Chapter 202 All-you-can-eat BBQ
The old man was distressed to see her piling on the seasonings like they were free, and he kept saying, "Less, less, that's enough. I still have a roe deer here. Roe deer meat will not taste good if it's not salted enough. Don't waste such a big roe deer for a few leeks! I, your teacher, have chased it for a long time over mountains and across rivers! Okay, enough, don't grill it anymore, don't grill it anymore, go back and grill it!"
Zhou Guo thought so too. It didn’t matter whether they ate the roasted leeks or not. Even if they roasted a whole basket of them, they still wouldn’t be full. But they had to eat the roe deer meat. Whether they could be full or not depended on it.
As soon as he stopped, the old man snatched it away and held it tightly in his hand.
"I don't need it. Why are you still holding on to it?" Zhou Guo was dissatisfied. Why was he like guarding against thieves?
The old man said, "Huh, I'm keeping an eye on it, okay? You almost used up all this. You have so many ideas in your head, who knows what new ideas you'll come up with later. You'll have to bring these things yourself when we go out next time."
Zhou Guo couldn't believe his ears. He pointed at the bottles and said, "Just for these broken bottles, you treat me like this? I'm your apprentice. I don't want it. I don't know how to grill meat. The meat grilled by Master is still the best."
The old man said, "You are just lazy. What don't you know how to grill? Grilled pine mushroom slices are the most delicious, fried oil is the most fragrant, and this seasoning is also good and can greatly enhance the flavor of the dish. You can do everything, but you are lazy."
Zhou Mai couldn't help but curl his lips as he listened to this. These two masters and apprentices were not arguing at all, they were clearly praising each other.
I roasted two blades of leeks and cooked a small pile. It doesn't look like much, but if you separate them one by one, there are still quite a few.
The fat of the roe deer sizzled out under the roasting fire, and the skin brushed with honey gave off a faint sweet smell mixed with the aroma of the roe deer meat. Zhou Guo's stomach kept singing the empty city plan. He had been hungry for a long time, and smelling this strange aroma made him even hungrier.
The meat is not cooked yet, and I can’t eat it raw, so I pinched a leek between my thumb and index finger and ate it.
The roasted leeks are tender, refreshing and juicy. The dried shrimp powder enhances the freshness, making it salty and delicious with a strong leek flavor. It would be even better with chili and cumin, and the taste would be richer. But this is also delicious, and Zhou Guo nodded repeatedly.
It goes well with meat, so I have to keep it.
Zhou Mai also ate one, and his eyes lit up. "I didn't expect roasted leeks to taste like this. It's much better than fried leeks, and it's very flavorful."
The old man was turning the meat to prevent it from getting burnt. He saw from the corner of his eye that the two were eating happily. He waited anxiously for a long time, but did not see his apprentice take any action.
Zhou Guo was sharpening chopsticks with a dagger, one by one. He looked up at the barbecue in front of him. He was so hungry that the only thing in his eyes was the meat!
It was Zhou Mai again. Seeing the old man glancing at the roasted leeks again and again, he took one considerately and said, "Sir, you should try it too. The taste of roasted leeks is really different."
The old man coughed, opened his mouth and ate, his eyebrows raised as he ate. It must be said that roasted leeks are very delicious. He even tasted better than ordinary meat. He glanced at his young apprentice beside him inadvertently. This kid had ideas one after another in his mind, but every time he made something good. Most people have such ability.
"Gurgle~~" Zhou Guo touched his flat stomach and couldn't help but pointed at the skin and asked, "Master, is the barbecue not done yet? I think the outer layer must be edible. It has been roasted for so long, it will burn if it is roasted any longer."
Seeing that she was so hungry that she had lost her energy and spirit, the old man felt a little distressed and comforted her, "It will be soon."
He quickened his hands' movements and applied another layer of material upwards.
Zhou Mai picked all the leeks in the basket and sat waiting. It was already late at this time and the aunties from the mountain had gone back for dinner and would probably be here by now.
The aroma of roasted roe deer is more fragrant than any other game. A rich fragrance spreads through the woods. Fortunately, this place is some distance away from the land at the foot of the mountain, otherwise those aunts would have gone home and called everyone in their family over.
Zhou Guo had no idea how much saliva he had drooled, he just felt like the time was passing exceptionally long.
"Okay, it's time to eat!"
Finally, the old man spoke, and the two jumped up with joy as if they had been pardoned. Zhou Guo muttered, "Finally, I can eat. Finally, I can eat. I was starving. This must be delicious."
He pulled out his dagger and cut off three pieces. "Here, Master, this piece is yours. Brother, this piece is for you, and this piece is mine."
He inserted the dagger into the meat with his backhand, sat down with the piece of meat and prepared to enjoy the delicious meal.
After taking a big bite, she was so hungry that she felt the meat in her mouth was amazing. She had never eaten such delicious meat before, it was salty, fragrant, tender and juicy. She cut another piece, one after another.
The three of them ate more happily than each other, and by this time, their stomachs were already empty.
Towards the end of the meal, Zhou Guo put all the roasted leeks on the barbecue, cut two slices of meat, put a leek in between, and took a bite. The refreshing leeks neutralized the greasiness of the barbecue, making the taste richer.
Seeing her novel way of eating, Zhou Mai and the old man followed her example. They sandwiched half a leek between two slices of meat and stuffed them into their mouths. It was delicious and interesting, and they couldn't stop eating.
When the three stopped, only four legs were left of the whole roasted roe deer meat in front of them.
Zhou Guo burped, and the breath was full of the smell of roe deer meat. It was really satisfying. He could eat all he could eat. He thought that this place was not far from the border, and the yellow sheep meat outside the border was said to be very delicious. "Master, they say that yellow sheep meat is more tender and has no fishy smell. Have you tried it?"
The old man looked at her and said helplessly, "These game can no longer satisfy you? You are thinking about yellow sheep again. I knew that you would come up with a weird idea in a while."
Zhou Guo said: "I just said that, Master, have you ever eaten it?"
The old man said, "No, the most authentic yellow sheep are those raised on the grassland. They taste better, but where can I eat them?" However, if there is a chance, it is okay to get two to eat.
While the two were talking, Zhou Mai had already started to clean up. He chopped the remaining meat and put it in a basket, then covered it with a layer of leeks to avoid being seen. He then tied up the extra leeks with thin vines.
Zhou Guo dug some soil and covered the fire. After making sure that the fire was out, several people carried their things down the mountain.
Zhou Mai also tied up the remaining firewood, thinking of taking it back with him when he returned so that he could use it directly when he brought it back dry.
After going down the mountain, the others went home to have a meal, and now they had really reached the fields.
Seeing the three people coming out of the woods, they all looked envious. There was no doubt that they were going to the woods to cook some special dishes again.
I stretched my neck to look into the basket, and saw only a basket of leeks. He was also holding such a large bundle in his hand. Even if it was just leeks, it would be enviable enough.
