Chapter 234 Barbecue and Beef?
Chapter 234 Barbecue and Beef?
"Haha, Master Zhang, you mustn't be fooled by Xiao Yundan's mischievous nature."
Zhang Sanfeng asked with a puzzled look, "What do you mean?"
Leng Xiyue turned her head and pretended to scold Yun Dan: "Hurry up and take out the things, we haven't eaten all day..."
Yun Dan rolled her eyes and muttered, "A dignified expert of the Celestial Realm, making a fuss all day without eating? Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're really starving!"
Leng Xiyue glared at Yun Dan and said, "Master Zhang just woke up yesterday, and today he was struck by the lightning whip while helping us get out of the valley. You should at least reward Master Zhang properly!"
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. I can go ten or fifteen days without eating any grains without any problems."
Yun Dan explained, "Junbao, don't misunderstand. Uncle Leng and I are used to joking around like this!"
After saying that, she looked at Leng Xiyue and asked, "What are you planning to eat tonight?"
Looking at the crushed plates, Leng Xiyue had a sudden inspiration and said, "Since all the plates are broken, let's have barbecue tonight!"
Yun Dan's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly, "Great, let's eat barbecue!"
Then she took out various ingredients from her space.
In an instant, the ground was covered with all kinds of meat, including venison, mutton, tiger meat, and rabbit meat.
Finally, she took out a large handful of beef that had already been skewered on bamboo.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at the bunch of beef skewers in her hand and asked curiously, "What kind of meat is this?"
Without even thinking, Yun Dan replied, "Beef!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng gently flicked her forehead with his hand.
"Oh dear, what's wrong?" Yun Dan touched her forehead, looking aggrieved.
"Have you forgotten that I am a Taoist priest? How dare you take out beef?" Zhang Sanfeng said with a hint of reproach.
After Zhang Sanfeng said that, Yun Dan suddenly remembered that Taoists do not eat beef.
She could only stick out her tongue pitifully and weakly say, "Amitabha, as the Buddha said: 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but remain in the heart of the Buddha...' oh dear!"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Sanfeng flicked her forehead again.
Zhang Sanfeng stared at Yun Dan and questioned, "I belong to the Taoist school, what are you talking about Buddhism with me!"
Yun Dan retorted defiantly, "You're also from the Shaolin School, so bringing up Buddhism with you is just nonsense!"
Zhang Sanfeng gave a cold "hmm" and then said, "Aren't you going to put it away!"
Although Zhang Sanfeng doesn't eat beef, it's Yun Dan's favorite food, so how could she bear to put it away?
"No need! Beef is my favorite food!"
When Zhang Sanfeng heard that beef was Yun Dan's favorite food, he didn't say anything more.
Instead, he turned around and walked straight into the newly built house.
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng about to enter the house, Leng Xiyue quickly asked, "Master Zhang, if you don't eat beef, you can eat something else!"
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand and said, "I'm not hungry, you can go and eat!"
Actually, Zhang Sanfeng misunderstood this.
There was no such thing as barbecue in his time.
So they didn't know that barbecue is about grilling and eating different kinds of meat separately.
He thought all the meat was to be roasted together, so he went back to the house alone.
Yun Dan watched Zhang Sanfeng's departing figure, feeling somewhat lost.
"Strange, Junbao isn't supposed to be such a stingy person."
Leng Xiyue smiled and shook her head, "It's alright, Master Zhang might not be used to our way of getting along yet."
Let's prepare the barbecue first, and then send him some other meat later; he'll understand.
Yun Dan took out a new iron frame and a small pile of charcoal from her spatial storage, and the two of them began to get busy.
Leng Xiyue lit the charcoal, while Yun Dan rearranged the other meats and took out some seasonings from her spatial storage.
Soon the charcoal in the iron rack caught fire.
Leng Xiyue placed the meat skewers that Yun Dan had arranged on the plate.
After meeting Yun Dan, Leng Xiyue also fell in love with barbecue.
In particular, the seasonings made by Yun Dan, when sprinkled on the grilled meat, make it incredibly fragrant.
Soon, the aroma filled the air as flames licked the meat skewers, the fat sizzling and releasing an enticing fragrance.
Yun Dan skillfully flipped the meat skewers, sprinkling them with various seasonings, filling the air with a rich aroma.
"Uncle Leng, how's my grilling skill?"
Leng Xiyue smiled and nodded, "Yes, it was only after I met you six years ago that I realized food could be baked to such a delicious aroma."
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying the aroma of barbecue into the house.
Sitting inside the house, Zhang Sanfeng smelled the fragrance and his heart stirred.
He thought to himself, "This tastes quite peculiar; it seems different from what I usually eat."
Just then, Leng Xiyue walked into the house carrying several skewers of roasted mutton.
"Master Zhang, try this barbecue, it tastes really good."
Zhang Sanfeng remained seated on the ground without getting up.
I looked at the roasted meat that Leng Xiyue was carrying in with some curiosity.
"Is this what you're having for tonight? It's quite different from the ingredients I usually see."
Leng Xiyue smiled and placed the plate in her hand in front of Zhang Sanfeng.
“Master Zhang, you should try it first. I just heard Xiao Yundan explain the story behind why Taoists don’t eat beef.”
Yun Dan's grilled meats didn't include any beef; they were all other kinds of meat, and they tasted incredibly delicious.
Zhang Sanfeng explained, "It's alright. I've always been a vegetarian and have no aversion to meat!"
He picked up a skewer and took a small bite.
The tender mutton burst in his mouth, and its unique aroma made his eyes light up.
"Mmm, this flavor is indeed unique, and delicious!"
Seeing this, Leng Xiyue smiled and said, "I'm glad Master Zhang likes it. Although Yun Dan is a mischievous girl, her cooking skills are absolutely top-notch."
Xiao Yundan has always loved beef, and she just forgot for a moment that Master Zhang had this dietary restriction, so please don't mind it too much.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and shook his head. "It's alright, I misunderstood. I thought it meant roasting all the meat together, so..."
Leng Xiyue laughed and said, "I see, Master Zhang. This barbecue involves grilling different kinds of meat separately, and each kind of meat has a unique flavor."
Zhang Sanfeng nodded. "I see. I was indeed ignorant."
As the two were talking, Yun Dan came in carrying several skewers of grilled meat.
"Junbao, isn't the barbecue I grilled absolutely delicious?"
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Yun Dan and smiled, "This barbecue tastes excellent."
Yun Dan laughed happily, "I thought you had given up meat, but I didn't expect you to still be the person I remembered. Come on, let's eat together."
So the three of them enjoyed delicious barbecue and chatted happily in this simple house, and the fatigue of the day gradually dissipated in this warm atmosphere.
