After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Starting a fire and cooking in the wild isn't easy, but they had quite a bit of camping experience, so they did it pretty quickly.

Since the ingredients had already been prepared on the way, it was basically just a matter of putting them over a fire.

Logically, stews would be a better choice at this time of year, but since the weather is quite hot during the day, there's not much need for that. Just make a decent soup, and the rest can be grilled or stir-fried.

Because there are children around, I need to prepare some easily digestible dishes.

They didn't prepare much of this in the car, but they replenished their supplies when they stopped yesterday, so it's fine.

"Let's make a plate of mixed grilled meat first..." Sheng Hanyu muttered, placing the grill pan on the fire.

They deliberately cut the food into smaller pieces, and didn't add chili peppers or skewer it. Sheng Hanyu found it quite interesting while they were preparing it.

While it's said that bringing children along won't cause much trouble, it's still necessary to consider all aspects carefully.

"Shall I make the fish soup?" Ye Sanqing asked.

"Okay, let's start cooking." Sheng Hanyu nodded.

"Okay." Ye Sanqing's side is fish head tofu soup, which is naturally based on this consideration. It does not require a very long stewing time, and tofu is easy to eat, so it is a pretty decent dish.

Ye Sanqing actually thought making mala tang (a spicy hot pot dish) was a good idea, but Sheng Hanyu thought the kids couldn't eat spicy food... well, that's fine too.

She knew that it would be difficult for children to eat hot pot, but she didn't expect that even something like mala tang, which is essentially a pre-cooked hot pot, wouldn't work.

However, eating hot pot outdoors is a bit absurd, unless it's a canned food that can be heated directly and vegetables can be added, otherwise it's really strange.

Mixed grilled meat is still the best choice.

Ye Sanqing fried the fish head, made soup, and then looked at Sheng Hanyu's side.

The meat is almost done grilling; it seems the grilling process is quite fast. This time, he's not so concerned about the texture.

"And then?" Ye Sanqing asked.

"This meat is almost done grilling, so we can set it aside now," Sheng Hanyu said, putting on oven mitts, picking up the grill pan, and placing it on the table. "We'll continue grilling it later. Let's make other dishes now."

"Okay." Ye Sanqing handed him the prepared sliced ​​meat and bamboo shoots.

“Actually, I think we could grill fish, but we don’t have any,” Sheng Hanyu said.

The fish head was specially saved from yesterday, but this isn't the only type of fish suitable for grilling.

"That depends on whether you have any success this afternoon," Ye Sanqing said with a smile.

"If we have it, we'll have grilled fish for dinner tonight."

"But I really regret that we can't add chili peppers."

While spiced grilled fish is not bad, spicy and savory is always more satisfying.

"We can make several plates of grilled fish. I'll put chili peppers on your plate," Sheng Hanyu said while turning the meat slices in the pot.

"My one plate? I only had one plate." Ye Sanqing said disappointedly.

"No...you can have as many rounds as you want, but I have to be able to catch them first."

"So you mean I still have to catch the fish myself?" Ye Sanqing was speechless; in the end, it still came down to this.

She didn't really care; she just felt that you really have to work hard to reap rewards, just like when she was on a variety show.

"Just kidding, I'll take care of it. If you need to rest, then go ahead and rest," Sheng Hanyu said.

"I don't need to rest for that long all the time," Ye Sanqing said. "I'll come out around dusk, and then we'll see how it goes."

"Well, I hope you can save the Air Force."

"You're already saying you're going to come back empty-handed before you've even started fishing?"

"If you lower your expectations, then whatever happens will be a pleasant surprise."

"That's true..."

Soon the meal was ready, and Ye Sanqing waved to Atai and the children, signaling them to come back.

Although the children were a bit noisy, they were still very sensible, and as soon as they saw food, they immediately ran back.

"Wash your hands first," Sheng Hanyu instructed the children as they returned.

"Wash your hands!" Xiaoyuan said to one of her younger sisters who was reaching for food, and then picked her up and carried her away.

"..." Ye Sanqing was speechless when he saw this.

For some reason, I thought of my eldest sister...

I wonder if she treated the others the same way when they were little.

However, there should still be someone in the Ye family helping to take care of the child, so it shouldn't be...

"Alright, sit down now. You can eat when it's time to eat!" Xiao Yuan was very methodical. She watched as her younger siblings obediently washed their hands and wiped their faces before letting them sit down one by one.

"Xiao Yuan is quite good at taking care of children," Ye Sanqing said to Xiao Yuan.

“We all need to know how to do this.” Xiaoyuan wasn’t particularly proud of being praised, but said seriously, “Mom and Dad said that as the older sister, I have to take good care of them.”

“Actually… what I’m saying might be a little inappropriate, but you can listen to my advice,” Sheng Hanyu said gently from the side.

"Hmm?" Xiaoyuan turned her head and looked at him intently.

“Sometimes you don’t have to take care of them completely,” Sheng Hanyu said.

He wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do, because Xiaoyuan clearly took her parents' words very seriously, and she had also learned about their passing yesterday, so it was somewhat inappropriate to say anything now.

But ultimately, if she didn't have a younger sister or brother, and if this weren't the case, she could be like a normal child, playing whenever she wanted and eating whenever she wanted...

Xiaoyuan lacks that carefree feeling.

Sometimes Sheng Hanyu also wanted to complain about these parents. The younger child is not the responsibility of the older one.

While it's not to say that we should completely ignore it, the absence of parents is really... indescribable.

"I know what you mean, brother. I'm just... used to it," Xiaoyuan said after searching for her words.

“You can try letting them do it themselves,” Ye Sanqing suggested.

She understood what Sheng Hanyu meant, and to be honest, letting this situation continue was not only bad for Xiaoyuan, but also for the younger children.

The most terrifying thing is if they develop the habit of "the eldest sister will handle everything"...

The burden on Xiaoyuan's shoulders will be so heavy then; it's terrifying to even think about it.

Although they would provide financial assistance and find reliable people to take care of the other person, some things cannot be solved with money.

While it can handle most of the problems, it's not complete.

"I'll try," Xiaoyuan agreed, but there was a hint of confusion in her eyes; clearly, she didn't know what to do.

Sheng Luoxin sighed from the side.

Ultimately, besides Xiaoyuan, he's probably the only one here with experience taking care of children...

"You should start by simply reminding them not to take action."
