To make charcoal-grilled meat taste delicious, controlling the heat is crucial.
You need to "cultivate the fire" from the very beginning.
The so-called "fire-raising" refers to raising the charcoal fire to its highest temperature without any open flame before grilling.
Then, carbon is continuously added during this process to maintain a basic temperature.
Mastering the heat is arguably the most easily overlooked yet crucial skill for barbecue chefs.
After Qin Yi controlled the charcoal fire properly, she prepared to grill skewers, and put the naan bread with meat into the oven to heat it up.
All she had to do was grill those lamb skewers.
The mutton provided by the system is bright red and glossy.
It can quickly return to its original shape when gently pressed.
It looks like fresh lamb from the Qingqing Grassland.
This type of lamb doesn't need to be marinated in advance; too much seasoning will overpower the lamb's original flavor.
The combination of three red and two white meat chunks means it doesn't need to be brushed with oil before grilling.
The natural fat of the mutton itself gives it a sweet and fragrant flavor.
She first placed the meat skewers on the grill and waited patiently.
Make sure to wait until the bottom of the meat changes color before flipping it over.
Flipping the dough too often will cause it to lose moisture and become unpalatable.
After a while, the back of the lamb skewers turned white, so Qin Yin flipped them over and continued grilling the other side.
Once both sides have turned white, break up the meat skewers that are stuck together.
The two pieces of fatty meat on the lamb skewers were already sizzling and releasing their own fat.
At this point, dip the adjacent meat skewers together, allowing the lamb's own fat to seep into each piece of meat.
Once both sides are golden brown, you can start sprinkling with seasonings such as salt, chili powder, white sesame seeds, and cumin powder, the perfect match for lamb skewers.
"Hehehehehe..."
Seeing that the mutton was almost ready, Qin Yi was in a good mood and decided to try making a mutton skewer with her tongue, just like the chefs online.
I never imagined my imitation skills would be so poor...
"Hahahaha..."
"It should be derderderderder~~~~~~~~~"
After joining the rights protection group chat of Shumei Gym, Wu Gaojie prepared to leave.
But suddenly a strange fragrance wafted over, arousing his appetite completely.
After looking around, he spotted the rainbow barbecue cart nearby.
As you get closer, you'll see a boss wearing a baseball cap skillfully flipping the skewers.
She held a palm-leaf fan in her hand, propping it up with her left hand and fanning herself with her right.
The flames seemed to be her soldiers, allowing her to maintain her balance.
Wu Gaojie stood aside and watched the entire process of the owner grilling lamb skewers.
At the last moment, Qin Yi picked up a large pair of scissors and carefully cut off the blackened parts of the skewers.
Then, imitating others' tongue-twisting motions, he pronounced it as "lè lè lè".
Hearing someone mocking her from behind, Qin Yi retorted with displeasure, "You don't play much better than me!"
Wu Gaojie stopped when he had enough, staring at the mutton skewers on the stainless steel plate in front of him and swallowing hard.
"Boss, although your tongue-twisting technique isn't great, your grilling skills are truly amazing! This plate of lamb skewers has a golden-brown, tempting exterior, and the aroma is irresistible. How much is it?"
Qin Yi pointed to the blind box spinning wheel and the explanatory diagram next to her, then turned around and went to the car oven to get some baked buns.
Wu Gaojie read through all the instructions for the blind box roulette wheel, but he still wanted to eat the kebabs in front of him.
When Qin Yi came out, he pointed to the lamb skewers on the plate and said, "Boss, I want to eat the ones you grilled. Why don't you sell them to me and I'll transfer 99 yuan to you?"
Qin Yi thought for a moment and decided to try her best to meet the request of the first customer of the day.
"Okay, what you're eating is the Heartland BBQ blind box from the red area of the turntable, which includes eight skewers of red willow wood BBQ and a naan bread."
After speaking, Qin Yi placed the piping hot naan bread on top of the lamb skewers and handed it to the customer.
Before Wu Gaojie even started eating, the rich aroma of the barbecue wafted towards the gym entrance along with the rising smoke.
Suddenly, the hundred or so people smelled a refreshing aroma of roasted meat and began searching for the source of the smell.
Some people in the crowd shouted, "We've already joined the rights protection group, there's no point in just waiting here, let's all just disperse."
"Okay, let's notify each other in the group if anything happens."
Xia Miaomiao, who had been tricked into buying fifty personal training sessions, was drawn in by the aroma: "Since I can't work out today anyway, I might as well indulge myself! The barbecue over there smells so good. I haven't eaten my fill for days while trying to lose weight, and now even the gym has closed down. Let me have a good time!"
Luo Juncai, who had been tricked into buying lifetime personal training sessions, also headed towards the barbecue stall: "Since we're already here, if we can't get fit, we might as well gain weight. We'll make sure we don't miss out on one thing."
When everyone arrived at the barbecue stall, they saw that Wu Gaojie was already eating and praised him.
"Truly a role model for us all, you eat faster than any of us. Hey buddy, how's the barbecue here? Tell us more about it!"
Wu Gaojie was enjoying a large piece of meat with naan bread when he noticed that the fellow victims of the protests at the gym had surrounded his table in the middle, staring at him and waiting for him to speak.
He quickly stood up: "It smells so good! The mutton is fresh and delicious without any gamey smell. Instead, it has an indescribable sweetness. The cooking time is just right. Look at these golden and shiny skewers. There isn't a single burnt spot on them. The roasted meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, completely locking in the freshness and juice of the mutton. Paired with this naan bread full of wheat aroma, it's so delicious that it's killing me!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Your mouth is watering just hearing that! Boss, I want some grilled meat too!"
Qin Yi walked to the front of the crowd and stood next to the rainbow spinning wheel, saying, "Dear customers, our barbecue is served by spinning a wheel to draw blind boxes to determine which region's flavor you will get. There are detailed explanations on the side. This gentleman drew the Xinjiang Barbecue blind box. You can come and draw your own barbecue blind box."
After listening to the boss's introduction, everyone moved to the billboard to check the instructions.
"Blind box barbecue? This is the first time I've ever heard of it. It's interesting, but what if I don't get the one I want?"
"And there are 7 options here, 6 of which are barbecue from different regions. How can the owner have learned so many barbecue techniques by herself? And have so many ingredients in stock? Is that really true?"
"I don't want to eat lamb skewers now. I want to spin this wheel and try every kind of skewers to see what they taste like."
"Your stomach is going to burst!"
"How could you be so stupid? There are so many of us here, let's all share! If there's anything you don't like, you can exchange it with the other person."
"That's right! You're absolutely right! Let's each buy our own first, and then we can swap the blind boxes we've drawn based on our tastes. Maybe someone will even get a hidden one! It says here that if you collect all 7 cards, you'll get a roast suckling pig as a gift on Sunday!"
