SFS Chapter 297 Full Meal
Chapter 297 Full Meal
Good food is never too late, so this meal was not served until around three in the afternoon.
A big pot of fragrant stewed chicken soup, all three pheasants are put into the pot without leaving any!
There were twenty educated youth in the courtyard, twelve men and eight women.
It's like six or seven people sharing a chicken, with each person only getting a few pieces of meat and a bowl and a half of chicken soup.
But fortunately the roasted whole lamb on the other side was also ready!
Of the more than fifty kilograms of fresh mutton, only thirty-seven or thirty-eight kilograms were left after roasting.
The current environmental conditions are quite difficult and many seasonings are not available. Ning Yuan simply took out the fine salt and chili powder made from fried and dried chilies from his space.
The sheep in the mountains are different from the sheep raised at home. They really are running between life and death every day.
Therefore, most of the meat on the body is fine meat, and there is also fat, but it is much less than that of domestic sheep.
When this kind of meat is grilled, it will sizzle with oil. The oil will adhere to the surface of the meat, so quickly sprinkle fine salt and chili powder evenly on it.
The pungent aroma of chili powder mixed with the sizzling mutton fat is really mouth-watering!
Wu Zhongguo and Chen Xiaosi are responsible for roasting the lamb.
A simple wooden rack was made, and underneath was a pile of firewood. The poplar and willow branches that were roasting in the fire made a crackling sound.
The woody aroma will penetrate directly into the meat along with the rising smoke.
This is why many people say that charcoal barbecue, or simply firewood barbecue, tastes more delicious than charcoal barbecue.
After being turned over and roasted evenly, the aroma spreads everywhere, which directly covers the aroma of the big pot of chicken soup.
All the educated youth who were busy with their work in the yard were attracted over.
They unconsciously formed a circle in front of the barbecue fire.
Wu Zhongguo and Chen Xiaosi were swallowing their saliva continuously. You couldn't blame them for being greedy. As soon as they got up from the ancestral hall in the morning, Ning Yuan dragged them back.
It took me a whole morning to get back. After I got back, I just drank some water and then started working again.
Prepare the mutton, collect firewood, build a fire, set up the rack, and then grill the meat.
I've been busy until now, how can I not be hungry!
To be honest, it was very restrained of these two brothers not to tear the meat off directly.
Ning Yuan saw that the meal was almost ready, so he asked everyone to take their bowls and chopsticks. After the tables and chairs were set, the meal was served!
Each person gets a bowl of fresh chicken soup, two large baskets of steamed buns made from three-grain flour, and the highlight: a whole roasted lamb!
Of course, the whole roasted lamb was not placed on the table in its entirety. It was cut into two after being roasted.
One and a half bowls of chicken soup per person is enough, two steamed buns made of three-grain flour, plus half a roasted lamb weighs about 20 kilograms, and one point per person is about one kilogram of meat.
This is solid barbecued meat, not the fresh meat distributed by the supply and marketing cooperative!
This amount of food and drink is enough to feed a young and strong man.
Sure enough, it was just as Ning Yuan expected.
At the beginning, everyone couldn't hold back and ate the meat and drank the soup, and occasionally took a few bites of steamed bread to relieve the greasiness.
Ning Yuan was eating so fast that he was actually worried for a moment whether there was enough food.
But after a few minutes, after eating and gorging, everyone slowed down.
Including Ning Yuan himself, he was just like Wu Zhongguo, Chen Xiaosi and others. He drank some water after coming back and helped everyone clean up here and there.
He must have been extremely hungry. After tearing off a piece of roasted lamb impatiently, Ning Yuan started to chew it!
I have to say that the lamb was roasted to a really good quality, with the outer layer being golden brown and crispy, and the salt and chili powder adding flavor. When you take a bite, the skin is crispy and spicy!
The meat under the skin is firm, not tough, but chewy.
The taste is rich and layered. I picked up a steamed bread and took a bite. It goes perfectly with rice while enjoying the aroma of barbecue!
After eating too quickly, he picked up the bowl of chicken soup in front of him.
After blowing on it, I took a sip and it was so delicious that it exploded my taste buds!
Hey, damn it, this is the life a human being should live. What kind of life was that a few days ago?
So comfortable!
But after eating for a while, even Ning Yuan, who had a big appetite, felt a little full.
The female educated youth were the first to stop, followed by Xiao Ningwei, Chen Xiaosi and a few other thin people with small appetites.
Ning Yuan, Wu Zhongguo and a few of their friends ate until the end.
After forcing himself to stuff the remaining food on the table into his stomach.
It’s really not an exaggeration. These guys can’t even stand up.
Meng Qing and other female educated youth were also shocked to see Ning Yuan and his friends eating to such an extent.
He took a few white radishes from the side room, washed them, peeled them, and handed them to Ning Yuan and the others.
Everyone knows that white radish is good for the stomach and intestines.
After eating a few bites of radish and resting for a while, Ning Yuan and the others finally recovered.
After washing the kitchen utensils and cleaning up the firewood in the yard, it was almost dark.
Wu Zhongguo and Tian Erliang, the restless ones, waited until Ning Yuan had recovered from the overeating, but before they could behave themselves for a while, they came over again and urged Ning Yuan to go to the woods to get some wild animals.
How could Ning Yuan not know what these guys were thinking? They just wanted to show off their power in front of the female educated youth.
I also wanted to play with a gun and satisfy my craving for it.
But it was already dark, and the environment in the wild forest was complex. Large wild animals might be easy to guard against, but some small dangers were not easy to avoid.
For example, snakes, centipedes, poisonous spiders, etc. If you can't see them clearly, you won't notice them!
There's no need to rush. Just wait one night and go out during the day tomorrow.
So Ning Yuan just shook his head and said to Wu Zhongguo and the others.
"Okay, why are you still making such a fuss so late at night? Go outside and take the sulfur powder and quicklime we brought from the old city and sprinkle them carefully along the wall!"
Wu Zhongguo and others looked at each other and had no choice but to nod.
Ning Yuan looked at the guys becoming more and more depressed, so he could only continue speaking.
"Tomorrow morning, let's take our guns and go into the mountains to get him. We'll also explore the mountains to see if there are any wild fruit trees or anything like that. As long as it's edible and useful, we'll take it!"
After hearing this, Wu Zhongguo, Tian Erliang and others became happy again and nodded repeatedly.
Then he walked quickly out of the house.
Ning Yuan also followed them out and saw them carrying bags full of sulfur powder and quicklime powder from the side room, walking out of the yard and starting to sprinkle them along the wall, and then returning to the house.
Qinling Mountains is such a great place. Of course, it is only because they have the weapons in their hands that they can roam freely in the forest and get such rich harvests.
If it weren't for these guys, they wouldn't be able to live like this.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan also began to wonder whether he should go look for Yuemin, Fatty and the others?
