Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 82: Refusing Your Own Stall, Running Off to Eat Someone Else’s Barbecue?

Foreigners also drink tea, but when it comes to their understanding of tea...

In their perception, tea drinks are basically divided into original or flavored teas sold at coffee shops, and then there are tea beverages sold in convenience stores and supermarkets, like iced black tea.

As for the tea drinks at coffee shops, they usually use tea bags with dried fruits inside.

Influenced by Great Xia milk tea, many chain brands are now slowly starting to offer tea drinks mixed with fruit juice, but they can't compare at all to the flavors created with fresh fruit in milk tea shops.

Compared to coffee shop drinks, which are relatively pricey, more people still tend to buy iced black tea directly from supermarkets to drink.

After drinking too many beverages with additives, suddenly tasting this milk tea extracted purely from natural tea leaves seemed to open a new world for him, taking sip after sip without stopping. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Medium-sized milk tea is just five hundred milliliters, with ice subtracted, four hundred left at best. In no time, one cup of milk tea is bottomed out.

The man licked his lips reluctantly, lifted the cup and looked at it, seeing a little milk still lingering at the bottom, he leaned in to suck a couple more sips.

"It's still not enough, luckily I had the foresight to buy three cups."

He hasn't even started eating barbecue, but he's already finished a cup of milk tea, now he wonders if it will be enough to drink.

Lucas has yet to start making drinks with watermelon, afraid the barbecue in his hand would turn cold and taste bad, he casually puts the cup back.

"Pour it directly into the next cup, save me a cup."

"Alrighty, making it right away, you eat the barbecue first, it's best eaten hot."

"Okay."

The man nodded, the unexpectedly delicious milk tea made him even more eagerly anticipate this uniquely presented Great Xia barbecue.

Just by looking, the meat skewer in his hand was completely different from what he's seen before.

Whether it's German-style, Italian-style, French-style, or barbecue from South America or the Middle East, barbecue skewered on sticks are almost always lean meat-focused, with no visible white fat at first glance.

But the barbecue skewer before him was different, clearly showing white fatty layers wrapped around lean meat, roasted by charcoal fire to a crispy yellow, emitting a rich meat aroma.

White onions sandwiched between beef briskets, if not carefully observed, could be mistaken for fat, edges roasted to a crispy char.

The evenly scattered chili flakes and cumin particles on the meat surface wafted enticing spicy aromas amidst the steam.

The more he looked, the more enticing it became, he couldn't resist swallowing the saliva flooding his mouth, opened his mouth wide and tore off an entire piece.

At the moment of entrance, the aroma of cumin blossomed in the mouth, clearly feeling each cumin fragment remaining on the tip of his tongue, unleashing its unique allure.

With South American and Middle Eastern barbecue adept at using spices, foreigners are accustomed to the cumin flavor, but mainly in powdered form, like this direct chopped whole grains are quite uncommon.

One bite, the rich beef fat exploded in the mouth, not greasy, but rather sublime and fragrant.

Wrapped amongst the beef fat, the beef brisket was incredibly tender, wouldn't get stuck in teeth, a gentle bite would break muscle fibers.

Due to the meat chunks being large enough, although tender, it still had a strong chewy texture, paired with sweet onions offered unparalleled satisfaction.

The heavy beef fat flavor initially completely covered the chili flakes' spiciness, as the meat chunks were chewed and mashed, slowly releasing a subtle spiciness, just right to offset much of the greasiness.

With just one bite, the man widened his eyes in shock, pointing at the meat skewer, stammering unable to speak.

"This... this... fuck!"

Disbelievingly he took another bite, closed his eyes, chewed heartily with an expression of enjoyment while cursing.

"Bloody hell, damn it, how can it be so delicious, crab gift, what have I been eating before?"

No need to guess, just hearing these familiar catchphrases and tone, this guy is another chap from Fu Country.

Besides him, two other diners who got the palace-baked meat also let out cries of amazement, especially the young woman whose voice was so loud that even Lunard busily working in the adjacent food truck could hear clearly.

"What, what! It's already grilled?"

"Neo, leave the remaining orders to you, I'm going to learn some techniques!"

"Huh??"

Apprentice Neo watched his boss take off his gloves and toss them into the trash, hurriedly push open the truck door, and rush out.

Learn techniques? What techniques?

You're from a barbecue nation, and need to learn barbecue techniques from others?

Ridiculous!

The remaining five diners saw Lunard running next door, and were somewhat dumbfounded too.

"No, what's happening, this old guy leaving his business, going to eat someone else's barbecue?"

"Is it really that good, my eyesight isn't great, can't see clearly, seems like there's no special aroma either."

"I can't smell anything either, but looking at the meat skewer in his hand seems quite nice, probably the fume exhaust works well."

"Buddy, hold my order, I'm going next door to queue and buy two skewers to taste."

"I'm going to buy two skewers too, seems like there're drinks available, the salty barbecue is perfect for quenching thirst."

In the blink of an eye, the remaining five people ran off in a flash.

Neo opened his mouth, his sight following the direction they left, his hands speeding up.

He wanted to taste it too!!

Quickly finish, and ask the boss to bring him two skewers!

Since the Great Xia food truck arrived, the boss's business has almost become nonexistent, claiming not curious would be false, he's seen the boss running to eat several times.

Rarely they come early this time, he's almost off soon, today he must taste it!

Very soon, the second batch of palace-baked meat gradually came out, along with first batch grilled various meat and vegetable skewers also coming out consecutively.

"Here, your two grilled beef neck skewers and two grilled mushrooms."

"Miss, your lamb skewers are ready, and it's potatoes and green beans, right? Mildly spicy?"

"To the diners behind, please announce your orders, those who want to buy milk tea and iced jelly, directly ask Lucas, pay first."

"This? This is lotus root slices, the root of the lotus flower, it's carbs, crunchy texture and rich in nutrients."

Due to its unique appearance, almost no one recognized lotus root slices, these are virtually nonproduced here, rotting in mud ponds without anyone knowing, only Great Xia people grow and sell them.

Everyone who ate the palace-baked meat then went to taste the beef neck skewers and lamb skewers, although also delicious, tender and juicy, compared to the mixed lean and fat beef brisket skewers, distinctly lacked a sense of astonishment.

Thus, one by one they shifted their focus to the grilled vegetable skewers.

With Lin Chen's enthusiastic recommendation, almost all diners opted to try each type of vegetable skewer first, after all, the meat skewers were large, easy to get full, vegetable skewers had potatoes and lotus root, two staple foods, making it impossible for those with small appetites to finish.
