Chapter 196: Montee, the vampire who came knocking again
The more high-quality the ingredients, the simpler the cooking method.
Just like the way roasted lamb is prepared, by skewering freshly slaughtered lamb on red willow branches and grilling it, you can taste the most authentic and delicious roasted lamb.
The quality of this beef goes without saying.
Charlotte worked at a barbecue restaurant for two months during the summer break and had never seen such high-quality beef.
Although the condiments are not complete, the excellent quality of the beef conceals the shortcomings of the condiments and highlights the true flavor of the beef.
The transparent layers of fat glisten like tiny crystals on top of the beef, and the sauce is brushed on delicately and evenly.
The surface of the grilled meat shimmers with a faint sheen, with wisps of smoke swirling above, presenting a refined appearance.
"I've seen whole roasted lamb and whole roasted beef, but this is the first time I've seen it sliced into small pieces and skewered," Vivian said, completely captivated by the aroma of the grilled meat.
"But it smells so good!"
Kasha stood beside her, her throat bobbing, fascinated by the seemingly complex cooking method but entranced by the enticing aroma that was reminiscent of the ocean.
Anna was the most impatient one.
Standing on a stool next to the grill, she had already started extending her left paw, itching to grab a skewer and eat it first.
"Come on, you go ahead and eat," Charlotte placed the first batch of ten beef skewers on a tray to the side, then took another ten skewers from a nearby bowl and started flipping them on the grill. He said, "Give Anna one first."
"Meow~"
Anna glanced at him, seemingly very content with his arrangement.
"Okay," Vivian picked up a skewer of grilled beef and placed it on Anna's plate.
She also took one for herself and said, while feeding herself, "Then I'll try it first."
As she bit into the beef, her eyes instantly lit up.
The delicious sauce on the surface of the beef awakened her taste buds in an instant.
With a gentle chew, the meat juices splashed in her mouth, creating an incredible harmony with the sauce and seasonings.
It was like a fireball exploding in her mouth, then turning into numerous fireballs of incredible flavors.
The taste exploded completely.
The more she enjoyed it, the more frequent the bursts of flavors became, making her unable to resist chewing faster and faster.
It became an interesting cycle that she couldn't stop, until she swallowed the meat into her stomach, still leaving behind a lingering and unforgettable aroma between her lips and teeth.
The beef was cut into pieces of two square centimeters, and each bite brought great satisfaction.
The happiness brought by good food made Vivian feel as if all the fatigue in her body had vanished. She couldn't stop eating one piece of beef after another.
It had to be said, this way of cutting the meat into small pieces and skewering them on bamboo sticks was quite interesting!
Not only was it delicious, but it also made one feel warm all over.
In this gradually cooling early winter season, eating freshly grilled beef skewers was truly blissful.
He and Vivian were the main eaters, while Kasha couldn't eat as much. She was full after just a dozen skewers.
Anna, on the other hand, ate ten skewers and her belly was round and bulging.
Dinner was over by now, and she comfortably lay on her chair, holding her little paws, closing her eyes in contentment.
Everyone was satisfied with this all-beef feast.
Charlotte's biggest regret was not being able to have a pint of draft beer. It was such amazing beef skewers, and they were paired with plain water, which felt like a waste.
After dinner, Charlotte went downstairs and took the metal crown that Guy had delivered from the counter.
The crown was golden in color, and when the light hit it, it was dazzling and eye-catching.
However, it wasn't pure gold but an alloy made by combining gold with a high-hardness metal. It was quite hard and couldn't be compared to soft gold.
This was the first time Guy had made this style of golden crown. Usually, he would directly make a whole golden tooth for customers and fix it onto the adjacent teeth with wires.
But Charlotte had more refined requirements, so it wasn't finished until this evening when Guy sent it over.
Charlotte carefully inspected it under the light and nodded with satisfaction.
Guy's craftsmanship was indeed good. These three crowns were made perfectly, especially the pointed one.
Of course, he still had to see the final result after it was installed.
Before long, there was a knock on the door.
Charlotte walked to the door, but before he could say anything, a familiar voice came from outside, "It's me."
He opened the door, and this time, Montee was standing at the door instead of hanging upside down.
"Come in, the crown is ready, I can install it for you later," Charlotte said.
"Really?!" Montee's eyes instantly lit up.
In these past few days, he had become somewhat impressed with Charlotte's medical skills.
Since that day when Charlotte cleaned his teeth, his teeth hadn't hurt again.
He had even eaten grass for a few days and had begun to enjoy the feeling of eating grass.
Of course, this enjoyment could only be kept secretly in his heart.
If other vampires found out, he would be laughed at.
Because he was missing a fang, he hadn't dared to go out and attend vampire gatherings lately.
As the public face of Abyssal Vampires, he needed a new tooth, so he could go out and socialize.
No matter how much he liked it, as a vampire who lived by blood, he couldn't eat grass every day!
