Chapter 111: Kebabs

The four soldiers who left also returned one after another, and got back a bundle of bamboo sticks, a wooden rack, as well as a charcoal basin and charcoal, and a few small bamboo tubes with holes.

Chen Xu checked it, and felt that it was barely suitable, so he put salt, mustard powder, and pepper powder into a few small bamboo tubes, plugged the cork and tried to shake it a few times, and found that it was similar to the seasoning bottle used for barbecue in later generations, so he ordered a few to work together, put the pickled mutton on the bamboo skewers, and put three pieces of meat on a stick, and thirty catties of mutton wore nearly three hundred strings, basically busy for another hour, and after a little rest, he took everything to the south of the city.

The family of the owner of the foot shop looked at each other.

"Dad, what are they going to do?" The girl looked at the backs of several people with great curiosity.

"How do I know?" The shopkeeper shook his head frustratedly.

"Erlang, they haven't paid for this meat yet! I also took away a few large clay pots from our house. The woman couldn't help but remind.

"What are you worried about, what are you looking at?" The shopkeeper took out a beautiful jade pendant from his arms.

"Wow, what a beautiful jade pendant, Daddy, where did you get this?" The girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim.

"Hehe, this is what the little Lidian lord bet on me just now, if they don't come to pay back tomorrow, this jade pendant will belong to us!" The shopkeeper said proudly.

"I think you're dizzy, this jade pendant is worth at least a few thousand dollars, you plan to take a few catties of mutton down, and bring it to me and you for safekeeping, if it is broken by your rough hands, I'm afraid we can't afford to pay it for a year!" The woman quickly wiped her hands off her apron and said.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you for safekeeping!" The shopkeeper smiled and handed the jade pendant to his mother-in-law.

"Dad, I want to go and see!" The girl looked at the fact that she was already walking away and couldn't see it, but she couldn't help but say curiously.

"Okay, you go, San'er will go with you, see what this little Lidian master wants to do, remember not to be discovered by them!" The shopkeeper was also very happy to get the jade pendant at this time.

"Huh~" The girl agreed, happily pulling a teenager and running out.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and although the sun was still strong, the streets were still bustling with people.

Under the leadership of a few soldiers, Chen Xu and others carried the wooden frame charcoal basin all the way to the south of the city, passed through several streets, and soon came to an empty field, surrounded by a two-story wooden building, and there was a platform with a soil and stone structure in the center, and there were wooden railings and wooden frames on it, and there were more people around the cattle and sheep, and a group of people gathered together, all kinds of noise were endless, and the noise looked like a big market, and from time to time there would be three or five soldiers wearing cloth armor and carrying swords to walk by.

"Lord Lidian, this is the Chengnan Market, where free trade is allowed, and there will be dog fights and even wrestling every day, and sometimes there will be beast fighting, which is very lively!" The soldier who led the way said excitedly.

"Those who get together are in the game?" Chen Xu pointed to the crowd gathered together and asked.

"Exactly! But it's still too hot, and it seems that it will be even more lively in half an hour! A soldier nodded hurriedly.

Chen Xu looked around, and finally pointed to an empty space more than ten meters away from the wooden platform and said, "Let's go, let's put things there!" ”

Although the four soldiers still didn't know what Chen Xu was doing with a large bunch of bamboo skewers and mutton, judging from the charcoal basins and charcoal prepared, it was estimated that they were brought to eat.

But it's just to watch the excitement, but I want to get thirty catties of mutton, and I can't finish it tomorrow morning!

Under Chen Xu's command, several soldiers put everything in place, put the mutton in two large clay pots, and the charcoal basins on the wooden frame.

"Hurry up and light the charcoal fire and get ready to get started!" Chen Xu was also a little impatient, he had to turn these mutton skewers into money as soon as possible, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get the money out tomorrow, and the jade pendant worth thousands of dollars would not come back.

However, although Chen Xu seems to be confident, he is actually quite apprehensive in his heart, I don't know if the people of Nanyang County love to eat mutton skewers, if the ancient people didn't like skewers...... Then!

The ground near the market was littered with discarded hay crumbs, and a few soldiers brought back a pile of them, and soon set the charcoal basin on fire, and then poured some charcoal, and one of the soldiers fanned wildly with his sleeve, and as the smoke rolled up, the grass clippings burned, and the charcoal in the charcoal basin was also ignited.

Chen Xu took a deep breath to calm down, then picked up a handful of mutton skewers and spread them out on the charcoal basin, and under the charcoal fire, soon a strange meat fragrance mixed with green onions, ginger and garlic mustard emanated.

Because these muttons are half fat and half lean, so the fat is sufficient, and after a few minutes, as Chen Xu keeps turning and grilling, a layer of golden red grease comes out of the surface of the meat skewers, and it continues to drip into the charcoal basin.

"Puff~" The moment the grease fell on the charcoal fire, a more intense fragrance emanated and spread in the wind.

In fact, since the arrival of Chen Xu and a few people, a bunch of strange things have been seen by others, but everyone didn't pay much attention to it, there are too many miscellaneous things in this market, and various trading activities are endless, they just think that Chen Xu and others are just playing some tricks, and there are four soldiers wearing cloth armor next to them, so they don't dare to come over to ask.

But at this time, as the lamb skewers are gradually cooked, the strong aroma suddenly makes some people unable to resist the temptation.

And the most important thing is that people in this era eat two meals a day, and at this time, there is still more than an hour before the food, and they eat early in the morning, and almost everyone is hungry at this time, and some people may eat some snacks and dry food to satisfy their hunger, but most people are still hungry.

Smelling the strong smell of barbecue wafting in the air, everyone suddenly felt hungry and weak, and couldn't walk.

"Incense, it's really incense, my lord...... I...... Can I eat a bunch first! ”

The four soldiers were already stimulated by the smell, and their eyes were as wide as bull's eyes looking at the smoking barbecue, and their mouths kept swallowing saliva.

"Want to eat?" Chen Xu smiled.

"Uh-huh!" The four soldiers nodded desperately as they wiped Halazi.

"Okay, how about you try my craft first?" Chen Xu put five of the strings out separately, and then asked, "Do you want to be spicy?" ”

"To~"

"Don't~"

The four soldiers each answered differently, Chen Xu picked up a few small bamboo tubes filled with salt mustard and pepper powder, shook them lightly on a few skewers of meat, and flipped and roasted them for half a minute, and handed them to the four soldiers respectively.
