Chapter 131: Meet You Lan Again
"I'm afraid it's not good."
You Yaokun shook his head: "If you try too hard, you will be inferior."
The room became quiet again.
"Let's wait and see for two days." You Yaokun finally decided: "No need to ask around. We live on the same street, so maybe we'll run into each other. It's better to let things flow naturally."
"Yes."
Having said that, both the grandfather and grandson were thinking about paying more attention to House No. 6.
Huang Mulin and others had a good rest for the afternoon and felt full of energy.
"Mom, let's go shopping?"
When she entered the city, she was attracted by the prosperity of the big city.
"Want to eat outside?"
Yang Lijun asked.
"Uncle Shi, has the kitchen prepared the meal?"
Huang Mulin turned around and asked Butler Shi.
"Reply Miss, it's done."
"Then let's go tomorrow."
In ancient times, there was a curfew, which generally prohibited people from walking around from 1:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. The curfew was lifted after 5:30 a.m. In the past, it was roughly from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., and no one was allowed to walk around the streets.
When they went out after dinner, it was almost the end of the You hour. There were very few pedestrians on the street and many shops were about to close, so there was nothing to visit.
You may even be interrogated by patrolling officials.
Oh~ I miss the midnight snack from my previous life.
Huang Mulin muttered to himself.
But, it seems, you can make it yourself~
Huang Mulin had another little idea.
Yang Lijun looked at her daughter's rolling eyes and knew that she had some new ideas.
"Butler Shi, is there any charcoal fire in the mansion?"
"Yes, the kitchen is well stocked with good charcoal, and there is very little smoke."
"Any more raw meat?"
"We have everything. Pork, lamb, beef, these are all readily available."
"What about vegetarian food? Mushrooms, or eggplant?"
"Maybe." Butler Shi was not sure: "If the young lady needs it now, I will go to the kitchen to look for it."
"You just had your fill, what are you doing?"
He Hui Niang asked.
"Let's have a late night snack later~" Huang Mulin's face was full of anticipation: "Let's have barbecue!"
"barbecue?"
Everyone was confused, but Huang Jinlin was excited.
There's new food!
"Yeah, it's food grilled over charcoal." Huang Mulin explained and described it to them: "A group of people sit around the charcoal fire, roasting and grilling meat, eating and chatting, or drinking."
"Life is wonderful~"
Speaking of drinking, Yu Ze, Lao Wang and Huang Bo's eyes lit up.
"sounds good."
Yang Lijun nodded and said to Butler Shi, "Go see if there is anything Mu Mu wants in the kitchen and prepare it."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Butler Shi, the meat needs to be sliced and marinated. It should be the same thickness and size as usual for cooking. The charcoal fire will be used in about half an hour. Put it in a large pot for roasting fire. When the time is up, take it out with the meat and vegetables."
Huang Mulin called Butler Shi and told him his request.
After Butler Shi took note of it, he went to the kitchen to give instructions.
"Girl, you really know how to make trouble."
He Hui Niang tapped her head lovingly.
"Hehe~ This is a way to make money in the future~ Let's try it out first."
Linhai Town is located in a remote area and the curfew is not strict. Officials rarely patrol the streets, especially in winter, when they stay on duty in the yamen and sleep all night.
The overall atmosphere in Linhai Town is pretty good. Except for the time when there are many people during festivals, few such incidents occur at other times, so the daily work of the officials is relatively easy.
"You, you think about making money all day long. There is no end to making money. You need to give your brain a rest, just like you said before..." He Hui Niang thought for a moment and said, "Overusing your brain will make you stupid."
After saying this, she laughed out loud.
Others also enjoyed it.
"Mother~"
Huang Mulin hugged He Huiniang and acted coquettishly, swaying left and right: "You said I became stupid!"
"Don't talk nonsense." He Hui Niang hugged her to prevent them from falling. "These are your words, not mine."
"Hehe, mother just thinks I've become stupid."
"It's better to be dumber, then you won't have so many small thoughts to worry about."
"Mother~ Mother dislikes me~"
Seeing that the mother and daughter were having fun, Yang Lijun wanted to drag her in.
"Tsk, don't even mention your mother. I think you'll be so stupid in the future that you won't even know east, west, south, or north when you go out."
"Wow! Dad, Mom and Mother bullied me!"
Huang Mulin turned her head to look at her father and found that he was gone.
"Huh? Where's Dad?"
"I followed Steward Shi."
Huang Qilin and others were watching the show from the side, and of course they saw the actions of the people around them clearly.
"Uncle Yu and Uncle Wang went too."
Only the silly Fang Zheng was still there.
"What to do?"
Huang Mulin was a little curious.
"Probably looking for some wine."
Huang Haolin solved the case.
Those three really followed Butler Shi to the kitchen to find wine.
But after they took a sip, they all felt that it was tasteless and could not compare to the Maotai and briefcase rice wine that Huang Mulin brought out.
But it’s better than nothing.
Huang Bo did not dare to drink too much. He just took a few sips, for fear that He Hui Niang would not let him into the room at night.
Yu Ze and Lao Wang didn't care. They held the jars and drank it like water. In fact, it was almost water, and the alcohol concentration was far lower.
"Yeah, I almost forgot!"
Huang Mulin suddenly thought of the fact that there was no barbecue net!
Bamboo skewers are required.
"Fourth brother, go to the kitchen and ask Butler Shi if he has any bamboo sticks, about this long." Huang Mulin gestured to him: "If not, see if there is any bamboo to make."
"Ask Uncle Yu and Uncle Wang to help. I'll treat them to a drink when we get back."
Huang Jinlin went to the kitchen to look for someone as he was told.
"Dad, Uncle Yu, Uncle Wang."
As soon as he walked into the yard of the small kitchen, he saw three people drinking and chatting, while Butler Shi and the cooks were busy.
"Why are you here?"
"Mu Mu said he needed some bamboo sticks."
Huang Jinlin asked the housekeeper Shi and the cook, but they both said no. But there were bamboos, and there was a small bamboo forest in the backyard that could be used.
Yu Ze went to cut a few and came back. Together with Lao Wang, they quickly cut a bunch of bamboo sticks of the same size.
It's great to have martial arts skills~
Huang Jinlin and others were extremely envious.
Huang Jinlin soon finished whittling enough bamboo sticks. He collected them and took them to the kitchen to boil them in boiling water for a quarter of an hour, then took them out to dry. This was the disinfection method Huang Mulin taught him.
When the time was about right, they went to the front yard together with their things.
Huang Bo's smell of alcohol was almost gone.
The charcoal fire was burning brightly and was placed in the middle of the road. Two tables were moved in with meat and vegetable dishes, as well as some small stools that the servants would sit on when they were doing their work.
A group of people started grilling meat around the charcoal fire.
