He prepared the ingredients himself today. Although everyone skewered the skewers together, he was still sure that all the prepared skewers were there.
There's only one possibility for Hong Xiaoduo to ask this: she's planning to "take" some more ingredients, from who-knows-where.
There was clearly enough food, far more than he could eat, but she still took more. She was thinking that he was leaving soon and wanted him to eat more so that he wouldn't have any more later!
Thinking of this, Tianxuan's eyes reddened.
“I know where it is. Let’s go get it,” Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
"I'll go with you," Ye Liangcheng said immediately, standing up.
Upon hearing this, Tianxuan immediately looked at Hong Xiaoduo with some nervousness. Although this was her own brother, he was an outsider when it came to Hong Xiaoduo occasionally "taking out" things that they had never seen before.
Even the youngest Yao Guang knows not to ask too many questions or speak carelessly; this is a secret they all share and must protect.
"Let's go together then," Hong Xiaoduo agreed. She knew Tianxuan was worried, but it was alright, it was just this once. She probably wouldn't stay here for too many days.
Even if the second young master of the Ye family was curious about where the item was bought, given their recent acquaintance, it wasn't appropriate for him to pry. Even if he spent more time with Tianxuan and became closer, and asked her again, it was only this once, and Tianxuan could easily find an excuse to brush it off.
Tianxuan beckoned Tianji over to check on the meat skewers that had just been grilled on the stove, and then followed Hong Xiaoduo toward the kitchen.
Midway through, Tianxuan couldn't help but think that such a careless approach would be obvious to anyone who paid even a little attention.
The kitchen belongs to Lord Lan. Although it hadn't been used for a long time before he arrived, his men have been busy working on it since last night, going in and out countless times.
While the ingredients were being prepared, those people looked at them curiously again and again. Now that they suddenly brought out ingredients that they had never seen before, how could they not find it strange?
Compared to other people's kitchens, wouldn't it be a little better to "take" it from your own carriage?
However, looking at Hong Xiaoduo at this moment, she didn't seem to mind at all.
She probably doesn't care because she won't be staying here for long! Humph!
They soon arrived at the kitchen door, and Hong Xiaoduo still didn't make the two wait outside, but went in together.
Hong Xiaoduo had been in the kitchen before. I remember there was a cabinet there, and its placement was perfect for her to use as cover when "taking" things.
Hong Xiaoduo walked ahead and stopped in front of the cabinet. Tianxuan and Young Master Ye stood there waiting, watching her open the cabinet.
From the angle where the two brothers were standing, the open cabinet door blocked half of Hong Xiaoduo's body.
"They're quite good at finding people," Tianxuan thought to herself.
Then I saw Hong Xiaoduo take a step back, reveal herself and hand over a tray of things, which were also skewered with bamboo sticks and looked like fish tails.
“Opium fish tail.” Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking and continued to “take” it.
She mentally retrieved some chicken cartilage skewers, bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms, chicken wings, pork skin skewers, boneless duck feet, and squid skewers from the large refrigerated display case in the space.
She originally wanted to take some other things, but seeing that Tianxuan and Young Master Ye's trays were already piled high, there was no room even for the squid skewers she was about to take, so she gave up.
"Huh? There are so many! Can we grill them all?" Ye Liangcheng carefully examined the contents of the large tray in his hand. If he had paid any attention to the not-so-large cabinet, he would have wondered how so many things could be piled up inside.
"Alright, it's all here." Hong Xiaoduo held a tray in one hand and closed the cabinet door with the other.
Tianxuan looked at her, not knowing what to say. She was bullying her second brother. As the second young master of the prefect's family, he was served three meals a day. He had never been to the kitchen, or was he unfamiliar with the kitchen facilities?
Otherwise, how could you not recognize that cabinet as a dish rack? Just take one more step forward, stretch your neck and peek inside, and you'll see neatly arranged, brand-new dishes.
"Aren't you two too heavy? Can you give me some?" Hong Xiaoduo asked the two brothers, whose tray only had about twenty skewers of squid.
The trays that the two brothers were carrying contained roughly the same amount of weight, but it was obvious that Ye Liangcheng, who was three years older than Tianxuan, was having some difficulty carrying them.
If you only study books and don't practice martial arts, and don't do anything else, your physical strength will definitely suffer.
When Hong Xiaoduo asked, Ye Liangcheng wanted to say yes, but when he saw that his younger brother, who was younger than him, was carrying something just as light as his own, he tried to hold it with one hand. The tray tilted slightly and the food on it showed signs of rolling off, so he obediently put both hands on it.
So, how could he, as the older brother, be inferior to his younger brother? That would be too shameful!
Therefore, Ye Liangcheng firmly rejected Hong Xiaoduo's kind offer.
He feigned a relaxed expression, but in reality, he gritted his teeth, carried a tray of ingredients, and returned to the grill.
"Oh dear, you need to flip them frequently now, otherwise they'll burn and affect the taste." Back at the grill, seeing the meat skewers Tianji was grilling, Tianxuan quickly put down the tray she was holding and stepped forward to signal Tianji to make way and take over.
"Second Brother, you should let me grill it. You can teach me from the side." Tianji didn't want to leave.
He knew he wasn't good at it, so he had to hurry up and learn from his second brother. Otherwise, who would grill the food next time? It wasn't that he didn't know how, it's just that no one was as good as his second brother.
