The deer was skewered on the barbecue, roasted to a golden shine.
Qin Hao somehow produced a heap of seasonings.
He used a brush to spread a sauce-like mixture over the venison.
Then added chili powder and cumin on top.
The aroma instantly wafted around, engulfing the whole area in the scent of grilled meat.
Up in the tree, Jin Ni’Er couldn’t stop swallowing her saliva and mumbled, "Brother Kui... it smells kind of good, doesn’t it?"
"Smells good? What’s so good about the smell! It’s just a whole roasted deer!"
Jin Kui showed an annoyed expression, "Ni’Er, have you forgotten? You didn’t even care for the roast suckling pig at last year’s banquet, how could you favor this deer?"
Jin Ni’Er thought to herself, in the past, there was plenty to choose from, but now, there’s nothing. Her stomach growled, and if she doesn’t eat, she’s going to starve!
Seeing her silence, Jin Kui noted her expression and became angry, "Ni’Er, do you seriously want to eat that garbage?"
"Brother Kui, I..."
Jin Ni’Er’s tone became very timid, but the unspoken meaning was clear.
She obviously wanted to eat, really badly!
"Damn!"
Jin Kui angrily punched a branch, his stomach coincidentally grumbled too.
Upon hearing this sound, Jin Ni’Er’s expression turned peculiar, Jin Kui’s anger dissipated, replaced by embarrassment.
"Hey, are you two up there a big brother and sister?"
At this moment, Qin Hao looked up and called out, "Are your stomachs complaining? Don’t wait, come down and eat."
"I’m not..."
Jin Kui instinctively wanted to refuse sharply, but after another protest from his stomach and seeing Jin Ni’Er’s eager expression, he could only grouse and say, "Fine, let’s try your garbage food!"
As soon as he spoke, Jin Ni’Er was delighted and quickly jumped down from the tree.
Seeing this, Jin Kui almost fell in anger.
Was she that eager?
Sister, you have no pride at all!
With no choice, unable to withstand hunger, Qin Hao dutifully dismounted from the tree.
Coincidentally, the entire deer was nearly ready.
Golden oil dripped on the flames, making an enticing "sizzle" sound.
The special aroma of barbecue completely captivated the two of them.
Jin Kui and Jin Ni’Er forgot to complain and stared at the whole deer, unable to take their eyes off!
"Here, this deer leg for big brother."
Qin Hao smiled warmly, tearing off a deer leg and handing it to Jin Kui.
In a daze, Jin Kui dropped his dignified pretense and directly accepted the deer leg.
His action made Qin Hao’s smile even brighter, as he tore off another leg and handed it to Jin Ni’Er, "Here, this one is for big sister."
Jin Ni’Er eagerly took it, lightly sniffing it with her nose, revealing a delighted look, "It smells so good! Seems delicious!"
"Hmph!" Awoken by his sister’s exclamation, Jin Kui said proudly, "There’s not much seasoning on it, how can it compare to the barbecue master Grandpa invited from Xiangnan Province, his recipe is a family secret!"
"Of course, it’s no match for the master!"
Jin Ni’Er playfully stuck out her tongue and promptly took a bite of the deer leg.
"Hmph! Garbage food, I’m only eating reluctantly!"
Jin Kui said as such, also opened his mouth, biting into the deer leg, and tore off a large chunk.
He thought, due to the short time, the venison wouldn’t be very tender.
He was wrong.
The venison was perfectly tender, requiring just a gentle bite to tear through, with juice seeping out.
Just one bite, and Jin Kui’s mouth was full of oil.
Yet, he didn’t have time to wipe the oil from the corners of his mouth, his eyes widened, suddenly realizing, he opened his mouth wide and relentlessly tore into the deer leg.
The hefty leg of venison was finished in less than a minute under his chewing!
After finishing, Jin Kui couldn’t help but show an expression of admiration.
Delicious!
Absolutely delicious!
Not only was the texture perfect, but the flavor was also incredibly savory.
He’s a northerner and typically can’t handle chili, but the chili powder on this deer leg seemed to be made from sweet peppers.
With a faint sweet taste, this deer leg perfectly hit his taste buds!
At this time, Jin Ni’Er had also finished the deer leg, licking her lips and saying with longing, "It’s really good! Better than the barbecue master hired by the family! I want more!"
Seeing his sister acting spoiled like a little kitten, Jin Kui stubbornly snorted, "What’s so good, it’s just ordinary barbecue taste..."
Qin Hao heard and showed an anguished expression, "Sigh, you two grew up with fine dining, enjoying rare delicacies. My skills are not good enough to satisfy you..."
Saying this, he wrapped his hands with inner strength, grabbed the hot roasted deer, and lifted it.
"What are you doing!"
Jin Kui and Jin Ni’Er both widened their eyes, very anxious.
Qin Hao looked bitterly, "Failing to serve big brother and sister properly is my fault, I’ve decided to discard this failed attempt, bury it in the ground..."
"How could you!"
Jin Ni’Er was instantly flustered, but Qin Hao lamented, "No choice, with poor skills, it’s the only option."
"Brother!"
In desperation, Jin Ni’Er could only look at Jin Kui.
At this moment, Jin Kui was almost exploding with rage.
He knew Qin Hao was deliberately pretending to be ignorant.
If it were his old temper, he’d never stop Qin Hao.
But now, seeing his sister’s expression, he had to abandon his dignity, fully inflated with pride, said to Qin Hao, "This deer we can barely eat, don’t throw it away."
"Can’t do that." Qin Hao shook his head bitterly, "I’m a perfectionist, I won’t embarrass myself with anything less-than-good, let me roast a pheasant instead..."
"You!"
Jin Kui was furious, was Qin Hao playing stubborn now?
Seeing the situation, Jin Ni’Er quickly pleaded, "Qin Hao, brother was just joking, this venison is really delicious, the best in the world!"
"Really?" Qin Hao looked surprised.
Jin Ni’Er nodded vigorously, patting her ample chest, "I promise with my integrity..."
Seeing his sister pleading with Qin Hao, Jin Kui’s nameless anger boiled up, "Garbage food! I’d rather die than eat it! Sister, eat up as you please!"
With that, he sat heavily on the ground, leaning into the fire, turning away stubbornly.
"Brother." Jin Ni’Er tried to persuade him a few times, but Jin Kui ignored her.
With her stomach complaining, Jin Ni’Er was starving, looking at Qin Hao with pitiful eyes.
"Since Big Sister finds it tasty, have some more then."
Qin Hao returned to smiling, slicing the venison with a military knife, putting it into a bamboo bowl, and handed it to Jin Ni’Er.
He himself began to feast as well.
Jin Kui sat alone, his heart full of resentment, "Sister is really, after being raised so long, captivated by a dinner."
"After all, you’re the princess of the Jin Family! How could this be if outsiders knew?"
