Chapter 164 1 Swarming In
The man's eyes lit up, and he thanked him repeatedly.
Then she quickly turned around and jogged to get her portable cooler.
At this moment, Su Qingxue lowered her voice and said with some concern.
"But can your body handle this? Didn't you say you needed to rest? Grilling so much must be tiring."
Chen Yuan said, "I'm worried that my body won't be able to handle it, so I'm planning to find someone to help us clean the grill and tidy up."
Su Qingxue: You can do that?!
Seeing her like this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"And that T-shirt that this uncle is wearing costs over four thousand, and his pants and shoes are all designer brands, so the ingredients he prepared must be pretty good."
He hadn't finished speaking.
The uncle returned happily.
He took out his own M9 Wagyu beef from the box, and then took out a large scallop that was almost as big as his palm.
Chen Yuan frequented the vegetable market and knew that these large scallops were quite expensive.
As he spoke, the uncle pulled out another packet of vermicelli from his pocket.
"I still have some vermicelli. I originally wanted to make garlic vermicelli scallops, but my skills are far inferior to yours. The smell of your barbecue makes my food just not right."
"Okay, you can leave it here, I'll take care of it."
Chen Yuan took the Wagyu beef and could tell at a glance that the meat was of excellent quality and should be genuine M9 Wagyu.
He deftly sliced the Wagyu beef into thick slices against the grain, then removed the shells from the scallops, leaving the skirt intact, his movements as fluid as flowing water.
Within minutes, both items were placed on the grill.
Wagyu beef doesn't require many seasonings or complicated cooking methods. It's simply rubbed with a thin layer of salt and freshly ground black pepper and seared over medium heat.
Next, place the scallops on a bed of the same minced garlic used for grilling oysters and soaked glass noodles.
Next, drizzle a spoonful of sauce made with white wine. This will bring out the natural aroma of the scallops.
This incredible cooking skill left the uncle speechless with amazement.
"Wow, that's impressive, young man. Your technique must be professional. Which five-star hotel do you work at?"
"I just did whatever I wanted and opened my own little shop."
"Then you absolutely have to tell me the name of your shop later, I really want to try your cooking!"
Less than 10 minutes.
The uncle took the two skewers of Wagyu beef that had just come off the fire.
He took a deep breath, feeling the rich aroma fill his nose and mouth. He puffed out his cheeks and blew hard before taking a bite.
One entrance.
The outer layer has the aroma of charcoal roasting, while the inside is as melted as butter.
The juices are perfectly locked inside, bursting forth with a single bite, a delightful interplay of milky and smoky aromas, the meat's texture distinct, melting in your mouth like jelly.
The man abruptly stopped chewing, his eyes widened, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.
He closed his eyes, his shoulders slumped, and then let out a long sigh.
"Wow! This is so delicious! Did we use the same piece of meat? How come yours tastes so much better? And how did you season it? The saltiness is just right!"
Chen Yuan did not answer, but handed the scallop over again.
"Try this, garlic vermicelli scallops."
The man brought a total of 10 scallops. He took 4 and pushed the remaining 6 back.
"You've worked hard. I'll eat four, and you can have the remaining six. Also, this Wagyu beef is too much for me to eat by myself, so you can have some too."
Chen Yuan had put in the work, so he accepted it without hesitation.
The uncle picked up the sad fans from the mountain, and when the temperature was right, he ate and drank as he stuffed the scallops into his mouth.
The aroma of garlic with a hint of wine, and the fresh sweetness of scallop meat, all explode on the tip of the tongue.
The glass noodles soaked up the broth, becoming savory and delicious.
"Incredible! Young man, who taught you this skill? The heat control, the seasoning—it's flawless!"
This exclamation was like a switch being flipped in the crowd.
The others who were previously observing and hesitating suddenly came to life.
Then one by one they walked up to Chen Yuan.
"Hello, I have some imported black pork ribs here. Could you help me grill them? After they're done, you can keep half, no, you can keep most of them!"
"Excuse me, sir, I brought mussels, shrimp paste, and this meat. Would you mind grilling them for me? I also have an unopened bottle of Moutai here, is that alright?"
"How about I give you cash? I won't haggle over how much processing fee you want. To be honest, my child has been crying for ages and I can't soothe him no matter what I do."
The crowd quickly gathered around.
Everyone brought out what they could, some even pulled out their phones to show their payment codes, and others had cash on hand and pulled out several ten-yuan bills.
As they got closer, the aroma grew stronger and stronger, and they couldn't stop drooling.
Chen Yuan never expected things to turn out this way.
He quickly stood up and said.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, there are just too many questions for me to answer. To be honest, I have an injury and the doctor advised me not to stand for long periods or exert myself too much."
"I'm just grilling meat for my family, so I really don't have the energy to grill for you guys."
The crowd fell silent for a second, then began to whisper among themselves.
A young man in a vest crossed his arms, gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and pulled out a few more ten-yuan bills from his wallet.
"You don't need to be so polite. You just want more money, right? If you think we're not giving you enough, you can just say so. This excuse is really lame."
A chorus of agreement gradually rose.
The way people looked at Chen Yuan also became a little strange, completely regarding him as a scoundrel trying to raise prices on the spot.
In this era, many businesses like to use scarcity marketing, employing the tactic of feigning indifference to lure customers in.
Therefore, everyone instinctively felt that this was Chen Yuan's negotiation strategy.
Chen Yuan neither argued nor got angry.
The main problem is that he simply can't bring himself to take off his clothes in front of so many people.
Chen Yuan originally wanted to refuse.
But then he thought about it again and decided to try a different approach.
After all, his food smelled so good that it would be too cruel to refuse them and let them only smell the aroma but not taste it.
Chen Yuan calmly stood up and walked to an insulated box.
Take out three sealed glass jars and place them steadily on the folding table.
The jar contained a thick, dark red sauce that shimmered like amber in the sunlight.
He unscrewed the lid of one of the jars, and a rich and complex aroma instantly filled the air.
"I'm not making excuses, I really don't have enough energy."
"Please don't make things difficult for me, everyone. This jar of barbecue sauce is a super-purpose sauce that I just made. You can use it; it will definitely enhance the flavor."
