for many young people nowadays, it is really a pleasant thing in life to ask a few friends to go to the barbecue stall downstairs to eat some barbecue and drink some beer at night.
However, this is only the favorite food of the people at the grassroots level. The Zhan family is one of the major families in City A. Commander Zhan is also a famous military commander. Zhan Yiyang is also a military commander. To put it bluntly, the Zhan family
They are people in upper class society.
Rich, powerful, and lacking in everything. Red wine and steak every day, medium rare.
This kind of family is a noble family, a rich person in the eyes of the people at the bottom. Red wine and steak are a common meal, but the most common barbecue and snacks are delicacies that they have no access to.
So when Xu Rongrong mentioned barbecue, except for Bai Yi, who had suffered a lot with his mother, everyone else was a little stunned.
Roast mutton is the most common barbecue food known to the people at the bottom. However, smart humans do not want to be bound by mutton, so they smartly developed roasted chicken legs, roasted chicken wings, roasted chicken hearts, roasted pig intestines, roasted...
Anyway, as long as it is edible and does not react with fire, they can roast it and eat it.
And Xu Rongrong only learned about barbecue because his classmates took him to eat several times in college.
For the next ten years or so, she lived in the Zhan family.
When she first married into the Zhan family, Xu Rongrong, a commoner girl, was a little scared. She was afraid that she would not be able to reach high places, so she tried not to reveal her preferences and living habits, but instead cooperated with the Zhan family's living habits in everything.
After that, there were all kinds of sadness and heartbreak, and it was not until three years ago that she lived a quiet life.
But it's quiet, but it's also too quiet. There are only three people living in the villa every day. Tianning and Zhan Yiyang are quiet, and there is almost no popularity in the villa.
And barbecue is all about being lively. There are two people in a family of three who like to be quiet, so how can we have a lively meal?
So during this trip, Xu Rongrong never thought about barbecue.
Nowadays, it is a rare time for a family of more than a dozen to get together. Zhan Yiyang took the initiative to propose a picnic. Xu Rongrong thought of the barbecue he had had in college, which was the most suitable.
Travel, travel, and tourism have different meanings.
Traveling is mainly about seeing the scenery, eating delicious food, and appreciating the local cultural scenery.
Traveling, on the other hand, is for relaxation. The whole family is happy just to relax and have fun or something.
Most people choose to cook their own meals, so that they feel more like traveling. Traveling is about eating local food, which is different.
The so-called cooking by yourself is just a change of environment and a different cooking method, but the taste of the cooked food is still there. In this case, it is better to simply change the way of eating, without cooking, just barbecue.
And barbecue is also simple, just bring clean food charcoal fire and tongs. When you get to the place, find some dry leaves, put the iron box down, use the dead leaves to light the charcoal fire, put the tongs on top, and wait for the tongs to be sterilized by the fire.
, you can put the food on it and bake it.
So as soon as Xu Rongrong's suggestion came out, it was immediately praised by everyone.
"This is good. When I was in the army, I heard a female soldier say that before she joined the army, she liked to have barbecue with her friends. I wanted to go to that time, but I never had the chance, not to mention that my father strictly prohibited us from going to that kind of place. Now.
My sister-in-law can cook barbecue, so that's great." Although Zhan Yilin lost her mother at a young age, Commander Zhan still had strict control over her.
At the very least, she is absolutely not allowed to go to the street barbecue stalls where gangsters often appear.
Therefore, poor Zhan Yilin has never had barbecue once in her entire life.
Precisely because of this, she was very, very interested in Xu Rongrong's proposal for a barbecue outing.
The second most supportive person is Bai Yi.
Unlike Zhan Yilin, Bai Yi has eaten barbecue. Although he is young, there is a barbecue stall downstairs. Sometimes Bai Yi's mother will buy some barbecue for him when she doesn't want to cook.
Since entering the Zhan family, Bai Yi has deeply felt the nobility of the upper class, and those steaks and red wine will gradually become the main theme of his life, so he clearly knows that those habits belonging to the common people must be eradicated.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't miss barbecue.
Although barbecue is very unnutritious and even slightly unhygienic, its taste is still fascinating to many people and they cannot help but fall in love with it.
So as soon as Xu Rongrong made the proposal, he immediately responded.
"Mom, the barbecue is delicious." He blinked and looked at Xu Rongrong, with a faint expectation in his dark pupils.
Xu Rongrong looked at him and smiled lightly, then turned his head and glanced at Commander Zhan, Zhan Yiyang, and Liang Shuxian.
Liang Shuxian had suffered a lot when she was forced to separate from Commander Zhan, so she naturally knew how to barbecue, so she was the third one to respond, "I'm probably tired of always eating food from home. I should have a barbecue once in a while."
It’s not bad. Improve your appetite. The most important thing is that you like it.”
She smiled lightly, with a trace of unnoticeable nostalgia in her eyes.
In those days of trouble, although she lived at the bottom of society, she had the most beautiful youth at that time, and she had the right to have children...
It would be great if Commander Zhan could find her earlier.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, just like if Zhan's mother had not died, she still would not have become the mistress of the Zhan family.
So, no ifs, great.
The commander on the side kept his head down and said nothing. His father and grandfather were both soldiers, and he had lived the life of a small noble all his life. Although he knew that civilians lived a hard life, he had never really experienced that kind of life.
Therefore, he still has a little expectation in his heart.
As for Zhan Yiyang, no matter whether he really likes barbecue in his heart or not, as long as it is proposed by Xu Rongrong, he will definitely consider it seriously and agree.
So he thought about it and thought it would be good to occasionally improve the taste, so he nodded, "Then let's change this outing into a barbecue party."
Hearing Zhan Yiyang's nod, Xu Rongrong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slowly, "Then this event is decided. Tomorrow morning, Sister-in-law Li and I will go shopping for fresh barbecue ingredients. Let's prepare to leave at ten o'clock."
"Okay." Zhan Yilin nodded happily, "Where are we going and how long will we stay?"
"Where to go... There is a tributary of the Yellow River in the northernmost part of City A. The scenery there is pretty good. The grass is lush and green this season, and there are sparse people nearby. I think it should be a good place to travel. What do you think?"
Xu Rongrong thought for a moment and told the scenic spots he saw on the way back to City A from City S.
At that time, when she saw the scenery of that place while sitting in the car window, she thought it was so beautiful and suitable for a picnic. Now Zhan Yiyang's travel proposal has fulfilled her wish.
"Rongrong, just make your decision." Xu Rongrong had just finished speaking. The person who spoke next was not the always excited Zhan Yilin, but the silent Commander Zhan.
He raised his head and looked at the somewhat astonished Xu Rongrong with a smile, "I still remember the place you mentioned. It was the place where I used to sketch when I was young."
As he spoke, Commander Zhan closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be lost in memories of Myanmar.
Xu Rongrong was stunned, obviously she didn't expect that place to be related to Commander Zhan, but she was relieved when she thought that Commander Zhan was a native of City A.
Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Dad, let's decide on that place."
"Yes." Commander Zhan, who was still immersed in memories, nodded and said no more.
Xu Rongrong spread his hands helplessly and sat down to continue eating.
At this time, this sumptuous dinner was coming to an end. The originally full plate was not a mess, but it was mostly swept away.
Especially some of the more delicious sweet and sour dishes, such as spicy and sour hairtail fish and sweet and sour tenderloin, the plates were always empty.
Children like to eat sweet food. Not only Bai Yi and Tian Ning liked it, but Dongdong and Xixi also ate several pieces of tenderloin. What's more, there is also a sister-in-law Zhan Yi who loves sweet and sour dishes.
Lin, so Xu Rongrong was not surprised at all when he saw the empty plate.
After reluctantly eating some more rice and a few relatively light side dishes, Xu Rongrong put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Are you full? When you're full, pack up your things." Liang Shuxian is old and doesn't eat much, so she put down her bowls and chopsticks long ago.
Now seeing the children putting down their bowls and chopsticks, she asked with a smile, "Would you like some fruit to clear your mouth?"
"Madam, the young lady has already prepared it." At this time, Mrs. Li, who had fed Dongdong and Xixi and was putting them into the stroller, said with a smile.
"What delicious food are you preparing?" Bai Yi also smiled and joined in the fun. He was always a cheerful child, but now that he has the opportunity to get closer to the people in his old house, he will never let go of this opportunity.
"It's dragon fruit and some oranges. I'll bring it to you right now." Mrs. Li turned around and went to the kitchen to bring a few plates of washed and cut dragon fruit and oranges.
Oranges are okay, just cut them into small pieces like watermelon.
Dragon fruit is a bit troublesome. You have to cut it into small pieces first, and then prepare a small cup of salad dressing next to it. If someone likes it, you can mix it with it and eat it directly.
"Come on, come on, let's eat some fruit." Xu Rongrong greeted everyone with a smile. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, this is what she must do.
Zhan Yilin was not polite to her, picked up a few pieces of orange and stuffed them into Tianning and Bai Yi's hands, and then began to eat them gracefully.
Zhan Yiyang and Xu Rongrong looked at each other and took a few bites of fruit.
Those dishes just now were a bit greasy, so it would be good to eat some fruits to clear your mouth and stomach.
At this time, Dongdong and Xixi also shouted, "Mom, Guoguo..."
