The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 71 Beef Carnival!
"Zizzi-"

The newly served skewers instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Compared with short ribs, beef tendon skewers look much more rugged. Dozens of skewers are laid out, and each skewer is filled with seven or eight pieces of beef brisket and tendon on an arm-length iron skewer. Just one look at it makes people salivate.

When the fat burst out under the activation of heat, the rich aroma exploded instantly like a bomb. The pure meaty aroma that hit the soul directly made people swallow their saliva.

This sound of swallowing saliva became more frequent after Qin Lang grabbed a handful of skewers and flipped them over, revealing the sizzling texture of the roasted parts.

After both sides were grilled and changed color, Qin Lang grabbed a handful of prepared barbecue seasoning from the seasoning box next to him and sprinkled it evenly on the surface of the skewers, allowing the oil on the surface of the skewers to soak the seasoning, and an even more exotic aroma burst out instantly.

"How...how long will it take?" Zhou Tianhao hummed and swallowed, expressing the thoughts of everyone in the field.

"Almost done." Qin Lang smiled. "The skewers need to be grilled until they are slightly charred for the best results."

As he spoke, Qin Lang grabbed half of the skewers in each hand and kept flipping them in a rather rough and wild manner.

"Bear--"

As he flipped the skewers, balls of grease would ignite and explode into flames, occasionally bursting out on the skewers and then going out again. It looked extremely magical and drew exclamations from the crowd.

When the heat was just right, Qin Lang sprinkled chili powder on the skewers and placed them on a large plate prepared in advance.

"Come on, come on, everyone gets a share!"

Soon everyone present had one or two skewers in their hands, and even the food spirits in the air were given one each.

The atmosphere in the place suddenly became quiet. Everyone focused on eating the barbecue, and no one said a word, for fear that saying one more word would ruin the amazing barbecue.

The sounds gradually became more noticeable until the barbecue on the large plate was almost gone.

"Gu Yue, don't you dislike eating meat? Why don't you give me this skewer?" Another female student came forward with a smile, pretending to grab the skewer.

"Get out!" Gu Yue glared suddenly, turned around quickly and held the only skewer of meat in her arms. The friendship between her best friends was gone at this moment.

Amidst the laughter, Fu Xing shook his head and sighed, "The combination of beef brisket and beef tendon is really wonderful."

"Indeed." This time, Zhou Qing agreed with Fu Xing. "The beef brisket is rich in fat and tender, but it lacks a bit of chewiness."

“The tendon doesn’t have a lot of fat, but it’s very chewy.”

"When the two are mixed together and skewered, the fat in the brisket will be activated during grilling and will wrap around the beef tendon, making the tendon more flavorful."

"The different textures of beef tendon and beef brisket intertwined together also make the skewers have two different tastes that connect with each other."

"I don't have a tongue as good as you foodies." Zhao Chuan laughed and came over. "But this beef tendon can even be chewed by my old teeth. It's truly the best beef tendon I've ever eaten."

"Grandpa, I know that." Zhao Qian chuckled, "Qin Lang stewed the beef tendon for several hours before grilling it. He said that he took the elderly into consideration, so he made the beef tendon taste this way!"

If you ask why Zhao Qian knew this, it’s because she was the one who did this job!

"The beef tendon is crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Qin Lang's cooking always brings surprises to me." Zhou Qing laughed.

At this moment, he recalled the state of "adapting to customers" that Qin Lang had once told him, which was to choose and adjust the cooking methods according to the different needs of diners.

For a moment, Zhou Qing was filled with emotion.

Qin Lang listened to everyone's chatter, but his hands didn't stop moving. After eating two large skewers to fill his stomach, he grabbed a handful of new skewers.

This time the meat skewers are completely different from the previous beef tendon skewers because they alternate between red and white pieces.

The red part is naturally beef, and the tender beef tenderloin is used. As for the white part, it is pure beef fat.

"Oh!" Fu Xing's eyes lit up instantly, "I feel this one might be even more delicious than the previous one."

"But won't such a big piece of fat be greasy?" Song Hui couldn't help but speak as she watched Qin Lang start grilling it.

"Hey, you have the final say on desserts, but when it comes to beef, it's a different story." Fu Xing shook his head and said, "Now it looks a bit greasy, but it will be completely different after grilling."

"And Qin Lang chose the beef tenderloin, which has the least fat, for this dish. The fat that is released can enhance the flavor of the beef tenderloin."

As Fu Xing was speaking, a series of sizzling sounds, much clearer than before, became continuous. Activated by the heat, the originally white fat quickly turned yellow and shrank, and oil continued to drip, splashing tiny sparks of fire on the charcoal fire.

By the time the skewers came out of the oven, the fat pieces, which were originally about the same size as the lean meat, had shrunk to a quarter of their original size and turned completely golden yellow.

"Come, try it!" Fu Xing picked up a string and handed it to Song Hui.

"Okay." Song Hui nodded slightly and bit off the lean meat at the front of the skewer. The meat was slightly crispy on the surface and bursting with juice. The tender taste of the beef tenderloin and the oil oozing from the fat were a perfect blend.

After taking a bite, Song Hui's eyes lit up and she suddenly realized the benefits of roasting different meats together.

She then took a bite of the golden butter. Beneath the crispy exterior, a mouthful of fat instantly burst out, but surprisingly, it did not feel greasy at all. Instead, the milky flavor of the butter filled her mouth with fragrance.

this smell...

"it is good!!!"

Zhou Tianhao on the side shouted loudly, holding up the skewers in his hand, "I declare that this is the most delicious skewers I have ever eaten!"

Qin Lang smiled slightly and picked up a new skewer.

However, unlike the previous beef skewers, this time we are grilling vegetarian dishes.

Although the beef is cooked to perfection and not too greasy, after eating two kinds of skewers in a row, it is still necessary to eat some to relieve the greasiness.

"Great, it's a vegetarian dish!" Gu Yue became excited instantly.

"Tsk, what vegetarian dishes are there?" Tong Hui, another female student next to her, puffed out her cheeks. "I also want to eat beef skewers."

"Then give me your vegetarian dishes later." Gu Yue smiled.

"That won't do!" Tong Hui became alert instantly.

Vegetarian dishes are grilled faster, and soon the grilled vegetarian skewers are delivered to everyone.

The vegetarian skewers Qin Lang prepared this time included all kinds of ingredients including zucchini, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, leeks, green peppers, etc.

Although the quality wasn't as good as the Silver Frosted Beef, the vegetables he selected were equally top-quality, ensuring freshness. The roasting process locked in the moisture, and then evenly spread with the chili sauce Qin Lang had prepared specifically for vegetarian dishes...

He ate without making a sound.
