Chapter 994 Making an exception



Chapter 994 Making an exception

The others were not willing to be outdone. If they insisted on separating the seats into high and low positions at this time, it would be a real disappointment.

Zhou Guo took the two roasted suckling pigs down, placed them on the large banana leaf in the middle, and cut them a few times with a knife.

Erpang and his gang came over carrying two roasted legs, and the remaining legs were still on the fire.

Zhou Guo said, "It's cold, it will get cold soon, put the meat on the fire first and take it out after you finish eating."

Everyone nodded, "That's good. It will keep you from getting cold. You're very thoughtful."

Zhou Guo distributed chopsticks to several people, and then his personal soldiers brought basins of hot water.

The generals asked, "What is this for?"

Zhou Guo said, "This barbecue tastes better when you slice it yourself. The generals have been busy all day, so wash your hands before eating."

General Xu took the lead in washing. "Wash when I tell you to. I don't know where I've been touching for the whole day. What's wrong with my hands? Wash quickly, or I'll think you're dirty."

Zhou Dacang followed closely behind. Zhou Guo was still a little particular in some aspects. No one knew where this habit came from. Their family had never had this habit since they were young.

When the others saw that the general had taken a bath, they had no choice but to follow suit.

But they were all rough guys who thought that the woman was just washing her symbolically and then getting up after rinsing her in the water.

Zhou Guo ignored them and sat between General Xu and the old man, wiping their knives and holding bowls for them.

Erpang brought a jar of wine from the tent.

The group of people stared at the wine jar with their eyes wide open, and swallowed subconsciously. Zhou Guo could hear the gurgling sound clearly.

"Mr. Zhou still has this good thing?" Everyone looked at General Xu.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Dad, this wine is sake, it doesn't have such a strong aftereffect, there aren't many key ingredients, everyone can satisfy their cravings."

Barbecue would be much less enjoyable without wine, but luckily she always kept a few jars of wine in her carriage, which came in handy.

Knowing the rules of the camp, she only dared to take one jar. The alcohol content of this thing was about the same as that of rice wine, so it would be fine to drink more than a dozen bowls. Otherwise, she really wouldn't dare to take it out.

General Xu said, "Since our Master Zhou has said so, let's make an exception tonight and let's drink this jar of wine slowly."

It's not easy for everyone to cheer together. Is it possible to drink in the military camp?

It seems that the general really dotes on this newly adopted daughter and is willing to make an exception for her even for such an iron rule.

Zhou Guo poured wine for everyone, bowl by bowl.

Everyone looked on eagerly, stretching their necks as far as they could. When a few drops spilled, they felt so distressed that they wanted to lick them.

He kept muttering to himself, "Fill it up, fill it up, pour more..."

Zhou Guo smiled and filled bowl after bowl. Without waiting for General Xu to say anything, several people grabbed bowl after bowl. Only the bowl they grabbed was theirs, and they couldn't wait to take a sip.

"Ha... good wine!!"

Whatever is left after you drink it is yours.

This wine was not strong enough for them, not punchy enough, not strong enough, but it was better than nothing in the military camp, so it was pretty good.

Zhou Dacang also picked up the wine and took a sip, smacking his lips twice. He was not that keen on alcohol, so it was okay not to drink it, and it would be even better if he had some.

General Xu smiled and held the bowl to clink glasses with the old man.

Zhou Guo also picked up the bowl and took a sip. After finishing the drink happily, he started to eat the meat. The first piece of meat was naturally the roast suckling pig. He looked around and decisively stuffed it into his mouth.

It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and fragrant, and the meat beneath the skin melts in your mouth, making you want to eat more.

Zhou Guo ate one piece and then hurriedly cut another piece, then ate his own.

The others were also busy drinking and eating. With so many delicious foods, who had the mood to pay attention to anything else?

After discussing the matter for such a long time, I was already hungry. I had been looking forward to this meal in the evening all day and didn't even have lunch.

The old man was originally wondering who the girl would give the first piece of meat to, and was secretly looking forward to it, but the girl turned around and stuffed it into her mouth, eating it with great relish.

It looks like he has forgotten what's left and right.

He didn't wait any longer and picked up the dagger to slice the roast suckling pig in front of him. He had been thinking about eating this for many years, but he never expected to eat it here.

General Xu didn't care at all and told Zhou Guo, "Eat slowly. If you like them, I'll have people go to the mountains to catch a dozen tomorrow and let you take them away."

Zhou Guo shook his head. "No need. Good things can't be eaten every day. It's easy to get tired of them. You have to eat them after a long time. This way you can always keep your passion for this delicacy. If you get tired of it after a few days, it will be no fun."

The most compelling evidence is the pine mushroom. Just think about how much the old man liked it at the beginning. He could eat a whole basket of it by himself.

After so many years, when it comes to harvesting pine mushrooms every year, I can only eat some in the first few days, and I can't eat much throughout the whole winter.

According to him, there are so many mushrooms piled up in the warehouse that even if you don’t eat them, you’ll get tired of them just by looking at and smelling them.

General Xu nodded and said, "That's right. I'll owe you the money for now."

Zhou Guo said, "Dad, stop talking and eat quickly. This should be eaten while hot. It won't taste as good if it gets cold."

Didn’t you see that the old man took a sip of wine and then stopped drinking, and just kept eating the roast suckling pig.

"Okay, you eat too." General Xu followed his instructions and took a piece of the roast suckling pig. He was stunned after taking a bite. It was quite different from the roast suckling pig he had eaten in previous years. It was extremely tender and melted in his mouth. He had eaten so many roast suckling pigs, but few were as good as this one.

Zhou Guo said: "How is it? Not bad, right? This little wild boar is the best for roasting suckling pig. We caught a few in the early years and roasted them all. They are delicious."

General Xu didn't answer, and everyone else nodded, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

With this roasted suckling pig, they no longer even eat roe deer meat. They can still eat roe deer meat from time to time, but this roasted suckling pig is something that ordinary people cannot make, and it does not taste like this.

Two roasted suckling pigs were not much, so Zhou Guo left some for Erpang and the others. They were big men, and she had a big appetite, so she had almost finished the two roasted suckling pigs before she finished a bowl of wine.

The few people were still not satisfied with the meal, and General Xu said, "The roast suckling pig made by the little wild boar is quite good."

When these words were spoken, Zhou Dacang and his friends were delighted, as this meant that they would be able to eat roast suckling pig from time to time in the future.

If it really doesn't work, you can go into the mountains and fight by yourself.

Zhou Guo didn't just eat roast suckling pig and grilled skewers, he also ate a lot of roe deer meat and roe deer legs, as well as cold wild vegetables and watercress. Eating too much meat would make you feel sick, and these wild vegetables were just right.

The old man also ate a lot. He still liked the watercress and thought the taste of the one mixed by Zhou Guo was just right. A little more would be salty.

Seeing him constantly picking up the dish to eat, Zhou Dacang followed suit. As an old man, he was quite picky about food.

If you don’t want to eat the barbecue on the ground, try this instead. It must taste good.

I took a piece of Zhe Er Gen with chopsticks and thought it was pretty good. I ate another piece and it was quite delicious...
