"Sister Rou Er, why are you so happy?" Fang Dashi was curious when he saw Wen Rou smiled so sweetly.
"Father had gone to sleep. I will cook something for all of you!" Wen Rou giggled as she got up.
Yuan Zi took some peanuts and drank some wine as he said, "Sister Rou Er, forget it! Even if you want to cook for us, you need to have ingredients right. Look around you, the kitchen is totally empty. There is nothing there to cook!"
"Sister Rou Er, we are thankful for your kind thoughts. In future, I will treat you instead!" Xiao Wu patted his chest.
Wen Rou was surprised. She looked around and saw the food had been totally cleared. She could not help feeling annoyed, "Father, you are too stingy! How could you keep all the ingredients! The kitchen is cleaner than the bedroom!"
Suddenly, Wen Rou's gaze stopped near the roof. Hanging on the roof was a bamboo container. She could see some dried sausages hanging of the container.
He had hanged in a high location to prevent rats from eating it. But he had forgotten to keep that.
"I got an idea! Let's eat that!" Wen Rou pointed at the bamboo container and smiled.
In her past life in the capital, on a winter day, Wen Rou have noticed a group of beggars sitting around by a fireplace in an abandoned temple as they roasted the sausages. The smell of these sausages was very mouth-watering!
"Let me help!" Fang Dashi is the tallest among the five of them. He climbed on top a stool, and jumped. With a single leapt, he easily grabbed the container and pulled it down from the roof.
Inside the container were two long strings of sausages!
It is a mixture of red and white, and look fatty and skinny. But as trainee chefs, everyone knew that if they used it an ingredient it is a superb food. Be it cut into bits, or added with some seasoning and pan fried, this is extremely delicious. It is doubly so when accompanied with wine!
Everyone looked at the sausages and immediately swallowed their saliva.
"Aiya…." Er Gou sighed.
"What are you sighing for? We will soon have meat to eat!" Yuan Zi knocked Er Gou on his head.
"Eat? You eat shit, arh? There is no firewood! You try eating the frozen hard sausages!" Er Gou was usually very nice, but today he was very angry.
After listening to Er Gou, everyone looked around. There is not a single piece of firewood. There is no need to ask, everyone knew that Wen Shouzhen must have kept them already.
"Looks like chef Wen is a very careful man! How come he is not so careful in Drunken Immortal Restaurant?" Xiao Wu cried out in annoyance.
"Xiao Wu!" Wen Shouzhen is Fang Dashi's Shifu and Fang Dashi does not like it when Xiao Wu criticise his Shifu. Although his Shifu is indeed a miserly man, Xiao Wu should not have criticised his Shifu in front of him. Also, Wen Rou is here!
"Everyone, do not worry, I have an idea!" Wen Rou looked around and saw the flint stones were still there. Then she suddenly comes up with a plan on the spot.
Everyone looked at Wen Rou blankly. How is she going to heat up the frozen sausages without any firewood?
"Everyone, come with me. We cannot cook here. Brother Xiao Wu, you take the candle. Brother Shi Tou, you take the sausages, Brother Er Gou, you take these flint stones. Brother Yuan Zi, you carry this jar of wine. Let's go!" Wen Rou immediately divided the work, and all 5 of them made their way to the wood cutting room.
The woodcutting room in Wen Family house is not just used to store firewood. It is a huge storeroom as well.
Normally whatever they seldom use are all stuffed into this storage room.
Xiao Wu hold on to the candle and provide light for everyone. In the storeroom, they found a pack of bamboo sticks, an iron trough, and some charcoal.
Wen Rou's face lit up and seems to turn red under the glow of the candlelight. Her big eyes seemed to lit up with delight and form a plan as she considered what they had.
"Brother Shi Tou, help to cut these charcoal block into smaller pieces and place them in the iron trough. Brother Xiao Wu, please help to fan and start a fire in the trough. First, use the candle and see if you can light smaller pieces of charcoal. If it runs out, then you use the flint stones! Brother Yuan Zi, help to skewer all the sausage with the bamboo sticks. Brother Er Gou, come with me!" Wen Rou immediately divided the work and took Er Gou out. The boys did not know what Wen Rou is planning, but still, they try their best to complete the tasks that she had assigned to them.
"Sister Rou Er, we are…." Er Gou was standing outside in the courtyard and wondering what Wen Rou had in mind.
"Brother Er Gou, please help me dig a hole over here!" Wen Rou looked at the entrance and looked the wall. Then she decided on a spot in the middle of the garden, and used her hands to draw a circle under the snow.
"Dig a pit?" Er Gou was stunned by this strange request.
Hehe, tonight we are making good food in the storeroom. After that, we need to hide all our evidence. The best way to do that is to bury them. In future, if we need them again, we can dig them out. Therefore, hehe, I have to trouble a big, strong man like you, Brother Er Gou. You must dig a large pit!" Wen Rou immediately came up with a big excuse.
"Oh, no worries, you can count on me!" Er Gou did not think much, and he found a spade in the storeroom. Then he immediately begins to shovel.
"Brother Er Gou, do your best. I will definitely cook more delicious food for you, and will call you when I finished cooking!" Wen Rou sweetly smiled at Er Gou, and left.
Poor Er Gou was digging a large pit by himself in the backyard…. And he was hard at work.
Within the storeroom, everyone had completed the task the Wen Rou assigned to them.
"All right, now leave the rest to me!" Wen Rou saw that the charcoal had been lit and the sausages had been skewer and she was pleased. She picked up the sausages from Yuan Zi.
Everyone was curious, and crowd around to take a look.
Wen Rou used the bamboo sticks to poke the charcoal and move them to one side. Only the hot charcoals that were hot and burning remains on one side.
At this moment, Wen Rou used her hands to move the bamboo sticks and grilled the sausages on top of the hot charcoal. The scene of the red and white sausage, mixed with the fatty and lean meat, with the oily skin was very appetising to look at.
The sausages were placed on the metal trough and constantly expand due to the heat, and it even made a sizzling sound.
Wen Rou expertly handled the sausage. When the oil of the sausage leaked out, she would rub the oil against another stick of sausage. In this way, as soon as the fat is drained, the pores seep through to the perforated meat of the next sausage.
Small bubbles appeared on the sausage casings, and more oil ooze out when the bubbles burst. Wen Rou would occasionally poke the bubbles with the sharp end of the bamboo stick so that the oil will ooze out and the sausage will not have large bubbles on its skin. She also gently rotated the bamboo skewers as she grilled the sausages.
Under the charcoal fire, Wen Rou continuously grilled each sausage and flipped them over so that they will not be overburned. In a short while, the aroma of the sausage effused out in all directions.
Everyone sat around Wen Rou. Their gazes were focused on the sausages. They were licking their lips and swallowing their saliva. Under the light of the charcoal fight, you could almost see the word, "Hungry" written on their foreheads.
This type of cooking method is quite new and refreshing. If not for the fact that Wen Rou is still grilling the sausages, the boys would have rushed up and begin to devour the sausages - regardless of if it is ready for consumption or not.
Yuan Zi's saliva drooled out of a corner of his mouth. His eyes were focused on the sausage in Wen Rou's hand. He is a quick thinking man, and he calculated: There are 13 sausages. If they spilt the sausages equally among the five of them, there are not enough to divide it into 3 sausages for each of them. But if each of them has only 2 sausages, there are some left over. How are they going to divide these sausages? Later he must not lose out and take 3 sausages!
"Brother Yuan Zi, please call Er Gou to come in! The sausages are almost ready." Wen Rou voiced sounded out and woke Yuan Zi from his calculations.
At this moment, Er Gou had finished digging a pit. He kept the shovel, and placed some grass on top. After they have buried everything, he will refill this hole.
When Er Gou comes in, the sausages are finally ready. The charcoal fire had already gone out. Fang Dashi pour the wine from the jar into the bowls, and each of them has a bowl of wine in their hands. But they did not drink the wine and were staring intensely at the sausages.
Looking at them, Wen Rou just sighed in her heart, "What a bunch of gluttons!" She divided the sausages so that all the boys have 3 sticks each, while she only had 1.
Everyone would blow the sausage occasionally to cool it, as they carefully bite it.
The taste is very delicious. Outside it is a bit salty, but the inside is soft and tender. When you take another bite, the oil oozes out of the sausage. The fatty part of the sausage is a bit greasy but complements well with the lean part of the sausage. The end result is a taste that makes everyone craved for more. The boys ate so fast they almost bite their tongues.
"Oh, it is super tasty! Hot! Delicious!" All the praises come, fast and furious.
Just when everyone's mouths were covered with grease, suddenly there were some sounds ringing out from the shorter walls of the Wen Family home…..
Hehe, you-know-who have arrived, and it is not Lord Voldemort! With 4 big boys by her side, you-know-who is in for a nasty surprise! Join us at prosperous food dot com tomorrow as we excitedly find out how Wen Rou taught you-know-who a lesson.
