Jiang said that he was welcome to come fishing anytime in the future.

"Sir, the kebabs are here."

Butler Li, accompanied by a group of young men, brought up various kebabs on trays.

The freshly grilled meat skewers were steaming hot, and you could feel the oil bubbling and crackling.

"This flavor is very unique."

The headmaster was probably smelling cumin for the first time and found it quite peculiar.

"Headmaster, try it, it has a very unique flavor."

I've tried it and really like it. It's nice to sit down with a few like-minded friends, have some skewers and a few drinks, and feel very relaxed.

Jiang Shuyun went to her third grandfather's table and told them to eat more, as they were short on time yesterday and hadn't been able to grill as many different kinds of food.

"Shuyun, it's enough that your father is here with us. You take good care of the others; everyone who comes is a guest."

"Alright, Third Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Uncle, and other uncles, please make yourselves at home."

Jiang Shuyun had a drink with her third grandfather and the others, and then returned to the headmaster's table.

Everyone raved about the grilled skewers.

"Zhonglin, this food is really good, it has a homely feel to it!"

"Hmm, these snacks are pretty good to go with the drinks."

The headmaster and Director Fang were in agreement and enjoyed the meal.

"Grilled skewers are very spicy, so we have some brewed chrysanthemum tea here. It's good to drink some."

Jiang Shuyun was worried that everyone would get a sore throat from eating skewers and drinking baijiu, and there was no beer available at the moment!

"Yes, that's quite thoughtful."

The headmaster drank a cup; he was very careful about his eating habits and wouldn't overindulge.

Seeing that the headmaster was drinking chrysanthemum tea, everyone refrained from overindulging and followed suit, drinking tea and eating grilled skewers.

When scholars get together, they mostly talk about academic matters.

Brother Jiang listened most attentively; he rarely had the opportunity to be with so many knowledgeable people and benefited greatly from it.

Inner courtyard.

Mu Yi'an had the maids place the skewers in front of the guests, and then demonstrated by eating one herself.

The women ate more elegantly and wouldn't just eat it raw. Mu Yi'an wanted to, but she was afraid of scaring everyone present.

"Mmm, this tastes really good. The meat has a unique aroma, and it's fragrant but not greasy."

"I never thought these green vegetables could be grilled; it has a unique flavor."

"This is shrimp? It tastes better grilled than boiled!"

...

All the pleasant words poured into Mu Yi'an's ears. In any case, today's banquet was a success, at least there were no mistakes.
