Chapter 501 Perfect Grilled Chicken Wings
Gu Chenxi pouted and muttered softly: "Are you worried that I will mess things up?"
"How could that be!" Gong Liu said immediately, "I'm just worried that the smoke will choke you. It's just the three of us here, go and have fun."
"No, I want to accompany you!"
Gu Chenxi said, grabbing a kebab from the basket, and walked to Gong Liu and said, "I don't know how to do it, can you teach me? Don't worry, I will never mess around!"
"Uh, okay."
Looking at Gu Chenxi's sincere big eyes, Kong Liu finally softened his heart and agreed to let her stay to help.
Sun Yu was also very sensible. He grabbed his skewers and ran to Wang Qi's stove, leaving his brother and sister-in-law some space alone. This was something that seemed to be an innate talent of Sun Yu, and he didn't need to be taught at all.
After Gu Chenxi joined, there was no empty space on the barbecue area's grill.
Sun Yu and Wang Qi were roasting at the stove on the left, each occupying half.
Gong Yoo and Gu Chenxi were grilling at the stove on the right, each occupying half, but there was only one skewer on Gu Chenxi's half.
Because Gong Yoo asked him to practice first, so as not to grill too many at once, otherwise he would get all the skewers burnt in a hurry.
Gu Chenxi was quite obedient and imitated Gong Yoo in grilling the skewer of lamb.
While grilling, Gu Chenxi suddenly said to Gong Liu: "The outside of this mutton seems a little burnt?"
Gong Yoo was checking the doneness of the chicken wings. He casually said, "The fire might be a little too strong. Just brush some cold oil on them and turn them over more often."
"Oh, good."
Gu Chenxi nodded, and followed what Kong Liu said, picked up the oil brush and started brushing the skewers - among the bunch of seasonings, only the oil was served in a bowl, so there was no mistake.
"Wait!" Kong Liu suddenly looked at Gu Chenxi as if he suddenly remembered something.
However, it was too late.
The oil on the oil brush dripped onto the red-hot charcoal under the stove, and a flame ignited the moment the oil and charcoal touched.
The open flame frightened Gu Chenxi so much that her hands trembled and all the oil on the oil brush fell into the charcoal fire.
"Bam—"
After a loud bang, the raging flames shot out directly from the barbecue grill.
"Ah! What should we do?" Gu Chenxi asked Kong Liu in panic.
Gong Yoo calmly picked up the mineral water beside him and poured a small bottle cap onto the charcoal fire.
"Fuck-"
The flames dissipated instantly, and a puff of gray smoke came out.
Gu Chenxi lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, and whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry, I seem to have made matters worse again."
"I don't blame you."
Gong Yoo smiled and removed the skewer that had been burnt black by the open flame from the barbecue net. It was definitely inedible after being grilled like this.
"Come, let me teach you."
Instead of blaming Gu Chenxi, Kong Liu grabbed the skewers of meat that he had just grilled halfway and started teaching him how to cook.
"Look, you have to keep turning the meat over when grilling. If you grill it for a little too long, it will burn. For meat, don't brush too much oil on the skewers because the fat content will come out after grilling for a while. Don't brush oil on marinated meat, otherwise the oil will seal the marinade and it won't be fragrant..."
Gong Yoo was earnestly teaching Gu Chenxi how to grill skewers. Perhaps because he had just messed up, Gu Chenxi listened particularly carefully.
Seeing that Gu Chenxi was listening attentively, Kong Liu continued, "For meat like the lamb or chicken wings just now, if they are too dry, you can take the skewers out of the oven and lightly brush a thin layer of oil in front of the oil bowl. When the skewers are no longer dripping with oil, you can put them back on the oven. Do you know why?"
Gu Chenxi covered his face and whispered, "Because charcoal will catch fire when it meets oil!"
"Well, you're not stupid. Every failure makes you wiser." Kong Liu nodded with satisfaction.
Gong Liu picked up another bunch of fresh green peppers and said to Gu Chenxi, "For vegetables with high water content like this, don't brush them with oil before grilling. Bake them in the oven for a while to dry out the water in the vegetables, then turn them over and brush them with oil."
Gu Chenxi asked curiously: "What will happen if I apply oil in advance?"
Gong Yoo immediately answered her question: "It will be difficult to cook, and the flavor of the vegetables and seasonings will not come out."
“Oh, you’re awesome!”
Gu Chenxi looked at Kong Liu with shining eyes and clapped his hands in praise.
Sun Yu, who was grilling silently on the side, felt jealous when he heard this - because these were all his words!
He taught this set of barbecue secrets to Gong Yoo. He had previously paid a great barbecue master to teach him these few tricks so that he could show off when he and his sisters went camping and barbecue outside and let his sisters admire him.
As a result, it was of no use today. If Liu Shiyu was here, he could have shown off his skills.
Thinking of this, Sun Yu glanced at Liu Shiyu who was sitting under the canopy, chatting and laughing with everyone while cooking hot pot...
After Kong Yoo’s hands-on instruction, Gu Chenxi immediately picked up a whole chicken wing and started trying it.
While grilling, she asked Gong Liu: "I just messed up, you really don't blame me at all?"
"Why should I blame you? Everyone has their first try, and it's normal to make mistakes. Besides, the first time I grilled, I grilled worse than you." When Kong Liu said this, he turned his head and smiled at Gu Chenxi, "Even if you really want to blame someone, blame me for not reminding you in advance!"
"Baby, you are so nice to me~~" Gu Chenxi felt warm in her heart when she heard Gong Liu's words, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Gong Liu wiped his hands on his apron, then reached out and poked Gu Chenxi's forehead, saying, "I'm your boyfriend, so I must treat you well!"
"Woo..."
"Hey, the chicken wings are getting burnt, turn them over quickly!"
"oh oh."
Gu Chenxi was about to cry, but Gong Yoo's words "the chicken wings are mushy" made her hold back her tears.
Next, Gu Chenxi began to grill her chicken wings with full concentration.
Gong Liu also started to seriously grill the skewers that Gu Chenxi and others sent.
After a while, Gong Yoo had grilled a plate of meat skewers and a plate of vegetarian dishes.
He picked up a fragrant and spicy mutton skewer, blew on the heat, and fed it to Gu Chenxi: "Try it quickly, the first skewer must be given to you!"
Gu Chenxi took a big bite of the meat and savored it carefully.
Gong Yoo asked expectantly, "How is it?"
Gu Chenxi said with shining eyes: "Delicious!"
Gong Liu said in disbelief: "Really? Don't flatter me on purpose."
Gu Chenxi shook his head: "No, try it yourself!"
Gong Yoo also took a bite of the lamb kebab.
The taste is really good, and my grilling technique is better than the last time I made it at my grandfather’s house.
"Is it delicious?" Gu Chenxi raised his head and said, "I must be praising you sincerely, but you still don't believe it. Humph~"
"Okay, okay."
Gong Liu smiled and nodded.
Gu Chenxi pointed at the chicken wings he had grilled and asked, "My chicken wings should be almost done, right?"
Gong Liu picked up the chicken wing, cut the meat in the middle of the wing with scissors, looked at the color of the bone, and said, "Well, brush some soy sauce on it, and grill both sides for another minute and it will be almost done."
"it is good."
Gu Chenxi carefully followed Gong Yoo's instructions, brushed the chicken wings with soy sauce, and grilled both sides for a while.
"Have a try!"
Gu Chenxi couldn't bear to eat a single bite, so she handed the chicken wing to Kong Liu and looked at him expectantly.
Gong Liu blew away the hot air, then took a light bite of the chicken wing that Gu Chenxi had spent a lot of time grilling.
It’s a little salty, but it was baked by Gu Chenxi with love, so for Gong Liu…
very delicious!
