At this time, the maid following the [young master] timidly stepped forward and said: "My lord, my maid just went to see you, and the kitchen did not prepare dinner!"
Before the firecrackers went off, Xue Yongzhi quickly wiped his sweat and asked Xu He, "Brother Xu, didn't you ask your servants to prepare dinner?"
Xu He nodded and said: "Not yet..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Heng said with a pursed lips: "Hey, why are you, a grown man, so stingy? Why don't you even prepare a meal when I come to your place as a guest? Do you know that... this young master will use it at noon?" I got some snacks, I’m already hungry!”
Xu He spread his hands and said, "Those who are invited are guests. What do you call those who come uninvited?"
"You..." Lu Heng was trembling with anger, but there was nothing he could do against Xu He.
Firstly, because Xu He had a sharp tongue and he couldn't defeat him. Secondly, he really had to come because he got on the pole. What they said was right.
Therefore, Lu Heng had no choice but to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard and sulk.
Xu He looked like a child when he saw her like that. Her snow-white and tender face was bulging like a bun because of anger, but her chest was also rising and falling due to anger and heavy breathing. The scale was very majestic!
Um, don't look at anything inappropriate.
Although Gu Hengbo didn't like Lu Heng's attitude towards Xu He, he felt funny in his heart when he saw her acting like this now.
After all, they are all women. She smiled and said to Lu Heng: "Master Xu must have made arrangements, sister, don't worry!"
After saying that, she winked at Xu He and said, "Mr. Xu, what are your plans for tonight? Everyone is hungry!"
"Hmph! If it weren't for Meisheng's sake, I would definitely not tolerate this little girl." Xu He cursed in his heart, but said, "Let's go, we are ready!"
After speaking, he waved his hand and led everyone outside the courtyard.
Although he was having dinner, he led everyone towards the lake. Everyone followed Xu He confused, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
When he arrived at the lake, Lu Heng saw the scene in front of him and said "Wow" like a child who had forgotten everything, and rushed towards the water.
Only then did everyone realize that at some point, something like a pergola had been set up by the lake. It was said to be a pergola, but it was actually a canopy used for camping in later generations. There was a bonfire outside the canopy. Wu Decao was following a few people from the Xu Family Villa. What are the servants busy with?
Seeing Xu He coming, Wu Decao quickly came to Xu He with a branch as if offering a treasure and said: "Two times, you are finally here. It's almost done here. I'm just waiting for you to light the fire!"
Xu He smiled and said, "Brother Yaochen, please!"
It turned out that at this time, the sky was surrounded by fragrant mosquito repellent herbs, and a bonfire was set up outside, which Xu He had prepared for tonight's bonfire camp.
I saw a few servants of the Xu family threading meat skewers on sharpened branches, and more meat skewers were marinated in the pre-prepared sauce.
Seeing this scene, Xue Yongzhi excitedly punched Xu He on the shoulder with his fist: "Brother Xu, it's better for you to be original and interesting!"
Xu He smiled and said to Gu Hengbo who was standing beside him: "Meisheng, I'm afraid you won't eat enough meat and fish, so I prepared some fruits!"
Gu Hengbo did not eat a lot of meat. He looked in the direction of Xu He's finger. Sure enough, a lot of watermelons, grapes, and pears were soaked in the cold lake water. Before eating, he felt that most of the heat was gone.
Seeing Xu He being so attentive, Gu Hengbo felt very sweet, but because many outsiders were present, she suppressed a smile and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao He!"
At this moment, Lu Heng, who was standing in front of the servant looking at the skewered meat, asked, "What's in the juice of this marinated meat? It's so fragrant!"
Xu He said: "Cumin, a common spice in the Western Regions!"
Cumin was introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty, but it was rarely used because of its strong taste. Cumin rarely appeared in the diet of nobles who paid attention to cleansing and nourishing food. It was common for Lu Heng not to know about it.
Lu Heng had been hungry all day, and his mouth watered when he smelled this smell, and he quickly urged people to light the fire.
After a while, the fire was lit. Xu He personally picked some charcoal for the fire, extinguished the open flame, set it up high, and then gave a demonstration to everyone.
"Look, you need to turn it frequently, don't just bake it on one side!"
"Little Marquis, this is not cooked yet, can you wait a moment?"
"Hey, so-and-so, control your saliva and don't get it dirty!"
"Meisheng, just draw some poems on your jade hands, and I'll help you bake them!"
…
After a while, the fragrant barbecue was freshly baked, and everyone had a skewer, which was delicious.
Especially the two little ones, who put the skewers sideways to their mouths. One swipe of the skewers was a big mouthful, and the two little snacks cleaned up the mutton skewers in three or two mouthfuls. After eating, they even yelled together with the older kid Lu Heng. More.
Want more?
Don't want anyone to bake it?
Look at people looking after everyone, covering their mouths with cherries with their sleeves and tasting them carefully. How can they look like those people chewing peonies like cows and ruining the scenery.
At the beginning, Xu He gave a demonstration, and then it was time for everyone to take action.
Among them, it is estimated that except for Xu He who had some barbecue experience in later generations, the others are all masters who can open their mouths with clothes on their hands.
A group of people clumsily turned over the barbecue on the tree branches while staring at it with burning eyes, not to mention taking it seriously, against the backdrop of the bonfire.
When Lu Heng finished eating three large skewers of meat, he patted his belly without any image and said to Xu He with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that you have a mouth that is not forgiving and you have such skills. Not bad!"
Xu He: "..."
After finishing the barbecue, the servants moved a table for everyone to drink tea. Although the Eight Immortals table was quite inconsistent with the scene, few people there knew what a bonfire party should be like, so everyone drank tea contentedly. Not to mention how comfortable it is.
At this time, the sun had just set, the bright bonfire shone on everyone's faces, and the cool wind blew across the lake, sending sparks flying around. All of this was something that men and women living in the city had never experienced before.
Gu Hengbo felt this and recited: "The drizzle and autumn wind obscure the moonlight, and I invite you to go out and sing in the big temple. The camp lamps are bright and shining,
The dusk falls and the birds chirp in the night. The rolling gauze mountains are misty, and the tinkling green water makes the sound of the flute. Wild ducks are playing under the lotus leaves, which is a unique style in the temple. "
Everyone was attracted by this poem. They looked at the dusk in the distance and felt immersed.
But among them, only two little kids couldn't take time off. They didn't have the time to enjoy the scenery. After eating and drinking, Li Sikui pestered Xu He and said, "Brother, it's getting dark, it's time to tell a story! Hurry up and tell the story." Well!"
Well, after eating every day, rest for a while, read a book for a while, and then it’s time for the storytelling session. Today’s situation is special. Xu He hasn’t started speaking yet, which makes the little guy scratch his head and head with anxiety.
When Gu Hengbo heard this, his eyes lit up: "What story is Mr. Xu telling? There is nothing wrong with you, why don't you tell us one?"
Lu Heng's eyes also lit up. She also wanted to urge Xu He, but she could not maintain her identity and felt that she was not on good terms with Xu He, so she rubbed her feet on the beach and listened carefully. movement.
Xue Yongzhi was not interested in the story at all. After a day of tossing, he was already tired, so he stood up and said, "Xiaohe, tell them a story! I'll go boxing twice!"
Hearing this, Lu Heng felt that he was verbose, so he urged him: "Hurry up, don't affect... don't affect my view of the scenery!"
Xue Yongzhi shook his head helplessly and left early.
Seeing this, Xu He led everyone to sit on the ground under the canopy. He turned to Li Sikui and asked, "What story do you want to hear?"
When Li Sikui heard this, he said naturally: "Of course they are the stories you wrote before, senior brother!"
Xu He nodded, then suddenly said in a low tone: "Then let me tell you about "Painted Skin" today!"
