Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 113 - 106: Business Booming, Baffled Regulars

"Are you kidding me? Who do you look down on? My record for number two oysters is over sixty in one sitting! If it wasn't for fear of getting diarrhea, I could have kept going!"

Though number two is smaller than number one and the premium oysters, it's not by much, just a difference of ten grams or so.

In reality, number two and number three are the sizes normally found on restaurant tables in the country. Number one and premium are commonly eaten raw, given their price and quality.

But here is the origin, where the goods are both good and cheap, so no need to worry about all that, just enjoy as you please.

"Um... sixty is a bit exaggerated, there's no need for that many, save some for these foreigners to widen their horizons."

Lin Chen wiped his sweat; if this young lady really wants sixty, he'd have to grill two or three rounds at least.

"I'll consider it, let's start with two dozen grilled ones. Ever since leaving Amiens, I haven't found any Chinese food that's edible, not even Korean or Japanese food. Do you know how I've survived this past week and more!!!"

"Alright... you've been through a lot."

After grilling hundreds of oysters, he gradually discovered the knack of increasing the grilling speed.

Besides setting up two rows of oysters, one can stack another layer horizontally in the middle, but they must be oysters with relatively flat bottom shells.

With the heat and steam coming through the gaps, the second layer of oysters would gradually cook too, similar to the difference between high heat and medium heat.

Once the bottom layer is ready, the upper layer can be moved down for further heating, and in one or two minutes, it could be ready too, very fast.

While Jiang Shuqi was waiting for her share of food to be ready, many couples with meal boxes were drawing attention on the beach.

Some couples walked while eating, others found empty umbrellas and sat down, placing one or two boxes of grilled oysters on the table, holding cups of refreshing watermelon drinks.

The oysters covered in minced garlic glitter under the sunset, just looking at them makes one's mouth water.

They scoop into their mouths with the oyster shells using a spoon, chewing every bit of garlic along with it, fully enjoying the pleasure of eating seafood in big bites.

The sweet and savory oyster meat paired with the special garlic sauce is so delicious that these diners even lick clean the garlic remnants in the oyster shells after finishing the meat before putting them down.

"What kind of oyster dish is this? I've never seen it before."

"It looks like garlic butter, except the garlic shape is a bit unusual, but it smells quite nice."

"Such large oysters must be the premium ones, cooked? The processing fee mustn't be cheap."

"This box of oysters is probably worth over a hundred euros, tourists' money is easy to make."

Some curious girls couldn't resist anymore and came over asking where they were bought, if they were expensive, and if they tasted good.

They were surprised to hear that premium Gillardeau only costs 6 euros, number one costs 4 euros, and number two costs only 2 euros, basically wholesale prices, and the reviews were all super delicious!

Unable to hold back any longer, they quickly ran towards the food truck.

Even though it's a new method, it doesn't intrigue the locals, only tourists show interest.

More and more diners were gathering, the queue instead of shrinking, grew longer, making Lin Chen a bit nervous.

The business by the seaside is unexpectedly good, much better than expected, really should've stocked up more!

Unlike Amiens, where they had to shout themselves to attract diners, here, seeing the pickup truck piled with oyster shells, diners would proactively come over.

"This is what choosing the right menu feels like, isn't it?"

He felt he was on the right path, planning to focus on seafood dishes for the coming days, to see which seafood or method is most popular with tourists.

Just one oyster alone can be made in countless ways, for Great Xia People, having different dishes for a week is nothing.

Soon, two dozen oysters came out of the oven.

But Jiang Shuqi quickly found a problem.

She couldn't carry them.

The paper box space was limited, even stacked up, a box of six was already full, any more and it might fall sideways, and she couldn't hold it.

Thinking it over, since only number two oysters were left, no other choice, she turned towards the eager diners behind her.

"Well, I ordered too much and can't carry them all, if you don't mind, would you like me to let some of you go first? The taste is the same anyway, I need time to finish the ones in hand, so you can wait."

"Alright, bless you, girl!"

"I just want half a dozen, one box fits them, I can walk and eat."

Since the customers didn't mind, Lin Chen certainly wouldn't have any either, he packed up the leftover oysters and handed them to the two, then continued grilling the next batch.

Jiang Shuqi had met Lucas before, she greeted him with a smile and ordered a watermelon coconut drink, then found a nearby plastic stool to place the oysters down.

"Meow~"

Lu Xiaohei's nose twitched, suddenly turning his head towards the two plates of grilled oysters, taking a leap and drawing an elegant arc in the air, landing steadily next to the gap by the meal box.

"?!"

Jiang Shuqi and Lucas both jumped in surprise.

"Lu Xiaohei! What are you doing?!"

Upon seeing it's actually a little black cat, Jiang Shuqi breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pet it.

They called it by name, it must be a pet, petting should be fine, right?

"Xiao Hei, do you want some oysters? It's too salty for you, let sister pet you, give sister a pet and she'll give you one~"
