Chapter 119
Marinated beef and mutton were skewered into a row of barbecued meats, which were slowly roasted by the bonfire. As it was roasted, oil began to sizzle out. Under the high temperature, the fatty meat started to exude a delicious scent.
[Yu Feng: F*ck, this scent is really unbearable. When can we eat?!!]
[Wei Yu Zhaozhao: I hadn’t been able to get in more than a few bites when they were all snatched away by the Rutes. We can’t let them take away the barbecue again! ]
[Wait until the fireworks are cool: I hope Tang Tang can cook some more, it’s really too fragrant!]
“It’s ready to eat.” Ruan Tang put the grilled meat skewers on a plate. A bunch of beef and mutton skewers were grilled until they were golden. Sprinkled with a little cumin and minced pepper, the smell of roast meat became even stronger. As soon as one was set on the table, everyone couldn’t wait to reach out and snatch it away.
These meats had been marinated in advance, and the heat control was excellent. Not only did they taste delicious, but the texture was also smooth and tender. With each mouthful, you could taste the delicate texture of the meat as well as the delicious taste of the marinade that flooded the mouth with its flavor. Barbecued meat was very different from boiled meat. The meat was tenderer, succulent and full of juice, but with a slight char. The cumin sprinkled over it gave it a distinctive flavor. The smell of barbeque began to permeate the entire area.
[Yue Mingya: Oh my god, this barbecue is really delicious!]
[Porcelain again: Can you eat such delicious meat just by marinating the meat and grilling it on a skewer?]
[Ethereal: It’s even better than the hot pot last time! Super favorite!]
The barbecue was indeed very popular. Ruan Tang grilled a large plate and it was gone in the blink of an eye. Not only did the audience mourn in the live chat, but the people eating together also wanted to eat more.
In the end, they all sat around the campfire together. They each took a skewer and filled it with meat and roasted it over the fire. They ate while grilling. Somehow, it had a different kind of charm.
However, the viewers watching the live broadcast were very pitiful. The meats would be eaten as soon as they finished grilling, leaving the viewers with nothing…
[Star Chasing Girl YOGA: Huhuhuhu, why are you doing this to me?]
[Jia Xiaoxuan: I want to eat barbecue! I want to eat barbecue! [Knock bowl.jpg]]
The program team probably conveyed the audience’s grievances to Ruan Tang. Ruan Tang whispered a few words to He Yun Chen next to him. He Yun Chen put down his barbecue and stood up and followed Ruan Tang to the side. Ruan Tang found a stone with a smooth and flat surface but a relatively hard texture, and handed it to He Yun Chen.
He Yun Chen took out his light blade and cut the stone like tofu.
[Mo Rilan: What magical development is this?]
[Ink stone: They were grilling meats so well. Why did they suddenly start chopping stones?]
[Seven treasures: Don’t tell me this stone can also be eaten?]
[Little transparent: To the commenter above, hurry and wash your brain out …]
After He Yun Chen made two smooth slabs from that stone, Ruan Tang asked the smart robot to take the slab to the side of the stream to clean it. He then put the cleaned slab on the fire to bake.
[Dan Moran: He isn’t really baking it to eat it, right? Is the stone of this planet also an ingredient?]
The audience were all confused, wondering what Ruan Tang was doing. The other guests were the same. They took a curious look at Ruan Tang and He Yun Chen, but they didn’t ask questions because of their trust in Ruan Tang.
Soon the stone started to smoke. Ruan Tang moved the stone aside with a wooden stick, and after brushing a layer of oil on the surface of the slate, he put the pieces of meat that they weren’t able to skewer onto the slate.
When the sliced meat met the hot slate, it immediately began steam. After the surface of the sliced meat began to change color, Ruan Tang skillfully turned the sliced meat with chopsticks. He Yun Chen sat next to him, grilling the meat slices in a similar way. Not long after, they had grilled a large plate of meat slices. Sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, the taste was just as good.
Ruan Tang even made some sweet sauce. After adding various seasonings, he managed to make some barbeque dipping sauce. Eating the barbeque with a bit of sauce was truly delicious.
[Who moved my chicken leg: Damn it! Isn’t my Tang Tang so smart? He even thought up such a clever way to grill barbeque!]
[Miao Miao Loves to Eat all the dishes of the Anchor: What’s important is that we can finally eat meat!]
[Can’t stop Hugging Trees: Yes! Tang Tang, I will love you for ten thousand years!]
With these eating champions led by Gilbert dozens of kilograms of barbecued meat were wiped out. After eating and drinking their fill, everyone sat or lay down on the ground while holding their stomachs. No one wanted to move.
Looking at the beautiful blue sky and white clouds, the verdant green grass dotted with flowers; listening to the sound of flowing water — this wonderful feeling of tranquility was simply beyond words.
“Oh my god, it’s so pretty here! I don’t want to go back! Otherwise, should I be a participant on your show too? I don’t want money! It’ll be completely free of charge!” Gilbert said earnestly.
“What else would you do besides eat?” He Yun Chen refused indifferently.
“I … I can work!”
In order to prove that he was a useful person, Gilbert, who had eaten his fill and was now full of energy that he had nowhere to vent, immediately took his trusted subordinates and started to work.
It turns out that Gilbert did have brilliant architectural talent. Even without any drawings, he built a luxurious “stone pavilion” by hand. The Rutes had extraordinary strength. He found huge stones, and then used the light blades borrowed from He Yun Chen to shape the stones into the shape they needed. Finally, they created a stone gazebo with four stone pillars supporting a roof. The stone pillars were connected by long stone benches. A stone table was created in the middle with another four stone benches. Gilbert and the others had designed the roof of the pavilion to be a rounded dome. It looked like a North European style of build. It looked quite beautiful.
While everyone was still lying down, willing everything they ate to digest, their four Rute guests had already constructed a stone pavilion. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
“Hahaha, come and see this table!” Gilbert proudly called them over to take a look at their “masterpiece”.
The round stone table turned out to be hollow in the middle. It had a removable slate covering the middle part. After the slate was opened, charcoal or firewood can be placed in the space below. Gilbert explained that this was so that barbeques in the future would be much more convenient…
It was truly filled with a foodie’s spirit.
“Not bad.” He Yun Chen gave him rare praise. “Come to our camp later and build one for us.”
The place where they ate now was near Chen Yu and Cao Jun’s camp, so this pavilion was also built on the grassland. This was a bit of a distance from Ruan Tang’s camp and it wouldn’t be convenient to come here.
This pavilion was really useful. It could provide not only cover from the sun but also from the rain. It was very comfortable to lie down in during the afternoons, so it was best to build one near their camp.
“No problem!” Gilbert promised with a clap to his chest. He then looked at Ruan Tang with his bright eyes, “Then dinner …?”
“Dinner is packed.”
“Great!”
With the enticement of food, Gilbert was full of motivation. He stayed at the Aquamarine Planet for two full days and built eight full pavilions. Not only did they build one near each camp, they also built some around some scenic spots to provide a good resting spot for tourists later on.
And because of his ingenious design, these past two days, all around the Aquamarine planet …
… the smell of cumin barbecue wafted about.
The program team was completely shameless. Later, when promoting travel to the Aquamarine Planet, the barbecue and gazebo were added as highlights.
