Lu Lu stared at Xixi in a daze for a while before he came back to his senses. He said in surprise and joy, "Xixi, you mean … you mean you're pregnant?"
"Yes." Xixi nodded shyly. However, she could not help but look up at Lu Lu. Her eyes were also filled with joy. "I wasn't sure a few days ago, but the World Tree gave me feedback today. There's a little life in my stomach. That's our child."
"That's great." Lu Lu opened his arms and hugged Xixi. However, he immediately let go of his hands. He was afraid that he would hurt Xixi and the child in her stomach. He just looked at Xixi with a silly smile like a child. For a moment, he did not know where to put his hands.
"Touch it." Xixi smiled as she grabbed his big hands and gently placed them on her stomach. Although there was no sign of a bump, the two of them treated it as if it was a treasure.
Lu Lu squatted down and pressed his ear gently against Xixi's stomach. He closed his eyes and listened carefully. "Let me listen and see if our child has anything to say to us."
Xixi touched Lu Lu's head gently with her hand. Her smile was filled with happiness.
Perhaps only they knew how rare this child was and how much it meant to them.
They once thought that they would never be able to have a child. The Druid lineage would be completely cut off in their hands.
…
"Hey, Mr. Mak is too capricious, isn't he? In the past, when he took leave during holidays, at least the designated hot pot area would continue to operate. Today, we can't even eat hot pot. "
"Hot pot is nothing. The Mana Hot Pot Restaurant in front is opened by Mr. Mak's designated hot pot chef. The ingredients are slightly inferior to Mamy's hot pot, but they each have their own merits. The key is that the price is cheap. It's almost one-tenth of Mamy's."
"Alright, we'll settle for the next best thing. Let's go and try Mana Hot Pot Restaurant today."
Outside the restaurant, the excited customers looked at the closed door and complained helplessly. They had no choice but to head to Mana Hot Pot Restaurant for their hot pot.
No one knew that Meg and the others had actually returned from their vacation happily and were having a lively barbecue dinner in the restaurant.
The three goats brought back from the Blue Grassland were the main characters of the night. The blue goats were made into skewers. Even the wooden skewers used to skewer the meat were made from baka wood that Meg had specially brought back. As it was his first time roasting mutton, he wasn't very confident, so he cut the mutton into pieces that were about the same size as the beef kebab. This way, he could control the heat better.
As for the polar black goat, it had been tamed by Amy as a mount on the way here. When she returned to the restaurant at night to slaughter the goat, she was in a dilemma.
"Little Black, although we had a lot of fun at noon, and you're smarter than Ugly Duckling, it's already night time. We're hungry, so we can only eat you." Amy patted the black goat's head and comforted it. "Don't be sad, I'll enjoy you."
"Baa ~"
The black goat licked Amy's hand, then walked resolutely towards Meg, who was holding the vegetable leaves.
"The mutton soup is boiling in the pot. The grill at home is a little small, so we can't roast a whole goat, so we can only roast half a goat. The roasting method is a little different from what we had at the grassland this afternoon. Let's try it out later." Meg placed the grill in the middle of the restaurant. The tables and chairs were moved to the side, and the three long tables were joined together to form a long table for everyone.
Barbecuing in the kitchen by himself made him feel like a chef, not a member of a barbecue party.
Furthermore, barbecue was all about the smell of smoke and fire. If everything was prepared and served to the table, the taste would be gone, and they would have to watch the meat slowly cook on the grill.
Today's mutton was the main character, but of course, they couldn't just eat mutton. Pig's eyes, beef … these were just supporting roles.
Although she missed the trip, Irina didn't miss this barbecue. She was eating fruit and patiently listening to Amy talk about the interesting things that happened during the trip today. When she heard something funny, she would laugh with Amy.
The charcoal in the grill was already burning red. Meg brushed a layer of oil on the grill and started to put the mutton on it.
"Sizzle ~"
When the mutton came into contact with the hot grill, it immediately began to emit oil, and the aroma of the meat also spread.
Compared to the original method of eating the mutton on the grassland, where only a handful of salt was sprinkled, Meg used more force. When he sprinkled chili powder and cumin powder, it was as if he had injected a soul into it. The gentle aroma suddenly became sharp and irresistible.
Everyone who was originally chatting was attracted by the mutton skewers on the grill. Although they had eaten a lot of mutton skewers at noon, the smell of Meg's mutton skewers was even more invasive. Just smelling the aroma made their mouths salivate.
Watching the mutton skewers slowly change on the grill, the process was both pleasing to the eye and torturous.
"Okay, try the first mutton skewers I've ever made." Meg gathered the mutton skewers on the grill and placed them on three long wooden trays. He handed them to Mia, who had been waiting for a long time.
"It looks great." Mia smiled and placed the trays on the three tables. This way, no one would have to get up to take it.
"Let me try." Amy couldn't wait to grab a mutton skewer. She only hurriedly blew on it a few times before putting it into her mouth and taking a bite.
Compared to the rough way the herdsmen on the grassland ate, Meg's mutton skewers were more delicate in size. Moreover, he only used meat and didn't keep the bones, so it was more convenient to eat.
"Oh — the mutton that Father roasted is also delicious." Amy chewed on the mutton happily. She didn't forget to pick up another skewer and pass it to Irina, who was sitting next to her. "Sister Irina, try it too. It's really super delicious. "
"Okay, I'll try it." Irina took the mutton skewers. Looking at the color, the surface was slightly brown. Smelling it, the aroma of the meat assailed her nostrils. The spices were tempting. Her delicate red lips blew on the first mutton before taking a bite.
"This taste!"
The surface of the mutton was slightly charred, but the texture wasn't hard at all. The spices first tickled her taste buds, and when she bit into the mutton, the fresh and sweet flavor suddenly burst forth in her mouth.
It was the taste of the grassland. The blue grassland that Amy had described to her just now, which was almost the same color as the sky, instantly appeared in her mind. Flocks of blue sheep strolled and grazed on the grassland. What a carefree and beautiful scene.
The corners of Irina's mouth couldn't help but curl up. The spices gave the fresh and sweet mutton a rich layer of flavor, and also satisfied her greedy taste buds to the fullest extent.
In addition to the cumin and chili powder, there was also a faint fragrance that lingered in the air, bringing with it the flavor of the grassland.
If the beef was already amazing enough, then the mutton skewers should be on par with it.
In fact … she felt that she might even like the mutton skewers a little more.
