Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 43

The barbecue restaurant recommended by Tang Yu was on the side of the park, and they arrived quickly.

     This barbecue restaurant was different from what An Yinong had seen before. First of all, they could see the wooden square tables and benches arranged in the flat yard, with transparent tempered glass overhead. Next was a long row of open kitchens. In addition to the workstations where the chefs worked, there were also food cabinets, refrigerators, barrel beer cabinets…

     These open-air wooden square tables were very unique. The middle board could be removed, put on the grill, and cooked yourself.

     Of course, if you feel that your grilling skills are not up to par and you want to eat ready-made, you can skip the grill and ask the waiter to bring the food that the chef had just grilled.

     “There are a lot of people.” An Yinong wore a hat and a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes. Now his eyes were scanning around, curiously looking at the diners who were warming themselves while grilling in the yard. The aroma of fat floated in the air, making people’s fingers twitch.

     “Where to order?” He couldn’t wait.

     “Don’t worry,” Tang Yu said, “let’s go there to choose the ingredients first.”

     “Is there a constant-temperature refrigerator for beef aging?” In the open kitchen, An Yinong discovered a good thing – a constant-temperature refrigerator. There were various grades of beef inside, and according to the naked eye, some of them had reached M8~9 level.

     Thinking of the delicious taste of snowflake beef, his mouth watered.

     “Beef above M6 has more fat and a stronger milk flavor, while beef below M6 has a lower fat ratio and has a more beefy feel.” Tang Yu used a wonderful adjective, beefy.

     “How do you eat on weekdays?” An Yinong turned to ask him.

     “You can use high-fat beef to heat the pot, but I usually prefer M5 and M6.” Tang Yu said a few parts that he usually ate a lot, such as beef ribs, short ribs, triangular steak, thin skirt…

     An Yinong, who was quite restrained in eating, asked: Does a cow have so many parts? So are all these parts delicious?

     An Yinong, who was deeply aware of his lack of “barbecue knowledge”, surrounded Tang Yu. Tang Yu couldn’t help but talk more and more, so much so that the guests behind him couldn’t help coughing: “If you don’t order, can you give way? “

     Tang Yu: “…Ahem, sorry.”

     Afterwards, Tang Yu took An Yinong to his favourite private room, which contained a huge aquatic tank with little fish swimming among the aquatic plants.

     “The owner of this store has really good taste.” An Yinong stood near the aquatic tank. This was the aquatic plant tank that he had been trying to grow for several years without success! How could they be raised so well? The water was not turbid either.

     Tang Yu liked the way he looked at this moment, full of life: “What do you want to eat?”

     “Let’s have a beef short rib. I like it with a stronger milk flavor.” An Yinong sat down and saw the recommended menu today: grilled sea urchin with egg, a delicacy from the sea.

     Above was an enlarged photo of golden roasted sea urchin, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and with a ‘poor, helpless’ expression on it. Next to it was a line of small words: I look like this and you still eat me?

     An Yinong found it interesting, so he took the ordering pen and wrote next to the sea urchin:

     How can you look like this if you don’t taste good?! Logical.

     “Look, isn’t that interesting?” He poked at the sea urchin on the menu.

     “Well, it’s interesting.” Tang Yu said: The person who poked the sea urchin was more interesting.

     Looking through the menu, An Yinong ordered a plate of M8 short ribs, meat skewers, and beef brisket. However, after counting the calories, he reluctantly removed the beef brisket, and then turned his attention to seafood.

     Those cooked in shell include scallops, oysters, abalone, lobster, shrimp… And those that were fried or grilled on skewers include seed-filled squid, split fish heads, flat eels… An Yinong hesitated for a long time looking at the menu. Every picture on it looked so delicious.

     He ordered more than twenty kinds in one breath, including meat, vegetables, sea, land and air. Afterwards, he decreased to only about ten kinds. Just like that, the heat tonight has doubled.

     At this time, there was someone next door who kept tempting him: “Is that all? The food here is very good. Look at the honey-grilled wings, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chicken is full of collagen, not bad at all, and tastes sweet. It’s not greasy, fragrant and tender. There’s also this grilled lamb chop, evenly sprinkled with spices…”

     “…Brother Yu is different from what I imagined.” An Yinong said quietly.

     Tang Yu stopped his bad taste and asked, “How do you say that?”

     “At first I thought you were a really serious person who rarely talks. I didn’t expect that you would become so lively when it comes to eating.”

     “Uh.” Tang Yu realized that he indeed talked a lot more than usual, as if he couldn’t control himself. So was he being disliked for being verbose?

     Seeing his reaction, An Yinong smiled instead: “I think Brother Yu looks more relaxed and natural when he talks a lot, which is very cute.”

     As soon as the cute comment came out, Tang Yu’s face turned red visibly. He stood up and said, “I’m going to get something to drink.”

     “Can I ask for a drink?” An Yinong raised his hand.

     Tang Yu, who had already reached the door, turned around and said, “I can only drink a little.”

     Just as An Yinong was enjoying his night, another invisible cyber war was starting.

     The one who first issued the order to attack was the capital behind Zhang Ruojun. He really did not perform well today. He was ridiculed by the crowd on the Internet, and the fan base began to be in chaos.

     “Until a new substitute is developed, the name Zhang Ruojun cannot fail.” Zhang Ruojun’s boss said.

     Their company combined their efforts and simply said that there was something shady about the program team and that the reason why Zhang Ruojun behaved like this was because of the script. It could be seen from the edited video that Zhang Ruojun had always been targeted by the program crew. Tonight’s big winner, Ke Yinong, was the booking royal family.

     The program team was furious, where did the script come from? Even if there was an airborne landing, it will still be his ‘top class’, right?

     However, the fans didn’t care about this. They rushed to defend the aggrieved streamer, scolding the program team and the “program royal” Ke Yinong.

     “It takes three hours to compose lyrics and music? Do you really think you are a genius? You are stepping on our Junjun to build momentum, and you will die!”

     There were a lot of curses on An Yinong’s account, which aroused the anger of ‘Gu Mi’ and fans of the show. Even the three regular guests who had just returned home and had not yet fallen asleep got up and left messages.

     “The only thing that can convince me is strength. Ke Yinong convinced me. Not convinced? Hold it in if you don’t.” From An Min.

     “A wise man sees wisdom, and a fool sees foolishness. I believe that everyone is wise, and Ke Yinong deserves the title of champion.” From teacher Guo.

     “The rat in the gutter, his eyes are so red that they are rotting, aren’t you? Are you worthy?” From Baiyou.

     At this time, Zhang Ruojun himself came forward: “I originally admired senior Ke Yinong. I even entered the industry for him and became his assistant. But this time, I am really disappointed.”

     My goodness, what did he mean by this? Passers-by were confused. Was this because the celebrities themselves ended up fighting? Fans feel that they were inspired by their idols. They were like warriors who took up arms. They appear in all the videos where “Ke Yinong” appears.

     Those crazy curses could hardly be deleted, one after another appears. The words they used were so vicious that they make you feel sick to your stomach just by looking at them.

     “The situation is a bit out of control.” The agent frowned while watching the carnival on the Internet, but he couldn’t call Zhang Ruojun’s mobile phone.

     “Don’t care? It doesn’t matter?” Zhang Ruojun, who was sitting alone in the dark, looked at his phone and sneered, “I’m already like this anyway, why don’t we suffer together?”

     An Yinong had no idea about these things. The waiter had just taken away the menu and he was stroking his rumbling stomach and waiting for food.

     “Ding dong.”

     The department manager of the brand where the advertisement was previously shot called: “Is this Ke Yinong?”

     “It’s me, hello Miss Song.”

     “Stop being so outspoken, call me Sister Weiwei.” A light laugh came from the other end, “By the way, your perfume advertisement will be officially launched tomorrow. At that time, you will appear on the big screens in the city center. And your music.”

     An Yinong’s eyes slightly curved: “Thank you for your hard work, sister Weiwei.”

     “You’re welcome. Let’s eat together? I know a great late-night snack restaurant.” Song Wei invited.

     “Today? I just happened to have a barbecue with my friends today. How about I invite you another day? I haven’t thanked Sister Weiwei properly yet.” An Yinong said politely.

     “Barbecuing? That’s really good. This season is suitable for grilling meat around the stove.”

     Song Wei also thought of a barbecue enthusiast: “Speaking of which, my cousin also likes to eat barbecue, but he never eats barbecue with others because he is afraid that other people’s saliva will splash on his meat. Tsk, tsk, tsk, except for his face, really There’s nothing satisfying about it.”

     “This is what people with mysophobia are like.” What An Yinong could say, he could only say this.

     “Haha, I just dislike others. You also know my cousin, but…” When Song Wei was complaining, Tang Yu happened to come in from outside, holding three-color ice cream balls and ice-cold green plum wine in his hands.

     “That’s your former boss!”

     An Yinong blinked.

     “If you like the milky flavor, you can try this ice cream.” Tang Yu, who was clueless, pushed the ice cream over.

     “Eh? I seem to have heard my cousin’s voice?… Maybe I heard it wrong. He is an insulator in the world. How can he have a barbecue with others?”

     An Yinong: “…”

     “Ah, my friend is back, let’s chat later.” An Yinong hung up the phone, “It’s the general manager of the fashion brand we worked with before, Miss Song Wei.”

     “What did she say?” Tang Yu became nervous. He carefully recalled his dark history with his cousin: There shouldn’t be any dark history, right?

     An Yinong looked at Tang Yu who was a little uncomfortable with a smile, but finally let him go: “It means that the advertisement will be officially launched tomorrow.”

     “Oh.” Tang Yu’s shoulders relaxed.

     “It’s a good thing. This episode of “Singer-Songwriter” will be broadcast again tomorrow. After tomorrow, they will get to know you again.”

     “Brother Yu has so much confidence in me?”

     “No,” Tang Yu said, “I just believe in the public’s judgment. They know what is good and what is bad.”

     After a while, the baking pan, ingredients, and spices all arrived. An Yinong thought that Tang Yu’s ‘top steak hot pan’ was just a joke until he saw Tang Yu’s M9 small-row hot pan.

     Tang Yu picked up a piece and spread it on the hot iron plate. The fat in the beef melted instantly, and the aroma of beef burst out. An Yinong was hungry. After the entire iron grill pan was sizzling with oil, Tang Yu started to grill the meat.

     Put the beef cubes that have been cut into long strips directly on top. Grill two finger-thick pieces of meat for a minute and a half on one side, spray some oil, sprinkle with powdered black pepper and salt, then rub it with rosemary and garlic cloves, then flip and grill the other side.

     The grilled meat is placed on a piece of clean lettuce, spread with a little sauce, then put on some red fish roe and wrapped. It was brought to An Yinong’s mouth. He was a little unaccustomed to it, but when he raised his head, he was met with expectant eyes.

     There was no malice or trap in Tang Yu’s eyes.

     “Want to try?”
