“The next stage is the interaction phase between the Spirit Chefs.”
After Qin Lang and Shen Qian exchanged their thoughts on setting up stalls, Zhou Qing laughed and looked at the other three, “Are you planning to be food guests, or stall owners?”
“I’ll be a food guest first.” Li Hong shrugged, “I haven’t even made it into the top ten in the All-age Group rankings, it’s clear that there are always those better than you.”
“I want to taste the cooking skills of other Spirit Chefs, so I won’t embarrass myself for now.”
“I also plan to be a food guest, but my reasons are different from yours.” Zhou Qing smiled slightly, “Before the second round begins in the afternoon, I have a lot of preparation work to do. If I were to be a stall owner during the exchange, I probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
“I’ll be the stall owner.” Shen Qian put down her empty bowl and rubbed her stomach contentedly, “Although I really want to taste Qin Lang’s crab powder fried rice, I’m already full.”
“I was a bit flustered this morning, but the delicious food did get a lot of good reviews from the food guests.” A confident smile appeared on her face, “I want other Spirit Chefs to taste my cooking skills too!”
“I don’t need to choose anymore.” Qin Lang helplessly shrugged, “When I was adjusting the position of the stall car just now, I had already noticed the way other Spirit Chefs were looking at me.”
“Ha ha.” Shen Qian laughed, “Who would have thought that you were first in the Youth Group, and that you would have a lead of over two hundred votes over second place.”
“Everyone naturally wants to try the food you prepare.”
“You should just honestly set up your stall and wait for other Spirit Chefs to come!”
Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders, not refuting.
No matter which way he chooses to interact, he won’t be at a disadvantage.
Setting up a stall to host other Spirit Chefs is a bit more strenuous than visiting stalls to taste delicious foods, but there is a difference between Spirit Chefs and ordinary food guests.
They don’t just eat and leave, but engage in culinary exchanges with the stall owner during the tasting process, which is helpful and promotive for both parties.
Moreover, Madame Ye Cangqing, the three-star Food Recommender of Mingjing Province and the organizer of the Leaping Fish Banquet, will also participate with other important figures from the banquet. After tasting the food he prepared, they can provide more referential and instructive opinions.
Soon, an electric bell sound echoed in the air above the deck.
This signifies the start of the interaction phase between the Spirit Chefs.
Looking around the whole scene, it can be seen that about eighty percent of the Spirit Chefs left their stalls, choosing to taste the food of other Spirit Chefs as food guests.
The remaining twenty percent stayed at their stalls, choosing to provide food as stall owners for interaction.
Qin Lang had already prepared a large pot of crab powder in advance. The gravy seafood for the afternoon needs to be fully flavored, so it’s best to wait a bit longer, but the remaining one hundred or so pounds from the morning sale is more than enough for interaction.
As the first in the Youth Group, he had long been noticed by many people. Not long after the electric bell rang, there were already more than a dozen people gathered in front of his stall.
At the front, there was a teenager who appeared to be around twenty years old.
He almost rushed to Qin Lang’s stall the moment the electric bell rang, looking at Qin Lang with a defiant look.
When he noticed Qin Lang’s somewhat immature appearance, his eyes showed surprise and a stronger sense of defiance.
Younger than himself?
“Hello, my name is Bai Hongrui.” Although the young man refused to admit defeat, he still showed the necessary politeness, “I want to taste the food you have prepared.”
“Sure, which one would you like to try?” Qin Lang had a surprised expression on his face.
He remembered this name.
Currently, the youth group’s ranking, the other party was in second place.
He was over two hundred votes lower than himself, and a few dozen votes higher than Shen Qian.
He had thought that with the other party’s strength, they would also choose to be a stall owner, but they had chosen to be a food guest.
Bai Hongrui didn’t speak immediately.
He was observing.
According to his original plan, in the first phase of the exchange activity, he should indeed choose the role of stall owner for the exchange.
However, having seen the number of votes for Qin Lang, he changed his mind at the last minute.
Bai Hongrui himself is a Spirit Chef famous in Mingjing Province, and has participated in provincial level cooking competitions. Although he has not achieved particularly good rankings, his ability to obtain five second-level Food Recommender Badges shows his strength.
Moreover, he had done a lot of preparation for the Leaping Fish Banquet.
Under such circumstances, he believed that in the Youth Group aimed at Spirit Chefs under 25 years old, no one would be stronger than him.
He didn’t expect to be slapped in the face as soon as he arrived.
Therefore, he was eager to taste what kind of food this Spirit Chef called Qin Lang had prepared.
In the previous rankings, only the total number of votes could be seen, not the type of food.
Strictly speaking, this was Bai Hongrui’s first time seeing the food prepared by Qin Lang.
Those pots upon pots of seafood soaking in the sauce, the diverse gravy seafood, attracted his attention first.
Is this dish called gravy seafood?
Seeing the two different price tags on Qin Lang’s stall, Bai Hongrui immediately realized that this dish must be the more expensive one.
Most Spirit Chefs, including Qin Lang, had thought of key points and hence differentiated the different target audiences during the stall setup.
Bai Hongrui was no exception.
Generally, the higher-priced dish requires more technical skills.
And that was exactly what Bai Hongrui wanted to know.
“Give me a pound of gravy seafood!” Bai Hongrui made his decision.
“I’ll have a pound too.”
“And me!”
The other Spirit Chefs who came around almost spoke up at the same time.
Clearly, their thoughts were similar to Bai Hongrui’s.
This is the difference between Spirit Chefs and ordinary food guests.
Ordinary food guests, seeing the price of gravy seafood, would instinctively choose the cheaper crab powder fried rice.
But Spirit Chefs would think that since the gravy seafood is so expensive, it must be able to better showcase the level of the Spirit Chef.
“Alright.” Qin Lang gave Dan Bao a look.
Dan Bao understood. Pure white energy emanated from it, spreading outwards. The lid of the glass tank opened automatically, the ladle hung in the air, picked up the seafood inside, shook it, packed it in the takeaway box, and weighed it.
Dan Bao had seen Qin Lang do this series of steps countless times and had learned it a long time ago. Now it works smoothly and efficiently, even outperforming Qin Lang himself by a few points due to its ability to multitask.
Once a portion got off the electronic scale, the next one was already on it.
Seeing this scene, the Spirit Chefs who came around showed envious expressions.
Thought Waves, huh!
It is universally acknowledged that, not to mention the enhancement of ability after a Food Spirit has this combat skill, the help it can provide in life and cooking is significant.
Their own Food Spirits naturally also help during the stall setup, but in terms of efficiency, they are indeed less than Dan Bao, who has Thought Waves.
After a morning of setting up stalls, everyone had already realized that deliciousness is only a part of the criteria for obtaining votes. It is equally important to let more food guests taste their own food.
Just on this point, Qin Lang has already taken the upper hand!
