Chapter 553 Fight? Let's eat first!

The impending battle did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for the meteor shower.

Especially appetite.

Yinling rubbed her deflated belly and looked at Liang He pitifully.

"Ahe~ I'm hungry again..."

As a saintess, Yinling usually stays in the temple, but outsiders are not allowed to enter, so she cannot hire a cook.

This results in Yinling having very few opportunities to eat delicious food, and it is even more difficult for her to eat the food made by Liang He.

Since Liang He had gone to great lengths to visit her, Yin Ling had no choice but to shamelessly make demands for the sake of the food. In addition, with the upcoming battle, she had to eat her fill!

"Me too... I knew there would be a late-night snack, so I deliberately ate less."

"You deliberately ate less; I just wasn't full."

"It's my fault. I've never tasted these delicacies before, and I couldn't stop myself."

Hearing Holder complain that he hadn't eaten enough, A-Lie pursed his lips shyly.

Besides stealing the fish that Cedril and Landon caught, he had only picked up a can of herring that Xu Yi had left behind, which was not enough to fill him up.

So when I saw that Liang He had prepared a huge table of delicious food, I couldn't resist and ate to my heart's content.

"The sweet potatoes I threw into the fire earlier should be cooked by now. I'll go check on them."

Knowing that everyone was still hungry, Liang He immediately jumped out of bed.

The snow leopard and platinum lion, who had been lying obediently beside her, rubbed their sleepy eyes with their paws and followed in a daze.

"Leopard, Cyril, what brings you here? Are you hungry too?"

Liang He casually picked up a stick and poked at the sweet potatoes in the fire. When he saw the snow leopard and the platinum lion, his sense of responsibility as a zookeeper immediately kicked in.

Worried that they hadn't eaten enough, Liang He didn't wait for the two big guys to answer and immediately prepared a special late-night snack for them.

"Alright, you guys enjoy your meal. I'll go check on how the fish and chicken are marinating."

Lianghe had planned during the day that everyone would gather around the stove to brew tea together in the evening. In addition to staple foods such as sweet potatoes and chestnuts, Lianghe also prepared meat dishes such as grilled fish and grilled chicken, considering that everyone likes to eat meat.

Just as Liang He was carrying the marinated fish, preparing to grill it over the stove, a figure suddenly appeared and snatched the basin from her hands.

"I come."

Holding the basin, Xuanjiao walked straight to the oven, giving Lianghe no chance to refuse.

Besides him, the others also came out of the house one after another, and they all took turns doing the work.

"Liang He, you just focus on controlling the flavor; leave everything else to us!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that every planet has a head chef who just needs to give orders. You are our head chef, and we will follow your orders!"

Wow! Roasted sweet potatoes smell so good! I can't wait to eat them!

Silver Feather, with its flat belly, suddenly brightened up when it smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.

When she saw sweet potatoes today, she thought they couldn't possibly taste good, but she was proven wrong in the blink of an eye.

“They’re right, Ah He. How long will it take you to finish preparing this late-night snack for so many people by yourself? Besides, food made together tastes much better!”

Waiting to eat is a completely different experience from eating something you made yourself.

They weren't pretentious rich kids; they were happy to participate in the production process, and just thinking about it gave them a great sense of accomplishment.

"Pfft~ Okay then, let's do it together."

Anyway, it wasn't the first time, so Liang He wasn't worried about their ability to do it.

Besides, Yin Ling is right. She's alone, so it's a bit slow, and it's really not good to keep everyone waiting on an empty stomach.

"Besides grilled fish and grilled chicken, I also prepared grilled eggplant, grilled cold noodles, vegetables... as well as braised peanuts and edamame."

Once again, I'm amazed at how plentiful the ingredients Yinshuo prepared were, giving Lianghe plenty of room to work her magic. "I see Yinshuo has prepared fruit wine; everyone can have some to warm up. Braised peanuts and edamame would be great snacks to go with the wine."

If you're not outdoors, and it's cold and windy with an unstable stove, frying peanuts is actually quite good.

"Wow! Just hearing about it makes my mouth water."

Xu Yi couldn't help but swallow, her mind filled with images of delicious food.

"Liang He, stop drooling over us and let's get started!"

As Xu Yi urged her on, Liang He chuckled and shook her head helplessly, but her hands didn't stop moving.

In fact, Lianghe had prepared most of the ingredients in advance; all that was needed was to bake them.

Fortunately, with his studious apprentice Xuan Jiao by their side, the barbecue speed improved considerably as he and Liang He grilled together.

"Shall we go and get the sweet potatoes and chestnuts out of the fire?"

With nothing much to do, Cedril decided to find some work for himself.

However, he was afraid that his good intentions might backfire, so he had to ask Liang He's opinion in advance.

“Sure, let’s add some firewood and put the roast chicken on it later.”

Barbecue grills are not suitable for roasting chicken. Chickens must be roasted by turning them 360 degrees, so the fire must not go out.

"no problem!"

Finally having something to do, Cedril excitedly ran towards the fire, with Landon following closely behind.

With such a reliable person looking after Cedril, Liang He felt even more at ease.

"If you need firewood, shall I go and gather some?"

Ah Lie wasn't the type to sit around and wait to freeload. He knew this place best and could come and go as he pleased. Gathering firewood was also the most suitable task for him.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Liang He didn't stand on ceremony with this only guest; treating him differently would only make A Lie uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after seeing Liang He's attitude of not treating him like an outsider at all, A Lie's lips curled up noticeably, and he went to collect firewood with a smile.

"Ahe, we've got nothing to do right now. Do you think there's anything else we can do?"

Since the ingredients had been prepared in advance, Yinling and the others quickly had some free time after finishing their tasks.

Seeing Cedril and the others busy roasting chicken over a fire, Xuan Jiao joining Liang He as the head chef, and even A Lie finding a job collecting firewood, the others couldn't sit still any longer.

"How about... you make some barbecue skewers and we can skewer some barbecue later?"

Silver Shuttle didn't prepare any barbecue skewers, so they had to use whatever was available.

Lianghe Night Snacks hadn't originally planned to make so much food, but with so many people and everyone saying they were hungry, they ended up preparing too much without realizing it.

"no problem!"

Upon hearing that there was work to be done, everyone became more and more enthusiastic.

It's as if if someone doesn't do enough work, they'll feel embarrassed to eat more later.

"Hey? Can't we just use wooden chopsticks and turn them into wooden skewers?"

Yinling was a little excited as it was her first time doing handicrafts.

But Huo An, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped him.

"I saw some leftover wire or something nearby, maybe we can use that?"

Carving wooden chopsticks into wooden skewers is indeed too time-consuming, so if there is another way, Huo An thinks it would be better.

It just so happens that when Silver Shuttle had people build the facilities inside the Blue Hole, some spare building materials were not thrown away. If we look through them, we might be able to reuse them.

"Great idea! Let's go look for it!"
