Chapter 218 Barbecue



After discussing the topic of building a water park in Jiangnan with Huo Shan, Li Xingran went to the most scenic spot in the entire park.

Surrounded by streams, Li Xingran had all sorts of flowers planted here, some of which are now in full bloom.

On the lawn, there are more than two hundred deck chairs, all covered by huge umbrellas, so you don't have to worry about the sun or the rain.

If you get tired of playing, you can rest here.

Beside the stream, there are countless platforms made of bricks.

Sherry, along with a group of children—Hong'er and Xia Deqing's grandchildren—and several young men and women who worked at Happy Valley, were starting a fire there.

Because Sherry said that there would be a delicious barbecue to eat later, but they were short of a few helpers to start the fire.

These little guys tugged at Sherry's clothes and came here.

When Shirley saw that Li Xingran had arrived at the agreed time, she was so happy that she took Li Xingran's hand.

"Miss, I've lit fires for twenty barbecue grills. Is that enough?"

Li Xingran: "That's enough. Xue Li, you're amazing. You managed to get so many helpers."

Li Xingran's carriage was driven to this place, and another carriage carrying various ingredients was also parked here.

After the fire was lit, Li Xingran asked everyone present to help move things.

Today is a day for eating, drinking, and having fun.

The days ahead will likely be busy again.

Once the barbecue grill was ready, people who had been scattered around gathered here.

People who are tired from playing can rest on the deck chairs.

Although the sun is a little bit hot, it's almost autumn and the occasional breeze can help cool things down.

When Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin saw that Li Xingran had come up with a new trick, and the smell was so good, it was so fragrant and tempting!

So they quickly gathered around, learned for a while, and then started working on their own.

Li Ruiheng was in charge of the barbecue for his wife, his elder brother and sister-in-law, and Hong'er.

Li Ruijin and Wang Shi started doing it themselves, and Luo Bingqian also joined in.

Xiao Sheng and Li Xingran were inseparable today.

Li Xingran instructed Xiao Sheng to assist her, just as she would an underling, by handing her seasonings and tools.

After Li Xingran finished roasting the chicken wings, she first delivered them to Xu Yushan, Ren Wuyou, and her own parents.

Following suit, Xia Qinyin, with Li Ruiqi's help, also grilled a few skewers of mutton and gave them to her parents.

Fan Zuan is a good cook, and barbecue is one of his favorite takeout options. He is very skilled at grilling meat.

Little Ma has completely become Fan Zuan's little follower.

This is practically a god in Little Horse's heart. He can cure diseases, cook, and grill delicious meat that he has never tasted before. The key point is that Dr. Fan is also good-looking.

The emperor didn't even offer Doctor Fan an official position.

The little horse thought to itself, "What a heartless emperor!"

Xiao Sheng waited and waited, but had Li Xingran forgotten about him?

Disheartened, he prepared to gather ingredients and become self-sufficient.

Just as I was feeling lost and lamenting, several skewers of grilled chicken wings and grilled lamb appeared beside me.

It looks delicious.

Turning around, who else could it be but the person I've been longing for?

This smiling face is smiling at itself.

Her bright, sparkling eyes revealed absolutely no trace of guile.

He had known for a long time that Li Xingran was beautiful. But he had never paid attention to just how beautiful she was before.

Today seems different from the past.

Li Xingran was so beautiful it was almost excessive, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

She still dresses like a young girl, and although she's lost her baby teeth, it hasn't affected her beauty at all.

Xiao Sheng pinched himself, afraid that he might do something reckless.

All I could do was respond with a happy smile.

"Xingran, you finally remembered me!"

Xiao Sheng's voice was tinged with grievance again.

Li Xingran: "How could I forget you, my Emperor! I still have to make a living under your command!"

"Eat quickly, there are other fun activities after you finish eating. Let's go together. I'll teach you how to drive, okay?"

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but think how wonderful this girl was.

Not only are they knowledgeable, talented, and capable, but they are also sincere to everyone.

I would never intentionally harm anyone.

Xiao Sheng put the roasted beef in his mouth and exclaimed as he ate, "Xingran, this way of cooking beef has a unique flavor!"

You modern people are so clever, you know so much!

Li Xingran: "That knowledge was accumulated by generations of predecessors, and it may have required the sacrifice of many lives to acquire."

"When will Nanchen Kingdom be able to develop into a modern society like yours?"

Li Xingran looked troubled: "Xiao Sheng, if you were to go overseas, or rather, send our students from Nanchen to study abroad..."

Perhaps in less than two generations, we too will gradually develop into a modern society.

From the books Huo Shan brought back, Li Xingran learned that the overseas regions of this planet were developing industry, and various technological pioneers were emerging one after another.

It's time for Nanchen Kingdom to send its best talents abroad to learn from the West.

Xiao Sheng: "What should I do?"

Li Xingran: "You can ask my father, after all, he was the top liberal arts student in Nanchen."

Xiao Sheng: "But I'd rather know your advice."

Li Xingran: "Sending students to study in the West is an urgent matter. Otherwise, even if we stay in the current Nanchen Kingdom, it will eventually fall into ruin."

Xiao Sheng: "I understand."

Li Xingran ended the conversation and got into the eating activity.

It's been so long since I've had such a hearty barbecue.

Cultivating immortality has led to a state of pure heart and few desires, to the point that one has almost forgotten the taste of meat. Indeed, the warmth and comfort of everyday life are what truly soothe the heart of mortals!

The barbecue ingredients prepared by Li Xingran amazed Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin for a long time.

Li Ruiheng: "Little sister, you mean you can roast and eat anything in the world, right?"

"Second brother, you're right. Anything edible can be grilled. Sprinkle it with cumin and barbecue seasoning, and all the vegetables and meats will become even more delicious."

Li Xingran explained calmly and confidently.

Suddenly, Li Xingran jumped up and said, "There's one more good thing, I forgot to take it down."

"Xiao Sheng, go to the carriage and get my several sealed wooden barrels. Bring them all down."

When everyone heard Li Xingran call the emperor by his name, they were initially startled, but then they thought that since the two were childhood sweethearts, this way of addressing him was not bad.

Li Ruiqi ran over to help carry the wooden bucket.

Li Xingran used her tools to open the lid of the wooden barrel, and a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

"Little sister, is this wine? It smells like wine." Li Ruiyue has the best nose.

"Yes, this is called wine. I made it myself, you can all try some in a bit."

When the remaining three buckets were opened, they contained colored water, the contents of which no one knew.

"This is a beverage made from the juice of various fruits and vegetables, with added sugar, it's a favorite among children."

Li Xingran asked Xue Li to bring out the glasses and pour wine or drinks for everyone present.

Adults look forward to beautifully colored wines, while children look forward to sweet drinks.
