Gourmet Style Beast Taming-Chapter 268 - : The Bet
Chapter 268: The Bet
Translator: 549690339
Seeing Jiang Qianyi board the platform, Cheng Yuansen felt a stirring in his heart and calmly spoke.
” Jiangjiang, how about we make a bet?”
“What?” Jiang Qianyi turned her head to look at Cheng Yuansen.
“Let’s see whose article has the most popularity today.” Cheng Yuansen’s voice was tinged with mirth, “The loser treats the winner to dinner.”
“Sounds good, saves me dinner money.” Jiang Qianyi slightly nodded, indicating her consent to this small bet, then merged into the crowd, quickly disappearing from view.
Is she that confident?
Cheng Yuansen was taken aback and then focused his attention in another direction on the deck.
Next, he was going to meet Qiu Longfei.
As one of the first food guests to board, Jiang Qianyi didn’t need to wait long before seeing Qin Lang, the familiar figure busying himself at the stall.
“Hello, Boss Qin!” Jiang Qianyi greeted him with a smile, “I heard there are some changes to the Crabmeat Fried Rice today?”
“Yes.” Qin Lang nodded, “Yesterday some guests thought the original version was more delicious, so today I prepared both versions and guests can choose for themselves.”
“Then I’ll have two servings of Crabmeat Fried Rice, one of each kind.” Jiang Qianyi didn’t hesitate and then attentively surveyed the situation at the stall.
Adding a flavor seems simple, but Jiang Qianyi, who was somewhat familiar with Qin Lang’s preparation process, knew it was not that easy.
Seeing the additional stove at the stall, she put on a “just as I thought” expression.
In an already demanding situation, he increased his workload for the feedback
of a few guests…
Boss Qin really is a conscientious Spirit Chef!
Jiang Qianyi made a mental note of this, deciding to mention it in the upcoming article she was writing.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Qianyi spotted something new on the countertop.
It was a transparent glass bottle filled with a brown liquid.
There was also a wooden sign next to it.
“Crab vinegar, to be used with the Crabmeat Fried Rice, self-service.”
Jiang Qianyi’s eyes narrowed instantly.
Self-service?
This approach is not uncommon in street food stalls.
Given the variety of customer preferences, allowing guests to decide the amount of certain seasonings is quite convenient for the stall owner.
However, such practices were rare at the Leaping Fish Banquet.
And for a good reason.
To a Spirit Chef, the seasoning process is a crucial aspect of cooking.
Under no circumstances could they leave this step to the guests.
If the guests added too much or too little seasoning, resulting in a decrease in the dish’s deliciousness, who would be responsible for that?
Therefore, Qin Lang’s decision was daring in the context of the Leaping Fish
Banquet.
Jiang Qianyi had already thought of mentioning this point in her article as it was bound to stir up quite a discussion.
However, she also had a concern.
If other Spirit Chefs did not do this, it implied giving the guests a hand was not
a good idea.
Qin Lang taking such a bold adjustment was indeed bold, but would it actually yield good results?
“Gurgle-”
“Your two servings of Crabmeat Fried Rice, please enjoy.” Qin Lang acted as ? Dan Bao’s translator, “The one in the red bowl is the modified spicy version.’ “Okay,” Jiang Qianyi snapped back to attention, taking the two servings of Crabmeat Fried Rice, which didn’t look very different on the surface, from Dan
Bao.
Inhaling the strong savory scent, a satisfied expression crossed her face.
This is the scent!
During the third round last night, Jiang Qianyi missed out, not being able to taste the spicy Crabmeat Fried Rice.
“Today she finally got her wish.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Qianyi was the first to scoop up a spoonful of the original Crab Roe Fried Rice and put it in her mouth.
The familiar scrumptious flavor exploded between her lips and teeth, causing her eyes to narrow in satisfaction and a low hum to escape from her lips.
Having such delicious Crab Roe Fried Rice when hungry brought her immense satisfaction.
After having a taste, Jiang Qianyi turned her attention to the Spicy Crabmeat
Fried Rice.
Once the taste in her mouth had faded a bit, she tried the improved version for comparison.
Although there had been many discussions about the two versions online, trying the improved version was still a shock to Jiang Qianyi.
She couldn’t handle spice very well, but the spiciness in the improved Crab Roe Fried Rice wasn’t exaggerated, making it very friendly for her.
More importantly, the spiciness awakened her taste buds, making the fresh flavor of the crab even clearer. It was as if this kick of spice had elevated the Crab Roe Fried Rice to a whole new level.
This was truly unforgettable.
After comparing the original and improved versions, ideas for her article began to form in Jiang Qianyi’s mind.
Just this alone was enough for her to write 500 words!
However, there was still one important thing she hadn’t tried yet.
That was the all-new seasoning called Crab Vinegar.
Should she help herself…
Jiang Qianyi picked up the vinegar bottle and carefully poured a few drops on the remaining Crab Roe Fried Rice.
The scent of the refreshing sourness wrapped in the rich aroma of the Crab Roe Fried Rice gave Jiang Qianyi a slight bounce in her spirits.
There was something unusual about this Crab Vinegar…
As she pondered, she had already scooped up the remaining Crab Roe Fried Rice in the small bowl and put it in her mouth.
Just like before, she first tried the original version.
The moment it entered her mouth, Jiang Qianyi squinted her eyes.
This taste…
The original Crab Roe Fried Rice with Crab Vinegar had a sense of lightness to its rich flavor.
It was as if the originally heavy earth had adorned a deep blue sky, the layers became clearer, and the taste of the Crab Roe Fried Rice became more abundant.
Jiang Qianyi had thought that Crab Roe Fried Rice was already amazing, but she didn’t expect it to have so many variations.
Without any hesitation, she put the Spicy Crabmeat Fried Rice with Crab Vinegar in her mouth.
The very next moment, a look of pleasure appeared on Jiang Qianyi’s face, and her body trembled slightly.
The taste of Crab Vinegar and spiciness wasn’t a simple sum of one plus one equals two, it was a case of one plus one equals more than two.
The refreshing sourness, the rich freshness, and the clear spiciness all intertwined, giving Jiang Qianyi the illusion of catching fat Hairy Crabs by Jumping Fish Lake.
This…
Jiang Qianyi took a deep breath, calming her fluctuating emotions.
After savoring the two types of Crab Roe Fried Rice, she had not forgotten her original purpose.
“Boss Qin, can I take a few minutes of your time for a quick interview?” Qin Lang glanced at the queue that was not too long at the moment, lightly patted the heads of the two little ones, “You two keep going.” Then, he took off his apron and stood in front of Jiang Qianyi, “Sure.” Qin Lang had already recognized the person in front of him, who happened to be Jiangjiang, the writer who had written an article about him.
Spending a few minutes to cooperate with an interview was no big deal.
“Alright, my first question is…”
Jiang Qianyi quickly asked the questions she had prepared in advance.
Half an hour later, an article titled “Beneath the Four Types of Crab Roe Rice Lies a Strive for Culinary Perfection!” was born.
