Chapter 668 Beer and BBQ
"It's because you came back late!" Jia Dongxu glanced at Qin Huairu and said unhappily, "Look how hungry our son is. Feed him quickly."
After saying that, he sat up on the bed with his hands, pointed at the lunch box and said, "Bring the lunch box over here, I'm starving."
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu in front of her and felt inexplicably disgusted.
What a waste!
I work so hard outside to make money, and you can't even take care of a child?
But Qin Huairu didn't dare say it out loud. After throwing the lunch box to Jia Dongxu, she went to coax the child.
Ten minutes later, Qin Huairu coaxed Banggeng to sleep, and found that the three lunch boxes had been mostly eaten by Jia Dongxu, especially the scrambled eggs with peppers and eggplant with minced meat, of which there was nothing left. He had also eaten two and a half of the four white steamed buns.
"Don't order so many dishes next time. I can't finish them!" Jia Dongxu wiped his mouth and leaned back on the bed.
"I haven't eaten yet!" Qin Huairu stared at Jia Dongxu and said.
"Oh~"
......
On the other side, the steel mill canteen.
Chen Jun was particularly free today, and there was no host at all, so he took a nap until 3:30 in the afternoon.
After waking up, he went to the logistics department to brag to Director Song for a while, and then left as soon as the bell rang.
Having promised Chen Xueru to make a barbecue the day before yesterday, Chen Jun planned to go for a walk outside the city.
He heard from Director Song that after get off work, some people set up stalls outside the city to sell fruits and vegetables, and if they were lucky, they might even come across someone selling game, so he decided to try his luck and see if he could buy pheasants and rabbits.
Pheasant can be made into chicken stewed with mushrooms, and rabbit can be made into spicy rabbit head.
Because they only set up the stalls for a short while after get off work and outside the city, no one cares, and there are no red armbands strolling outside the city. I guess the higher-ups turn a blind eye to it in order to allow the people outside the city to have more business.
Ten minutes later, Chen Jun arrived at the destination by bike. He took a quick glance and found that it was quite large.
It’s a pity that my luck was not good today and I didn’t encounter any hares or pheasants.
"How is the mutton sold?"
Chen Jun stopped in front of a stall somewhat unexpectedly. Surrounded by stalls selling fruits, brooms and handmade items, the mutton stall stood out particularly.
Brother, you are quite brave. You dare to sell mutton in the daytime, and you are not afraid of being caught.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat. He first looked at Chen Jun, then replied: "This is a wild goat. I caught it in the field."
ha? ?
Wild goats?
You really are such a shameless liar. Where can you find wild goats outside the city?
However, Chen Jun did not expose him, and continued to ask: "How much is a pound of lamb leg meat? Do you want a coupon?"
"No need for coupons, lamb leg meat is two yuan a pound, and you have to order a whole leg!" said the stall owner.
The lamb legs were not sold separately. It seemed that the stall owner wanted to sell all the meat this morning. The price of two yuan was not high enough. Chen Jun thought for a moment and pointed at the two lamb legs and said, "I want both of them. Please weigh them for me."
Wow, a big customer!
The stall owner looked at Chen Jun in surprise, then quickly weighed the two lamb legs, a total of twelve pounds and two ounces.
"The total is twenty-four dollars and forty cents. I'll take twenty-four from you and give you some mutton offal as a gift. Do you think that's okay?" the stall owner asked tentatively.
Two lamb legs cost more than 20 yuan. Most people would turn around and leave when they hear this price. After all, this price is almost as much as an ordinary person's monthly salary. No one would be willing to eat meat like this.
"Well, no problem!" Chen Jun took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out twenty-four yuan and handed it to the stall owner.
It was the first time that the stall owner had seen such a happy buyer. He quickly packed the lamb legs and gave a lot of mutton offal. After the transaction, he actually started to pack up the stall and prepare to leave.
Chen Jun took the bag handed to him by the stall owner, bought some vegetables, and then rode his bike home.
When we arrived at the courtyard, there was only a leg of lamb hanging on the bicycle; the rest were nowhere to be seen.
When passing by the middle courtyard, Chen Jun saw Sha Zhu washing vegetables by the sink, so he asked casually, "Sha Zhu, have you washed the mutton offal?"
Sha Zhu was stunned when he heard this, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes, I washed it when I was in our cafeteria!"
After saying that, Sha Zhu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The stir-fried mutton offal that Chen Jun made last time left a deep impression on him.
"Well, you don't have to cook anymore, come to the backyard to help, cook a few dishes, have a little barbecue, and have a drink together."
Hey, there's BBQ!!
After hearing this, Sha Zhu was so excited that he nodded and said, "No problem, you go back to the backyard first, I'll be there soon."
Sha Zhu was afraid that his wife was pregnant and was malnourished, so he would not miss the opportunity to eat meat. And that girl He Yushui had been asking for meat recently.
Of course, Sha Zhu would not go empty-handed. When he came to the backyard to help, he had two bottles of wine in his hands.
Judging from its appearance, it seems that he bought it when he got married. It is a good wine.
Things like mutton offal are not expensive, and they are very cheap even in the pigeon market.
The main reason is that there are few types of seasonings here, and the fishy smell is difficult to remove. It is difficult for ordinary families to make it taste good, and it is also troublesome to clean. That’s why Chen Jun called Sha Zhu to wash the mutton offal so that he can free up his hands to skewer the lamb.
And Sha Zhu is indeed an expert at washing sheep offal, and he washes each one thoroughly.
"Fuck, what are you doing?"
Just when Chen Jun was preparing to barbecue, Xu Damao came back shaking his head.
This guy had several strings of dried chilies hanging on his handlebars and a piece of pork belly in his hand.
"Barbecue, do you know anything about barbecue?" Sha Zhu showed off to Xu Damao with some pride, and then he caught a glimpse of something on the back seat of Xu Damao's car.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be beer.
Hey!
"You're living a comfortable life, you're even willing to buy beer!"
This time it was Xu Damao's turn to be proud. He raised his chin and looked at Sha Zhu through his nose: "This is a happy event, so we should celebrate it!"
You don't need to ask to know what the happy event Xu Damao is talking about.
"Hey, Chen Jun, can I have a meal with you guys? I'll give you all these things!"
Xu Damao lives in the backyard and knows Chen Jun’s cooking skills better than anyone else. Even a simple breakfast can make him drool.
Now they were having a barbecue, and Xu Damao couldn't help it.
In this hot summer, drinking some beer and having something made by Chen Jun himself, just thinking about it makes me feel delicious!
"Okay, then go wash these vegetables."
When it comes to barbecue, it will be more lively when there are more people, not to mention that there are only two people in Xu Damao's family.
"Hey, wait for me, I'll be there soon!" Xu Damao parked the car with a shout and rushed home to call people.
