Chapter 337: Chapter 337 Accompanying Travel—1
Wei Jinyi’s blush made Wei Ruo doubt if she had picked up the wrong drink.
“This is taro bubble milk tea, not fermented glutinous rice balls with wine.”
After a careful look, Wei Ruo confirmed that she hadn’t made a mistake.
We Jinyi regained his composure and continued to eat his taro bubble milk tea hurriedly.
“Second Brother, don’t eat so fast. If you get full on bubble milk tea, you won’t have room for barbecue. I’ve prepared a lot of delicious barbecue ingredients.”
“Um.” Wei Jinyi stopped, but he didn’t dare to look at Wei Ruo again, and turned away.
On the other side, Xiumei and Xiaobei were busy happily.
Xiaobei looked at the seafood on the barbecue grill and couldn’t help but ask Xiumei, “Lady Xiumei, where did the young lady get all this seafood? I heard that the Japanese pirates have been causing trouble again lately, and the government has prohibited the seaside fishermen from going out to sea, but your seafood is all fresh, it looks like they were just harvested in the past two days.”
Xiumei gave a mysterious smile. “I won’t tell you, it’s my lady’s secret!”
Then Xiumei asked Xiaobei, “What has your master been busy with? He had the rare opportunity to study with the Tibetan layman, but he has been busy for half a year.”
Xiaobei smiled, “That’s my master’s secret too!”
Xiumei hummed softly, not asking further. She had just asked casually without expecting to learn anything. If her lady didn’ t necessarily want to know something, she naturally wouldn’t ask more.
“Lady Xiumei, has your lady been in a poor mood recently?” Xiaobei continued to inquire.
“Why should my lady be in a bad mood?” Xiumei countered.
“Isn’t there all sorts of gossip going around outside? They even said that your lady was rejected by the Xiu family.”
“What nonsense is that? My lady and the Xiu family have no marriage contract. Where did this talk of breaking off an engagement come from? I don’t know who has such a loose tongue to spread such wild rumors.” Xiumei said irritably.
Xiaobei echoed, “Exactly, they really do like to fabricate stories. What does the Xiu family’s refusal have to do with this matter? Their refusal is clearly because of our young master…”
“What about your young master?” Xiumei turned her head and looked at Xiaobei with a puzzled face.
“I mean, our young master was quite happy for the young lady when they refused because he knew the young lady didn’t want to negotiate a marriage with them.” Xiaobei quickly explained.
“Naturally.”
“Our young master came back early this time for this matter concerning the young lady.” Xiaobei added.
“The second young master does care a lot about our lady. But his worry this time was unnecessary; our lady is not upset at all.”
“That’s good.”
While the two were talking, they continued to barbecue, and brought the cooked food to the table once it was done.
Garlic scallops, garlic oysters, grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken legs, grilled chicken gizzards, grilled eggplants, and grilled sweet potatoes.
The aroma of the meat was mouthwatering.
Xiumei specially introduced, “Our young lady made different sauces for different ingredients and they all have been marinated to enhance their flavors. Second young master, please try them. Anyone who comes here does not get this treatment, only you, the second young master, can taste so many different flavors of barbecue that our young lady personally mixed.”
“Mhm.” A warm smile appeared on the corner of Wei Jinyi’s mouth, as if he could already taste the deliciousness of the barbecue without even eating it.
We Ruo asked Xiumei and Xiaobei to sit down, as before, everyone ate together, it was lively.
Having a barbecue should be this lively.
