Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 283 Game World 11

After packing the food, Simon paid the bill and said to Lin Xiaoqian with a look of satisfaction, "I never expected that the Shika tribe would produce such a great gourmet. I am proud to be of the same tribe as you."

'Received a rating of 10 from a diner'

Upon seeing this comment, Lin Xiaoqian's smile became even more genuine. "Thank you for your compliment."

After Simon left, the restaurant fell silent until evening, when Kosyayusi arrived with a group of villagers.

"The villagers have agreed to give you some vegetable seeds and seedlings, but they would like to try the dishes at your restaurant first."

Lin Xiaoqian couldn't stop smiling as she looked at all these people.

"Welcome, welcome. Please come in."

There were about a dozen villagers in this group, totaling more than a hundred points.

Lin Xiaoqian then pulled out a thick menu. "What would you all like to eat? Or would you like to have the pumpkin dishes from lunch?"

A villager took the menu and exclaimed in surprise, "Just as the village chief said, this restaurant has many kinds of dishes!"

"The names of these dishes are truly unheard of."

"I saw the name 'carrot'. I didn't know there were so many ways to cook carrots."

"I want to try the pumpkin custard with egg. My child has been telling me how delicious it is at home, and I want to try it myself to see if it's really that good."

"My child says that baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk tastes better."

The villagers all chimed in with their opinions, but in the end, it was Koshayusi who made the final decision: all the pumpkin dishes the children had eaten for lunch would be made again.

Lin Xiaoqian suddenly remembered the two 9-point reviews and cautiously asked, "Do you have any dietary restrictions? Or are there any ingredients you particularly like? We can cook them in our restaurant."

In Hateno village, most people grow pumpkins, and most villagers just want to try pumpkin dishes; only a few villagers have expressed interest.

"After a day of farm work, I want to eat some meat to restore my energy."

"I like things that are a bit sour. Do you have any sour dishes here?"

There are lots of mushrooms around here, don't you know how to cook mushroom dishes?

“I come from Watori village. I grew up eating fish, but since I got married here, I rarely eat fish anymore. Could you cook a fish dish for me?”

Lin Xiaoqian noted down these thoughts, then quickly returned to the kitchen, put on an apron, and started cooking.

Lin Xiaoqian was already quite skilled at making pumpkin dishes since she had just made them at noon. However, since there were more people this time, she made a larger portion. She made three servings of each of the following: baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk, baked pumpkin with egg custard, and pumpkin, purple sweet potato, and taro balls. As always, she made one bowl of pumpkin, chestnut, and milk glutinous rice balls for each person.

After finishing the dishes, Jiang Shuang and Mo Ying took them out first, and then they started making the other dishes.

One villager said he wanted to eat meat. Lin Xiaoqian made up her mind as soon as she heard this, so she arranged for Zhuang Damao to cut up the fresh beef and mutton that he took out of the warehouse and skewer it.

That's right, it's all about barbecue. There's nothing a barbecue can't solve.

The charcoal fire was already prepared, and Zhuang Damao had also skewered some vegetables. Lin Xiaoqian picked up a handful of meat skewers and a handful of vegetable skewers and placed them on the barbecue grill.

Soon, the meat skewers were grilled until they sizzled and dripped with oil, making a crackling sound as they landed on the charcoal fire. At this point, a sprinkle of spices and seasonings was added, and the aroma instantly filled the air.

The villagers in the lobby were engrossed in eating their pumpkin dishes, not even looking up.

Suddenly smelling such an irresistible barbecue aroma, I instantly felt my stomach empty again, and my mouth started watering uncontrollably.

The pumpkin dish in their hands was incredibly delicious; they had never tasted so many different kinds of pumpkin dishes before, and they could say they had never eaten such delicious ones.

But compared to the aroma of roasted meat, it's still too bland.

The villagers peered curiously into the kitchen, wondering what was going on inside and how it smelled so good.

Kosyausi couldn't hold back any longer and raised his voice to ask, "What's going on inside?"

Liao Zhuang, who works at the cashier, was also tempted by the smell. He swallowed and replied, "They're making barbecue, you know, grilled meat."

"Barbecue? This actually tastes like barbecue."

"I've never smelled barbecue like this before."

"I don't actually like eating grilled meat; it has a burnt and bloody smell. But if it tastes like this, I've decided to try it when it's served later."

After everyone had been waiting anxiously, the barbecue was finally served.

"The meat was cut into thumb-sized pieces and skewered on thin sticks. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone grill meat like this."

"They even have vegetables? Wasn't it supposed to be barbecue?"

Liao Zhuang had intended to sneak into the kitchen to see if there was any leftover barbecue, but upon hearing this, he paused and said, "Everything can be barbecued."

The villagers didn't take it too seriously and quickly each grabbed a skewer of meat.

The meat skewers were still warm from grilling, and the aroma of cumin wafted through the air, making one's mouth water.

Without much thought, they put the meat directly into their mouths, eating chunks of meat one after another, mastering the art of skewering without any instruction.

The meat skewers are grilled to a golden brown and crispy surface, and when you bite into them, a little bit of juice bursts out, while the inside is surprisingly tender.

"Wow, this barbecue tastes so unique. There's no bloody smell at all, just a wonderful aroma. I never knew barbecue could be this delicious."

"The fat inside the meat seems to burst in my mouth, it's so delicious."

"If I had known there would be barbecue, I would have eaten fewer pumpkin, purple sweet potato and taro balls. I feel like I can't eat anymore."

"I've eaten quite a few pumpkin dishes, but I think I can still eat a lot of meat skewers."

"Luckily, Natsyuki said he wanted to eat meat, otherwise we would have missed out on this delicious food."

Natsuyuki was a slightly overweight man with a bowl cut. He worked in the fields year-round, which was very physically demanding, so he loved to eat meat. Right now, he was engrossed in eating and had no time to chat with his companions.

Kosyausi also really enjoyed the grilled meat in front of him, and even ate several skewers in a row, but he couldn't help but frown when he saw the plate gradually being filled with the remaining vegetable skewers.

This won't do. His original intention was to get everyone to like eating vegetables, but everyone is only eating roasted meat. If that's the case, then this recipe must not be taught to the villagers under any circumstances.

Although the cashier said that everything can be grilled, he had eaten vegetables grilled over a fire before and didn't think they were particularly delicious.

However, considering that the barbecue that everyone had been pessimistic about was actually more delicious than expected, he decided to give it a try.

There were some vegetables on the plate that he didn't recognize, probably new ingredients that Lin Xiaoqian and his friends had found during their trip. He felt it was safer to choose vegetables that he recognized.

So he picked up a skewer of carrots. The carrots were roasted until translucent, their skin glistening with oil, the edges slightly charred and curled, and finely chopped dark green spices were evenly sprinkled on top.

He blew on it gently, then tentatively took a bite. The crisp carrot broke apart between his teeth with a soft crack, and the caramelized skin wrapped around the sweet inside, mixed with the spices sprinkled on top. Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

I never expected grilled vegetables to taste so good. Kosayasi nodded as he ate.
