As soon as they finished cooking, they brought the food they've cooked outside. Not only did they cook for themselves, but for the whole household.
Outside, the servants have set up different tables for all of them to sit around. In the Zhao's main building, there are more than 50 employees (not including the guards since they live in a separate building and only personal guards stay in the main house), which means they were like throwing a small gathering.
At the same time, the other chefs and cooks were working on the barbeque and prepare the food that Elizabeth has asked them.
Elizabeth left the kitchen for a moment to check on the barbeque. They were all cooking fresh clams, scallops, and different fish.
"They smell so good..."
"I've mixed the shallot, capers, lemon juice, and parsley, and put a spoon full over the scallops."
Elizabeth grabs one of the cook scallops and tasted it, her expression said it all. "Chef Han, it's so good..."
"Wahaha, I'm happy that you like it Young Miss." Chef Han smiled from ear to ear delight how pleased the girl was.
Before she left, she grabs three pieces of scallops as she brought them back to the kitchen.
"Mother, Grandpa, Uncle, try this..."
Each of them took a piece and ate it, as the fresh flavor from the scallop and sourness from the dressing melt into their mouth, they had the same expression as the girl did.
"Darling, it's delicious."
"Chef Han really is amazing."
"Hmm, your big brother would love this."
Elizabeth grabs the remaining dishes that need to be brought out as they all headed out. "Come on, let's all head out... I'm starving."
Everyone was all gathered around as they seated together. It's been a long time since they all gathered together for a meal. At the same time, they normally gather together thanks to their young mistress.
"Alright everyone, don't hold back and enjoy the feast," Elizabeth announced as she sat back down and started devouring the food.
They all grab the food they wish to eat as they sat around whilst some seated by the lawn as if they were having a picnic.
Elizabeth notices hers' and brother's dog, "Maya, Zeus, Max come here..."
The three dogs run towards the girl as they then stopped a few feet away from her. They were well-trained dogs, Maya is a Siberian Husky pure grey and blue eyes, Zeus was a German Shepherd, whilst Max was a golden retriever. Apart from the three of them there are at least 10 more dogs but are guard dogs like a rottweiler, Belgian hound, and Doberman.
Elizabeth grabs some meat and feeds it to each one of them after they shook hands with her.
"Baby, do you want me to bring Buddy and Marley here?" Lady Zhao asked seeing how happy the girl was while playing with the dogs.
"It's fine, Mom, I don't really like the idea of them to experiencing being in a cage for a long period of time." She stopped playing with the dog and went back to her table.
"Lili, how about we go horse riding once you're done." General Zhao asked.
"Sure, Uncle..." She replied.
After their meal.
Elizabeth and General Zhao headed to the stable with the stableman since they need to return to work as well.
The Zhao estate was like a resort. The estate was filled with different amenities. They have; a stable and ranch, a small stream connected to a lake filled with different fish, a maze garden which leads to the woodland, mini golf course, swimming pool area, a basketball court, and tennis court.
However, not a lot of people have ever seen the estate nor is it open to anyone. Only family and close friends have ever been in the estate since it's the main house of the Zhao and Xian family.
"Uncle Guanyu, I want to ride brother's horse." Elizabeth instructed the stableman to prepare the horse, as she went to get changed.
A few minutes later, Elizabeth came out in her complete horse riding attire, simultaneously, General Zhao was in the same attire as well.
"Lili, you look so adorable... When was the last time you put on a horse riding attire?"
"The last time I wore one of this was when I was studying horse riding and competing for royal charities and events."
"Let's go..."
Elizabeth grabs the horse and got on by herself. Of course, she didn't need anyone's help, for she knew how to handle a horse.
They then went around the whole estate visiting the different areas.
Since they have a late breakfast, they headed back to the stable past lunch already.
Meanwhile, Lady Zhao just woke up from her nap. She was walking down the garden path with a cup of coffee looking for the girl and her brother.
"Mother, did you have a good sleep?" Elizabeth asked, noticing the woman walking towards them who seems to just have woken up since she hasn't brushed her hair nor wash her face but still looked beautiful.
Elizabeth and General Zhao were resting by the cottage covered in different hanging flowers.
"Yeah, I did..." the woman seated on one of the empty seats. "How was it?"
"It was great, it's been a while since I rode a horse. Plus brother horse is amazing..."
"Oh... You didn't ride Beauty?" Lady Zhao sipped her coffee surprised to know she didn't ride her own horse.
Elizabeth shook her head and asked to take a sip of her mother's coffee as she grabbed it.
"Weiwei, will you be visit University?" General Zhao asked.
"I've contacted the board as well. I'm really upset something like that actually happened..."
Elizabeth notice her mother devilish aura appearing again, she quickly taps the woman on the shoulder easing her back, "Mother, no worries... Grandpa and Uncle have managed it and asked all the students to take an exam and show no one apart from that brat was taking drugs."
Lady Zhao was finally back to her normal calm self, "I'm glad it was only him..."
General Zhao looked at Elizabeth and gave her a thumbs up for being able to ease her mother before she goes wild.
"Will you be coming with me?" Lady Zhao asked whilst taking her coffee back.
"Of course..."
