Chapter 191 - Camping in the Suburbs (2/2)
“Don’t you still have a brother?”
Xu Le went forward to comfort his sister. Xu Tian sniffed and said, “But I’m not the person Brother loves the most…”
Lu Yuxi had finished cutting the last piece of pineapple and placed them neatly in a glass lunch box. She poured thick yogurt with strawberry bits on it and handed it to Xu Tian. She smiled and asked, “Why aren’t you?”
She was about to tell Tiantian not to think too much about it when Xu Tian said, “Because my brother likes you the most.”
Lu Yuxi choked and took a deep breath. She felt her back turning hot as she sorted out her messy mind and was about to speak.
Xu Le rushed to speak first, “Then who does Sister Lu like the most?”
Xu Tian stopped crying and hesitated. “…Me?” “That’s right!”
“Look, Sister Lu likes you, and so do I. Everyone in the family likes you.”
After Xu Le finished speaking gently, Xu Tian paused for a moment, as if she had forgotten to cry. She was seriously thinking about the truth in that sentence.
Lu Yuxi nodded with a resolute gaze.
Xu Tian reached out for her to hug her. The child’s emotions came and went quickly. She wiped her tears and ate a few pieces of fruit scoop before chasing after the puppy to play. Gradually, the sky turned completely dark. Under the roasting fire, oil gradually seeped out from the surface of the sheep’s leg. Layer after layer of barbecue sauce was brushed on it. The smell of chili cumin mixed with various spices was stimulated by the high temperature. The entire lawn was filled with the fragrance of meat.
The families who were camping at the side were too embarrassed to come over, so they pulled their children who were clamoring to watch into the tent, except for the puppy.
Xu Le lowered his head and saw the puppy sitting upright behind Xu Tian. Its tail was wagging like a propeller that was about to take off.
“You want to eat roasted lamb chops too?” Xu Le muttered. He cut open the layer with seasoning on the surface. The meat inside was not completely cooked and had traces of blood.
He turned the knife sideways, cut off a piece of mutton, and threw it to the puppy.
The puppy wagged its tail happily and ate it. After tasting the delicious mutton, it stopped wagging its tail and even barked to urge him to be faster.
Xu Le smiled and said, “It’s not fully cooked. I’ll give it to you after it’s cooked.”
Xu Zhexian was in charge of turning the grill the entire time. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely, causing his clothes to become stuck to his body. He had found a cardboard from somewhere and used it as a fan to fan himself.
After another hour, there was continuous sizzling sound of oil dripping onto the fire, emitting a charred fragrance. The surface of the mutton was also emitting oil. The fragrance of the barbecue spice was completely marinated into the meat. Because the fire was at the right temperature, only the outermost layers were slightly darker while the rest of the meat was golden.
As the mutton was tender and fresh enough, and it had been marinated with wine in advance, there was basically no stench. Only the rich fragrance of meat spread.
At this moment, the families in the tent finally couldn’t sit still anymore. Some of them came over with beer and drinks, while others came over to greet Xu Le and his family.
“Are you guys camping here too?”
“It’s fate that everyone has the chance to meet. I brought wine. Come have a drink.”
As soon as the man finished speaking, he looked down and saw the puppy rubbing against his pants. He said in surprise, “Ball ball? Why are you here?”
“Daddy, I want to eat that. Tell Uncle to sell it to us.”
After the child interrupted, the man could no longer hold it in. He smiled and said honestly, “It’s like this. Our family came to camp and smelled your roasted meat. The child made a fuss and said that he wanted to eat it, so we ordered takeout.”
