Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 239 Roasted Lamb

Xia Shiyu carefully cultivated the sesame seeds and planted them. This time, she did everything herself, working with her parents to help.

Her family rarely sees her so focused, and they're all quite curious.

"I've never seen you so attentive before, why are you doing everything yourself this time?"

Yu Juan looked at Xia Shiyu's meticulous movements with a puzzled expression. Her own daughter usually only looked at the beginning and then completely ignored it.

"Mom, you don't know this, but this sesame is really special. It's just as good as the grapes I bought last time. It's a special variety."

This is a precious plant that is crucial to her hair growth, so of course she has to keep a close eye on it. However, she doesn't need to tell her parents about its hair growth effects yet; they'll know the benefits once they see it for themselves.

"Oh, no wonder I said you valued it so much. It turns out there's something special about it. I'll take a closer look later. I don't trust anyone else with this kind of information."

"Yes, Mom, we have to keep a close eye on this."

Although the vegetables and fruits in the fairy tale world are quite resilient, you have to be extra careful with sesame seeds.

"By the way, Mom, keep a close eye on these blueberries too. I think they've already formed fruit, and the rest will ripen soon. We don't want any small animals or kids to steal them and waste them."

It's early April now, and May is just around the corner. Because we planted them early, and blueberries are a special crop, our own blueberries should be ripe by then. When they hit the market, they'll definitely cause another buying frenzy, so we need to keep an eye on them.

Xia Lihua chuckled a few times, "Okay, don't worry, I don't even need to watch over them. Nuomi and Tudou are like sentries, standing guard every day."

"Yes, those two are more attentive than anyone else, always wandering around there all day long."

Xia Shiyu nodded. Of course she knew the two were craving fruit, but after so much time of teaching them, they had become sensible and would only eat fruit that had fallen from the ground. They wouldn't touch fruit that hadn't fully grown or that was about to be harvested.

So when I saw that the blueberries were about to ripen, I happily went over to check on them.

A group of people were talking when they got home and saw Zhang Limin sitting in the yard.

"Oh, Limin, what brings you here today? Are you here to haul hay?"

Yu Juan greeted them and asked them a few questions.

The alfalfa at home is usually cut and delivered, but sometimes Zhang Limin will come and haul it back himself.

She thought today would be the same as always.

Zhang Limin waved his hand with a smile, "No, I didn't come here today for that. I came to bring you meat."

"Delivering meat?" Xia Shiyu's doubts vanished the moment she saw the cargo bed.

There was a piece of mutton in the truck bed; it looked like it had been slaughtered recently.

"Yes, we've been raising it for so long, and since we had some customers coming today, we slaughtered a sheep. Half of it was enough for us to eat, so we thought we'd bring you the other half."

"Oh, that's too kind of you. I can't accept this."

Yu Juan quickly waved her hand, saying, "This is too valuable. A sheep costs a lot of money."

"Oh, don't talk to me about that. Our two families have a relationship, so just take it."

Zhang Limin simply carried the meat downstairs without saying anything else.

Seeing this, Xia Shiyu said directly, "Then Uncle Zhang, why don't you stay and have some food? We'll make lunch right away."

"No, no, your aunt is still cooking at home, and I have to go help entertain the guests, so I won't stay any longer. Maybe next time."

"Uncle Zhang, wait a moment. We'll get you some dishes to take back with you, so you can serve them to our guests."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shiyu hurriedly brought out a large pile of vegetables from the house, thinking it would be better to have someone take them back so that there would be more vegetables available.

"Alright, your food is delicious, so I won't refuse."

Zhang Limin carried the vegetables into the truck bed and then left.

After watching the person leave, Xia Shiyu looked at the mutton in front of her and asked her family what to do with it.

"Or should we stew it? But I'm not very good at preparing it."

Yu Juan knows how to cook mutton; the stewed mutton doesn't have much of a gamey smell, but it's a very common way of cooking it, so it's not particularly delicious.

Xia Lihua thought for a moment and said, "How about we just have some grilled lamb skewers? But can Mom and Dad handle it?"

As he spoke, he looked at his maternal grandparents again.

Grandma nodded, "Our teeth are better than before, so we can eat more. We can eat with you young people."

Xia Shiyu said, "In that case, we might as well roast the lamb and cook some other dishes to go with it. Also, as long as the lamb isn't roasted too burnt, it won't be too tough if you eat it while it's hot."

"Okay, I'll go get the barbecue grill right away."

Xia Lihua ran inside excitedly. He had bought a barbecue grill before, but he only used it once when he first bought it and then never bothered with it again, which was a real shame.

Today I finally have the chance to "make a comeback".

He went to move the barbecue grill out, and Xia Shiyu and his mother worked together to prepare the lamb, skewering and cleaning it.

Once Xia Lihua had set up the grill and placed the smokeless coals, they could start grilling.

Xia Lihua placed the skewered mutton on the grill, checking its condition and flipping it over frequently.

"Let me tell you, you really need to pay attention to the barbecue seasoning, and you also need to be careful not to burn it, otherwise it won't taste good."

As Xia Lihua spoke, he sprinkled seasonings on the lamb skewers, flipped them over a few times, and finally grabbed a handful and put them on the plate next to him.

"Eat up, eat up, this should taste pretty good."

"Okay, everyone, come and eat! Grandpa and Grandma, there are some wraps here too."

Xia Shiyu took out the thin pancakes that her family had made before, along with some side dishes. She put the side dishes on top, grabbed the lamb skewers, wrapped them in the pancakes, and ate them directly. It was especially delicious.

After taking a bite, Xia Shiyu gave a thumbs up, "Mmm, it tastes pretty good. The lamb skewers are grilled very well and not burnt."

"Yeah, I think it tastes pretty good."

Yu Juan nodded as well.

Even my grandparents ate some; the mutton with the flatbread tasted quite delicious.

"No matter what, this pancake is quite fragrant, and it tastes delicious."

Yu Juan brought out the prepared dishes, "Here are some simple home-style dishes, including vegetable and tofu soup and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. If you're still hungry, we can also serve you some rice."

"Alright, alright, this amount of food is enough for us."

The family gathered around the lamb skewers and started eating in the yard, taking advantage of the sunny weather to enjoy some sunshine.

When Zhang Limin returned home with the vegetables, his guests were looking at the mutton.
