Back in the palace, Yan Ji arranged for Qingqing and Xia Cao to help Aunt Qin get ready, and after the order, she went back to take a nap.

Yan Ji didn't sleep too long this night, the sun was already setting outside the window, and it was time to prepare dinner. Yan Ji got up and went to the kitchen, only to see that Aunt Qin had already slice and marinated the pork belly and chicken, beef and mutton as instructed, and was now marinating the small fish, while Qingqing and Xia Cao helped to clean all kinds of vegetables and vegetarian food, and then sorted all the food and strung them together with chopsticks.

Yan Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then began to build all kinds of spices, which smelled quite good. He also asked the housekeeper Uncle Ma to help bring a big stove to make a charcoal fire, and placed the barbecue grill flat.

Everything is in place, just waiting for the guests to come.

From ancient times to the present, everyone is very active, the sun has not yet set, and the distinguished guests have arrived.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yan Ji ordered someone to carry the oven to the courtyard and arranged seats for everyone. Then he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get his hands dirty.

"Ninth sister, what are you doing here?" Everyone is very curious, and they don't know what Yan Ji is talking about eating barbecue, anyway, it's just to see the fun.

"Have you all had dinner?" Yan Ji didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Of course not, didn't you let us have a barbecue?" Yan Ji asked Yan Ji with a confused face, almost thinking that she didn't eat it, because she would be wrong.

"That's good, everyone is hungry, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Yan Jiao pretended to be mysterious.

Yan Ji thought to herself, fortunately, there is something to eat, and it was not in vain.

I saw Yan Ji smearing a layer of vegetable oil on the barbecue grill, and then asked Aunt Qin to take the pickled small fish and put it on it, Yan Ji personally pinched the chopsticks and roasted it.

"Ninth sister, is this what you mean by barbecue? Carefully scalded, let me come. Yan Lie couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out to help.

"It's okay, Brother Huang, go wash your hands first." Yan Ji had long wanted Yan Lie to help, wouldn't it be better to have multiple helpers?

"Why do you wash your hands when you pinch your chopsticks?" Yan Lie was puzzled, what a straight man!

"Because I'll have to grab the spices with my hands later!" Yan Ji replied patiently.

"Why? Isn't that dirty? Yan Lie felt incredible.

"That's why I'm telling you to wash your hands first! Trouble washing it clean. Yan Ji smiled as she continued to roast the small fish.

Taking advantage of Yan Lie's interval to wash his hands, Yan Ji grabbed a pinch of spices and sprinkled it on the small fish, and smeared it with a layer of oil, and the fragrance immediately came to her nose. Turn it over, sprinkle it with spices and oil, and the fish is already roasted.

Everyone's gluttony was invariably hooked out, and Yan Lie hurriedly ran back when he smelled the fragrance. "Why does it smell so good?"

"I just sprinkled the spice on it, how's it going? Smelly, right? Yan Ji asked.

"Yes, yes, it's very fragrant." Yan Lie nodded like pounded garlic, and couldn't wait to try it.

"Okay, this first royal brother, you taste it first, if it's delicious, I'll teach you to bake the rest." After Yan Ji finished speaking, Yan Lie immediately took a small fish, and when he turned around, he saw that everyone was staring at him, and he was a little embarrassed, "Otherwise, my father will eat it first." ”

"It's okay, there's more here, the first one to give the imperial brother a taste first, and then I can continue to work for everyone, does my father agree?" Yan Ji said playfully.

Emperor Yan Yun nodded, he looked at the exceptionally harmonious scene in front of him, and felt that he was much younger after making trouble with the children.

Yan Lie was no longer polite, in front of everyone, he took a bite of the small fish in his hand, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and refreshing, bite after bite, the more he ate, the more he wanted to eat, and he ate it after three times and five divided by two.

"How? Is it tasty? Everyone was very concerned about Yan Lie's reaction.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's even more fragrant than the fish made in the imperial dining room. Ninth sister, can you have another one? Yan Lie looked at Yan Ji expectantly and said.
