The bonfire banquet was a feast unique to the Northern Li grasslands for celebration. Usually, firewood would be piled up in an open space, and everyone would gather around the bonfire to celebrate and eat.
However, there were only three guests today. Jin Zi modified the traditional bonfire banquet. He didn't light a big bonfire, but made a small bonfire with an iron rack and roasted a whole lamb.
Mu Ling 'er smelled the aroma of roasted meat before she even got close. Hungry, she couldn't help but lick her lips. She was hungry. When she got closer, she saw Jin Zi personally holding the knife and sitting by the fire to "serve" the whole lamb.
She didn't know how long he had been roasting it. The whole lamb was golden and shiny, and the meat was brown and crispy. Mu Ling 'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She could give full marks for its appearance. She wondered how it would taste.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye sat to the side. There were two things on the short table: an empty plate and a pot of tea.
"Ling 'er, you're here. Have a seat!" Han Yunxi said with a smile.
Actually, Jin Zi knew that Mu Ling 'er had come when Han Yunxi didn't say anything. He lowered his head and carefully smeared honey on the whole lamb.
Jin Zi's seat was to the right of Han Yunxi, and Mu Ling 'er's seat wasn't there.
Long Fei Ye was tasting the tea that Jin Zi had prepared. Han Yunxi looked around and pretended to be stupid. She pointed at Jin Zi's seat and said, "Mu Ling 'er, there's another seat."
There was only a plate and a pot of tea in Jin Zi's seat. He hadn't sat down yet, so there were no traces of him having touched it. Mu Ling 'er glanced at it and went over to sit.
Just like that, the three of them sat and waited for Jin Zi to serve the meat.
Although it was winter, Han Yunxi suddenly felt like she was eating barbecue by the roadside. She couldn't help but laugh as she smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Long Fei Ye asked in a low voice.
"If Jin Zi sets up a stall to sell barbecue, his business will be very good," Han Yunxi replied.
No matter what, Jin Zi was the leader of the Northern Li Grassland and a First Grade Minister of Great Qin. Han Yunxi's evaluation of Jin Zi made Long Fei Ye speechless. His Empress must have been crazy about doing business recently. Mu Ling'er didn't want to look at Jin Zi, but she was hungry! She was so hungry that her stomach was rumbling. As the aroma of the roasted meat grew stronger, her gaze drifted towards the roasted lamb. She couldn't help but glance at Gold a few times.
This was the first time she knew that this guy actually knew how to roast meat, and his skills were so good!
She had always thought that he was a vegetarian when she saw how skinny he was and how he didn't have much meat on him! With his level of roasting skills, God knows how many cows and sheep he had eaten in the Northern Li grasslands. Mu Ling'er thought that Jin Zi must be the kind of person who could eat meat every day without getting fat.
It really made people envious and jealous!
Indeed, Jin Zi was a person who liked to eat meat. The only thing that attracted him in the Northern Li grasslands was the meat on the grasslands.
Not long after, Jin Zi finished roasting the lamb. The whole lamb was golden and shiny, looking crispy and yellow, making people want to take a bite.
Soon, everyone found that Jin Zi was not only good at roasting, but also very good at cutting. His martial arts were obviously not good, but when he waved the knife, he had a special style. His movements were like moving clouds and flowing water, the knife light flashed and there was a bit of knife qi.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye watched with interest.
Han Yunxi muttered, "This guy really has some skills."
"Maybe he has good talent for practicing martial arts." Long Fei Ye said.
But Han Yunxi only laughed. "He must have trained his hands so quickly in the gambling dens!"
Jin Zi was the number one gambling king in the Three-Way Black Market. Winning or losing on the gambling table depended on one word, fast hands and fast eyes!
Mu Ling'er watched in a daze, forgetting that she was hungry. At this moment, Han Yunxi suddenly became alert, "There's poison!
She immediately looked behind Mu Ling'er and saw a big red eyed white tiger coming out of nowhere, approaching Mu Ling'er step by step. This big tiger's physique was bigger than the average tiger by a size. Its teeth and claws were poisonous and it was undoubtedly the poisonous tiger that Jun Yi Xie had kept in Tiger's Prison.
The poisonous tigers in Tiger's Prison were later subdued by Jin Zi and many of them sacrificed themselves to help Jin Zi in his rebellion. The one in front of them should be one of the two that survived.
As the saying goes, tigers are full of might. When a tiger walks, it will be awe-inspiring and imposing. But this red eyed big tiger was interesting. It was obviously a huge creature but when it walked, it was like a mouse. It lowered its head and tiptoed stealthily toward Mu Ling'er in fear of being discovered. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye didn't say anything when they saw that this big guy didn't have any ill intentions toward Ling'er.
Mu Ling'er's attention was completely focused on the roasted lamb head slices in Jin Zi's hands and didn't notice the strange situation behind her.
Jin Zi sliced up a large plate of roasted lamb. Each piece of meat was long and uniform in thickness. The slices of roasted lamb were stacked together in the center of the large plate.
He glanced at Mu Ling'er from the corner of his eye and immediately knew that Da Bai was here. However, he didn't make a sound and only strode toward Han Yunxi and the others.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the best food on the grasslands. Please accept it."
Jin Zi offered the plate with both hands respectfully but not humbly. There was still a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
"Thank you," Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
Long Fei Ye didn't have a big appetite, but he ate very well and had very high standards for food. Needless to say, Jin Zi's plate of roasted meat was still to his liking.
After putting down the roasted meat, Jin Zi ordered someone to bring over a plate of lettuce.
This lettuce was also carefully selected. Each leaf was of moderate size and was a light green in color. In a large lettuce, there were probably only one or two leaves.
A plate of appetizing roasted meat and a plate of tender lettuce that made one want to bite into it. Just the sight of it was a pleasure. However, Jin Zi also brought over a plate of sauce.
"This was secretly made by this lowly official." As Jin Zi explained, he took out two pieces of lettuce and wrapped them around a piece of roasted lamb. Then, he stuck the sauce on it and presented it to Han Yunxi.
Logically speaking, he should have presented the dish to Long Fei Ye first. After all, the emperor reigned supreme. However, Long Fei Ye wouldn't haggle over seniority with Han Yunxi. Naturally, he wouldn't bicker with Jin Zi either.
Han Yunxi had seen this way of eating before. However, Long Fei Ye had never seen it before. He was very curious and interested.
Han Yunxi took a bite and immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression, "It's super delicious!"
This roasted lamb not only looked good, but the meat inside the crispy skin was also very soft and tender. Most importantly, it didn't have a bit of sheep smell. Instead, the fragrance of the meat was mixed with the fresh and refreshing taste of the lettuce. It was very palatable and unique.
Han Yunxi wasn't surprised by this way of eating. However, this was the first time that Han Yunxi had tasted this taste and texture.
Han Yunxi hurriedly helped Long Fei Ye wrap it up and let him try it. After Long Fei Ye tasted it, he also said it was good.
To be able to get Long Fei Ye's nod of affirmation, Jin Zi was very proud. He explained in detail how to pay attention to the roasted meat, the choice of lettuce, and the preparation of the sauce.
Mu Ling 'er sat at the side and watched. As she listened, her stomach started to growl!
This was simply torture!
Not only did he make her wait for so long when he invited her over for a meal, he actually deliberately dragged it out!
Based on her understanding of Jin Zi, with Jin Zi's character, how could he explain so much nonsense! He was obviously deliberately using the excuse of explaining to waste time and not bring the meat to her!
Mu Ling 'er was still very ambitious. She didn't leave in a fit of pique and let Jin Zi laugh at her. She also didn't take the initiative to ask for it. She just sat there and simply turned her head away.
Just when Mu Ling 'er was sulking, a Tiger Roar suddenly came from behind her. "Awoo!"
"Ah!"
Mu Ling 'er jumped up in fright. She almost lost her soul! She turned back to take a look and actually realised that a big tiger was sitting behind her! She was given a fright again. The next time she retreated, she didn't know how she fell down.
This time round, Jin Zi finally looked over at her.
Not only Jin Zi, Han Yunxi, Long Fei Ye and the big tiger were all looking at her.
Mu Ling 'er wanted to stand up but she was so hungry that she really didn't have the strength. One must know that she hadn't even eaten lunch. From noon till now, she had only drunk a few cups of water!
Although she was weak and wanted to cry, but she still clenched her teeth and stood up. She naturally recognised that big white tiger. Back then it was this big white tiger that had brought her, Jin Zi and little Tang Tang to hide in the cave. It was also this big white tiger that had found a female tiger to feed little Tang Tang.
Why was it roaring at her?
Just as Mu Ling 'er was about to roar back at that big white tiger, that big white tiger suddenly roared at Jin Zi! In actual fact, that big white tiger's roar wasn't directed at Mu Ling 'er but at Jin Zi!
Jin Zi was stunned.
This beast actually dared to roar at him? What was it roaring at?
Jin Zi looked at that big white tiger and didn't make a sound. However, that big white tiger roared at him again. From that look, anyone could tell that it was extremely dissatisfied with Jin Zi!
Seeing this, Mu Ling 'er was bewildered. What was going on?
Suddenly, that big white tiger jumped out from that position and pounced towards the side of the bonfire. It picked up that whole roasted lamb from the rack and brought it in front of Mu Ling 'er. Give it to her!
This …..
Mu Ling 'er was first stunned before she burst out laughing!
Jin Zi ah Jin Zi, to think that you're the leader of the tiger army! That big white tiger actually betrayed us!
Looking at Jin Zi's stunned expression, Mu Ling 'er felt especially relieved. She pulled the whole roasted lamb over and tore off a leg and started to chew on it!
This way of eating compared to Jin Zi's exquisite way of eating was simply much simpler and cruder.
"Roasted well, delicious!" Mu Ling 'er wasn't stingy with her praises.
As she spoke, she tore off a leg and rewarded it to that big white tiger who was sitting by the side. That big white tiger happily took a bite and ate with relish, completely ignoring Jin Zi's extremely gloomy face.
Looking at the human and tiger's table manners, even Long Fei Ye couldn't help laughing. Han Yunxi couldn't help but burst out laughing but who knew that as she laughed, she suddenly stopped and leaned on the table!
"What's wrong?" Long Fei Ye asked in shock.
Han Yunxi didn't reply as she leaned on the table and didn't move as she stroked her chest.
Long Fei Ye was anxious and just as he was about to help her up, Han Yunxi couldn't help but vomited, vomited …..
Long Fei Ye had never encountered such a situation before and was at a loss. When Mu Ling 'er saw this, she immediately rushed over, "Elder Sister, what's wrong?"
