Li Cuihua and a few elderly women of similar age sat in the courtyard, talking as they processed the internal organs of the mutton.
Peng Xiaoshan and a few young girls were chatting while helping the elders.
Some young girls turned their heads to look at Peng Yu, who was doing nothing in the courtyard, and then whispered to each other, bursting into laughter.
Peng Yu walked around the courtyard and felt that she didn't need any help. She moved a stool and sat beside her mother to watch them process the mutton. She also identified the vegetables.
The tools of this era were indeed very outdated. There was only a big pot and a steamer in the kitchen.
It seemed that today's mutton feast was destined to be stewed mutton.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a pile of firewood in the corner of the wall, and a flash of inspiration appeared.
That's right, I can roast mutton. It's not that difficult to operate.
He did as he was told. He looked around the kitchen but could not find a suitable knife.
In the end, he asked Peng Yong to borrow a smaller knife from his neighbor.
He took the knife and a straight stick and started cutting while talking to Li Cuihua.
Today, the Peng family was obviously very happy. Li Cuihua's face was filled with smiles as she talked to her neighbors.
The children quickly discovered Peng Yu. Under Peng Xiaolin's lead, they surrounded her.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Peng Xiaolin looked at Peng Yu with her big round eyes.
"Brother is making skewers. I'm going to make you guys roast mutton." Peng Yu rubbed her nose and said lovingly.
"Roasted mutton? Is it the kind of roasted mutton sold by the Hu people in the southern market?”Peng Xiaolin's eyes lit up.
The little girl was really self-taught when it came to food. When she saw Peng Yu making a barbecue skewer, she could think of roasted mutton. This foodie's attributes were not ordinary.
Peng Yu nodded and continued cutting his skewer.
Upon hearing Peng Yu's words, Peng Yong and the others walked over.
"San Lang, you want to make roast mutton?"
"Yeah, it's just that there's no oven. It's not very convenient." Peng Yu sized up the kitchen and the courtyard. She thought to herself,'If this doesn't work, I can only roast it in the courtyard. I'll get someone to make a simple wooden shelf.'
"That's great, we'll help you. Hai, to be honest, there aren't many people in Changping Lane who have eaten roasted mutton. Usually, when I see those Hu people roasting there, I'm drooling." Peng Yong also took a piece of wood and began to cut it with the kitchen knife in the kitchen, making Peng Yu speechless.
"I'm just missing a wooden shelf. I think I'll have to find a carpenter." Peng Yu directly told them the difficulty.
"San Lang, do you still want to find this carpenter? My father is one!" When Li Daniu heard that, his eyes widened as he looked at Peng Yu.
"Oh, I've been so busy these past two days that I forgot. Haha." Peng Yu's expression turned awkward as she hurriedly covered it up. Then, she told Li Daniu the general shape and requirements of the shelf.
When these guys heard that there was the most delicious roasted mutton, they were all very enthusiastic. Peng Yong snatched the knife from Peng Yu's hand and began to slice it himself.
This time, Peng Yu had nothing to do and could only command them from the side.
At noon, the wooden skewer was cut and the rack was set up. Peng Yu cut a piece of meat from the lamb leg, cut it into small pieces, and skewered it.
Then, he placed the skewered mutton on the rack and started a fire below.
The flames licked the mutton gently, making a sizzling sound. Drops of mutton oil dripped from the mutton, emitting a rich fragrance in the air.
Everyone in the courtyard slowed down. The Peng family was a little better. After all, they had eaten a lot of meat in the past few days and were no longer as attractive.
However, looking at Peng Xiaolin's bright eyes that were staring at the roasted mutton without moving, Peng Yu finally understood how attractive the roasted meat was to these people.
Many people were a little absent-minded. From time to time, they would turn their heads to look at the grilling meat.
One could imagine how ugly these people would look at the mutton feast at night.
There were almost no condiments. There was no need to think about cumin. There was no chili powder, only thick green salt.
Peng Yu sprinkled salt on the meat, and the first batch of roasted meat was completed.
Under everyone's gaze, Peng Yu handed the first skewer to Li Cuihua, then to Second Father Li, and the remaining skewers to the elders.
Li Cuihua stared at the skewer of roasted meat in front of her and gently bit into it. In an instant, her eyes lit up.
When the few people beside him saw this scene, they also hurriedly ate the meat skewers, smacking their lips as they ate.
When Peng Yu saw this, she was really speechless. This was roasted mutton without cumin and chili noodles, and you guys could eat it like this. If the condiments were complete, wouldn't you guys be so beautiful?
In the evening, the neighbors on this street came to the Peng family's house one after another. The entire small courtyard suddenly became lively.
Peng Yu hadn't seen such a scene for a long time. In his memory, he had only seen such a big scene in his later life when he held a red and white event at his relatives 'house in the countryside.
The Peng family's tables, chairs, and cutlery were not enough to support this banquet. Peng Yu wanted to buy some, but she was stopped by Peng Yong and the others.
The Peng family didn't need to say anything. Other neighbors had already moved their tables and chairs over. They even brought their bowls and chopsticks over. These people even marked their bowls and chopsticks so that they wouldn't be confused when the time came. This made Peng Yu very emotional.
As for the trouble of having a stove that didn't have time to cook, it was even easier to solve. He could just divide the meat and vegetables among a few families. After all, it wasn't a very delicate dish.
