Chapter 2652: Underhanded Tricks
Guo Xinjie smiled as he saw Feng Jiu standing still, just looking at him. “Why? Can’t I ask you for help?” He was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. On the contrary, his contempt and provocation were visible between his brows.
Feng Jiu responded with a simple and honest smile. “No, it’s just that I’m a little worried.”
“What exactly are you worried about?” Guo Xinjie asked.
“I’m afraid if you eat what I bake, you’ll hold me accountable for everything. I really don’t want to do something so thankless.” She answered with an embarrassed expression.
Guo Xinjie laughed when he heard this. “Do you think so many of us are blind that we will give you the chance to do underhanded tricks?”
“So, if something is seriously wrong, it’s none of my business?” She inquired with a smile.
“Nonsense! What could possibly go wrong? When you cut off a piece of food after roasting the meat, I don’t think you dare do anything.” He snorted and motioned for him to follow him.
Feng Jiu smiled and took a look around. She didn’t say anything because everyone was staring at them and had clearly heard their conversation. Guo Xinjie led her to the fire where the meat was being roasted.
Guo Xinning followed them and came over to Feng Jiu. Seeing her hand him the bottle after she took it out, Guo Xinning was taken aback. “What am I supposed to do with it?”
“Check it! This is an ordinary spice. Let someone check it to avoid the accusation that I made a mess for you.”
After hearing this, Guo Xinning wanted to advise him that there was no need for it. Seeing that all eyes were on him, he took it, handed it to the middle-aged man in front of him, and returned quickly.
“Uncle Sun has seen it, and it is indeed a meat-seasoning spice.” With that, he returned the item to Feng Jiu.
So, Feng Jiu took a knife, cut meat from the grill, and seasoned it. People sat and conversed while observing him grill meat.
When a powerful meat aroma spread, everyone surreptitiously swallowed and gazed at the grill on the fire rack.
The golden crispy skin and the strong meat aroma made the people drool and swallow their saliva. They averted their gaze from the unremarkable-looking young man, unaware that he possessed such skill.
“Alright, you may now eat.” Feng Jiu threw away the leftover seasonings and then chopped a little piece of the meat with a knife. “I’ll eat this piece!”
Knowing that people would not feel reassured if she did not eat the meat, she cut a small portion and started eating.
After the others watched Feng Jiu eat the barbecue, they took a knife and cut some roasted meat, first sending some to the elderly and middle-aged men before sharing the rest.
Feng Jiu observed Guo Xinjie eating the barbecue with a smile as a glint flashed by her eyes and the corners of her lips slightly lifted. She then turned and walked towards Xie Yutang.
