Living in an apartment: Only children make choices.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said.

"No need, we'll take it down in a bit."

"It's too heavy, let us carry it."

Grandpa Zhang nodded with a satisfied look, and was just about to leave...

The next moment, Aunt Zhang gave direct instructions.

"Don't go empty-handed, take the washed vegetables down with you."

After Grandpa Zhang left, Grandma Zhang asked with a smile.

"Son... Zhang Wei."

What were you talking about just now?

Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Me? I just wanted to know who the girl in the photo is."

"Then my uncle introduced us to him."

Aunt Zhang said with a hint of melancholy in her voice.

"Her name is Zhang Huaidong."

"Because her brother was lost in winter, we gave her this name as a way of hoping for her well-being."

"Of course, after she grew up, we also told her what the name meant."

"If she doesn't like it, she can change it."

“After all, she is also my precious daughter, 0.2, not a substitute. And in the end, she is still called Huaidong.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei couldn't help but sigh.

"Auntie, your idea is really..."

"I don't know how to describe it, it's just great!"

Tang Youyou nodded and said.

"Not bad!"

"It's not sexist at all!"

"Unlike my family, where the preference for sons over daughters is extreme!"

Lu Ziqiao turned his head and said.

"Is there?"

"Then why, in my memory, am I always the one who gets beaten up?"

Zeng Xiaoxian teased from the side.

"Ziqiao, hitting him too hard is also a manifestation of male chauvinism!"

Lu Ziqiao stroked his chin and said.

"You idiot..."

"What you said actually makes some sense!"

Chapter 1781 The Secret of Qiqihar BBQ (Please Subscribe!)

At the garage entrance.

The group split into three groups and sat around three charcoal grill pans, eating grilled meat.

Although the term "Qiqihar BBQ" no longer exists, the taste of the grilled meat here doesn't suddenly become better just because it has a new name.

While enjoying the delicious roasted meat, Lin Miaomiao happily praised it.

"Auntie, your cooking is amazing!"

"This is truly the best barbecue I've ever eaten!"

"Are there any tips or tricks you could share?"

Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"Skill?"

"There's no special technique involved. You just mix the meat with seasonings, onions, and other ingredients, let it marinate, and then plate it and grill it."

Hu Yifei said with a smile.

"That's probably the roasting technique!"

Grandpa Zhang said very frankly.

"Actually, there's not much difference in the baking method."

"In the entire Qiqihar, if not every household, at least 80% of the people know how to marinate and roast meat, and it tastes pretty good."

"In Shanghai, people sometimes eat Western food, or Cantonese or Shandong cuisine."

"Here, we eat stir-fries, stews, hot pot, and barbecue, especially barbecue."

"Once you eat a lot of food, you'll know how to grill it yourself."

Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"Actually, it's also possible that the meat here is better."

"We don't know what kind of beef we used, but it smells really good when grilled."

"I've had barbecue in Shanghai, and it felt like it was missing a certain meaty aroma."

Lin Yun nodded and said.

"really!"

"And this dipping sauce is quite delicious too."

"I usually eat plain barbecue without any dipping sauce."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhang, who had already taken a couple of sips of wine and started talking, was about to say a few words.

"Dipping sauce is actually quite important!"

"If the dipping sauce isn't good, even if it's grilled well, it won't taste good."

"This dipping sauce, with its cumin and chili powder, goes without saying, but isn't this crushed peanut delicious?"

Lu Ziqiao nodded and said.

"Hmm, it does smell really good. Is it because of the peanuts, or did they add something else?"

Grandpa Zhang said with a smile.

"They've added something!"

"It also contains some fried soybean crumbs."

"It's not genetically modified soybeans, it's just local, free-range soybeans."

"Adding the stir-fried and ground ingredients in makes it taste especially delicious!"

"But don't add too much, because the crushed soybeans are very fragrant, and if you add too much, it will be too greasy to eat."

Guan Gu suddenly realized.

"So be it, learn as long as you live!"

Upon hearing this voice, Grandpa Zhang seemed to look at Guan Gu Shenqi.

"Young man, didn't you just say something in Japanese?"

Guan Gu Shenqi said with a smile.

"Yes, because I am originally from an island nation."

"My full name is Guan Gu Shenqi, and I come from Yokohama, Japan."

"I was a probationary member of the Communist Party and also served as a trade union representative..."

Upon hearing about the final round, Grandpa Zhang's hostility lessened considerably, and he continued speaking.

"Eat more meat and less vegetables."

"If we get tired of eating it, we can grill some sauerkraut to cleanse our palates."

During meals, casual conversation is inevitable, and Xinling, who often cooks, asked curiously.

"Auntie, I remember that most people in Northeast China pickle sauerkraut, right?"

"So you don't buy bags of pickled cabbage?"

"You probably wouldn't be used to eating things like pickled cabbage with sauerkraut."

Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"No, we'll eat that too."

"The taste is a bit off, but pickled cabbage can only be stored in a cool place."

"If you want to eat it in the summer, you either have to buy it."

"Or you could pickle them in a mineral water bottle and then store them in the refrigerator."

"However, our habits here are a bit different from those in the south. We like to stock up on vegetables, so we never have enough space in the refrigerator."

Chen Meijia spoke up.

"No, there's not enough space for a refrigerator in our apartment either."

"Although we don't stock up on vegetables much, we do stock up on a lot of snacks, cakes, and other things."

Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"It's mainly because there are a lot of you..."

After saying this, Aunt Zhang probably didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so she stopped talking.
