Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 293 - 277: The Power of Grilled Corn (Part 3)

"No wonder Auntie said this corn has a bit of a popcorn taste, it really does..."

Gu Fang didn’t know why there was this special taste.

But the finely stretched cheese would pull into strands every time a corn skewer was separated, becoming longer and longer, looking like a "cheese waterfall" forming between corn skewers, entering the mouth and sticking to the lips and teeth, with a very full wrapping sensation.

"Delicious... it really is delicious." Gu Fang was still immersed in the fine sensations, and when she looked up for acknowledgement, she found Liu Yuerong had finished her corn without her knowing and was eagerly eyeing the big bunch of skewers in Auntie’s hand. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"No..." Auntie twisted her body, clutching the corn skewer and dodging away, "This is mine, I just let you taste it, if you want more we have to get back in line!"

Liu Yuerong chuckled awkwardly, "I didn’t mean that."

Then she moved forward smoothly, after all, it was Auntie who bought the corn just now, and she and Gu Fang hadn’t bought any yet and were still standing in the line.

Basically, they could be categorized as the group that "wanted to try other flavors, so didn’t buy the cheese corn."

The cheese grilled corn was one way, but the spicy-flavored grilled corn, that was another story.

It was also corn kernels skewered with bamboo sticks, but this time Chen Mo, after setting the corn on the cart, took an iron bucket to the grill outside.

"Wow, this corn skewer looks much more satisfying than the previous one!"

"This is what we should be eating, I’m glad I didn’t have the cheese one earlier, this one must be much better."

"Great! I want two hundred skewers!"

"Nonsense, who’s allowing you to buy so many, don’t you know Boss Xiao Chen’s barbecue skewers are limited per person? Today, you’re only allowed one hundred corn skewers per person!"

Some people in the line, clutching their phones, felt like they had money but nowhere to spend it.

Xiao Xin stood there speechless, thinking to himself, I earn four thousand yuan a month, usually can’t afford to eat much barbecue, yet now with Boss Xiao Chen’s grilled corn, I’m only allowed to eat ten yuan’s worth each time?

How does that make sense!

Even Auntie felt the same, looking at the iron bucket Chen Mo brought out, then at the cheese grilled corn in her hand, suddenly feeling... maybe the cheese corn wasn’t quite as fragrant.

Under everyone’s anticipation, they watched Chen Mo grasp the bamboo skewer poking out of the bucket and quickly pulled out a big bunch of corn skewers.

It wasn’t just any ordinary bucket; it was filled with his meticulously crafted spicy sauce!

The corn, soaked for half an hour, was covered with a slightly spicy red layer, dripping with oily red sauce as Chen Mo slapped them directly onto the grill!

The coals beneath sizzled as they absorbed the drippings and moisture, occasionally emitting wisps of smoke that quickly died down again.

Even so, it instantly created a massive amount of oily smoke.

The smoky air carried the wonderful aroma of the spicy sauce through the crowd, the people in line taking deep breaths with their eyes closed, not feeling the slightest irritation, instead experiencing a sensation that chilled them to the bone!

Evening bus service, Route 21.

Hu Jian Country pressed the button to stop by the side, and announced over the bus’s loudspeaker: "This is the street barbecue stall on Construction Road that’s become incredibly popular recently, if you want skewers, hurry up, the bus will stop here for 1 hour, everyone make haste!"

Saying that, Hu Jian Country parked the bus, half on the curb.

Of course, all of this was approved by the company and the traffic police department.

A few days earlier, due to the excessive crowd, the relevant departments decided to officially designate this area as a street night market, ensuring the local residents’ shopping enthusiasm wouldn’t disrupt traffic.

And the route Hu Jian Country took after starting his job, ended right at this spot!

There were even some tourists from other places on the bus, peeking through the windows.

All they saw was a crowd gathered around a yellow food cart, unclear about what it was other than fierce plumes of smoke erupting from it.

Not only did the people outside not dodge it, they actually closed their eyes, lifted their heads, and breathed it in deeply!

"Damn, it’s like a scene from a drug burnout, are they eating this? Feels like a bunch of addicts!"

Hu Jian Country took a closer look.

He thought, it really did look like that!

These people seemed like zombies, devoid of self-awareness, just standing there with closed eyes, breathing deeply.

A bit spooky!
