The book begins with the waste of all the members

In the evening, Wei Yu decided to set up a barbecue stall at the gate of Chengming Palace, preparing to tempt the guards with delicious food.

Not only did she have to barbecue in front of the gate of Chengming Palace, she also had to fan the door hard so that the aroma of barbecue could float out from the gap.

What if there’s a foodie among the guards?

An hour later, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, they heard a knock on the door.

The eyes through the crack in the door were extremely clear. It belonged to a young guard, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"What are you cooking? It smells delicious."

"Isn't it? Our young lady said this is called barbecue, and it's delicious." Yinsheng answered in a low voice while leaning against the crack of the door, waving two beef skewers in his hand in front of the guards.

They also had barbecue in their time, but it was not as mouth-watering as this.

The guard's eyes were fixed on the skewers in Yinsheng's hand, and his mouth was watering.

"Brother Rope, I see you've almost finished eating. Can my brother and I try these two skewers?"

"I am no longer called Xiaoshengzi. The young lady has given me the name Yinsheng."

"Brother Yinsheng, look..."

Wei Yu nodded, and Yin Sheng handed the skewers in his hand to the guard outside the door. Then he sat down and took out the roasted pork jerky to eat. He didn't expect that pork jerky could be roasted.

Really fragrant.

The young guards outside the door finished eating the skewers in their hands, and then secretly stared at the pork jerky in Yinsheng's hand.

Yinsheng turned sideways and hid the pork jerky.

"As for pork jerky, we have some left. Do you want some?" Wei Yu brought over a plate of pork jerky piled up like a mountain. "If you don't mind, you can have some."

The guard smiled sheepishly, "How can I be so embarrassed?"

Having said that, he took the pork jerky with very honest and pious hands.

The pork jerky has an attractive color and a fragrant aroma, and the skin is roasted to perfection. It is crispy and juicy when you take a bite, with a blend of sweetness and saltiness, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

"This is too delicious."

After eating, he did not forget to give it to his companion, "Loulan, you should eat it too, it's so delicious."

Loulan was the name of another guard.

Because of the delicious food, the guards' attitude towards Wei Yu and the others changed 180 degrees, and they all called her "Miss Wei".

"Miss Wei, where does this food come from? It's so delicious."

"This is just a snack I made these past few days. I still have a few things I haven't finished yet. I'll give some to you guys to try when I have the chance."

"Ah, how can I not be so polite? That would be great. Thank you, Miss Wei."

Wei Yu made a mental gesture and said, "It's okay. You guys are exposed to the wind and sun, and it's hard work. Yinlan, go get two bowls of sour plum soup for the two guards, and bring some barbecue."

"No, thank you. We are on duty and eating and drinking is not very good." Guard Loulan declined.

Only then did Wei Yu notice the guard named Loulan.

So handsome.

Loulan's facial features are very three-dimensional, in modern terms, she looks very mixed-race. She stared at the mixed-race guard intently, and the old lecherous soul was ready to act.

Wei Yu changed his tone to teasing, "Are you afraid that we will report you? Besides, we can't leave this door even if we want to report you, don't you think so, Brother Guard?"

"That was not what I meant......"

At this time, Yinlan came over with two bowls of sour plum soup, and Yinsheng quickly prepared the grilled skewers. Wei Yu gave them a thumbs up: nice.

Wei Yu opened the latch of the gate, and the gate opened with a series of "creaking" sounds.

The door opened, but Wei Yu didn't step out. After all, she was still under house arrest, so she had to pretend.

She held the tray out to the half-blood guard.

"You really don't want to eat it? It smells delicious."

The little guard next to him was very excited and kept pointing at himself, "I want it, I want it."

Seeing the young guard like this, Loulan finally softened her heart and said, "Never mind. Thank you, Miss Wei."

The young guard took the tray, holding a skewer of meat in his left hand and a skewer of potatoes in his right. "I didn't know vegetables could be grilled. They're so delicious, just as good as the meat."

Wei Yu looked at Lou Lan with a smile. Lou Lan had no choice but to pick up a skewer of meat under Wei Yu's scorching gaze.

The soft-hearted god probably refers to people like Loulan.

It wasn't obvious on Loulan's face, but he was obviously eating the skewers much faster.

Eat it, eat it. After you eat my meat, you will be mine. Hehe~

Wei Yu gave a villain smile.

"Is it delicious?" Wei Yu squatted down and asked Lou Lan.

"Delicious, delicious, absolutely delicious." The young guard replied as he ate the meat with big mouthfuls. "The meat is very flavorful and roasted to the perfect temperature. It's absolutely delicious."

While the young guard was talking, Loulan took away the last skewer in a lightning speed.

"You, you, give me back my skewers."

The young guard was so anxious that he almost wanted to dig the meat out of Loulan's mouth.

Wei Yu: “…”

Loulan swallowed the last bite of meat amid the young guard's complaints, and very gracefully took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped her mouth.

"May I know your names?" Wei Yu asked.

"My name is Bai Shuyang, and my father is Bai Liancheng, a first-class official." Bai Shuyang put his hands on his hips, his face almost looking up to the sky.

Wei Yu said "Wow" in a calm tone.

Captured the second male lead alive.

In the original novel, all the male characters who have a connection to the heroine are extremely powerful. The second male lead, Bai Shuyang, is particularly powerful because the heroine said, "I want to protect the emperor and his kingdom." He instantly transforms into a war monster, ruthless and taciturn, and beats up all the surrounding countries, leading to a situation where all parties come to pay tribute.

In the end, he became the most powerful person besides the emperor.

But now, Wei Yu looked at the little guard licking the plate and couldn't connect him with the cool and awesome second male lead behind him.

"My name is Loulan."

Before Wei Yu could express his opinion on the name Loulan, Bai Shuyang interrupted him.

"You think it's a strange name too, right? I thought so too at first, but it sounds pretty nice." Bai Shuyang said.

Wei Yu said he didn't think so, but he continued with his future errand boy's words, "It sounds very nice. I seem to have heard of a country called Loulan?"

I just don’t know if it exists here, after all, novels are generally fictional.

Bai Shuyang shook his head, "Loulan Kingdom? No, I haven't heard of it."

"That's probably because I remembered it wrong."

When she mentioned Loulan Kingdom, the smile on Loulan's lips froze slightly, but no one present noticed.

"Miss Wei..." Bai Shuyang spoke awkwardly.

"Just call me Wei Yu."

Bai Shuyang enthusiastically asked Wei Yu for some barbecue tips. Wei Yu did not hide anything and told him clearly the spices needed to marinate the meat and how to barbecue.

Bai Shuyang said that he had learned it and would show off his skills to his family when he got home from work.

Wei Yu looked regretful, "But if you want to grill, you have to use cumin, but we don't have it in the palace."

"Cumin? Isn't that a medicinal herb? Put it in barbecue?" Bai Shuyang wore a mask of pain and shook his head frantically. "I think what you cooked today is delicious."

"I have a way to make it delicious." Wei Yu said confidently.

Bai Shuyang was a little hesitant. "I'll go back and ask Mr. Xiao for some. I'll bring it to you in the palace tomorrow. Don't lie to me. Mr. Xiao really wants those cumin seeds."

Old Xiao is a doctor hired by the Bai family. He is very disrespectful to his elders and asks Bai Shuyang to test medicine for him every day. Bai Shuyang is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees Old Xiao.

But for the sake of food, he was ready to take a risk, to steal, no, to borrow some, and wait until Mr. Xiao fell asleep.

"Isn't it available on the market?" Wei Yu asked.

"How is that possible? Cumin isn't originally from our Central Plains. Most of the ones that come in are in medical clinics."

Wei Yu didn't expect that cumin would be such a precious commodity in this era.

Loulan suddenly spoke up, "I have some ziran here."

He pulled a small paper packet from his sleeve, opened it and found a pinch of cumin inside.

Wei Yu smelled it and asked, and it was indeed Ziran Benran.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you what the ultimate barbecue flavor is."

Wei Yu crushed the cumin and sprinkled cumin powder on the meat when it was almost cooked. The aroma of the cumin was immediately released, and the whole yard was filled with the smell of cumin and meat.

Bai Shuyang was clinging to the door with a ferocious expression. If Loulan hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed in.

"Is it cooked? It must be cooked. Give it to me quickly, let me try it." He looked like he had been hungry for several days.

Yinsheng, taking advantage of his proximity, became the first person to taste the cumin barbecue. "This is so delicious."

"Give it to me, give it to me, quickly~~" Bai Shuyang yelled outside the door.

Loulan covered his mouth and controlled him to prevent him from running in.

Seeing this, Wei Yu hurried over and stuffed the skewers into Bai Shuyang's hands.

too frightening.

The crazy second male lead turns out to be a foodie.

Bai Shuyang finished the skewers in his hand in just two or three bites, holding the bamboo sticks with both hands very devoutly, and exclaimed: "It's so delicious, what kind of delicacy is this~~ I'm so moved..."

Wei Yu: “…”

Loulan took a bite of meat and then stopped, looking at the skewers in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

"Don't you like it?" Wei Yu asked.

When Bai Shuyang heard this, he turned around and tried to snatch the skewers from Loulan's hand, but Loulan dodged it.

"Since you don't like it, just give it to me."

Loulan looked at the skewers in her hand and said, "I don't dislike it, but I didn't expect cumin to have this use."

"You need cumin, right? I know where you can buy it. I can bring it to the palace for you." Loulan offered to help.

Wei Yu was more than happy to accept this. "Thank you."

"I'm really embarrassed to say this. You know, I'm no longer the queen, and I'm a little short on cash," Wei Yu said, making a Korean man's defensive gesture. "Just buy me half a tael of silver."

Lou Lan shook her head. "No need for money. I'll bring it in for you."

The cumin here seems to be very expensive, and Wei Yu feels embarrassed to let others spend money.

Loulan turned around and returned to his post, and Wei Yu had no choice but to take the half tael of silver.

"I can also help you buy things. It doesn't require money. My family has plenty of silver, gold, beads and gems." Bai Shuyang said.

"Let's be friends, rich man."

Friends equal Wei Yu, Wei Yu equals food, making friends with Wei Yu equals having lots of delicious food in the future. When Bai Shuyang heard that Wei Yu wanted to be friends with him, he automatically ignored the word "tycoon".

"From now on, I will protect you in the capital." Bai Shuyang said arrogantly.

Wei Yu really wanted to know what this naive foodie had experienced to evolve into a god of war who would kill any god or Buddha he met.

Wei Yu asked Bai Shuyang to bring in some vegetable seeds for her. She planned to open a vegetable garden in Chengming Palace to grow vegetables and potatoes.

Otherwise, the food in the cellar would be gone and they would starve to death.
