When Yan Yan saw Yan Lie, she suddenly had an idea. "Brother Emperor, these ladies and sisters have all eaten the barbecue I made. Why don't you, Brother Emperor, invite the other brothers to have a barbecue outdoors for me?"
"Outdoors? Can we have barbecue outdoors?" Yan Lie was a little in disbelief.
"Of course, when the emperor is marching and fighting, won't he also shoot some birds and roast them to eat?" Yan Shu explained.
"I remember what Jiumei said. It did happen. But the conditions during the march were too poor and there weren't many seasonings. Naturally, it wasn't as delicious as yours." Yan Lie was filled with emotion all of a sudden.
"So, let's try a new way of eating. Maybe we can inspire the soldiers to be self-sufficient in the future and eat something delicious when they go out." Yan Shu suggested.
"Okay, it just so happens that the weather is pretty good today, otherwise it will be in the afternoon?" Yan Lie asked.
"Okay, but you have to send someone to buy ingredients first. I..." Yan Shu turned back and glanced at the ladies who were eating with gusto.
"Brother Huang has taken care of the ingredients. If you need to prepare anything, Jiumei, just tell Brother Huang." Yan Lie patted his chest and volunteered.
"Qingqing, bring the list." Yan Shu ordered. Qingqing immediately brought up the shopping list and handed it to Yan Lie.
"Jiu Mei has been prepared in advance?" Yan Lie found it unbelievable.
"Yes, sooner or later, I will invite the royal brothers to have a barbecue together, so I made the list in the morning, and before I had time to send someone to buy it, you, the enemy, are here." Yan Shu explained, of course, the last sentence I said it in my heart.
Yan Lie opened the list and took a look and saw it read: Ten local chickens, ten big fish, fifty small fish, ten kilograms of mutton, ten kilograms of mutton ribs, ten kilograms of beef, ten kilograms of beef ribs, ten kilograms of lean pork. Jin, ten pounds of pork belly. Twenty pounds of vegetables.
"Do we need so much?" Yan Lie said he couldn't figure it out. How could just a few people eat so much?
"It's not much. Brother, please hurry up and prepare it. Send it over as soon as possible. The meat needs to be seasoned and marinated in advance." Yan Yan called Yan Lie unceremoniously. Who knows that he is his brother.
Yan Lie was very efficient in his work. While arranging for purchase, he also went to the prince's office to invite the princes. Everyone was very interested. As soon as they heard that they were going to have a barbecue, the princes and concubines also wanted to go together. In the end, Yan Lie made the decision and could bring the princes and concubines with him. Considering safety factors, everyone finally chose the riverside outside the Imperial Garden. Firstly, it was very close to the harem, and secondly, the location was excellent and security was guaranteed.
The ladies chatted for a while after eating, and didn't go back until noon. Yan Yan had a casual lunch and didn't want to bother anymore, so she simply asked Qing Qing and Xia Cao to go to the courtyard and keep an eye on it. If the King of War's people brought ingredients, they would just keep them and arrange for someone to clean them up and then marinate them.
Yan Shu herself took a nap. She had been busy socializing all morning and had to continue in the afternoon. She was really sleepy, so she should take a nap first.
Yan Shu did not sleep for long, so she got up and went to see the progress in the kitchen. Yan Lie carefully arranged for people to help, and everyone was very agile. The fish was almost finished and the meat was almost cleaned.
Yan Shu also ordered people to prepare fruit wine and soothing soup. It depends on this afternoon whether they can successfully attract investors!
As Yan Shu's good sisters, the fifth princess and the sixth princess will naturally not be absent. With them around, Yan Shu felt more at ease.
