Female-to-male: I live on farming

Qin Ke, who couldn't do any tricks, could only behave himself. However, with his long arms and legs, he held Lu Youqing tightly in his arms like an octopus. With her soft and fragrant body in his arms, Qin Ke suddenly felt that his life was complete.

Qin Ke felt that as soon as Lu Youqing came back, his old habit of staying in bed came back again.

"Get up later..." Qin Ke held on to Lu Youqing and refused to let her get up.

Lu Youqing could only lie back down helplessly. She had never had a chance of winning in a competition of strength with Qin Ke, so she turned around and faced him.

His eyes were closed, his long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he would wake up at any time, his nose had a graceful line and his jawline was smooth and natural.

His lips were tightly pursed, revealing a sense of determination and calmness during the day, as if he could withstand any difficulties and challenges; but when he fell asleep, the slightly pouting corners of his mouth revealed an unspeakable cuteness and playfulness.

"So how long do you want to sleep?"

Although he didn't open his eyes, Lu Youqing knew that he was awake. She rubbed his earlobe and said angrily.

"Sleep until you don't want to sleep anymore." Qin Ke didn't even open his eyes, but his hands around her waist tightened.

Lu Youqing chuckled helplessly and could only let him go. However, Qin Ke still had some sense, knowing that he had to go to the Ministry of Industry today, so he didn't stay too long.

After breakfast, Qin Ke first sent Lu Youqing to the Princess's Mansion. Qin Ke had agreed with Lu Youqing last night that he wanted to hold a barbecue feast so that everyone could taste his newly developed delicacies and also hold a welcoming banquet for Lu Youqing.

Therefore, in addition to reporting to the eldest princess today, Lu Youqing also sent them invitations.

Generally speaking, Qin Ke does not need to report for work. Reporting for work means going to court when the rooster crows. The rooster usually crows at five in the morning, and the corresponding time period is exactly the Mao hour. Before going to work, someone will count the number of people, so it is called "reporting for work".

Qin Ke's position is somewhat special. He is not just the Minister of Agriculture, but also supervises some matters of the Ministry of Industry and is responsible for opening up new business paths for the eldest princess.

Therefore, he, like Xiao Anyi, is a confidant who has direct contact with the eldest princess, and trivial matters like reporting for duty are of no big deal.

The eldest princess has always been flexible in employing people. Now is the time for her to employ people. For people with real abilities, she is never bound by formalities.

"Oh, barbecue party?" Jinyang asked with interest, holding the invitation written by Lu Youqing.

That’s right, Jinyang could tell at a glance that the handwriting on it was Lu Youqing’s. It was because Qin Ke and Lu Youqing’s handwritings were too easy to recognize.

"Yes," Lu Youqing nodded gently and said, "My husband said that this is a new delicacy he has researched, and he specially invited Your Highness and Patriarch Gu to taste it together."

"Okay, I have nothing to do recently, so let's go and take a look together." Jinyang nodded without hesitation.

Qin Ke naturally invited them because he saw that she didn't have much to do recently.

Qin Ke didn't invite many people. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess was here, and some people might not be happy to eat even if they were invited. Moreover, Qin Ke's behavior was somewhat similar to that of his previous life. He didn't distinguish people based on their status, but only based on their closeness.

Jinyang and Gu Lanxi were naturally the last to arrive. The banquet was held in an elegant courtyard. The pavilions and towers in the garden were quiet and peaceful, with green trees shading them, which set off the vermilion pavilion columns and were a beautiful sight.

It was half an hour before sunset. The clouds drifting westward suddenly parted, revealing a part of the sun. Between the two clouds, sunlight poured out and sprinkled on the ground, dyeing the entire courtyard with warm colors.

This season is not the best time for barbecue. Unfortunately, Lu Youqing is not here during the summer, so Qin Ke has no interest in it.

Now that she has finally come back, I naturally want to present the best things to her.

Jinyang and Gu Lanxi naturally noticed this. After they sat in the main seats, Gu Lanxi looked at the iron rack with smoke coming out of it. The charcoal inside was burning red, and there were strings of things placed on it.

Lihua and Li Nanqiao were leading people in a barbecue. Qin Ke prepared many kinds of skewers, including the most classic lamb skewers, as well as chicken wings, chicken breasts, vegetables and so on.

Jinyang's sight fell on the largest pile of fire in the middle, which was a whole leg of lamb, which was being placed on a rack by Lei Zhong and kept rotating.

The charcoal fire is blazing, the aroma of meat is everywhere, the tender skewers of meat are sizzling, the fat is dripping, and a small flame is ignited.

Keep turning it over, brushing it with oil, and then sprinkling it with some unknown seasoning. As the seasoning falls, it adds to the attractive color and taste.

Jinyang was not unfamiliar with this. During the march and battle, they would occasionally go hunting on the road to improve their meals. Barbecue was not unfamiliar to the soldiers, but they simply sprinkled some salt on it.

When Xiao Anyi saw Lei Zhong's actions, a curious look appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but move closer, wanting to see what he put on it to make it golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and exuding a mouth-watering aroma.

Soon, the courtyard was filled with the slight smoky smell from the burning charcoal, blending with the fat aroma of the barbecue to form a unique burnt aroma.

The aroma of seasonings wafts in the air, with the scents of cumin, chili and Sichuan pepper intertwined together. The sizzling, golden and crispy skewers of meat exude a rich meaty aroma, wantonly stimulating people's taste buds.

When the servants served wine to everyone present, they also brought a few glasses of watermelon juice. The watermelons were fresh watermelon juices that Qin Ke had stored in the space. After all, watermelons were out of season at this time of year.

"I say, Qin Sinong, do you have to wait for your wife to come back before you do these new things?" Gu Lanxi's slender and white fingers gently grasped the handle of the cup and gently shook the watermelon juice in her hand. The red liquid spread out in the cup, creating ripples.

Qin Ke naturally heard the sarcasm in her words, but with the eldest princess next to her, he wouldn't dare to retort even if he had eight guts.

Fortunately, Lihua and the others had already brought up the grilled skewers, and everyone's eyes were on the delicious food.

Qin Ke knew that people of his wife's background paid great attention to etiquette and posture when eating, so he helped to use chopsticks to transfer the meat from the skewer to her bowl.

At this time, Jinyang had picked up a piece of mutton and slowly put it into her mouth. She could feel the tender and smooth meat rubbing against the tip of her tongue. The meat was fat but not greasy, and lean but not dry.

The seasoning is just right, not covering up the original flavor of the meat, but also adding a unique flavor. During the chewing process, the fibers of the meat gradually spread out, releasing more deliciousness.
