Gourmet Style Beast Taming - Chapter 107
Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Dismantling the Crab
Translator: 549690339
Patting his now empty stomach, Qin Lang looked at the lively Hairy Crab in the aquaculture tank beside him, “We can start preparing dinner now.”
“Tonight, we’ll use the Hairy Crab to make Crab Roe Fried Rice, and then make Orange Flavored Shrimp with oranges and Black Tiger Shrimp.”
“Gurgle!”
“Chuck!”
Dan Bao and Spicy showed the same expression on their faces.
They want to eat-
“We’ll start with…”
Qin Lang was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a ringing sound.
“Ding dong-”
It was a text message from Jiang Bai, who had just exchanged contact information at noon.
Jiang Bai: “Chef Qin, I’ve already uploaded today’s video! You can take a look if you’re interested-”
Following the text message was a link.
“The video is already uploaded?” Qin Lang was interested, clicked on the link, was redirected to Jiang Bai’s homepage on D Site, and began to watch her latest video.
No other reason, mainly to see if she had captured his good looks.
Hearing about the video, the two Food Spirits quickly thought of the girl they had encountered at noon, and they naturally gathered to the left and right of Qin Lang, watching along with him.
The beginning of the video showed carefully chosen angles of the scenery.
Willow River Park was already beautiful, and it looked even more stunning through Jiang Bai’s lens.
Clearly, her filming skills were not bad.
After the scenery, Jiang Bai came into the frame, briefly introduced the destination of the trip, and then the footage of her chance encounter with Qin Lang appeared.
Since it had just been released not long ago, there were only a few sporadic bullet comments on the video. But when Qin Lang’s face appeared in the video, the bullet comment area was immediately filled with envious comments.
Seeing one of the comments saying “I’m going to walk in Willow River Park every day,” Qin Lang pinched his chin.
It seems that they will have to change places for their next picnic.
The video ended soon. Qin Lang watched with great interest. Even after the segment where he made a brief appearance ended and Jiang Bai began evaluating the food, he still watched intently.
Jiang Bai’s evaluation was not professional, but her choice of words was meticulous, making it easy for the viewers to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the food. This alone was enough to attract people.
After watching Jiang Bai’s video, Qin Lang casually hit the follow button, opened the next video, and planned to cook after watching it.
However, he forgot that sometimes the next video could turn into countless others.
Outdoor area, Game Area, Song and Dance area, Beauty area…
Videos from different sections were presented in front of Qin Lang, a new user on D site.
However, these sections, which were heavily trafficked in his previous life, couldn’t compare to the Food Zone in terms of attention here.
One after another, fascinating videos gradually made him forget about the time.
“Chack!”
“Gurgle-”
It was not until the two Food Spirits nudged him that Qin Lang realized he had unknowingly watched for an hour.
“Hiss!” he quickly put down his phone.
D Site is addictive!
“Come on, let’s make Crab Roe Fried Rice!”
Qin Lang scooped out a few Hairy Crabs, re-tied them, placed them on slices of ginger, and put them into the steaming basket.
“Spicy, will you speed things up a bit?”
“Chack!”
I’m on it!
Spicy flew to the front of the steaming basket. An invisible force enveloped the steaming basket, making the Hairy Crabs inside turn red at an accelerated speed.
Meanwhile, Qin Lang was not idle. He began to rinse the rice and prepare it to be cooked.
At the same time he started the Rice Cooker having washed the rice, the crabs, which normally would have needed to be steamed for about fifteen minutes, were already done due to Spicy’s Cooking Acceleration.
With Spicy, he didn’t have to worry about cooking taking too long.
He took the crabs out of the steaming basket. Qin Lang cut the string from one of them and handed it to Dan Bao next to him, “Come on, let’s dismantle the crab together!”
By the time Dan Bao learned how to dismantle a crab with Thought Waves, that would be one less trouble for him.
“Gurgle!”
Easy peasy!
With full confidence, Dan Bao used its psychic power to levitate the perfectly steamed crab, then proceeded to follow Qin Lang’s movements in dismantling the crab step by step.
However, after removing the crab cap, the control became somewhat difficult.
Dan Bao’s thought waves can manipulate objects, but the manipulation is like using a pair of tongs to clamp onto an object.
To be more precise, like using fingers to manipulate objects, it would require a higher level of control of thought waves.
Having awakened its psychic power not long ago, Dan Bao didn’t achieve that level.
But it was too embarrassed to speak up.
As the great helper in cooking for the Spirit Chef, how could it fall short!
Therefore, with a burst of determination, Dan Bao began to delicately try.
It imitated Qin Lang in cutting off the crab legs and then used thinner parts to prod out the meat in the crab leg.
Just like learning to thread a needle for the first time, it missed a few times before it finally succeeded.
After the crab leg meat was carefully pushed out, Dan Bao’s tense expression was slightly eased.
It began to follow Qin Lang’s next move, extracting the crab meat from the honeycomb-like body of the crab.
This process required even more precision, and many times, Dan Bao nearly smashed the crab shell due to excessive force. It was a stumbling road.
By the time it had finally managed to clean a hairy crab, Qin Lang had already completed the separation of all the remaining crabs.
How slow…
Dan Bao’s head drooped in disappointment, feeling that it hadn’t been very helpful.
“You’re doing great already.”
Qin Lang rubbed Dan Bao’s big ears, his face bearing an encouraging smile.
He had noticed the difficulty Dan Bao faced in handling the crabs and realized that thought waves weren’t as flexible as he’d imagined.
However, he kept silent because he saw how hard Dan Bao was trying.
This was certainly a way to train Dan Bao in a way.
“Next time there’s a similar situation, I’ll need your help again!” Qin Lang said earnestly.
Dan Bao lifted its head, rubbing against Qin Lang’s hand, and quickly perked up from the encouragement given by the Spirit Chef.
Next time when it’s dismantling a crab, it would definitely be faster!
It should at least catch up to half of Qin Lang’s speed!
“Crack!”
I want to help too!
Spicy eagerly proposed itself.
Seeing Dan Bao dismantle the crab made it also eager to give it a try.
“Don’t worry, you’ll have your chance to help in a while.” Qin Lang placed the separated crab meat, crab roe, and crab paste aside. After cleaning the crab shell, he started the next step.
Crab roe fried rice is essentially stir-fried crab powder mixed with rice.
So the main point is to stir-fry the crab powder.
But to make a fine plate of crab powder, a lot of attention to detail is required.
Heat up the wok, add oil, scallion, ginger, and crab shells, slowly simmering it for an hour on low heat.
“Hang in there, Spicy.”
After stir-frying for a moment, Qin Lang closed the pot lid. Searching for a suitable spot for meditation nearby, he began to restore the spiritual power in his star veins.
Simply accelerating this process required draining the Tianxuan star vein twice.
Luckily, since the opening of the second star vein, the speed of restoring spiritual power through meditation had increased.
A moment later, Qin Lang lifted the lid of the pot.
The crab shell inside didn’t seem to change much, but the vegetable oil added earlier turned bright and golden, with a vivid color and a rich crab flavor.
Filter out the crab shells, scallion, and ginger, and the crab oil is ready.
Pushing away the two little ones who kept sniffing around, Qin Lang gave a smile.
“Don’t rush, it’s still a long way to go.”
