Chapter 210 What a delightful backyard barbecue feast!
"Hiss~~~ Brother Di, what are these skewers in there? Why do they smell so good... Hao Hao's mouth watered as soon as he smelled them... Hiss~~~"
Meng Jinhao couldn't help but tell the truth: he used to only have a runny nose, but now it's a mix of snot and saliva, and he can't even keep up with it all...
Meng Di's mouth was watering uncontrollably, but he was too proud to admit it, so he could only swallow it down.
He smiled and said to his younger siblings, "Let me tell you, this is barbecue! So that you can try it too, I didn't even order my favorite spicy flavor. See how good I am to you all?"
Meng Xiaoxiao couldn't resist any longer; the fruit tea in her hand no longer tasted sweet, and she just wanted to quickly savor the delicious barbecue.
She said coquettishly, "Brother Di has always been the best and most generous. Xiaoxiao loves playing with Brother Di the most. So, Brother Di, can Xiaoxiao have a skewer to try?"
"Alright, alright, one skewer each. Brother Di will distribute them to you. Line up properly, or you won't get any!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the children who had been standing around in a disorderly manner quickly lined up into a neat row.
From Mengdi's perspective, apart from Xiaoxiao at the front of the line, there wasn't a single other head in sight, which showed just how eager they were to enjoy the barbecue...
Because he really couldn't resist wanting to try it, he made up a plausible excuse: "Um, don't rush, let Brother Di try a skewer for you first and see which skewer tastes the best."
After saying that, before the children could react, Meng Di quickly picked up a meat skewer from the takeout box he had already opened and put it in his mouth.
Just then, Xiao Jing's voice rang in his ear:
"This is a one-on-one food explanation service provided by Xiaojing for our valued guests. If you do not need an explanation, you can tell us 'stop' at any time."
The barbecue you are enjoying is called grilled lamb skewers. The slightly charred, crispy skin encases tender, juicy lamb, topped with the essential cumin and other seasonings. The flavor is irresistible; you'll definitely want a second skewer after just one.
With Xiao Jing's detailed description, the small piece of roasted mutton that Meng Di bit into was indeed as delicious as described.
The rich, chewy, and savory aroma of caramelized meat instantly filled his mouth.
As you chew, the unique texture of the roasted meat and the precise ratio of seasonings make the lamb taste absolutely exquisite!
It wasn't until he took his first bite of roasted lamb that he belatedly began to savor its wonderful taste.
This meat... after being roasted, has become so incredibly delicious?
Mengdi was completely amazed by the taste. Incredulously, he continued to bite the second piece of roasted mutton on the bamboo skewer, and instinctively bit the meat along the skewer.
Sure enough, just as Xiao Jing said, once you start eating these lamb skewers, you can't help but eat one after another, and you can't stop at all. To be more precise, you don't want to stop at all.
Immersed in the world of food, Meng Di had long forgotten about his younger siblings who were still obediently queuing up and eagerly waiting for their food. He only wanted to enjoy the delicious meat skewers to the fullest.
The children initially stared intently at the back of the person in front of them, afraid that they would lose the chance to taste the fragrant skewers if they didn't line up properly.
They stared intently for a long time, almost to the point of cross-eyedness, but still didn't hear Mengdi's brother speak.
They couldn't help but wonder: Should they peek and see what Brother Di was doing? Why did they only hear him making "hmm~ hmm~" sounds, but he hadn't given any instructions yet?
Meng Jinhao, who was second in line, finally couldn't contain his curiosity. He quickly peeked out and then quickly pulled back in.
Huh? What did he see? Brother Mengdi was already holding four empty skewers! Wasn't he just saying he'd let them try one skewer first?
Meng Jinhao was a little unsure, so he peeked out again and found that Di Gege's attention was not on them at all, but was focused on the skewers in his hand.
He couldn't wait any longer, so he broke away from the group and went to watch.
"Brother Di...is this meat delicious?"
Meng Jinhao's words finally woke Meng Di from his reverie of the delicious barbecue.
When Mengdi opened her eyes and returned to the real world, she realized that she had completely forgotten her situation because of her gluttony, and she had also forgotten about her younger siblings who were eagerly waiting for food...
Uh... delicious food can be a trap!
"Mmm, Brother Di has already tried it for you, and it tastes great! Come on, each of you should choose a skewer first, and you can choose more after you finish eating."
They were just a group of four- or five-year-old kids without academy diplomas, and they didn't have much of a mind to it. Meng Di easily fooled them.
Upon hearing that it was finally their turn to taste the food, Meng Jinhao hurriedly ran back to the group, afraid of missing this opportunity.
Meng Xiaoxiao was so engrossed in watching Meng Di eat that it made her feel as if she were tasting the delicious food herself.
So she quickly chose a meat skewer that was similar to the one Mengdi had eaten first, and after receiving it, she went to the side and ate it with relish.
The children finally lined up, each picking a skewer of barbecue from the box. They couldn't wait to put it in their mouths and start eating right there.
"Wow~ This meat is so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious meat before!"
"Hmm, Hao Hao is a little chubby, but he smells delicious even when he's not eating meat!"
"The thin slices I chose were fragrant and crispy, and I felt they tasted even better than the meat!"
"Xiaoxiao's meat is the most delicious, who wants to share with me?"
"I want to change! I want to change!"
"I want to change mine too. I have lots of vegetables. Who wants to try some?"
"Wowowo..."
The little ones didn't mind each other's food. After eating a piece, they started exchanging and tasting each other's food, so that everyone could try more different flavors.
And so, in the backyard of the Meng family mansion, filled with the aroma of barbecue, the innocent cries of "So delicious!" "So tasty!" "Too good!" and "I want more!" rose and fell, accompanied by the smacking sounds of chewing...
The delicious barbecue transcended the boundaries of the venue, so delicious that everyone forgot where they were, completely disregarding dining etiquette, and enjoying a feast that seemed to have fallen from the sky.
Mengdi simply opened all the boxes and let the children take whatever they wanted.
At this moment, food became the only important thing, and etiquette had long been forgotten.
After eating until their bellies were round, Mengdi and the other children looked at each other in bewilderment at the empty box on the table.
Oh no, they seem to have forgotten that Grandma's birthday banquet is about to begin.
They thoroughly enjoyed the delicious milk tea and barbecue, but what if they couldn't eat any more of the delicacies at the birthday banquet later...?
What else can we do? Naturally, we'll get a spanking from our mothers when we get home...
