When you push open the door of this restaurant decorated like a bar, you are greeted by a lively scene.
The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue spices, a hint of smoke from the burning charcoal, the sweat of the guests, and a hint of perfume.
Such air was a critical blow to Lulia, who had an extremely sensitive nose. The tail behind the black cat witch suddenly stood up, and she quickly covered her nose with her sleeve. Then she stood still in front of the restaurant door until Loran Hill came up, and then she followed her in small steps.
Because she is the witch who controls the wind, there is a weak airflow around Loran Hill, which can easily filter and purify the odor in the air. Following this white cat-like girl, you can get the same refreshing experience.
"Huh, that feels a little better now." Holding Loran Hill's arm, Lulia fanned the air in front of her nose with her hand, and then looked at the restaurant environment with curious eyes.
Because today is the weekend, it is more lively than usual. Even at noon, there are still many guests here. Many of them are workers or guards from Falfurner, and some are local vendors and craftsmen. Occasionally, you can see a few people traveling here from other regions.
Most of them were men. Apart from Loranhill and Lulia, there were only two young women. They both looked like mages and came with their fellow apprentices.
These people sat in groups of three or four at thick wooden tables, drinking beer in big gulps. Occasionally, those who had money would order a glass of imported Elven wine.
Compared with human-brewed wine, the elves' fine wine tastes better and is of course more expensive. It has always been a powerful export commodity of the elves. The girl has witnessed this in the forest.
Those elves always have the patience and leisure to study various fruits, grains, and the flavors brewed in different ways. If you meet an elf who is interested in this, they can even talk to you for three days and three nights, each time with different brewing methods and tricks.
"Good afternoon, both of you. What would you like to eat? Today's special is 'Iceland Elephant Barbecue'."
Shortly after the two girls entered the store, the clerk walked over in small steps.
"It sounds good. Do you want to eat this?" Loran Hill asked the black cat witch beside him.
"Okay." She agreed first, then asked curiously, "Are there any other special dishes?"
"We have other options, but today we're serving Icefield Elephant BBQ. The food is different every day, so you can enjoy different delicacies every day."
"This is good~" Lulia clapped her fingers briskly. Just as the waiter continued to ask what side dishes were needed, a wheezing sound of flames came from the back of the restaurant. Even indoors, she could feel a surge of heat, warming her face and causing her hair to float slightly.
"Wow, the boss has started grilling again today. Is this your first time here? If so, you can go to the back and watch. It will definitely be a rare experience." Hearing shouts and cheers coming from behind the house, the clerk excitedly introduced to the two girls.
"Really? Then let's go and take a look." After saying that, Lulia pulled Loran Hill and walked to the back impatiently.
After passing through a short corridor, the blazing red light leading to the back filled the field of vision. When the firelight was a little weaker, others could see the whole picture of the backyard.
Behind the restaurant is an overhanging cliff, and at the foot of the cliff lies a gigantic red-scaled fire dragon. Its body is so huge that even if it just raises its neck to stand, its head is higher than the restaurant.
There was a flat piece of volcanic rock placed on the open space in front of the cliff. At this moment, the fire dragon was slightly opening its mouth, spewing out a rich and blazing flame, which was constantly roasting the piece of meat on the volcanic rock, and a tempting meaty aroma filled the air.
Although the piece of meat was not as big as the fire dragon, it was more than five meters wide and less than half a meter thick. It contained both fat and lean meat, as well as cut bones. In the flames, it quickly turned from dark red to white, and then slowly turned to brown. The fat overflowed and boiled, emitting a pleasant sizzling sound.
"This side is ready." After the fire dragon roasted the meat for a while, an extremely strong man next to it shouted loudly.
Hearing his cry, the fire dragon stopped breathing fire reluctantly, then shook its neck. Its red scales sparkled in the sun, and it was obvious that the fire dragon was very healthy and young.
After the flames died down, the man picked up a huge sword as big as a door panel and inserted it into the gap between the meat and the stone slab. Then he lifted it up suddenly. The wide piece of meat flew up in the air, bringing with it white steam and the aroma of meat, which attracted the eyes of the people watching. Then the piece of meat fell again and stuck to the stone slab with the other side facing up.
"alright!"
Then, the man who used to be the dragon knight took a few steps back to make room, and the fire dragon breathed fire again.
The dazzling blazing flames gushed out, then covered the entire piece of meat, and then the flames slowly stabilized, and the red particles evenly and rhythmically covered every corner of the meat.
The moisture on the meat slices is quickly evaporated, the surface becomes dry, and then the proteins and sugars in it begin to undergo a wonderful "Maillard" reaction. The molecules begin to condense, polymerize, and cyclize, and then generate aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, amines, ketoaldehydes and other substances. Along with the decomposition of sugars and proteins, an attractive aroma begins to spread.
The high-temperature particles of the flame continue to penetrate deep into the meat, permeating the tough texture of the ice-like flesh. At the same time, the surface of the meat gradually turns brown, and the fine parts begin to carbonize. This crispness gives the meat a unique texture, making it distinct from the flavor of the interior, making it even more tempting.
