Chapter 12 Meat Fragrance

When Jia Qiang returned home from school, unlike the lonely and lonely courtyard of the previous days, his small second-indoor courtyard was filled with loud voices and the laughter of babies.

Liu Laoshi's family has moved here. Although Liu Laoshi has always felt it was inappropriate before, they have moved here. The family no longer has to squeeze into a stuffy house the size of a pigeon cage. Although the courtyard is small, there is only one family, and they no longer have to live with the other two families.

There were more than a dozen people crowded together, and the smell of the toilet was so refreshing that it felt really refreshing.

When Jia Qiang came in, Liu Laoshi and Tieniu were tearing down the ruined screen door between the front and back yards and re-erecting it.

Seeing him come in, although Liu Laoshi and Tieniu both looked over with smiles, their work was still not finished. After a little more work, it was done.

Aunt Chun was carrying a dustpan to mend threads and some rags. A clean bedding was placed on the east wall of the courtyard. It had been dried in the sun for a day.

Liu Da Niu was the first to come up to her, holding the little stone in her arms and saying with a smile: "Qiang'er is back!"

Jia Qiang nodded, saw Xiao Shitou grinning at him, and gently scratched his little nose with her fingers, then heard Liu Da Niu happily say: "Brother Qiang, you asked your brother-in-law to make the iron frame stove and iron picks."

It's all been beaten. Your brother-in-law brought it back and put it in the south room. Mom also bought the peppers and spices you mentioned, and ground them into powder with a medicinal roller. Dad bought eight pounds of mutton and wrapped it in oil paper.

So I can tie a rope and hang it in a cold well..."

Jia Qiang was startled when she heard this and said, "I bought eight pounds of mutton? That shouldn't be enough money, right?"

Liu Da Niu said with a smile: "Mom said that you want to do big things and you can't be shabby, so she asked dad to pawn one of her old bracelets..."

Jia Qiang was slightly moved when she heard this, and Aunt Chun laughed and spat: "You girl can't hold back anything..." Then she said to Jia Qiang: "In this business, the first day of opening can't be shabby. You just have to

Buying three kilograms of mutton is not enough for Tien Niu to eat alone, so that’s like..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a loud swallowing sound. Aunt Chun turned her head and cursed Tieniu: "That's what I said. I didn't really let you eat it. You swallowed your shit."

, as loud as thunder!”

Tieniu was just having fun, and Jia Qiang asked: "Auntie, aren't you worried that my business is not going well?"

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Aunt Chun's face changed drastically when she heard this. After spitting a few times, she clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly for a while. She then warned Jia Qiang not to speak carelessly and asked the God of Wealth to listen carefully.

Finally, he said: "You said you were good at it, and you asked me to buy some spices. I found it to be reliable. Although your aunt and I only sell a pot of pancakes on the dock, I can see those old shops around.

They are very familiar with it! If they can start a business, don't they rely on the secret recipe in their hands? My nephew, you are well-read and smart, so you can do it!"

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Then I will try not to disappoint my aunt."

Liu Laoshi and Tieniu had already stopped and repaired the screen door. After washing themselves with water from the well, they came forward and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qiang, just go ahead and do whatever you want."

You can do it, but even if it doesn't work, if you live in this house, your brother-in-law and I will go out to find jobs, and your aunt and sister will wash and clean the house for a wealthy family, and they can also support you in your studies."

Jia Qiang looked at Liu Laoshi's dark face and Tieniu's honest and honest smile, and felt that he was lucky. He said, "You will know tonight whether it will work out or not."



A bunch of meat skewers were stacked on a thin board. They were the meat skewers that Jia Qiang taught Aunt Chun and Liu Da Niu to wear.

In her previous life, Jia Qiang spent four years in college and did not achieve much in her professional courses. However, because her dormitory roommates were from Tianshan Province and had been making a living in the barbecue business for generations, she learned how to barbecue well.

The skill required for barbecue itself is actually secondary. The key is to adjust the seasonings and marinate the meat well.

Marinate the evenly cut mutton pieces with salt, pepper, cumin, onions, sesame seeds, flour and beaten eggs for an hour and a half, then put them on skewers.

Control the charcoal fire and turn the skewers over. If the fire is low, use a fan to fan it. If the fire is high, use your fingers dipped in water to gently suppress the fire.

Flip and bake evenly, sprinkle with paprika and cumin, and wait for half a stick of incense...

Jia Qiang sniffed the familiar smell, with a rare satisfied smile on her face. She placed the four grilled mutton skewers on a clean tray, glanced at her uncle's family who were swallowing saliva or secretly, and asked Liu

He said honestly: "Uncle, have you written down the barbecue process?"

Liu Laoshi swallowed secretly again and said: "Qiang'er, I roughly remembered how to cook it, but how to season it..."

Aunt Chun on the side said with a smile: "How to season it is a secret recipe, you are such a boring old man, why don't you just think about it and learn it?"

Jia Qiang chuckled and said: "I will have to leave this matter to my uncle and aunt later. Now I am mainly busy with my studies so that I can gain fame as soon as possible. Only with a fame can I protect my family from being bullied. Therefore, this stall will be managed by

If your uncle's family takes care of it, it will be your livelihood in the future."

Liu Laoshi shook his head and said, "This is Qiang'er's business. If you make money, just give us some monthly payment."

Although Aunt Chun was a little disappointed, she nodded and said: "Although these meat skewers smell strange and a bit strong, how can they make people so greedy? It makes people salivate. I thought, this stall must make money. Really

If we build a time-honored brand and spread it out, we will definitely make a lot of money!"

When Jia Qiang heard this, she was applauded in her heart. After all, she was someone who had been hanging out in the wharf where various religions and streams were mixed for many years. She was a woman from the roots of the imperial city, and she had good taste.

However, he did not expect that the kebabs would bring him a time-honored golden mountain.

Because once this stall becomes popular, there will be people who are willing to imitate it.

There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital city, and the recipe for grilled mutton skewers is not some top-secret one. There are really great chefs who can probably write down the recipe just by hearing about it.

But it is still possible to make a lot of money, and maybe there will be an unexpected surprise...

Dayan established the country with force and established its capital in Yanjing.

Compared with the apricot blossoms and misty rain in Jiangnan, the climate in Yanjing is still a bit bitter and cold.

The soil and water support the people, and the people born in the bitter cold land should still be very popular with spicy meat skewers.

"Brother-in-law, you can eat."

From the corner of his eye, he saw Tieniu standing by the well like a black iron tower with his big eyes staring at the barbecue on the tray, swallowing one bite after another, Jia Qiang chuckled.

But Tieniu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat..." But he couldn't bear it anymore. After swallowing hard, he said again: "Let my parents and eldest daughter eat first."

Jia Qiang gave three of the four skewers to Liu Laoshi, Aunt Chun and Liu Da Niu, and then handed the last skewer to Tieniu.

Tieniu almost shed tears, shook his head and said: "Brother Qiang, you eat, you eat, I...I don't like meat."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, try it. Work hard and you can eat meat every day from now on."

Seeing Tieniu's almost holy and pious eyes, Jia Qiang suddenly felt that he seemed to have a way to slowly change this cute but powerful Tieniu...

Seeing that her uncle's family was embarrassed to have it all to themselves, Jia Qiang picked up six more skewers and grilled them on the grill. She said honestly to Liu: "Uncle, eat quickly. You will grill this plate of meat skewers for practice tomorrow."

It’s also of great use.”

But these words made Tieniu the most excited, saying: "All for us to eat?"

After being slapped and scolded for a while, Aunt Chun asked Jia Qiang: "Brother Qiang, how should I put it away after it's baked?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "It's only a pound of meat in total. It's worth it if my uncle can learn how to turn and roast it. As for after it's roasted, it will be shared among the family."

Aunt Chun was greatly distressed when she heard this. She had been frugal for most of her life. In the past, she could not eat mutton even once a year. How can she live like this now?

However, she also knew that Jia Qiang had a good idea and might not listen to her advice, so she asked again: "How to put the remaining seven kilograms of meat? It's fine in well water, but I'm afraid it may not be able to keep it fresh."

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "I can save it... By the way, have you bought Di Shuang?"

Jishuang is the name of the medicine, originally called saltpeter.
