The first thing Xiao Nianzhi grilled was naturally the mutton.
BBQ, meat is a feast to enjoy!
While grilling mutton kebabs, she was still thinking, would it be twice as happy if paired with some sparkling water?
She doesn't particularly like drinking, and the occasional fruit wine is okay.
However, she still loves Coke and Sprite!
Who can not love Fat House Happy Water?
In the delicious kitchen, there are two cans of Coke, which are optional for seasonings.
But, you can't take it out.
This thing cannot be explained.
So, how about doing it yourself?
After the pine needles and sugar are sealed, small sparkling water can be produced.
It's not as exciting as Sprite, but it feels good to have a little bit of it.
Pair it with freshly picked watermelon from the summer garden, chill it with ice cubes...
Hiss!
Can't think about it anymore!
Thinking again, she was afraid that she would go up the mountain overnight to pick pine needles!
However, the pine needles are fresh in summer and autumn. If you miss them if you don’t pick them, you will regret it for a year.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi's heart was ready to move.
But the mutton skewers in front of her made a sizzling sound after being roasted by the fierce fire, which slowly brought her back to reality.
Fresh mutton is a bright blood red color. As time goes by and the temperature increases, the color of the meat slowly turns into an attractive burnt color. The aroma is also roasted with the temperature. With the gentle whitening of the charcoal fire, The smoke slowly rose and drifted farther away.
The charcoal at Aunt Yu's Zhuangzi is already very good. It is used by the royal family. It only has a light smoke and is just right for barbecue.
Watching the meat skewers slowly change color, Xiao Nianzhi kept turning and changing directions, taking care of the meat skewers from as many angles as possible, allowing it to enjoy all-round grilling, and then exude a richer meat aroma. .
Of course, how can there be only mutton on the barbecue grill?
Xiao Nianzhi also skewered mushrooms, fried bean skins, tender beans, leeks, potato slices...
However, the space is limited, so you have to take your time.
The heat of the vegetables is light, so you need to turn them over and look after them diligently, otherwise they will be easily burnt and blackened if you are not careful, making them inedible.
Xiao Nianzhi took a good look at both the meat skewers and vegetables. He mainly focused on the mutton skewers, but he also did not ignore the vegetables.
When the charred aroma of the mutton skewers became stronger and stronger, Xiao Nianzhi looked at the heat and saw that it was almost half done, and she sprinkled the first layer of cumin powder on it.
After turning the noodles several times, the scent of cumin was perfectly combined with the mutton skewers. A faint scent of cumin came out of the rising smoke, and Xiao Nianzhi sprinkled it with dogwood powder.
After sprinkling, continue baking.
This is the last minute. After flipping several sides to allow the seasonings to blend better with the mutton, the mutton skewers are ready to come out of the oven!
Xiao Nianzhi sniffed the fragrance in the air, and the spicy smell of dogwood had already begun to waft out.
She turned it over gently, and the fat on the surface of the meat skewers collided fiercely with the fire in the air. The flames rolled up high, intending to swallow up the sizzling fat on the meat skewers. Xiao Nianzhi picked up the meat skewers with quick eyes and hands. It avoids the scorching fire and also avoids the possibility of the meat skewers being burnt.
What she wants is burnt aroma, not burnt black color!
After flipping it twice more on the oven, Xiao Nianzhi placed the six grilled mutton skewers on a plate on the side, and then sprinkled them with dogwood powder.
The residual heat of the fire is still there, so the surface of the meat skewers is still sizzling.
For food lovers, such a sizzling sound is pleasant to the ears, and coupled with the rich aroma in front of the nose, it is the beginning of a gourmet night!
The roasted mushrooms are then sprinkled with a layer of toasted white cooked sesame seeds, and the remaining warmth adds a fragrant chip to the food.
Sister-in-law Guo and her maid sat on one side for a while, feeling dazed by the aroma of mutton.
They can usually eat mutton. Aunt Yu is not stingy, so she can eat mutton once or twice a month.
But...
Different.
They do it differently.
It seems ordinary, but when grilled, it is fragrant to the core.
Not only the mutton skewers, but also the mushrooms on the side are roasted to a tender and delicious appearance, sprinkled with cumin and dogwood powder, and added with a layer of sesame seeds...
It smells so good that it makes me confused!
Sister-in-law Guo felt that her steps were wobbly when she went to deliver the plate to Aunt Yu.
After one portion was baked, Xiao Nianzhi quickly started on the next one.
She didn't do anything wrong to herself. She kept two skewers of mutton skewers and mushroom skewers for herself.
She looked at the roasted leeks and fried bean skins, sprinkled them with white sesame seeds, and asked the maid to bring them to Aunt Yu.
Xiao Nianzhi had prepared barbecue sauce for the leeks and mushrooms in advance and marinated them. After roasting, the strong aroma of the sauce had been incorporated into every inch of their fibers. After the two collided, they were The fire is roasting, and the fragrance is completely stimulated.
The fried bean skin is soaked in water in advance and then marinated in sauce. Now it is sprinkled with a layer of cumin and dogwood powder and a layer of white sesame seeds.
The soft aroma of soy products is firmly locked in, and at the same time, spices such as cumin help bring out a new aroma.
For Xiao Nianzhi, the taste of fried bean curd is still a bit inferior to the local specialty tender bean curd.
However, this is not the case now.
Among the existing ingredients, this one is already very good.
And, when I tasted it, it tasted really good.
Xiao Nianzhi finished eating and took another bite of mushrooms.
The soft and tender mushrooms were pickled and roasted, making Xiao Nianzhi narrow his eyes unconsciously.
She felt that there was no need for pleasure without meat, but with these mushrooms, she could show off twenty skewers! ! !
Sister-in-law Guo and the maid next to her were so greedy that they were drooling. Xiao Nianzhi smiled and divided some between them, and then continued to bake.
Aunt Yu, who was not far away, had never tasted this kind of thing before. Eating on the ground in the open air gave her a sense of uninhibited freedom and freedom.
When she was in the deep palace, what she longed for most was the sky outside. Now that she was free, she felt less and less.
However, facing the smoke in the sky and the plate of delicious food in front of her, Aunt Yu felt that her eyes were a little sore.
Perhaps, what she longed for in the past was not just the free sky outside, but also...
In this world of mortals, there is a truly nostalgic smell of fireworks.
She wants freedom, but she also wants hustle and bustle.
Feeling a little greedy, Aunt Yu shook her head helplessly, picked up a skewer of mutton, and bit into it without caring about her manners.
The meat is soft and tender, and the taste is fragrant.
The combination of the spiciness of dogwood and the fragrance of cumin gives people an ultimate sensory enjoyment.
Aunt Yu calmed down and slowly felt the delicious food.
The dogwood was fragrant and spicy enough, and she hissed slightly from the heat. She seemed to have some emotion slowly brewing in her heart, but the rhythm was disrupted by a loud shout from someone coming.
The other party's voice was full of curiosity and testing: "Auntie, what are you eating? Why does it smell so good? I was about to fall asleep, but I suddenly woke up to the smell!"
