Chapter 102: Courtyard Barbecue (3)

Wait what? Master Sheng compromised just like that?

Yu Xi felt that Master Sheng was incredibly easy-going today.

Jian Yujie snorted in dissatisfaction. However, he didn’t say anything. He had heard that Master Sheng had poor health. As a result, it made sense for Yiling to prepare food that was just for him.

Everyone else just looked at the situation from where they were seated. They didn’t say anything as it’d be awkward for them to interrupt.

Wen Nuan felt quite anxious when she saw Zhai Yunsheng talk to her daughter from time to time.

She looked at Grandma Jian for help.

However, Grandma Jian didn’t appear to have any intention to discourage such an interaction.

She had already heard from Grandpa Jian that despite the fact that Master Sheng was hard to deal with, he had no unhealthy or bad habits.

It was known by everyone that the Zhai family had attempted in numerous ways to introduce women to him. However, he had rejected all of them.

And according to Grandpa Jian’s evaluation, Master Sheng was fundamentally a good person. His character was similar to Jian Yiling.

Grandma Jian trusted Grandpa Jian’s opinion on the matter.

Furthermore, what was wrong with the younger generation hanging out? There were so many people here. Nothing would happen. If she were to interfere, wouldn’t that be a bit too unreasonable?

Grandma Jian wasn’t an unreasonable person.

On the other hand, He Yan hurriedly asked the chef of the Old Jian Residence to start preparing food on another barbecue grill.

It would take forever for Jian Yiling to prepare food for the eleven of them. Furthermore, the food that she prepared wouldn’t even be sufficient.

She planned to just let the children play around with their cooking.

Naturally, the chef could start preparing large amounts of food for the guests.

She had to make sure that a distinguished guest like Zhai Yunsheng was treated well. He must not think that the Jian family didn’t know how to take care of their guests considerably.

After a while, Jian Yiling’s scallops and lamb skewers were ready. Jian Yujie and Yu Xi were the first to taste Jian Yiling’s cooking.

No spice had been added to the scallops. However, quite a bit of spice was added to the skewers.

Yu Xi didn’t know when Jian Yiling had discovered that he was addicted to spicy food.

“Oh my, Yiling! It’s so delicious!” Jian Yujie cried out with an expression of joy. He wasn’t reserved in praising her.

Yu Xi muttered to himself. Even if Yiling fed you bitter medicine, you’d probably say it’s sweet or something…

After that thought, Yu Xi bit down on a lamb skewer.

“Wow! How is this even? These lamb skewers are better than the ones I buy from restaurants!”

“Of course! Yiling made them for you! How can you compare the two?”

Jian Yujie replied to Yu Xi’s statement. It was to be expected.

“No, like legit! I’m not lying. It’s much better than the ones I eat outside!”
