With their combined efforts, the first batch of four meat skewers was quickly grilled.
Meng Qingrou took out three sticks and gave them to He Yunxiao, saying, "Here, these are for you."
He Yunxiao didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the three lamb skewers. In terms of appetite alone, he could eat at least six times more than Nanzhu's wife.
Nanzhu's wife eats half a bowl of rice, but he has to eat three bowls.
He Yunxiao temporarily stopped making lamb skewers and began to taste the lamb skewers that his wife, Nanzhu, had personally grilled.
Honestly, the female lead's halo didn't enhance Nam Joo's cooking skills at all; in fact, she probably can't even cook. But that's the beauty of barbecue—whether you can grill it or not, it doesn't really matter, as long as you don't burn it or undercook it. Whether the meat is a little tough or a little tender, it's fine; it'll taste pretty good either way.
He Yunxiao finished all three, while Nanzhu's wife had only eaten half of her first one.
The large bowl that the waiter brought over contained mutton, beef, cleaned fish, and cleaned chicken. He Yunxiao had almost finished skewering the mutton and beef, and since he couldn't eat the rest yet, he wasn't in a hurry to skewer them.
Having finished the three meat skewers, He Yunxiao had nothing to do, so he took some beef skewers and started grilling them himself.
Barbecue only requires your hands; your eyes, of course, should be used to watch your wife, Nanzhu, eat.
Last time, when Nanzhu's wife ate snacks, He Yunxiao got a good look at her; this time, she was just as good at eating meat skewers.
Nan Zhu's wife was the eldest princess of the Great Qi Dynasty, and she was exceptional in both appearance and demeanor. This was evident in her behavior of immediately sitting up straight after making a mistake. It's likely a habit she developed as a child through strict discipline.
He Yunxiao watched Nan Zhu's wife eat.
She placed the skewers of meat horizontally in front of her, in a very deliberate way, not far from her mouth. She could touch them with just a slight tilt of her head, but if she didn't tilt her head, there was no chance of touching them.
After finishing one bite, she lowered her head to take the next. Her small mouth opened slightly, only a little larger than the meat on the skewer, so that the meat could fit perfectly in her mouth.
The bite wasn't just any bite; it was taken only with the very front teeth. After biting down, a gentle pull was given to tear the meat off the bamboo skewer. Some of the meat remained in the mouth, while some stayed on the lips.
At this moment, instead of using her tongue to clean the flesh outside her mouth, she extended her slender, white index finger and pushed the flesh inside her mouth. After doing this, she immediately wiped her finger clean with a handkerchief.
He Yunxiao estimates that when actually eating, chopsticks are used to perform the actions of the fingers.
With all the meat in her mouth, she began to chew.
The little mouth remained closed the entire time, and the movement was minimal.
Chew and chew, chew and chew.
He Yunxiao counted, and she chewed about thirty times before swallowing the meat into her lower abdomen.
When Nanzhu's wife was eating, she sat upright the whole time, without moving her legs or placing her hands quietly on her lap.
Looking at his wife Nan Zhu's small lips, He Yunxiao regretted only taking a quick sip earlier. Just touching her lips didn't allow him to taste her flavor at all. He needed to conquer her completely and plunder her thoroughly.
He Yunxiao has only tasted the flavors of Sister Du and Sister Jiang so far.
Du Meimei's taste is like morning dew, slightly sweet and very thirst-quenching. Jiang Jiejie's taste is the opposite; it's like honey, all-natural, very sweet, and even needs to be diluted with water. Eating too much of it is overwhelming.
While He Yunxiao was lost in thought, Nanzhu's wife had almost finished her lamb skewer.
Seeing that the beef skewers in his hand were almost cooked, He Yunxiao handed them directly to Nanzhu's wife, urging her to continue eating.
So Meng Qingrou put down the lamb skewers she had finished eating, picked up the beef skewers He Yunxiao had given her, and continued to eat them elegantly in small bites.
After He Yunxiao finished grilling this batch of meat skewers, he handed one to his wife, Nanzhu, and kept the rest for himself.
While watching his wife, Nanzhu, eat gracefully with small bites, he used his teeth to pluck a skewer of meat and put it into his mouth, chewing it heartily.
Learning from Nan Zhu's wife is work, enjoying skewers is life. Neither will interfere with the other.
By the time He Yunxiao had finished all five skewers of beef, Nanzhu's wife had only just finished her first skewer.
After this phase ended, He Yunxiao started grilling lamb skewers again.
As he grilled, He Yunxiao felt something was off. He thought about it carefully and realized that when he used to eat barbecue, he always had some carbonated drinks and beer with him. Now that this was ancient times, the lack of either of those was a real shame.
However, even if there are no carbonated drinks and beer, surely there must be some vegetables, right?
He Yunxiao said, "Nanzhu, you stay here for a while. I'll go down and ask if there are any vegetables we can grill."
Meng Qingrou asked, "Vegetables?"
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "Silly girl, vegetables can be roasted too."
Meng Qingrou took the lamb skewers that He Yunxiao handed her, which were being grilled on a wire mesh, and couldn't help but mutter, "Nan Zhu isn't a little fool."
"Okay, okay, not a little fool, but a little idiot."
"Nam-joo isn't a little fool."
"Okay, not a little idiot, but a little fool."
"Nan Zhu is not a little fool."
"If Nanzhu isn't a little fool, then what is she?"
Holding a skewer of meat in her hand, Meng Qingrou said matter-of-factly, "It's a little idiot."
"Pfft."
He Yunxiao originally planned to go downstairs to get some vegetables, but after standing up, he was made to bend over laughing by his lovely wife, Nanzhu.
Meng Qingrou was focused on grilling the meat, still not understanding what He Yunxiao was laughing at.
With her head tilted slightly, her big, innocent eyes blinked adorably.
"He Yunxiao, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing. Namjoo is a little fool."
