Chapter 48 The inspiration of the food bucket
Calculating carefully, a week has passed since Dan Bao was born.
But this was the first time Qin Lang heard Dan Bao's miserable cry.
So much so that he was so worried that he didn't care about picking oranges and immediately got up and ran towards the river.
However, the next moment, after seeing clearly Dan Bao's condition, Qin Lang's face froze with concern.
Looking at Dan Bao who was spitting fire in the direction of his tail, a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
"…Dan Bao?"
"Gudu..."
It hurts...
Dan Bao stopped his movements pitifully and looked at Qin Lang helplessly, his little face full of grievances.
As the flames dissipated, Qin Lang saw a crab hanging from Dan Bao's tail that had been cooked by the flames and turned red.
Even though it was roasted, the crab's claws still clamped tightly on Dan Bao's big tail.
Danbao's already big tail has become visibly swollen.
He quickly stepped forward and carefully opened the crab's claws and threw them aside. Qin Lang hugged Dan Bao angrily and funnyly and rubbed its tail, "How did you get caught by a crab?"
"Grrrrrrrrrr..."
Dan Bao looked at his obviously swollen tail and recounted everything that had just happened with tears in his eyes.
After listening, Qin Lang finally understood.
That's right, although Dan Bao is a food spirit, he was born not long ago and is more like a child mentally, so he will be curious about many things.
The crab was a creature it had never seen before. It didn't know how painful it was to be pinched by those pair of pliers, so it got very close, so it suffered a loss.
"If you see something you haven't seen before, don't get too close." Qin Lang comforted Dan Bao helplessly, then took out the healing ointment used by Shi Ling from the medical bag he carried with him, and squeezed out some evenly. Apply ground on Danbao's injured area.
Food spirits often have to fight, and injuries are inevitable.
Normally, the best way after the food spirit is injured is to put it into the star veins to recuperate.
But Qin Lang had already discovered that Dan Bao didn't seem to like entering the Star Vein, and preferred to stay by his side.
So, he prepared some healing cream.
This treatment ointment is a shiny transparent ointment with a slight light green tint. After it is applied to Danbao's injured tail, these bright spots will quickly integrate into the injured area, allowing it to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, Danbao's tail completely returned to its original shape.
He felt that the previous injury no longer hurt, but felt very comfortable due to the cooling effect of the therapeutic ointment. Danbao regained his strength again.
It once again approached the crab that had been roasted on the ground and glared at the crab fiercely.
This is the guy holding his own tail with pliers.
Seeing Dan Bao's angry look, Qin Lang smiled dumbly and said, "It's okay, we can cook some crabs to relieve our anger."
"Gudu?"
Dan Bao turned his head, with a look of surprise on his face.
Can this ugly guy be eaten?
"Of course, crabs are very delicious if handled properly." Qin Lang said, stopping Danbao from biting the cooked crab, "This one is not good, it has been scorched by your fire. "
"Young man, do you still want this orange?"
Perhaps Qin Lang had been away for a long time, so the old man couldn't help but call out loudly.
"Yes! Come right now!"
Qin Lang quickly responded and trotted towards the old man.
Halfway through the run, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Qin Lang's mind.
Crab…Orange…
He thought for a moment about the food fight he would have with Tang Xie tomorrow afternoon.
The theme of the hopper is exquisiteness.
A dish made with crabs and oranges can satisfy this need.
"Old man, please weigh the ones I just picked for me." Qin Lang suppressed the thoughts in his heart and spoke.
"I've already weighed it for you." The old man chuckled, "Just a fraction, fifty-two yuan."
"Give."
After Qin Lang paid, he took the heavy bag of oranges from the other party's hand.
Watching the old man carry the load and leave again, Qin Lang rubbed Danbao's head with a smile.
"Dan Bao, you have made a meritorious service."
"Gulu?"
Dan Bao tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
When did it achieve success?
"I thought about the dishes for tomorrow's meal." Qin Lang smiled mysteriously, then peeled off an orange, broke off a segment and handed it to Dan Bao, "Here, this is a reward for you."
"Ah~"
"Gulu!"
Dan Bao happily took the orange in Qin Lang's hand, flicked it and put it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.
The oranges grown by my uncle are indeed delicious.
…
After the picnic, Qin Lang and Dan Bao packed up the things they brought and went to Xinghui Restaurant during dinner hours to cook today's temporary dishes.
After returning home, Ren Yiling practiced the dishes prepared for tomorrow's food bowl several times, and then went to bed early.
Time passed, and the agreed time for the food hopper on the afternoon of the second day soon came.
After finishing the steamed seabass cooking during lunch hours, Qin Lang said goodbye to Uncle Luo Hui and took Danbao straight to the Yuling Chef Association.
Seeing Qin Lang, Tang Xie, who had arrived at the fighting venue in advance, stood up and walked quickly, with fighting intent burning in his eyes.
"I'm looking forward to the food fight with you."
In the previous test at the Zhenniu Hall, he lost to Qin Lang.
Even though it was a test for eater, the outcome is not that important, but a defeat is a defeat.
He is a very competitive person. Since he loses, he must win it back in an upright manner.
Although the subject matter requirements of this eating battle were a bit beyond his expectation, he had been practicing continuously in the past two days and was fully prepared for this eating fighting.
This time, he will definitely not lose!
"Me too." Qin Lang nodded seriously.
He and Dan Bao also didn't underestimate the enemy. They practiced the dish they were going to cook today three times last night!
Danbao on the side moved his head in agreement.
It had already tasted the delicacy prepared by Qin Lang yesterday.
It was delicious like it had never tasted before.
More importantly, it got its revenge by eating crab meat!
Looking at the judges who had entered the venue and were seated one by one, the two of them stopped talking and quickly walked to the competition-standard kitchen where their respective name tags were hung.
The two-person eating battle was also voted on by the five junior judges.
"I am Huang Shu, the chief judge of this eating competition." The leading female judge looked at the two of them. "The weights of the main judge and the deputy judges are the same. Only the hosting duties of the eating competition are added."
"This food bucket project has restricted food themes, and the theme requirement is 'exquisite'."
"Ask the two Yuling chefs to cook corresponding dishes based on their own understanding of the subject matter."
"The ingredients from both parties have been sent to their respective kitchens after being submitted and inspected. According to the regulations of the primary hopper, the total cooking time shall not exceed two hours." Huang Shu said calmly, "The timer begins."
The light screen in front of the judging panel began to count down.
Qin Lang and Tang Xie walked into their respective kitchens without hesitation.
Eater, start!
