Chapter 69: The More I Think About It, the Angrier I Get
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meng Chuyuan could not find any fault with the director’s words just now, but now that she knew that these ingredients would be used by the production team like this, there was no need to exchange them for labor coins.
“How can that do?” The director was getting anxious.
This was the only time he was lucky enough for his schemes to have been overlooked, but Meng Chuyuan had seen through him.
“There won’t be a next time.” The director looked at Meng Chuyuan and said sincerely, “Really.”
Because there were still two days left in this episode, he could not always arrange for guests to go to the sea. Even if they were willing to go, the audience would be tired of watching.
Meng Chuyuan looked down at the foam box under his feet. She skipped past the seafood options and went to choose meat.
Meng Chuyuan won the most among the guests. She placed all four of her chances to choose on meat.
The director saw that after she took the meat away, only the meatballs were left. Even the other guests, who had just eaten seafood for lunch, could not stand the sight of the fishes and shrimps.
[I’m dying of laughter. Nobody chose the seafood. I feel like the director has been kicked out of the group chat.]
[Director: In the end. I’m not worthy of everyone.
[They basically ate seafood this entire week. Who would like it?]
After the guests received the ingredients they liked, they began to draw lots.
The sky was gradually getting dark. The production team also hung up the lights. Soon, the canopy was lit up.
The evening breeze began to stir, and the sound of waves surrounded the entire beach.
Half an hour later, the coal in the grill was also burning, emitting thick and pungent smoke.
Meng Chuyuan and the Liao sisters sat at the side, opening the oysters. Lu Jinsen and a few male guests were working hard on the skewers.
However, the wind at night was a little strong and not very friendly to their fire. It could not burn.
Qi Zhen was surrounded by a cloud of smoke. He felt terrible and kept coughing.
Ting Jiu held a small box of paper and fanned the fire at the side, the coal only produced smoke and not fire.
He pinched his nose and complained, “Why doesn’t it burn?”
Ting Jiu’s careless fanning swept the smoke to Lu Jinsen’s side. He said with a dark expression, “Can you stop fanning the fire?”
“I can’t. If I stop, the fire will go out.”
Lu Jinsen frowned unhappily. “If this keeps up, I’ll be the one taking you out later.”
[Pfft, hahaha, I didn’t expect Young Master to be so humorous.]
[Lu Jinsen expresses: I can’t take it anymore. There’s no need to endure this anymore.]
[Eldest Young Master thought to himself: Bear with it for a while and everything will be calm. The more I take a step back, the angrier I become.]
[I’m so happy to see Young Master. Why didn’t I realize that every expression and action of his can be so funny?]
[Brother Qi Zhen: Hello? Does no one care about me??]
Meng Chuyuan sat at the side and felt that these old men were squabbling really loudly. It was a little annoying to hear them.
She put down the knife in her hand and forced her way between Ting Jiu and Lu Jinsen before separating them.
For some reason, Lu Jinsen was pushed to the side. His eyes darkened, like a child who had done something wrong and was being taught a lesson by his parents.
“I’ll do it. Go and open the oysters.” Meng Chuyuan turned around and took the tongs from Lu Jinsen’s hand.
Lu Jinsen looked up with a hint of doubt in his eyes. “Can you handle it?”
“Is it that difficult?” Meng Chuyuan replied casually.
Lu Jinsen:
After Meng Chuyuan took over, she specially found a suitable position to avoid the wind. Then, she began to slowly burn the charcoal.
Ting Jiu and Lu Jinsen had been busy for so long, but Meng Chuyuan set the charcoal on fire in less than three minutes.
When Meng Chuyuan saw that the charcoal had already turned red, she began to set up the grill, then brushed it with oil and put a few skewers of meat to roast.
The charcoal on Qi Zhen and Luo Yunzhou’s side was still emitting thick smoke, and there was no improvement at all.
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan could start a fire, Qi Zhen asked her for help. “Sister Meng, help us take a look too.”
After the charcoal fire burned, they gradually entered a better state. The originally chaotic smoke environment had already faded and was slowly replaced by the fragrant smell of roasted meat.
This was the first time Qi Zhen and Luo Yunzhou had grilled meat themselves. The two of them guarded a stall that seemed a little too crowded for the two of them. The grill was filled with all kinds of meat skewers.
Meng Chuyuan was skilled, and she was very agile when she brushed the sauce onto the meat. When she was serious, she looked like a street vendor.
[There’s another trending post tonight.]
[Sister Meng gave me the illusion that she was in this line of work, hahaha.]
[+1, I also think that Sister Meng looks like a barbeque seller. She’s a young and beautiful barbeque shop owner. She’s also very down-to-earth. It doesn’t feel strange at all.]
[I’m hungry. I want to order a barbecue later too.]
In addition, the director brought a few colleagues with him to barbecue outside the venue. Meng Chuyuan’s first batch of meat skewers were already cooked and had been sprinkled with cumin. Whereas, they had just started.
However, they had a lot of seafood ingredients here. They had to process them first before they could roast them, so their progress was slightly slower.
Meng Chuyuan roasted a few skewers of beef, pork belly, and sausages. Then, she called Lu Jinsen over to take the plate away.
“Why don’t you let me do it?” Lu Jinsen walked over but was not in a hurry to take over. Instead, he noticed that there were too many things on the table that had not been roasted. He was worried that Meng Chuyuan would not be able to handle it alone.
Meng Chuyuan said, “Bring the food out for everyone to eat first. Otherwise, it will get cold.”
Lu Jinsen looked up at her and silently took the plate. He turned around and brought the barbecue to the other guests.
“Eat.
“Why don’t we wait for a while? They’re still busy.” Liao Jiake felt a little embarrassed. After all, there were only three people roasting the skewered. The rest of them were all sitting in the shed waiting for food.
“Then let’s wait a little longer.” Although Ting Jiu was a little hungry, no one had any intention of eating, so he did not dare to move.
“Then come and watch.” Lu Jinsen turned around and returned to Meng Chuyuan’s side after saying this.
Meng Chuyuan was about to add more meat to the rack when Lu Jinsen appeared.
“What are you doing here?” she asked curiously. “Aren’t you going to eat with them?”
“To help you.’
He felt that this should be easier than cooking.
[It’s rare that Lu Jinsen is not being vague this time. He’s not as stubborn as before.]
[Oh my god, so Young Master is actually a warm man.]
[That’s right. Young Master’s change is starting to become obvious. I hope you can continue to maintain it and not just put on a show for a while.]
[Sister Meng must be shocked. Young Master actually said something like “I’m here to help you”.]
Meng Chuyuan was surprised just now, but it was not that exaggerated, so it was not obvious.
When she heard this, she didn’t hesitate to give up her seat to him. “Alright, you do it.”
Seeing Lu Jinsen stand at the stall, Meng Chuyuan reminded him, “The fire in the middle is better. You can put thicker meat on it. Just put some easily cooked ones in the other spots.”
“Got it.” He followed Meng Chuyuan’s instructions and placed the thicker meat on the hottest spot of the charcoal fire. Beside it were small skewers and
sausages..
