Wang Fan's long electric grill quickly filled with ingredients, with five large drumsticks lined up together, looking incredibly impressive.
Nowadays, grilled chicken wings are common at barbecue stalls, but chicken legs, especially drumsticks, are rarely seen because they don't cook easily.
With the time invested, one could make much more with other dishes, and these drumsticks are space-hogging, not worth the effort.
But these are perfect for Wang Fan because grilling these allows him to take it easy.
Once the lamb skewers quota is done, placing a whole slab of drumsticks on the grill allows him a good break.
Anyhow, with the Lucky Four-leaf Clover and Treasure Chest, his earnings won't be too low.
The drumsticks were marinated by Wang Fan, but without any coloring spices, so they still look pale.
After a period of intense grilling, the pale chicken skin starts to turn golden brown.
A fragrance distinct from the mutton aroma follows as it is released.
Wang Fan occasionally pokes the drumstick with a skewer, each poke causing fats to drip onto the grill and sizzle.
Then, with a knife, he carves three deep marks on each side of the drumstick; the meat is quite thick making it hard for the spice flavors to seep in without these cuts.
Shen Chao, with his mouth full of oily lamb skewers, craned his neck to check if his grilled chicken leg was done, enthusiastically awaiting the big meat feast soon.
Lin Dong was enjoying his skewers while sincerely praising, "This trip to Mount Tai was totally worth it, beyond the free entry, Wang Boss's grilled skewers are definitely worth the climb."
Shen Chao nodded, "I bet even a chef at a five-star hotel couldn't grill it this good."
"Everyone has their specialty, but top chefs aren't usually grilling lamb skewers."
Shen Chao said, "But Wang Boss wasn't either, he was selling marinated meat just last week."
Lin Dong laughed, "That's true, Wang Boss is really skilled, just starting with skewers and they're so delicious! I'm curious how good his other dishes were."
"I've only tried his rice noodles once, the taste and texture were unforgettable, but now I'm more looking forward to my soon-to-be-grilled drumstick."
"Hahaha, enjoy the drumstick present and don't worry about what's out of reach."
Wang Fan brushed seasoning on each drumstick, causing waves of rich fragrance to waft out continuously. After flipping them and adding some dry spices, the aroma intensified further, enough to awaken the cravings from one's belly.
Grilled oysters were done too, Li Wei picked up the oysters and delivered them to the customers as per the order, and promptly updated the quantity left on the chalkboard when he returned.
As Shen Chao and Lin Dong looked on with anticipation, the grilled drumsticks were finally ready. Li Wei just served them the drumsticks, and they eagerly prepared to feast.
The high temperatures on the drumsticks only left them impatiently blowing on them to cool.
The bright red chicken skin was grilled to a crisp golden brown, adorned with some dark grill marks, white peanut crumbs, and sesame seeds clung nicely to the drumsticks, the combination of dry and wet seasoning making these drumsticks look even more tempting.
A tantalizing aroma lingered around their noses, a mix of roasted meat fragrance, spice scent, and a mild burnt aroma.
As the temperature slightly decreased, Shen Chao and Lin Dong couldn't resist biting into their drumsticks.
In their eagerness, they applied too much force while grabbing, causing large chunks of fats to trickle down the curves of the drumstick meat onto the table.
Shen Chao couldn't care less; the bite he took nearly sent him into ecstasy.
The thick chicken skin was grilled to a thin crispness, releasing oil that lent a crunchy feel, as the mouth opened wide they tore off a large chunk of meat into their mouth, the rich meat aroma seemingly drowning their senses.
The honey brushed on the chicken skin along with other spices created a unique flavor that enchanted Shen Chao, and with a clenching of the teeth, the juices inside the chicken gushed out like a flooding river, tender and juicy to the extreme.
"Damn! Poor vocabulary, damn walks the earth! This chicken leg meat is just too damn good! Beyond 'damn', I can't find any other word to describe its taste and texture!"
"Wow, this chicken skin, crunchy and firm, totally different from those single rack chicken skins, they wouldn't compare even one out of ten thousand!"
"Wow, this chicken meat, tender and juicy, I feel as if my tongue was lifted afloat in the meat juices."
"The outer layer of drumstick meat has a fragrant crispy aroma, with clear muscle textures and is very chewy, chewing towards the inside brings full tenderness, with chicken skin, outer drumstick meat, and inner drumstick meat offering three different textures all meeting in the mouth, such a skillful merge is purely indulgent!"
All Shen Chao could say was damn, but Zhou Wanqing, who was fabulously eloquent, shared her feelings with friends as she ate.
"Honestly, I've only tried fried drumsticks before, this is the first time eating grilled ones, and the taste is totally different from fried ones, I think fried ones are no match for this!"
"Could it be the fried drumstick chef's skills aren't good? If Wang Boss fried them, he might even spice up your tongue."
Zhu Yanyan, looking to hang Wang Fan's photo on her bedside, said.
Then she took a bite of her freshly served mushrooms, immediately revealing a blissful expression.
Mushrooms are inherently aromatic, the high-temperature grilling escalates their fragrance, Zhu Yanyan felt captivated the moment she picked it up.
The aroma was like an invisible hook, tightly hooking her taste buds.
As she gently bit into the grilled mushroom, a smooth texture spread across her tongue.
The mushroom's flesh was delicate and soft, seemingly melting in the mouth, simultaneously releasing juices that burst forth like a rich mushroom broth inside her mouth.
The broth was thick and savory, making her unable to resist indulging.
The grilled mushroom's aroma freely floated, continually lingering in the nostrils, tempting everyone's taste buds.
The marvelous texture and aroma intertwined, crafting an irresistible gourmet experience.
"Oh… this is bliss!"
"No wonder Wang Boss's stall is so popular."
"Earlier, when people praised Wang Boss's food how delicious it was, I thought they were exaggerating, but until I tasted this mushroom bite, honestly, anyone who hasn't tasted it here doesn't realize how modest those remarks are!"
"The most sensible thing I've done this year was embarking on a spontaneous trip, followed by having an unforgettable barbecue meal."
"Boss Wang's skills are like turning plain into extraordinary, even an ordinary mushroom can be grilled to such a delicious level; if I hadn't tasted it myself, I would've thought someone had fed me mushroom broth, truly exceptional!"
