Chapter 55 The First Barbecue Dinner at Bridgehead Bay
"Come on, Liangzi, I'm going to give you the most difficult task: spin these four rabbits properly."
"Xiao Feng, take a net and catch a few fish, preferably bream or crucian carp, about half a pound to two pounds."
"Longzi, go to the bay and look for garlic. If anyone has garlic, borrow a few pounds and buy some to return later."
"You two definitely have work to do too. Come on, I'll teach you how to skewer meat. We'll also need to skewer vegetables later. Whether we have enough to eat tonight depends on you two."
Lin Chuan glanced sideways: "I... I'm in charge. You disagree?"
This first-ever barbecue dinner in Qiaotouwan was carried out steadily by a group of friends.
Lin Chuan was in charge, but he wasn't idle either.
After picking the vegetables, he washed and chopped them, taught the two girls how to dress them, and praised them a few times, making the two girls feel so flattered that they were willing to work for him illegally.
Wang Liang was given instructions on controlling the heat, and Lin Feng was helped to catch fish. The amount of ingredients on the two tables in the yard had visibly increased.
"Alright, that's about enough. Add more if needed. Take a break, everyone."
We'll start roasting the rabbits once everyone's here. Right now, we're just roasting the rabbits first. They take a long time to cook, so we need to start preparing them in advance.
"Chuanzi, I can understand your grilled meat, but how are you going to eat this grilled vegetable?"
Forgive them, this is a godforsaken place; not only are there no cold dishes, but they've never even seen barbecue before.
I've seen martial arts heroes grilling meat and fish on TV, but I've never seen one grill vegetables.
Lin Chuan tossed a bottle of beverage to Wang Liang:
"Why are you talking so much? Just wait and eat."
The group sat in the courtyard chatting. Wang Long had already borrowed the garlic. They didn't have much of this kind of garlic, so he only borrowed two jin (1 kg), which he was chopping under Lin Chuan's direction.
"Chuanzi, you're just grilling something, why do you need garlic? It makes me run around everywhere. If it doesn't taste good, you'll see what I do to you."
"Ha, you weakling, you think you can beat me?"
Lin Chuan scoffed, walked over, picked up a clove of garlic, and tossed it into his mouth amidst Wang Long's horrified gaze.
As Lin Chuan's number one warrior, Lin Xue wanted to eat whatever Lin Chuan ate, so she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
"Ptooey, bro, what are you eating? It tastes awful, ptooey!"
Lin Chuan looked at this gluttonous girl speechlessly. How could she dare to eat anything? Raw garlic tastes much better than houttuynia cordata.
He handed her a drink so she could rinse her mouth, and then nudged Wang Yan, who was eager to try.
Even though she knew it didn't taste good, this girl still wanted to try it after seeing her friend eat it.
"Oh, what a big fuss you've made, Xiao Chuan. What good idea do you have up your sleeve this time?"
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Mei."
Lin Chuan pulled up two chairs and handed over two bottles of drinks.
After returning from Liu Donghe's house, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative again and bought all the drinks inside. He also inquired about whether the supply and marketing cooperative was going to close down.
But the woman at the supply and marketing cooperative was just going through the motions and knew nothing about it. It would be more reliable to ask Liu Jianshe and Li Jianguo about this.
A little while later, Zhao Chunlan and her mother returned, and the barbecue officially began.
"Xiao Chuan, what kind of way are you eating this? You can roast eggplant and corn?"
"Yes, Aunt Lan, this is called barbecue. It's a way of eating it in other places. My classmate has a cookbook, and I learned how to make it from there."
"Will it taste good this way?"
"You'll see when you try it. We've grilled it ourselves, and it tastes pretty good."
These words were obviously nonsense, but they couldn't confirm that they were true.
When it comes to actually grilling, Lin Chuan has to do it himself. He used to have a friend who worked in the barbecue business, and he would occasionally help out when he was too busy.
The technique doesn't have to be great, as long as it's edible, since barbecue is mostly about the atmosphere. As long as the food is cooked through and the seasoning is done correctly, the taste won't be too bad.
The fennel powder and Sichuan peppercorn powder used for seasoning were all roasted and ground by Lin Chuan himself. He also ground some sesame seeds and peanuts, which would make the meat skewers even more fragrant.
The rabbit had already been brushed with oil twice, and its skin was bubbling with oil. Lin Chuan used a knife to cut open the thicker parts of the meat, brushed on the oil a third time, and took the opportunity to sprinkle on a layer of seasoning.
He moved to the right side where the fire was smaller, turning around occasionally, and began to focus on the eggplant and meat skewers in front of him.
Four cold dishes were laid out on the table: pig's head meat, pork intestines, cucumber, and salted peanuts.
Lin Chuan told them to eat first, but no one touched their food. Even the two little ones wouldn't touch their chopsticks until the adults had started.
They just kept urging Lin Chuan to hurry up with their eyes.
"Okay, you can eat now."
Lin Chuan's grilling net was long enough to grill a lot at once. He took the grilled skewers to the table covered with paulownia leaves and gestured for everyone to eat first.
"You haven't finished cooking yet, how can we eat first? Let's wait until you've finished baking and then eat together."
"Aunt Mei, barbecue should be eaten hot; it doesn't taste good when it's cold."
As he spoke, Lin Chuan picked up a few skewers of grilled meat and stuffed them into the hands of the two girls. He also took a skewer for himself and returned to the grill.
The two girls didn't care about any of that. They had been drooling over the smell for ages. Lin Chuan had even handed them the meat, and they immediately started biting into it.
"Hey, eat sideways, don't poke your mouth."
"Mmm, bro, this is delicious."
"Everyone, start eating. Xiao Chuan can eat later."
Mom called everyone over, and everyone was actually craving it. The irresistible aroma of the barbecue was simply irresistible, constantly wafting into our noses.
One by one, following their mother's instructions, they started putting the food into their mouths.
Some people might not like cold dishes, but it seems like no one dislikes barbecue.
It was the first time for everyone to try it, and there was no comparison. Linchuan brand barbecue received unanimous praise.
Fortunately, the four rabbits quickly became familiar with the food, otherwise Lin Chuan felt he couldn't keep up with their eating speed.
He himself was also busy eating, and the two girls, being very kind, even fed him while he ate.
The cold dishes also received positive reviews, especially the cucumber salad and salted peanuts, which are a perfect match for barbecue.
"Hey, Xiao Chuan, that's a good idea. Teach your Aunt Mei how to make cucumbers that go well with drinks."
"These peanuts are really good; they're great as a snack. How are they made?"
Wang Hu and Zhao Chunlan enjoyed their meal, taking a sip of wine, a bite of cucumber, and a mouthful of peanuts.
Lin Chuan only found out from his mother that Zhao Chunlan had an incredible alcohol tolerance when she got drunk last time. She could easily drink a pound or two of liquor.
Wang Liang's father can't drink alcohol; he gets a rash as soon as he does. When guests come to his house, Zhao Chunlan drinks for them.
She hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, which is why she got drunk last time.
The two asked for the recipe, and Lin Chuan naturally had no problem giving it to them; both families were quite nice.
People still need friends. It would be good to provide a good life for my mom and her family while also helping out these two other families.
They agreed to teach them on a certain day. Seeing that they were eating slowly, Lin Chuan stopped grilling and sat down at the table.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Mei, Aunt Lan, tomorrow someone from the government will come to pick me up for a hunting trip. I want to take Xiaolong and Liangzi with me."
"Go ahead, I don't mind them following you."
Zhao Chunlan: "Yes, you can just go directly to them about this kind of thing. What do we have to worry about?"
Lin Chuan: "It will take several days. I was just letting you know in advance so you wouldn't worry."
"You're all grown up now, what's there to worry about, especially since you're going with Xiaochuan."
Lin Chuan chuckled twice but remained silent.
He had originally intended to mention the potential dangers, but seeing how happy and peaceful they seemed, he decided against it.
I'll remind Lin Feng, Wang Long, and Wang Liang to be careful, as the chances of the three of them encountering danger are extremely small.
There's no need to say it now and cause everyone to worry for days.

A reader named Youming Lieyan has been voting for me continuously, which is so important for a single-player game author. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. If it weren't for the fact that it's so good to keep reading, I would have thought no one was reading it.
There's a user named Aly2015 who keeps pointing out my typos, and I silently correct them every time I see them.
Then something strange happened today. I had a dream that my chapter was censored, a large section of text was deleted, and I didn't receive a private message from the site to notify me.
I only found out about this by reading the comments from other users in the comments section. Seeing the data plummeting, I was immediately jolted awake.
Upon closer inspection, hey, thankfully, it's actually gone up quite a bit, haha.
Kids, turn the page again! You'll see which page you finished reading.
