Chapter 53: Chapter 52: Competent Munching Display of Ying Shuang
Yu Hua's cucumber snaps were quickly presented by Fu Ya. Following that, there was plate after plate of Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs.
The aroma of the Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs was incredibly captivating. Just catching a whiff of this scent caused the diners in the small shop to start salivating uncontrollably.
Zhou Long greedily leaned in towards the Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs, taking a sniff of the rich meaty fragrance. It was infused with a hint of rosemary and a subtle deep fruitiness.
Delicious! Unable to hold back his admiration, Zhou Long instinctively reached for the chopsticks to pick up a piece of the palm-sized honey-glazed rib and taste it.
Shouldn't a piece this big be more suitable to be cut with a knife and fork? Just as this thought emerged in his mind, Zhou Long quickly noticed that there were silver knives and forks placed on the left and right sides of the Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs.
Indeed, this dish was meant to be enjoyed with a knife and fork.
Although knives and forks were common utensils in the Douluo Continent, after using chopsticks for a long time, Zhou Long felt a slight sense of wonder as he used a knife and fork for the first time in Qi Han's small shop.
Zhou Long's actions weren't particularly elegant; after all, he wasn't someone who paid much attention to etiquette. He used the dining knife to carve a tic-tac-toe pattern on the ribs, then cut them into roughly equal-sized pieces. He then picked up the fork and began eating.
While cutting with the knife, Zhou Long felt that something was a bit off with the tactile sensation. As he lifted a piece of honey-glazed rib close to his face with the fork, Zhou Long couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
He had eaten a lot of grilled meat before, but these ribs were completely different from any meat he had ever tasted.
The deep brown surface carried a slight hint of char, releasing the purest aroma of grilled meat. However, the meat inside was even more tender and succulent than he had imagined. The tender pinkish-red color was on full display before Zhou Long's eyes, almost as if the delectable juiciness was about to drip out, visible to the naked eye.
*Gurgle*
Zhou Long's face turned red. Just looking at this piece of meat made his stomach growl uncontrollably.
For a piece of meat to have such complex layers of flavor, the chef's culinary skills were truly remarkable.
Taking the meat into his mouth, Zhou Long gave it a gentle bite. Once he broke through the slightly firm outer layer, the tender and resilient sensation burst forth. Slowly, the juices of the meat filled his mouth, and the succulent flavor unique to the badgerpig meat caused Zhou Long's eyes to widen involuntarily.
The small shop had a variety of meat dishes, but when it came to sheer purity, this honey-glazed rib was an experience like no other for Zhou Long – the purest form of meat cuisine.
The meat fragrance was entirely coaxed out by natural botanical spices, embodying the utmost purity of meat flavor, an indulgent feast for carnivores.
Such delectability, anyone fond of meat could not resist.
Though the piece of meat was sizeable, Zhou Long devoured it swiftly. For someone of his stature, the portion of the Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs was far from sufficient.
At this point, he had forgotten about budgeting and even contemplated whether to order another serving of Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs.
However, there was no need to rush, he could finish the remaining two new dishes first.
What if those two dishes had substantial portions?
Laying down his fork, Zhou Long eagerly eyed the shallow brown meat juices on the white plate.
If it weren't somewhat improper, he would have wanted to lick the plate clean as well.
But soon, he forgot about that desire as the second new dish arrived.
Fu Ya carried plates of burst sausage and placed them gently before the diners. Zhou Long widened his eyes, staring at the food on the plate.
What kind of sausage was this? Why was it shaped like rings?
Before he could ponder further, a peculiar aroma stealthily entered his nostrils and mouth.
Hmm? Zhou Long instinctively took a sniff, and in the next moment, his expression drastically changed.
Is this a scent?
Why does it smell so strange! In order not to affect the dining experience of other customers who didn't order burst sausage, Qi Han and the system had discussed this beforehand and added some high-tech elements to this dish. Its scent wouldn't leave the vicinity of the table, so only the customers who ordered this dish could perceive the peculiar aroma, while others remained completely unaware.
Watching the customers who ordered the dish, one by one, their expressions changed wildly, showing resistance, while confusion filled the minds of the others who didn't understand what was happening.
What's going on?
Yu Hua had just finished savoring the cucumber snaps and was about to relish the taste of the Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs when the aroma of burst sausage wafted into his nose, causing his expression to twitch.
Yu Hua had dealt with various natural treasures and substances for years, so his resistance to toxins was quite high. After all, many of these natural treasures emitted unpleasant odors.
Comparatively, the scent of the burst sausage was nothing to him.
He was just a bit curious about why the small shop would serve a dish with such an unappetizing aroma.
Driven by curiosity, Yu Hua set aside the Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs and began to taste the burst sausage first.
Just as the small shop was enveloped in an eerie atmosphere, a voice suddenly rang out, "Wow, this is so delicious!"
Hmm? The gazes of everyone instantly shifted toward the source of the sound. A girl with red hair picked up ring-shaped pieces of sausage, joyfully eating them with a pleasantly surprised expression on her face.
This... was Ying Shuang. She had been eagerly looking forward to this peculiarly fragrant yet repulsive dish, especially after the initial course turned out to be Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs.
Ying Shuang hadn't ordered the Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs; she was instead tormented by the overwhelming strange meat scent, clutching her stomach in agony, hoping her dish would arrive soon.
Fortunately, time rewarded her patience, and her dish didn't keep her waiting for long.
Eager to experience the smell that Fu Ya had described, Ying Shuang was surprised to find that the odd scent wasn't as exaggerated as she had imagined.
Others were clueless, holding onto the belief that "Qi Han's dishes must be fragrant." As soon as they caught a whiff of the burst sausage's aroma, there was a substantial psychological disparity, making it hard to accept. However, Ying Shuang had mentally prepared for this and found the scent to be more palatable than she had expected.
Although this sausage was entirely different from any sausages she had previously consumed, Ying Shuang still believed it to be some form of special sausage. With no psychological burden, she sent a burst sausage ring into her mouth without hesitation.
With just a gentle bite, the liquid coating enveloping the burst sausage oozed out and mingled with the sausage while chewing. Amid the deliciousness, a distinct flavor unique to the sausage emerged, leaving one entranced.
"Mmm!" Ying Shuang couldn't help but narrow her eyes, thoroughly enjoying this unprecedented delicacy.
If she were on Earth, Ying Shuang would undoubtedly be a skilled food steamer or a mukbang star. Just observing her demeanor, those around her couldn't help but feel that the burst sausage was a divine delicacy.
The customers who had also ordered burst sausage couldn't help but sink into contemplation as they witnessed Ying Shuang's expression. Looking at their peculiar-smelling burst sausages in front of them, they couldn't help but wonder.
This... Am I not having the same dish as her?
It was time for Fu Ya to intervene. She quickly spoke up, "This dish is quite unique; its scent is a bit strange, but it tastes delicious. Everyone should give it a try."
Mmm, for the sake of gold soul coins, Fu Ya was indeed going all out.
Upon hearing Fu Ya's explanation, the customers who hadn't ordered the dish immediately understood why those who had were reacting so strangely. And those who had ordered the dish now comprehended why Ying Shuang was enjoying it so much.
So, this turned out to be a miraculously delightful dish that smells bad but tastes great?
