“Safe journey, Brother Zhou.”
As Zhou Tianhao left, Qin Lang put down his waving hand.
He didn’t tell him that they share the same destination, Lanqiu City.
After all, Zhou Tianhao was leaving tonight, so he couldn’t tag along in such a rush.
By the time he reaches Lanqiu City, Zhou Tianhao might not be around anymore.
“Next, Li Hong and I are going back to Tianhua State.” Zhou Qing strolled towards Qin Lang and began to speak slowly.
He recognized Zhou Tianhao, but they were not close, so he didn’t join the conversation between Qin Lang and Zhou Tianhao.
“Mr. Zhou Qing, Mr. Li Hong.” Qin Lang looked at them both, his face somewhat reluctant. “Are you leaving already?”
“We have already booked tickets for tomorrow morning. We are taking the train back,” Li Hong smirked, “We have been away in Mingjing Province for a long time. We both have other matters to attend to and can’t delay any longer.” “Qin Lang, are you sure you will not be joining us on the journey back?”
“Of course, he’s sure!” Shen Qian answered before him, with hands behind her back and a smile on her face, “We are going to Crown Ling City together!”
She couldn’t pass up this chance for culinary practice!
“Qianqian, stop messing around.” Shen He, who had come to pick up his granddaughter, shook his head and pulled Shen Qian away. “Don’t let Qianqian affect you. Make a decision that suits you.”
“Alright, I’ve decided to stay in Mingjing Province.” Seeing Shen Qian’s pitiful expression, Qin Lang forced a smile, “This place, abundant of marine life, deserves more exploration. Plus, I promised Uncle Luo Hui to capture the most beautiful seascapes for him.”
“Yay!” Shen Qian cheered loudly.
Her training partner is not going anywhere!
Shen He, standing next to her, didn’t say anything but had a more relaxed expression.
Although he did say that Qin Lang should make his own decision, from his perspective, he would naturally hope that Qin Lang could stay in Mingjing Province for some time.
Having a talented Spirit Chef of the same age around would certainly provide motivation and drive for Shen Qian, and the two of them can look out for each other during their travels.
“Alright, I won’t try to convince you further. You’re not new to travelling,” Zhou Qing nodded slightly. “Just be careful, and don’t forget about the Tianhua State Cooking Competition in four months.”
“Rest assured, I will definitely return before the start of the Tianhua State Cooking Competition.” Qin Lang nodded, “I still lack one badge for the Second- Level Food Recommender, so I need to take some time to get it!”
“I don’t think one Second-Level badge would be a problem for you.” Zhou Qing shook his head.
On this matter, he had total confidence.
“You won the youth group contest today and tomorrow you two are leaving Mingjing Province,” said Shen He with a smile. “I have prepared a feast for tonight. Let’s enjoy it together! Consider it a practice and celebration!” Although it was quite late into the night, Shen He’s invitation was accepted by all. The party of five soon left the pier and headed towards Shen He’s home.
Late at night, back at the hotel, Qin Lang sat at his desk with the orange-brown leather-bound notebook in front of him.
“Gulu~”
I want to see too!
Dan Bao was flying unsteadily in the air before slowly landing on the desk.
Having just enjoyed a feast, it seemed to have become slightly heavier, causing its yolk-like little face to hang low for a moment upon landing, yet bouncing back up after a few tries before finally stabilizing.
“Click!”
I want to see too!
Seeing Dan Bao by the notebook, Spicy couldn’t fall behind, and flashily positioned herself on the other side of the book. The glowing bubble slowly hovered above her, changing color from green to red intermittently, reflecting her perturbed emotions.
She had been through the toil of three days and finally obtained the glory of victory.
Thinking about how the notebook could improve her skills as a Spirit Chef and help her make even more delicious food, anticipation filled Spicy’s face.
“Can you two even read it?” Qin Lang chuckled and then turned his attention back to the notebook. He carefully opened it to the first page.
His eyes were greeted with a row of neat handwriting.
“I hope you find what you’re looking for. – Ye Cangqing”
The black handwriting left faint impressions on the paper. It was obviously written by hand.
Looking at it, Qin Lang felt as though he could hear Ye Cangqing’s encouraging words again.
This was his first encounter with a Third-Level Food Recommender. Her approachability had left a deep impression on him.
Well then, time to see if there’s anything useful for me in this notebook.
Qin Lang’s expression became serious as he gently turned to the second page.
From the second page onwards, the notebook was filled with lines and lines of records.
They appeared somewhat fragmented and, judging by the occasionally marked dates, there was a considerable time span between some entries.
The notebook contained not only various combinations of seasonings and ingredients, tastes and dishes tried and tested by Ye Cangqing herself, but also introductions to ingredients and notes on delicious food from various places.
It was clear that Ye Cangqing had travelled extensively.
She had visited most of the states in the Samiya Region and left detailed introductions to the local customs, allowing Qin Lang to get a comprehensive understanding of the region.
Ye Cangqing had even briefly visited the Sokol Region, which is across the sea from the Samiya Region, and left some brief notes about it.
Although this was still a distant prospect for Qin Lang, it was interesting to learn about nonetheless.
By the time Qin Lang flipped to the last page of the notebook, it was late into the night.
Despite wanting to look through the notebook again thoroughly, he gave up the idea when he noticed the two little ones who had fallen asleep at some point.
The value of this notebook exceeded his expectations and needed to be explored slowly, so there was no need to rush.
After carefully putting away the notebook, Qin Lang quietly picked up the two little creatures and carefully put them on the bed. After a quick wash, he also climbed into bed.
“Click!”
With a soft sound, the room plunged into darkness, with only the moonlight streaming through the gap in the curtains.
Despite having gone to bed late, Qin Lang woke up early the next day.
It was because Zhou Qing and Li Hong were leaving Yue Hu City.
“Even though you are young, you should still pay attention to getting enough rest.” Seeing the slight dark circles under Qin Lang’s eyes, Zhou Qing standing next to the entrance of the station with a luggage briefcase, laughed.
“Last night, I was in the room engrossed in reading Ms. Ye Cangqing’s notebook.” Qin Lang scratched his head awkwardly. “It’s not usually like this.”
“I can understand.” Li Hong, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. “Upon receiving such a reward, it’s only natural to want to finish reading it at the earliest.”
“The next time we meet might be at the Tianhua State Provincial-level Cooking Competition.” Zhou Qing patted Qin Lang’s shoulder, “Keep it up!”
The announcement for checking the tickets resounded inside the station. He waved at Qin Lang and Shen He who had come to see them off, and then proceeded towards the checkpoint with Li Hong.
Watching their retreating figures, Qin Lang nodded firmly.
“You can count on it.”
