Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 163 - 131: A Certain Video Leaves the Regulars Defenseless

"First, it was grilled squid bigger than my face, then a whole grilled yellow croaker, and watermelon juice."

"Just over an hour after finishing eating, you're telling me to have supper, and it's all heavy dishes. After I polished off a bowl of rice, you bring me such a big pot of hearty food?"

She was truly speechless, never had she eaten so much in her life, it even felt like the last supper.

Is it really okay to eat so well in the middle of the night?

Won't they sell me off somewhere?

Even for a slender girl like her, Lucas, the tall guy, was now burping nonstop.

Blood duck and stir-fried assorted meats were just too appetizing. For every bite of meat, you had to scoop up a couple of mouthfuls of rice to be satisfied.

The girls could only manage two or three bites of chicken, and he was feeling smug, thinking he'd get to eat a few more pieces. But the amount of duck in this dish completely exceeded his expectations.

This wasn't just a pot; saying it was the size of a cauldron wouldn't be an exaggeration!

"Ah, people live to eat after all, like the saying goes, food is the paramount necessity of the people. Fresh duck has to be cooked immediately. Everyone should have a taste, whatever's left can go in the fridge and be eaten tomorrow."

Lin Chen felt like he was a mother hen, experiencing the feeling of urging others to eat.

Besides, he had to stay up to prepare breakfast tonight. After serving breakfast tomorrow, he'd need to catch up on sleep, could wake up anytime, maybe not until evening, possibly not until Saturday morning.

Letting the chickens and ducks go hungry for two days felt too cruel, plus, on Saturday he had to prepare to formally set the restaurant's buffet menu, many things to do.

After consideration, the only option was to butcher them now.

A short pain is better than a prolonged one.

Although everyone was already stuffed, faced with a whole pot of beer-braised spicy duck, the alluring aroma kept wafting to their noses, they couldn't help but reach out with their chopsticks, one after another.

"Hey, at least it's something I killed myself, gotta try it."

"I've never eaten freshly butchered duck in my life, can't let the duck die in vain."

"Since it's been made, not eating feels wasteful, just try a piece."

"Anyway, it's not costing me anything, might as well eat."

For Jiang Shuqi and Lucas, the duck only tasted normal, you could find it at any roadside restaurant in Great Xia.

But for Dais and Elsa, it was a completely new experience.

Whether it was psychological or not, the duck meat felt particularly tender in the mouth, melting there.

Although the sauce outside was strongly flavored, within the meat you could taste a faint malt aroma. Couldn't taste any gamey duck flavor, just pure deliciousness.

Duck skin is way thicker than chicken skin, the chewiness is a completely different kind of resilience.

With white cut chicken after being soaked in cold water, the skin is crispy and springy, duck skin is the opposite, soft and chewy with a resilient springiness.

"Is this the texture of fresh duck meat? Amazing!!"

"Such a pity, wanted to eat a few more pieces, but my stomach's about to explode..."

"If you can't eat any more, don't force it."

Lin Chen scooped half a bowl of rice first, mixed it with the leftovers of chicken offal, duck offal, and duck blood, then topped it with a few pieces of duck meat, eating and shoveling rice at the same time.

Seeing everyone almost yue out, he hurriedly waved his hand: "You've tasted the flavors, that's enough. The rest can be finished off with some rice tomorrow."

"Oh right, I'm making breakfast tomorrow morning. If you can get up, remember to come have some, around seven or eight."

"What? Making breakfast again??"

Lucas shouted out.

"Don't worry, you don't need to prepare, just come and shoot the serving video then."

"You don't need me, right, that's good."

Lucas clearly breathed a sigh of relief, nowadays who wants to get up early.

"By the way, what breakfast are you making? You seem really into making breakfast lately."

"Nothing else to do, idle time is idle time. Just doing market research, plus promoting our Great Xia breakfast culture, tomorrow it's fresh fish soup noodles, ever heard of it?"

"Hmm? You're making that?"

Jiang Shuqi raised an eyebrow, looking at him surprised: "I've had it a few times, tastes quite good, kind of like fish soup version of spicy soup with rice noodles, very appetizing in the morning, especially for coastal dwellers, it can dispel dampness."

"Outside Jiangcheng, I've rarely seen places making this, heard the process is complicated, takes a long time, and you can't sell it for much."

"Impressive, worthy of being a travel blogger, knows everything."

Lin Chen was genuinely impressed by this lady, cite a dish and she knows the details. No wonder she's popular.

Unlike some people, just know how to sleep in.

"Compared to other breakfasts, the preparation time for fresh fish soup noodles is indeed longer, but if you say it's complicated, not really, mainly the cooking time is long."

Upon hearing it wasn't complicated, Lucas, who felt a bit sorry, instantly felt balanced.

"So it's basically just stewing? That's great, convenient."

At this point, everyone was truly stuffed, Dais and Elsa proactively collected the bowls and dishes to the kitchen to clean. The back kitchen had a fully automatic dishwasher, so they didn't have to do much, just place them on it.

Lucas followed Jiang Shuqi back to continue learning how to edit videos, while Lin Chen waited for the dishes to be cleaned before accompanying the two women back to the hotel, pretending to rest.

It was still early, Boss Magna's fishing boat had just set sail, it wouldn't be back until at least one or two in the morning.
