Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 14 The Threshold of the Cooking Competition



After breakfast, one person and one spirit went out.

First, we walked around the food market, picked up some good oxtails, and then arrived at Xinghui Restaurant.

The lunch business hours had not yet come. Luo Hui noticed Qin Lang and hurriedly came to greet him, "Xiao Qin, you are here so early."

"I happened to go to the food market to buy groceries in the morning, so I came here early."

"That's right." Luo Hui nodded in agreement, "It's still in the morning to buy groceries. The earlier the food is, the fresher it will be."

"I've prepared your seabass for you." He pointed to the kitchen, then looked around and lowered his voice, "You have to go all out when cooking the steamed seabass for lunch today."

"Uncle Luo Hui, don't worry, I will go all out every time I cook." Qin Lang said seriously.

I, Qin Lang, am professional!

"One of the four diners who made reservations at noon today is quite special." Luo Hui explained, "That is a food recommender. I think this is a good opportunity for you."

Qin Lang was slightly startled.

This touches on his knowledge blind spot.

The original person has not yet become the Yuling Chef, and there are some things that cannot be understood by just reading books.

"Uncle Luo Hui, can you tell me in detail?"

"No problem, it's just a while before the business starts. Sit down!" Luo Hui pulled Qin Lang to sit down, and then looked at Qin Lang seriously, "Xiao Qin, I think you are very talented in cooking. Yu Ling Chef.”

“Being able to cook something like steamed sea bass is proof of that.”

"You have just become the Yuling Chef. As time goes by, you will definitely become even more outstanding."

"So, I guess you must be interested in participating in cooking competitions?"

"Cooking competition?" Qin Lang nodded, "I am indeed interested in this."

The so-called cooking competition is actually a food fight with other contestants to win honors.

The honorary title of Yuling Chef is obtained through competitions.

Yuling chefs with different titles have huge differences in treatment.

In addition, participating in cooking competitions can also obtain star power to help food spirits grow faster.

Qin Lang is interested in food fighting, so naturally he will not reject the cooking competition.

"With your current situation, you can only participate in municipal cooking competitions. As for higher-level competitions, you will naturally learn about them when you achieve a certain ranking in municipal competitions."

Luo Hui took a sip of water and continued to explain, "Dongxia City cooking competition is held every three months. The latest one is still a week away."

There is only one week left. Fortunately, Uncle Luo Hui told himself today.

Qin Lang had a little more expectation in his eyes.

"Can I sign up now?"

"No." Luo Hui shook his head, "There are certain thresholds for registering for municipal cooking competitions."

"This has something to do with the food recommender I just mentioned."

"There are three levels of food recommenders, from low to high, they are level one, level two and level three."

"Each food recommender has an exclusive food recommender badge. They will award the badge to the Yuling Chef they recognize. After receiving three local first-level food recommender badges, they can sign up to participate in municipal cooking competitions."

"There are a total of eleven first-level food recommenders in Dongxia City. Their tests are different. I believe that with your strength, you can be recognized by three of them."

Luo Hui said with some comfort, "It's just that one week is too hasty. You might want to consider the next event in three months."

"It's a bit far-fetched." He patted his head, "The food recommender coming today is quite famous in Dongxia City, because he is also a Yuling chef who is good at cooking."

"His name is Zhou Qing. He is good at cooking fish dishes, and he also likes to test Yu Ling Chef with fish dishes."

"So if your steamed seabass satisfies him, it will be easier to get his recommender badge in the future."

Qin Lang's heart warmed, and he realized Luo Hui's intention in reminding him.

"Thank you, Uncle Luo Hui."

"Business hours are coming soon, go get ready!" Luo Hui waved his hand.

"Yeah!" Qin Lang nodded and walked to the kitchen.

Can I participate in municipal cooking competitions only if I obtain three first-level food recommendation badges in a week?

"Dan Bao, do you want to participate in the cooking competition with me?"

"Gududu!"

Dan Bao's little yolk face was shaking up and down, and his eyes were shining.

After two days of cooperating with Qin Lang in cooking dishes, it has fully experienced the joy of cooking.

What's more, you can also gain star power by participating in cooking competitions.

"In that case, we have to work hard." Qin Lang hugged Dan Bao, with a bit more confidence on his face, "Three months is a bit long. If possible, I want to participate in the cooking competition in a week."

"So when the food fight ends tomorrow, let's take the time to visit the food recommenders in Dongxia City!"

"Gulu!"

Danbao nodded in agreement.

It also heard what Luo Hui said.

Dan Bao was the first to disagree when he said it was too hasty to obtain three badges in one week.

You know nothing about the strength of my Yuling Chef!

"You only need to cook four portions of steamed seabass for lunch, which is quite easy." Qin Lang took out the necessary ingredients and began to plan the afternoon's tasks, "We will be eating tomorrow. Let's go home and practice the dishes we prepare in the afternoon. ”

"Gudulu!"

Hearing this, Dan Bao's eyes lit up.

Yesterday's oxtail soup left a deep impression on him, and he didn't know what kind of food he would eat this afternoon.

Seeing Qin Lang putting onions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients on the table, Dan Bao knew it was his turn to contribute.

Ah hoo!

Full of freshness!

"Mr. Zhou Qing, please come inside."

"It doesn't have to be like this, I'm just an ordinary diner." Zhou Qing waved his hand and found an empty seat to sit down. "The steamed seabass I ordered yesterday, and a bowl of rice, that's all."

"Wait a moment." Luo Hui nodded slightly, then quickly walked into the kitchen.

"Mr. Zhou Qing is here, you can bring out the next steamed seabass." Luo Hui warned after entering the kitchen.

Understanding that Luo Hui was giving him a chance to show off his face in front of the recommenders, Qin Lang did not refuse, "I understand!"

If all preparations are made in advance, the waiting time for a steamed sea bass will not exceed ten minutes.

Soon, Qin Lang walked out of the kitchen with steaming steamed seabass.

"Mr. Zhou Qing, this little brother Qin Lang is the temporary chef of our restaurant, and he also cooks the steamed sea bass." Luo Hui introduced with a smile, and then winked at Qin Lang.

Qin Lang understood and placed the dinner plate in front of the old man in front of him. "Please use it with caution. If you have any comments, please put them forward."

This was the last dish ordered at noon. Putting down the plate, he stood aside and secretly observed the old man.

His hair is gray, his clothes are simple but there are no visible wrinkles, and there are not many smile lines.

Such elderly people tend to be strict.

I don’t know what kind of evaluation the old man in front of me would give to his dishes.

Although he was a first-class chef in his previous life, Qin Lang would not underestimate people in this world. If the other party could make pertinent suggestions, he would humbly accept them.
