Chapter 241: Chapter 241

The main force of the barbecue, the meat, surprisingly wasn’t that popular, which was quite surprising for everyone. Follow current novels on N0velFire.ɴet

Zhan Jing came out after feeding her two sons and was surprised to see that the meat, which should have been consumed by now, still had a lot left.

As for Zhao Gang and Gong Tao, they were actually washing some leafy greens and chives. What was going on?

"Grill the vegetables and brush a layer of sauce on them, it tastes great."

"And wrapping the meat in lettuce tastes good as well, not too greasy," Cai Meina seriously recommended this way of eating.

The grilled meat had visible grease, eating too much would make you feel oily inside, but when combined with the greens, it really balanced out the grease, so the grilled meat didn’t feel as oily anymore.

"Really." Zhan Jing wasn’t fond of barbecue, not only because it leaves a smell on her clothes but also because it’s quite greasy, and she really didn’t like it much.

She didn’t expect there to be such a way to eat it, "I want to try."

Zhao Xuran heard his mom say she wanted to eat, so he stuffed a freshly wrapped piece of chicken into her mouth, "It’s quite tasty."

Zhao Guangran, seeing his brother flattering their mom, quickly grabbed a piece of chicken to wrap for Zhan Jing.

"Hmm, the taste is really good, and this sauce is nice too," Zhan Jing remarked that though not the best, the combination of the three was quite good overall.

"Who thought of this way of eating?" Zhan Jing noticed that Zhao Gang and the others were grilling chives.

What was going on? Her husband really wasn’t a veggie person, always saying he wasn’t a rabbit, so he didn’t like vegetables. Why was he so eager today? Quite a sight to see.

"Mom, guess." Zhao Xuran was also quite surprised, as he had felt that Gong Ruini was quite whimsical, not realizing her random guessing would hit the mark.

But was it really just a lucky guess from Gong Ruini? Zhao Xuran felt it couldn’t be such a high success rate if it was always random.

Yet, her random guesses just happened to succeed every time.

Gong Ruini was busy grilling and eating non-stop, "Too bad there’s no corn, grilled corn would be nice."

"Yeah, yeah, even sweet potatoes can be grilled."

"And grilled potatoes, you can even grill peanuts," Zhao Guangran knew he should apologize to Gong Ruini.

But Zhao Guangran didn’t know how to start, worrying what if Gong Ruini wouldn’t accept his apology, it would be utterly embarrassing.

Several times, Zhao Guangran tried to speak with Gong Ruini, but she just didn’t respond, leaving him really embarrassed.

Previously, Zhao Guangran might have been angry, feeling she didn’t respect him, but now he realized his previous actions were a bit too much.

He decided to look for a chance to properly apologize to Gong Ruini later, as it wouldn’t help if they kept having a cold war.

"Yeah, these are all delicious." Gong Ruini licked her lips non-stop, "Next year, we’ll take the brothers along for a barbecue."

"Yeah, take them to eat together," Despite Zhao Guangran’s reluctance towards the two brothers, the grandma was right; whether he liked it or not, they were his brothers.

"Then, Brother Guangran, you can go hunting," Gong Ruini assigned him the task unapologetically.

Uh, was this some kind of revenge from Gong Ruini? Would she do the same thing herself? Zhao Guangran pondered.

Well, Gong Ruini probably wouldn’t do such a silly thing, Zhao Guangran thought for a moment, "By then, I’ll perform well, and when the brothers grow up, I’ll take them hunting."

A child who lives by the mountains should start training early, so they can continue their father’s path, providing food and making money in the future.

Was Zhao Guangran planning to be a good brother? Did he get it wrong? Gong Ruini knew Zhao Guangran always wanted to compete with the twins for favor. How quickly he turned into a good brother was really astonishing.

However, by the time Ah Da and the others go hunting, everyone would be planning to leave the Northeast, with no time to teach these boys how to hunt.

For the twins, the Northeast was just their birthplace, and that was all. When they grow up, the Northeast would hardly leave any impression on them.

"Hey, we could do barbecue in the future, too bad we can’t set up a stall," Zhao Guangran thought the barbecue was quite tasty, too bad they couldn’t set up a stall, otherwise, they could make money.

Ah, this kid has potential, even thinking about making money with a stall. Gong Ruini really wanted to give Zhao Guangran a thumbs-up, this kid really shows some promise following her lead.

Seeing everything in terms of its money-making potential, keeping such a mindset would surely lead to success when he grows up.

Just wondering which path Zhao Xuran would take in the future, business or politics. Either way, Gong Ruini felt he’d do better than them since he was a sly old fox, not like them little critters.

"Just eat," Zhan Jing, in fact, didn’t like her kids to always talk about money, but couldn’t avoid it as the family discussions were always about money.

Especially with what Zhao Gang’s been considering lately. If it succeeded, they would really need more money, otherwise, they would feel strapped for cash.

"I just said it offhandedly," seeing his mom’s displeased expression, Zhao Guangran quickly changed his tone, not wanting to upset his parents.

Everyone thought Zhao Guangran was just casually saying it, given how this kid was a bit jumpy, often changing what he said, even Zhao Xuran thought his brother was just talking.

The barbecue feast had everyone fully satisfied, "Eating barbecue and drinking in winter is nice too, even in the snow," Gong Tao, trying barbecue for the first time, thought the atmosphere was very nice.

The only regret being, "It’s a bit hot, standing by the grill gets a bit warm."

"No alcohol is no good," Zhao Gang licked his lips, feeling the heat was secondary, how could you have barbecue without alcohol?

Zhao Gang had it planned, "After the autumn harvest, we brew some alcohol."

Previously lacking manpower, they couldn’t brew much alcohol. Now, with people and supplies, they couldn’t miss the chance.

"Let’s make fruit wine too," they experimented with some grape wine last year, it was nice, too bad there weren’t many grapes to make fruit wine, but with plans this year, they shouldn’t let the chance pass.

"Yeah, yeah," this stuff was good for the old folks as well, Zhan Jing felt they shouldn’t miss it for her mother.

With both liquor and fruit wine, it was like a gathering of winos, but Gong Ruini liked that. She wanted to make some preserved fruits, seeing beehives in the mountains lately, hoping to get some honey.
