After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Qin Yao looked at the Song Zhang family who were expecting to be told, "I have a hatchet at home. Can you let the two guards go to the back mountain to chop two bamboos?"

The second son of the Song family immediately stood up and said, "Village Chief Qin, let's take them there!"

Qin Yao nodded, gave the hatchet to several people, pointed out the location, and asked them to chop the bamboo back, "Remember to trim the branches, just the bamboo poles."

The Song brothers agreed twice in succession. There was no such opportunity to act wild in the city, so they picked up their hatchets and rushed into the bamboo forest happily.

"What about us?" Mrs. Song asked curiously.

Qin Yao invited the two of them and Miss Song into the main room, "Let's sit down and have a cup of tea first. It will be our turn after they finish the bamboo and mutton."

As he said this, he blinked at the slightly disappointed Miss Song, "We will be doing delicate work in a while, and we need to restore our physical strength to its best condition first."

Miss Song raised her eyes in surprise and received Qin Yao's affirmative smile. The disappointment disappeared in her eyes, and she was instantly full of expectations for the delicate work she would do next.

"I will do it well!" She assured Qin Yao seriously.

In the space of a cup of tea, the two young masters of the Song family led the guards and carried the bamboo back.

Awang's speed was not limited. In just a short time, the sheep had been killed.

Dalang and Siniang also returned from Lianyuan, saying that Gong Liangliao and Qi Xianguan had promised them to use the viewing platform of Lianyuan and were looking forward to joining the barbecue party.

After the materials and location were settled, Qin Yao asked Dalang and Siniang to go back to the Lotus Courtyard and ask Shitou and the others to prepare the charcoal stove, tables, chairs and benches. Today's barbecue party will be held at the entrance of the Lotus Courtyard.

With such a nice day, of course it’s time to have an outdoor barbecue.

Qin Yao signaled to the Song Zhang couple and Miss Song who were drinking tea that they could start working. She came to the courtyard and motioned for everyone to take the sheep and bamboos to follow her to the Lotus Courtyard.

Song Zhang never expected that there would be such an unexpected gain. When he came, he was still discussing with his sister how to visit Gong Liangxiao, a great scholar, and he was about to meet the real person.

Song Zhang couldn't help but feel excited. He remembered that Liu Ji was also a disciple of Confucianism. He rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to come to Awang and Liu Ji. He joined the sheep-carrying team and first asked the disciples about Confucianism's preferences.

Everyone was holding something in their hands, the children were holding stools and chairs, and Qin Yao was carrying the long table in her room, preparing to use it as a console.

Liu Ji, Awang, Song and Zhang were carrying the slaughtered sheep, and Mrs. Li was also carrying a big pot filled with sheep bones behind her. She planned to make mutton soup for everyone in the kitchen of Lianyuan.

Mrs. Song and Miss Song were afraid that they would look out of place, so they also carried vegetable baskets filled with fresh vegetables.

A large group of people arrived at the Lotus Courtyard. Under the command of Qin Yao, a barbecue venue was set up in a short time.

Shitou and Agu also put out all the movable tables, chairs and benches in the courtyard. Together with those brought by Qin Yao's family, they set up three sets of tables and chairs.

In front of each table, there is a charcoal stove with an iron mesh taken from Qin Yao's oven.

The maids of the Qi family made fragrant tea and put a lot of fruits on the table and pot. At first glance, it looked like a banquet outside.

However, unlike the usual banquets, today's food is prepared by one's own hands, and there is no servant to serve and bring it to the mouth.

In front of the large operating table, everyone rolled up their sleeves and, under Qin Yao's arrangement, worked together to make mutton skewers.

Awang chopped the meat, Liu Ji marinated the meat, Qin Yao and Shitou and other guards were responsible for chopping bamboo sticks, and Song Zhang and his wife and their eldest daughter were responsible for skewering the meat.

As for the four Dalang brothers and sisters, they had already called away Qi Xianguan and the second son of the Song family, and went to play wildly in the mountains.

As the eldest person, Gong Liangxiao didn't have to do any work. He just sat in his wheelchair, drank hot tea, basked in the sun, and looked at the busy crowd in front of him.

This kind of comfort cannot be described in words. Gong Liangxiao just feels that if there is such a day in this life, the people closest to him are around, he is watching, and they are making trouble, then there will be no regrets in death.

The three charcoal stoves were all burning. Qin Yao handed over the work of chopping bamboo sticks to Shitou and others. She washed her hands with water brought from the river, picked up the skewered meat skewers, and began to demonstrate to everyone.

The house always keeps chili, pepper, cumin and other seasonings. Qin Yao also brought two jars of honey stored at home. There are sweet, spicy and numbing, so everyone can satisfy whatever taste they like.

The black goat Song Zhang brought was quite fat, and after the meat was marinated, most of the smell had gone away.

According to Qin Yao's instructions, the Song family skewered some lean meat and some fat meat into skewers. Qin Yao took a handful and put it on the iron net, fanning it with one hand and turning it over with the other hand. Under the strong firepower, the mutton skewers There was a sizzling sound of oil exploding, and the aroma of barbecue rose, causing everyone to swallow their saliva.

It's not over yet. The meat is roasted until it's half-cooked. Qin Yao brushes another layer of honey on it, then continues to bake it until it's seven-cooked, then sprinkles with seasonings, pops a handful of chopped green onions, and puts in the prepared porcelain when it's eight-cooked. On the plate.

"Come and have a try!" Qin Yao waved everyone over. She hadn't barbecued for a long time, but from the smell of the barbecue today, it shouldn't be bad.

"The food baked by the lady herself will definitely be good!" Liu Ji hadn't eaten yet, but the rainbow farts had already come out. He picked up a bunch first and took a deep sniff.

A different aroma from meat than usual penetrates the tip of the nose, easily arousing people's appetite.

Liu Ji opened his mouth in anticipation and took a big bite. The fat and thin meat skewers brought rich layers. Several sweet and spicy flavors burst into his mouth at once, stimulating the taste buds and making people want to take a second bite after one bite.

"How?" Song Zhang asked.

Liu Ji didn't bother to respond to him, and took another big bite of meat skewers. At the same time, he used his free hand to pick up other grilled meats on the plate.

Although it was his first time to eat such kebabs, Liu Ji spontaneously unlocked the best eating posture. He opened his mouth from left to right and took one bite after another. The satisfying chewing sounds from his mouth made the judges around him swallow their saliva. .

Finally, after both skewers of mutton were eaten, Liu Ji dropped the sign and said with a satisfied mouth: "It's delicious! It's so delicious!"

After saying that, he took two more sticks and handed one to Qin Yao. He raised his eyebrows at her proudly and said, "Madam, try what you made yourself. I'm surprised. How can there be someone like you in this world?" A wonderful woman who can excel both in the hall and in the kitchen!"

Another one was handed to Gong Liangxiao like a treasure, "Teacher, please eat it while it's hot. The hotter it gets, the more delicious it will be! This meat skewer is really amazing!"

Gong Liangxiao pretended to be reserved and hummed indifferently. He also took out his handkerchief and pinched the skewer before opening his mouth to eat.

But after the first bite, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

Liu Ji just looked back at Song Zhang and his wife's reaction when they ate the mutton skewers. When he turned around again, all the mutton skewers in the old man's hand were marked.

"Teacher, where's the meat?" Liu Ji asked in shock.

Gong Liangxiao licked the remaining grease at the corner of his mouth and handed him the bare stick, "Go and get five more skewers, ten skewers, ten more skewers!"

Qin Yao, who secretly observed everyone's reactions, raised the corners of her mouth. She knew that no human being could refuse barbecue. (End of chapter)
