Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Go to the mountains for most of the day.

Being able to recover two goats is already a good result.

"Hey, these are really sheep. I saw you carrying something from a distance." Wang Dongmeishan took a closer look and was also surprised.

This kind of sheep has been seen in the county. No one in Jixiang Village buys the lamb, let alone eat its meat.

"It would be great if it were alive so we could keep it alive." Wang Cuijuan was also very happy. She heard that the mutton was very expensive and only high-ranking officials in the county could eat it.

However, this sentence gave Xu Wenyan an inspiration. The sheep lived in that area, so it was possible for him to make a trap himself.

What if I catch one?

After these two goats were caught, they could only be used for food. Everyone looked at Xu Wenyan with anticipation.

I don't know why, but as fellow villagers, everyone feels that Xu Wenyan is knowledgeable and well-informed, and there will be no problem letting him handle the goat meat.

How could Xu Wenyan, who was entrusted with an important task, let everyone down?

"Brother Chen, peel the skin."

Chen Sanlin picked up the knife skillfully and peeled off a whole goat skin in no time.

Sheep contain a lot of fat in their bodies, even this goat.

As soon as the skin and flesh were cut, the mutton smell came up.

Even the greedy little tiger couldn't help but step back a little: "Brother Xu, is this mutton delicious? I feel like the taste is a little off."

"That's right, I'll take care of it."

Xu Wenyan took out a lot of previously picked tangerine peels from the room, cut them in half one by one and squeezed out the juice.

It doesn't count until the bowl is full.

Then he picked a handful of lemongrass from the side, mixed it with wild onions, and stuffed it into the cleaned whole lamb.

The sheep had Chen Sanlin cut it in advance. Simply put, it was a big cross that cut off some of the meridians connecting the bones.

Use the sharpened wooden skewers to poke holes in the mutton.

At this time, you need to rub it back and forth with the sour juice.

"Huzi, cut me an elm branch."

"oh oh."

Afterwards, Xu Wenyan added mountain pepper and star anise, and also applied a lot of chili flakes and salt.

If you want the mutton to be less fishy, ​​you can only add more seasoning. Just make sure the flavor of the seasoning covers up the mutton smell. Game meat is not as delicious as specially raised meat.

But it was not their turn to choose anything now.

The mutton needs to be marinated for nearly half an hour. During this period, Xu Wenyan gathered everyone to build a big fire in the yard, and used wooden sticks to form two tripods in front and behind the fire.

In the night sky, a blazing bonfire rose, and little sparks floated into the air. In this deep mountain, this bonfire was like a red star reflected on the ground, emitting little starlight.

Inviting Chen Sanlin to join them, the two of them skewered the mutton with elm wood. This kind of wood is resistant to burning and will not be roasted.

Xu Wenyan put up the whole lamb and roasted it over the campfire.

"Haha, who can tell the difference between us and the nobles now? I'm afraid the nobles wouldn't be willing to eat a whole sheep like this." Wang Dongmei laughed heartily, with joy revealed on her face.

Similarly, Zhou Jianye and his wife, who had been frugal for most of their lives, had never seen such a scene. If anyone in the village ate like this, they would definitely call him a spendthrift.

But to put it bluntly, it's all envy.

Envy others for having one more brick, one more meter of land, or one more tile than you.

Life in the countryside is not easy, and food is squeezed out from between teeth.

"Huzi, help me turn the meat over, and be slow."

Xiaohu took the elm stick with mutton in it from Xu Wenyan's hand and said seriously, "I promise to complete the task!"

Xu Wenyan was also very happy. To be honest, this was also his first time to make a whole roasted lamb. Everyone was his guinea pig, so they had to finish it no matter whether it tasted good or not.

He stood aside and took out a bamboo piece. The strange thing about this bamboo piece was that its front end was divided into strips, and now it looked like a brush.

Xu Wenyan mixed chili flakes, salt and lard and brushed it evenly on the mutton. Because mutton contains fat, the oil extracted from these two sheep was enough to fill five bamboo tubes.

The reason why it is chili slices is because there are no grinding tools now. It is already very good to be able to make it like this, and Xu Wenyan is not particular about it.

As it was heated over the fire, the pungent aroma of chili and mutton instantly filled the entire shelter. Of course, wild animals don't like such a pungent smell.

Most of them stay away.

A few little potatoes sat in a row next to Chen Sanlin.

They didn't know when, but their relationship with Chen Sanlin improved. Although Chen Sanlin didn't talk much, the younger ones were no longer afraid of him.

Xu Wenyan also observed that Chen Sanlin liked children. Perhaps because of the trauma of his childhood, he always felt that he was not good at taking care of children, and at the same time he also hated children a little.

Fortunately, the children are all well-behaved. If they were all like Zhou Dabao, Xu Wenyan would make them experience the beatings of society in every minute.

Forced to be well behaved.

The mutton was roasted for more than half an hour. During this time, Xiaohu, Zhou Jianye and Chen Xingjie took turns to ensure that the mutton was heated evenly.

Finally, sprinkle a fatal amount of wild onion slices, and the roasted whole lamb is ready.

"Come here and line up." Xu Wenyan stood beside the big water tank, holding a bamboo tube, waiting for everyone to come and wash their hands.

Ever since Xu Wenyan came, the rule of hand washing has become a must. It is also because of the emphasis on hygiene that no one has hardly gotten sick in the past few months since coming here.

And because I work every day and eat well, my physical fitness naturally improves.

After washing your hands, you can start grabbing them directly. We are all farmers with thick calluses on our hands, so they won’t be that hot.

Just as Xu Wenyan was about to start, Chen Sanlin stopped him: "You are so delicate, I can do it, don't get burned."

Then Chen Sanlin tore off half of Xu Wenyan's hind leg.

"Why did you tear so many pieces? You are such a tiger."

"What's wrong, Brother Xu?" When Xiaohu heard Xu Wenyan calling him Hu, he thought he was calling him. He looked at Xu Wenyan while chewing meat with a hissing sound.

"It's none of your business, eat yours." Xu Wenyan dismissed him with just a few words, and then saw Chen Sanlin tear off another piece and handed it to Rong Xiaoliu.

Seeing this, Xu Wenyan was happy in his heart, and hurriedly helped this big guy who was good at socializing internally and fearful of external socializing, and said: "Xiaoliu, share the food with your brothers and sisters."

"Well, thank you Brother Xu, thank you...thank you Brother Sanlin." After saying this, Rong Xiaoliu felt a little embarrassed.

The other three little ones also thanked the two sweetly.

Chen Sanlin held the lamb leg in his hand and raised it: "I'll hold it, you just eat it."

It is really a pleasure to have someone serving you. Let’s try the mutton. Although it still has some mutton smell, it is not that strong.

It tastes spicy at first, and the skin is crispy and numb on the outside. The juice bursts out when you take a bite. This oily and fragrant feeling makes others enjoy it very much.

Under the moonlight, beside the campfire.

The whole family finished eating a whole lamb with laughter and joy.
