"Ye'zi, you know how to cook?" Little Gen asked in surprise.
Ye Lingchen laughed, "A little. I can give it a try."
"Better not. After wasting all those vegetables and meat, there's not much left. Don't bother wasting your efforts," Xiang persuaded.
"It's fine. I'm not hungry anyway." Ye Lingchen paused, then looked at the Little Gen trio thoughtfully. "Just a friendly reminder, you guys should refrain from eating. Leave some space to taste my cooking."
The trio was caught off guard, stopping their hand as they were taking the bread out, then gave Ye Lingchen a confused look.
'Friendly reminder? What's the deal?'
Ye Lingchen did not say much. Instead, he approached the forgotten barbeque rack by himself. Although his Culinary proficiency was maxed out, he had never cooked before, therefore it was unclear what the final product would be like.
Reaching the barbeque rack, Ye Lingchen took a quick look and felt confident. Several recipes were ready in his mind.
Even though most of the meats were done for, there were still some vegetables and small cuts of meats leftover.
With a smile, he started with a quick clean of the barbeque rack. Following that, he started a fire to heat up the rack as he cut up the remaining vegetables.
Unlike those girls, he did not just dump all the vegetables and meat in a heap. Instead, he started cutting apart the vegetables at places that would bring out the most flavor. Not only would that improve the taste of the vegetables, but it would also make it more appealing visually.
Each vegetable was cut into uniform shapes. After that, he minced up the remaining meat.
He then mixed the minced meat with salt, flavor enhancer, soy sauce, and other seasonings together. With that, he turned it into a special seasoning sauce.
By then, the rack was turning red as the temperature rose quickly.
Ye Lingchen slathered the minced meat sauce on the vegetables, then placed them one by one on top of the barbeque rack. His gaze was fixated on the barbeque rack, turning the vegetables accordingly as the heat changed.
The gang noticed Ye Lingchen's actions, but none of them approached him. Instead, they just sat and chatted at the sidelines.
"Since Ye'zi said so, I'll refrain from eating and give his cooking a taste," Little Gen said as he stuffed his bread back into the backpack.
"I'll wait too," Xiang and Potato said at the same time.
Meanwhile, the others were either eating or snacking.
Amidst all of them, the one enjoying this time the most was Hao Jian.
The smile blossomed on his face like a flower. Taking the lid off his freshly cooked instant noodles, he took a whiff of the aroma with a blissful expression.
