Xiaohui: “…”
She was speechless. Half of her moral integrity had been squeezed out by the night in the afternoon, and now she had to save some to spend in the evening.
"Senior Shiyu, hang up the clothes."
"coming."
Shiyu didn't use her moral integrity in the afternoon, but she didn't plan to use it now. She poked the soft flesh on Bai Ye's waist as a small punishment and then hung the clothes under the eaves in the corridor with Xiaohui.
Boom——
Another muffled thunder attracted everyone's attention. Compared with the first muffled thunder, the panic on everyone's faces was gradually replaced by helpless numbness.
Zhu Yin took out her cell phone and read out the weather information with a hint of self-mockery in her voice.
"The weather tonight...rain, sleet, snow...can't you give me a definite answer?"
After a while, it was completely dark. The whistling cold wind blew the girls' flowing hair, which stung their faces a little.
Bai Ye moved the tent that Ying Lili brought to the wind outlet to block some of the cold wind.
"Can you still blow it?"
"That's good, the bonfire doesn't float around anymore." Bingtang said.
"The bonfire is okay, I'm just worried you'll get a headache from the wind."
Everyone was wearing blankets, and Shiyu and Eriri even covered their heads with blankets, with their thighs curled up together. At first glance, they looked like a pair of submissive hedgehogs.
Bai Ye squatted down and straightened their messy bangs, and couldn't help laughing and said:
"I understand you two are protecting yourselves, but why does this image make me feel so funny~"
"If you have the ability, just be cool!" Ying Lili complained.
"I'm incompetent, so I give in." Bai Ye raised his hands.
Although he really wants to show his chauvinism, his first priority as he is sitting in the wind is to avoid catching a cold and causing trouble for everyone.
On one side of the campfire, curry for dinner was bubbling on the stove, while on the other side, the campfire was more lively than the former. Xiaohui was cooking pure wood-fired rice in an iron pot, while Sayuri was making ginger soup.
"Chu Hai, can you help me distribute the ginger soup to everyone?"
"Okay Auntie."
A bowl of ginger soup on a cold night is enough to soothe the heart.
Before the ginger soup even entered our throats, the pungent taste already invigorated us. Our pores opened up, a warmth rose in our lower abdomen, and we felt extremely comfortable.
Ying Lili drank a bowl of ginger soup and asked Sayuri to get another bowl.
"Is ginger soup an appetizer?"
"Sour taste is appetizing, right? Spicy taste is also appetizing, Yinglili, you can do it."
Regardless of whether ginger soup is appetizing or not, everyone’s stomach is rumbling.
"Is the curry ready?"
Xiaohui scooped some soup and tasted it, then gave it to Bai Ye to try.
"Beef curry will take about half an hour to reach its best taste, and sprinkle some salt before serving."
"What else is there tonight besides curry?"
Bai Ye pointed at the box in the corridor of the yard.
"There were a lot of ingredients, but there was a sudden power outage and I didn't have time to string them together, so I had to rely on myself."
Ying Lili invited Chu Hai to join them, and the two of them caught a handful of chicken wings and generously gave one to each of them.
"Grilled chicken wings, it's my treat tonight! You're welcome."
Chapter 954: Gathering in front of the bonfire, a cold rainy night
Eriri was responsible for "inviting", and the person responsible for "grilling" went around and finally fell on Bai Ye.
The reason was simple. One of the campfires had a stove but no space to roast anything. Half of the other larger campfire was used to cook rice, and Sayuri had just used the other half to make ginger soup. Bai Ye was closest to the campfire, so the task of roasting the chicken wings naturally fell on him.
"I highly doubt that I'm sitting here just to make it easier for you to do hard labor."
"Didn't you choose it yourself?" Ying Lili raised her eyebrows.
"Alas, you and God are bullying a poor gentleman like me..." Bai Ye complained in a pretentious manner, then winked at Chu Hai.
Chu Hai excitedly moved the stool next to Bai Ye and took half of the chicken wings from him.
"Senior, I'm here!"
Bai Ye couldn't bear to see her sitting in the wind and getting cold, so he moved to the side behind her and covered her with half of his blanket. He satisfied his desire to protect her and enjoyed the beauty in his arms. He could accompany her out to sea and show her off to everyone at the same time, which was a win-win situation.
"Wow—the wind is so strong..."
The draft blew up a few broken grass and fallen leaves. Chu Hai held up the barbecue fork to avoid the fallen leaves while chasing the naughty bonfire that was ignited by the wind. The two always maintained the "five-second distance" that Bai Ye mentioned last night.
Seeing her successfully demonstrate the skill of "walking through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on her", Bai Ye couldn't help but applaud.
"I think going out to sea can inherit my title of grill master."
"Hehe~ This is the confidence roasting marshmallows gives me!"
The roasted chicken wings came out of the oven and the rice was ready at the same time. The aroma of the rice spread throughout the backyard with the wind, making everyone's mouths water.
"Hmm - authentic firewood rice, the taste of childhood, there must be rice crust at the bottom of the pot, Xiaohui, don't forget to serve some for me later."
Kato Megumi scraped the bottom of the pot with a rice spoon, and as Bai Ye had expected, the crispy sound of rice crusts was heard.
Without saying a word, Eriri was the first to step forward with the bowl in hand.
"A big spoonful of rice, and another portion... Oh no! Two servings of rice crust, please~"
Sayuri had bought a batch of new tableware for this vacation. In addition to everyday-sized bowls and plates, each person also had a large bowl with a wide rim, and the spoons were also larger and longer than usual.
"Mom is so great! Curry is best eaten in a big bowl!"
"Hmmmm~ Of course these mothers take this into consideration. It's really inconvenient to use small bowls for picnic curry."
Xiaohui used a rice spoon to break up the rice crust and distributed it to everyone, while Sayuri used the empty campfire to prepare egg dishes.
"Would you like some fried eggs?"
"Auntie, why don't you try scrambled eggs?" Bingtang suggested, "Fluffy scrambled eggs absorb the broth better and seem to go better with curry."
"Okay, let's make scrambled eggs."
"I'll help you crack the balls!"
On this side, everyone continued to line up after receiving their meals, and one after another brought their bowls to Bai Ye to get the grilled chicken wings.
Bai Ye was busy taking the grilled chicken wings off the barbecue fork and putting them in front of them, while smearing barbecue sauce, honey, black pepper sauce and other messy things on them as required. He was too busy to handle it all.
"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm working as a cafeteria lady?"
"That's right, don't deny it." Ying Lili held the chopsticks in her mouth.
"If you put it that way, I'll have to use the cafeteria lady's special skills!"
"W-What the hell…"
Bai Ye knew at a glance that this little golden retriever had never experienced the harshness of society and had never seen the cafeteria aunt's "shaking spoon magic".
Unfortunately, he had both hands free, so he had to improve the "shaking spoon magic" into the "shaking mouth magic".
Click——
Under Eriri's horrified eyes, Bai Ye bit into the grilled chicken wing, and the former immediately let out a scream, so cruel that it even startled a flock of birds in the forest.
“My grilled chicken wings!!!”
Bai Ye put the tip of the chicken wing into his own bowl and returned the uneaten chicken wing and drumstick to her.
"Are you scared yet? I'll give you some face this time, letting you look down on my Shaking Spoon technique. Believe it or not, next time, I'll be left with only bones."
Ying Lili quickly left with the bowl in her hand without fighting back, fearing that Bai Ye would go berserk again.
"That's pretty ruthless, Xiaobai-kun." Shiyu gave a thumbs up. "You scared Eriri away single-handedly, and I'll give you the tip of my chicken wing as a reward."
Bai Ye unceremoniously bit off the tip of the chicken wing and put it in his own bowl, and then everyone gave a thumbs up and gave the tip of the chicken wing to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye accepted everything. It was not like he didn't have chicken legs to eat, so he shouldn't treat the tips of the chicken wings as meat.
"Scrambled eggs are ready everyone~"
Everyone went to Sayuri to get some scrambled eggs, and then gathered around tonight's main course.
"Are you ready? Are you ready?"
"Half an hour has passed..."
“I smell a scent!”
……
Everyone was talking at once, urging everyone to hurry up, even ignoring the increasingly frequent muffled thunder in the night sky.
Xiaohui opened the lid of the pot, sprinkled some salt, stirred it evenly, and then scooped some out for Bai Ye who was also waiting with a bowl.
"Bai Yejun, do you think it's okay?"
"Good, it's out of the pot!"
As Bai Ye raised his arms and shouted, he was responded not only by the cheers of the girls, but also by the muffled thunder that gradually rose.
This time it was hard for everyone not to notice it, because in addition to the aroma of curry, there was also the fishy smell of soil lingering around the nose.
"There's thunder but no snow, and there's snow but no thunder. If there's thunder and snow, it means the weather is extremely unstable..."
"Don't worry about it, eat first!" Eriri interrupted him.
Everyone nodded in response. After being busy all afternoon and worried all evening, they were physically and mentally exhausted and urgently needed delicious food to replenish their energy and soothe their mood.
Seeing this, Bai Ye didn't waste any time and poured spoonful after spoonful of steaming hot curry into everyone's bowl.
"Then let's eat—!"
Why do picnics make people feel so comfortable?
Bai Ye feels that it is inseparable from human nature.
On the way back to his seat after covering the pot, he sighed:
"Just imagine, sitting around a campfire on a cold winter night, surrounded by friends, companions, laughter, and looking up at the sky..."
However, before he could finish his words, Heaven hurriedly expressed its opinion.
tick-
A drop of cold rain fell squarely on Bai Ye's nose.
Bai Ye slowly wiped the rain from the tip of his nose, but more raindrops hit his face.
"I think God might not like me very much..."
Raindrops also fell on the faces, hands and bodies of everyone participating in the bonfire party.
"It's raining?"
"It's raining……"
"Stop sighing, Xiaobai-kun, and give me an idea."
Bai Ye was not hesitant either. He rolled up the two corners of the blanket as heat-insulating gloves, picked up the curry and rushed under the eaves.
"What advice do you need? Just take shelter from the rain!"
Without saying a word, everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and ran along. After putting them on the side of the corridor, they immediately rushed back to the campfire to get back all the ingredients that had not been grilled yet.
Tick-tick-tick-
A light rain suddenly made everyone busy.
"Have you brought back all the food?"
"Yeah, that should be it."
"Do you want to move the stool?"
"You can sit in the corridor, too."
