Chapter 257 Nighttime Barbecue Party

Little Loneliness is a bit withdrawn; she realizes that among this group of people, she's probably the least...

"What are you still standing here for? Go pick out what you want to eat."

Uchiha Ryo stood beside Xiao Gudu, urging him to go to the warehouse to select ingredients.

"Can...can I do it too?"

Uchiha Ryo sighed, "You really are... You're right here next to me now, whatever I pick, you can take it."

Goto Ichiri nodded blindly, then followed Uchiha Ryo toward the seafood section.

"Oh, bluefin tuna, and it's fresh from yesterday's restock... We should eat this soon."

"And Australian lobster, as expected of the Shinomiya family. Shinomiya Un'taka is quite capable. Also, grab some king crab and abalone..."

The little lonely figure behind him took the bags of tuna, lobster, and king crab.

Ah... I heard online that fresh bluefin tuna costs close to a million yen, plus lobster and crab...

"My new guitar only cost 100,000 yen..."

Hearing Xiao Gudu's mutterings, Uchiha Ryo suddenly leaned closer and said, "Adding the A5 grade Wagyu beef we chose over there, this meal will cost about four or five hundred thousand yen per person. Will Xiao Gudu pay?"

"I...I can't pay."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head and suddenly heard a whisper that sounded like a demon's.

"No money? Then let's settle the debt with something important~ like Little Lonely's..."

Hayasaka Ai suddenly appeared on the other side of Little Lonely, took the tuna from her hand, and incidentally kept it away from a certain evil Uchiha.

"Don't bully Little Lonely! And why did you believe him? This meal is completely free! All the ingredients were provided by the Shinomiya family; you don't need to pay!"

Goto Ichiri: "Really?"

Hayasaka Ai: "Of course it's... fake. We've already agreed to sell you to Aya later, and then Aya will pay for it."

Little Lonely stood there blankly... and was then pulled away by Fujiwara Chika, who couldn't stand Uchiha Ryo and Hayasaka Ai teaming up to deceive the reclusive girl.

Ever since Fujiwara Chika learned about Kotori's social anxiety, this social terrorist has decided to save this beautiful pink-haired girl!

But how exactly to save him...? Should I take the little lonely one out to play? Maybe to a crowded place, or play the super realistic Monopoly game made by the board game club in public.

After selecting the food, the girls' cooking team took over the task of preparing the ingredients, while the boys were responsible for assembling the barbecue grill and starting the fire in the open space in front of the villa.

With everything ready, the nighttime barbecue party officially begins!

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. After a hard day's work, Chef Ling finally tasted the perfect medium-rare steak.

Some people may not understand the proper doneness of steak. They may think that raw meat can't taste good, but well-done steak, although firm, has no juice at all, and it will lose the aroma of melted fat and denatured protein if cooked for too long.

Therefore, if it's your first time eating steak, I suggest trying medium-rare first. If you find it acceptable, then try medium-rare or rare.

Shirogane Miyuki: "Um, I don't know anything about this, just grill it casually..."

Yu Ishigami shook his head. "Shirogane-senpai, eating steak is not like regular barbecue—it's elegant! And timeless."

As the ancients said, I only eat steak cooked to medium-rare (0.01 minutes). When the first rays of sunlight fall on the cow in the morning, that is my mealtime.

Everyone else took turns trying to grill the meat, but only Uchiha Ryo and Shirogane Miyuki remained standing in front of the grill.

This is a delicious A5 grade Wagyu beef, and both Uchiha Ryo and Shirogane are enjoying the feeling of grilling meat.

Each steak's marbling resembles a work of art meticulously crafted by a master craftsman. Once placed on the grill, the dripping juices and overflowing aroma put even the finest perfumes to shame.

Premium pork belly and tenderloin, tripe, freshly cut tuna, prepared lobster, and crab.

Hiratsuka Shizuka took a sip of her cola, "Burp... It's been so great coming out with you guys. This kind of food would cost me several months' salary for just one meal..."

Kaguya Shinomiya smiled and said, "Although it's high-grade beef, it can get greasy if you eat it all the time. You can also try fresh organic vegetables."

Organic lettuce, still glistening with dew, is wrapped around freshly grilled pork belly. The first bite is like the crispness of an apple and the sweetness of fruit, and after repeated chewing...

The refreshing sweetness of the lettuce further enhances the sweetness of the meat, while the beef fat makes the lettuce even more refreshing.

On the other side, Yukinoshita patted Shirasaki Hana, who was choking on her food. "Hana and Rumi, you two, eat slowly. There's still plenty of food, no need to eat so fast."

Xiaohua nodded, then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka across from her, who looked like a reincarnated starving ghost.

Yukinoshita: "You can't become unreliable adults!"

Shirasaki Hana: "Oh... okay~"

Rumi Tsurumi: "Hmm! I won't."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had just swallowed the roasted meat with a cola, murmured, "Huh???"

After finishing the barbecue, Uchiha Ryo began to enjoy the tuna he had personally selected.

Pick up a thin slice of fish with chopsticks. The fat attached to the meat is no less than that of Wagyu beef brisket. The elastic texture and rich flavor slowly spread in your mouth.

This is the finest delicacy from the ocean. Yanyunjiang had already pounced on the tuna without her noticing. She felt so happy!

Pick up the Australian lobster, which has been grilled to a bright red color, and gently pull off the shell with your other hand. The white and translucent lobster meat looks crystal clear, and when dipped in the prepared sauce, the fresh, tender and smooth taste is simply irresistible.

"call--"

He pulled a bottle of Coke from the mini-fridge and took a big gulp while eating the barbecue he had just eaten.

The icy cola flowed down my throat and into my stomach, the refreshing carbonation constantly stimulating my whole body, as if my cells were jumping around with the bubbles.

"Speaking of which, what were you guys talking about just now?"

Uchiha Ryo suddenly remembered the conversation the group of girls had just had in the living room; they seemed to be planning to play some challenging game.

Seeing that everyone else was enjoying their food, Yukino put down her chopsticks and said helplessly.

"It's because Ms. Hiratsuka asked Hana to come up with a game, and Hana thought of the deserted island survival game that she used to play with her classmates."

"It was originally just a group of kids pretending to be stranded on a deserted island, just for show, but then Hiratsuka-sensei suggested... let's do it for real."

After Yukino finished speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly took over the conversation.

"I think it's great. For example, if there are only three days' worth of ingredients left in the warehouse, we have to go to the forest or the ocean to find them for the remaining three days. That's quite challenging."

Kaguya Shinomiya: "Even if the ingredients outside the warehouse are very fresh, who knows if there are any germs? For safety's sake, let's skip this kind of game."

Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled, "There's a way to solve this. For example, if you find a kilogram of ingredients today, you can pile them up in the warehouse and then take a kilogram from there yourself."

Ingredient exchange! Of course, this only applies to exchanging meat for meat and vegetables for vegetables.

Uchiha Ryo: "Um... Hiratsuka-sensei, after such a sumptuous barbecue, do you still want to play this game? What if we can't find enough ingredients? You'll just be staring at the delicious abalone and lobster every day..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka fell into deep thought. She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to let these young masters and ladies experience the hardships of reality, but should she also get herself involved?
