Su Yu stood by the lake, looking at the scenery before her, feeling very comfortable and at ease.
The guards of the three families stood or sat on guard in the distance.
Only Su Yu, a few disciples, and the young princess of the Lin family remained by the lake.
Ruoruo and Wan'er, the two little girls, rarely get to go out and play, and they chatter incessantly.
It did diminish the tranquility of the lakeside by a third.
However, seeing the two of them going from being strangers and awkward at the beginning, not knowing what to say.
Now, they walk hand in hand, chatting about the birds in the sky and the fish in the water.
Su Yu still felt quite comfortable.
Children can easily form friendships.
She was originally just a soft and sweet little girl who clung to him.
Now there are two of them, both clinging to him.
"Dr. Su, what kind of fish is this?"
"Sir, sir, look, it's blowing bubbles."
"so cute."
"..."
Su Yu smiled helplessly and rubbed the two little heads of the children in front of her.
He patiently explained some facts about fish to the two little girls.
As for fish blowing bubbles, they're cuter?
Are the two chubby little girls in front of me, with their sweet, baby voices, cuter?
Su Yu naturally felt that, without a doubt, it was the latter.
Fan Xian called over a few guards to help unload the things from his carriage.
Su Yu glanced at it.
Fan Xian brought quite a lot of things with him on his trip today.
The guards spent a long time trying to unload the items, but they still hadn't finished.
However, after taking a closer look at what he was carrying, Su Yu smiled.
These are indeed some essential items for a picnic.
It's basically a complete barbecue grill.
And some sauces with sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors.
"Did you bring all the stuff from Danzhou?"
I went out and had a lot of fun when I was in Danzhou.
It's usually the blind man who does the barbecue; he, Fei Jie, and Fan Xian eat there.
Barbecue paired with plum wine is simply divine.
Unfortunately, the blind man didn't come today.
I should have called him.
Fan Xian chuckled.
"My grandma sent it to me."
Barbecue is definitely a must-do activity for a picnic.
Back when my husband first mentioned going on a picnic, it was still springtime.
He wrote to his grandmother urging her to send these over.
Today, it comes in handy.
Su Yu nodded and smiled.
"Ah."
"good."
Fan Xian grinned as he received the praise.
Li Chengze glanced at Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu.
"You two shouldn't just stand around, go and help out."
"Oh."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After unloading the goods, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu exchanged a glance.
They could only stare at each other, and frowned.
"What are these things?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengze also came over to look, his face full of curiosity.
Fan Xian, who was sitting by the lake basking in the sun, heard this sound.
Then I realized they don't know how to do these things either.
He got up, brushed the bits of grass off his bottom, and walked to the carriage.
He then began to give instructions on how to make the arrangements.
On one hand, he explained these novelties to the Second Prince, who had never seen them before.
Simply put, it's a set of tools for barbecuing.
"This is a barbecue grill, and it's called a large-mesh wire mesh."
"Pepper and cumin jar, fine charcoal..."
Li Chengze found it all quite novel and listened with a smile.
Then, pointing to the pile of rags, he asked curiously.
"Then what is this?"
Fan Xian glanced at it and explained.
"A tent..."
Li Chengze scratched his head.
Tents—that sounds like the kind of tents my older brothers used for marching and fighting.
He looked at Su Yu with a bewildered expression.
Su Yu smiled slightly, pointed to the top of her head, and said.
"You can watch the stars by the lake at night."
Li Chengze nodded and smiled.
I heard that we'd be watching the stars by the lake tonight.
Ruoruo and Wan'er, the two little girls, seemed especially excited.
He happily shook Su Yu's hand a few times.
Like two little rabbits, they hopped and skipped on the grass.
Before long, Fan Xian directed people to start a charcoal fire.
They also brought over all the groceries they had brought from the car.
In addition, there are freshly picked vegetables from the mountains and fish caught fresh from the lake.
Xie Bi'an and Wang Qinian also went and caught a few wild animals.
Fish, meat, vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, and more—you name it, they have it.
Fan Xian moved a rock and sat down by the iron fence.
Carefully spreading the sauce and seasonings.
With Wu Zhu, the main breadwinner, absent, and the guards unable to provide adequate support, the situation became even more challenging.
Su Yu naturally helped out as well.
Otherwise, if Fan Xian roasts it all by himself, who knows when he'll get to eat it.
However, Su Yu was always too lazy to lift a finger, so she naturally offered to help.
He taught Wang Qinian how to operate it.
Old Wang naturally loved learning this skill.
he thought to himself.
Once I learn how, I can make barbecue for my wife.
The lady will definitely love it.
Little did he know.
Now that he's learned it, he'll be in charge of barbecuing when we go on outings.
Bamboo skewers pierce the fish, releasing a delicate aroma as they are steamed and grilled over a fire.
The chubby Versace was originally hiding in the car, afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes in the grass.
At this moment, they were also lured out by the aroma.
At this moment, they no longer mind that the grass is dirty.
He plopped down and sat down by the fire, drooling.
They didn't mind the smoke and heat next to the barbecue grill.
Su Yu smiled.
