The diners were all acquaintances from the same village, and they didn't pay too much attention to each other. When they got to the place, men, women, old and young all started working together, killing chickens, plucking feathers, cutting meat and skewering them. They were very busy.
Old man Shu was very particular about ostentation. In addition to the local seafood, he also bought a small lamb and half a fat pig. The parts that could be grilled were picked out for barbecue, and the parts that couldn't be grilled were chopped into pieces and stewed.
In addition, Mrs. Shu specially prepared a few of the most popular cold dishes in the store for everyone to try.
Throw the green onion, ginger and aniseed into the pot, simmer for a while, and the aroma of mutton and pork will come out; pour the cold salad sauce and pour hot oil, and the spiciness of the cold dish will hit the sky.
But the most attractive thing is the fragrant barbecue.
Charcoal grilled food is inherently fragrant. If you add some spicy oil, sprinkle some cumin powder, and a little breeze blows, the smell will be unstoppable even to gods!
Old man Tang wiped his saliva, turned around and said to the old man: "Old man, you can't do it!"
"Why can't I do it?" Old Man Shu glared and wanted to hit someone, "In order to let you eat and drink well, I almost emptied my money. Why don't you know how to be satisfied?"
"That's not what I meant." Old Man Tang hooked his shoulder, his face full of envy, "How come you haven't gained any weight in front of so many delicious foods all day long? If I were you, I would gain at least twenty pounds.
!”
Old man Shu wanted to cry when he mentioned this, "Oh, don't mention it. Don't look at how many delicious things there are on this shelf. In fact, I can't eat many of them at all."
Don’t ask, asking is the fault of allergies!
Old Man Tang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of what the village chief secretly said to him that day: "The third child had a miserable life. I passed by his house on business two days ago, and I saw him squatting at the door to eat, talking to his family.
The black dog is head-to-head, and everyone else is eating in the main room.
Tell me, what is his family status?"
Looking back at that time and looking at it today, what else do you not understand?
Old Man Tang patted his shoulder with great sympathy and silently swallowed the sarcastic words, "Old man, it's not easy for you. If you want to eat anything tonight, just tell me and I will help you get it."
Old man Shu was very happy that his rival could suddenly speak human language, "What's hard for me? You are a guest today, it's my turn to take care of you. Go and sit over there first. The skewers will be grilled later. I
I’ll give you a few skewers to satisfy your cravings.”
Old Man Tang patted his shoulder again, shook his head and left. As a man, he knows how to save face!
Soon, the first batch of squid skewers was almost cooked. As soon as Shu Mingren hurriedly put the skewers on the tray, the next moment they were all snatched up by the little radish dices waiting in line at the table to feed them.
Although Yan Yan was small, she was very agile. She used both her left and right hands to catch four skewers at once.
“Grandma, it’s time to eat grilled squid!”
The little dumpling got the good stuff and immediately ran to the kitchen happily, but halfway there, he was suddenly blocked by a little black claw.
The owner of Little Black Claw is a five or six-year-old boy. The boy is quite good-looking, with an oval face, big eyes, a straight nose, and a red mouth, but he doesn't seem very smart.
There were several black marks on his face, the bun on his head was crooked, and a few strands of messy hair hung in front of his forehead, like a little wild cat living on the street.
Xiaotuanzi looked at him and realized that he didn't know this wild boy at all, so he stepped back warily, "What do you want to do?"
The boy looked longingly at the kebab in her hand and swallowed in frustration, "I want to eat this. My father is rich, and he will give you money when he comes."
Afraid that Xiaotuanzi would disagree, he deliberately added: "My father has a lot of money, so you can set whatever price you want."
Xiaotuanzi looked around, "Where's your dad? I didn't see anyone else."
The boy continued to swallow, "My father was moving and was very busy, so I ran out secretly."
Xiaotuanzi looked at his calico face and didn't believe this argument at all, "Don't lie to me, you don't look like a rich man."
The boy who was questioned calmly took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck skillfully and handed it forward, "Can I exchange this jade pendant for you?"
Xiaotuanzi took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The color of the pendant was extremely pure, like a newly pulled out willow leaf, shining in the sunset. It was very beautiful.
"I like this!" Xiaotuanzi's eyes lit up, and he generously handed him two skewers of grilled squid, "Here, let's change them!"
The boy happily took the squid skewers, first put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it a few times, then took the skewer and stuffed it into his mouth with a face of intoxication. But it seemed like it was his first time to eat this, and he bit a squid leg after a long time of gesticulation.
Pointy.
Xiaotuanzi pulled down his sleeves and said, "Idiot, this is not how you eat barbecue. You have to be like me..."
As she spoke, she bit the end of the squid skewer, brought her upper and lower teeth together, and the hand holding the skewer slipped, and the entire skewer of squid meat went into her mouth.
The boy nodded while watching, his eyes widened, and he looked like "I have learned a lot." Then he followed the example and smoothly picked up a whole bunch of fragrant squid meat.
"Okay, delicious, sister, your meat is so delicious!"
The boy devoured two skewers of grilled squid, but he still felt that it was not enough. He stared at the mutton skewers on the barbecue grill, and his mouth watered and he couldn't stop the car.
Xiaotuanzi understood him very well, "Do you want to eat again? Do you have any beautiful things? I will change them for you."
The boy searched all over his body, and finally shook his head in frustration, "No more, only that one."
"Forget it, I'll give you another skewer." Xiaotuanzi handed him the mutton skewers in his hand.
But the boy was very brave, so he refused to accept the offer. He grabbed his clothes and said, "How about I use my clothes to exchange for it? Last time I didn't get any money to buy steamed buns, so my boss asked me to trade my clothes for two big steamed buns."
"Exchange with clothes?" Xiaotuanzi reached out and touched his sleeves. Don't tell me, the green clothes don't look very good, but they feel quite smooth. Judging from the size, the second brother is wearing them just right.
Xiaotuanzi nodded, "Okay, I'll change with you. The clothes are a bit too big. Can I give you five skewers of meat?"
"Okay!" The boy rubbed his hands excitedly and took off his robe smoothly. After taking it off, he looked at the beautiful boots on his feet and said, "How about I give you the shoes too? New shoes, my mother."
I just bought it, please give me two more skewers."
"Five skewers plus two skewers..." Yan Yan counted on her fingers, "There are seven skewers in total. Do you want all the mutton skewers, or wait a little longer and try the pork skewers, shrimp skewers, fish skewers..."
The boy almost stopped drooling, "Wait, I'll wait! I want to eat all those skewers you mentioned!"
When Yun Yi led his wife to the Shu family restaurant, what appeared in front of them was this scene: a group of people were gathering in front of the barbecue grill to share skewers, and his silly son was wearing single clothes and bare feet.
Sitting on the threshold and licking the sign.
"Little prodigal son, did you trade clothes for food again? Are you wearing those clothes and getting your skin burned?"
Yun Yi got angry, grabbed the feather duster and rushed over.
