Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 219 - 159: Hidden Ingredients, King Crab and Blue Lobster

He clearly knows his advantage lies in having a good mindset, without any noticeable emotional fluctuations.

Even if others are already tidying up after finishing, he doesn't rush and leisurely thinks about what dish to make to satisfy these picky guests.

Fortunately, he hasn't seen the dishes Lin Chen made before, assuming they are Great Xia Cuisine. So, he'll just use his strengths to make them in Western style, ensuring there won't be a clash in flavors.

"Everyone, how full are you?"

Wang Ziqin put down his clean plate, having not eaten such delicious sea intestine rice for a long time. For a moment, he lost control and didn't even let the leftover soup at the bottom of the plate go to waste.

If it weren't for the others present, he would have considered licking it directly.

"Just an appetizer."

"Half full?"

Jiang Shuqi and Chu Yueyue felt it for a moment and replied.

It seemed like they had several dishes, but in fact, the portions given to each person weren't much, with only enough main course equivalent to a normal bowl of rice. Most girls with normal appetites wouldn't be full.

There's still half a pot of turtle meat in the pot, but they have no intention of continuing to eat.

This dish is only tasty at the beginning; eating too much makes it feel greasy.

Most importantly, they all know what's hidden in the trunk.

Taste is enough; rather than waste stomach capacity on braised turtle, it's better to eat something good.

"How about you?"

Seeing Wang Ziqin looking over, Dreya and Anna also expressed they weren't full.

They wouldn't pretend that models need to maintain their figures and cannot eat much.

For them, eating to their heart's content is the primary goal; everything else can be dealt with.

At worst, they can add a few more days of morning runs.

"Old Zhang! Go bring the stuff from the trunk over, and then sit down and eat together."

"Okay, boss."

Driver Old Zhang pulled a small cart outside and soon brought in two boxes.

"Old Lin, it's your turn. Let's eat together, consider it a work benefit. Once these are done, your group can finish for the day."

Having just cleaned the table and stove, Lin Chen rolled his eyes, not showing any temper for the sudden overtime; after all, he's the boss.

He walked over and lifted the lid, revealing dense navy blue crab legs.

"King crab??"

"Wow, how many did we catch, 1, 2, 3... 5?"

Each king crab was as big as a human face, with leg lengths comparable to a forearm.

His gaze shifted to the other box.

With king crabs here, there surely must be lobsters too?

Lifting the lid, upon seeing the ingredients inside, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

Indeed, there were lobsters, but not ordinary ones, rather the aristocrat of lobsters, Brittany Blue Lobster, famously from Romantic Country.

Claimed to be a rare delicacy appearing only once in several million lobsters, locally priced at over 50 euros per pound, which is about 370-380 RMB.

If transported to this country, considering freight and various markup costs, the price would at least double.

Judging by eye, these Blue Lobsters seem to weigh over 4 pounds each, meaning each one costs over 200 euros.

There are five in the box, with a total cost exceeding a thousand euros.

Rich as hell!!

But since the entire ocean farm is his asset, bringing a few Blue Lobsters over to taste isn't much.

"Gulp"

Seeing that peculiar blue color, Dreya and Anna couldn't help but swallow.

This rarity can hardly be found in supermarkets; if one wants to eat it, they must order from the seafood markets or buy from lobster farms.

Most locals haven't tasted this.

The Blue Lobster's growth cycle is extremely slow, its meat extraordinarily delicious, and it must be freshly prepared and consumed. Even slightly cooling leads to moisture loss and tough meat, thus fresh Blue Lobsters have nearly no special value and only trick unwitting tourists.

Looking at the time, it's still early, half an hour to go before six o'clock.

If quick, everything should be done by seven-thirty, leaving ample time to set up his booth.

"Do you have any specific flavor requests?"

Without looking at Wang Ziqin, he directly asked the two actual decision-makers at the table.

"Could you make spicy dry pot?"

Chu Yueyue obviously swallowed, her eyes filled with desire, while Jiang Shuqi shook her head, showing no particular preference.

"Alright, spicy dry pot, simple."

Each king crab weighs at least five pounds, with net meat close to one and a half pounds, totaling almost four kilograms of meat when five are combined.

And with five Blue Lobsters, even five men on empty stomachs might not finish it.

Meaning at least half is reserved for the staff to eat.

This boss is admirable, offering Blue Lobster and king crab right away.

Larger marine creatures are easier to cook; the challenge is in slicing.

Professional seafood scissors are needed to cut through their thick shells.

Of course, this seaside restaurant has everything needed.

"Chef, we'll help out too."

The boss invited them, so Dais and Elsa felt embarrassed only serving and came to help.

Having stood on the sidelines for over an hour, Helena and Lucinda finally couldn't resist and joined in, "We'll help too."

"Huh??"

Jonathan's face quickly dropped: "Hey, hey, that's unfair, you're discriminating!"
