After tasting the three dishes prepared by the stall owner, Qin Lang sincerely offered his suggestions and thoughts, receiving gratitude in return.
So as not to disrupt the dining experience of the subsequent food guests, he did not linger.
Although there were a few stalls he had not managed to taste from, Qin Lang was already full.
So, it’ll have to wait for next time.
He took a leisurely stroll by the lakeside. It was not until the sun had completely set and the world was shrouded in twilight that Qin Lang returned towards the hotel under the guidance of the streetlights.
“Once we get back to the hotel, shall we start preparing for the Food Fight in two days?” Looking at the contented expressions on the faces of the two little ones after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Lang chuckled.
As for the dishes for the day-after’s Food Fight, he had an idea.
“Gurgle?”
Is it a new dish?
Dan Bao’s eyes sparkled. He was the first to ask.
“Hmm, indeed it is a new dish.” Qin Lang gave a mysterious smile, “I believe Spicy will like this dish a lot.”
“Cha-ka?”
Will I like it?
Spicy, who was sitting at one side, immediately perked up. He moved closer to Qin Lang and rubbed against his cheek, urging him to reveal the dish with a gentle prompt.
“Cha-ba-ka!”
Tell me quickly!
“This dish is called Beijing Fried Pork Fillet.” Qin Lang did not keep them in suspense for too long. He gave the answer under Spicy’s urging, “The main ingredient is pork, which is why I said you will definitely like it.”
“Gurgle?”
Are there eggs?
Dan Bao at the side asked with a hopeful tone.
“We will make use of egg white, but not much.” Qin Lang outstretched his hand and patted Dan Bao, “But tomorrow, I can make several dishes that involve chicken eggs.”
Dan Bao’s spirits instantly lifted.
Hmm, that’s balanced now.
Looking at the two little ones full of anticipation, Qin Lang smiled quietly.
His choice of Beijing Fried Pork Fillet had no particular reason or inspiration behind it. He just suddenly thought of it, and this dish happened to meet the requirements for a livestock theme.
Regarding the Food Fight that he was about to have with Shen Qian, Qin Lang always held a relaxed and communicative attitude.
After all, the upcoming Leaping Fish Banquet was his main focus.
Walking and chatting gaily with the two little ones, Qin Lang soon arrived at the hotel’s lobby.
To his surprise, a familiar figure came into sight.
Qin Lang rubbed his eyes. After confirming that he was not mistaken, his face showed a surprised look.
“Zhou Tianhao, brother?!”
“Eh?” Zhou Tianhao, who was processing his check-in at the front desk, turned around when he heard the sound. He quickly recognized Qin Lang, the young man he had met briefly during his travels, “Qin Lang? You are here too!”
“Yes.” Qin Lang quickly approached, “Brother Zhou, if I remember correctly, the last time we parted, you were heading to Xieyu City weren’t you?”
“My trip to Xieyu City just ended. I just arrived in Yue Hu City.” Zhou Tianhao sighed with a hint of relief, “I’m glad I booked the hotel a few days in advance. I didn’t expect it to be fully booked.”
“I almost had to sleep in the streets!”
Hearing Zhou Tianhao’s words, Qin Lang couldn’t help but laugh, “Brother Zhou, how was your trip to Xieyu City?”
“Speaking of which.” Zhou Tianhao’s face broke into a grin as he pulled out a silver-white badge from his pocket, “Ta-da~”
“Is this… the Second-Level Food Recommender Badge from Xieyu City?” Qin Lang took a glance at the badge in Zhou Tianhao’s hand and a surprised look appeared on his face, “Brother Zhou, aren’t you on the training path?”
“The two paths do not conflict. Didn’t you also participate in the Youth Training Competition?” Zhou Tianhao smiled gently.
“During my battle against the Star Hunter, I realized my shortcomings in the Food Spirits Taste Value, so I will be working harder on this aspect moving forward.”
“I see.” Qin Lang nodded understandingly.
The Food Spirits Taste Value being a crucial aspect of a Food Spirit’s strength, naturally cannot be overlooked.
Since Brother Zhou is now venturing onto the culinary path and has come here at this time…
A thought sparked in Qin Lang’s mind, “Brother Zhou, have you come to participate in the Leaping Fish Banquet?”
” I knew your presence here would definitely be related to the Leaping Fish Banquet.” Zhou Tianhao laughed, confirming his purpose, “When I was in Xieyu City, conversing with other Spirit Chefs, I heard about the Leaping Fish Banquet.”
“Such a culinary exchange extravaganza may well help improve my cooking skills. Obviously, it’s an opportunity I can’t miss.”
“However,” Zhou Tianhao scratched his head, “The rules for the Leaping Fish Banquet seem to be announced the day after tomorrow, so I’m a bit torn as to whether or not to participate.”
“I know about that.” Qin Lang responded without hesitation.
When Mr. Shen He left, he did not request secrecy, and from his previous encounter with the stall owner, it seems quite a few people already knew the rules of this installment of the Leaping Fish Banquet.
“Hello sir, your room is now available. Here is your room keycard.” The hotel front desk lady handed over the room card with a smile.
“Thankyou.” Zhou Tianhao accepted the card and slipped it into his pocket, looking expectantly at Qin Lang, “Shall we go to the side bar and chat while we sit?”
“Although I can’t offer you alcohol due to your age, I can treat you to a glass of juice.”
“Let me treat Brother Zhou instead. The knowledge about Spirit Battle that Brother Zhou shared with me the last time we met was very helpful.” Qin Lang smiled.
“No no no, it’s on me!” Zhou Tianhao waved his hand in a generous manner, appearing like someone with loads of money to spare.
So Qin Lang didn’t insist further.
The two of them didn’t return to their rooms. Instead, they sat in the small bar beside the hotel lobby, discussing the Leaping Fish Banquet.
“So the rules of this Leaping Fish Banquet are like this.” After listening to Qin Lang, Zhou Tianhao showed an enlightened look, “It’s unfortunate that I am already twenty-six, right beyond the age limit for the youth group.”
“So, Brother Zhou, are you going to participate in the all-age group exchange?” Qin Lang asked subconsciously.
“No no no.” Zhou Tianhao shook his head without hesitation, “The competition in the all-age group is inevitably fiercer than in the youth group. There’s no hope of winning the top prize.”
With his current strength, he barely managed to clinch the city-level cooking championship, and his culinary skills are probably in the mid-bottom rank in the all-age group.
Isn’t that just asking for humiliation?
“So Brother Zhou, you are not participating in this culinary exchange?” Qin Lang said with a bit of regret.
“No, I’ll still participate, but not in this way.” Zhou Tianhao gave a mysterious smile, “You only noticed that Spirit Chefs can set up stalls at the Leaping Fish Banquet, but forgot that food guests are also part of the Leaping Fish Banquet.” Qin Lang suddenly realized.
“Brother Zhou, are you planning to attend the Leaping Fish Banquet as a food guest?”
“Correct.” Zhou Tianhao nodded slightly, “Even if I can’t win, setting up a stall and cooking would consume a lot of energy. Instead of that, I might as well spend the three days tasting the culinary skills of other Spirit Chefs.”
“That’s a good idea.” Qin Lang agreed.
However, he still chose to set up a stall.
Opportunities to clash face-to-face with other Spirit Chefs were not many.
