Chapter 217 Barbecue
At noon.
The fog outside the window grew thicker and thicker, like a monster swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, devouring the last glimmer of light.
Jiang Li gazed at the changing fog outside the window, knowing that the morning fog was only temporarily dissipating.
She felt a little anxious, wondering whether the brief dissipation of the fog was a good thing or a bad thing.
Ye Jingmo quietly walked to Jiang Li's side, gently placing his large hand on Jiang Li's delicate hand and holding it tightly, as if to tell her that there was no need to worry.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Li snapped out of her daze and smiled at Ye Jingmo.
"Thinking about what to have for lunch today?"
"I'll make whatever you want to eat."
But given the current weather, how about having barbecue?
Ye Jingmo offered a suggestion.
Jiang Li thought about it carefully and decided that eating barbecue was a good idea.
After all, this weather is the best barrier to enjoying these strongly flavored dishes. If we miss it, we don't know when we'll be able to enjoy them freely again.
Since they couldn't go out and had nothing else to do, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went to the kitchen together to prepare lunch.
Jiang Li carefully cleaned the oven that had not yet been used, as if preparing it for a grand feast.
Ye Jingmo focused on slicing the fresh Wagyu beef into paper-thin slices.
The marbling on the beef was like snowflakes. Ye Jingmo sliced it into thin, even slices. The beef seemed to have a milky aroma when you got close, making it mouthwatering.
Jiang Li drained the washed lettuce, which was as green as jade, waiting to be perfectly combined with the grilled meat, which is one of the souls of grilled meat.
As soon as the power was plugged in, the temperature on the baking tray gradually rose. Jiang Li couldn't wait to feel the intense heat and anxiously awaited the birth of the delicious food.
Once the temperature was about right, Ye Jingmo used chopsticks to place the meat on top.
In an instant, a sizzling sound rang out, like a delicious symphony. The oil slowly seeped out, and the edges of the meat slices gradually curled up, turning an enticing golden brown. The aroma of meat filled the air, like a magic force, tantalizing people's taste buds.
Before Jiang Li could even pick up the grilled meat with her chopsticks, Jelly jumped onto the dining table, her bright cat eyes fixed on the grill, occasionally licking her lips with her tongue.
Pudding also ran to Jiang Li's chair, put its front paws on the chair, and looked at Jiang Li expectantly.
"Okay, I'll give you some when the meat is grilled."
Jiang Li's heart seemed to melt under their adorable gazes, so how could she refuse their small request?
It's just a little bit of barbecue, right? These furry kids want some, of course we should satisfy them!
Ye Jingmo used chopsticks to pick up a piece of grilled meat, dipped it in the barbecue sauce, and put it in Jiang Li's bowl.
Jiang Li watched Ye Jingmo's actions, licked her lips, and happily picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it in her mouth.
Jiang Li stared at Ye Jingmo's movements, unconsciously licked her lips, and happily picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it in her mouth.
Ye Jingmo then placed perfectly roasted slices of meat into the small bowls of jelly and pudding, without adding too many seasonings, preserving the original flavor of the meat.
As Jiang Li ate the grilled meat, the rich aroma of the seasonings burst forth on her tongue, followed by the unique milky fragrance of Wagyu beef after careful chewing.
Jelly held a slice of roasted meat in its mouth, tearing it apart in small bites without pausing for a moment, and occasionally making meowing sounds.
Unlike jelly, Pudding is quite bold, opening its mouth wide to shove the roasted meat into its mouth, swallowing it before it even has a chance to taste anything.
Pudding tugged at Ye Jingmo's pants with its paws, its little eyes blinking as it watched him expectantly for the next piece of roasted meat.
Seeing that Ye Jingmo hadn't touched the barbecue, Jiang Li immediately felt sorry for him, picked up a piece of barbecue with her chopsticks, dipped it in sauce, and wrapped it in lettuce.
"Brother Mo, you should try this barbecue too."
This was definitely worth the high price; the taste is truly amazing. However, it can get a bit greasy after eating a lot.
Jiang Li put the lettuce wrap to Ye Jingmo's mouth.
Ye Jingmo lowered his eyes, his lips slightly curved, and he ate the lettuce wrap clean with Jiang Li's help.
Jiang Li felt the faint touch on her hand, as if an electric current was running through her body, causing a faint blush to rise involuntarily to her cheeks.
