It's good to take advantage of the time to shave some bamboo skewers for later use.

"It's in the kitchen. What? Do you need it now? I'll go get it for you."

Reaching out to stop Ye Lingyu, who was about to fetch bamboo, he said, "Wife, I'll get the bamboo later. Let's save a leg of lamb, take some meat, and make some lamb soup."

The dietary habits of people in this dynasty were similar to those in the Song dynasty. They ate more mutton than pork, and they also ate beef.

"Are we only having lamb for dinner?"

"There are also various dishes, my wife, you'll have to cover for me later~"

Okay~

Meng Chuying had only visited Cheng Qingyan's space once before, when she had a high fever.

What she saw and heard that time felt like a dream. Afterwards, she was somewhat confused and couldn't remember it clearly.

Having lived independently for the past few years, she knows what she should and shouldn't ask, so since Ye Lingyu and Cheng Qingyan didn't bring it up, she didn't ask either.

Less curiosity makes it easier to live longer.

She didn't ask Cheng Qingyan when he bought this strange cooking tool; she simply followed Ye Lingyu's example and helped wash the vegetables and skewer them.

The oven was provided by the space home, and Ye Lingyu lit the charcoal fire.

While baking in the kitchen, because it would take a long time, Cheng Qingyan expressed to Ye Lingyu her wish that she could have some small, thin pancakes to eat with it.

As the only person in the family who can cook, Ye Lingyu said she would take care of it.

A large pot of mutton and cabbage soup was bubbling away, steaming gently. Small pancakes were being baked in a smaller pot, and a plate of already-baked pancakes sat on the stove.

Cheng Qingyan flipped the lamb chops on the rack with one hand and turned a bunch of meat skewers over with the other.

The meat skewers sizzled and steamed over the charcoal fire, filling the room with their delicious aroma.

"My lady, Chuying, are you almost done? We can eat now!"

There are still two pancakes to fry, and the mutton and cabbage soup in the other pot is ready.

Ye Lingyu said to Meng Chuying, who was tending the fire, "Chuying, go wash your hands and eat first. You don't need to add more firewood."

"Okay, Sister Ye, I'm going to wash my hands now~"

Sliced ​​scallions, fresh cilantro, prepared sauce, and a warm pancake.

Cheng Qingyan taught Meng Chuying how to roll a pancake, and this pancake was very versatile. You could roll whatever you liked to eat inside, and if you felt the flavor was too bland, you could brush on a layer of sauce.

She had put less chili powder in the sauce, and Meng Chuying's face turned red from the spiciness after taking a bite. She stuck out her tongue and slurped.

"Wife, open your mouth~" The first pancake that was rolled out was fed to Ye Lingyu's mouth.

Ye Lingyu took a bite, and it tasted surprisingly good. Cheng Qingyan didn't feed her a second bite; instead, she put the piece of cake that Ye Lingyu had taken a bite of into her own mouth.

While slurping up spicy food, Meng Chuying couldn't help but complain about Cheng Qingyan's shamelessness in stealing Ye Lingyu's pancake.

Cheng Qingyan was fearless: "You little kid don't understand. Your sister Ye and I are a couple. Besides, this isn't called stealing, it's called fun."

Ye Lingyu picked up a white cake from the side and stuffed it into Cheng Qingyan's mouth: "Chu Ying is still a child, please stop talking."

With her mouth stuffed with a biscuit, Cheng Qingyan could only make muffled noises.

When you roll vegetables in a pancake, even meat doesn't taste greasy.

Besides meat, there are also roasted cabbage leaves, roasted chives, roasted eggplant, and so on.

The portions aren't very large. The barbecue tastes best when it's freshly grilled, but the leftovers don't have the same flavor.

Neither Ye Lingyu nor Meng Chuying had ever seen this way of eating before, and they felt that the meat and vegetables became even more flavorful after being grilled over charcoal.

Adding barbecue seasoning makes the already delicious skewers even more enticing.

Having not had barbecue for so long, Cheng Qingyan was really craving it, so she grabbed a lamb chop with her hand and started gnawing on it.

Meng Chuying was initially burned by the chili peppers, and it was thought that she wouldn't eat the chili sauce anymore, but unexpectedly, she still smeared some on the pancake.

Seeing that Chu Ying was sticking out her tongue from the spiciness, but still chose to eat the chili peppers, Cheng Qingyan asked her, "Chu Ying, if it's spicy, don't add any sauce. The dish next to you isn't spicy."

Meng Chuying gasped as she listened to the spiciness: "The spicy flavor is even better, it makes you want to eat more, and it's very fragrant. I love it."

She paused for a moment as she spoke, then took a few deep breaths, and I could feel the fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

Cheng Qingyan originally wanted to tell her to eat less chili and be careful about that, but in the end she only subtly told her to take care of her stomach.

The three of them tended the charcoal fire in the kitchen, grilling small meat skewers, living a contented and peaceful life.

Perhaps because the barbecue has a strong flavor, Ye Lingyu always eats it wrapped in a pancake.

A small piece of lamb chop was handed to Ye Lingyu: "Wife, try this lamb chop. This piece is only seasoned with a little bit of seasoning, and the meat is tender."

Okay, you eat too~

Meng Chuying ate until she was stuffed and said with some surprise, "I thought only Sister Ye could cook, but I didn't expect Brother Cheng's cooking to be so delicious."

Note that Meng Chuying said Cheng Qingyan made "things," while Ye Lingyu made "food."

Cheng Qingyan rolled her eyes at her, feigning anger: "My wife's cooking is naturally excellent, but I'm just as good, okay? Otherwise, how could I be worthy of such a wonderful wife!"

"Tsk, all you do is flatter yourself! I wonder who was it that used to bully Sister Ye every day, causing trouble and being a nuisance!"

"You said it yourself, that was before! Now and in the future, I will always be a good husband who listens to his wife and would never bully your sister Ye!"

"Sister Ye is a good person, of course you can't bully her!"

"No one is allowed to bully my wife, or I'll never forgive them!"

After they finished their meal, the two of them started arguing again, which was a kind of pastime.

Meng Chuying treated Ye Lingyu like an older sister, protecting her from not only Cheng Qingyan but also anyone in the village who spoke ill of Ye Lingyu.

"Are you still eating? Do you want more charcoal?" Ye Lingyu rolled up a pancake and ate it slowly.

"We want to eat!" Cheng Qingyan and Meng Chuying answered in unison.

No more charcoal was added, and all the prepared ingredients were grilled. The vegetables were almost finished, with only a lamb chop and a few skewers of meat left.

Previously, barbecue was always eaten with drinks, but now barbecue is eaten with mutton soup, which can be considered a new way of eating.

The mutton soup warmed me up, and the charcoal stove in the kitchen also radiated heat.

Despite it being a cold winter day, the three of them, having eaten and drunk their fill, had long since shaken off the chill.

For the kittens and puppies' dinner, Cheng Qingyan would scoop some mutton from the mutton soup, rinse it with water, and feed it to them.

Cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores, so the two dogs also ate the bread soaked in soup.

The three little ones ate until they were stuffed, and the two puppies surrounded the kitten, then lay down on the ground to rest.
