Bai Zhi hesitated a moment, then said, "The last time I saw barbecue, this is how they ate it. They just skewered the meat and grilled it."
They didn't question it. As they watched Bai Zhi cook, a delicious aroma quickly began to fill the air.
Especially after she brushed on her secret sauce. The aroma was so enticing it drew people from the next building out to see.
Xiao Yu stared eagerly. "Is it ready yet?"
Bai Zhi: "Just a little longer."
Less than a minute later, she asked again, "Is it ready yet?"
Xing Fan noticed a female in the next building craning her neck to look their way. "Is that your neighbor?" she asked Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi took a second to glance up and saw a female leaning over the wall, looking in their direction.
She had been living here for days, but this was the first time she'd seen her neighbor. "I guess so."
Xiao Yu watched the woman, who looked just as hungry as she had been a moment ago. "Looks like the smell is getting to her, too."
