The sun shone obliquely on the quiet courtyard, the afternoon heat gradually subsided, leaving behind a cool breeze.

At this time, Song Xile was leading Chang'an and the cook to set up a simple barbecue table in the yard.

This thing basically requires no technical content, and the three of them only took a quarter of an hour to put it together.

After setting up the simple barbecue table, Song Xile brought out the meat marinated at noon and led the three people to eat skewers.

Just when the few people here were halfway through skewering, they saw Song An coming back with charcoal.

Song Xile heard the noise and looked towards the door. Seeing his second brother coming back, he asked hurriedly, "How is it? Did you buy it?"

Song An raised the charcoal in his hand and said, "I bought it. I did as you said and specifically asked for one with less smoke."

Song Xile nodded, "Okay, we have set up the barbecue table, you start the fire first and try the charcoal first."

Song An put down the charcoal in his hand, walked to the barbecue table, and began to make a fire skillfully.

He first carefully placed the charcoal, then lit a handful of hay with a fire starter and gently placed it under the charcoal.

The flames spread rapidly, and the charcoal gradually turned red under the licking of the flames.

"The fire is lit, you can put the skewered ingredients on top now."

Upon hearing this, Song Xile asked the other two to continue skewering, while she took the skewered lamb and put it on the grill.

The charcoal fire was sizzling the kebabs, and the tempting aroma of the lamb kebabs filled the entire courtyard.

Song Xile sat in front of the barbecue table and kept turning the meat skewers, brushing some oil on the meat from time to time to ensure that it would not be burnt.

As the charcoal fire roasts, the color of the lamb skewers gradually changes from pink to golden yellow, and the outer layer of meat becomes crispy under the roasting of the charcoal fire.

Finally, Song Xile quickly grabbed a handful of spice powder from the seasoning jar and sprinkled it evenly on the skewers.

The spice powder quickly emits a rich aroma under the roasting of charcoal fire, and blends with the mutton, making people salivate.

Song An stood by the barbecue grill, bewitched by the aroma that filled his nose.

He sniffed, swallowed his saliva and exclaimed: "It smells so good!"

Song Xile then handed the golden roasted lamb skewers in his hand, which were emitting a rich aroma, to Song An and said with a smile, "Second brother, try it. How does it taste?"

Song An took the skewer and couldn't wait to take a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with juice overflowing. At the same time, the aroma of spices and mutton spread in his mouth, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.

His eyes sparkled, and he said in surprise: "Xi Le's skewers taste really good. I think we will have no trouble selling them in the future!"

These days, he followed his sister to eat roasted lamb in the restaurant a few times, but the texture and taste of the lamb were obviously inferior to the lamb skewers in his hand.

Although the mutton in the restaurant is delicious, it lacks that unique aroma and taste.

If he had some concerns before, worrying that the mutton skewers would not be easy to sell, after eating them, he was no longer worried at all.

This lamb kebab is so delicious!

Song Xile smiled and said, "I'll prepare some sour plum soup for you when the time comes. The sour plum soup is sweet and sour, and it can relieve greasiness and heat. It goes perfectly with the mutton skewers.

Song An nodded vigorously when he heard this, and he was looking forward to it.

The fragrance in the courtyard was like an invisible hand, quietly penetrating the doors and windows and entering the noses of the two people who were studying in the house.

Qian Feng rubbed his nose, took a deep breath of the aroma in the air, immediately put down the book in his hand, and suggested: "It smells so good, they must be roasting mutton skewers, let's go and take a look."

Chen Yunyou raised his head slightly, raised his eyes from the pages of the book, sniffed, and smelled a strong fragrance. A smile flashed in his eyes.

He closed the book gently, stood up and said, "I'm hungry, let's go and take a look."

The two walked out of the house together and followed the scent to the front yard.

Song Xile was busy flipping and grilling the lamb skewers, while Song An beside him was helping to brush the oil according to his instructions.

Seeing Qian Feng and Yun You coming, Song Xile greeted them warmly: "You came at the right time, come and try the lamb skewers and give us some advice."

Qian Feng and Chen Yunyou walked to the barbecue grill and saw the lamb skewers sizzling on the fire, the aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.

They each took a skewer from Song An and took a careful bite. Suddenly, the tenderness of the meat and the richness of the spices intertwined in their mouths, leaving them with an endless aftertaste.

"It's so delicious!" Qian Feng couldn't help but exclaimed, "This mutton kebab is grilled just right, the meat is tender and juicy, and the most distinctive thing is the seasoning on the mutton kebab, it's very unique, I've never eaten it before."

Chen Yun was chewing food in his right mouth. He was not able to speak and just kept nodding his head to show his agreement.

Seeing that the two liked it, Song Xile smiled and explained, "This is a spice I mixed myself, with a little bit of herbs in it. It not only improves the taste of mutton, but also removes the mutton smell. If you like it, I'll give you some later."

After hearing this, Qian Feng was very excited. He also liked outings and picnics. If he could get some seasonings, wouldn’t he be able to use them the next time he had a barbecue outdoors?

After eating such delicious barbecue, I find the previous barbecue hard to swallow.

He thought about it and finally couldn't bear to refuse, so he said happily: "In that case, thank you very much, sister-in-law!"

Song Xile smiled and told him not to be polite. Seeing that they had finished the skewers in their hands, she handed them the freshly grilled lamb skewers.

While everyone was grilling and eating, Song Xile did not forget to tell his second brother about tomorrow's arrangements.

"Brother, I have arranged for the old farmer who sells sheep to come to my house tomorrow. I have reserved all the sheep from his family. I was thinking of going to his house with you tomorrow to check out the sheep."

Song An was enjoying his meal at this time. Hearing his sister's words, he nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Chen Yunyou, who was sitting next to his wife and helping her, heard that his wife was going out of the city and asked worriedly, "Is the farmer's home far from the city? Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?"

The drought is severe now, and he has no idea what the situation is like in the villages and towns farther away from the city, so he is still very worried about the safety of his wife and her group.

Song Xile shook his head and refused, "You don't have to worry about these trivial matters. Don't worry, the farmer I asked is not far from the city, and my second brother is with me!"

Qian Feng, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two and suggested, "Chang'an is familiar with the area around the city, so tomorrow my sister-in-law can take Chang'an with her, which will be safer!"

Song Xile thought about it, thanked him, and agreed.

It's always a good idea to be careful when you're out.

When Chen Yunyou saw that his wife was willing to take Chang'an with her, he no longer insisted on going with her.

Everyone grilled and ate until dusk, when all the skewers were gone. Then they went back to the house to rest in satisfaction.
