Chapter 165 Secret Sauce
The moment the lid is unscrewed.
The subtle sweetness of caramel, the rich aroma of soy sauce, the unique fragrance of spices, and a hint of delicate fragrance intertwine together.
The flavor is strong, but not pungent.
"This contains rock sugar, star anise, cinnamon and other spices, as well as light soy sauce and a little apple puree. The apple puree helps to cut through the greasiness and enhance the flavor, making it especially suitable for grilling meat."
The crowd was silent for two seconds.
The man who had just pulled out a few extra ten-yuan bills looked a little embarrassed.
He glanced at the sauce, then at the money in his hand, pulled out two bills, and forcibly stuffed them into Chen Yuan's hand.
"I'm so sorry about earlier, but we can't just take this sauce you went through so much trouble to make. How about this much, is that alright?"
After saying that, she seemed afraid that Chen Yuan would change his mind.
The man quickly scooped some sauce with a disposable plate and spoon from the folding table, then turned and walked towards his tent.
Chen Yuan quickly called out.
"Don't rush, I also have cooking instructions. Listen to them before you leave!"
The man's leg bent, and he came back.
Chen Yuan pointed to the grill.
"When you're checking the heat, don't just look at the flame; look at the color of the charcoal. Don't roast it over an open flame, as it's very easy to burn. Lay the charcoal flat and wait until you see a layer of white ash on the surface; that's when the temperature is most stable."
"After you put the meat on, you need to listen to the sound. If it's a very even sizzling sound, it's fine. If it's a crackling sound, it's not good."
Then, Chen Yuan picked up the paintbrush.
"You also need to be mindful of the timing when applying the sauce. You can't apply it to raw meat; wait until the surface has hardened and the fat has been rendered out before applying it."
"This way, the sauce can caramelize instantly during preheating, forming a protective film that holds in the juices of the meat. But don't brush on too much, or it will become bitter and sticky. Just brush on a thin layer."
Everyone listened very attentively.
I was afraid of missing a single word.
Those with bad memories quickly pulled out their phones and started tapping away on the screen.
The man asked, "Is there any particular technique to grilling steak?"
Chen Yuan flipped the meat skewers on his grill and then held up three fingers.
"It's simple. After removing the meat from the heat, don't eat it immediately. If you want to be more particular, you can gently cover it with aluminum foil and wait a few minutes to allow the juices to flow back in. This will make the taste even better."
Chen Yuan looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were on his face, so he smiled.
"You can't learn a skill quickly, but give it a try. I think you can grill delicious meat skewers too."
The crowd fell silent for a few seconds.
Then the crowd erupted in excitement, mimicking the young man and stuffing money into Chen Yuan's hand.
Everyone could see clearly that the man had slipped in two 10,000-yuan bills, so no one felt comfortable slipping in too little; some gave one bill, others gave two.
A few minutes later, the sauce jar was empty, and Chen Yuan had a heavy stack of ten-yuan notes in his hand.
Chen Youyou and Su Yuanrui, who were standing to the side, were both dumbfounded.
Chen Youyou even clapped her hands.
"Dad, you're so amazing! So many people are giving you money! Dad, you've made so much money, you're incredible!"
Chen Yuan smiled and patted Chen Youyou's head.
Then he handed the money in his hand to Su Qingxue, who was standing next to him.
"Could you keep this for me?"
Su Qingxue pursed her lips and said somewhat shyly.
"What are you going to do with your money?"
"Could you keep it for me?"
Su Qingxue blushed slightly, feeling awkward about saying something in front of the two children, before finally accepting the money.
"I'll keep this for you. Just let me know when you need it."
Chen Yuan looked at Su Qingxue, his gaze gradually becoming deep and soft.
the other side.
The first man to pay had already adjusted his oven and took a deep breath.
He followed Chen Yuan's instructions exactly, and waited until the charcoal fire was completely covered with white ash before placing a thick-cut steak on top.
Next, patiently wait for the surface to cook through, and then, just before flipping it over, gently brush on a layer of sauce.
Flip it over after a few seconds and continue grilling.
Immediately, that enticing aroma wafted out.
"Wow! It smells amazing!"
After spreading the sauce on both sides, slowly grill it.
The steak was cooked very quickly.
He covered it with tin foil, waited a few minutes, and then couldn't wait to uncover it.
The moment the knife cut in, clear meat juice slowly flowed out from the cut surface.
He took a bite.
The sauce flavor has completely permeated the steak, the outer layer is perfect with a slightly charred and crispy crust, and the inside is tender and juicy.
Although it doesn't have a captivating or alluring quality.
But it's already much better than what he usually does.
He closed his eyes, savoring the delicious taste of the beef.
"I'm convinced, truly convinced!"
But at the same time, the man also felt a great sense of regret.
Even with my own skill level, the taste and texture are a whole new level. If Chen Yuan were to make it, it would be heaven-class!
He's not the only one with this idea.
The couple in the next tent did the same, grilling crispy yet tender pork belly with a rich sauce, which they ate in one go.
Families with children also tried it, and the kids ate it even more heartily after brushing on the sauce.
As the skewers at each campsite were turned over, the aroma rose and gathered continuously.
"It smells so good! It tastes so good!"
"This sauce is so delicious! Why didn't I think of putting apples in it?"
"It's really fatty but not greasy after baking, and the sauce is very refreshing."
"Should we ask about the recipe? But it seems like a proprietary recipe, they probably won't tell us, right?"
The charcoal fire crackled and popped.
Chen Yuan ate as he grilled, his stomach was almost full.
Su Qingxue and her two children were quite strong fighters, especially Su Yuanrui, who insisted on eating the vegetables that Chen Yuan had personally prepared.
The minced garlic on the roasted eggplant sizzled.
Chen Yuan moved it to a small plate next to him.
"Here you go, Rui Rui, this is the eggplant you wanted to eat the most, but you have to eat it slowly, it's very hot right now."
Su Yuanrui's mouth was covered in oil from eating, and like a little adult, he pointed to the foil-baked enoki mushrooms next to him.
"Uncle, when can we eat this?"
"Wait a little longer."
Chen Yuan patiently talked to the two children.
While he was distracted, he didn't notice that a few meters away, several people were pointing their phones at him.
One of them was a young blogger who came to film a camping guide.
At this moment, his camera and eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan.
You'd never guess!
"I met the god of barbecue today!"
