Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

When everyone saw that all the wild boars had fallen to the ground and confirmed that there was no danger, they all came forward to watch curiously.

Wild boars have thick, tough skin and incredible fighting power. Even the most craving for meat, most people wouldn't dare to provoke them. Country folk might occasionally see wild boars, but for these pampered city dwellers, wild boars existed only in conversations. The girls would curiously gather around and examine the wild boars on the ground, as if they were seeing something truly special.

Qiu Shizao's round little face was full of surprise. She pointed at the wild boar's fangs and said, "It turns out that wild boars have such long fangs and look so ugly." There was a hint of childishness and surprise in her tone.

Chen Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard her words. She had seen the big fat pigs raised on the farm and was very familiar with their appearance. She patted Qiu Shizao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Sister Shizao, even domestic pigs are not much better looking, let alone wild boars from the mountains."

Her words caused a burst of laughter from the people around her, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

Ji Nuan stared at the dozen or so wild boars lying on the ground before her, wondering what to do with them. She asked around if anyone wanted the meat. However, everyone felt that since Ji Nuan had hunted all the boars alone, she should have them all. Furthermore, the strong smell of wild boar made it difficult to handle, and since they had plenty of meat at home, they all waved their hands in disapproval.

Seeing that no one wanted the wild boar meat, Ji Nuan ordered Ma Duo to unload a carriage and rode to a nearby small farm that he had just taken over to call some people to help deal with the wild boars.

She planned to keep a half-grown wild boar for lunch, give the rest to each of the several farms, and send the rest back to Taohua Village. The workers in the soap, pastry, and embroidery workshops had been working overtime lately. As the employer, she couldn't forget the hard work of those who worked for her. So, Ji Nuan decided to share some of the wild boar meat with the workers as a welfare benefit.

Feng Ji took a few people to process the prey, and Ji Wei taught Zhong Heming and others how to prepare bamboo sticks.

Others were not idle either. Some were busy fetching water, some were collecting firewood. The whole autumn outing activity was busy and orderly, and everyone was immersed in the joy of enjoying the delicious food.

Just as the sun was setting, Feng Ji and his team returned with their cleaned prey. Everyone immediately gathered together and divided the work: some were responsible for cutting the meat into evenly sized pieces, while others were responsible for skewering the meat, carefully threading the cut pieces onto bamboo skewers.

With the grilling ingredients provided by Ji Nuan, Wang Yunshan, a master of barbecue, was in her element, bringing her skills to full fruition. She expertly brushed the seasoning on the skewers and flipped them, ensuring each side was evenly cooked and thoroughly seasoned. As the skewers sizzled over the charcoal, the alluring aroma spread, leaving everyone salivating.

"Okay, okay, everyone try it and see how it tastes." Wang Yunshan grabbed a handful of steaming, freshly grilled meat skewers in one hand and handed them to everyone like offering a treasure.

Chen Rong quickly took it and shared it with the others, then eagerly took a bite of the one reserved for herself. Her eyes lit up instantly, "Wow, this is amazing! Yunshan's cooking skills are incredible. If she opened a barbecue shop, it would definitely be packed with customers and do a booming business!"

Wang Yunshan couldn't stop smiling when she heard the compliment. "No, no, I still need Sister Nuannuan's barbecue ingredients, otherwise I can't get this taste. This barbecue ingredient is the key!"

Chen Rong immediately came up with an idea when she heard it. She turned to Ji Nuan and said, "Sister Nuannuan, do you still have this barbecue sauce? Can you share some with me? I want to go home and grill it for my mother to try. I'm sure she'll like it too."

Ji Nuan was enjoying her meal when she heard Chen Rong asking for barbecue ingredients. She said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll pack some for you later."

"Sister Nuannuan~" Qiu Shizao blinked and looked at Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan received the pleading look and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, your share won't be missing. I'll prepare some for each of you later, so you can all barbecue for your elders when you go back."

Qiu Shizao immediately smiled, like a blooming flower: "Thank you, Sister Nuannuan, you are the best!"

Across from him, Ji Chuan was casually chatting with Fu Jiangzhou while grilling meat.

"How about it? Don't you think going out for a walk can open your mind a lot more than staying at home with your head buried in books?"

Fu Jiangzhou's eyes moved around, looking at the girls talking and laughing opposite him, and the children playing and fighting nearby, and unconsciously the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Ji."

Ji Chuan smiled and handed him a skewer of meat.
