Chapter 262: Deliciousness Often Requires Only the Simplest Ingredients.
Zhang Lin looked at his senior sister and the others' expressions and knew they must have never seen a crawdog before. After all, these creatures were already quite rare in rural areas, and if they had never lived in the countryside, they would have no chance of seeing them, let alone knowing how delicious they were. Moreover, from their expressions, it was clear they were full of disdain, probably already determined to never eat them no matter what.
He wondered what their faces would look like when they truly tasted the crawdogs.
Thinking about this, he invited them, "Senior Sister, Senior Brothers, this is a real delicacy, you must try it."
Despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
They would just eat a couple to save face for him!
After a bit more tea, Zhang Lin led them out of the office and headed to the kitchen. Zhong Miaoying followed behind, somewhat in anticipation. She had truly eaten fried crawdogs before, when her cousin had caught and fried them for her as a child. It had been a very long time since she last tasted them.
At this time, the farm restaurant had some guests, as the dining hours were very busy, and the queue was often very long. So, many smart tourists would come early to start their meals.
Zhang Lin asked the restaurant manager to arrange a table for them and then carried the bag of crawdogs into the kitchen. At that moment, not all the chefs were there; only three were busy, as it was the dining time. During other times, there was no need for all of them to be present, and they could take turns on duty.
Seeing Zhang Lin come in, the three chefs immediately greeted him. He handed the bag of crawdogs to one of the chefs and instructed, "Fry three pounds of these crawdogs first, and save the rest. Do you know how to handle them?"
The chef nodded immediately, "Boss, don't worry, I know how to handle them. These crawdogs are indeed a delicacy."
"Good," Zhang Lin nodded and walked out to the table where Senior Sister Lin and the others were sitting.
"Junior Brother, your restaurant is quite popular," Old Zhu couldn't help but praise. "If your restaurant were bigger, the revenue would probably become one of the largest projects of your farm."
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Senior Brother, some things have their pros and cons. If the restaurant were bigger, the quality of the dishes from the kitchen might not be as good as it is now."
Of course, the main reason was that the service center construction scroll from the game system only allowed the restaurant to be this size.
Old Zhu nodded in agreement.
Indeed, many private restaurants initially had excellent flavors, but once they opened branches or expanded, the taste was far inferior to before.
Frying crawdogs didn't take too long; the real time-consuming part was the cleaning process. So, after waiting for about half an hour, a plate of golden, fried crawdogs was brought out from the kitchen.
As soon as it hit the table, a unique aroma of fried food filled the air. The fried crawdogs, now golden, still looked a bit eerie.
Under normal circumstances, even timid people would probably dare not eat them. Especially Lin Muxue, who frowned slightly when she saw them. She would never eat them, even if her life depended on it.
Zhang Lin, however, couldn't wait. He picked up one and put it in his mouth, chewing it. A crispy texture and an indescribable aroma and flavor combined to form a rare delicacy. This deliciousness made his mouth water profusely.
Indeed, Zhang Lin had tasted many delicious dishes. He had eaten many dishes with +1 attributes from the restaurant and quite a few with +2 attributes. But none of them could compare to the golden, fried crawdogs in front of him.
After finishing one, he couldn't resist picking up another and putting it in his mouth, truly enjoying the deliciousness.
"Everyone, try them," Zhang Lin said with a smile.
Only Zhong Miaoying picked up one and put it in her mouth. She just wanted to recall the taste from before, but when she chewed the crawdog, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss Zhang, this is too delicious," she exclaimed. She couldn't believe it. She had eaten fried crawdogs before, but they had never been this delicious.
Zhong Miaoying's words made Old Zhu and the others look at her in surprise.
It was hard to imagine that such a pretty girl could have such a bold taste.
However, seeing how much Zhong Miaoying enjoyed it, they couldn't refuse to give it a try, especially since Little Junior Brother Zhang Lin had praised it so highly.
The two of them picked up a crawdog and put it in their mouths.
Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song did the same, grabbing a golden-fried crawdog and putting it in their mouths.
As they chewed, they immediately felt the crispy texture and the indescribable deliciousness.
They opened their mouths in disbelief.
They had tasted many delicious dishes, some of which were extremely rare and expensive, even for ordinary people.
But after tasting the crawdogs, they suddenly realized that nothing they had eaten before could compare to this.
These bugs were truly delicious.
They couldn't stop themselves from picking up another crawdog and chewing it.
They were completely hooked, feeling that they couldn't get enough, and kept picking up two or three more to put in their mouths.
For a moment, the explosion of flavor in their mouths made them lose themselves in the enjoyment.
"Senior Brothers, I didn't deceive you, right?" Zhang Lin asked with a smile.
Both of them nodded in unison:
"Little Junior Brother, this is indeed very delicious. Do you know where we can buy this?"
"Yes, at first, I only planned to eat a couple to save face for you, but I never expected it to be so delicious. I've never tasted anything like this before. Where can we buy it?"
Zhang Lin had to make something up: "Senior Brothers, these crawdogs are very rare and can't be bought in the market. I had to go through a lot of trouble and owe someone a favor to get these."
Old Zhu and Old Gu understood immediately. This must have been another special purchase through Little Junior Brother's unique channels, which were generally unavailable to the public.
They believed this because the deliciousness was truly unbelievable. There were very few things in the world that could compare to it.
If you hadn't tasted it, it was hard to imagine that a bug could be so delicious.
Lin Muxue had been observing the whole time, initially not planning to eat it. But seeing everyone at the table enjoying it so much, even the two Senior Brothers were practically devouring it, she couldn't help but be drawn in.
Could this really be so delicious?
Driven by curiosity, she tried a crawdog and put it in her mouth. As she chewed, her eyes lit up.
She had eaten many delicious dishes in her life, but this one was unlike anything she had ever experienced.
She found it hard to believe that a simple fried bug could be more delicious than the intricate dishes made by master chefs.
It didn't make sense.
Was it really true that the best flavors often come from the simplest ingredients and the simplest cooking methods?
This saying had been mocked for a long time, but now this plate of fried bugs seemed to prove its worth.
"Senior Sister, I didn't deceive you, right? Is this delicious?" Zhang Lin asked with a teasing smile.
He was intentionally teasing her, having seen her initial look of disdain and her current expression after eating one.
Lin Muxue rolled her eyes at his teasing but didn't answer his question.
However, her continued use of the chopsticks answered for her.
This was truly indescribably delicious, and she couldn't stop herself from picking up one after another.
Zhang Lin smiled, knowing they were all talking out of one side of their mouths while their bodies were enjoying it.
He also began to savor the crawdogs.
At that moment, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he answered it.
The message from the other end of the phone brought a smile to his face.
