Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 84: Are We Crazy for Eating Fatty Meat in the Middle of the Night?

"No, she's not an angel, she's a devil in angel's disguise!"

Richard's voice was choked with tears, "Her eyes seem like they can see right through you, it feels like all your secrets are exposed, as if you're not wearing any clothes. That feeling is just awful!"

At this moment, Lin Chen started calling out the skewers. Marian quickly walked over to pick up seven skewers of grilled meat, handing one each to George's parents, two to the four kids, one for herself and George, and the last one she stuffed into Richard's hand.

"Calm down, darling, have some barbecue first. Your brain works better when it's full."

"Oh my god, I feel like I'll have nightmares tonight!"

Richard's eyes were turning red, not sure if it was from fear or from being upset about not getting the autograph to date Lisa.

Smelling the aroma of the barbecue, he sniffed and started drooling uncontrollably in his mouth.

Turning grief into appetite, he took a fierce bite.

Anna and Dreya each got a skewer of grilled meat and returned to sit by the flower bed, their attention still on the group of nine.

Seeing the young man's cheeks stained with a line of glistening tears, biting into the meat skewers in large mouthfuls, it seemed he was venting his emotions.

Anna felt a bit sorry for him.

"Is it appropriate to hit a teenager like this?"

"Yes, it's appropriate."

Dreya nodded without hesitation, "If such a small obstacle can make him give up, they would part ways sooner or later. A bad man, I can't stand by and watch my little girl fan, whom I've never met, fall into trouble."

"…" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Anna opened her mouth, but couldn't think of anything to refute, so she had to give a thumbs up, "You're impressive."

"I know."

Anna rolled her eyes and instinctively picked up the meat skewer and took a bite.

The tender beef fat burst like a solid sauce, followed by the rich beef juices, the meat was soft without any extra seasoning, only basic salt and some chili flakes and cumin seeds sprinkled on the surface.

With just one bite, her attention immediately shifted.

"Quick, you have to taste this barbecue, it's super delicious!!"

Without needing her reminder, Dreya also wanted to eat some, and conveniently pulled down a whole piece and took a bite.

"Pfft"

Feeling the rich beef juices and fat explode in her mouth, that incomparable feeling of happiness made her squint her eyes unconsciously.

"It's indeed delicious, I've never eaten such tender barbecue that bursts with juice. It looks fatty, but it's not greasy at all, now I know how fatty meat tastes when grilled."

"Really really! I was worried when I saw so much white fat before, but it was unexpectedly fragrant! Paired with this sweet onion, it's perfect!"

"I agree, but we have a problem now."

Dreya bit another piece, her red lips covered in grease, her cheeks puffed up chewing, her voice muffled.

"Eating fatty meat late at night, are we crazy?"

Anna's smile froze: "… Would it kill you not to speak?"

"I'd suffocate, how about a morning run tomorrow?"

"It's not that bad, it's just one skewer, the other two kinds are lean meat and vegetables with carbs, quite healthy."

"You're satisfied with just one skewer? Then I'll order another one."

"!! Order one for me too!"

The speed at which the grilled meats were served was extremely fast, and they received unanimous praise from the diners. Even many foreigners who were initially worried by the fatty meat couldn't resist trying it after seeing others enjoy it so much.

Tasting is believing, and once tasted, things were bound to happen.

Lucas and the security colleagues each held a skewer in both hands, biting into it greedily, feeling the aroma of the beef and beef fat spread in their mouths, nodding uncontrollably.

"Amazing, truly amazing, no wonder even that old fellow Lunard came to eat, this is what you call barbecue!"

"Why didn't you tell us about such a delicious shop earlier, we missed out big time!"

"I only just came here a few days ago, alright, and they sell different things every day. Some I really can't get used to, but some are indeed addictive."

Lucas finished two skewers at lightning speed, licking the remaining juices on the bamboo stick longingly.

"If I keep eating like this, I might turn into a Great Xia stomach. Now I have no desire whatsoever for the cold sandwiches sold in the mall during the day, waiting for this each night is all I can think about."

"Don't worry."

Meng Qi's clothes were also soaked by now, and hearing the conversation, he naturally chimed in.

"It's only a matter of time, not just sandwiches, you might lose interest in burgers and pasta too in the future, given how much great food we have in Great Xia."

"Of course, a well-made burger or pizza is still delicious, but in terms of value for money... you know, how can they beat the affordable, tasty, and filling Great Xia Cuisine?"

"That's certainly true."

Several security guards nodded in agreement, with their wages not being high, the less living expenses the better.

"But your stall opens too late. Not eating during the day is really going to starve us."

"Let's eat while we still can, take one day at a time, and deal with tomorrow's problem tomorrow."

"With Lin's cooking skills, why not set up a full-time stall? I'm sure it'd earn more than working a regular job."

"Who knows."

Lucas shrugged, "Maybe he has his own life pursuits?"

"That's true, I've heard chefs always dream of having their own Michelin Restaurant, a food truck won't suffice."

"Meng Qi! Your potato slices are ready! Dreya, Anna, yours are ready too!"

"Coming!!!"

Upon hearing that the skewers were ready, the group simultaneously darted forward, happily taking the still sizzling golden potato slices from Lin Chen's hands.

They looked about as thick as fries, cut into large slices, with only two or three per skewer, sprinkled with seasoning powder, the smell enticing.

Potatoes are a favorite among foreigners, be it mashed potatoes, fries, hash browns, potato waffles, or layered potatoes, and although the grilled potato slices hadn't been tasted yet, everyone already assumed they were delicious.

Dreya saw Lin Chen placing lotus slices, mushrooms, and string beans on the grill, and rather than heading back, she stood nearby to start eating.

The golden potato slices had a crunchy crust from grilling, similar to crispy roast potatoes.

Gently biting into them.

"Crunch"

The crust shattered with an aromatic burst, the inside a soft and tender potato core that melted with just a gentle push of the tongue, yet the closer to the center, it retained some crispness and resilience.

The three distinct textures combined to create an exquisite taste experience.

"Delicious! So delicious, these potato slices are every bit as good as the meat skewers!"

"I never expected potatoes to taste so good when grilled, I'm already looking forward to the other vegetables, that thick lotus slice should be quite nice too, don't you think?"
