Chapter 117 Barbecue in Xiao Yihan's Yard
After Chuntao and Qingyun left, Xia Qingqing took Xiao Yihan to prepare for the barbecue. First, put the charcoal fire in, then light the charcoal fire, and make crackling sounds. That's it.
Put the rack on it, take out the prepared meat and vegetables, and set them aside.
"Brother Xiao, haven't you eaten this for a long time?"
Xiao Yihan smiled and nodded, watching Xia Qingqing put the marinated meat on it. Immediately, there was a sizzling sound, and a faint fragrance floated in the air.
"Well, it's been a long time since I tasted it. I really miss it."
I've only eaten this barbecue once, when I went to Zhou's house last time. It's been such a long time, but my mouth started watering when I smelled the flavor again.
"Then Brother Xiao, do you still know how to do it?" He had done it before when they were camping in the suburbs, but I don't know if he still remembers it now.
"I can't quite remember it, but it's okay, maybe I'll remember it later."
Xia Qingqing nodded. That’s it. In that case, she would hand him the other vegetables.
"Then I'll leave these to you."
Xia Qingqing handed all the vegetable skewers to Xiao Yihan and turned around to continue grilling her meat.
Xiao Yihan smiled and didn't care. He took the vegetables and put them on top. He watched Xia Qingqing's steps and followed her example.
Xia Qingqing's meat was cooked quickly, so she grilled five skewers, giving one to Xiao Yihan and one to Taohua.
"One skewer per person, just right."
Just put Qingyun and Taohua's skewers aside and wait for them to come and eat them. Xia Qingqing put ten skewers of meat on the rack again. The iron rack had been roasted very hot and it made a crackling sound as soon as it was put on.
"Hmm...it smells so good. What's that smell? It smells so good." Qingyun's voice came over, and he walked out from the kitchen at the back. When he turned a corner, he saw Xia Qingqing and Xiao Yihan doing something.
He immediately ran towards them, breathing in the air around him.
"That's the smell, Princess, Prince, what are you doing?"
Maybe it was because it was late at night, Xia Qingqing was too friendly. Plus, she was usually not that reserved when she was with Xiao Yihan, and she was very relaxed, just like they were good friends.
Xia Qingqing reached out and took out the barbecue that had been reserved for the two of them and handed it to Qingyun.
"These two bunches are for you, one for you and one for Chuntao. You can't eat them all by yourself."
Xia Qingqing saw Qingyun staring at the two skewers of barbecue without blinking, with some transparent liquid around his mouth. He looked like a greedy man, so she warned him worriedly.
Qingyun took it in his hand and smelled it madly. It smelled so good.
Chuntao had already come over by now and put two cups of taro milk tea between Xia Qingqing and Xiao Yihan, saying disapprovingly.
"Princess, you can just cook it for yourself, why are you saving it for me?"
"Look, when I have food, I won't leave it for you guys. Okay, stop talking and eat quickly. There are still several pieces here. What's the big deal? These are enough for us to eat our fill."
Xia Qingqing ignored them and turned around to take out the prepared barbecue.
"Okay, these ten skewers are ready. They roast very quickly, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish them."
After her barbecue was ready, the vegetables in Xiao Yihan's hand were also ready.
"These vegetables are ready too. Put them here. If you want some, just help yourself."
After she finished speaking, they didn't move. Xia Qingqing knew that they were afraid, so she glared at them.
Chuntao and Taohua had followed Xia Qingqing for so long, so they naturally knew what this meant. They hurriedly walked to the barbecue, picked up the barbecue and started eating.
They all began to sweat in their hearts. Although this was not the first time, they were still very panicked. They actually let the princess serve them. If the emperor and the queen knew about it, they would be seen through.
She ate the delicious skewers with tears in her eyes, and while she was eating she did not forget to call Qingyun to come and eat too. After all, they would die together and no one could escape.
Xia Qingqing put some more meat on the plate and was waiting to turn it over. This took a while, but when she saw the taro milk tea still smoking, her eyes lit up and she took a sip.
Well, that's what it tastes like.
Although the taro paste is not that fine, she just likes the granular feeling. She can chew the taro, which is delicious.
She was drinking happily when she glanced and found Xiao Yihan looking at her with a smile on his face. She was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that Xiao Yihan had not touched the milk tea in his hand, she hurriedly urged him.
"Brother Xiao, you should quickly try the milk tea that Chuntao just made. It's really delicious. It's cold now, and it gets cold quickly. It's best to eat it while it's hot."
Naturally, he had to try what Xia Qingqing introduced. Xiao Yihan picked up the cup and took a few sips without saying a word. He felt the sweetness at the tip of his mouth and couldn't help but frown.
Thinking of Xia Qingqing in front of him, he suppressed the impulse in his heart, smiled and took a few more sips.
Seeing that Xiao Yihan drank several mouthfuls in succession and most of the milk tea was gone in an instant, she stared at Xiao Yihan with bright eyes.
"How is it, Brother Xiao? Is it delicious?"
Xiao Yihan put down the quilt in his hand and nodded, "Yeah, it tastes good."
He was a man of few words to begin with, so Xia Qingqing didn't suspect anything. After hearing him say it tasted good, she happily turned back and continued to turn the barbecue.
Xiao Yihan also turned his head. The smile on his face disappeared at that moment and his brows were tightly furrowed. The cup of milk tea was too sweet for him.
He doesn't like sweet things, but...
Xiao Yihan turned his head to look at Xia Qingqing who was concentrating on watching the barbecue in front of them. Since Nannan liked it, he would just drink with her.
Xia Qingqing and Xiao Yihan stood and grilled for a while, but felt too tired, so they moved some stools and sat down to grill.
The barbecue grill is not very high, but it is very large. Qingyun, Chuntao, Taohua and others sat opposite it, grilling meat and chatting from time to time. It was really interesting.
It was also a novel experience for them. By the time the gunfire outside stopped, their food was almost gone.
"Princess, it's time for us to go back." Chuntao shouted inside, but no one responded. Chuntao and others looked at each other and decided to go in and take a look.
As soon as I reached the door, Xiao Yihan came out and said, "Don't go in. Nannan is asleep. Just sleep here tonight."
Chuntao and Taohua were in a dilemma. They knew that the princess was grumpy when she woke up. If they went in and woke her up now, they would definitely be punished by the princess.
