By the time Lu Xiao and Ares came out after choosing their room, the villa staff had already delivered the ingredients they needed.
Just as Teacher Ai Li had said, all the ingredients were pre-prepped and clean.
This would save them a lot of time.
Even so, Lu Xiao prepared the hotpot soup base and barbecue seasonings herself. She was worried the ones provided by the villa would taste strange.
After all, she'd eaten plenty of strange-tasting food in her life and had no desire to try any more.
While Lu Xiao was busy, Ares helped at her side. Seeing this, the others also pitched in where they could, and the atmosphere quickly grew lively.
Besides, the whole point of a cookout like this was to have fun doing things yourself.
An awning was set up in the yard, so as they sat down to eat, they didn't have to worry about a sudden downpour.
Since the ingredients were already prepped and cleaned, they didn't have to do much work, and the preparation was over in no time.
