Chapter 81 Barbecue

"Yes, our family is indeed a different family. Think about it, our mother has been bad to her since she was a child, and I am the same. Even you, isn't the stepmother treating you well? We all suffered when we were young, so how could we let the children suffer? Although our family was not very good, these children never suffered any grievances." Xue put on the last few pieces of meat, then put all the wooden sticks together and put them in a large basin.

The meat they wore was not a small bunch of meat like Jinghan's previous life, with a few thin slices of meat on it. Instead, each bunch had to have more than half a pound of meat, and some even had to have seven or eight taels. This was the real meat eating. The rabbits were also marinated with seasonings and put on a few thickest wooden sticks.

When the children came back from the river, Wen Han and Pengcheng carried a wooden barrel, which was full of small fish. It turned out that they used the dock to go to the dock. When Xue saw it, she quickly found a large basin, poured the fish in, and then everyone squeezed the fish together. "Keep these fish for drying the fish. It's getting colder this day. You are not allowed to go into the water to get fish again, do you know?" Xue looked at Wen Han and Jinghan. She knew that these two children in her family were usually the leader.

"Mom, we know, the water will be cold in the future. You can't go into the water, otherwise it will cause problems." Wen Han quickly promised.

Xue looked at Jinghan, but didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Jinghan understood that Mother wanted her a guarantee. The eldest brother and the second brother would go back to the town in a few days. All the children in the family listened to their own. "Mom, don't worry, we won't go into the water anymore. Jinghan knows the importance of it." Jinghan quickly expressed his opinion.

Xue nodded and said, "It's not too late. Wenhan, hurry up and find a place to bring some firewood to the fire first. After a while, we will light the fire and then barbecue. I will stir-fry two more dishes and stew some rice. I can't just eat barbecue, as it's not full."

"Oh, let's go now." Wen Han agreed and quickly led these people to gather the fire. They placed firewood in the openest part of the yard, and then found some hay to attract the fire. Wen Han took the flint and lit the fire, and then slowly the entire fire started.

It just so happened that the old man and Zhixin and the others also came back from the ginseng field. Everyone was holding skewers and grilling on the fire. Zhixin was afraid that the girls would be too close to the fire and would feel uncomfortable, so he took a few more wooden sticks and asked Jingxian and the others to come into the house to help, just let the boys do it here.

Jinghan and the others went into the kitchen and saw that Xue and Zhu had already cooked a few dishes and the rice was ready. So the dishes and those who served the dishes, took the dishes and chopsticks, and everyone started to work hard outside. This meal was eaten outside tonight. When Jinghan and the others put all the food on the table, the meat here was almost roasted. The smell of barbecue was floating in the air, which made people smell it, and they couldn't help but move their index fingers.

"Okay, the meat is almost grilled, let's start eating." The old man said. "Wenchang, go and bring some wine for grandpa. Today, grandpa wants to drink two cups of meat. How can you not drink two cups of meat?" The old man became addicted to alcohol and wanted to drink some.

Wenchang hurried to get the wine. After hearing this, Jingwan quickly went into the house to get the wine glass and put it in front of the old man. The other two cups were also placed, which were left for Zhixin and Zhiming.

Chen quickly called Yue Pengcheng over to eat. Yue Pengcheng was holding two skewers of meat in his hand and was grilling. The meat was cooked and the aroma was so savory that it made people salivate. Pengcheng walked over with the two skewers of meat in his hand and gave the old man and Chen a skewer, "Grandpa, grandma, come and try the meat I roasted."

"You keep it for yourself, you see, aren't there any roasted meat from Wenhan's father here? It's the same." The old man didn't want it, holding the cooked meat skewers from Zhixin in his hand. "Child, keep it for yourself to eat it. Today there is meat, so how do you like it, just eat it like this."

When Pengcheng saw this, he didn't give in and picked up a bunch of meat and ate it. The meat was marinated and roasted on a good temperature. When he ate it, it was really fresh and fragrant. Pengcheng nodded while eating it, "It's delicious, it's so good."

Of course, the children went to eat meat first. Who would go to eat if they had meat? Of course, adults could not be like children, so they each served a bowl of rice. While eating this meal, they looked at the children in the yard. The firelight reflected on their faces, making their faces flushed, and their faces filled with happy and satisfied smiles. "If we can eat as much meat as we want in the future, we can eat whatever we want, how great it would be." The old man sighed.

"Dad, don't worry, there will be such a day. Let's work hard and live that kind of life sooner or later." Zhixin said from the side.

"Okay, just for your words, we have to drink one. Come on, the eldest and third brothers, let's drink. If there is wine and meat, it's like this." The old man raised his glass and drank it all. Zhixin and Zhiming also drank the wine in the glass, and the three of us started drinking. Since Zhixin and Zhiming had to walk around the night, the two of us didn't dare to drink too much. After drinking three or four cups, they stopped drinking.

Chen and his two daughters-in-law didn't drink alcohol, but just ate some rice. Then Xue also went to barbecue and handed Chen a skewer after grilling. "Mom, let's try the taste of this barbecue too. It's so satisfying to eat meat like this."

The meat skewers have to be 3 or 4 taels deep when they are cooked. Where can the children eat as much? It’s almost the same for two skewers per person. Jinghan ate two skewers, then he touched his belly and didn’t dare to eat any more. The boys could eat more, but only three or four skewers, and it wouldn’t work if they were more. When Jinghan saw that everyone had eaten a little more, he suggested dancing together, so that they could still digest it.

So the children danced around the fire. There was no music, they clapped their hands and danced to the fullest. When the children were tired of dancing, they sat down and rested, ate something, and then got up to dance. In this way, they ate a meal from the beginning of You to the beginning of Xu. In fact, they didn’t eat much, so they just went to play.

The fire was almost over, only red charcoal was left. The old man drank a little more, so he went back to the house to sleep. Zhixin and Zhiming didn't drink much, and like normal people, they also went to the ginseng field for a walk, and then went back to the house to sleep.

Chen and Xue and Zhu clutch packed up all the things on the table. Today, they wore more than fifty skewers of meat, and two rabbits, but they didn't expect to eat them all. Chen looked at the wooden sticks in this big bundle and couldn't help but shake his head, and then smiled again.

The children were all tired of dancing, and they were almost digesting at this moment. When they saw grandma and mother cleaning the table, everyone hurried over to help.

"Okay, you are tired enough, hurry up and go to bed. Tomorrow, people from the village will have to cheer up. Well, we will do this work and go to bed quickly." Chen started to chase people.

Jinghan and the others were really tired. When they returned to the house, Jinghan brought hot water. The three sisters washed their feet one by one, then put on a quilt and lay down to sleep. Before going to bed, Jingxian said, "Second sister, do you think we can still eat meat like today in the future? I am so happy today. I have never eaten so much meat."

When Jinghan heard this, she couldn't help but smile. Today, she had benefited from Yue Pengcheng, otherwise it would be impossible for grandparents to agree. The farmers live a life, but they are not so wasteful. Today, these meats can be eaten for a long time, but they didn't expect to be all over in one night. "We make money hard and can't eat it again in the future. When our family's life is ready, you probably won't like this way of eating. Don't you think it's too oily and so fragrant that you can't eat it?"

The three sisters fell asleep soundly with a beautiful yearning for the future. In their sleep, they weave their expectations for the future.

Of course, nothing happened that night. On the morning of August 16th, everyone still wanted to get up early as usual. After breakfast, Zhixin took everyone to the place where the goods were delivered this year. Xue and Zhu also passed by. Only the old man and Chen were watching over the house, waiting for the people from the village and the yamen to come.

Everyone came to the ginseng field. Zhixin took the axe and opened the hammer shed. Then Wen Han and Peng Cheng both held sickles and cut the ginseng leaves down. No one cared about the ginseng leaves before. This time, when Jinghan heard that ginseng leaves had such an effect, Wen Han said that ginseng leaves would have such an effect, so Wen Han said that ginseng leaves would be kept and waited to tie them up and it would be useful. Since we wanted to stay, we could not just cut them down like before. Wen Han bent over, held the stem of the ginseng with one hand, and cut the bottom with a sickle with the other hand. Then he put the cut ginseng leaves together and arranged very neatly.

Pengcheng also held a sickle in his hand, watching Wen Han's movements while learning. Although he had never done these things before, nor had he ever taken a sickle, Pengcheng was very smart. He gradually mastered the tricks and did it well in a short while.

After cutting the ginseng leaves, Zhixin and Zhiming started to dig the rods. Every time the three teeth went down, they could dig out three or four rods. The snow-white ginseng trees were displayed in front of everyone. The Xu family had long been used to this scene, but Pengcheng had never seen it before and was stunned, "Wenhan, is this ginseng right? Unexpectedly, the fresh ginseng was like this white and fat, and it was really like a fat little baby." Pengcheng had cut the ginseng leaves, and now he learned from Jinghan and the others, knelt in the soil, and began to pull out the ginseng one by one. "Oh, this ginseng farmers are really bitter. They kneel down to ginseng all year round. If ginseng is not expensive, that's great?"
