Wang Yan: "A hunger strike?"
"Is the food Xue'er made delicious?"
Wang Yan: "Need I say more? It's absolutely delicious!"
She seemed to understand something, slapped her forehead, and exclaimed, "I know! I understand!"
Zhou Jie asked, "What do you know? What do you understand? Oh dear, do I even need to understand this? Anyway, Xue'er's cooking is really delicious. We're all in for a treat later!"
Wang Yan led the group directly to Aunt Li's yard, which was separated by only two walls. The maid set up the barbecue grill and brought out the charcoal.
Several people prepared the cut meat skewers, sprinkled on the seasonings, and started grilling them over a fire.
I have to say, Han Luoxue's barbecue seasoning is really delicious. Just as the meat started to sizzle and ooze oil, the seasoning was sprinkled in, and with a sizzle, the aroma immediately spread.
Not to mention the few people grilling meat, even the girls surrounding them couldn't help but swallow hard.
The aroma started spreading from the barbecue stall, slowly crossing the courtyard wall, and rushing into the yard and into the rooms.
Following her elder brother's advice, Aunt Li went on a hunger strike at home after returning.
She wasn't completely skipping meals; before going home, she had considered that her son might not agree, so she bought a few snacks.
I hid them all in the room and ate a bite when no one was around at night.
But this way, I couldn't get enough to eat, and on top of that, I was lying in bed all day, feeling weak and listless.
Five or six days later, she reached her limit. She had run out of snacks and could only drink water each day. She was so hungry that her stomach was practically touching her back.
Unfortunately, neither her husband nor her son came to comfort her as her older brother had said, nor did anyone agree to her demands.
Aunt Li grew angrier the more she thought about it. She had lived most of her life with the Zhou family, and even if she hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, she had certainly put in a lot of hard work.
Especially her son, Zhou Jun, is an absolute gem.
But now not only does her son not understand her, but even her husband doesn't try to please her.
Her request wasn't unreasonable; she simply asked that her brother, younger brother, and nephew be placed in the Zhou family's shop.
With so many shops owned by the Zhou family, what's wrong with assigning a few more people?
But even with this small request, her son ignored it.
Aunt Li grew angrier the more she thought about it, and for the past two days she'd been hiding in bed, crying. Adding to that, her stomach was growling loudly with hunger.
When she first started her hunger strike, her maid would come and ask her what was wrong, but now the maid doesn't even bother to ask anymore.
Eating out was even more of a torment for her.
But now? Aunt Li was still crying sadly when suddenly she smelled an extremely rich aroma at her nose. It was the aroma of meat—roasted meat.
Aunt Li took a deep sniff; the smell was wonderful.
Her stomach was already growling loudly from hunger, and when she suddenly smelled such a rich aroma, it growled even louder!
She rolled out of bed, but the room was empty; even the maid had disappeared to play somewhere.
She stood up, walked to the table, poured herself a glass of water, and gulped it down.
In the past, when she was very hungry, she would drink water, and it was quite effective.
At least for a while, once its stomach was full of water, it stopped making noise.
She had already drunk three glasses of water, but her stomach was still rumbling, and the rich aroma wafting from her nose was the smell of roasted meat, which smelled better than any she had ever eaten before.
Aunt Li couldn't help but swallow hard. She opened her mouth to start cursing, but suddenly she heard the sound of several people laughing and talking.
"Oh my, Xue'er, your skills have improved again! I think the meat you grill now tastes much better than it did back in Hutouya Village!"
Zhou Jie still thinks back to the first time she ate Han Luoxue's barbecue. It was the first time she had ever tasted this kind of meat, and it amazed her.
After eating it once, she wanted to eat it a second and a third time, and even every day, without getting tired of it.
Han Luoxue's cooking is also exceptionally delicious.
It's even better than what her chef makes.
"Yeah?"
Han Luoxue smiled faintly. At that time, she didn't have all the seasonings she needed; she used very few, and they were all bought from the market.
Seasonings were already extremely scarce in this era.
But now, all the spices she has are grown in her own space. Whenever the shop refreshes and adds spice seeds, she buys them all.
This stuff is useless, but it can satisfy a craving.
Moreover, much of her space is planted with spices, and given the high yield here, the amount of spices she has is already astonishing.
"real!"
"I feel the same way, Xue'er. Your cooking is getting better and better, especially this barbecue. If we set up a barbecue stall on the street, I bet a lot of people would want to come and have a skewer of barbecue!" Du Linlang smiled gently; she was the most reserved of the three.
"Of course, Xue'er, when are we going to start having a barbecue?"
Actually, there is barbecue at the resort, but it's not every day. They only barbecue once or twice occasionally, which is enough to amaze people in Beijing.
However, the taste of the food grilled there was completely different from the food grilled by Han Luoxue herself.
"Well... let's wait a while!" Han Luoxue thought for a moment. To grill such good meat, besides having her own unique barbecue seasoning, she also needed meat from her space.
If you use meat from outside, the taste will be slightly worse.
She rarely takes things out of the space by herself anymore; this needs to be planned out carefully!
"Sister Xue'er, I think we can make this a chain reaction!"
Zhou Jie's mind is working incredibly fast now. "Didn't you say before that you wanted to do a chain? We can do it! Let's try to open stores all over the country. That's not just ordinary money!"
Du Linlang's eyes lit up when she heard this. Just by the smell of the grilled meat in her hand, she believed that as long as the shop opened, the business would definitely be booming!
"Sister Han, if you really want to open a barbecue restaurant, don't forget to give my dad something from Yancheng!"
Her father is still eagerly waiting!
Seeing their eager expressions, Han Luoxue smiled and stuffed the freshly grilled meat into their hands: "Eat up, this grilled meat tastes best when it's fresh out of the grill!"
The group began to wolf down their food.
The four or five girls surrounding them kept swallowing hard. When they came out of the second exam, Han Luoxue handed them a few skewers.
The maids were flattered. They were Zhou family maids, and this was the first time they had ever been rewarded with something to eat by their master during a meal.
The group was touched, but dared not accept the gift.
