Lin Xiaoman gestured about the size, and Lin Dawu built two barbecue pits, one large and one small, one for roast chicken, lamb legs and lamb chops, and one for grilled lamb skewers and vegetable skewers.

After the bricks are built, firewood is burned inside to dry them.

The lamb and chicken were ready over there. Lin Xiaoman cut the whole chicken open from the belly without cutting the back, and applied the marinade dissolved in water. Once the marinade was done, he could skewer it on wicker sticks and put it on the fire to grill. .

She has never eaten this Orleans-style roast chicken, but she has eaten roast chicken necks. It tastes sweet and spicy and delicious.

After giving a good demonstration, let Shen Guihua get started. Shen Guihua is also used to doing the work, and she does it well.

Cut off the mutton suitable for barbecue and cut it into pieces, add salt and five-spice powder and mix well, then add some mutton fat pieces and skewer them on bamboo skewers.

The lamb legs and lamb chops are also marinated with salt and five-spice powder, and then grilled on the stove after the chicken is roasted.

Lin Xiaoman didn't care about the heads, hoofs and internal organs. Lin Dawu had people pack them up and put them in the big pot together with the mutton bones. Lu Jin and his party didn't want to eat these, so they could keep them for the helpers.

Not long after, the aroma of meat wafted from Lin Daqiang’s yard.

When someone brought the fish over, Lin Xiaoman asked Mistress Hao and Mistress Hao to continue skewering meat, and she began to teach Shen Guihua and Lin Xiangxing how to grill chicken.

Two tree forks were inserted on both sides of the brick oven, and the roasted chicken racks skewered with wicker were turned over.

Every once in a while, you also need to brush on a little chicken fat that has been boiled from the chicken. The smell is simply fragrant.

Lu Jin has been inspecting various villages and towns in the county in the past few days. Qingshu cannot always be allowed to go back to the county to buy food. Even the best meals in ordinary people's homes are difficult for him to eat.

So when he learned that the Hedong Village he was going to inspect today was the village where Lin Xiaoman lived, he was full of expectations. He asked Qingshu to go to the hot pot chicken restaurant to call Lin Xiaoman, but who knew that she didn't go to the store today, and happened to Lin Daqiang, the patriarch of Hedong Village, was called to avoid having to send people into the city to look for him when he arrived in the village.

Having eaten too much chicken recently, he wanted to try the fish cooked by Lin Xiaoman. The girl didn't know whether she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. Anyway, he was in a bad mood last morning.

But when I was about to return to Lin Daqiang's house, my bad mood suddenly turned cloudy and sunny.

"What are you doing in front? It smells so good?"

Lin Daqiang smiled honestly, "Sir, I don't know, it was all done by my niece herself."

Lu Jin ran briskly towards the direction where the scent came from. Everyone behind him looked at each other. They were all worried that there was no one in their village who could cook well. How would they entertain the little county magistrate in the future?

Lin Xiaoman had already received the news and was busy putting all the ingredients on the oven.

When the group was let into the room, there were already two tables set up in the room, one for Lu Jin and the accompanying squire, and one for Qing Shu and the official servants.

Soon the roast chicken and mutton skewers were served on the table, and Shen Guihua and her daughter were still clumsily continuing the roasting.

With a sizzling sound, hot oil was poured on the minced garlic and chili pepper, and Lin Xiaoman's boiled fish was also out of the pot.

Lu Jin had never eaten like this in his whole life. Looking at the not-so-looking lamb legs, lamb chops, meat skewers and roast chicken on the table, he didn't know where to start. It was Lin Xiaoman's turn who had been taught how to eat it. Dawu comes on stage.

"Sir, you can just eat the meat skewers. The boiled fish is topped with hot oil and is a bit hot. This grilled chicken is my niece's secret recipe. Can you like it if you try it?"

As he said that, he picked up a torn chicken leg and put it in Lu Jin's bowl.

Lu Jin picked it up and took a sip, then raised his eyebrows and said, "This taste is quite novel. Let's try it too."

When everyone saw him eating, they reservedly picked up the dish they liked with their chopsticks. They were even more surprised than Lu Jin when they tasted it. This was not just a novelty, it was simply a delicacy in the world.

If they hadn't dared to be bold in front of Lu Jin, they would all have wanted to use whirlwind chopsticks.

Lu Jin has no scruples, eating fish and skewering skewers, but the way he eats is more elegant than others. This is probably because he is good-looking and everything he does is pleasing to the eye.

Qingshu came in from the outside and brought a platter of roasted beans, roasted mushrooms, roasted leeks, and roasted cabbage. He placed it in front of Lu Jin. Lu Jin looked disgusted and waved his hand: "Take it away! Take it away!"

Qingshu whispered: "This is roasted specially for the master by the little shopkeeper. She said that eating too much meat will make you angry, so she asked the master to eat more vegetables."

Lu Jin stopped waving his hand in mid-air, struggled for a moment before taking the plate of grilled vegetables, and reluctantly took a bunch of grilled mushrooms and put them into his mouth.

There was a special aroma in the mouth. Lu Jin immediately relaxed his eyebrows and could not see any reluctance. Then he tasted the other several kinds. Although the taste was different, they were all delicious.

However, he still likes to eat meat more. Women should like this kind of grilled vegetables more.

There was also the one that had a rich red sauce but insisted on ordering boiled fish. It was so spicy that it made me sweat, but I couldn’t help but eat three big bowls of it one after another.

The food was in full swing inside, and Lin Dawu came out from time to time to convey the battle situation inside.

Lin Xiaoman and the others outside were also busy. In addition to constantly adding vegetables to the inside, they also baked some for themselves.

Lin Xiaoman's baked honey steamed bun slices and grilled vegetables have received unanimous praise from women, while men prefer to eat barbecue. Although they are all leftovers, no one will dislike the bad meat.

Qingshu didn't go into the house to eat. He moved a bench and sat across from Lin Xiaoman, helping her bake while eating.

While eating, he praised Lin Xiaoman in various ways. Lin Xiaoman, who was so praised, just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. In the end, he could only stuff Qingshu with skewers one after another, just hoping. The food can block his mouth.

When the barbecue was almost finished, Lin Dawu brought another large pot of mutton and mutton soup in. Lin Xiaoman added chopped green onion, coriander, and a handful of chili noodles, and asked Lin Dawu to bring in a bowl of vinegar.

Whoever eats it will add it themselves.

After eating and drinking, Lu Jin went out with satisfaction, followed by a group of people with round bellies.

When passing by Lin Xiaoman, Lu Jin nodded slightly to her again, "The little shopkeeper is good at cooking. Have you ever thought about selling boiled fish and meat skewers in the city?"

Lin Xiaoman also smiled and replied, "I haven't thought about the boiled fish for the moment. My aunt will go to the city to sell the meat skewers in a few days, and the county magistrate will come to support me."

"Very good! Very good!" Lu Jin was even more satisfied this time, with a smile on his face, "I hope the shopkeeper will not forget me if he comes up with delicious food in the future."

"I will definitely deliver it to the county government myself when I arrive."

Lu Jin gave Lin Xiaoman a "you're fine" look before stepping out of Lin Daqiang's yard.

Qingshu walked behind, and before going out, he handed Lin Daqiang a piece of official silver, "Thank you, Chief Lin, for your hospitality today. This is my meal money for today."

How dare Lin Daqiang accept it? He hurriedly declined: "What's the point? It's our village's honor for you to come to our village. How can you pay for a meal? No, no, I can't have it."

But Qingshu stubbornly threw him into his arms, "My master is not a corrupt official. How can he not pay for meals at people's homes? If you don't accept it, you just want to trap my master into being unkind and unjust."<
