Chapter 279 It turns out my daughter has better taste than me

At dusk, the setting sun sinks toward the horizon. The half of the sun that is still exposed dyes the clouds in the west red. The green maple leaves on both sides of the road are rustled by the breeze. This is a peaceful moment unique to a small city.

After the two of them got everything ready in the kitchen, Xu Ye called Wang Manning and Wang Yuxin to move everything to the yard.

After setting up the barbecue grill and lighting the smokeless charcoal, Xu Ye sat nearby and waited leisurely for the charcoal to burn red.

After Jiang Meilin brought a few glasses of lemonade with ice, she also sat down next to them.

There was rarely such a lively time at home. When she was at the company, Jiang Meilin was busy and had no time for leisure and entertainment. When she got home, she stayed at home almost all day long and had to deal with emails from the company.

When she was young, she thought it was good to be alone.

But now, she prefers to be more lively. Even if she can't participate in the young people's topics, Jiang Meilin will feel happy when she sees their smiling faces when they talk.

When Chen Qingqing saw her mother smiling, she also gave Xu Ye a wild wink. Xu Ye could only take out his phone, take a photo of the barbecue grill, and send it directly to Chen Hansong.

After Chen Hansong received the picture, he quickly zoomed in and looked at it.

He could tell at a glance that Xu Ye was in the courtyard of Hongye Villa. Chen Hansong stood up quickly, preparing to grab the car keys and rush over.

But Xu Ye's second message immediately followed.

"Bring a few bottles of drinks along the way."

Chen Hansong replied neatly and went out immediately.

After Xu Ye finished sending the message, he gave Chen Qingqing an OK look. Chen Qingqing nodded, pointed at the charcoal in the grill and said, "Is it ready?"

Xu Ye stood up, took a look, and said with a smile, "Look, Chef Xu is about to take action."

"Cut~"

Xu Ye expertly brushed oil on the iron mesh on the barbecue grill to prevent the meat from sticking to the iron mesh when grilling later.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ye grabbed a large handful of pork belly skewers and spread them evenly on the barbecue rack.

If you eat barbecue outside, there is only a little bit of meat on each bamboo stick, but if you make it at home, you can make as many portions as you want. And the biggest advantage is that it is much more hygienic if you make it at home.

The charcoal was already burning red, and not long after the meat skewers were put on, oil began to sizzle out.

Xu Ye took a brush and evenly spread the oil while applying barbecue ingredients. The aroma of barbecue suddenly filled the yard.

Wang Manning and Wang Yuxin stood opposite Xu Ye, looking at the barbecue that was about to be cooked, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

“It smells so good~”

In full view of everyone, Xu Ye picked up a skewer of barbecued meat, cooled it slightly with his mouth, then handed it to Chen Qingqing's mouth and said, "Try the taste."

Chen Qingqing wrinkled her little nose: "Do you treat me as a guinea pig?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Believe me."

Chen Qingqing then stepped forward and bit off a small piece of meat. She chewed it a few times and immediately said in surprise: "It's delicious."

Xu Ye quickly took the meat skewers off the grill, placed them on a plate aside, and then brought them to Jiang Meilin.

"Let them eat first."

"It's okay. Auntie, please try it first. There will be more later."

Jiang Meilin then reached out to take it, but after picking up a bunch, she still called Wang Manning and Wang Yuxin over, and Xu Ye also returned to his post and continued to be a barbecue master.

Chen Qingqing took the washed enoki mushrooms and asked, "How do you bake this?"

"There is a plywood, just hold it up and bake it. This will cook very quickly."

"Then I want to eat this."

"Wait, little greedy cat, it will be ready soon."

About ten minutes later, Chen Hansong drove over.

He heard laughter in the yard at the door, and found that the door was not completely locked, so he reached out and pushed the door open.

When people in the yard saw someone coming, they all raised their heads and looked at Chen Hansong.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qingqing quickly introduced: "He is my dad."

Only then did Wang Manning and Wang Yuxin say hello, uncle.

"Hello." Chen Hansong walked over. When Jiang Meilin saw two bottles of drinks in his hand, she knew it must be Xu Ye or Chen Qingqing who called him. Jiang Meilin didn't want to break the peaceful atmosphere, so For the first time, he didn't say anything, and even gave a simple instruction: "Go inside and get some cups."

Chen Hansong didn't mention how obedient he was, he just left without hesitation.

After the sun went down, the sky got dark.

However, the street lights in the community are very bright, and there are also several downlights installed on the ground in the courtyard, which make the environment of the courtyard very elegant.

Xu Ye, who was standing next to the barbecue grill, was also sweating. Every few minutes, he had to wipe the sweat with his hands. There was too much sweat in the back, so Xu Ye directly called Chen Qingqing and asked her to help. Wipe the sweat yourself.

When Chen Hansong saw this scene, he felt jealous to death.

My precious daughter has never wiped her own sweat like this.

This kid is so happy!

Chen Hansong, who couldn't stand it anymore, silently turned his eyes away, but soon fell on Jiang Meilin's face again.

Jiang Meilin enjoyed the leisurely and happy time. Unlike Chen Hansong, when she saw her daughter wiping Xu Ye's sweat, she found the scene very warm, and naturally had a light smile on her face.

Chen Hansong rarely saw Jiang Meilin smile, so at this moment, he was already stunned.

Until...

"What are you looking at! Is there something on my face?" Jiang Meilin asked immediately after she found that Chen Hansong had been staring at her.

Chen Hansong, who was respected by everyone in the bank, could only weakly reply at this moment: "I didn't see anything."

Xu Ye was almost speechless.

He thought, if he were Chen Hansong, he would definitely reply at this time: "Yes, there is something on your face."

Chen Hansong, Chen Hansong, you deserve to be single now.

Xu Ye saw that there were still a lot of skewers left on the table, so he took a break, eating skewers and drinking cola with ice cubes, not to mention how comfortable it was.

"Xiao Xu, how is the movie you invested in now?" Jiang Meilin asked proactively.

"The release time has been extended. According to current forecasts, the box office may be close to 1 billion."

"1 billion?"

Chen Hansong asked in surprise: "How much can you earn from this investment?"

"Uh..."

Xu Ye glanced at Wang Manning and Wang Yuxin, and then replied: "About 30 million."

"So much?!"

Xu Ye nodded and said: "I didn't expect the market response to be so good, but with this money, the company will be able to develop more business in the future."

Wang Manning was stunned when she heard this. After she heard Xu Ye's words, she asked: "Cousin, you... earned 30 million?!"

"Keep it a secret for me for the time being, don't cause me trouble."

Hearing Xu Ye say this, Jiang Meilin regretted it a little. She thought Xu Ye's family should have known about this, but Xu Ye had been hiding it. If Jiang Meilin had known it earlier, she would not have asked this question in front of Wang Manning and Wang Yuxin.

But think about it the other way around, after making so much money, she can still hold back from showing off. Few people as old as Xu Ye can do that.

Thinking of this, Jiang Meilin suddenly laughed again.

It turns out that my daughter has better vision than me.
