After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

The war between Northern Qi and Great Zhou became increasingly fierce, and the people were living in dire straits, with many of them being homeless. No army dared to enter the Bailan Village, which could be said to be a paradise in the troubled times.

Nan Rongxi had a new idea today, which was to have a BBQ.

Nan Rongxi prepared a barbecue in the spacious courtyard. She was wearing a blue shirt, the hem of which fluttered gently with her movements, revealing a chic temperament. Her eyes were focused and deep, as if she was performing an important ritual.

Nan Rongxi first picked out a few pieces of fat and lean meat from the side. These pieces of meat were carefully selected by her. The meat was tender and the texture was clear.

She used the knife in her hand to gently scrape away the impurities on the meat, her movements skillful and gentle, as if she was treating a precious work of art.

Then, she took a thin wooden stick and skewered the pieces of meat one by one. Her technique was steady and powerful, and each piece of meat was skillfully fixed on the wooden stick without falling off or appearing too crowded.

Youyue walked to the charcoal fire, squatted down, and gently poked the charcoal fire with tongs. She focused on observing the burning of the charcoal fire, and occasionally added some new charcoal blocks to ensure that the fire was just right. Under her control, the charcoal fire made crackling sounds.

When the charcoal fire was burning vigorously, Nan Rongxi placed the skewered meat on the charcoal fire. She carefully turned the skewers over to ensure that each side was evenly heated. The firelight reflected on her face, reflecting her determined eyes and serious expression.

During the barbecue process, Nan Rongxi sprinkled some special spices and seasonings from time to time. These spices were carefully prepared by her, which not only have a strong aroma but also enhance the taste of the barbecue. She sprinkled them evenly and in the right amount, making the barbecue taste even better.

As the charcoal fire burns and the spices penetrate, the barbecue gradually exudes an enticing aroma.

Youyue was wearing a light pink long skirt, the hem of which swayed in the wind. She sat next to Nan Rongxi.

"Master Nan Rong, you are truly a culinary genius. You can even think of such a cooking method!" Youyue watched Nan Rongxi skillfully flipping the barbecue over the charcoal fire, her eyes full of admiration.

Nan Rongxi smiled slightly when he heard this, with a confident light in his eyes: "Youyue, follow me, there will be more delicious food in the future!"

Youyue smiled slightly after hearing this, and handed Nan Rongxi some fresh vegetables or seasonings from time to time. The two cooperated well, as if they were performing a silent dance.

As the aroma of the barbecue grew stronger, the two became more cheerful. Nan Rongxi would tell some interesting stories, making Youyue laugh, while Youyue would share some interesting stories about the war.

The sound of their conversation and the aroma of barbecue intertwined together, as if forming a beautiful piece of music.

When the barbecue was finally done, Nan Rongxi handed it to Youyue, her eyes sparkled with anticipation. Youyue took the barbecue and took a bite. Suddenly, the aroma and deliciousness filled her mouth, making her close her eyes, as if intoxicated by this wonderful taste experience.

After eating the barbecue, the two of them lay contentedly on the chairs, feeling the breeze on their faces. They were in a particularly happy mood, as if all their fatigue had disappeared at this moment, and they fell asleep all of a sudden.

However, they forgot that the charcoal fire next to them had not yet completely gone out. The flames kept flickering, like a sleeping beast that could wake up at any time.

Soon, a breeze blew, and the charcoal fire suddenly jumped up, sparks flew, and directly set the toilet next to it on fire.

The sudden feeling of heat woke Nan Rongxi and Youyue up suddenly. They looked at the fire in front of them in horror, and this scene was also discovered by the surrounding villagers.

At once, hurried footsteps could be heard in the courtyard. Villagers came from all directions, some holding buckets, some holding shovels, their faces full of tension and concern.

"Quick, put out the fire!" Nan Rongxi shouted loudly. She had already started pouring water to try to control the fire. Youyue also hurriedly took action. She helped pass the bucket and fought side by side with Nan Rongxi.

The villagers quickly formed a circle. Some of them were responsible for watering, some were responsible for clearing the surrounding flammable materials, and others were responsible for observing the changes in the fire.

The firelight shone on the faces of the villagers, and their sweat sparkled in the firelight. Although the fire was fierce, there was no thought of retreating in their hearts.

After some efforts, the fire was finally brought under control. The villagers were exhausted and panting, but they had relieved smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, everyone. It's all thanks to you!" Nan Rongxi said gratefully. Youyue also thanked the villagers again and again.

The villagers waved their hands, indicating that this was what they should do.

Nan Rongxi also looked helpless; this was the second time she had burned the house down while baking something.

At this time, Uncle Liao walked out of the crowd and said slowly: "Village Chief Nanrong, I have something to report to you. I don't know why, but for several nights recently, my sow has been making strange noises, as if it was frightened. I thought there was some wild animal approaching, but after checking several times, I didn't find anything unusual."

Nan Rongxi was surprised when she heard this: "Is there such a thing?! This is really strange. Sows usually don't cry for no reason."

At this time, Aunt Zhang San also came out. She said with a serious face: "Village Chief Nanrong, I have something to tell you. Recently, there has been a lack of corn in our corn field. At first I thought it was blown down by the wind, but later I found that some of the corn stalks were broken. It was obvious that they were stolen."

Uncle Zhang also agreed, "Yes, yes! Sometimes my dog ​​Wangcai's dog food disappears inexplicably. Someone must have stolen it!"

As Aunt Zhang San and Uncle Zhang Er spoke, other villagers also began to talk about it. Everyone said that they had encountered similar situations, such as a few eggs missing from their homes, the vegetables in the vegetable garden being picked away, etc.

Nan Rongxi realized that there was a thief in the Bailan Village. His face darkened and he said, "It seems that there is indeed someone in our village who is doing these sneaky things. We will find this person as soon as possible."

She turned to Youyue and said, "Youyue, come with me to investigate this matter and see if we can find any clues."

Villager: Brother, don’t you have a system? Just log in!

"Master Nanrong, it may be difficult to investigate this matter, so we need to think about it carefully!"

Obviously, Youyue was hinting at Nan Rongxi to use the system.

"Okay! Okay!" Nan Rongxi seemed to be thinking about something.

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, Tongzi, is there any melon in here, especially the melon that the old sow is screaming about! ]
