Chapter 136: Tie you, the robe thief!
A barbecue grill was set up in the yard.
Since it was Brother Nan who suggested eating barbecue, she was very diligent.
First, he washed the large basin of vegetables picked by the Monkey King, then ran to get the pork belly, chicken wings, ham, etc. that Li Mu had already cut and marinated and brought them to the table one by one, filling them up around the barbecue grill.
“Start grilling!”
Brother Nan unscrewed a bottle of Erguotou, poured himself a glass, and began to spread the fat and lean pork belly neatly on the net, trying to maximize the use of the area so that he could grill more slices and enjoy a satisfying meal at one time.
"Why are you drinking Erguotou?" Although he doesn't drink liquor, Li Mu knows that there is definitely several levels of difference between Moutai and Erguotou.
"I finished drinking it a long time ago."
Brother Nan took out his phone and took a photo of the barbecue. "I can't bear to spend thousands of dollars on Moutai. I'll go to my dad's piggy bank and get a couple of bottles when I get home."
"That's it."
Li Mu felt sorry for Brother Nan’s father, whom he had never met, for two seconds.
"I heard that the price of pork outside is starting to go up." Brother Nan turned the barbecue over.
"Yes." Li Mu nodded. He had also seen the news.
"We have pork freedom." Brother Nan looked at the table full of pork belly with a happy face.
Maybe because there are many wild animals here at Li Mu's place, including rare animals like the Siberian tiger, the province allocates him a sum of food expenses every month.
Recently, the Lingchun City Government also gave him an extra subsidy. After adding them all together, the cost is very considerable, and the various supplies sent are also more abundant than before.
Li Mu thought about it carefully and it seemed that the subsidy arrived not long after Mayor Yu came to his courtyard last time.
I guess Mayor Yu is also an animal lover.
After eating some fruit, the pork belly on the grill was already golden on both sides, bubbling with oil and emitting white smoke under the light.
The cat squatted on the table, stretched its neck to look, sniffed its little nose, and a drop of crystal water seeped out of the corner of its mouth.
A group of animals were also sitting around the table, their eyes, big and small, fixed on the grill.
Brother Nan put the meat that had been roasted on the net onto the plate and put another layer of pork belly on the net.
"Feed it to them, let them taste the meat grilled by Brother Nan." said Brother Nan.
The first plate was roasted wild boar meat without any marinating, which was specially roasted for the animals to taste.
Li Mu picked up a piece, blew it cool and put it in the kitten’s own small porcelain bowl.
After the remaining food has cooled down a bit, it is distributed to the animals one by one.
The tiger mom, the she-wolf, and the golden eagle couple ate a few slices and then went aside to nibble on the raw wild boar meat that Li Mu had prepared for them.
Raw meat tastes better to them.
The cubs ate the meat with relish because they had not eaten much raw meat.
After feeding the animals, the marinated pork belly is ready to be grilled on the grill.
Brother Nan took a piece of barbecue and dipped it in the dipping sauce, then wrapped it in a piece of lettuce and handed it to Li Mu: "Try it."
Li Mu took it and put it in his mouth. The combination of cool lettuce and hot grilled meat gave a wonderful feeling.
Brother Nan likes spicy and sour food, so the dipping sauce is made with lemon juice and chili peppers. After eating it a few times, Li Mu also liked the taste.
"Delicious!" Li Mu puffed his lips and said vaguely.
"That's right, you don't even know who Lao Jiang is!" Brother Nan grinned and also wrapped a piece to eat.
Barbecue is eaten slowly because it has to be eaten while it is being grilled.
But tonight the wind is clear and the moon is bright, time passes slowly, and they are not in a hurry at all.
The kitten was squatting on the table to eat, then it lay on the table to eat, and after eating for a while, it lay on the table and wagged its tail, its belly was round and it couldn't eat any more. Li Mu also put down his chopsticks, only Brother Nan was still eating a meat wrap with lettuce, and then sipped a glass of wine, still enjoying his meal.
The bottle of Erguotou has been half finished.
Li Mu's eyes unconsciously glanced at Brother Nan's head. Blown by the wind, the tuft of silly hair kept nodding, as if greeting him, very politely.
After saying "you too" to Daimao in his heart, Li Mu looked down.
I saw Brother Nan pick up a large lettuce leaf, which was still covered with water droplets and looked fresh and green. He picked up three pieces of meat, dipped them in lemon water, and with the help of chopsticks, skillfully wrapped them into a circle and swallowed them in one gulp with his mouth wide open.
"That's enough. Eating too much meat at night is not easy to digest."
Brother Nan was too busy talking to do anything, so he just waved at Li Mu, indicating that she could still eat.
Li Mu remained silent. With Brother Nan around, there was never any leftover food at home.
After a while, Brother Nan leaned back in his chair, touched his belly and started to daydream.
The tiger mother and the wolf mother also finished eating the wild boar meat and lay on the ground to rest. The golden eagle couple took care of each other's feathers, and the cubs snuggled up to their respective mothers.
"Li Mu, Li Mu!" At this time, the Great Sage ran over from the backyard with an anxious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Li Mu stood up. It was the first time he saw the Monkey King like this.
"Our apples are being stolen!"
"Stealing apples?"
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that someone else had sneaked in and reached his courtyard?
Thinking of this, Li Mu went straight to the backyard.
“Look! It’s right there!” The Great Sage pointed at a dark shadow in the apple orchard.
The black shadow was blocked by the branches and could not be seen clearly, but from the shaking of the apple tree and the vague outline, it could be judged that the person stealing the apples was not a human.
Humans are definitely not that tall.
After confirming that it was not a human, Li Mu actually felt relieved.
A group of golden monkeys were squatting on the wall of the backyard, holding a bunch of wild fruits and small stones picked up from the wild fruit forest outside the wall, and throwing them at the black shadow and roaring.
But the dark shadow was not moved at all. It just shook the apple tree, causing apples to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, a small black shadow walked out of the apple orchard, holding an apple in its two small black paws, and walking upright on its hind paws like a human.
As soon as it came out of the forest, the little black shadow saw Li Mu. The sudden appearance of the two-legged beast scared it and it sat down on the ground. The apple fell down and rolled to the side.
The little black shadow quickly stretched out its claws, picked up the apple and hid it behind it, staring at Li Mu in a daze.
Li Mu found it funny.
He had discovered before that although the apples in Lingtian were ripe, as long as they were not picked, they would not get insects or rot if they were left hanging on the trees. That was why he did not pick all the apples, but left them on the trees and ate them as he picked them.
Unexpectedly, doing so attracted a family of black bears.
"Could this little black charcoal be a blind bear?" Brother Nan walked over, holding his bloated stomach, and stared at the small black shadow on the ground.
"Yes, it's a black bear."
"Hiss" Brother Nan took a breath of cold air.
Li Mu thought Brother Nan was scared and was about to speak to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, Brother Nan's eyes suddenly became sparkling, and he pointed at the little black bear on the ground and said, "Hey, you black bear! Are you here to steal the cassock?"
The little black bear was confused and hid the apple behind him.
Thanks to zmhloveyou for the monthly ticket!
