Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 292 - 277: The Power of Grilled Corn (Part 2)

Chapter 292: Chapter 277: The Power of Grilled Corn (Part 2)

Retracting his scattered thoughts, the golden kernels of corn on the grill began to emit a strong aroma of corn as they roasted.

Chen Mo flipped all the corn skewers over to continue roasting.

In fact, using small skewers for grilling has the advantage of cooking faster. If you were to grill with large cobs, it would take at least 20 minutes, which isn’t friendly for those rushing to complete a task.

Chen Mo’s method of grilling corn involves not using oil, relying solely on heat to cook the kernels.

After flipping, wait for the corn aroma to become strong again, then flip again!

A large bag of cheese sticks was brought over and evenly spread by hand over a thousand corn skewers. The side just flipped over was still very hot, causing the cheese sticks to quickly soften and melt upon encountering the high temperature.

They melted from distinct pieces into a single sticky layer.

The melted yellow cheese wrapped around all the thousand corn skewers, blending the natural corn aroma with the cheese fragrance.

Some people had no reaction; after all, cheese, whether in taste or flavor, is somewhat niche and not to everyone’s liking.

But for some dessert-loving girls, it’s a different story.

"Oh my, isn’t this authentic cheesy baked corn? This stuff would cost at least thirty or forty in a regular shop, right?"

This time, the little aunt was more enthusiastic.

"A hundred, I want a hundred!"

Cheese-flavored grilled corn is that simple, but Chen Mo had one last step.

Sprinkle sugar!

Low-sweetness white sugar was evenly sprinkled over the surface of the cheese; although the temperature was high, it didn’t melt immediately.

Previously, Chen Mo had arranged them in groups of a hundred skewers, which was quite convenient now.

"Help yourself, I have to go inside to take care of the corn."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man at the front of the line hesitated for a moment, then slightly turned sideways, "This spot is still mine, I don’t like sweet things, I’ll wait for the spicy ones."

"I’ll do it, I’ll do it!"

The little aunt, second in line, reached out to grab a big handful of corn kernels, which were neatly grouped by a hundred skewers.

When picking up the skewers, she tore the cheese off the surface, pulling out long strands, and awkwardly rolled the hundred skewers of corn she held for quite some time before breaking the cheese.

Nonetheless, her big bunch of corn kernels turned into "cheese-wrapped corn."

This didn’t hinder consumption. The little aunt deftly picked a skewer, using her tongue to lick off the stringy cheese, leaving some young men wide-eyed.

Biting down hard on the base of the bamboo stick with her teeth, an entire skewer of cheese-wrapped corn kernels fell into her mouth.

"Hiss..."

The freshly grilled cheese and corn were still a bit hot, but fortunately, it was within the little aunt’s acceptable range.

"How is it, does it taste good?"

Gu Fang and Liu Yuerong were standing in front, taking deep breaths but not daring to eat it.

Cheese, by the looks of it alone, seemed high in calories, and just one bite would mean two extra hours of exercise. Gu Fang had some self-restraint regarding such high-calorie items.

But asking if it tasted good was still fine.

The little aunt smacked her lips after finishing one skewer, seemingly unsure about the taste, then took out three more skewers and swallowed them all at once.

"Tsk..."

"It’s hard to describe."

Staring blankly at the corn skewers, the little aunt pondered for a long time and, slightly bewildered, looked at Gu Fang and the others, "It just feels like a rich, creamy taste, very thick, and a bit like popcorn, you know? Oh, I don’t know how to explain it. Why don’t you try it and see?"

Generously, the little aunt handed a small bunch to Gu Fang.

The latter looked at the forcibly handed corn skewer, and two little personas began arguing in her mind.

The black figure was indignant, "This was given to us, how can we not eat it? It would be impolite not to eat it, even if it’s just out of courtesy!"

The white figure, looking righteous, said, "So what if someone else gave it? Does that mean you can eat it? Have you forgotten your job? You’re a yoga instructor. What about your figure?"

The black figure was immediately unconvinced, "It’s just one meal, what’s the harm? It’s not like we eat it every day!"

The white figure still wanted to speak up, but unexpectedly, the black figure directly pulled out a sword from its trousers and stabbed at it. Gu Fang looked up in a daze at Liu Yuerong, "What she’s saying makes some sense. How else can you describe the taste of food other than trying it yourself?"

"But didn’t you say that cheese’s calorie count is the scariest?" Liu Yuerong wavered.

"Discussing calories without considering portions is just playing tricks. We don’t have to eat a lot, just a little bit."

Seeing Sister Liu still hesitant, Gu Fang threw out a final assurance, "Surely, we can’t let the little aunt’s good intentions go to waste, right?"

The little aunt nodded enthusiastically nearby, her mouth full.

"Alright then!"

Both of them had their inner white figures vanquished, instantly letting their darker sides take over, and they devoured a skewer of corn kernels in one gulp.

Delicious!

Gu Fang finally understood why the little aunt said it was difficult to describe and express.

The taste of this cheese-grilled corn differed entirely from the cheesy corn bake in restaurants.

The rich, creamy aroma of the melted cheese wrapped in buttery smoothness formed a warm and dense flavor base. Gu Fang chewed vigorously, noticing that the corn kernels had developed a thin, crispy caramelized shell, and as she bit down, a gentle crackling sound ensued. Inside, it was still tender and juicy!
