Rice Noodle Tracker Group.

"Where did Boss Wang go, does anyone have any news?"

"Present and waiting, went to Harbin for over a week before the New Year. Although I love braised meat, making a trip there didn't seem worthwhile."

"Same here, I'm already waiting for Boss Wang to update his location. If it's within 500 kilometers, I'll arrange it directly."

"@Shen Yu, Group Leader, do you have any news about Boss Wang?"

Shen Yu checked his penguin messages and unexpectedly found an elephant profile picture requesting to be friends.

Could this be Boss Wang?

Opening it, the friend request was indeed from Wang Fan.

"Whoa! Boss Wang, in the flesh!"

He hadn't checked his penguin for the past few days, and surprisingly Boss Wang had indeed added him.

"Ahem…"

With nothing to do while waiting for the meat to marinate, Wang Fan was playing on his phone when suddenly he heard a cough, and then the penguin icon began flashing intensely.

"Hello Boss Wang! Sorry, I've been too busy with New Year's greetings to check the penguin."

Wang Fan replied, "No worries, being busy during New Year's is normal."

"I'll add you to the group."

With that, Shen Yu added Wang Fan to the Rice Noodle Tracker group and tagged everyone.

"@everyone, dear friends, I've brought Boss Wang in, hahaha."

"??? Is this Boss Wang himself?"

"The group leader is this impressive?"

"Hello Boss Wang! Where are you playing now?"

Messages flooded the screen rapidly, almost overwhelming Wang Fan.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Fan. I'm currently on the summit of Mount Tai. If you have time, feel free to come and visit."

After sending the message, Wang Fan felt it was a bit dry, so he recalled taking lots of photos while climbing Mount Tai today and posted them in the group.

"These are pictures I took while climbing Mount Tai today, the scenery is great. This is the lamb I'm marinating, I'll try grilling it tonight and share the photos with you later."

After saying this, he opened the camera and took several shots of the lamb in the bowl.

Wang Fan's photography skills weren't particularly great, but the camera was good, and most importantly, the scenery was stunning. There was no need to worry about composition or exposure; just a casual shot felt like a beautiful masterpiece.

If Harbin is a fresh and dreamy kingdom, then Mount Tai in winter is an icebound fairyland that people fantasize about, and the beauty of nature is equally breathtaking.

"Wow, is Mount Tai this beautiful in winter? I went once last May Day, and to be honest, my only feeling was that the person in front of me had really stinky farts."

"Hahaha, couldn't you stay away from the fart smell?"

"I wanted to keep my distance, but there was no room to move, and it rained for three days. I didn't even get to see the sunrise!"

Well…

Seeing the message from this buddy, Wang Fan felt a bit sympathetic: "I didn't encounter anyone when I climbed today, it was like I had the place to myself. I just checked the weather forecast, I should be able to see the sunrise tomorrow morning, I'll take pictures for you guys."

"The sunrise isn't important, I mainly want to see what Boss Wang's grilled skewers look like."

"Exactly, I've collected Boss Wang's rice noodles, steamed bun, and braised meat. I'm one of Boss Wang's first fans, and there's no way I'm missing these grilled skewers."

"Is there a cable car to the top of Mount Tai? I'm afraid I won't make it climbing all the way up."

"Do you really need a cable car for mere Mount Tai? You could summit in no time."

"I hope you're still this tough-talking after you get to Mount Tai."

Wang Fan found the chat interesting, but now his skewers were almost ready: "Guys, keep chatting, my skewers are almost marinated, I'm gonna skewer and grill some to test the taste."

After sending the message, he put his phone aside.

He took out bamboo skewers and started skewering the meat.

Wang Fan skewered the meat very systematically, with a piece of lamb fat sandwiched between two pieces of lean meat, four lean and three fatty pieces on each skewer, giving the skewers a pleasing look with the rosy, tender lean meat interspersed with snowy white lamb fat.

The onions and apples in the marinade weren't much, barely covering the slight gaminess of the lamb and adding a refreshing hint of apple aroma.

Once the lamb skewers were done, he put them in a food preservation box nearby, which was much more useful than a refrigerator.

After skewering the meat, Wang Fan was also hungry; this process, to be honest, was time-consuming.

With Wang Fan's single twenty-something hands, he could only skewer about 300 sticks per hour.

And it was already 10 PM.

Turning on the electric grill, the bottom of the grill lit up instantly, and the hot air surged out, immediately warming the previously chilly room.

Wang Fan was delighted, the system's product never disappoints, just the speed of starting the fire was a win itself.

After feeling the grill temperature with his hand, he took out 30 lamb skewers and placed them evenly on the grill.

His skewers hadn't been frozen, so of course, they wouldn't need to thaw, and the high heat of the grill quickly transferred to the skewers. In no time, the lamb skewers began making a sizzling sound, the sound of fat melting at high temperatures, a sound that to foodies is music to the ears.

The grease on the lamb gathered quickly, with pure lamb oils dripping onto the grill, making a "sizzz" sound.

Some of the lamb oil was absorbed by the lean meat on both sides, creating a magical effect of having both grilled and fried textures.

The aroma of onions and apples was also activated by the hot grill, filling the air with the fragrance of barbecue.

"Sizzle, sizzle…"

The lamb skewers on the grill kept making sounds, the originally rosy lean meat and white fat have changed color now.

The lean meat started to turn white, and the fat began to take on a yellowish hue.

Soon, the lean meat also began to have a golden color, while the fat turned into an irresistible crispy brown.

Sniffing the air, Wang Fan was certain that the skewers were now at a perfect 70% doneness, and only a minute had passed.

The spices were neatly placed under the grill, within arm's reach. Pinching a handful of cumin, he swiftly sprinkled it over the sizzling lamb skewers.

Cumin lives up to its name as the golden partner of lamb, it's indeed a heavenly match. It's like a key unlocking the savory flavor of lamb, kicking open Wang Fan's taste buds.

It felt like a gentle breeze passed through his nose, bringing a slight, spicy scent, with a strong penetrating power that made its aroma seem to infuse every corner of the air without any dead angles.

Wang Fan exaggeratedly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and exclaimed, "Amazing, my friend, if I can barely handle this, how will the diners manage?"
