Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 121 - 110: Family Feast Seafood Bucket

"Yes, just like what you're thinking!"

This kind of menu, where you don't need to choose and can try every type of food, absolutely meets most people's needs.

Young couples smelled the garlicky aroma wafting from the car window, thinking about the grilled oysters they had yesterday, and didn't hesitate for a second.

"Then give us one serving. By the way, how much seafood is in a bucket?"

"Two number one Gillardeau oysters, four scallops, six mussels, eight razor clams, and three types of carbs: corn, potatoes, and lotus root."

While chatting with customers, Lin Chen's hands weren't idle; he was already blanching the seafood in advance.

Since it'll be sold soon, there's no need to wait for an order to come in before cooking; that would just waste time.

For items like potato, lotus root slices, and corn, he's already cooked two full pots, just need a few seconds to reheat when an order comes in.

The young couple exchanged glances and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

"The amount of seafood seems not enough for us to eat, shall we add more?"

Fitness enthusiasts have a great appetite, usually controlling their diet, and finally out on a trip, they definitely want to indulge before going back.

"Seafood is all high-quality protein, potatoes, corn noodles are high-quality carbs, the oil looks slightly much, but it's okay, we'll do a ten-kilometer run in the afternoon."

"Good idea, darling. Then I'll add more to the order: boss, add another dozen oysters, half a dozen scallops, and twenty each of mussels and razor clams."

Whoa?

Lin Chen was shocked by their bold ordering, and quickly handed over some potatoes and corn for them to see.

"Well, guys, the amount of carbs is quite high, plus instant noodles, it's at least over five hundred grams, and everything you're adding exceeds two thousand grams, can you finish it?"

The weight of one Gillardeau oyster is about 250 grams, the oyster meat usually accounts for 20-25%, that means 50 grams, with 12 original and another 2 added, just the oyster meat alone is over 700 grams.

People with smaller appetites probably couldn't even finish a dozen oysters, let alone all the seafood and carbs waiting behind.

"What?"

The two were surprised, "Just that little? Then add another dozen oysters, and an extra serving of potatoes and corn each, gotta be full to have the strength to exercise."

"Darling, go buy some ice-cold Coke, in this weather, how can you eat a seafood feast at the seaside without Coke."

"Good idea."

Lin Chen was speechless too, can they really eat that much?

Fine, you're impressive.

"We sell Coke too, and we also have watermelon juice and ice cups available, just pay at the side."

All around is the beach, the nearest convenience store is several hundred meters away, a round trip is close to a kilometer, normal people would find it troublesome.

Today they're not selling watermelon coconut, just pure watermelon juice, also bought over ten boxes of Coke.

During yesterday's business, many customers asked if there was ice-cold Coke. Lucas remembered, and since the supermarket didn't have suitable coconut milk today, just selling watermelon juice is easier.

Next to Lucas's feet was a pile of Coke, and on the table was a cooler box filled with ice.

The price is not expensive, 3 euros per 500ml bottle.

Many small convenience stores have this price, instead, large supermarkets might be cheaper, especially near tourist spots, the price definitely isn't cheap.

The young couple saw the price and didn't hesitate to buy two bottles.

Since the price is about the same, no need to go all the way to buy.

Lin Chen's movements were quick, while the two were ordering, he already threw the instant noodles into the pot, these are thin noodles, don't need too long to cook, just need softening.

Then he clamped the freshly cooked hot seafood into the bowls according to quantity and generously poured a few big scoops of garlic sauce in.

"Can you handle spicy food? Our Great Xia peppers are very spicy."

"Uh, then just a little, I don't want to spend the rest of my time in the hotel bathroom."

Seeing their uncertain expression, Lin Chen mostly figured it out and lightly scooped half a spoon of spicy sauce to mix in.

The originally golden garlic sauce instantly turned rosy red after adding the spicy sauce, looking particularly appetizing.

After stirring, the aroma of butter spread out with the heat, making the diners waiting behind tiptoe and crane their necks, eager to see what food was being sold today that's even more fragrant than yesterday's grilled oysters.

After hearing that the seafood bucket was spicy, the woman decided to buy two big cups of iced freshly squeezed watermelon juice just to be safe.

While ice-cold Coke is refreshing to drink, it doesn't really soothe spiciness; rather, its abundant bubbles can enhance the release of spicy flavor.

Spiciness is a pain sensation, not a taste sensation, carbonation works similarly.

"Here you go, your dishes are ready!"

Two big bags of sauce-coated seafood were packed into food bags, ready to go. You can eat it anytime, anywhere, a typical American-style hand-held seafood serving style.

The difference is that in restaurants, it's dumped on tables, while here, it's sold without providing tables, that's all.

The bags are double-layered to prevent being punctured by mussel and razor clam shells.

Through the slightly blurry two layers of plastic bags, you can roughly see the ingredients inside, plus the full-bodied light red garlic sauce and a sprinkle of green onions, the waiting diners' eyes went wide.

"Hand-held seafood???"

"Oh my God, this food truck is a treasure, how do they think of selling this on the street!"

"The seafood's not only fresh, but the price is cheap too, even without tasting, it's bound to be delicious."

"For this bag of seafood, I'm willing to come every day!"
