At the age of 17, she fought for the glory of her motherland!

Chapter 804: Hospitable Shandong Province

The uncle at the next table said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. The meat is half-cooked. It needs to be grilled again."

Su Xing said: "Is that so? Thank you for your reminder."

She put the skewers back on the oven.

It turns out that the purpose of using the oven is either to keep cool or to grill meat.

Another uncle asked her with a smile: "Ni'er, are you from another place?"

It's impossible for the locals to eat barbecue like her.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Yes."

"No wonder." The uncle who reminded Su Xing earlier said again: "You have to use this pancake to wrap the meat and green onions and eat it."

As he spoke, he demonstrated to Su Xing.

He picked up a palm-sized pancake, spread some seasoning on it, then picked up a few skewers of meat, used the pancake to remove the pieces of meat from the skewer, put some tender raw onions on it, rolled it up, and took a big bite.

Su Xing looked at it carefully and nodded, "Okay, I'll try it."

The barbecues in the three northeastern provinces are quite famous, but she has never tried this way of eating skewers.

Another uncle said: "You outsiders may not be used to eating raw onions, so you don't have to put them in."

Su Xing said: "I don't hate the smell of raw onions, so I'll give it a try."

She waved to the waiter again and added a stack of pancakes, some green onions, and a bag of sauce.

After that, she began to concentrate on grilling the skewers.

Although she can cook, she is not very good at controlling the heat of the barbecue.

The uncle next to her reminded her again, "That's enough, it's about to be burnt."

"oh oh!"

Su Xing quickly took some cooked skewers of meat off the charcoal stove and placed them on a tray beside him.

She tried a skewer of meat first, and it was a little too roasted.

It turns out that whether the barbecue in Zibo City tastes good or not depends on the diners' cooking skills.

She followed the uncle's example and picked up a small pancake, put dry and wet ingredients on it, rolled up the meat and green onions, and started eating.

The taste is well-structured, not bad.

The meat was a bit tough to chew.

Several uncles noticed that Su Xing was not very good at grilling meat, and they would give her some pointers from time to time.

Guests at other tables nearby also looked at Su Xing with smiles, and occasionally shared with her some eating methods and local delicacies.

Su Xing thanked everyone with a smile and kept their suggestions and recommendations in mind.

She had a barbecue meal that was both homely and humane.

It is worthy of being called the hospitable Shandong Province.

Su Xing ate everything she ordered.

The uncle at the next table gave her a thumbs up and said, "Young girl, you really have a good appetite. That's what young people should do. Eat meat well to have a good body."

Being praised so directly for his appetite, Su Xing's face turned a little red, and he smiled awkwardly at the uncle.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she called the waiter for the bill, and was surprised by the price.

It’s really economical.

Su Xing waved goodbye to a few uncles and some guests who talked to her, and left the restaurant.

He Xu didn't disturb his girlfriend while she was eating, but just kept listening to what was happening over there.

When he heard her leave the restaurant, he smiled and said, "You had a lively meal."

Su Xing said: "Yes, the people in Zibo are quite interesting."

“Is the barbecue delicious over there?”

"How should I put it..." Su Xing thought for a moment and said, "The skewers are all quite big, and the price is not expensive, very affordable, but it really tests the diners' cooking skills. If you know how to grill them, it's not bad, but if you don't, it's a disaster."

He Xu laughed, "Is that so."

"Have you finished eating?" Su Xing heard He Xu ordering takeout.

"Well, I'm done eating. Listening to the smell of fireworks over there, it's really delicious."

He Xu prepared to take a rest for a while and then got up to exercise.

He doesn't allow himself to gain weight and become fat.

Su Xing and He Xu chatted and slowly walked back to the hotel.

She put her phone on the bedside table to charge, then took a shower to wash off the barbecue smell on her body.

When she came out of the bathroom, she heard He Xu's heavy breathing coming from the phone.

She pricked up her ears and listened for a while, which made her blush and her heart beat fast, "You...what are you doing?"

He Xu panted and said, "I'm working out."

"Oh... I'm working out..."

He Xu paused for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"

"No... I didn't think anything..."

"Oh, is it so?"

There was a hint of smile in He Xu's voice.

Su Xing changed the subject, "Are you still writing your thesis? If not, go to bed early."

He Xu said: "I'll stay with you for a while."

Su Xing tidied himself up, turned on the computer again, and continued to draw the manuscript of "The Path of Drama and Spirit".

After signing the contract with Zibo Culture and Tourism, she will rush to finish the drawing draft. Besides, she has to go home for the New Year in a while, so she has to finish as many episodes of "The Path of Drama and Spirituality" as possible.

It was almost 12 o'clock when He Xu went to bed.

He said to Su Xing, "You still have things to do tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Su Xing responded, "Okay~"

She turned off her computer, put away her tablet, and went to bed.

The two were still connected to the microphone, and neither of them had any intention of hanging up.

Su Xing picked up his phone and clicked on Weibo.

After thinking about it, she edited a short article about Zibo barbecue and attached a few pictures she took while eating.

……

Su Xing got up at around three in the morning.

She heard He Xu's breathing was steady, obviously he was still sleeping soundly.

She muted her own voice, practiced basic skills in the room for a while, and then turned on her computer to start drawing.

Seven o'clock.

Su Xing packed up and went to the hotel’s buffet restaurant to have breakfast.

At eight o'clock, Qiu Shi sent a message to Su Xing, asking her if she had had a good rest.

Su Xing replied that she had already gotten up and had breakfast.

Not long after, Qiu Shi came to the hotel to pick up Su Xing.

Today is Saturday, normally they don't go to work.

However, when Qiu Shi contacted Su Xing online, he said that all time arrangements would be based on Su Xing's convenience, and holidays were no problem.

This time, Qiu Shi did not bring too many people with him. There were just him, a second-level chief clerk, who was the young lady who sent flowers to Su Xing yesterday, named Xu Yanxia, ​​and a driver.

Seeing Su Xing coming downstairs, they both greeted her.

"Morning, Miss Su."

"Good morning, Miss Su."

Su Xing smiled and said, "Good morning, Section Chief Qiu, Director Xu."

Qiu Shi said: "Let's go to the Pu Songling Memorial Hall this morning?"

"Okay."

The three of them left the hotel lobby, got in the car, and headed to Pu Songling's former residence.

On the way, Qiu Shi sighed: "Our Zibo City is an industrial city. Its position in Shandong Province is a bit awkward. It is not like Qindao and Weishi City, which have rich marine resources, nor like Taishi City, which has Mount Tai, a well-known business card. Luandu has world-famous kites. It is too difficult for our Zibo City to transform..."

Xu Yanxia also said: "Yes, our Zibo City is in Shandong Province and is a city with very little presence."

Several provinces in Northeast China are old industrial bases that were once prosperous but are now in decline.

Su Xing could relate to what Qiu Shi and Xu Yanxia said.

However, Zibo City also has its own urban advantages.

She said: "Zibo is not only an industrial city, but also has a profound cultural heritage. It is the birthplace of Qi culture, a national historical and cultural city, and a famous ceramic city and the hometown of colored glaze..."
