suddenly had a surge of impulse. She wanted to tell the emperor to call off her marriage to Dugu Cheng, but looking at Dugu Cheng's gaze fixed on her, she hesitated.Dugu Cheng looked at her with those..."Mother, how much longer will it take I'm starving."
Feng Siyu stared at the barbecue roasting over the campfire like a famished cat. The tantalizing aroma wafted into the air, making his mouth water.
"Miss Four, how did you make this It smells so good. We want to learn too."
A bold cook walked up, it's better to ask than stand there watching, he might learn a thing or two.
Feng Lingxi smiled and said, "This is barbecue, and there's also grilled mushrooms. With the seasoning grilled for a while, it has a unique flavor."
"Fragrant."
Feng Ling Xi responded with a nod, taking in the scent. It was indeed alluring, no wonder they were all drawn to it. Even back on the mountain, Master had been tempted by these dishes.
Feng Lingxi's eyes darkened, thinking of the dishes she had made for her grandfather those days. She hadn't made this one for him, and now she regretted it.
"Feng Siyu."
A disgruntled voice came over, and everyone turned to see Feng Siqi's tiny figure running over. Her round eyes were fixed on the skewers on the rack, almost drooling.
"Mother, how could you again sneak and feed your son a special meal behind my back"
Feng Siqi gave him a dissatisfied look. "You're biased."
"Feng Siqi, do you have any shame saying this Why don't you think about what you've done yourself You get to eat a big meal, but I can't even ask my mother to roast me some meat"
Feng Siyu crossed her arms and watched from afar as Dugu Cheng stood behind Feng Siqi. He had actually come too.
"I... I did that to get treatment."
Feng Siqi retorted, her voice clear and steady, "I'm not like you."
"The first time I heard you make such shameless statements, saying that something is delicious just because it tastes good. You are so shameless."
Feng Siqi pointed at Feng Siyu, so angry she stomped her feet.
"Don't go too far."
"Am I too much"
Feng Siyu refused to back down, glaring at Feng Siqi with eyes that almost pierced through her.
"Stop it, we fight every time we see each other. Let's not forget why we're here."
As the eldest sister, Wan'er hurriedly stepped in to pull them apart, lowering her voice and saying, "Don't shame our mother." After that, Feng Siqi and Feng Siyu both snorted coldly and turned away from each other.
Dugu Cheng watched their bickering and finally understood, Xi'er must have worried a lot about the two of them all these years
In contrast to Du Gu Cheng, Feng Ling Xi remained calm and composed. She even nonchalantly picked up a skewer of grilled meat and started eating, making her own sauce as she went about her business.
"My Queen, what are you doing Is this edible"
Ye Xi smelled the fragrance and immediately leaned forward. Feng Lingxi glanced at him, and Ye Xi hurriedly said, "Can you teach me, my lord Next time Xiaoli returns, I also want to make this for her. She will definitely like it."
"This is mushroom, and this is grilled fish. They are both common, just with different seasonings."
The key to good barbecue is in the ingredients. If the ingredients are delicious, the flavor will be amazing. But if the ingredients aren't good, the flavor won't be as great.
"Mother, did you make beggar's chicken again"
Feng Siqi rushed forward, seeing the chicken feathers not far away, her whole body became unsettled. She hurriedly stepped forward and took Feng Lingxi's hand, "Mother, I want to call for a rooster."
"There's no such thing as a 'called flower chicken,' that's just feathers from the kitchen floor."
Feng Siyu heard that she wanted to compete with him for the roast chicken, and his face turned sour.
"No way, this is fake feathers. Do you think I'm stupid Can't you tell"
Feng Siqi glared at Feng Siyu, "Don't try to fool me, I'm not that stupid, I can tell the difference."
"Alright, one per person."
Feng Lingxi looked at the two of them, her voice full of helplessness, “I knew you guys were greedy. Just stay here and guard it. I’ll go catch one for your sister.”
"Mother, there's no need."
Waner hurried forward, grabbing her mother's hand. "The sky is getting dark soon, Mother, please don't go. Any food will do, there's no need to specially get something for Wan'er."
Feng Lingxi heard Wan'er's words, her eyes turning slightly red. This silly child was actually thinking of her.
"Your Highness, why don't I go catch a few and you could let me have one to try later"
Ye Xi wore a fawning expression, while Feng Ling Xi didn't refuse him.
Then hurry up.
"Right away, sir."
"Su Yue, you go too."
Wan'er spoke, and Suyue could only follow. The backyard of this General's Mansion was lively. By mealtime, everyone had deserted their own meals to gather here and watch Miss Fourth prepare her wild camp-style feast. Tao Su and Lu Nian came over upon hearing the commotion, and seeing them all gathered there, they too were drawn in by the aroma.
Dugu Cheng remained silent from start to finish. Seeing Feng Lingxi unharmed, his heart finally eased.
Watching her skillfully cook outdoors, Dugu City's memories went back to the past. In fact, they used to live like this too, but now thinking about it, it was all a luxury.
Dugu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi's busy figure, from the moment he appeared until now, her gaze had never stayed on him, she probably didn't even know he was here
"Why are you standing there Come over here."
Lu Nian dragged Dugu Cheng, "Sister is in a good mood, she won't tell on you."
Dugu Cheng was dragged past, watching the group of people bustling around Xi'er over there. It seemed like all the wild chickens in the back mountains would have run away after smelling the aroma.
Ye Xi caught several wild chickens and rabbits, killed them, and also caught some fish from the stream by the mountain and picked up some mushrooms.
"Mother, tonight is really lively. Wan'er hasn't seen so many people gather together in a long time."
Wǎn'ér watched her mother busily working. Though she was outside, her mother didn't seem like those village women at all. The way she cooked looked like a beautiful scenery line, very pleasing to the eye. Her gestures and movements, the way she cooked, really made everything look delicious just by watching.
"I said how come when I came back home no one was here. After asking around, I found out that you all went to the backyard."
Feng Aotian came back, seeing the scene on the back mountain and smelling that陣一陣 fragrance, a tired sigh instantly vanished.
"Grandpa Wind, you're back."
Wind Siqi ran over and took Wind Aotian's hand, her face filled with joy. "Mother is making delicious food. Grandpa Wind, do you want to eat Siqi will give you half."
Feng Aotien was amused by Feng Siqi's words and chuckled, watching Feng Lingxi who was busy working.
"Xi'er, why did you suddenly think of cooking here today"
Feng Ling-xi wore a helpless expression as she explained, "I had intended to bring Siyu here to cook something, but it seems they all arrived."
"General, we were all attracted here by the aroma of the Fourth Miss's cooking. We've all come to learn the art of cooking from her."
The cook in the kitchen chuckled as he explained. Feng Aotitian saw that Dugu City was also there, and greeted him.
"The Crown Prince is here as well."
"General, I came with them."
When Dugu City spoke, his eyes met Feng Lingxi's. She seemed not to notice his gaze, being pulled around and asked questions by others, with no time at all to listen to what they had to say.
Feng Aotian looked at the scene before him, "This is so good, it really feels like home."own."獨孤城 suddenly opened his mouth, the expression on his handsome face unreadable.Xiaoli seeing this, hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has never...""Xiaoli, don't talk too much."Fen...
