Grilled mussels and mushrooms (2)

There were still many diners tonight, but when they arrived, they all looked incredulous when they saw the mushrooms and mussels on the table.

While looking at these two things, I had a questioning look on my face. Can these things be eaten?

"We didn't order any meat today. It was mainly for the new dishes."

"Mushrooms aren't meat, but when grilled, they have a unique chewy texture that's just as enjoyable as meat. Mussels are filled with minced garlic, giving them a garlicky aroma, so they have a completely different flavor from meat skewers."

"Mushrooms are 100 gold coins a bunch, and mussels are 1000 gold coins for 5. You can try it once."

Xiang Qinghao explained her new product with great enthusiasm, but many customers were still skeptical.

“Can this be delicious?”

“Who would eat mushrooms if they don’t eat meat?”

"Mussels have such thick shells that they can be roasted. How long do you have to wait for them to be cooked through?"

"What's there to eat? It's better to eat meat."

"I don't want to eat. I need to lose weight. I didn't want to come in the first place, but you dragged me here. Now it's a good opportunity that I don't need to eat."

Just as Xiang Qing had expected, no one agreed.

Only the two people on the right side of the table looked a little hesitant. They wanted to try it, but were worried that it would not taste good.

Seeing this, Xiang Qinghao seemed to be talking to everyone, but in fact he was only talking to those two people.

"How about this? Since everyone is worried, I can grill them one by one. Mushrooms are 100 gold coins a bunch, and mussels are 200 gold coins each. I'll grill even one of them. You can try them first. If you don't like them or don't like them, I don't charge you."

"Or, if you just want to eat skewers, you can come tomorrow and they'll be available."

This statement means that diners are not as resistant as before.

Some people even began to loosen up.

Finally, two people at the table said, "We want two skewers of grilled mushrooms and two grilled mussels."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Xiang Qinghao put the mushrooms on the grill, took out the grates, and put the mussels on it to grill.

Normally, mussels should be grilled using a wire mesh curtain specially designed for grilling mussels.

But because I was in a hurry today, I used a grill to roast it.

This further increases the curiosity of the guests.

After two or three minutes, the mushrooms begin to soften, and when brushed with sauce, the sauce has a spiciness to it.

The combination of soy sauce and chili powder, together with the aroma of mushrooms, stimulates people's sensory nerves and makes them begin to imagine the fresh taste of mushrooms.

As for the grilled mussels, that was even more excessive.

The four layers of cooked mussels were grilled and bubbles were bubbling on the grates.

The bubbles give off the fresh aroma of mussels, and when added with golden garlic sauce, the aroma of garlic and sauce is instantly present.

The visual sound, each opened mussel is placed with garlic sauce - yellow, white, red, brown, such colors attract people's appetite.

In terms of smell, the seafood flavor of the mussels mixed with garlic, chili peppers, and various seasonings creates a unique umami flavor that makes people forget their previous prejudices.

The nose can smell it, the eyes can see it, and the grilling method is very special. Who can resist it?

Why don’t you eat quickly? What are you waiting for?

By the time Xiang Qinghao asked, all the customers had already arrived.

"I want 10 mushrooms and 5 mussels."

"I want 20 mushrooms and 10 mussels."

"I want 10 of each of lamb, mussels, and mushrooms."

Before, diners who looked up and waited were now rushing forward like they were buying skewers for free, for fear that they would not be able to get a seat.

After taking a bite.

After the mushrooms have been soaked in salt water, they still have a certain saltiness even after being drained, and the water has not been completely removed.

The surface is roasted until dry, but the inside is slightly moist. When paired with the sauce, it has a plump and moist texture.

This taste is not as light as vegetables, nor as heavy as meat. It is the fragrance of mushrooms themselves.

So this is what it feels like to eat grilled mushrooms. It’s not just delicious, it’s extremely delicious.

Especially for those who like to eat vegetables more than meat, they will want a second skewer after finishing one.

Mushrooms are approved, but are mussels anyone?

I like it, of course I like it.

Mussels grilled on a grater arouse the curiosity of many people.

During the grilling process, customers could not help but swallow their saliva when they saw the mussels bubbling.

When Xiang Qing put the garlic sauce on the mussels little by little, the aroma of garlic filled the air.

If you don’t have chili peppers, you can use spicier red pepper flakes instead, which can also stimulate your taste buds.

Finally, Xiang Qinghao garnished the mussels with a little chives, which made the customers' appetite reach its peak.

"Is mine ready?"

"Is there nothing in this basket for me?"

“When will mine bake?”

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone will have some." Xiang Qing gave the roasted mussels to Sister Zhou.

After Sister Zhou put the food on the table, Xiang Qinghao took out another batch of mushrooms and mussels to grill.

The mussels were already on the table, but the diners hadn't eaten them yet. They felt it was a novelty just by looking at them.

This is my first time eating something baked like this. Let’s not talk about how it tastes, it just looks good.

Carefully take out a mussel and gently push the garlic aside with chopsticks.

Suddenly, the heat in the mussels turned into a thin, short wisp of green smoke floating upwards.

The mixed flavor of seafood and garlic is even stronger.

There was some soup under the big piece of meat.

The person who drank the fresh soup from the pointed mouth of the mussel felt his body tremble and his eyes became sharp.

Afterwards, the soft and glutinous mussel meat enters your mouth. It combines its own deliciousness with the garlic flavor, further deepening, improving, and advancing these two flavors to reach another level.

When eating, people can't help but close their eyes and slowly experience the happiness and satisfaction that food brings.

After eating the mussel meat, the fragrance lingers in the mouth. In order to prolong the fragrance in the mouth, I can't help but eat a little bit of the garlic on the mussels.

The garlic paste, which has been stir-fried once, still has a strong taste after the secondary processing on the mussels, but because of the participation of the taste of the sea, it is strong but not irritating.

The seasoning is moderately salty, and the chili pepper is an instigator here, instigating the eater to eat a little more, a little more, bite by bite until it is finished.

Mussels are one of the cheapest types of seafood.

In daily life, when I buy seafood at home, I would not choose to eat such things.

I didn’t expect that after being processed so well in the barbecue restaurant, it would be more delicious and more appealing than the more expensive seafood.

After eating it, people feel a sense of relief and relaxation.

It seemed as if all the fatigue and tension of the day were relieved by this bite of mussels.

I originally thought that there would be some leftover ingredients, but now I feel like I didn’t buy enough.

But it doesn’t matter. Today is just a test. I won’t regret it if there is less. I can just buy more tomorrow.
