The birds roasted over the fire. Everyone gathered around, turning the grilling rack from time to time.
It was taking a while, and the meat wasn't ready yet, so everyone was getting a little hungry.
Luckily, when Shen Baoying had been making sticky rice earlier, she'd set some aside and used it to make sticky rice cakes for everyone.
The soft, sweet, and chewy rice cakes tasted like the most wonderful thing on earth.
Everyone had one and immediately wanted another.
But since the main course hadn't been served yet, everyone restrained themselves so they would have enough room to eat their fill later. They all stopped after just one.
Since Jiang Si was pregnant, Shen Baoying gave her special treatment, preparing a dedicated bowl of bird's nest soup for her.
As Jiang Si ate her soup, the birds on the rack finally began to SIZZLE, releasing a tempting aroma.
Shen Baoying asked, "Who here can eat spicy food?"
Everyone raised their hands, Jiang Si included.
