The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

"So this fruit is called chili pepper! Lin Xi, this will burn your mouth and it's not delicious!" Daya said as she looked at a pot full of small chili peppers.

"This is the first time I've seen this pepper. Can it be eaten?"

Yuanyuan held her little face with both hands, looked at Daya, then at Lin Xi, and said with a conflicted look on her face.

"Hey, isn't this a devil fruit? I saw a large area of ​​them on the mountain! Sister Lin Xi, why did you pick so many devil fruits?"

Goudan was playing with his friends. He just ran past Lin Xi, his eyes caught sight of a pot of red devil fruit, then ran back and asked Lin Xi curiously.

"Goudan, where have you seen chili peppers?"

Lin Xi did not answer Goudan's words, but excitedly grabbed his little arm and asked excitedly.

"So the devil fruit is called chili! There are a lot of them in the forest on the mountain near my home!" Goudan sniffed his nose and nodded his head.

"Goudan, Sister Lin Xi wants to discuss something with you. Go pick these peppers tomorrow. For every pound you pick, I'll give you two cents, okay?"

"I don't want money. Sister Lin Xi always gives me meat to eat. I will go pick some tomorrow and give it to her!"

After Goudan finished speaking, he took a step forward and ran towards his friends, shouting as he ran: "Gousheng, Ermazi, Sanmazi... Let's go help Sister Lin Xi pick the devil fruit tomorrow. Sister Lin Xi said she wants this!"

"Yeah!"

The excited responses of the little friends could be heard from afar.

Sister Lin Xi often gave them delicious food, and now they were very happy to help her pick fruits.

"Sister Lin Xi, is this really edible?"

When Yuanyuan saw Lin Xi asking Goudan and the others to pick peppers for her, she asked again.

"This is delicious when used as a condiment for cooking or grilling. But Yuanyuan, you can't eat it tonight. You're still injured. You can only eat grilled fish and grilled vegetables! You can't eat anything with chili peppers, and you can't eat mutton!"

"Ah? I'm curious about the taste of this chili, and I was thinking of trying it tonight!"

Yuanyuan said while pouting her little mouth.

"Yuanyuan, you can eat after your injury is healed! Look, the kids brought a lot of vegetables and mushrooms from home. The grilled fish is also very delicious. You should eat more of these!" Daya touched Yuanyuan's head and said softly.

Yuanyuan nodded cutely, hoping that her injury would heal quickly.

Leaving the task of pounding the peppers to Daya and Yuanyuan, Lin Xi got up to move stones and build a barbecue table!

At Damazi's house, Chen Damazi's mother was grabbing Damazi's ear and scolding him: "If Lin Xi was a stingy person and cared more about your mouth, she wouldn't have invited all the kids in the village to eat meat! Why are you embarrassed? When Lin Xi invites you to eat meat, you should go quickly. In the future, if Lin Xi needs your help, you should agree quickly without hesitation! This way, we can get closer and closer! Why is our village more harmonious than other villages? It's because the villagers usually help each other! You are really not lively at all, and you are not smart at all. If you are distant with Lin Xi, she will be unhappy!"

It turned out that Chen Damazi felt that his three younger brothers had already gone to Lin Xi's place to eat meat, and if he went there, there would be four people in his family alone, so he felt embarrassed to go!

At this moment, being lectured by his mother who looked disappointed in him, he finally came to his senses and quickly rescued his poor ear from her hand. He ran out and said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go right away! You and Dad make some solid food, don't just drink porridge!"

When Chen Damazi arrived in front of Lin Xi's yard, he saw Chen Youfu and his men lighting a bonfire in the middle of the open space, Chen Qing and a group of people busy cutting bamboo sticks, Chen Yan and a few people holding the cut bamboo sticks to string together skewers, Daya and Yuanyuan and other girls pickling meat and cutting vegetables, Lin Xi and an unfamiliar boy were moving stones, apparently to build a stage, everyone was busy! Lin An led a group of little kids chasing each other and playing...

There were bursts of laughter and joy coming from the open space in front of the yard, which was more lively than the New Year! Looking at this joyous scene, he couldn't help but grin with joy.

"Brother Mazi! You've come just in time, come and help me move the stones and build the barbecue table!"

Lin Xi saw Chen Damazi walking towards him and quickly jumped up and waved to him.

"Hey! Here we come!"

When Damazi heard Lin Xi calling him to work, he became even happier. He ran forward in two or three steps and joined the team moving stones.

A quarter of an hour later, everything was ready. Lin Xi, Daya, Chen Qing, Chen Yan, and Chen Youfu stood behind the five-meter-long barbecue grill and began to grill skewers. Slowly, the aroma began to waft out. The little kids playing in the distance smelled the aroma of meat, shrugged their noses, stopped playing, and ran over here!

They stood in front of the barbecue table, staring at the skewers of meat, smelling the increasingly rich aroma, biting their fingers and drooling!

"Oh my! Brother, you have burnt this side! The other side is not even cooked yet! Go to the side, let me do it!"

Hearing Yuanyuan's voice, everyone looked towards Chen Youfu, and saw Yuanyuan pulling her brother aside with disgust. She stood behind the barbecue table and flipped the skewers skillfully!

Chen Youfu touched his head embarrassedly, saw that everyone was looking at him, and smiled at them.

Seeing his embarrassed look, everyone burst out laughing!

"Here, the lamb skewers are ready. These are not spicy. Give them to the kids first!"

Daya handed a bunch of roasted lamb skewers to Lin An and asked him to share them with the kids. She then took a handful of raw meat skewers and continued to roast them. This time, she roasted some with chili!

"Wow! It's delicious!"

"It smells so good! It smells even better than the pig's head stewed during Chinese New Year!"

"I still want to eat!"

……

A group of little kids sat in front of the barbecue table and ate happily, mumbling that the food was delicious. In a short while, they had finished several skewers of meat, and their little mouths were all greasy.

The older children who hadn't had the skewers yet watched them wolf down the food and drooled.

"I have grilled some spicy lamb kebabs. Come and get them!"

"I've also got some grilled fish and mushrooms!"

"Come on, come on, I have grilled cabbage and spicy grilled fish!"

"If you want non-spicy lamb skewers, come to me!"

The skewers in front of Lin Xi and the other three were ready, and they all called out to the kids to come over and eat!

I saw a long barbecue table full of children, but it was not messy at all. Everyone was holding a few skewers in their hands and eating happily. If they saw that some children didn’t get any, the older children would ask them what they wanted to eat and take the initiative to help them get it.

Lin Xi was gnawing on a large string of lamb skewers, and looking at the kids in front of him eating with such satisfaction on their faces, he felt very happy!
