This is the last night spent in the secret realm.
The campfire was burning, and sparks were exploding.
Starting a fire in this environment is like adding heat to heat. Qin Zhan and the others endured the heat to make a fire, just so they could have a bite of grilled fish.
Qin Zhan still remembers how Grandpa Li bribed them with a meal of grilled fish, turning him and Lou Xiaotian into Boss Lu's tools.
He still savors the delicious aroma and tender texture of the grilled fish.
Now, with the grilled fish on the campfire, Qin Zhan could no longer see anyone or anything else.
"Apply oil, apply more."
"Add the seasoning, I want it cumin flavored, lots of cumin."
"Quick, quick, flip it over, it's overcooked here."
Qin Zhan kept giving instructions to Jiang Yunhe. They had been eating the food Lu Wu had given them, so they wanted to give back to Lu Wu.
They'll be cooking the grilled fish tonight.
Of course, Lu Wu independently completed the marinating of the grilled fish and the proportions of the barbecue seasonings.
Qin Zhan, who was ready to use it immediately, was still not at ease and kept pointing and gesturing, trying to control the progress of Jiang Yunhe's grilling of the fish.
"If you're so capable, then you do it!"
Seeing the slightly charred belly of the grilled fish in his hand, Jiang Yunhe was worried about not being able to find a scapegoat.
Before Qin Zhan could react, she shoved the grilled fish into his hand and then moved away from the fire, ostensibly to cool him down.
"you……"
Holding back a string of curses is one thing, but not spitting them out is another.
Qin Zhan stared at the failed grilled fish with a dark expression. He secretly glanced at Lu Wu, and seeing that the other party was not paying attention to him, he turned his back to Lu Wu, used a knife to remove the charred parts, and brushed oil on the fish again before grilling it.
With some effort, it should be possible to salvage it.
Watching Boss Lu's smooth and skillful cooking techniques, Qin Zhan felt he could apply what he learned to other dishes.
"Um, bro... how about we get a different fish?"
Looking at the grilled fish that had been cooked again, Lou Xiaotian cautiously made a suggestion.
It's pitch black, is it edible?
Boss Lu's grilled fish was delicious and visually appealing, while Qin Zhan's was practically a counterfeit product.
"Cough...you don't believe me?"
Faced with Lou Xiaotian's questioning, Qin Zhan's stern face conveyed pressure, and Lou Xiaotian shrank back and remained silent.
As long as he doesn't lay a hand on me, that's fine.
Even without seeing it, Lu Wu could tell from the burnt smell in the air that the three men's grilled fish had failed.
Fortunately, she hadn't been counting on the three of them in the first place.
Lu Wu, who was looking down at her work, was trying to save face for Qin Zhan, but her hands were moving quickly.
Rows of grilled fish were placed around the fire.
The facilities here are basic, but the secret barbecue seasoning, after being baked at high temperatures, releases a spicy aroma that is enough to make one yearn for it.
Brush with oil, sprinkle with seasoning, then flip.
The steps are exactly the same, but the grilled fish produced by different people are worlds apart.
The skin of the grilled fish gradually turns golden and crispy, while the tightly wrapped fish meat remains white and tender.
This smoky aroma not only enhances the taste of the grilled fish, but also makes it more visually appealing.
The aroma of the seasonings permeates every inch of the fish, preserving its natural freshness while adding a unique barbecue flavor.
Some say that the smoke rising from a barbecue is the essence of human life.
And these wisps of smoke, carried by the wind, drifted into the distance.
Lu Wu's grilled fish gradually took shape, while Qin Zhan's grilled fish gradually lost its fish.
Flip it over, and pop it.
A piece of blackened charcoal broke off from the fish and fell into the fire.
Even though the cooking temperature was the same, Qin Zhan had the skill to turn a grilled fish into a charcoal.
With a slight touch, a piece broke off; Qin Zhan's hand trembled, and the twig holding the grilled fish snapped.
The whole charred fish was smashed into the fire, and thick smoke billowed up.
Amidst the smoke and fire, Qin Zhan began to cough.
"cough……"
At first it was just a few soft coughs, but then he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he turned his head and coughed loudly, patting his chest as he did so.
"Cough cough cough!"
He almost choked to death by the thick smoke.
Splash!
The saying "birds of a feather flock together" is truly aptly described at this moment.
The opponent of a bad teammate is still a bad teammate.
Seeing the thick smoke billowing out, Lou Xiaotian quickly poured a basin of water onto the fire. The fire went out, but the smoke got even thicker.
Lu Wu was almost affected as well.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and took her fish away from the disaster site.
She held up several grilled fish, looking at Qin Zhan's dark face, her lips twitching.
"puff!"
Unable to hold back any longer, Lu Wu burst out laughing.
"Tsk, that's it?"
Jiang Yunhe chuckled and delivered the finishing blow at the opportune moment.
Three words, the ultimate mockery.
The two men stood still, brushing the ashes off their bodies, their heads bowed and eyes lowered, not daring to make a move.
But out of the corner of his eye, he was still glancing at the grilled fish in Lu Wu's hand.
It's impossible for them to offer gifts to Boss Lu now. They need to find a way to make amends in order to get grilled fish from Boss Lu.
I must say, it smells amazing!
Even though they smelled of burnt charcoal, it couldn't mask the aroma of the grilled fish.
Fortunately, Lu Wu hadn't expected these people to succeed from the start.
These grilled fish were originally meant for them. Lu Wu lifted the fish up, and was about to suggest that they share them when he heard a loud bang in the air.
Something is flying at high speed.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of Lu Wu, and immediately wrapped around the grilled fish in Lu Wu's hand.
The jet-black scales looked dull and grayish, without any luster.
Its slender body held the fish tightly, refusing to let go.
It opened its mouth.
It has a slender body and a big mouth.
