Chapter 43 A Feast of Roasted Whole Lamb

Students with poor grades have a lot of stationery, at least that's what Liang He thinks, so she often buys kitchenware such as pots, pans and bowls that she can use but doesn't, including of course a barbecue grill for roasting a whole lamb.

Anyway, the new kitchen has a super ventilation system, so there's no need to worry about getting poisoned from using charcoal.

Lamb is very nourishing in winter, but eating only roasted whole lamb can be a bit greasy, so Lianghe plans to use the leftover parts to make lamb soup and stir-fried lamb.

"Liang He, how about you make some lamb skewers? I was so craving them after seeing Huo An eat them last time."

Lamb skewers—that was the first Blue Star delicacy Liang He treated Huo An to after their first meeting.

"Okay, then you guys can help me out?"

Liang He naturally wouldn't refuse this not-too-excessive request.

"Of course!"

"no problem!"

Xu Yi and Hurd are especially enthusiastic when there is good food, and they work extra hard.

Generally, whole roasted lamb is made with suckling lamb, but due to limited resources, Liang He had to make do.

"Originally, roasting a whole lamb requires first boiling spices, dry marinating for forty minutes, and then soaking in water to marinate for at least twelve hours."

However, there wasn't enough time, so Liang He could only make a few more cuts on the mutton to help it marinate as quickly as possible.

She finished the marinating and soaking process as quickly as possible before starting to prepare the other three dishes.

"Could you please prepare the seasonings and cut the meat for me?"

Liang He wrote down the sauces needed for roasting the whole lamb and other ingredients required for the other dishes, and then assigned the tasks to Xu Yi and Hurd.

The large bones left over from the mutton were steamed by Liang He and given to Cedril and his companions as an extra meal.

The three of them were busy chatting, while the beasts stayed by their side the whole time, occasionally helping Liang He get something, their obedience was unbelievable.

"Waaaaah, roast whole lamb! I really want some too! Director, why don't you ask the head chef in the kitchen for permission?"

"Xu Yi and Holder are too cunning! They actually gave Liang He special treatment, that's too much!"

"I should have studied veterinary medicine or something back then. Now I can't even find an excuse to freeload!"

The staff in the control room were practically drooling just looking at the screen.

Especially when Liang He fried the seasonings needed for roasting the whole lamb in the oil until fragrant, then added various seasonings to make a sauce, and brushed it on the marinated lamb, they all thought it must smell delicious even before the roasting started!
"Alright, Holder, tie this sheep to the barbecue grill."

Compared to Xu Yi, who doesn't exercise much, Holder is more reliable for this kind of physical work.

"Alright! Leave it to me, don't worry!"

Holder would never refuse anything related to food.

"What about me? What do I do?"

Xu Yi felt embarrassed to just sit around doing nothing, so he quickly tried to prove himself.

"Hould will need to watch the charcoal fire later, so Dr. Xu will help turn the grill and brush on the oil."

The barbecue grill I bought was manual, so I had to turn the rack with the lamb tied to it myself, otherwise the bottom would burn before the top was cooked.

"it is good!"

After the tasks were assigned, everyone got to work with great enthusiasm and energy.

Liang He first simmered the mutton soup before starting to skewer the mutton.

"Dong dong dong."

Just as they were busy, there was a knock at the door. Liang He, whose hands were covered in oil, could only call for help from Mo Jin Wang Hu and Cang Lan Lie Ying.

"Cedril, Langton, go open the door!"

Mo Jin Wang Hu and Cang Lan Lie Ying, who often 'run away from home,' work together perfectly when it comes to something as simple as opening a door.

"Ouch!"

"Wow!"

Finally having something to do, Tiger and Eagle quickly opened the door for the person, not even bothering to know who was knocking.

"Cedril, Landon, good evening."

Liang He looked up in the direction of the voice and was somewhat surprised to see it was Huo An.

"District Chief Huo, what brings you here?"

Huo An hadn't come since their last private chat, so today was quite unusual.

As soon as he opened the door, Huo An smelled a rich fragrance and immediately smiled.

"I came because of the aroma, and I'd like to freeload a meal, is that alright?" Since it's about freeloading a meal, then work is not the topic.

Liang He was worried that she had cooked too much for dinner, and that the three of them would definitely not be able to finish it. With Huo An joining them, their fighting power was finally boosted a bit.

"Of course, Brother Huo, come in quickly."

One second he was calling him District Chief Huo, the next he was calling him Brother Huo. No wonder he's Station Chief Liang, who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters.

Seeing that Xu Yi and Holder were both busy, Huo An couldn't just sit and wait for the meal to be served, so he had no choice but to help Liang He with her tasks.

As a result, Liang He, who was originally a master chef, had her position taken up by three kitchen novices, and she could only give pointers from the sidelines. However, she still enjoyed the feeling of leisurely directing others.

"It will take more than an hour to roast the whole lamb, let's have something to eat first."

Using the charcoal fire on the barbecue grill, Liang He first grilled the lamb skewers, and then took a jar of homemade fruit wine from the storage room and poured a glass for each of them.

"This fruit wine is delicious! It tastes much better than the nutritional supplements!"

"Is that how you praise it? How can a nutritional supplement compare to Liang He's fruit wine? They're worlds apart!"

Xu Yi and Holder had just taken a sip of fruit wine when they showered Liang He with compliments as if they were free, making Liang He a little embarrassed.

"This is just a small-scale operation. The wine from my hometown tastes much better than this."

Perhaps it was the scene that made her feel homesick, and when talking about Blue Star, Liang He couldn't stop talking.

Huo An and his companions ate lamb skewers and drank lamb soup while listening to Liang He tell stories about Blue Star, with several furry animals lying around them, a picture of peaceful bliss.

"Alright, the whole roasted lamb should be almost done. I'll go check on it!"

Liang He, whose mouth was dry from talking, estimated the time and got up to go see the whole roasted lamb.

The excitement of the long-awaited delicious food being served made Xu Yi and Holder get up quickly to witness its birth.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

As soon as the lid of the barbecue grill was lifted, the unique aroma of roasted whole lamb instantly filled the entire kitchen.

The golden-brown roasted whole lamb had such a crispy skin that every time Liang He made a cut, it made a sizzling sound, making Xu Yi and the others keep swallowing their saliva.

"Hurry, hurry! Let me do it! I can't wait any longer!"

After watching Liang He make a few cuts and realizing he had learned how, Xu Yi immediately took over and, with his excellent knife skills, quickly cut up a small portion of the whole roasted lamb.

"Don't rush, we need to sprinkle some cumin on top."

Seeing that they were already eager to eat with their hands, Liang He quickly stopped them to avoid burning themselves.

The three grown men stood obediently in front of the dining table, eagerly waiting for Liang He to feed them. Even the three beasts were attracted by the aroma.

"Ouch!"

"Meow!"

"Wow!"

They want to eat too!
"Stop shouting, you can't eat it."

There are too many seasonings used in roasting whole lamb, and the fluffy texture is not good for your health. Liang He is not a parent who spoils her child.

"Can we eat now?"

Seeing that Liang He was still scolding the three beasts, Holder was getting impatient.

"Ah? Of course."

Liang He was a little confused by Holder's question, but nodded belatedly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than three hands flew past him in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, only a few scraps remained on the plate.

"what about the taste?"

This was Liang He's first time making roasted whole lamb, and she wasn't really confident.

But the next second, seeing their reaction, she felt much more at ease.

"Delicious! I want more!"

After Holder was the first to jump up from his chair and rush toward the barbecue grill, Xu Yi followed closely behind, and even Huo An waited by with his bowl and chopsticks.

Only after the whole roasted lamb was completely devoured, leaving only bones, and the fruit wine and dishes on the table were all gone, did they rub their bellies, lie sprawled on the ground, and fall into a deep sleep.

At this time, those who were eager to make a move and had ulterior motives also began to act.

"Roar!"
