Chapter 221 Children Shouldn't Drink

Ling Ran thought that this barbecue was quite simple.

She took a bite, and the sausage was grilled just right, with a wonderful aroma. It tasted much better than when she put it in instant noodles. Most importantly, it was brushed with a light layer of honey. She thought the flavors would clash, but they didn't at all; instead, it made the texture even richer.

Each profession has its own expertise.

Ling Ran doesn't understand cooking at all; all she knows is how to eat.

After finishing one sausage, Ling Ran, under Uncle Chen's direction, grilled scallops with vermicelli and pork belly. However, grilling and eating at the same time was too slow, so after grilling a few skewers, she got bored and asked Uncle Chen to grill some for her.

Uncle Chen is much more skilled at grilling. He doesn't grill each sausage one by one; he grills a whole bunch at once, and he can precisely control the heat for each sausage.

Pei Xiu and the others also brought their own barbecue for Ling Ran to eat, asking Ling Ran to give her evaluation and see who had grilled the best.

"Not counting Xiao Liu and Xiao Chen, Pei Yi grilled the best." Ling Ran commented after finishing her meal: "Xiao Fan grilled the worst."

Pei Yi possesses fire-based abilities, and he certainly has excellent control over the heat. As for Fan Chuan, before the apocalypse, he was just a mediocre novelist; after the apocalypse, he could barely manage to help out in the kitchen, and asking him to do anything more would only make things worse.

Upon hearing the results, Hu Meiying didn't hesitate to mock her husband: "Serves you right for never cooking before! Humph, you came in last place now."

Fan Chuan stopped barbecuing; he felt it was a waste of ingredients, and decided to eat what his wife grilled instead.

Upon hearing the rankings, Pei Xiu was somewhat disappointed and quickly moved closer to Ling Ran, asking, "Sister, what number am I?"

He felt his grilling was pretty good.

"second."

"Really?"

"Um."

Pei Xiu immediately became smug, reminding many people of the time when he first acquired his wood-type ability: "Eh? How did you know I got second place in the barbecue?"

The rest of the people: "..."

Can we please get this guy out of here? He's so annoying!

Ling Ran was eating barbecue and ignored this guy. When she found something delicious, she asked Xiao Chen next to her to grill more of it.

Oysters and scallops, for example, surprisingly had a unique flavor when simply seasoned with minced garlic and vermicelli.

Both the pork belly and beef are excellent, but this pork is made from wild boar, making it even more tender and chewy, and incredibly flavorful.

Next up was the grilled fish. The fish was too big, so they cut it in half to grill. Uncle Chen didn't wrap it in foil or anything like that; he just put it directly on the grill.

Ling Ran gave a thumbs-up while eating.

The grilled fish, which wasn't seasoned with too many spices to remove the fishy smell, was surprisingly not fishy at all, only fresh and delicious. The fish had no bones, and when you bit into it, you could taste tender, white meat. Combined with cumin and chili powder, it was incredibly fragrant.

Ling Ran ate barbecue for almost an hour before finally stopping.

She hugged the chilled sugar water and lay down on the sofa next to her. Su Yimo immediately set up a tablet for her and played the TV series she had been watching recently.

The others hadn't finished eating yet; with grilling and eating going on, the pace was really slow.

A cup of hot milk tea, a barbecue, a few men who don't have to keep watch at night, and they even took out beer to drink, but none of them dared to drink too much, after all, they had to travel tomorrow, and it wouldn't be good if they got a headache.

Pei Xiu also wanted to drink, but Pei Yi stopped him: "Children shouldn't drink."

"I'm an adult, okay?"

"They're just kids."

Pei Xiu was speechless. If it were anyone else, he would have cursed: "I'll pull out something bigger than yours. You're the kid. Your whole family are kids."

However, his brother's bloodline suppressed him, so he dared not say anything more. He could only hug the milk tea and go over to Uncle Chen to steal the barbecue that his sister had not finished eating.

Uncle Chen's grilling is still the best!
