Chapter 18 Finally Home
Happy days are always short. After the joyous and carefree days are over, we have to return to our lives.

Most of the people in the courtyard have left in the past few days, leaving only Jiang Li, Jiang Xu, and Zou Ruxue here.

The night before Jiang Li and Jiang Xu left, Zhou Yuan planned to have a barbecue in the courtyard as a practice for them.

There is no shortage of skewers, charcoal, and food ingredients in the courtyard.

In the evening of October, the breeze was gentle and the temperature was just right and a little cool.

The courtyard of the B&B is very lively.

Zhou Yuan went to the warehouse at the back and took out a long table and placed it in the courtyard.

Grandma Zhou said she would not attend gatherings of young people as they, the elderly, have their own entertainment.

Under the osmanthus tree, there were four people, each with a small stool and two barbecue grills.

Jiang Li and Zou Ruxue, each taking one, started grilling.

The remaining two people were threading the skewers on the side, with a clear division of labor.

Put a chicken leg on a skewer, brush them with oil, bake until golden brown, and then score a few diagonally with a knife.

Jiang Li specially brushed some honey produced by the system on the meat, and the skin secreted oil, and the fragrance spread far away.

Jiang Xu had been standing next to Jiang Li, his mouth open involuntarily, he was so greedy that he was almost drooling.

Then he watched his sister hand the first grilled skewer to Zou Ruxue next to her.

"Be careful, it's hot. Blow on it before eating."

"Why not give it to Jiang Xu first."

Zou Ruxue took the skewers and felt Jiang Xu's fiery gaze, and was a little unable to eat them.

Before Jiang Li could say anything, Zhou Yuan, who was next to Jiang Xu, grabbed his head and turned it over.

"You eat first, he's not in a hurry."

Jiang Xu, who was controlled, nodded with some difficulty. He was just a little greedy. Why would he snatch food from a girl?

Zou Ruxue nodded, and after the chicken leg cooled down a little, she ate it in small bites.

After the remaining three skewers were grilled, Jiang Li gave one to each person.

As soon as he got it, Jiang Xu took a bite.

He didn't care about the heat, he was smelling it but couldn't bear to spit it out.

Jiang Li simply couldn't bear to watch it.

Zhou Yuan was even more pleasantly surprised. "Jiang Li, your cooking skills are really good. When I go to City A, I will definitely go to your restaurant to try it."

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to go too." Zou Ruxue, who was enjoying her meal, agreed.

"Of course, you can come anytime."

Jiang Li tasted the chicken leg in his hand, which Zhou Yuan bought in the town early this morning.

Although the texture of the meat was average, it was probably because it was brushed with honey and sprinkled with a little barbecue seasoning.

It smells sweet and tastes amazing.

Zhou Yuan also tasted it. He often barbecued at home.

The meat and grilled ingredients are the same, but the key to its delicious taste must be the honey.

“What kind of honey did you use?”

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly and replied calmly, "Of course it's good honey."

As soon as Zhou Yuan heard it, he knew that she didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask any more questions, but immediately changed the way he asked the question.

"Can you sell me some? You can name your own price. My grandma's stomach isn't very good. I heard honey water can nourish the stomach, so I want to try it."

Even if you don't give face to Zhou Yuan, you have to give face to Grandma Zhou.

Ever since she got to know Grandma Zhou because of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Grandma Zhou would come to eat Jiang Li's sweet-scented osmanthus cake every now and then.

It was not in vain as I taught Jiang Li how to make several kinds of cakes, such as jujube and yam cake, rose crystal cake, and so on.

Not only is it delicious, sweet and soft, it also looks good.

Jiang Xu even begged Jiang Li to make a few more, so that he could show them to his roommates when he got back to school. So Jiang Li readily agreed, but she still had some reservations.

"I didn't bring much this time, so there may not be much left. I'll mail it to you when I have more."

After all, the luggage she brought this time was only that big, and if she took out several kilograms of honey, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

Zhou Yuan naturally had no problem with it. It was good enough to have it, and he could afford to wait.

Zhou Yuan, who got what he wanted, naturally ate more and more enthusiastically.

Grab a handful of roasted lamb skewers and put them into your mouth.

The color of the lamb skewers was slightly browned and greasy.

The taste instantly mesmerized everyone and they ate it voraciously.

There were all kinds of lamb skewers, beef skewers, pork belly rolled with enoki mushrooms, grilled sausages, grilled chicken gizzards, and grilled chicken wings, and everyone was very satisfied with the food.

Jiang Xu and Zhou Yuan, who were good friends, almost had a fight over the last few lines.

The way they bickered with each other made Jiang Li and Zou Ruxue laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

After three rounds of meals, Jiang Li and Zou Ruxue suddenly became interested and prepared to take some beautiful photos under the osmanthus tree.

For this purpose, Jiang Li went to Xiaohong Bar to search for how to take atmospheric photos in the dark.

Because there is no fill light, I can only use the light of a flashlight.

The shot used the light from a flashlight to illuminate Zou Ruxue's face, coupled with Jiang Li's amateur skills.

The photos I took were unexpectedly touching.

A proud Jiang Li announced that she had found her second hobby: taking beautiful photos.

Jiang Li was still a little reluctant to leave the next day. Zou Ruxue was the first friend she made after coming into this world.

Jiang Li couldn't believe it. Although they had only known each other for a few days, it felt like they had known each other for a long time.

They seemed to have endless things to talk about, and they laughed a lot in the past two days.

Zou Ruxue also said with a smile that she felt like she had two more wrinkles.

It is always sad to say goodbye. Before Jiang Li got on the car, he received a hug from Zou Ruxue.

She patted Zou Ruxue's back gently and said, "Okay, when you have time, come to City A to visit me. I'll make you something delicious."

When Zou Ruxue heard about eating, she immediately raised her moist eyes and said, "When I have time, I will definitely go to play with you."

"You must not forget me."

Jiang Li shook the phone in his hand, indicating that he could contact her via WeChat if he had any questions.

People who are destined to be together will never be separated no matter how far they go.

As soon as he returned to City A, Jiang Li rested at home for the whole morning.

I went shopping in the supermarket with Jiang Xu, and also took the opportunity to eat some snacks for the kids whose moms didn't buy them.

Carrying a bag full of snacks, I successfully received the envious and jealous looks from the children.

It also satisfies Jiang Li's strange evil taste, but it also makes him happy to be bad occasionally.

When I got home, it wasn't time to make lunch yet.

Jiang Li took out the black sesame seeds exchanged in the system and the honey in his backpack, intending to make honey sesame balls.

I actually planned to do it when I was at the B&B, but I just couldn’t spare the time.

Every day, I am either busy walking around and taking photos, or in the kitchen making pastries with Grandma Zhou and Zou Ruxue.

Life is so busy and fulfilling that I forget about the honey sesame balls.

This time it was because I saw Jiang Xu’s hair had been dyed so many times that it became dry and yellow, and his hair was so short that it had split ends.

Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore, so he arranged something for Jiang Xu as soon as he came back.

Whether Jiang Xu's little head can be saved depends on this one move.
