The first bite of lamb, Zheng Qian almost burst into tears.

All these years eating grilled lamb skewers, might as well have been feeding them to a dog. How can these skewers on the peak of Mount Tai be so delicious?

That was truly a burst of juice, wasn't it?!

"Boss, these skewers are absolutely amazing. It's my first time experiencing such a juicy explosion from a grilled lamb skewer. Wow, that bite was truly exhilarating."

Zheng Qian's reaction was exactly what Wang Fan anticipated.

The skewers today were indeed different from yesterday's.

Yesterday, Wang Fan ordered leg of lamb, but today he ordered lamb belly.

Leg of lamb has more lean meat, making it more suitable for marinated skewers, while lamb belly, with its mix of fat and lean, is the perfect choice for freshly grilled skewers.

Under Wang Fan's perfect control of the heat, the outer layer of the skewers quickly turned crispy, while most of the lamb fat was locked inside the meat, achieving a truly crispy outside with a tender, juicy inside.

"The texture of these skewers is unbeatable. Not only do they burst with juice, but there's also a subtle crunch. That 'crunch' when you bite into it, oh, it's to die for."

Two other gentlemen who got their share from the first batch of a hundred skewers also showered compliments without reservation.

"This flavor is unbeatable. I always thought electric grills were only for basting sauces. Who knew Boss Wang could make them taste this good on an electric grill."

After handing over freshly grilled oysters to Zheng Qian and the others, Wang Fan estimated it was about time for the group reservations to arrive, so he told those still in line, "I'm sorry everyone, but you might have to wait a bit longer since the next batch of skewers has been reserved by someone."

"Huh? You can make reservations?"

Wang Fan explained, "Yes, there's a group on QQ; they messaged early on and should be arriving soon."

"Damn, give me the group number—I want to join too."

"I just did a quick search; this boss's stall seems to be quite famous. The thing is, the boss likes to move around a lot. He rarely stays in one place for more than a week and not only changes locations but also what he sells."

"Wow, Boss, you're really living it up?"

Wang Fan replied, "I like to travel around, see different places, and do a bit of business while exploring. But nowadays, I only frequent Beijing, Harbin, and here."

Just as he was speaking, Shen Teng, Chen Kai, and Cong Fu arrived, and Cong Fu greeted Wang Fan with a smile, "Good morning, Boss Wang."

Before Wang Fan could reply, Cong Fu added, "Boss Wang, your skewers really got me into trouble."

Wang Fan looked at him confused, and Cong Fu laughed, "I'm telling you, ever since I started hiking, I always climb the first day and shoot the sunrise the next morning. I've never missed it except when the weather forecast was wrong. But last night, I took away some of your skewers for a pack-up feast and drank too much, so I didn't wake up this morning. It's my first time missing a sunrise because of human factors."

Wang Fan laughed, "I apologize for that. If you want to pack up your food tonight, I won't sell it to you."

Cong Fu quickly waved his hands, "Please, no. You can shoot the sunrise any time, but you can't eat Boss Wang's skewers every day. I originally planned to stay two days at Mount Tai, but because Boss Wang is here, I've extended my stay until Friday."

Shen Teng laughed, "Me too, I even called my girlfriend to come over. She should be here by this afternoon. Besides oysters, Boss Wang, can we also get some grilled chives?"

"Grilled chives should be available tomorrow. Tonight, I need to prepare the basting sauce for the grilled chives."

He's planning to grill chives, "see you tomorrow," peppers, and other vegetables, but they all require special basting sauces. He wasn't satisfied with yesterday's grilled potatoes, which is why it's not on the menu today.

As he talked, Wang Fan was already placing skewers on the grill and putting freshly cleaned oysters at the corner of the grill.

Seeing this, Chen Kai, Cong Fu, Shen Teng, and others in line lost their chatty mood and stared directly at the skewers and oysters on the grill.

After arranging the skewers and oysters, there was still a tiny bit of space on the grill, so Wang Fan placed an eggplant on it.

He ordered 50 pounds of eggplants, roughly 150 of them. Although he posted about today's offerings in the group, it seems that in this world, grilled eggplant isn't common at BBQ stalls. As a result, eggplant became the least popular item.

How can that be allowed? No vegetable should go to waste!

At 3 yuan a pound, that's 150 yuan, but money isn't the point—it's the shame of wasting it!

Most importantly, this grilled eggplant is incredibly delicious, and he can't let others miss out on this delicacy.

Seeing Wang Fan place a long, dark eggplant on the grill, the people at the stall's entrance looked puzzled.

Cong Fu pointed at the eggplant in surprise, "Boss Wang, you can grill eggplants too?"

"It's my first time seeing grilled eggplant."

"Me too—I've never seen the BBQ stall downstairs that's been open for 20 years grill eggplant."

"Can this thing really taste good when grilled?"

"Gee... It just looks unappetizing being all dark and charred. Should we peel it first?"

Wang Fan smiled and offered no explanation, "Just wait till it's done, and you'll see."

Taking out a bowl of oil, Wang Fan brushed a layer of oil on the eggplant and then made a few slits in the eggplant with a knife.

After setting things down, he flipped the skewers over and continued waiting for everything to cook.

The eggplant skin began to wrinkle under the high heat. He took the knife again and split the eggplant open, revealing the yellow-white mixture of the eggplant flesh, which looked much more appealing than the black-purple outer skin.

By this time, the lamb skewers were nearly ready. He sprinkled some seasoning, took them off the grill, and handed them to Cong Fu and the others, who didn't leave but remained standing, munching on skewers while waiting for their grilled oysters, curious to see how the eggplants turned out.

This left the guy in line behind them drooling. The aroma of the meat was already strong, and the sight of the three in front biting into their skewers was a double torment, almost bringing tears of envy to his eyes.

Wang Fan then piled a layer of fresh garlic paste on the eggplant. The eggplant's flavor was subtle, and the garlic paste bestowed it with a new soul.

He took a spoon to spread a layer of spicy garlic sauce, and this garlic chili grilled eggplant officially came out of the oven.

Just as he was about to taste the flavor himself, Zhuo Qianqian rushed over with two newly skewered lamb sticks.

Zhuo Qianqian, eyes glued to the eggplant, opened her mouth wide, nodding her delicate chin at the eggplant repeatedly in a playful manner, making her look charming and endearing.

Wang Fan was also amused by her antics, took out a pair of disposable chopsticks, and picked a piece off the grilled eggplant.
