Chapter 71: Self-taught Talent

Meng Chuyuan silently retracted her gaze and went out to look for Lu Jinsen.
Lu Jinsen, who was seriously taking charge of the skewers, could make the audience excited just by taking a picture of his back.
[Look! What’s that in front? It’s the young master who is seriously roasting skewers.]
[As expected, a serious man is really charming. Even his back view is handsome.]
[I feel like he’s quite docile. Why are there so many anti-fans?]
[That’s because Lu Jinsen is like a time bomb. Hahaha. When he first debuted, I also thought that he was quite good. Later on, because of his personality, he caused a lot of scandals, so I didn’t have a good impression of him.]
Meng Chuyuan walked over unhurriedly. She appeared behind him and stood beside him.
When Lu Jinsen saw her return, he quickly picked up a handful of duck intestines from the grill and handed them to Meng Chuyuan. “Take a look and see if they’re cooked.”
When Lu Jinsen handed over the duck intestines, Meng Chuyuan placed her hands behind her back and leaned forward to take a look.
“Not bad, you even know how to brush it with oil.” Seeing the oil on the surface of the duck intestine, Meng Chuyuan was secretly happy.
This was because she had stayed with Qi Zhen and the others for a while just now and realized that they really didn’t know how to barbecue. They placed all the ingredients on the grill.
She had only briefly explained to Lu Jinsen previously. At that time, she had not mentioned that she wanted him to brush the skewered with oil. She did not expect him to do it himself.
Lu Jinsen narrowed his eyes and said softly, “I’m worried that I’ll burn them if there’s no oil.”
This fear started when he tried to fry the steak at home.
Lu Jinsen knew that if he did not add oil, it would stick to the pot. Anyway, he did not know anything, so he felt that barbecue should be the same. [Young Master is self-taught. Sister Meng is very gratified.]
[Not bad, not bad, hahaha. At least you know more than Qi Zhen and Luo
Yunzhou.]
[Did Lu Jinsen secretly oil the duck intestines because he eavesdropped on Sister Meng’s words?]
[I remember that Qi Zhen is also from a wealthy family. Although he knows how to cook, he doesn’t know how to barbecue. He might not even have eaten such a thing.]
[No matter what, this was done well. Give Lu Jinsen a thumbs up.]
Meng Chuyuan brought the duck intestines over for him and asked him to continue grilling the skewers.
She temporarily placed the duck intestines in a spot without a charcoal fire.
Then, she took a stick and brushed it with sauce. She smeared cumin flour on it and placed it back on the grill to roast it for a while to make it more flavorful.
Then, she began to taste it.
Meng Chuyuan took a bite. The meat was a little too hard. Perhaps it was because Lu Jinsen had roasted it for a long time and did not brush enough oil.
Before skewering the duck intestines, they blanched the duck intestines in advance, so they did not need to roast them for too long.
Seeing that she had eaten it, Lu Jinsen looked over expectantly and asked,
“How is it?”
“It’s okay.”
‘ He knew that Meng Chuyuan would not say anything better than “okay” because he had not reached that standard.
Meng Chuyuan took a bamboo skewer and poked at the steak in the middle. When she pulled it out, she did not see any blood on the bamboo skewer. She confirmed that the steak was almost cooked. “You can put the meat away and roast the oysters.”
Lu Jinsen nodded. “Okay.”
[That’s it?? I can’t believe that Sister Meng didn’t find fault with him.]
[Help! Lu Jinsen is so obedient. I’ll join his fandom first. If he still has any questions… Why don’t we talk about it later? Boohoo, I’m a little fascinated by him now.]
[With Sister Meng around, I think Lu Jinsen is probably worthy of fans. The sisters in front, charge forward boldly.]
[For Sister Meng’s sake, I’ll just love Lu Jinsen for a while.]
[As expected of Sister Meng’s disciple. He’s getting better and better.]
They didn’t exchange for a lot of meat, and half of the meat was given to Qi Zhen to roast, so two batches were enough.
Meng Chuyuan first mixed the garlic sauce, then placed the oysters on the grill for Lu Jinsen. Then, she drizzled the freshly mixed garlic sauce onto the oysters.
“That’s enough. There’s no need to flip it. Wait for it to cook.” Perhaps Meng Chuyuan was afraid that Lu Jinsen did not have this awareness, so she specially reminded him.
Lu Jinsen ‘oh’-ed softly and asked, “Then what should I do?”
“Don’t we still have the potato slices and eggplant? There’s still a place to roast them.” Meng Chuyuan placed the two eggplant slices on top and said to Lu Jinsen, “Roast them. When the skin of the eggplant changes color, it means that it’s completely roasted. Then, cut it open with a small knife. Press it flat and brush oil on it first before adding the garlic sauce. It’ll be cooked after roasting for a while.”
Lu Jinsen nodded slightly, indicating that he was already familiar with the steps.
After Meng Chuyuan handed this job to him, she did not stay idle. She sprinkled seasoning on the meat that she had just roasted.
At this moment, the director was sitting at the side eating salt and pepper roasted prawns. His seat was coincidentally facing Meng Chuyuan. When he
saw the large skewer of meat in her hand, he suddenly felt a little craving.
They had to go to the market to buy poultry meat, which required expenses, so they didn’t prepare much.
The production team’s food for the past two days was similar to what the guests had eaten. After the guests exchanged for the ingredients, they split the rest of the left-overs internally.
Seeing this scene, the director regretted it.
If he had known earlier, he would have prepared more.
The first to discover the director’s figure was the audience in the live-stream:
[Hahahaha, why did the director suddenly appear on screen?]
[He’s even holding a plate of prawns. What is he doing?]
[Looking at the direction he’s moving in, he’s probably looking for Sister Meng. Director, you’re rushing over only to be tortured. But I don’t feel happy when I don’t see the director suffer.]
[The director’s attitude is like an underling serving food, hahahaha.]
When Meng Chuyuan sensed someone approaching her, she suddenly looked up. She did not expect the person to be the director.
She only greeted the director and did not say anything else.
The director stood at the side for a while and watched Meng Chuyuan continue to work with her head lowered. When he finished the skewer of salt and pepper prawns in his hand and threw the bamboo stick away, he said, “Salt and pepper prawns, do you want to try them?”
“Director, it’s wrong to litter.” Meng Chuyuan looked up not because of the director’s words, but because she happened to see him throw the bamboo stick on the beach.
The camera only captured their upper bodies, so the audience in the live-stream did not see the director throw away the bamboo stick. They thought that he had only put his hand down.
Hearing Meng Chuyuan’s words, the audience began to react.
[What? The director is littering??!]
[No way? I thought that the director only had one flaw, which was being stingy.
I didn’t expect him to be so wicked.]
[The filter on Director Luo suddenly shattered all over the ground. Yesterday, he even organized guests to pick up the trash on the beach. How long has it been? Why is he taking the lead in creating trash?]
Upon hearing Meng Chuyuan’s words, the director suddenly realized that he was still on the livestream. He quickly bent down and picked up the bamboo stick that he had just thrown away..
