Chapter 70: Self-taught

Meng Chuyuan silently withdrew his gaze and went out to find Lu Jinsen.

Lu Jinsen was seriously responsible for grilling skewers, and just a picture of his back was enough to make the audience excited.

[Look! What's that in front? It's a young master who's serious about grilling skewers.]

[As expected, men who are serious are really attractive, even their backs are handsome]

[He seems quite docile, so why does he have so many haters?]

[Because Lu Jinsen is like a ticking time bomb, hahaha. When he first debuted, I thought he was pretty good. But later on, because of his personality, he got into a lot of scandals, so I didn't have a good impression of him anymore.]

Meng Chuyuan walked over slowly, appeared from behind him, and then stood beside him.

When Lu Jinsen saw her come back, he quickly picked up a handful of duck intestines from the grill and handed them to Meng Chuyuan: "Take a look and see if they're cooked."

When Lu Jinsen handed over the duck intestines, Meng Chuyuan put his hands behind his back and leaned forward to take a look.

"Not bad, you even know how to fry them with oil." Meng Chuyuan was secretly delighted when he saw the shiny surface of the duck intestines.

Because she had just stayed with Qi Zhen and the others for a while and found that they really didn't know how to barbecue. They just put all the ingredients directly on the grill.

She had only briefly explained it to Lu Jinsen before, and had not mentioned the need to apply oil at that time. Unexpectedly, he applied it himself.

Lu Jinsen lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'm worried it will burn if there's no oil."

This story begins with him frying that steak at home.

Lu Jinsen knew that if there was no oil, the pan would stick. Anyway, he knew nothing, so he thought the same should apply to barbecue.

[The eldest young master has become a self-taught talent. Sister Meng is very pleased.]

[Not bad, not bad, hahaha, at least I know a little more than Qi Zhen and Luo Yunzhou]

Did Lu Jinsen just overhear what Sister Meng said, so he secretly greased the duck intestines?

[I think Qi Zhen also comes from a wealthy family. Although he can cook, he can't barbecue. He may not even have eaten this kind of food.]

[Anyway, this is very well done. I give Lu Jinsen a thumbs up.]

Meng Chuyuan brought the duck intestines to him and asked him to continue grilling the skewers.

She temporarily placed the duck intestines in a place without charcoal fire, then took a string, brushed it with sauce, smeared it with cumin powder, put it back on the rack and roasted it for a while to make it more flavorful, and then began to taste it.

Meng Chuyuan took a bite and found the meat a little too tough. It might be because Lu Jinsen roasted it for too long and didn't apply enough oil.

Because they blanch the duck intestines in water before skewering them, they don’t need to be roasted for too long.

After she finished eating, Lu Jinsen looked over expectantly and asked, "How is it?"

"good."

"..." He knew that Meng Chuyuan would not say anything better than "okay", because he really had not reached that standard yet.

Meng Chuyuan took a bamboo stick and poked the middle piece of steak. When he pulled it out, he didn't see any blood on the stick, confirming that the steak was almost cooked.

"We can put this meat away now and grill the oysters."

Lu Jinsen nodded: "Okay."

[That's it?? I can't believe Sister Meng didn't find fault with him.]

[Help! Lu Jinsen is so good, I'm following my family first. If he still has problems... we can talk about it later. Wow, he has me a little fascinated now.]

[With Sister Meng as a life mentor, I think it's likely that Lu Jinsen is also worthy of it. Sisters ahead, go ahead and go ahead boldly]

[For Sister Meng's sake, I'll just show some love for her.]

[As expected of Sister Meng's disciple, he's getting better and better.]

They didn't get much meat in exchange, and half of it was given to Qi Zhen to roast, so two trips were enough.

Meng Chuyuan first prepared the garlic sauce, then placed the oysters one by one on the grill for Lu Jinsen, and then poured the freshly prepared garlic sauce on them.

"That's it, no need to turn it over, just wait until it's cooked." Perhaps because Meng Chuyuan was afraid that Lu Jinsen didn't have this awareness, he specifically reminded him.

Lu Jinsen uttered a soft "oh" and then said, "Then what should I do?"

"Aren't there potato slices and eggplants here? There's room to roast them next to them." Meng Chuyuan put two eggplants on first, then said to Lu Jinsen, "Turn them over and roast them. When the eggplant skin changes color, it means it's roasted through. Then use a knife to split it open, flatten it, brush it with oil, then add garlic sauce, and roast it for a while."

Lu Jinsen nodded slightly, indicating that he was familiar with the steps.

After Meng Chuyuan handed the job to him, she was not idle either. She sprinkled seasonings on the meat that had just been grilled.

At this time, the director was sitting aside eating grilled shrimp with salt and pepper. His seat happened to be facing Meng Chuyuan. He glanced at her holding a large bunch of meat in her hand and suddenly felt a little greedy.

Poultry meat has to be bought at the market, which costs money, so they prepare less.

The meals that the program crew ate these two days were similar to those that the guests ate. After the guests exchanged the ingredients, they digested the rest among themselves.

Seeing this scene, the director felt a little regretful.

If I had known this earlier, I would have prepared more.

The director thought about it, then picked up the plate of salt and pepper shrimp on the table, stood up and walked towards Meng Chuyuan.

The first people to discover the director's presence were the audience in the live broadcast room:

[Hahahaha why did the director suddenly appear in the camera?]

[He's holding a plate of shrimp. What's he doing?]

[Look at the direction they're heading, they're looking for Sister Meng. They're looking for abuse, director. But if I don't see the director getting humiliated, I feel like I'm half as happy.]

[The director's posture is like a little brother serving food, hahahaha]

When Meng Chuyuan noticed someone approaching her, she suddenly looked up, and unexpectedly, the person who appeared was the director.

She just called out "Director" softly as a greeting to him and didn't say anything else.

The director stood by for a while, watching Meng Chuyuan continue to work with his head down. After he finished the string of salt and pepper shrimp in his hand and threw the bamboo skewers away, he spoke: "Salt and pepper shrimp, do you want to try it?"

"Director, littering is wrong." Meng Chuyuan looked up not because of the director's words, but because he happened to see him throwing the bamboo sticks on the beach.

The camera only captured their upper bodies, so the audience in the live broadcast room did not see the director throw away the bamboo sticks and thought he just put his hand down.

Only after hearing Meng Chuyuan's words did the audience begin to react:

[What? The director actually littered?!]

[No way! I thought the director's only flaw was being stingy, but I didn't expect he's also so wicked.]

My impression of Director Luo was suddenly shattered. He organized guests to pick up trash on the beach yesterday. How could he be the first to create trash when it's only been a short time?

After hearing what Meng Chuyuan said, the director suddenly realized that he was in the middle of a live broadcast. He quickly bent down and picked up the bamboo stick he had just thrown away.
