I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Lin Yiran turned around and placed a large flat stone on the small stove next to her.

He took out a few sticks of burning firewood from under the big stove and stuffed them under the small stove.

Soon, the stone was sizzling and smoking.

Lin Yiran ran to wash her hands and grabbed a handful of sliced ​​venison from Xiao Yunzhan.

She spread the venison slices one by one on the stone.

"Zila Zila~"

As soon as the venison was placed on the hot stones, it immediately gave off a meaty aroma.

Xiao Lingyan took a look and thought that her aunt's barbecue this time looked very reliable.

She quickly ran to Old Madam Xiao and brought over a bag of five-spice powder.

"Aunt, seasoning."

Lin Yiran broke a branch in half and used it as chopsticks. She quickly turned the barbecue over and said without raising her head,

"Sprinkle some on the meat, but not too much."

"Okay." Xiao Lingyan nodded, picked up the five-spice powder and carefully sprinkled it on the barbecue.

When the five-spice powder is applied to the boiling hot venison, it sizzles and the aroma of the meat fills the air.

Xiao Linghui squatted beside and watched the sizzling barbecue. She pursed her lips, stretched her neck and swallowed her saliva.

The meat can be eaten like this, it smells so good.

Lin Yiran looked at Xiao Linghui's greedy look and smiled as she put the two roasted pieces of venison in the middle onto another clean stone next to it.

The stones were very cool, so when the roasted venison was placed on them, the steam stopped coming out after a while.

After a while, seven or eight slices of roasted venison were placed on the stone.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Lin Yiran picked up the cooled roasted venison, smiled and put a piece into each of the two sisters' mouths, and then put a piece into her own mouth.

After taking a bite, the three of them frowned.

The venison is quite tender and smells nice, but it tastes a bit sour and has a fishy smell.

Lin Yiran swallowed the venison in her mouth with great difficulty and handed the branch chopsticks in her hand to Xiao Lingyan.

"Ling Yan, turn the meat over. I'll go get some new meat, wash it in water, and then grill it."

Xiao Lingyan frowned and nodded, "Okay, Auntie."

Maybe it won't be so fishy and sour after washing.

Lin Yiran stood up and picked up a grooved stone from the side to hold the meat.

She grabbed a handful of venison slices and put them in the bowl in her hand, then turned and walked towards the stream.

Xiao Yunzhan was still conscientiously slicing venison. When he saw the hand reaching out to grab the meat, he raised his head and glanced at Lin Yiran's back.

He has washed the meat, isn't it clean?

Xiao Yunzhan picked up the sliced ​​venison and took a look at it in confusion. It was quite clean.

He sliced ​​the venison with his hands without touching the ground.

Xiao Yunzhan sighed slowly. If you want to take a shower, just go ahead. There is no shortage of water since you are near a water source.

Lin Yiran squatted by the stream with a large bowl of venison. She looked back and while no one was paying attention, she quickly filled the stone bowl with white wine.

This is the royal wine, and it should be just as good as cooking wine in removing fishy smells.

Lin Yiran stirred the venison in the stone bowl, allowing the white wine to fully moisturize the venison slices.

Then she took a few slices of chopped ginger and put them in the bowl and marinated them together.

Now she was so impressed with her own wise move that she cleared out all the kitchens of the civil and military officials in the capital and the imperial palace. Any dish she wanted was already cut and she didn't have to work hard at all.

There were a bunch of finished and semi-finished foods in the space, which made her feel very happy.

Lin Yiran turned around and glanced at the large clay pot that was sizzling with smoke. There was a pot of venison cooking in it. Without wine and ginger to remove the fishy smell, it would probably not taste very good when cooked.

She looked down at the stone bowl in her hand, then looked up at the gray sky, and immediately had an idea.

Lin Yiran held the stone bowl and took advantage of everyone's inattention to rush to the pot where the venison was cooked. She reached out and lifted the lid.

"Hey, don't boil it dry, let me add some water."

"Hiss~ I--Ouch~--Oh my god~"

Lin Yiran grabbed the lid of the ceramic jar and instantly lost control of her speech because of the heat.

Just like that, she did not forget to pour the wine and ginger in the stone bowl into the pot.

This is how top foodies are trained.

Lin Yiran's sudden scream scared everyone so much that they all looked up.

Seeing this, Old Madam Xiao, who was squatting beside the ceramic pot adding firewood, widened her eyes in shock.

She stood up suddenly and reached out to take the pot lid from Lin Yiran's hand.

The sisters-in-law looked at Old Madam Xiao who suddenly rushed over in shock.

This was the first time in all these years that they had seen their mother be so agile.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunzhan suddenly jumped up from the ground, tiptoed, and rushed over.

Just as he was about to grab the pot lid in Lin Yiran's hand.

Lin Yiran endured the severe pain and threw the pot lid back.

"Bang Da Da~"

The ceramic pot lid shook twice and returned steadily to its original position.

Xiao Yunzhan grabbed nothing.

Lin Yiran quickly retracted her scalded hand, pinched her earlobe, and blew cold air from her mouth.

Madam Xiao pulled Lin Yiran's hand with a distressed look on her face.

"You are confused, kid. How can you hold something that is scalding hot with your hands?"

"Hurry up and check if there are any blisters."

Even if he is the apprentice of a miracle doctor, he still has a body made of flesh and blood.

A scald would be terrible.

Lin Yiran let Madam Xiao hold her hand and go to the fire to check.

She smiled awkwardly.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just felt hot when I touched it. I put it back right away. It wasn't really burned."

Lin Yiran really admired herself at this moment. Her first reaction after being scalded was to forget about pouring the wine.

Fortunately, she poured it quickly enough, otherwise she would have gotten blisters.

Madam Xiao frowned and looked at Lin Yiran's red fingers, looking at her helplessly.

"It's so red, and you said it's okay."

"Let's go and soak our hands in the stream for a while."

As she spoke, Madam Xiao pulled Lin Yiran towards the stream.

When Lin Yiran passed by Xiao Yunzhan, he frowned and sniffed gently.

Hey, why does she smell so strongly of alcohol?

Xiao Yunzhan lowered his head to the pot and smelled it in confusion, then raised his head and looked at Lin Yiran who was soaking her hands by the stream with a complicated look.

Well, nothing she does is surprising. She probably added wine to the pot to remove the fishy smell from the venison.

Anyway, when the venison is cooked, no one will be able to smell the alcohol, so he can just pretend he doesn't know.

Seeing that his sisters-in-law all ran to the stream to care for Lin Yiran, Xiao Yunzhan curled the corners of his lips and continued to cut the meat.

"Look, it's really okay, there's no swelling at all."

Lin Yiran took her hands out of the water, spread out her palms, and showed them to Old Madam Xiao and her sisters-in-law one by one.

The sisters-in-law took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that there was no swelling.

Sister-in-law, "You have to be careful next time. Blisters from being burned in such hot weather can easily become inflamed."

Second sister-in-law, "Yes, stay away from the pot in the future. I'll cook with my hands. I'll do it."

Third sister-in-law, "You should soak your hand for a while longer to let the heat inside dissipate..."

.......

"Yes, yes, okay, I'll remember it all and listen to my sisters-in-law."

Lin Yiran listened to the sisters-in-law's caring words without feeling impatient at all, and obediently soaked her hands in the cool stream again. ?

"Um!?"

The second sister-in-law frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Do you smell any alcohol?"

I was so concerned about my fourth brother's wife's hand that I didn't notice the smell of alcohol. ?

Now that I relaxed, I could smell the strong aroma of wine. It was obviously good wine.
