Farming and Raising Cubs (II)

Chapter 169: Barbecue

"We know her." Zhang Qihui said with a smile, "Sister Li, you hosted a banquet at the General's Mansion before. While we were waiting, we saw Madam Gu, Madam Shang, and Madam Zuo sitting together. But we didn't know Madam Gu at that time, and no one introduced her, so we didn't rush to greet her."

"But later at the banquet, I saw Su Zhi'er actually provoking Madam Gu for no reason." Zhang Qihui said, "When I heard Madam Gu's response, I remembered Madam Gu. She is really a smart person. I also thought that if there was a chance, I could get someone to introduce her to me. I didn't expect that Madam Gu actually knew Sister Li. I happened to meet her today, and it also fulfilled my wish."

"Why is Su Zhier always picking on you?" Guo Liyan asked in confusion. When Su Zhier was mentioned, she looked unhappy, just like Zhang Qihui.

"She was like this at Sister Li's banquet before, and she's acting like this again today when the new store opens." Guo Liyan wrinkled her nose, "How disgusting."

"You." Li Zhiyin smiled helplessly, "Military Advisor Guo is very resourceful, how could he raise you to be so naive?"

"My father said that he just needs to use his brain for everything." Guo Liyan said with a smile, "Besides, he said he knows how tiring it is to use your brain. So he won't let me work so hard."

"Anyway, he and my brother will do the brain-intensive work. Even if I'm stupid, my brother will back me up." Guo Liyan said with a smile.

"You are so spoiled." Zhang Qihui said enviously, "I am different. My father has always treated me like a brother and made me practice martial arts since I was young. It was very hard."

Li Mumu breathed a sigh of relief when Li Zhiyin changed the subject to Su Zhier's.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qihui brought it up again, "But what's wrong with Su Zhier? She said those things in the street before. She thought everyone else was a fool. Do you really think what she said makes sense?"

"That's right. I hate her anyway." Guo Liyan said, "She always looks down on us because we come from a military family. She looks at us with condescending eyes when we meet, and even wins over other people to exclude the families of our military families. What a joke!"

"She is just looking down on others. Do you think she dares to look down on Sister Li? Isn't she polite to Sister Li? What Sister Li said about her,

She didn't dare to talk back, and could only stammer that she didn't mean that. "Zhang Qihui said.

"She doesn't dare to talk back to you now." Guo Liyan said with a smile, "Ever since your father was promoted to deputy general, she has been polite to you."

That's what's even more infuriating." Zhang Qihui sneered, "You saw how she treated me before. But as soon as my father got promoted, she immediately changed her attitude. It would be fine if she was really polite to me, but she had to act like she had to be polite to me, and she was being polite to me while trying to compromise. Who is she trying to disgust?"

"She is simply sick. I don't know what she is thinking. I guess she is targeting Madam Gu. I don't know what's wrong with her brain." Guo Liyan gave the answer first without Li Mumu's answer.

Li Mumu couldn't tell that Su Zhier had fallen in love with Gu Shangqing.

So Guo Liyan gave the answer and Li Mumu stopped talking.

"Since we are happy today, let's not talk about those unhappy people and things." Li Mumu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about her." Guo Liyan nodded.

At this time, Shopkeeper Li knocked on the door, opened it and came in.

The maid behind him was holding a tray with some ordered meat and vegetables on it.

The maids placed the meat and vegetables on the table one by one. Another maid brought a charcoal basin, lit the charcoal, and placed the charcoal-grilled plate on the charcoal.

"Would you like the maid to help bake it, or would you like to bake it yourself?" asked Manager Li.

"I want to bake it myself." Zhang Huiqi looked at Li Zhiyin eagerly, then at Li Mumu, "I think it's more fun to bake it myself."

Li Mumu smiled and said, "Most of the customers at our Gu's snack bar bake their own food."

It's rare to see a rich lady like Zhang Huiqi willing to bake it herself.

But think about it, they are the daughters of military generals, and probably they are not as delicate as Su Zhier on a daily basis.

"Sometimes I go on an outing with my brother and his friends, and grill the meat outside by ourselves, which is really fun." Guo Liyan stared at the grill pan, and it was obvious that she also wanted to grill it herself.

"It's fun to bake it yourself." Li Zhiyin asked Li Mumu and others, "Why don't we try baking it ourselves? If it doesn't work, we can ask the waiter to bake it.

"Okay."

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

Although Min Huilan married a civil servant, she was a free and easy person in her boudoir. She went hiking, riding horses, shooting arrows, and hunting game and roasting them.

Madam Shang came from a family of military generals and married a military general, so naturally she didn't care about these things.

So everyone just barbecued themselves.

The maid gave each of them a wooden clip, "This is specially used to pick up raw meat, so you don't have to use your own chopsticks to pick up raw meat, which is not clean."

"Your store is really thoughtful." Zhang Qihui praised.

Li Mumu discovered that among the people at this table, it seemed that only Zhang Qihui and Guo Liyan were real guests.

She, Li Zhiyin, Madam Shang and Min Huilan are all the owners of this store.

Suddenly, it felt like four people were dragging two unsuspecting little white rabbits in to consume.

"Why don't I teach you how to do it first?" Li Mumu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Qihui nodded repeatedly, "No one knows better than you."

Li Mumu picked up a piece of fat with a wooden clip and rubbed the entire iron plate with it.

The pot in the middle of the iron plate was filled with a three-fresh soup base, and small bubbles had begun to appear.

"When the water boils, you can put your favorite food in it." Li Mumu said, "Control the heat according to your taste. For example, if you like the meat to be tender, cook it for a shorter time. If you like the vegetables to be crispy, cook them for a shorter time as well."

"I'll grease the baking pan now to make it oily so that the meat won't stick to the pan when I grill it later." Li Mumu said, "Besides, the meat itself has fat in it, so some oil will come out when it's grilled, so there's no need to pour oil into the pan specifically."

After rubbing, Li Mumu put in the red and white beef ribs first, "This is beef ribs, with a delicate taste. If you like to eat it well-done, roast it for a longer time. But this fresh beef, when it is not so well-done, actually tastes great."

Li Mumu turned it over. "Like now, we just slightly heat the surface, and the inner layer is still raw meat, retaining the original blood red color and flavor of the beef. The texture inside and outside is distinct, and the taste is tender, soft and fresh, and it tastes like the original meat."
