Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet - Chapter 37
Chapter 37: The Highest Level of Eating Grilled Meat
“… During ancient times, grilled meat was the imperial food for the Turkey royal family as well as the Persian palace. However, as time passed, it was introduced to local folks. In western countries especially Europe, grilled meat has become a common supper on the menu in bars and clubs. The same goes to Middle East countries. Every house must have crispy grilled meat, tasty salad, hot steaming pancake or rice.”
“I have read a news before. CNN has listed out the top 5 barbecue restaurants in the world. It includes Barbar Restaurant in Beirut, Lebanon; Birbicer Kebap Salonu in Adana City, South Turkey; Nagi Restaurant in Abu Ghosh, Israel… I think it should be the correct pronunciation. In Israel, this barbecue restaurant is the favorite place for both Jews and Arabians. Furthermore, do not forget the kebab which is famous in Santorini, Greece and Karaiskakis, Athens, as well as the Salva Restaurant in Bijar, Iran. They all have their own native specialty and their tastes are more leaning towards the western style. Personally, I think CNN has forgotten to list in the Chinese Barbecue.”
Chen B-Dog smiled secretly, “I believe we all love to eat grilling food. In the eyes of most people, the Chinese barbecue is only talking about those stalls by the roadside. But I am telling you, Chinese food is extensive and profound. Do you want to know the highest level of eating grilling meat?”
The audience enormously enthusiastic responded.
“I am impressed. Lord B-Dog is bringing more and more surprises. You even know the local customs and practices of other countries.”
“Chinese barbecue is famous around the world.”
“You speak well, please continue to talk. I will reward you if your speech is great.”
“Holy sh*t, I only know the roadside barbecue. It seems like my level is too low.”
Sunset Dust, “Lord B-Dog, don’t keep us guessing. Go on. And one more thing, I love you, love you more and more!”
Chen B-Dog was pretty surprise to see a friend he knew, “Eh, pretty Sunset Dust you are here. Long time no see. Sunset Dust is considered a regular audience. I did not have much of popularity when I started the live broadcast. Sunset Dust, Chen C-Dog, Guanqi, Chief Cow were the earliest people who sent me Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Then, Sunset Dust did not show up for a long time. I hope you can come to watch my live broadcast more in future. Guys, please help me to send the pop-out comment “Welcome Sunset Dust” together.”
So, out of sudden, the intellectual lady who was surfing the internet in a villa at South China experienced the feeling of a few million people commenting “Welcome Sunset Dust” at the same time. “It is an unexpected surprise.”
She was a little touched. Without thinking much, she clicked 100 Buddha Jumps over the Wall and sent out.
“Sunset Dust treats Chen B-Dog 100 Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Everyone, quickly go grab the treasure box!”
The red banner floated at the upper part of all rooms in the entire platform. Most of the anchors were getting used to it. This was not the first time. You could find tycoons everywhere. They could easily send one hundred thousand as they liked. To them, it seemed like spending ten dollars only.
And now, the audience was much happier. “Wow, Female tycoon! Please take me home!”, “I had enough of this world who likes handsome or pretty faces. When the women see a handsome boy, they could be more generous than the men!”, “Request for the photo of female tycoon.”, “Is Sunset Dust a beauty?”…
Chen B-Dog thanked her for the gifts sent to him. He smiled and said, “Back to the topic. As an experienced senior foodie, let me tell you the highest level of eating grilled food.”
“It is said that these method of grilling can be found in heaven only. You can hardly smell them on earth. The first among them is Meng Zhong Barbecue at Changsha. This shop is located at the busy night market of Changsha. The business is very good. It could sell out twenty to thirty thousands of barbecue sticks in a day. At the peak hour, you have to queue and wait for more than 200 people. But the main point is, everyone is willing to wait. No one could resist the temptation of delicacy. Its chicken, garlic, butter, tofu, streaky pork, yellow-throated bunting and pickled carrot are superb. As the people of Changsha enjoys barbecue very much, it shows signs of developing into principal food.”
“The second one would be in the northeast. The first law of the northeasterners: there is nothing a barbecue meal can’t handle. If there is, then it is two meals. Basically, there is nothing that can’t be grilled by the northeasterners. For instance, they grill silkworms and it looks like grilling chicken wings. The silkworms are very nutritious. The protein content of one silkworm is equivalent to two eggs. Anyone tried before? Other than these, there are many other strange ingredients like locust, lamb kidney, centipede and sparrow.”
“As a northeasterner, I am very impressed. I will try the barbecue silkworm later.”, “I’ll rate you 99 marks, unafraid of your arrogance.”
As a professional foodie, whenever they talked about the food, they could not stop the discussion and speak continuously.
“… And friends who stay at Jinzhou, you are lucky to have nice food. Jinzhou is the only one city that listed barbecue as the intangible cultural heritage. You must try the grilled meat if you travel to Jinzhou! What is the specialty of Jinzhou’s barbecue? They can grill everything flying in the sky and swimming in the water, except the airplane. I know there is a small but famous chicken feet barbecue restaurant which had been operating for more than twenty years and it is the godlike level barbecue restaurant in Jinzhou. The signature food of the restaurant is the chicken’s feet. The chicken’s feet alone could achieve six to seven big pots of sales a day. In other words, the restaurant is selling five to six hundred sticks of grilled meat daily. Almost every table would order this dish!”
“Definitely, my grill wolf meat is not bad either. Even if you wish to try, you might not have the chance. Cut the wolf meat into the shape of tofu but not too thin. Keep rolling the meat during grilling. And put some mushroom powder and blueberry sauce at the right time. It absorbs the seasoning fully.”
He did not stop grilling when he was talking. Considering the smell of the wolf meat was relatively heavy, he put extra effort to process the meat. He made a few cuts on the meat but did not cut through. The meat was grilled in golden color and it made the audience feel hungry.
Chen B-Dog took a big bite… “Erm, not bad. Its fragrance is overflowing. It is incomparable delicious.”
“Bravo.”
“Verification is done. You are a gourmet indeed.”
“Anybody wants to go out for barbecue?”
“Lord B-Dog, no wonder you were so fat before. It is all because of the food.”
Chen B-Dog continued his journey after eating. When he crossed the primitive stone forest, he had the illusion of passing through another world.
“It is really primitive. The entire stone forest is claimed to have fabulous stones, beautiful views and quiet environments. Its current look can be traced back hundreds of millions of years ago. The internal and external dynamic geological formation formed its current shape. The shapes of stones are unique and full of Heirographen. You may utilize your imagination at here. It is hidden in the primitive jungle and no one has visited since thousand years ago.”
Each of the stones had different shape and they were really awe-inspiring. The highest stone forest was more than 40 meters. Some stones were very grand and magnificent like the ancient castle while the mountains rolled over one another. Generally, the shapes of the stones were very special. For example, some stones looked like the fairy maiden, lion, bear, tortoise and frog. It marked the thousands of postures and was very true to the real creature. People could expand their imagination to relate the stones with living creatures.
Walking along the giant stone forest, the long wait was worth for the live broadcast audience as they could enjoy watching the scenery.
A few hundred scenes and natural phenomenon such as One Line Sky, Dragon Head Rock, Thousand Layers Rock, Stone Tower and Echo Wall were truly really extraordinary and impressive.
Suddenly, Chen B-Dog discovered something when he passed by a col. The camera aimed to the direction where B-Dog pointed, “Look everyone, there is a color rock painting here.” On a giant rock wall, someone had used multi colors to draw an abstract painting on the wall. It covered more than ten square meters area and the contents could be roughly categorized into 6 groups combining more than 50 single paintings.
Let alone the audience, even Chen B-Dog was amazed by the painting. “I am not familiar with Archaeology. Look at the painting, it was fairly well preserved. The painter drew the rock painting in a simple and interesting way that could be easily understood. I guess the painter is trying to draw the sacrificial scene. Most of the patterns are celestial. I suppose it represents the sacrificial ceremony to express the respect to the Sun, the Moon, Stars and Cloud.”
“I do not know if anyone has discovered this rock painting before and whether there is any research significance on archaeology? Hey there knowledgeable friends, you may contact the professional organization to confirm it.”
“As ancient Chinese saying, it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books! Only then could only have a chance to bump into the giant rock painting in the wild. However, I have to leave now.”
Chen B-Dog did not linger further. But there were some northeastern archaeologists that were curious and interested in the giant ancient rock painting that suddenly showed up in the deep forest. After a detailed inspection, they confirmed this was the extremely rare rock painting worldwide and had great value to investigate it. Later on, they would establish a professional research team to arrange for the protection and development of this place.
However, that was another story. Nevertheless, it had set an invisible magical halo on the live broadcast of Chen B-Dog’s journey.
