Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 145-Roasted Eggplant is Definitely a Hard Dish

Zheng Qian almost cried when he took the first bite of mutton.

For so many years, grilled lamb skewers have been eaten by dogs. How can the grilled lamb skewers on the top of Mount Tai be so delicious?
That's a mouthful of juice, isn't it?!

"Boss, this kebab is absolutely amazing! It's the first time I've ever eaten a kebab that was so juicy. It was so delicious after taking a bite."

Zheng Qian's reaction was within Wang Fan's expectations.

Today's kebabs are indeed different from yesterday's.

Yesterday Wang Fan ordered lamb leg, but today he ordered lamb belly.

Lamb legs have more lean meat and are more suitable for making marinated skewers. Lamb belly has alternating fat and lean meat, making it the best choice for making fresh grilled skewers.

Under Wang Fan's perfect control of the heat, the surface of the mutton skewers was quickly roasted to a crispy state, and most of the mutton fat was locked into the meat, making it truly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with every mouthful of fat flowing out.

"The texture of this skewer is incredible. Not only is it juicy, but it also has a subtle crunch. That snap when you put it in your mouth is absolutely devastating."

There were also two guys who got 100 skewers from the first batch, and they were also there praising the food generously.

"This tastes amazing. I thought electric grills could only be used to coat skewers with sauce, but I didn't expect Boss Wang to be able to make them so delicious using an electric grill."

After giving the freshly grilled oysters to Zheng Qian and the other two, Wang Fan estimated the time and felt that the ones who had made reservations in the group would be arriving soon, so he said to those still in line, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. The next batch of skewers was reserved by someone else."

"Ah? This can still be reserved?"

Wang Fan explained: "Yes, there is a penguin group. They sent a message early in the morning, and they should be here soon."

"Damn, tell me the group number, I want to join the group too."

"I just did some searching, and it seems this shop is quite famous. The only problem is that the boss likes to move around. He basically stays in one place for a week at most before moving to another place. Not only does he change the place, he even changes the food he makes."

"What the hell, boss, are you that kind of person?"

Wang Fan said, "I prefer to travel around and see the sights. I set up a stall to make money while traveling around. But now I haven't been to many places, only the capital, Harbin and here."

As they were talking, Shen Teng, Chen Kai, and Cong Fu came over. Cong Fu smiled and greeted Wang Fan: "Good morning, Boss Wang."

Before Wang Fan could say anything, he added, "Boss Wang, your barbecue skewers have really ruined me."

Wang Fan looked at him in confusion. Cong Fu laughed out loud, "Let me tell you, I always go hiking on the first day and take photos of the sunrise the next morning. Except for the rare occasions when the weather forecast was inaccurate, I couldn't take photos. But didn't I take some skewers from your place last night? I got drunk that night and didn't even get up in the morning. This is the first time I haven't been able to take photos of the sunrise the next day due to human factors."

Wang Fan smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. If you want to take it away again tonight, I won't sell it to you."

Cong Fu quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, no, no, when can we not take pictures of the sunrise? You can't eat Boss Wang's barbecue every day. I originally planned to stay in Mount Tai for two days, but because Boss Wang is here, I extended my room until Friday."

Shen Teng laughed: "Me too, I asked my girlfriend to come too, she should be here this afternoon. Boss Wang, can you arrange some grilled leeks in addition to oysters?"

"The roasted leeks should be ready tomorrow. I'm going to make the topping for the roasted leeks tonight."

He was preparing to grill vegetables like leeks, see you tomorrow, and peppers, but they all needed a dressing. He wasn't satisfied with yesterday's roast potatoes, which was why he didn't write anything on the sign today. As Wang Fan spoke, he placed the lamb skewers on the grill and fished the freshly washed oysters out of the water and placed them in the corner of the grill.

Seeing this, Chen Kai, Cong Fu, Shen Teng and those who were queuing lost interest in talking and just stared at the skewers and oysters on the grill.

After arranging the meat skewers and oysters, there was still a little space on the grill, so Wang Fan put an eggplant on it.

He ordered 50 kilograms of eggplants, which is about 150 pieces. Today's supply was also sent to the group, but I don't know if there are many barbecue stalls in this world that roast eggplants. In any case, eggplants became the one that no one wanted.

How can this be allowed? No vegetables can be allowed to rot in your hands!

At 3 yuan per pound, this is 150 yuan. And the money is not the point. The point is that it is shameful to waste!
The most important thing is that the roasted eggplant is delicious, and he won’t allow anyone to miss out on this delicacy.

Seeing Wang Fan put a long, black eggplant on the oven, the people at the door of the store were a little confused.

Cong Fu pointed at the eggplant and said in surprise: "Boss Wang, this eggplant can be grilled?"

“This is the first time I’ve seen roasted eggplant.”

"This is the first time I've seen this either. The barbecue stall downstairs has been open for 20 years and I've never seen them grill eggplants."

"Will this be delicious if grilled?"

"Eh...it's so dark and disgusting. How about we peel it first?"

Wang Fan smiled and didn't explain: "You'll know when I finish baking it."

Taking out the bowl of oil, Wang Fan brushed a layer of oil on the eggplant, and then used a small knife to poke a few small holes in the eggplant.

After putting the food down, I turned the skewers over and continued to wait for them to be cooked.

The eggplant's skin began to wrinkle under high temperature roasting. I picked up the knife again and cut the eggplant in half, revealing the yellow and white eggplant flesh inside. Compared with the black and purple skin, the eggplant flesh inside looked much more pleasing to the eye.

The mutton skewers were almost done by this time, and they were sprinkled with seasonings and taken down and distributed to Congfu and the other two. The three of them stood there, reluctant to leave, and ate the skewers while waiting for their grilled oysters, and also took the opportunity to see how the grilled eggplant looked.

This made the guy behind them extremely greedy. The meat smelled strong to begin with, and there were three people in front of them eating the skewers with big mouthfuls. It was a double torture, and he was about to burst into tears of envy.

Wang Fan had already piled a layer of raw garlic sauce on the eggplant. The eggplant itself did not have a strong flavor, and the garlic sauce gave it a new soul.

Use a spoon to spread a layer of garlic chili sauce on it, and the garlic chili roasted eggplant is officially ready.

Just as I was about to try the taste myself, Zhuo Qianqian came running over with two freshly skewered meats.

Zhuo Qianqian stared at the eggplant, opened her mouth wide and kept tapping the eggplant with her delicate chin, looking quirky and very lovable.

Wang Fan was also amused by her funny look. He took out a pair of disposable chopsticks and picked up a piece of grilled eggplant with his chopsticks.
