Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe Chapter 87 87: Sakura People Conquered by Kebabs

Although Lunard felt the sa way, he thought, could you give your boss a little face in front of so many people??

Lin Chen saw his face turn blue then white, and hurriedly tried to make ands: "It's normal, you've been selling your barbecue for so many years, you're probably tired of it. Suddenly trying a new flavor must be refreshing. If it were , I'd find these skewers just okay too."

"Is that so? That makes so sense."

Neo nodded thoughtfully, and the wrinkles on Lunard's face slowly relaxed.

"You're the one who knows what to say. Alright, I won't disturb your work then. See you tomorrow!"

Lunard didn't order any vegetables, just three skewers of at, finishing two on the spot in the food truck, and walked back with the last skewer with at on it, soon driving away.

A few minutes later, it seed Sakura Food Truck was done too, with Hanama Ai and the man seen last ti walking over, just as Lin Chen was about to call them.

"Perfect timing. Skewers are ready; there are quite a few. Do you need a box?"

The man nodded, "Pack them please, we'll have them on the way back."

"Alright, please wait a mont."

Lin Chen took out four disposable kraft paper boxes, packing their at and vegetables separately, and handed them over after putting them in a bag.

Lucas had also prepared the milk teas Sakura Beauty ordered in advance, one jasmine green milk tea with less sugar and ice, and one waterlon coconut with less ice and regular sugar.

"Thank you, wish your businesses flourish."

They politely bowed slightly and left with their food.

A few seconds later, their food truck also disappeared at the end of the road.

"Oh, how annoying!"

Lucas, having run out of another bucket of ice, ca up to get more, complaining a bit.

"Why don't those Japanese people cause trouble, really feel like cursing!"

"?"

Lin Chen gave him a curious look, "Didn't realize you had such preferences? Isn't it good they didn't cause trouble? Don't be so restless, stay calm."

"No, but they're from Sakura Country!"

"So? Every country has good and bad people. As Great Xia people, we just need to rember history, not hold inherent hostility. Be vigilant, but don't provoke. You need more practice, amateur."

anwhile.

Nakamura Arita and Hanama Ai returned to the restaurant with the food still warm, walking into the back kitchen.

"Boss, we brought the food back; it's still hot, please try it."

Nakamura Arita respectfully handed over the bag with both hands, and the middle-aged man in a black chef's uniform with a bandana took it, bringing it to his nose for a sniff.

"Hmm, top-quality beef and lamb, fresh and clean, not over-marinated, highlighting the ingredient's natural aromas. What's in the other bag?"

"That's vegetables: potato slices, lotus root slices, green beans, and mushrooms."

"Superb, excellent chef!"

The middle-aged man quickly opened the box, his eyes shining as he beheld the BBQ skewers.

"Visually, the grilling is perfect, with slightly charred edges and the at clearly retaining its juices and elasticity. The vegetables aren't dry or greasy, with a captivating aroma. Clearly, careful selection was made for flavor."

"No doubt, this skewer of beef and onion must be their signature?"

He imdiately noticed the best-looking cut of at, with layers of white fat interspersed with the beef, emitting a tantalizing aroma.

"As expected from the boss!"

Nakamura Arita and Hanama Ai were full of admiration. Without questions, just by observing the food, he could gauge the skill of an unseen chef. Impressive!

"These are just basic skills, not worth praising. Ai, bring your skewers; I'll heat them. BBQ is best enjoyed when it's scorching hot."

At this mont, they noticed the air above the grill next to him warping—clearly, it was still turned on.

"Yes! Please!"

On the way, the aroma of barbecue wafted through the cab, and Hanama Ai was long craving it, especially the rich scents of cumin and chili powder, starkly different from Sakura Country's sweet barbecue sauce.

The boss, with skilled movents, lined up all the skewers of at and vegetables on the grill, turning them every ten seconds, fanning them with a small fan to control the heat.

In just a minute, the previously warm skewers were reheated.

The man took two clean porcelain plates, slid the skewers off, and signaled for them to co over.

"Thanks for your hard work today, don't be formal, let's enjoy together."

"Yes!"

"Boss, here is a cup of milk tea and a cup of waterlon coconut milk."

"Hmm, I'll skip the milk tea, you can have it, we get to drink it often."

The man, his eyes fixed intently on the beef, picked up a piece with chopsticks, taking seared onions along.

"Pop"

Scorching beef fat burst instantly, its surface crispy, with an incredibly tender interior, releasing the beef and fat aroma perfectly.

The crisp, sweet onion added a delightful touch, reining in the beef fat before it beca too greasy.

A few flecks of crushed chili and cumin embedded, releasing their scent gradually with chewing, transforming the flavor again.

The more they chewed, the more pronounced the charcoal aroma beca.

"Superb, superb! Truly a skilled chef!"

The man nodded repeatedly in admiration, sampling a few different skewers before setting down his chopsticks, eating no more.

"I'm satisfied. The rest is for you two, don't waste food. If it's not enough, grab so bento from the front to take ho."

With that, he stood and headed to the office, imrsing himself in note-taking, seemingly recording inspiration.

Nakamura Arita and Hanama Ai exchanged a glance, silently divided the remaining food, eagerly extending their chopsticks toward the succulent beef chunks.

"!!!"

"Oh my!!"

Just a single bite, and they were already astonished by the unparalleled taste.

They've had Great Xia's barbecue before, plenty selling grilled lamb skewers in Chinatown, but those heavily marinated tasted not fresh.

This style, almost devoid of extraneous seasoning, leveraging the ingredients' original flavor, was more suited to Sakura People's taste.

"Mr. Arita, try this mushroom; it's amazing. How do they grill it with so much juice?"

"Indeed incredible! These potato slices are delightful too, and the green beans, though wrinkly and average-looking, are soft and juicy inside—utterly exceptional!"
