Female NovelChapter 3162 Itching To stir Up Trouble
Since it was a Saturday the following day, Luca lingered in bed for a while longer before getting up.
She figured that Aunt Neile must have already bought all the ingredients needed for today, so now sheneeded to go downstairs to help.
Some ingredients needed to be marinated for a few hours to taste good when grilled.
When Luca arrived downstairs, the kids were all sitting on the couch reading.
When they saw Luca coming down, they all greeted her, Ms. Luca, you're up."
"Yes, I am. Where's your daddy?" asked Luca. When she walked out of the bedroom, she glanced atthe opposite bedroom door, which was open. However, Luke was not inside.
She slept quite deeply all night. Therefore, she had no idea when he got up.
"Daddy left early. He said he had to go back to the office to deal with something. Ms. Luca, please goand have your breakfast. Aunt Neile put a lot of things on the table. Maybe you should bring them overhere to eat," said Rainie, reminding her not to go hungry.
"Okay, I'll have breakfast first." Luca nodded and walked into the dining room. Indeed, there were manybags on the table.
"The ingredients..." As Luca muttered to herself, she looked at the table full of ingredients. She couldunderstand why Aunt Neile did this.
She remembered what she told Aunt Neile yesterday. Since a lot of people were invited to thebarbecue this time, Aunt Neile was asked to prepare more ingredients. If she found any ingredients
suitable for barbecue, she could buy them.
Anyway, if they could not finish them, they could put the ingredients in the fridge and have them thenext day. They would not be wasted.
It was just that Luca did not expect Aunt Neile to prepare so many ingredients.
However, when she thought about the people coming tonight, she felt it was right to prepare moreingredients. It was better than to let someone go hungry, right?
"Good morning, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile came out of the kitchen. She saw Luca and greeted her with asmile on her face.
"Good morning, Aunt Neile. If I had known you were going to buy so many ingredients, I would've gonewith you so I could help carry some." Luca felt a bit embarrassed when she thought about Aunt Neilecarrying so many ingredients back home alone.
There were too many bags. Did she use a small cart to haul all this?
Aunt Neile chuckled and replied, "It's okay, Mr. Crawford asked Mr. Warren to take me to the markettoday. He helped me. It was quite easy."
"Oh? I see." Luca was surprised. She did not expect Luke to have arranged everything.
"Yeah, but now I have to prepare these ingredients bit by bit, so I'll need to occupy the dining table for awhile. Ms. Craw, would you like to have breakfast in the living room later?" asked Aunt Nelle.
Since she bought so many ingredients, she had to wash and prepare them one by one. Only then couldLuca season and finally skewer them.
"Sure. No problem." Luca nodded. "I'll come to help after I finish breakfast."
"No rush. I've heated up your breakfast in the microwave. Let me clean these first," said Aunt Nelle,indicating there were still many ingredients to be cleaned.
For some reason, there were a lot of people at the market today, and the stalls she usually patronizedwere unusually busy, so the stall owners did not have time to do a simple rinse for her.
Aunt Neile was left with no choice. She could only buy them and clean them herself.
Cleaning was not a difficult task, but with so many ingredients, it became quite a chore.
Luca took out the breakfast Aunt Nelle had heated up for her from the microwave and brought it to theliving room to eat.
Rainie watched Luca have her breakfast and asked, "Ms. Craw, are a lot of people coming overtonight?"
"Yeah, they're all people you know. It's a small gathering." Luca nodded.
"Oh, so they're all the ones we know," replied Rainie.
"Uncle Jim’s son will be coming, along with Uncle Louis' daughter. You'll have company to play with."Luca thought the kids would enjoy having playmates their age.
When Rainie heard that Jim's child was also coming, her brows furrowed together.
Noticing her daughter's unease, Luca asked, "What's wrong?"
"Simon's coming too. He always pulls my braids. I don't like playing with him," Rainie answered in ahelpless tone.
When Lanie heard Rainie say so, his expression became serious. "I'll give him a piece of my mind if hedares to do so!"
"Lanie, you have to protect me," said Rainie.
"Don't worry, I won't let him bully you," replied Lanie. He was very protective of his sister.
Tommy chimed in, "Rainie, I'll protect you too. 1*11 make sure the annoying Simon stays far away fromyou."
Rainie smiled brightly when she heard her brothers say so.
She felt that having brothers around was not such a bad thing when she was facing the annoyingSimon.
They would not let him succeed.
After Luca finished breakfast, she went into the kitchen to help Aunt Nelle prepare the ingredients.
There were a lot of ingredients, so the two of them worked together to wash them.
Rainie also came to help, just as she had promised the day before.
However, the kitchen sink was small, and Rainie could not help much. Therefore, she was responsiblefor bringing the ingredients in for the adults and taking out the washed ones.
Going back and forth, Rainie was happily busy with a smile on her face.
Luca and Aunt Neile worked together and soon cleaned all the ingredients.
Luca went to the dining room, looked at the table full of ingredients, and said, "They definitely can'tfinish eating all of this tonight. By the way, Aunt Neile, do we only have one barbecue grill at home?"
Aunt Nelle nodded and replied, "Yes, just one. Is it too few for so many people?"
"It is, but it's okay. I'll go out later and get another one," Luca thought it would not be good to have somany people with only one grill.novelbin
Even though the men probably would not gather around the grill to barbecue, there were still manypeople.
One grill could only cook a limited amount of food, so they needed another one.
"It’s okay. Let me call the shop owner. They can deliver it to our doorstep," suggested Aunt Neile. As aprofessional maid, she had the phone numbers of various equipment shops.
These shops would deliver goods to customers' homes as long as the purchase amount was sufficient.
Even if it was not enough, as long as a small delivery fee was paid, the boss could arrange for thedelivery guy to deliver the goods to the door. It was very convenient.
"That works," replied Luca. She glanced at the sun outside. The weather was hot. Even if there was airconditioning in the car, she did not feel like going out.
"Ms. Craw, should we start seasoning the ingredients now?" asked Aunt Neile.
"Yes, bring all the seasonings from the kitchen so that we don't have to keep going back and forth,"replied Luca. She picked up kitchen paper and repeatedly dabbed off the water droplets on theingredients.
This way, when they were marinated later, the texture would be better.
When Rainie saw her doing this, she also picked up kitchen paper and repeatedly dabbed the waterdroplets off the other ingredients.
"Good job, Rainie," praised Luca.
Rainie put on a shy smile and continued to focus on her actions.
Tommy stood up from the couch in the living room.
Lanie asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to help them!" replied Tommy.
Lanie heaved a sigh and shook his head, seeing through his brother's intentions at a glance. "You'rejust itching to stir up trouble. But what's the plan if you start drooling over those plates of meat later?Are our guests supposed to feast on meat or your slobber?"
