Ye Tian flipped the skewers with her left hand and quickly sprinkled seasoning with her right hand, the aroma slowly spreading. "It's ready, who wants some?" Ye Tian divided the meat in half, took one half each, patted them lightly, then held up the golden, sizzling skewers and asked her classmates and roommates.
"I want it, I want it!" Everyone came up to take it without hesitation.
Li Yue was struggling with a string of chicken wings, she was in a panic and didn't know what to do. She was afraid of fire and didn't dare to move too forward, but the chicken wings would not be cooked through. She wanted to give up, but she couldn't give up halfway and throw the chicken wings away.
"Give me the chicken wings and eat the lamb skewers first!" Ye Tian took the chicken wings from her and handed her the last grilled lamb kebab.
Li Yue handed the chicken wing skewers to Ye Tian as if she had seen a savior, and then took the last meat skewer from Ye Tian's hand and took a light bite.
The fat of the mutton is well stimulated after being grilled on charcoal fire. With the addition of salt, chili powder, cumin and other seasonings, the mutton seems to be infused with soul. When you take a bite, the outer layer is crispy and fragrant, and the inside is juicy and fresh, with moderate spiciness. It is very delicious. After taking a bite, you will immediately want to take a second bite.
But Li Yue saw Ye Tian was busy grilling chicken wings for everyone and hadn't eaten the lamb skewers yet, so she broke the skewer in her hand in half and held the lower half to Ye Tian: "Open your mouth, I'll feed you!"
Ye Tian smiled and took three or four pieces of meat from the skewer into her mouth, pulling all the meat off. Then she said incoherently, "Mmm, delicious!"
Ye Tian only grilled eight skewers the first time. She didn't take any herself, and her roommate and classmate next to her only got one each. The skewers were too small, so before the second round even started, all eight of them had finished theirs and looked at Ye Tian with longing eyes.
Zhao Yu simply grabbed a handful of lamb skewers, more than 20 of them, and placed them in front of Ye Tian. "Tiantian, your grilled lamb is so delicious! It's even better than the ones at the barbecue restaurant outside our school. Woohoo! It's so delicious that I want to cry."
"Yes, yes, Ye Tian's barbecue skills are so professional, the food is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! It's so delicious!" A male classmate also nodded with his eyes shining.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, or everyone will hear us and come over, and we won't be able to eat!" Lu Xinyi pointed her finger and said to the classmates around her.
Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. But this didn't stop her from moving. She placed a row of meat skewers and a few chicken wings that her classmates didn't grill side by side on the grill, flipping them with one hand while holding a fan with the other, fanning the charcoal fire from time to time.
Eight or nine people around were staring at the oven eagerly, waiting for the second batch to be finished.
"Don't rush, leave a few for Tiantian first!" Lu Xinyi shouted first, and Zhao Yu quickly separated a string of chicken wings and a few skewers of meat and left them for Ye Tian.
Then, they each grabbed two skewers of meat and started eating. There were only two chicken wings on a skewer, and there were not many grilled skewers, so each person could only get one.
Ye Tian put dozens of grilled skewers on the stove, along with a few skewers of chicken wings, leeks, and corn. After the stove was almost full, she picked up her own skewers and ate them.
"Yeah, that's really good," she mentally praised herself. She'd been good at grilling meat and whole lamb before, so why hadn't she thought of grilling the meat in small skewers like this? It was definitely more convenient, and it made the food more flavorful.
She'd been occasionally going to the food court near the school with her roommates to get food, and when she saw others grilling, she'd secretly observed them. Today, she'd just put it into practice. "My skills are truly amazing! Grilling skewers is a piece of cake!" she boasted.
After the second round, the other students noticed something was wrong.
The sounds next to the other ovens are:
“The mutton kebab was half-burnt and not very tasty!”
"The chicken wings are not cooked yet. There are still blood inside."
“Why is eggplant tasteless?”
"Will we get diarrhea if we eat it?"
…
Only Ye Tian and the others were very quiet. Everyone was enjoying their meal, then gazing at Ye Tian who was standing by the oven with their chins in their hands. Moreover, Ye Tian was the only one responsible for the oven.
Class monitor Kong Lingxing was the first to run over. He saw that the League Secretary Zhao Yu had been guarding the grill here and not interacting with other students, so he prepared to call her.
When he got closer, he saw that everyone was gathered around the grill looking at Ye Tian. He also saw that Ye Tian's grilling posture was so skillful.
At this moment, the skewers on the grill were making a sizzling sound, dripping oil into the charcoal, and the charcoal fire inside was red. After watching for a while, he couldn't help but wait beside them.
After a while, a few more curious students came over. Just like that, more and more people gathered around Ye Tian's oven.
When there were too many people, there wasn't enough to go around. Although everyone was almost entirely fighting for the food, they would always leave a few skewers for Ye Tian first, and then they would grab the rest.
"Why is it that Ye Tian's barbecue is so much better than ours, even though we are grilling the same ingredients over the same charcoal?" the students couldn't help but wonder. One student even asked Ye Tian, "Student Ye, does your family own a barbecue restaurant?"
Ye Tian smiled and said no.
After finishing a skewer of grilled pork tendons, the class monitor gave a thumbs-up. "Ye Tian, you're a real chef! How did you make it so delicious? It's amazing! If there's another class activity like this, you must come and participate!"
"How about I teach everyone how to bake?" Ye Tian saw so many classmates looking at her and felt that she really couldn't supply enough food.
"No, no!" The classmates around him quickly refused. "We can't do it? Of course not, we can do it! But our eyes can do it, but our hands can't!" Everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere was great.
It was not until the sun set that the food was almost used up and everyone was half full that the whole class ended this happy barbecue time.
On the bus back, everyone even sang the songs they had sung during military training together.
"The sun sets in the west, the clouds turn red. The soldiers return to camp after target practice. The red flowers on their chests reflect the rosy clouds, and joyful songs fill the sky..."
The evening sun shone on Ye Tian's face, warm and golden. It seemed like everyone discovered for the first time that Ye Tian was actually a beauty!
Ye Tian didn't know that after this barbecue, she became the goddess in the hearts of many classmates: she is beautiful, gentle, and her barbecue is so delicious. Why didn't they notice it before?
However, some classmates jokingly called her the "barbecue goddess", and Ye Tianyi didn't know whether she should be happy or not.
Although she has the title of "Barbecue Goddess", Ye Tian still has to go back to the cafeteria to do the chores of washing vegetables, preparing food, and cleaning.
But the turning point soon came.
