Chapter 134: Chapter 120, Fight for Food_1
“Oh dear, ours don’t taste good, big sister, I want to eat what you’ve grilled!” Others might be more reserved, but Yan Wenkai wouldn’t be. Seeing his own skewers slightly charred, he threw them away and squeezed his way over to Daohua.
“I never expected you to grill them well,” Daohua said with a smile, turning to bring out a plate from behind her filled with grilled at skewers and vegetable skewers, “Here, take these to eat.”
Yan Wenkai imdiately took the plate with glee, holding it with one hand while swiftly picking up a beef skewer with the other and started to eat.
He couldn’t help it, it was too delicious. If he didn’t eat now, he was afraid his drool would start flowing, and that would be utterly embarrassing.
After gobbling down several skewers, he reluctantly handed the plate to Dong Yuanxuan and the others when they ca over.
“What about mine?”
Seeing Daohua give all the grilled skewers to Yan Wenkai, Xiao Yeyang was sowhat displeased. Although he had done fairly well with Daohua’s guidance, the taste and doneness were still off by quite a bit. After a single bite, he didn’t want a second.
Daohua glared at him playfully: “As if I’d forget yours. The question is… if you dare to eat it!”
Xiao Yeyang lifted his chin: “What could I possibly be afraid to eat?”
“I dare to eat it too,” Zhou Jingwan stated without being asked, quickly taking a stance.
Having been around Xiao Yeyang for a while, she had beco less restrained.
Daohua looked at the fortunate one standing beside her: “What I’m going to use now are seasoning ingredients I’ve prepared myself. Can you eat it?”
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the fortunate one imdiately looked over nervously.
Xiao Yeyang glared at him, then turned to Daohua: “If you all can eat it, what’s stopping ?”
Daohua laughed, knowing the fortunate one was nervous and suggested, “We’ll eat first, and if there’s no issue, then the Little Prince can have so. How about that?”
The fortunate one quickly nodded: “That sounds good!”
“Good? Good how!” Xiao Yeyang snorted coldly, “If we do that, wouldn’t I be eating their leftovers?”
“Uh…”
Daohua and the fortunate one were at a loss for words.
Xiao Yeyang: “Let’s just eat together.” Although he had to be cautious when away from ho, being overcautious took the fun out of life.
If Prince Rui hadn’t insisted on leaving a team of Jinling Guards behind when he left, Xiao Yeyang would have been lazy to bring so many bodyguards with him.
Daohua didn’t argue with him, and the fortunate one didn’t dare say more.
So Daohua began to grill skewers using the seasoning ingredients she’d cultivated in her space.
“Daohua, why do I feel like what you’re grilling now slls even better than before?” Zhou Jingwan sniffed the air, her mouth imdiately flooding with saliva.
Daohua smiled proudly, saying nothing.
Although Xiao Yeyang maintained his composure, his eyes kept straying towards the skewers Daohua was flipping, his Adam’s apple moving involuntarily.
“It slls so good, big sister, what are you grilling now?”
Yan Wenkai called out loudly, having finished the barbecue Daohua had given them before, and he eagerly approached again.
However, this ti, both Xiao Yeyang and Zhou Jingwan watched him defensively, not allowing him to co closer.
They had seen that Daohua had taken out only a little seasoning later on, just enough for the ten or so skewers on the grill, which were now gone.
The food-protective Zhou Jingwan: “You’ve already had yours; what’s being grilled now is ours, so get lost!”
With his craving triggered, Yan Wenkai was not about to leave: “Zhou Family sister, good things should be shared, you can’t hog it all. Got it?” he said, giving Zhou Jingwan a look that was ant to suggest he had her best interests at heart.
Zhou Jingwan pouted her lips and didn’t answer, her little face scrunched up.
“Fourth brother!” Yan Wentao quickly stepped forward, attempting to pull Yan Wenkai away while whispering, “Fourth brother, how can you fight over food with a girl? That’s shaful!”
Zhou Jingwan nodded eagerly, feeling supported.
Yan Wenkai, gazing at the skewers on the grill sizzling with juice, swallowed hard: “But I want to eat!”
In the anti, Daohua had finished grilling the skewers. Seeing her fourth brother desperately swallowing saliva, she felt too embarrassed to watch and quickly divided the freshly grilled skewers into three portions.
She gave one portion to Xiao Yeyang, one to Zhou Jingwan.
They each received only three or four skewers because the seasoning she had was stored in her pouch and there was only a little, just enough to grill about a dozen skewers.
Having gotten their grilled at, Xiao Yeyang and Zhou Jingwan acted in strikingly similar fashion, imdiately digging in.
Daohua, holding three skewers of grilled at, looked at Yan Wenkai who was eyeing her eagerly, continually swallowing his saliva, and felt sowhat unable to bite into hers, “Fourth Brother…”
Seeing Daohua offering a skewer of grilled at, Yan Wenkai was swift to act, ‘whooshing’ over to take the grilled at into his hands.
As Yan Wenkai started eating right away, Daohua quickly called out, “Fourth Brother, don’t eat it all, save so for Third Brother!”
Standing aside, Yan Wentao swallowed his saliva and waved his hand, “I won’t eat, let Wenkai have it.” He was the older brother, after all, who should give way a little.
“You’re so kind, Third Brother,” Yan Wenkai sent Yan Wentao a ‘nice guy’ card, then continued to eat with a clear conscience.
Daohua shook her head wordlessly, it’s just a skewer of grilled at, can’t you aim a little higher, Fourth Brother?
Daohua raised her skewer, ready to eat, but seeing Dong Yuanxuan and the others looking longingly, her hand paused mid-air.
“Um… Big Brother Dong, why don’t you take these two skewers and share them?”
Daohua reluctantly handed out the grilled at.
“How could we accept that?” Dong Yuanxuan’s mouth declined the offer, yet his steps were quick, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Daohua, eyes glued to the grilled at.
Daohua’s cheek twitched and she resignedly handed over the grilled at.
Dong Yuanxuan had just received the grilled at when Su Hongxin and others pulled him away, clamoring to share it.
Daohua looked at her empty hands with a forlorn expression. She wanted to eat too, it was her first barbecue in the ancient era, and after grilling for so long, she hadn’t managed to grab a single skewer.
“Here!”
Suddenly, three skewers of grilled at appeared before her eyes.
Daohua’s expression brightened, thinking Zhou Jingwan saw she hadn’t eaten and decided to share hers, but when she looked up, it was actually Xiao Yeyang.
Seeing Daohua just looking and not reaching out, Xiao Yeyang pretended to be impatient, “Are you going to eat or not? If not, I’ll eat them all.”
“Eat, of course I’m going to eat!” Daohua’s mouth curled up, and she stretched her hands out, taking a skewer in each.
With the previous experience in mind, this ti, Daohua was quick to start eating, glancing at Xiao Yeyang with a smile as she ate, as if to say thank you.
Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua unapologetically take two of his skewers and was about to ask for one back when their eyes t, full of laughter. He beca montarily dazed and the words he had ant to say faded away.
“This is really tasty, Xiao Yeyang, you’re the best!”
The Jinling Guard felt slightly embarrassed for his master. Out of four skewers of grilled at, only one had been eaten and two were already gone. Oh…
anwhile, Zhou Jingwan, seeing Daohua eating, imdiately bead.
The Little Prince was so kind, giving Daohua grilled at, now she could save hers to eat.
Zhou Jingwan had already finished one skewer and was now eating the second, but suddenly, she lifted her head and looked at Yan Wentao, who was silently watching everyone else eat.
Yan Wentao was too shy to compete with the others and only looked on, swallowing his saliva.
“Here!”
Suddenly, a skewer of grilled at appeared before his eyes.
Yan Wentao looked at Zhou Jingwan with a surprised expression.
Seeing that he didn’t move, Zhou Jingwan decisively put the skewer in her hand and said proudly, “You just helped out, so consider this grilled at a token of my thanks.”
With that, she walked away, holding her head high.
However, she hadn’t gone far before Zhou Chengye caught her with one grasp.
“Well, well, Zhou Jingwan, you didn’t give your elder brother the tasty treat first but gave it to soone else; are you still my sister?”
“You don’t want the grilled at, that’s it; if you do, then you’re not,” Zhou Jingwan mumbled vaguely.
“No way, you have to give a skewer. Otherwise, if you get into any trouble later, I absolutely won’t plead on your behalf…”
Yan Wentao watched the siblings bicker, glanced at the skewer in his hand, lifted the corner of his mouth, and took a bite.
Yum, how delicious!
