"We can begin now. The ingredients have already been prepared by the kitchen. Please move to the yard."
In addition to a large garden, the Yan family villa also has a courtyard specifically for camping and outdoor activities.
Everyone went to the yard, where charcoal and a barbecue grill were already prepared. Ingredients and condiments were placed on a large table, along with various drinks.
There were also a few small tables and stools nearby.
Everyone pitched in to grill the meat skewers and vegetables they wanted, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
"Let's have a competition to see who can bake the best, shall we?!"
Yan Yixing had an idea; she thought it would be delicious, fun, and create a great atmosphere.
With so many people, it's definitely not enough for him to grill all the food.
"Alright, alright, but how can we compare to you, Fifth Brother?"
Yan Yinran found it interesting and quickly agreed to participate, but having grown up in luxury and never having cooked before, she figured she would probably cook terribly.
"You have to try to know!"
Yan Yixing encouraged Yan Yinran.
"good!"
Yan Yinran immediately picked out a skewer of beef and ran over to grill it.
Everyone else was grilling too.
"Oh no! Fourth Brother, yours is burnt!"
Yan Xiluo smelled something burning and glanced over to find that Yan Qirui had burned the meat skewers.
"ah!"
Yan Qirui quickly picked it up when he heard it was burnt. He had originally wanted to bake it for Yan Xiluo, and he looked regretful.
"Fourth Brother, did you forget to apply oil? It's all dry, no wonder it burned!"
Yan Yixing could tell at a glance that there wasn't even any oil on it; it was practically dried meat.
"It seems so. I just put it on the grill and forgot to wash it."
He felt a little embarrassed. He had originally planned to dry the surface moisture before brushing on the oil, but he had forgotten such a simple thing.
"Hehe, it's okay. Fourth brother, get a few more skewers to grill. These are burnt and can't be eaten."
Li Shuwen smiled, feeling quite happy despite the burnt bits.
"Come on, everyone, try my baking."
Yan Mingxuan started by grilling a large bunch of squid, which cooked quickly. He then distributed the squid skewers to everyone.
"Hmm, the boss's cooking skills are quite good, the heat control is just right."
Yan Youting praised the food as he ate, saying that they rarely got to eat anything made by Yan Mingxuan.
"Brother, you've been hiding your true abilities!"
Even the second oldest, Yan Chenyu, couldn't help but praise it, eating one skewer after another.
"Second brother, even if it's delicious, eat less. There are still so many other things we haven't tried yet. Freshly baked food is more likely to cause internal heat, and you have a concert tomorrow!"
Yan Xiluo was worried that if he continued eating like this, his throat would be sore tomorrow.
"Yes, second brother, eat less and drink some herbal tea to cool down."
Yan Yinran quickly poured a cup of iced tea and placed it in front of Yan Chenyu.
"Isn't it you I have, sister? Just prescribe any medicine and I'll be fine!"
Yan Chenyu grinned foolishly at Yan Xiluo. What was there to be afraid of? The divine doctor was sitting right next to him. Hahaha, he was going to eat to his heart's content.
"Well... Second Brother, I'm not omnipotent. The medicine won't work immediately. You should probably control it a bit more."
Yan Xiluo felt embarrassed. She wasn't a god; how could she make him feel better immediately?
"Okay, I'll listen to you and eat less."
Yan Chenyu had no choice but to obey, after all, the concert was more important.
"Come on, try my cooking and see how well I baked it."
Yan Yuze sprinkled seasoning on his grilled meat skewers, and feeling they weren't spicy enough, he added a handful of chili powder. He then handed them to everyone.
"Whoa!"
Yan Yixing felt like her throat was on fire from the spiciness, and she kept exhaling. How much chili powder did Third Brother sprinkle on her?!
"Cough cough!"
Yan Yinran was also choked badly, so she grabbed the water next to her and gulped it down.
"Is it hard to eat?"
Yan Yuze noticed the two's strong reactions.
The others were about to eat, but stopped abruptly when they were almost in their mouths.
Yan Yixing and Yan Yinran were still recovering from the spiciness and remained silent.
Seeing that no one else was trying it, Yan Yuze picked up a skewer and started eating it himself.
"It's quite delicious."
He thought it was delicious, spicy and refreshing, so why did Lao Wu and Ranran have that expression?
Seeing that Yan Youting and Li Shuwen were about to try it, Yan Yixing frantically waved his hands, signaling them not to eat it. He knew that his parents couldn't handle this level of spiciness either.
"Then I'll try it."
Seeing this, Yan Xiluo didn't wait for Yan Yixing to stop her and ate it in a few bites.
"Actually, apart from being a bit spicy, it's quite delicious. It looks like Fifth Brother and Yinran were a bit overwhelmed by the spiciness. Mom and Dad, you shouldn't eat what Third Brother grilled; it's a bit too spicy for you."
Seeing that the two were red-faced from the spiciness and sweating profusely, Yan Xiluo quickly grabbed some yogurt from the table to help them cool down.
Yan Mingxuan and Yan Qirui, who are not afraid of spicy food, also tried it and thought it tasted good.
Yan Chenyu, who was eager to try, was deterred by a glare from Yan Mingxuan, and he obediently put down the extremely spicy skewer.
"Try my roasted eggplant. I only added a little spice, so everyone can eat it."
So that everyone can have some, she doesn't dare to add too much spice, because eating too much spice is bad for the stomach.
The roasted eggplant is topped with a generous amount of spicy minced garlic, giving it an irresistible aroma.
"Delicious! The flavor is just right, not oily or greasy, and it smells so good!"
Li Shuwen picked up some and savored it carefully. She had to admit that her skills were worthy of someone who had obtained a certificate.
Everyone else was so focused on eating that the eggplant was quickly devoured.
Afterwards, everyone finished grilling their own skewers and shared the fruits of their labor with each other.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiluo was grilling skewers for Lan Jingyan and also grilled a few fish for everyone.
"Dad, Mom, brother, Yinran, I'm full. These fish will be ready soon, you can eat them in a bit. I'm going to deliver some barbecue to Ayan now, I heard he's working overtime tonight."
As Yan Xiluo spoke, she packed the barbecue into a takeout box, then put it into an insulated bag, along with a bottle of yogurt and a bottle of juice.
"Okay, then drive carefully, it's so late."
Li Shuwen did not forget to give instructions.
"Do you want your older brother to give you a ride? It's so late."
Yan Mingxuan was worried that a young woman would be out so late at night.
"Brother, it's not appropriate for you to go. Don't disturb the young couple."
Yan Yuze felt that Yan Mingxuan was being tactless.
"Big brother, how about I go with you to see my sister off?"
Yan Yixing also wanted to make sure his sister was safely delivered there before he could feel at ease.
"Brothers, really, you don't need to. I drive very safely, don't worry!"
Yan Mingxuan and Yan Yixing looked at him with concern.
"Why are you all meddling in your sister's love life?"
Although Yan Youting was worried, his precious daughter was an adult and had her own space.
"That's right, that's right."
Li Shuwen thought Yan Youting was right.
"Little sister, please be careful!"
Yan Mingxuan finally relented, but his eyes still looked tense.
"Sister, please be careful."
Yan Yinran looked on with envy. She also wanted to be in a relationship, and thought it was wonderful!
"Okay, I'll be going now. You guys enjoy your meal!"
Yan Xiluo left carrying the late-night snack she had prepared for Lan Jingyan.
