Chapter 1591: I Am Going To Find A Man As Exceptional As Him In The Future
Rum was a liquor with a high alcohol content. Mag had it at the Falk Tribe before. Rum that had been aged for 15 years had a 50-60% alcohol content. Beer, which had only eight to nine percent, couldn’t even compare to it.
If those people who were used to drinking fruit wine and beers suddenly drank liquor with such high alcohol content, their most direct reaction was: tipsiness.
Harrison and Gjerj had already realized that this liquor’s prowess was different, so they decided to put the liquor aside, prop their heads up with their hands, and obediently wait for their food to be served.
It was fine to get drunk for an excellent liquor, but they still hadn’t tried the ‘husband and wife lung slice’ yet, so it would be a pity to get drunk now.
They had to try the new item!
This was their unified consensus.
“Your ‘husband and wife lung slice’.” Right then, Yabemiya came over, and placed a plate of “husband and wife lung slice” in between them.
“Wow. Such bright colors! What a spicy and enticing aroma! This is so seductive.” Harrison stared at the ‘husband and wife lung slice’ with wide eyes. The sliced beef and offals were placed upon one another to form a shape of a volcano in the center of the dish. A scoop of red oil was drizzled over the ‘volcano’, and it looked just like an active volcano that was about to erupt.
A handful of crushed peanuts and roasted sesame seeds was scattered over it, and a tender green cilantro was placed at the mouth of the volcano as the garnish. The bright and enticing colors together with the spicy aroma made them gulp uncontrollably.
“I have waited days for this dish. Finally, I get to eat it. Boss Mag has really made me wait for it.” Gjerj gulped before using his chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef.
The thinly sliced beef was coated with a layer of red oil and garnished with roasted sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. Whiffs of the aroma of the braised meat and red oil drifted gradually. The taste buds were already tickled even before it entered the mouth.
After Gjerj bit down, the rich aroma of the red oil and the spiciness blossomed on the tip of his tongue at the same time. Shortly after that, it was the rich aroma of the braised beef.
The soft and smooth beef disintegrated after being bitten softly. The taste buds couldn’t help quivering as they welcomed the impact of this spiciness like a tropical storm.
“Wow~”
Gjerj’s fatty flesh jiggled uncontrollably as that exquisite taste hit his body like lightning. Even his skull seemed to be cracked open.
He was going to the heavens!
Rip!
His clothes already couldn’t contain his trembling fatty flesh, and began to split open.
“Sorry, my apologies. I really cannot control it…” Gjerj tugged his clothes back, and chuckled with embarra.s.sment.
“Is it really that powerful?” Harrison raised his comical short eyebrows as he quickly picked up a piece of tripe. He was a huge fan of the hot pot’s tripe. If he hadn’t wanted to try out the new product, he would have gone for the hot pot after holding himself back for all these days.
The tripe that was sliced lengthwise was light yellow after braising. It had a natural grid on its surface with a layer of red oil coated all over it, which made it look very enticing.
Judging from their appearance, the tripes in the “husband and wife lung slice” and in the hotpot were completely different.
The hot pot’s tripe was thinly sliced, and had a unique crunchiness. Meanwhile, could this complicated and thick tripe be as scrumptious as those judges described?
Harrison couldn’t help feeling a little doubtful, but he still popped the tripe into his mouth without any hesitation.
After the tripe entered the mouth, it began to cross swords with his teeth. The thick tripe indeed wasn’t as tender as the hot pot’s tripe.
It was slightly chewier, but not too difficult to chew. It could be torn apart with a slightly harder bite, so it brought about a very amazing chewy sensation.
The aromatic spicy red oil, the roasted sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts began to blossom at the tip of his tongue as if they were a marching band in red uniforms solemnly introducing the tripe with noisy music.
The aroma of the marinate was so rich as if it had seeped into every inch of the tripe. Then, it simmered, simmered before exploding!
The aroma of the red oil, marinate, and the tripe fought such an enjoyable battle on the tip of the tongue. It was so intense that Harrison’s taste buds were too busy to handle them. They could only lament with amazement before surrendering completely.
“Spicy and enjoyable! It is indeed comparable to the hot pot’s tripe! This tripe is indeed fantastic. This is an irresistible delicacy!” Harrison already felt slightly awake from his tipsiness. He couldn’t help taking a big gulp of the beer while feeling the spiciness in his mouth.
Awesome alcoholic beverages together with awesome food escalated his enjoyment to the next level.
“This is really the best dish to go with alcohol,” Harrison praised.
“I agree. Boss Mag gave me a new understanding of beef with a new cooking method again.” Gjerj nodded in agreement. The spiciness coupled with the alcohol made sweat bead on his forehead. The term “refres.h.i.+ng” wasn’t even enough to describe this sensation.
As it was a new product that was highly antic.i.p.ated, many customers ordered the “husband and wife lung slice” tonight.
Vivian and Luna were sitting at a table for two in a corner. They had a spicy grilled fish and a freshly served “husband and wife lung slice” on their table.
“Vivian, do you think this dish is really made with a pair of husband and wife’s lung slices?” Luna peered at the big plate of red “husband and wife lung slice” in front of her. This scary name gave her scary thoughts.
Vivian leaned slightly forward and waved her hand at Luna as she whispered, “Come here, let me tell you a little secret.”
“What’s it?” Luna leaned forward perplexedly.
“My father said that loving married couples have been disappearing mysteriously lately, and whenever their bodies are found, their lungs…” Vivian revealed a scary smile on her face.
“Ah…” Luna was so afraid that she leaned back, and made a soft sound as she stared at the “husband and wife lung slice” with fear. That attracted questioning looks from the customers sitting at the tables around them.
“Hahaha…” Vivian was laughing so hard that there were tears at the corners of her eyes. She could only stop after a while. “Their lungs were intact.”
“Y-you rascal. You only know to lie to me and frighten me.” Luna looked at Vivian with anger and resignation before she nodded to the customers around them to express her apologies.
“I didn’t expect our Teacher Luna would believe such stories, either.” Vivian shrugged. She couldn’t wait to pick up a piece of ox scalp with her chopsticks. “All these are made with beef and beef offal. Although it is called ‘husband and wife lung slice’, there isn’t even a piece of ox lung in there. Boss Mag is really getting more and more misleading when naming his dishes.”
“So it’s beef?” Luna heaved a breath of relief upon hearing that.
“Yes. You see, this is a piece of ox scalp.” Vivian put the ox scalp against the light, and the light shone through the gelatinous ox scalp. A layer of red oil was coating the semi-transparent ox scalp, and it looked extremely tantalizing. She couldn’t help praising it. “It’s indeed done by Boss Mag. Even a piece of ox scalp is so artistically made. I am going to find a man as exceptional as him in the future, or else I shall remain single forever.”
