A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 396 Barbecue

Compared to Tang Qianqian, Bai Ruyan's smile was more captivating. "I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine!"

Then everyone burst into laughter, and just like that, the wonderful day came to a quick end.

"Sisters, the weather is nice today! Does anyone have any plans?" Mao Mao asked demurely after breakfast.

"Ask the eldest sister, she's the boss, she makes the decisions." Bai Xue entrusted this important decision to Bai He, and everyone's expectant gaze was fixed on Bai He's face.

Lily held up a box of chewing gum, shook it, and said, "Chew it after meals for healthier teeth!"

"..." Everyone fainted instantly.

"Judging from your expressions, am I right?" Lily asked calmly.

"That's right," everyone answered in unison.

“You can do it then,” Baili said matter-of-factly.

Li Wei leaned closer to her, grinned, and asked, "Sister Lily, what's the event?"

Lily shook her head and smiled, saying, "Alright, alright, I really can't stand you guys. Since the weather's so nice today, I'll give you a day off!"

"Wow!" Everyone immediately crowded around excitedly.

Lily smiled and said, "I've given you the leave, but you still need to provide the activities. Okay, everyone can share your opinions and good ideas for everyone to choose from."

"I want to go shopping," Mao Mao was the first to speak.

“No interest, it’s too boring. I don’t want to waste such a beautiful day.” Zhang Xiuli was the first to object.

“Exactly, we can go shopping anytime we want,” Fangfang was the second to object.

"How was the sea trip?" Li Wei asked.

"Tch, haven't you learned your lesson from last time?" Zhang Xiuli rolled her eyes and immediately objected.

“Exactly, I don’t want to be scared to death if we encounter a ‘ghost ship’ or something.” Tang Qianqian also voted against it.

"I heard that the S City Water Park for Children opened today. Shall we go check it out?" Bai Xue was the third to offer her opinion.

"Come on, we're not three-year-olds. Going to a place like that is so tasteless!" Bai Ruyan immediately objected.

"Sisters, how about we go have a barbecue in the wild?" Fangfang suggested.

"I've been thinking about this too, but I don't know where to go with it." Lily didn't agree with Fangfang's idea, but she didn't object either.

"Of course there is! Isn't there a small island up ahead? That place is great. It doesn't pollute the environment, and you can get natural materials. It's a win-win situation."

As soon as Fangfang finished speaking, Tang Qianqian chimed in: "I think Fangfang's idea is good. It's about self-reliance and also allows everyone to utilize their strengths."

Lily made the final decision: "Let's go for a barbecue!"

"Agreed." The others all passed.

"Mao Mao, I'm entrusting this arduous task of procurement to you." Tang Qianqian smiled and put her hand on Mao Mao's shoulder.

"Why me?" It's not that Mao Mao is unwilling to serve everyone, but rather, with so many people, why did Qian Qian choose to send only me?

The strategist's arrangement must have its reasons, and the others naturally thought so.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to go shopping? Then let's go to the farmers' market instead!" Tang Qianqian implied, "I agree with your previous idea," to avoid hurting her young heart.

“I agree.” Li Wei raised his hand to vote, then looked at Mao Mao with a raised eyebrow, expressing deep sympathy.

"Wei, you go too." Tang Qianqian caught Li Wei's eye and took advantage of it.

"Huh?" Li Wei was taken aback for a moment and said, "But I've never bought groceries before!"

"Just because you've never bought groceries before doesn't mean you don't know how. It's okay, just buy based on your gut feeling," Tang Qianqian said calmly.

“That makes sense! Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run, right? Wei, this is a challenging and arduous task!” Bai Ruyan deeply admired Tang Qianqian’s choice.

"Don't gloat, you should go too," Tang Qianqian said, glancing at Bai Ruyan.

"Ah?" Bai Ruyan exclaimed in surprise.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" The others burst into laughter.

Tang Qianqian glanced at everyone with a calm and indifferent gaze, and then said lightly, "Xiuli, don't laugh, you come along too."

"No way? They're all laughing! Why me?" Zhang Xiuli immediately objected with a glare. Laughing is wrong? Is there any justice in this world? Besides, everyone else was laughing.

"Because you know the most about seafood and are the most particular about it, if you don't go, who will?" Tang Qianqian retorted.

“But you’re not much worse!” Zhang Xiuli retorted.

"Have you ever seen a strategist personally lead troops into battle?" Tang Qianqian reassured her, making her objection ineffective.

"Alright, alright, what can I do? You're the strategist! I'll obey."

Tang Qianqian immediately gave her a kind look that said, "Good girl, you're so obedient," and then said, "Mao Mao, Ru Yan, Wei, Xiuli, the problem of everyone's food and clothing is now entirely in your hands. Remember, while you're buying food, don't forget to buy all the barbecue equipment. As the saying goes, 'An army cannot march without supplies.' Alright, then carry out the order!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Mao and the other three girls exchanged glances, then performed a courtly salute, like a palace maid greeting the master: "Yes, ma'am!"

After Mao Mao and the others left, Tang Qianqian continued, "Alright, I'm now assigning the next tasks. No one may object, and any objection will be invalid. Fangfang, Ruyu, Yunxia, ​​and Baixue, the technical job of barbecuing is yours."

"Qian, are you sure you want to entrust this heavy responsibility to us?" Baixue asked incredulously.

"And what do you think?" Tang Qianqian asked in return.

"Oh, okay! I have no objection, but I'm just worried that you'll run away after seeing what we bake." Bai Xue put on an indifferent look.

"It's alright, with the strategist here, what are you worried about?" Lily said with a deliberate smile.

Tang Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "Sister Baihe, then give the orders!"

Lily nodded, then waved her hand: "Let's go!"

With such a clear division of labor, the "barbecue plan" proceeded smoothly...

In the West Sea, less than two kilometers from the land, there is an island about two kilometers long and one kilometer wide. The island is covered with lush vegetation and is home to many common animals, such as wild rabbits and wild goats.

Surrounding the island is a beach. Roll up your trousers, walk barefoot on the soft sand, and bask in the warm sunshine. The feeling is simply amazing!

"Fangfang, Wei and the others won't be here anytime soon, so you and Yunxia will have to do the work of gathering some dry firewood to start a fire." Tang Qianqian gave the order, once again acting as a competent strategist.
