Chapter 339 Fire Dragon and Roast Meat

Pushing aside this restaurant with bar-like decoration, a lively scene is oncoming.

The air was mixed with the spice smell of barbecue, the smell of smoke from the burning charcoal fire, the smell of sweat from the guests, and the smell of perfume mixed into it.

This kind of air was a critical blow to Luria, whose nose was so inspirational. The black cat witch's tail stood up abruptly, quickly covered her nose with her cuff, and then stood still in front of the restaurant door until Loren Hill came up. Follow her in small steps.

Because she is the witch in charge of the wind, there is a weak airflow around Roland Hill, which can easily filter and purify the odor in the air. You can get the same fresh experience when you are next to this white cat-like girl.

"Huh, I feel better now." Holding Roland Hill's arm, Lulia fanned the air in front of her nose with her hand, and then looked at the restaurant's environment with curious eyes.

Because today is the weekend, it is more lively than in the past. Even at noon, there are many guests here. Many of them are workers or guards in Falfna, and some are local traders and handicraftsmen. Occasionally Can see a few people from other regions who travel here.

Most of them are men, except for Roland Hill and Lulia, there are only two young women, it seems that they are all mages, and they came with the apprentices of the same sect.

These people sat at the thick wooden table in twos and threes, drinking beer, and occasionally the rich would order a glass of imported elf wine.

Compared with the wine brewed by humans, the fine wine of elves tastes better, and of course it is more expensive. It has always been a strong export commodity for elves. This girl has seen this in the forest.

Those elves are always patient and free to study various fruits, grains, and flavors brewed in different ways. If you meet an elves who like this piece, they can even tell you that for three days and three nights, each time is different. Flavor brewing methods and know-how.

"Good noon, the two of you~ What do you want to eat? Today's special dish is 'Iceland Elephant BBQ'."

Not long after the two girls entered the door, the clerk walked over in small steps.

"Sounds good, do you want to eat this?" Roland Hill asked the black cat witch beside him.

"Okay." She agreed first, and then asked curiously, "Are there any other specialties?"

"There are others too, but today's serving is 'Iceland Elephant Barbecue', and the food is different every day, so you can eat different delicacies every day."

"That's good~" Lulia patted her fingers briskly, and just as the clerk continued to ask what side dishes were needed, there was a whirring sound of flames from the back of the restaurant, and even indoors, you could feel a surge of heat overflowing , to warm the face and slightly lift the hair.

"Hey, today the boss started barbecuing again. Is this the first time for the customer? If you can go to the back to watch it, it is definitely a rare experience." Hearing shouts and cheers from the back of the house, the clerk was excited. Introduced to two girls.

"Really, let's go take a look then." After that, Luria dragged Roland Hill impatiently to the back.

Passing through the short corridor, the blazing red light that leads straight to the back fills the field of vision. When the firelight is slightly weaker, others can see the whole picture of the backyard.

Behind this restaurant is a hanging cliff, and a huge red-scale fire dragon is under the cliff. Its huge size, just lift its neck and stand, its head exceeds the height of the restaurant.

There is a flat volcanic rock on the open space in front of the cliff. At this moment, the fire dragon is opening its mouth slightly, spewing out rich and fiery flames, constantly baking the meat on the volcanic rock, and there is a seductive burst in the air. meaty.

Although the piece of meat is not big compared to the fire dragon, it is more than five meters wide and half a meter thick, with both fat and thin, as well as the cut bones, which quickly turned from dark red to white in the flame, and then slowly turned to brown. , the grease overflowed, and it was boiling with a pleasant sizzling sound.

"This side is fine." After the fire dragon roasted the meat for a while, a very strong man next to him shouted loudly.

Hearing his cry, the fire dragon stopped breathing fire, and then shook its neck. The red scales gleamed in the sun, and it could be seen that the fire dragon was very healthy and young.

After the flames dissipated, the man picked up the huge giant sword that looked like a door panel, inserted the sword into the gap between the meat and the slate, and then lifted it up violently, the large pieces of meat tossed up in the air, bringing surging white. The smell of air and meat firmly attracted the eyes of those who were watching, and then the piece of meat fell again, slammed against the slate, and turned the other side up.

"All right!"

Then, the man who used to be the dragon knight stepped back a few steps to make way, and the fire dragon breathed fire again.

A dazzling blazing flame gushed out, and then covered the whole piece of meat, and then the flame slowly stabilized, and the red particles covered every corner of the meat evenly and rhythmically.

The moisture on the meat is quickly evaporated, the surface becomes dry, and then the proteins and sugars in it begin to undergo a wonderful 'Maillard' reaction, and the molecules begin to condense, polymerize, cyclize, etc., and then generate aldehydes, ketones, alcohols With the decomposition of sugars and proteins, a seductive fragrance begins to overflow.

The high-temperature particles of the flame continue to penetrate into the interior of the meat slices, penetrating the heat into the tough meat of the ice sheet, while at the same time, the meat on the surface slowly turns brown, and the fine parts begin to carbonize. Such a crispy texture will give the sliced ​​meat a different texture, making it more appealing and layered with the flavors on the inside.

During the baking process, the dragon knight wielding the giant sword inserted the sword into the giant barrel prepared aside, and then tilted it out.

The medium-brown wood chips flew out together and fell into the flames.

The black pine sawdust from the southern forest burns rapidly and then rises in the flame. These sawdust with weak moisture emit white gas during the burning. The lignan molecules decomposed when the pine wood burns are converted into smaller ones in the flame. The particles, in which eugenol and guaiacol are dissolved into the water vapor, are brought to the surface of the meat slices by the flame particles, and the oils and fats are mixed together to produce an intoxicating smoky aroma.

It is not strong, but has a resinous fragrance, which slightly neutralizes the fragrance of the oil and makes it more palatable. After this step, the fire dragon also stopped the flames under the order of the dragon knight to prevent it from continuing. The high temperature destroys the aroma and taste.

In this way, the main step of roasting the meat is completed, and then it is time to sprinkle different spices and side dishes according to the needs of different guests.

Looking at the still sizzling slate, Luria, the cat witch has long since become stunned, as if her whole life has been hit by a higher level of impact.

"It turns out that barbecue can be so powerful..." Seeing the sparkling look in her eyes, she almost jumped out of the stars.

In the eyes of everyone looking forward, the dragon knight stepped forward, slashed his giant sword, and easily cut half of the roast meat, and then the clerk who had already prepared it carried a wooden bucket and poured it onto the piece of meat. Quickly smooth it with a wooden spatula, and a pungent spicy taste will spread out.

"This is?" Lulia looked puzzled, but soon she knew why.

The dragon knight picked up the meat with his sword, threw it directly at the fire dragon, and was bitten off by the latter, chewing it slowly in his mouth. Looking at the enjoyment of it, it seems to be very satisfied with today's masterpiece.

After distributing the due remuneration to his partners, the dragon knight divided the remaining half into evenly small pieces with his sword, and then the clerks put them on plates one by one and brought them to the table in front.

"The portion of the two young ladies is also ready, please come with me." The previous clerk saw that the two young girls were still curiously looking at the busyness of the store, and came over to say hello with a smile.

"Okay." Lorraine Hill dragged the reluctant Lulia beside him to the front of the restaurant, and soon a plate of steaming huge barbecue was brought to the front of the two girls. Various accessories, such as cumin, chili, salt, spices, etc., can be freely added by two people.

"I don't know what flavor you two like. If you don't know, we also provide a recommended combination here. I'll help you sprinkle it."

"Then I'll trouble you." Roland Hill and Lulia were both coming here for the first time, so they simply asked the clerk to help.

"Okay." Then the clerk quickly and skillfully picked up all kinds of bottles and jars, and spread them quickly and evenly in front of the two of them.

"While the heat has not dissipated, now is the best time to eat, please enjoy the two of you." Then he slowly stepped back.

Looking at the one-meter-wide barbecue in front of the table, the fibers in the meat still show the unique toughness of the ice sheet.

"No way, I really can't help it." Lulia stretched out her hand, and then slashed across it in an instant, the meat was divided into neat small pieces and fell into the plate in front of her, and was quickly forked and thrown into the mouth .

"Huh, it's so hot!" The black cat witch's tongue seemed to be similar to that of a cat. She was very sensitive and could not tolerate high temperatures.

"Woooo, t_t..." After eating, the black cat couldn't help crying.

"What's the matter, isn't it delicious?" Roland Hill just cut a piece and put it on the plate before eating it.

"No, it's so delicious, what should I do if I can't eat it in the future..."

"The big man and the fire dragon can only live for a few hundred years at most, woo woo, so pitiful..." Not knowing whether the witch was pitying the other person or herself, Roland Hill was relieved and slowly felt the words in her mouth. The barbeque was still hot and fiery, and the magic-rich heat seemed to be extra long and full of stamina.

First there is the slightly crispy outer layer, the irritating and pleasant spice makes the saliva secrete quickly, and then there is the slightly chewy meat layer, in the process of tearing the meat, the spilled oil and fibers are on the tongue and There are new flavors and textures in the teeth, and finally the softer meat in the inner layer. There still seems to be a little bit of ice left here. The spice in the mouth, burst out the last layer of impact.

Just a piece of meat, there are three completely different experiences, and the layers are distinct, and the final mix is ​​extraordinarily long, which is memorable and admirable.

Sure enough, it was delicious.

Although I had heard the name of this shop before, but this time, Roland Hill deeply understood the magical charm of this kind of food.

No wonder that dragon knight didn't even want his position, and insisted on pursuing delicious food. It seems that he has indeed found an unprecedented path, which is amazing.

When he slowly finished eating this small piece of meat, Roland Hill looked up and saw that Lulia, who was beside him, had already finished eating. At times, it was done so quickly that no one else noticed.

The black cat jumped up immediately after eating, ran to the front desk with small steps, and immediately ordered the next piece of barbecue.

The ice sheet is so big that it is estimated that it will be baked until evening before it will be used up.

"I'm not going anywhere today, just eat barbecue here, Roland." Although it was a suggestion, Roland Hill understood that the black cat couldn't stop being greedy.

"well

OK, here it is today. "The girl smiled happily.

The two of them stood on the cliff, like people watching the roaring work of a huge excavator, watching the even bigger red dragon swaying flames recklessly, baking the pieces of meat into shape.

This process gradually changed from unfamiliar to familiar in the eyes of the two, and then with a certain rhythm and magic, it seemed that people could never get tired of watching it, and it was very stress-relieving and relaxing.

Rough, savage, raw meat with a bloody smell, in that flame, slowly filtering out the fishy smell of blood, the rough and hard-to-bitten meat gradually swells and bends slightly, the oil slowly overflows, and the fibers It also became soft, exuding a steaming white gas and fragrance.

From the rough and slightly cold raw meat with irregularity, to the fragrant and regularly cut pieces of meat rich in fat, from disordered to ordered, irregular to regular and delicious, the world seems to show another This kind of special charm, if you use the words of the East, it seems to be vaguely in line with the Tao.

This kind of process enjoyment that is clearly visible, in line with reason, sight, and smell makes people addicted, and it can even be said that the person and the dragon are not working, but enjoying every second of this.

Ordinary people may not be able to perceive or understand such a state, but for the two sensitive and extraordinary witches, they will not ignore it, which is why the two are obviously witches, but they are willing to spend time, just Stand by and watch them roast.

When you have advanced your skills to such an extent, you seem to be able to perceive the slightest changes and understand them clearly. That kind of grasp and control of details brings people an unimaginable sense of achievement and satisfaction, and thus continues to urge Makes you keep moving forward, the better the faster, the faster the better, until you leave everyone far behind and reach an unprecedented new realm.

At this time, craftsmanship is no longer just a tool for making a living, it seems to have become the light in your life, bringing you endless hope and expectation, illuminating other dark corners, and smoothing the shadow of frustration in life , inferiority complex, wounds, etc., but also bring income, and even respect and many other by-products.

So, want a roast tonight? (laugh
