Then he sighed and said, "I heard that Dr. Zhao's family bought a sheep today. Just because Gu Zhiqing wanted to eat roasted lamb, Dr. Zhao bought a sheep directly."

He wants to eat roast lamb too!

Cao Chengcai glanced at Cao Dongnan and saw that his eyes were always on the khaki casserole, and then he looked at his glowing eyes.

I don’t know if it was because the fire in the stove was too bright, but it made his eyes incredibly bright.

No one knew what Cao Chengcai was thinking. He looked down at the ashes on the ground in a daze.

Cao Dongnan was just sighing casually. He thought it was great to be able to eat rice porridge today. It was just that when he smelled the fragrance, he suddenly thought of what he saw today.

After a long while, the porridge was finally ready. The extra firewood was taken out and the casserole was placed on the stove.

I took an iron pot, poured some water into it, and covered it directly with a lid.

The charcoal underneath can boil water for them to drink or use for bathing.

After dividing the porridge into two parts, the two of them ate quickly without even lighting a candle. These days, everything required a ticket.

They didn't have these tickets, so of course they had very little money and not much food, and they had to save their money to buy food.

Fortunately, both of them were already accustomed to the darkness and could see a vague outline.

After finishing the porridge, the water was almost gone. In order to save water, they used a bucket of water to wash their feet, and then collected the rest and put it in a tea bucket for drinking tea, so they could drink the water directly when the time came.

Everyone is used to drinking boiled water. Although raw water is also drunk, that is in the summer when we drink spring water. At home, especially in winter, we are more accustomed to drinking boiled water.

Before going to sleep, Cao Dongnan opened his eyes and asked Cao Chengcai: "Dad, will grandma come back?"

"Yes!" Cao Chengcai said affirmatively. He knew too well the resentment his brothers and sisters had towards Huang Cuicui.

Not to mention what happened in his family, who would be willing to take her home?

When Cao Dongnan heard what Cao Chengcai said, he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep, even though his grandmother had often coaxed him before.

She even beat him, but because he was a boy, Huang Cuicui said harsh words but actually often gave him food.

It was such a cold day, and he was actually a little worried about Huang Cuicui, but Huang Cuicui had run away from home before, and he had looked for her before.

This time he suddenly disappeared again. Although I was worried for a moment, I quickly forgot about it.

But Gu Wan couldn't sleep at this time. In the afternoon, Zhao Congyi got a sheep from somewhere.

Thinking that she wanted to eat roasted lamb, he asked someone to kill a sheep, processed it, gave some of the meat to the person, and especially saved the lamb thigh, preparing to roast it and eat it later.

As for the others, some were coated with a layer of salt and hung in the firewood room, and then smoked and eaten directly.

The remaining part is coated with a layer of salt and hung in the kitchen so that it can be eaten whenever you want.

Once all these are done, you can start preparing the roasted lamb. The weather is quite cold today, but fortunately it didn't rain.

But these days, everyone is short of meat. If we really roast it in the yard, what if some children cry out of greed?

Besides, Gu Wan was the shy type, so in order to avoid trouble, the two of them decided to roast it in the firewood room.

Two sticks as thick as arms were hammered into both sides of the fire pit that had been built earlier.

The bottom of the stick was specially sharpened, and the ground was mud, so it was easy to knock it in.

There was a Y shape on the top of the stick, and then he took out an iron stick, which Zhao Congyi had specially found, and inserted it directly into his leg.

The stick was very long, and Zhao Congyi even took a towel and turned the stick to make it more evenly baked.

The seasonings here are very limited. They are basically picked from the mountains or grown, such as chili peppers, soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, sesame seeds, honey and the like.

Compared with later generations, it is naturally much worse.

In order to make the taste better, Gu Wan decided to roast it herself, and Zhao Congyi controlled the heat. She fried half a star anise, a small piece of cinnamon and a dozen bay leaves until they were very dry in advance.

Then put it into the grinding trough and grind it into powder. Of course, this step needs to be done by Zhao Congyi himself. This is a test of arm strength and it takes a long time to grind it into fine powder.

Gu Wan took advantage of this time to fry the peanuts and sesame seeds, and gave them to Zhao Congyi when they were fragrant. She then took a handkerchief to wrap the peach cake, and took a stick to hit it hard, trying to break it into pieces.

She had seen a seasoning recipe before that seemed to be almost like this. Of course, the spices were definitely not star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., but there was no other way. The materials were limited, so this was the only way.

After mixing all the ground powder together, he added a little salt and took out the bamboo brush that he had asked Wu the bamboo craftsman to make.

This brush is the same as a girl's powder brush, except that it is made entirely of bamboo.

The front was made of bamboo strips, and then Wu the bamboo craftsman used some unknown method to split each strip into very thin pieces.

She got the inspiration from the brush used for scrubbing pots. This is a smaller size, so of course it is more difficult to use.

I have to say, I really admire the craftsmen of that time, they are truly amazing.

First brush a layer of oil on the mutton, and when tiny bubbles begin to appear on the meat, brush it with two more layers of honey. When the meat begins to turn brown, immediately brush the prepared soy sauce water on it.

When the meat starts to turn burnt red and even cracks in some places, then slowly sprinkle the previously ground powder on it with your hands.

In order to spread the seeds evenly, she spread them while Zhao Congyi turned.

Zhao Cong looked up from time to time to see Gu Wan's focused expression, and his eyes slowly turned to her flat belly, his eyes were soft.

Gu Wan was concentrating on spreading the dipping sauce when she suddenly felt something in her heart. She turned her head and saw Zhao Congyi:

"What do you see me doing?"

"I didn't look at you that day? Is that strange?" Zhao Congyi chuckled. Gu Wan bit her lip, turned her eyes away and continued to look at her roasted leg of lamb.

"You're going to be a father soon, why are you still talking like that? Aren't you afraid of corrupting your child?"

Zhao Cong raised his eyebrows nonchalantly and began his nonsense:

"That's perfect. If it's a daughter, after seeing a father like me, she won't be easily deceived by some boys in the future. If it's a son, I can teach him how to take good care of his mother!"

It seems there is nothing wrong with this?

"So do you like boys or girls more?"

"Everything is fine!" Zhao Congyi said casually. Gu Wan put down the things in her hand. They were almost all scattered. They just needed to be toasted for a while before they could start eating.

There were not many fruits in winter, but Zhao Congyi went to great lengths to ensure that she could have fruits at any time.

Sometimes she would doubt that his family was well-off and he often did some business. Wasn't it just for the convenience of her mouth so that she could eat whatever she wanted?
