The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 132 BBQ
In mid-April, Zhao Wensheng came back from Jiangzhou and brought back a lot of peppers, which made Yao Yu very happy. While the peppers were still fresh, Yao Yu made some of them into chopped peppers, and some of them dried in the sun. Some are kept fresh in the cellar.

"Okay!" Yao Yu didn't expect this. It would take a lot of manpower and financial resources to transport peppers from Shuangshui Village, so it would be better to save the money and find a field outside the capital.

"It just so happens that I will take a rest tomorrow, and then I will go to the suburbs to have a look." Xie Zhimo said.

"Okay." Yao Yu gave the silver tael to Xie Zhimo. Xie Zhimo had more experience in farming than her, so she was completely relieved that Xie Zhimo would do this.

Zhao Wensheng told Yao Yu the four recipes. Aunt Wu chose sauerkraut, Wang Fengzhen chose soybean paste, Luo Shi chose chopped pepper, and Yang Lan chose tofu mold.Yao Yu nodded, no matter which one they choose, even if they don't work for Yao Yu in the future, they can still have skills and survive here.

It's just that Yao Yu didn't know that the four recipes she had distributed this time made Aunt Wu and the others firm in their attitude of working for Yao Yu.Even if Yao Yu is not around, the four of them will manage the store well.

Zhao Wensheng took out another 240 taels of silver, "This is the rent of your shop in Hehua Town. I might as well pay it for ten years in one lump sum, lest I keep forgetting it."

Yao Yu also laughed. The dozens of taels of silver really felt like a lot of money at the beginning, but now it seems that even if Zhao Wensheng doesn’t have the money, it’s okay, let’s not talk about 200 taels, you can buy it with 100 taels Go to her shop, but the money is not too much, Yao Yu still accepted, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Wensheng laughed. He has seen many women, but a woman like Yao Yu is really alone. You say she is generous, and she cares about tens of taels of silver occasionally, but you say she is stingy. She can still go out without blinking a thousand taels of silver, and most importantly, her knowledge seems to always be ahead of everyone.

"Young Master Zhao has done me such a great favor, why don't you stay and have a light meal at night?" Yao Yu said.

Zhao Wensheng sighed, "I would like to stay, but there are still many things to deal with in the capital, so I will remember this meal first, and come back when I am done." Yao Yu sent Zhao Wensheng away, all sighing in his heart Well, the Zhao family is the most powerful in business in Jiangzhou, but now in the capital, they have to work hard to even have a foothold.

Xie Zhimo's work efficiency is indeed very high. In one and a half days, he bought [-] acres of land in Xinzha Village on the outskirts of the capital, and handed it over to the villagers there to plant it. "Xinzha Village has fertile land and a beautiful environment." Xie Zhimo This is how it was evaluated.

Many villages in the capital are the places where the families of officials in the capital place their old family members. Fortunately, Xinzha Village does not have any. It has many advantages. The only disadvantage is that it is a little far away from the capital, but it is okay to have a carriage. , it will be here in half an hour.

Hearing Xie Zhimo's description of Xinzha Village, it seems to be a place where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, which makes Yao Yu want to go.

"I'll take you with me next time." Xie Zhimo said with a smile, "By the way, go and see the field I bought."

"Father, when will you take a rest, I will also rest that day, and I will go too." Nuo'er said hastily.

"Yes, everyone will go then." The last time the whole family went out to play together was at Qingshan Temple, how many years have passed now, and Yao Yu really misses it.

"Okay, let's find a good weather and go out together." Xie Zhimo said.

After Zhao Wensheng and Ma Ze heard the news, they also wanted to be together. Thinking of how lively the crowd was, Xie Zhimo agreed.

Before leaving, Yao Yu went to the blacksmith's shop to make a shelf, and then prepared a lot of raw ingredients and seasonings, and asked Xie Zhimo to grind a lot of bamboo sticks. After deciding to go to Xinzha Village, Yao Yu The first reaction is that Xinzha Village must be a place where you can have a picnic, and the best thing for a picnic is barbecue.

At the agreed time, everyone moved these ingredients to the carriage early in the morning. It was the first time for Xiao Ruirui and Xiaoyouzi to go out after they came to the capital. The smile on their faces never disappeared. Sure enough, there are still more children Coming out to play, Yao Yu decided to take the children out for more activities in the future when he has free time.

Xie Zhimo took this opportunity to teach Nuo'er how to ride a horse. Fortunately, Nuo'er was smart and learned it in a few strokes. Ma Ze was riding a horse and walking aside. Looking at this scene, a look of envy flashed in his eyes. , but Zhao Wensheng exhaled a long breath, "Since I came to the capital last year, I haven't been able to take a good rest. Now that I can relax when I come out, I really feel comfortable all over."

Yao Yu took a look at Zhao Wensheng. Outsiders always saw his good looks, but he had to pay for the family no matter how much honor the family gave him. He didn't like it, and it can only be said that he actually lived a miserable life.

Soon arrived at Xinzha Village, the whole mountain lined with wild flowers all over the mountain was very beautiful, Xiaoyouzi could not wait to climb up the mountain immediately, Xie Zhimo took Yao Yu to see their fields first, it was only a few days, the villagers had already Planted peppers.

Someone saw Xie Zhimo and shouted, "Master."

Xie Zhimo was a little embarrassed, "Just call me by my name." After speaking, Xie Zhimo quickly introduced to everyone, "This is Song Er." The Song family is the second child, so everyone called him Song Er.

Song Er quickly saluted everyone, and then asked, "Is the master's family here today?"

Although Xie Zhimo knew that the scenery in Xinzha Village was beautiful, he didn't know which one was suitable for barbecue. "It's like this. We want to find a place in the wild for lunch."

When you go out to play, you don't want to be disturbed by others. In addition, Xie Zhimo said that if you want to cook your own lunch, it must be close to the water source, so Song Er quickly thought of a place, "I know a good one, it's not far from the foot of the mountain. The place is secluded and close to the river."

"Then Song Er will take us there." Xie Zhimo said.

"Okay." Song Er chose a good place, quiet and close to the water source, and it was convenient to collect firewood. Seeing that Xie Zhimo and the others liked it, Song Er left with a wink.

Several people worked together, Xie Zhimo, Ma Ze, and Zhao Wensheng went to the mountain to collect firewood, Pei'an lit a fire, Aunt Jiang spread all the cloth prepared by Yao Yu on the ground, and let Mr. Ji, Nuoer, Xiao Ruirui and Xiaoyouzi sit On the top, Yao Yu is responsible for taking out all the ingredients and stringing them on bamboo sticks.

After Nuo'er helped Mr. Ji sit down, she took the kettle to fetch water. Seeing that everyone had something to do, Xiao Ruirui asked, "Mom, what can I do?"

"Take out the bowls and chopsticks in the package and set them up." Xiao Ruirui is actually interested in doing things, and Yao Yu will of course arrange for him to do something within his capacity.Xiaoyouzi crawled over to help Xiao Ruirui, this scene looked particularly harmonious.Old man Ji took a breath of fresh air, and once again lamented that his old age could be lived so leisurely and leisurely.

Yao Yu laid out the seasonings one by one, then added the iron frame, and Xiao Ruirui and Xiao Youzi surrounded her. Little Youzi didn't talk much now, she stared at the iron frame with wide eyes, and said, "Mom, delicious."

"Well, are you hungry?" Yao Yu asked.

Little Yuzu nodded, "I'm hungry."

"Little greedy cat." Xiao Ruirui said.

"Brother isn't hungry?" Little Yuzi asked back.

Xiao Ruirui blushed and turned her face to one side. Seeing that her two younger siblings started bickering again, Nuo'er couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, you surround mother so tightly, let mother make delicious food ?”

When the two children heard this, they quickly moved away, Yao Yu let out a sigh of relief, this barbecue is really different from other foods, if the food is fried on the two children, it will not be fun.

The three of Xie Zhimo came down from the mountain and smelled the fragrance. The three quickened their pace and rushed down the mountain. Yao Yu's first batch of grilled meat skewers were all cooked, and they were divided up as soon as they were cooked. Yao Yu only took one skewer. After tasting the taste, the meat is fresh and tender, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious.

Aunt Jiang said from the side, "Madam, go and rest, I will bake here."

"It's okay, let's roast together faster." Yao Yu said, everyone was a little hungry when it was time for dinner, and after grilling the skewers, Yao Yu grilled another twenty skewers of chicken wings.

While grilling the chicken wings, Yao Yu took out two eggplants, cut them in half, cut the eggplants, added garlic and oil, and grilled them on the rack, while Aunt Jiang continued to grill the skewers.Chicken wings were originally two skewers per person, Yao Yu only took one of the skewers, and gave the rest to Xie Zhimo.The eggplants were finally coated with a layer of oil, and they were edible. The two large eggplants were eaten by everyone as soon as they were placed on a plate.

Seeing that there were not enough meat skewers, Aunt Jiang quickly started skewering meat skewers. Seeing that everyone had eaten something and Yao Yu hadn't eaten, Aunt Jiang also came over to help skewer meat skewers.Yao Yu put the skewered peppers, cucumbers, lotus root slices, steamed buns and steamed buns on it and roasted them, while planning to roast two more eggplants, she tasted them just now, and the eggplants tasted good, and she actually baked them into scallops smell.

"Next time we come out, let's make two shelves." Yao Yu obviously underestimated the fighting power of the crowd, but he didn't expect that the grilled food could not keep up with the speed of eating.

Zhao Wensheng said, "Two are not enough, the main reason is that Mrs. Yao's craftsmanship is too good."

Ma Ze nodded, this is one of the reasons why Xie Zhimo agreed to the invitation as soon as he invited him. He was used to Yao Yu's cooking, and eating other people's cooking, he always felt that he couldn't swallow.

Another round of food was cooked, Yao Yu asked, "What do you want to eat next?"

Xiao Ruirui was not polite, "I want to eat meat skewers."

Xiaoyouzi pointed at the eggplant and said, "This, I want to eat this."

The rest are not picky, "I will eat whatever you bake."

Xie Zhimo put the meat basin in front of Ma Ze and Zhao Wensheng, "Let's skewer the meat first."

With a few more labors, Yao Yu's side became much more relaxed, and Aunt Jiang continued to bake, adding firewood one after another, and drank several pots of leaf tea cooked by Pei An in a short while, Yao Yu told Xie Zhimo I set up a small stove and cooked some white rice porridge. She put in too much barbecue seasoning. If I eat too much, I am afraid of stomach discomfort. A bowl of light white rice porridge can relieve everyone's stomach discomfort.
