Chapter 50: His First Barbecue
Under her burning gaze, Miles could only nod in acknowledgment.
He couldn’t even recognize the words on the menu.
Tang Yu found that side of him extremely cute. She held back her laughter as plans to tease him already started to transpire in her mind.
She ran downstairs and added a few more dishes to their order.
A fragrant barbecue was soon served.
The long bamboo sticks were dressed in succulent mutton, beef, and pork together with Zhao Xiaofeng’s favorite roasted eggplant, roasted potatoes, and roasted leeks.
Their eyes lit up as they opened a few bottles of beer, gobbling it down without hesitation.
Beer and barbecue, what a perfect match!
Miles kept staring at the overcooked food on the table, completely unable to understand the way Chinese cuisine was meant to be eaten. How would he still be able to taste the original flavor of the ingredients after roasting them with so many seasonings?
Could such things really be eaten?
Tang Yu and Zhao Xiaofeng ate with relish, one string after another. After finishing off the first batch, Tang Yu realized that Miles had not made a move at all.
“Miles, it’s very delicious. Hurry up and try one.”
He appeared to be reluctant.
“Trust me, my dear.” Tang Yu smiled as she handed him a skewer of mutton.
Miles was worried about what would happen to their stomachs after they ate the mutton, which had only cost them a few dollars. He brought the skewer to his mouth, sniffing it with the utmost care. He could not detect anything wrong with it.
This kind of food was very dangerous. The fragrance of the seasoning could cover too many things. If someone had tampered with it, it would be completely undetectable.
Suddenly, Tang Yu moved closer to his mouth. Between her white teeth, she held a piece of beef.
Aggressively, she leaned forward, pushing the meat into his mouth.
The moment the roasted meat touched the tip of his tongue, a hint of surprise flashed across Miles’ eyes.
It was so delicious!
He had never tasted such a rich and stimulating taste!
In his memories, there were thousands of ways to prepare beef. In order to increase its taste, most of them needed to be marinated. When he ate it, he would dip it in different sauces to reflect a different flavor each time.
The beef skewer in front of him had been made with extremely cheap meat, and yet, it had such an excellent taste which only made him want more
“Is it good?” Tang Yu gave him a skewer of each type.
“It’s Good!” Miles’ appetite was awakened as he began to boldly try everything.
A big bite of barbecue. A big sip of cold beer. It felt like heaven!
“But all the Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in the past had no barbecue.” Miles was puzzled.
“Because barbecue is not considered a dish.” Tang Yu smiled and explained, “Eating barbecue is more of a feeling, a free and easy feeling. Miles, I ordered a lot of things that you’ve never eaten before, so just be free and eat anything you want.”
Miles had become proactive, indicating clearly that he was now willing to try all kinds of food.
Tang Yu and Zhao Xiaofeng looked at each other, smiling and blinking mischievously.
Not long after, the waiter brought a few metal plates up and placed them in front of Miles.
Miles suddenly felt that something was wrong. He frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched partially. He asked his wife, a hint of pleading in his voice. “What… What are these things?”
Tang Yu happily pointed at the things on the plate and introduced them. “This is a roasted pig’s brain. It’s very delicious! This is a fertilized egg. It’s an egg that was about to hatch into a chicken. Look, this is the head of the chicken, its wings, its feet…”
Three days after his discovery of barbecue, Miles called his best friends out for a meal.
Adam and Adela had never been to Chinatown before wither, and scoffed at such a noisy place.
“Miles, why did you bring us to such a place? It’s beneath you.”
“Well, you asked me to bring you guys to go play, so here we are!. Good brothers, we share happiness and adversity together. I’ll treat you to a meal as a reward. You should thank me later.”
Adam snorted. “Thank you…”
As they walked into the shop, Tang Yu had already ordered, and was already seated as she awaited their arrival.
Adam glanced at the bill. Seeing that it was only $36, he began to worry anxiously about his future.
Sure enough, his sixth sense had been accurate.
The restaurant’s boss brought out a plate of pig brains, fertilized eggs, cicada pupae, pig’s stomach, lung slices, duck blood, and lamb waist.
There was even grilled spring fish.
When they saw the fish’s head, Adam and Adela’s expressions fell.
“Oh, no! I can’t eat these things!”
“It’s very delicious, my friends.” Miles did not hide his evil smile in front of his brothers. “You must each have a taste, otherwise, you’d be implying you’re dissatisfied with me marrying a Chinese wife.”
“Miles, you devil! I won’t eat it. I won’t eat it! Help!” Adam ran out of Chinatown in his designer suit.
