Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 264 - 262: An Illusion of a Seaside Barbecue Stand
Say no more, down it in one go!
Buzz...
Chen Mo only felt his head buzzing as he gobbled up the oyster meat, too absorbed to think about anything else, immediately grabbing the shell to pour the barbecue juice and the seasoning oil into his mouth.
Seeing Chen Mo so immersed, He Ziheng didn’t bother him and directly joined in.
He took all two hundred skewers from the cart and then took over the grill with the oysters, "Come on, everyone, dig in!"
Ma Juntao, the gym instructor, saw this and said, "What do you mean, bro? We’re in line here too!"
"But I was the first to order!" He Ziheng, well-versed in online games, used his trump card, "Besides, can’t you let the ladies go first?"
"You..." Ma Juntao was defeated by that comment, not knowing how to respond, and could only watch as the ladies picked up the oysters one by one and then...
Auntie grabbed a pair of chopsticks, pried the oyster meat from the shell without even looking, and gobbled it up.
"Mmm..." Auntie stood with her legs together, shaking, "So hot, hot, hot... yet so delicious!"
What is this heavenly taste?
As soon as it hits the tongue, the rich garlic flavor intertwines with the spicy kick of the chili pepper.
The combination creates a unique flavor, balancing the ocean taste of the oyster while enhancing its freshness and adding a hint of spiciness.
The smoky aroma from the charcoal adds a touch of wildness to the overall flavor!
The Guandu oysters, specially transported overnight from Zhanjiang, are tender yet chewy, with each bite bursting with a different explosion of flavors!
That bit of chili is just right for Sichuan people—it’s not overpoweringly spicy.
Yet it distinctly offers a wild touch from the seasoning, perfectly catering to the complete palate of the Sichuan taste!
Auntie also pours the oyster juice from the shell into her mouth.
"Ah... so satisfying, too satisfying! Why does it feel different from the grilled oysters I’ve had before?"
Gu Fang finished an oyster too, her eyes dreamy, feeling a sense of wonder, "It really is different, feels like... how to say it."
"Just feels like the freshness of the ingredients and the cleverness of the seasonings are perfectly blended, like having a barbecue by the sea!" Liu Yuerong also chimed in dreamily.
Delicious, absolutely delicious.
There’s just no way around it, the garlic and chili stimulate the appetite, while the oyster’s freshness offers an indulgent enjoyment, especially to inland people.
The charcoal’s smokiness perfectly ties everything together.
God gave humans mouths to kiss, eat, and speak, but at this moment, the girls think using their mouths for kissing is just a waste!
Talking is also a waste!
The mouth, by nature, is for eating only!
Not much to say, no need to say more, the sisters instinctively gather around the grill, picking up oysters and continuing to eat.
Chen Mo kindly reminded them, "Please throw the shells into the trash bin next to you!"
Every time the sisters took an oyster, Chen Mo would place a new one in its spot, scooping raw juice into it.
When Auntie ate the two-hundredth one, Gu Fang took the first one placed there again.
Chen Mo was stunned.
Wait... you guys...
Take one, I place one.
So after you finish one round, it’s just in time for the second round?
Will you let anyone else grill anything?
"This won’t do, I’ve got other things to handle, either take them all at once or don’t take them one by one!"
The moment Chen Mo said this, Ma Juntao and a dozen gym instructors nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, this is a street vendor, not an oyster buffet! How can you just hog them all and not let others eat?"
"Right, why are you all gathered around the grill eating, while we can only stand and watch? Is there no justice? No law and order!"
"I don’t care, I must get ten oysters from this grill! Or I’ll file a complaint!"
"Right, I’ll give you a bad review!"
Gu Fang smiled coldly.
The reason they didn’t follow He Ziheng’s plan earlier was that for it to work, there had to be a prerequisite: the barbecue must be delicious!
Not just good, it has to be so good you can’t stop eating!
Now it seems, Boss Xiao Chen’s skills never disappoint. Gu Fang finished the oyster in her hand and clapped, "Ladies, listen to me!"
Cao Tianrui, the owner of Jia Mei Gym, was among the people in line.
A good man doesn’t argue with women, so he hadn’t gotten any oysters yet, just luckily grabbed two meat skewers, thinking about how to transform his gym while eating.
Cao Tianrui thought of several plans.
The first is to hire cosplayers to act as companions, hanging around the fitness equipment to feed the members. The idea is you do a move, and I feed you a bite of something tasty!
But this plan could only be put on hold because the cost is indeed quite high, not just high.
The second plan is to put a small table next to each piece of fitness equipment like that small streamer had, to place snacks.
It’s all about self-motivation.
Run 500 meters, eat a skewer!
Do three sit-ups, eat an oyster!
This plan costs much less but has a downside—some people won’t control themselves and will just sit there eating, which would soon ruin the gym’s atmosphere.
So, Cao Tianrui was undecided for a long time.
At this moment, Gu Fang shouted to her sister members, "We can’t just eat and not train, ladies! Though oysters won’t make you gain weight, eating too much might!"
"Besides, with so many people lining up here at Boss Xiao Chen’s, why not head back to our yoga studio for now? I’ll have some people wait in line here, and we’ll eat while we work out later!"
Thirty-eight-year-old Auntie raised her oyster shell in agreement, juice spilling on her arm, and she quickly stuck out her tongue to lick it from wrist to elbow.
Click...
Chen Mo quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look more.
Sure enough, whatever Lu Yingqiu, whatever Mu Mu.
All cuteness is no match for sexiness.
Long live Prime Minister Cao!
Gu Fang winked at He Ziheng, and Xiao Hu immediately understood, raising his phone high.
"Folks, let’s head to Yuan Dongli Fitness Center for our eat-while-you-work-out session!"
"Not only do we have fitness and weight-loss-savvy male coaches, but also many hard-training yoga students!"
"Our main ethos is mutual support!"
With that, He Ziheng asked Chen Mo for a big platter.
Under the shocked gaze of Cao Tianrui and others, they cleared the grill of two hundred oysters and two hundred meat skewers.
Just directly, took them all!
