8 Meat Skewers (1/2)
When they reached Yan Xiu's house, it was already dark. Yan Xiu didn't go inside the house, he went straight to the garden. He checked the crops and the livestock, knowing that there was no problem with both, he then watered the crops.
Lu Hao was waiting impatiently, looking at his restless figure Yan Xiu chuckled.
”Go put the wagon in the kitchen, get the charcoal grill from the storage and bring it here.” (MC)
Lu Hao eyes shined brightly when he heard the word ”grill”.
”We're having BBQ?!” (LH)
”Yeah, so bring the grill out already. And don't forget the charcoal. Bring a table too.” (MC)
”I'm on it!” (LH)
Lu Hao walked quickly into the house while pulling the wagon. Lu Hao just passed the door before Yan Xiu called him. Yan Xiu didn't lock his house because even unlocked, there was no one who could enter his house without his permission.
Yan Xiu's papa put up a seal on the house. Anyone who tried to enter the house without permission from Yan Xiu's family would be attacked by the seal. Currently only the Lu family was granted permission.
”Oh, while you're at it, there should be a block of tree in the storage, bring it out and place it there.” (MC)
Said Yan Xiu as he pointed at a spot about 10 meters from him, the same distance as the target practices. Lu Hao was curious but he didn't ask anything, he nodded and went away. He could ask later, right now he should prepare the grill as soon as possible, because tonight was a feast!
When Lu Hao went away, Yan Xiu directed his attention at the crops. After watering them and checking once more, Yan Xiu dug out some of the ripe Thousand-layered onions and went to the kitchen. Dropping the onions in a basin in the kitchen, Yan Xiu went to his room and took of his belt. He placed the belt and whip on the table and left for the kitchen after rubbing the belt once.
Yan Xiu cleaned his hand with cleanse spell before He took a wide basin and put 2.5kg of meat in it, the rest of the meat and bones from the wagon was put inside a chest. It was a big wooden chest and freezing inscription was carved inside it, simply put it was a big ice box.
Yan Xiu first cut the chunk of meat to a thick steak slices before beating it with a small hammer to soften the meat. Then he cut it all to bit size and put it into the basin. Yan Xiu took out some garlic and ginger from the fridge. He crushed the garlic before dicing it to small pieces, the gingers were grated. He put the garlic and ginger into the meat basin with some salt and water.
He mix them together with his hands and let it marinate. Next, he chopped the onions to fairly thick slices and he soaked wooden skewers in water to prevent it from being burned later. Yan Xiu took out 3 jars from the cabinet and put it into the wagon. After that, he also put 2 big jug of cold water, 4 brushes, and some oil into the wagon.
When he turned around, Yan Xiu saw Lu Hao eyeing the meat as if it was a naked beauty with drool threatening to fall from his mouth. Yan Xiu frowned when he saw the state Lu Hao was in. Lu Hao was holding a dirty sack and a block of wood, his whole body was covered with dust and filth.
”Don't come into my kitchen when you're dirty. You're gonna taint the food!” (MC)
Said Yan Xiu as he kicked Lu Hao out of the kitchen.
”Can't I just see it?” (LH)
”Go. Don't bother me, just prepare the grill. I'm almost done.” (MC)
”Don't forget the sauce, ok?” (LH)
”I know.” (MC)
Lu Hao reluctantly left the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, Yan Xiu prepared the skewer. He wanted to let the meat marinate longer but someone would complain later. He put three meats and two onion between on each skewer.
10 minutes later, 70 kebabs were ready. Yan Xiu kept 20 skewers and put it into the fridge, the rest was transferred to a big plate and into the wagon along with two other plates before he pulled the wagon out.
