Chapter 89 Creatures
Chapter 90 Creatures
"The meat needs to cook for half an hour."
Qin Lang kneaded the egg treasure and started to process other ingredients while the meat was cooking in the pot.
Crush the green garlic with the blade of a knife and cut it into sections with a diagonal knife. Cut the spicy millet into two halves and set aside.
After processing the ingredients, Qin Lang leaned against the table, holding his chin with one hand and quietly watching the steam that occasionally came out of the pot, smelling the slightest hint of meat that came out along with the steam.
"This scene is so familiar."
He suddenly smiled with emotion, as if he had gone back to a long, long time ago.
At that time, he held his chin in the same way, waiting for the meat in the pot to be cooked.
At this moment, Qin Lang suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to.
Fortunately, he has Danbao.
"Do you know why I chose twice-cooked pork for this subject?" Qin Lang said softly.
Dan Bao shook his head, with confusion and curiosity on his face.
It also wants to know what the relationship between this dish called twice-cooked pork and the abstract theme of "home" is.
“Because when I was a kid, this was my mom’s favorite dish to make for me.”
Qin Lang looked past the boiler, fixedly looking at the bottle of bean paste on the other side of the table, and then started talking.
“On the road to learning how to cook, I have consulted many seniors with superb cooking skills and high moral standards.”
"But this Doubanjiang is not what they taught me."
"This is the recipe my mother taught me. It tastes different from the bean paste made by other companies."
"My mother is not a chef, and her cooking skills are average."
"Only the twice-cooked pork, she makes it particularly delicious."
"As long as I did something worthy of praise when I was young, my mother's reward would be to make a big plate of twice-cooked pork." Qin Lang smiled, "With half a catty of meat, I can eat it all by myself with rice."
"As I grew up, I became a chef."
"In order to improve my cooking skills, I travel to various places to visit famous chefs and exchange cooking skills."
"I go home less often."
"Every time I go home, my mother will make me a big plate of twice-cooked pork, just like when I was a kid."
"I still remember…"
Qin Lang rambled on about bits and pieces in his memory, while Dan Bao obediently came closer and listened quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and half an hour passed quickly.
Qin Lang's words stopped abruptly as the kitchen alarm clock rang.
He quickly stepped forward and opened the lid of the pot. The rich aroma of meat hit his face, and he took out the large pieces of pork belly that had been thoroughly cooked and showed a gray-white color.
Once the meat has cooled, cut it into coin-thick slices.
Heat the oil in the pan, Qin Lang adds the sliced pork belly, stir-fries with a few peppercorns, and speaks a little abruptly.
"Dan Bao, do you know why twice-cooked pork is called twice-cooked pork?"
Dan Bao looked at the pork belly in the pot that gradually turned brown as it was stir-fried, bursting out with a rich meaty aroma, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
It thought for a moment, and soon its little eyes lit up.
"Gulu gulu lulu~"
Is it because after cooking in the pot, you remove the slices and then return them to the pot for stir-frying?
"Yes, that's it." Qin Lang nodded, added bean paste, ginger slices and tempeh to the pot after frying the fat from the pork belly, and spoke softly while continuing to stir-fry.
"Once, I didn't go home for more than two years and I kept wandering around."
"After I got home, my mother made me a plate of twice-cooked pork. She watched me eat it while scolding me. She said..."
At this point, Qin Lang paused.
"She said she knows how to cook meat again, why don't I know how to go home?"
His voice dropped.
"I found out later that she was seriously ill at that time."
"It's just that when I found out, it was already too late."
"Gulu..."
Dan Bao couldn't help but have a sad look on his little face.
It felt the depressed mood of its Yuling Chef at the moment, and could only nuzzle next to him to express its comfort.
Qin Lang used a free hand to rub Danbao, indicating that he was fine.
After pouring out the suppressed emotions in his heart, Qin Lang stopped talking and continued his cooking work in silence.
Stir-fry the pork belly until the flavor is thoroughly absorbed into the inside, add cooking wine and a spoonful of sugar and millet chili.
After frying until fragrant, add the chopped green garlic and stir-fry until raw. A little rice vinegar is added from the side of the pot.
These familiar steps gave him the illusion that he was not in the competitive standard kitchen of the Municipal Cooking Competition Ranking Competition in the Dongxia Arena in the Food Spirit World, but in the familiar kitchen at home on Earth.
Gradually, as the cooking came to an end, light slowly emerged from Qin Lang's body.
The light was soft and subtle, covering his whole body as if he were covered with a layer of light gauze, and the brightest point of the gauze was the Tianxuan star vein that had just opened up between Qin Lang's eyebrows.
Qin Lang was completely unaware of all this.
Dan Bao on the side looked at this scene with wide eyes.
Could it be that a food spirit is about to be born?
It wanted to remind Qin Lang, but it was afraid that if it guessed wrong, it would interfere with Qin Lang's cooking, or if it guessed correctly, it would affect the birth of a new companion, so it could only watch nervously.
Finally, Qin Lang put the twice-cooked pork, which had been stir-fried with rice vinegar until fragrant, onto the plate.
Twice-cooked pork, out of the pot!
As soon as he put down the spatula in his hand, the plated twice-cooked pork suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
this…
Qin Lang was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he felt the familiar feeling of power draining away, and his face changed slightly.
The birth of a food spirit?
at this time? !
Before he could regain his senses, the power that came from the twice-cooked pork suddenly accelerated.
After opening the second star vein, the Yuling Chef's physical quality has been fed back and nourished by the spiritual power. Normally, he will not fall into a coma like the first food spirit gathered together.
However, Qin Lang tried to concentrate on cooking many times last night, and because of the recent memories, his mood fluctuated quite a lot, and his mental state was not stable.
In the end, he only had time to see a ball of light rising from the twice-cooked pork and gradually gathering into a form. The next moment, his vision went dark and he fainted again.
"Gulu!"
Dan Bao exclaimed and quickly used the waves of thought to hold Qin Lang's fallen body and let him lie flat on the ground.
After confirming that his Yuling Chef was only out of strength due to the gathering of food spirits, Dan Bao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the existence that was gradually gathering in the air.
It was a brown, round food spirit with a meatball-like tail behind it.
On the top of its head are slender ears like red and green peppers, and a pair of big eyes that are also red and green.
There is a floating transparent bubble above the head of the food spirit. In the bubble, there is a group of light green light that converges into the shape of a small pepper.
The second food spirit sharpened its sharp little tiger teeth and immediately looked at the twice-cooked pork on the table.
That was its origin food. At this moment, when it was just born and felt unprecedentedly hungry, it had only one thought.
That’s a full meal!
"Chakaba!"
It cheered and jumped towards the twice-cooked pork, but hit an invisible wall.
"Boom~"
