The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 111 Fried Rice in a Big Pot

As Qin Lang and his two companions were talking, more than a dozen figures quickly approached them.

This is the owner of the Yu Ling Chu stall who is setting up a stall today.

"Mr. Qin, thank you so much."

The stall owner surnamed Liu, who sells mixed sesame cakes, stepped forward, grabbed Qin Lang's hand, and shook it vigorously, looking excited. "The customers who came today all said that our food is much more delicious than before."

"This is all thanks to your recipe."

"It's nothing, and we're doing a fair trade." Qin Lang smiled and shook his head. "Aren't you setting up a stall here too?"

“No, no, no, what are we compared to this recipe when we’ve been setting up our stall here for seven days?” Another stall owner shook his head abruptly. “This kind of transaction is definitely not fair.”

"We stall owners all owe you a huge favor!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will definitely invite all my relatives and friends to come to the amusement park."

"Yes, yes, that's a great idea!"

These stall owners already knew that Qin Lang was doing this to restore the "Happy Party" amusement park to its former prosperity, and they were naturally willing to help as much as they could.

"If possible, that would be best." Qin Lang smiled and didn't refuse. He glanced at the stove that had just been cleaned up. "Have you eaten? How about I make you some fried rice for a late-night snack?"

"That would be wonderful!" the stall owners exclaimed with delight.

They had already tasted Qin Lang's fried rice when they arrived in the morning, and the taste had completely won them over.

As expected of the Spirit Chef who can improve all their dishes, even the simplest ingredients can be made so delicious.

"Haha, it seems we've come at just the right time." An old man's laughter came from afar, and Ye Zhen led dozens of new and old staff members to Qin Lang's stall.

Unlike before, Ye Zhen now seemed much more spirited and youthful, as if he had become several years younger.

The veteran employees all wore smiles of emotion.

Today is the busiest day in recent times for "Happy Party" amusement park.

Although it is still far from its peak a few years ago, it has truly given these elderly people, who have come to regard the amusement park as their second home, an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

"Boss Qin, could you also give me and my employees a serving of fried rice?" Ye Zhen said with a smile as he paid. "Thank you so much for today."

Knowing that Qin Lang had gone to great lengths to recruit these spirit chef stall owners, even offering his cooking secrets as a price, Ye Zhen was naturally deeply moved.

The two were not related by blood, yet the other party did this to help him.

If he weren't so penniless after his desperate gamble, he would have done everything in his power to repay Qin Lang.

For now, we can only keep this friendship in our hearts for the time being.

"Then we want some too!"

Zhao Qian smiled and raised her hand, "Consider it a midnight snack!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but touch her stomach.

I feel like I've gained more and more weight around my stomach since I met Qin Lang.

"Alright, alright, everyone gets one." Qin Lang smiled. "Let's get started right away!"

As he spoke, Qin Lang directly pulled out all the remaining eggs and rice.

Previously, Qin Lang cooked each dish individually when selling to customers, but now that everyone is on the same side, he plans to cook a large pot of food.

Both large-pot cooking and small-scale cooking have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is more efficient, while the latter requires more precise control of the heat and tastes slightly better.

However, Qin Lang naturally had other ways to make up for the slight disadvantage of communal cooking in terms of taste. He blinked and a precious egg appeared in his hand.

It's unrealistic to cook fried rice for so many people entirely with premium eggs; he doesn't have that many in stock, and Egg Baby would definitely object.

However, mixing a premium egg with other regular eggs when making fried rice can also enhance the flavor of the fried rice to some extent.

Skillfully, they found two large bowls, separated the egg whites and yolks of the premium eggs and regular eggs together, and then stirred each one thoroughly.

Soon, the large-pot version of fried rice was tossed around in Qin Lang's wok. The rice, evenly coated with egg liquid, and the cloud-like, light egg white surface glistened with a slight sheen, seemingly glowing under the night lights.

The rich aroma of eggs filled the air, causing everyone around the stall to swallow hard and stare intently at the fried rice in the pan.

They didn't have to wait long. Qin Lang grabbed a handful of chopped scallions and sprinkled them into the fried rice. After a few quick stirs, the fried rice was ready.

Before Qin Lang could even divide the fried rice into different lunch boxes, one of the food stall owners snatched the lunch boxes from his hands.

"Boss Qin, you can take a break." He chuckled and handed out the lunchboxes to the others. "We'll pack the fried rice ourselves."

After saying that, he quickly picked up the spatula and filled a box with so much egg fried rice that it was almost overflowing.

"Old Zhou, you're quite shrewd!" Another stall owner exclaimed in surprise, grabbed a lunchbox, and rushed forward to get his own food.

The others could no longer contain themselves and swarmed forward.

"Don't rush, don't rush!" Qin Lang said, both amused and exasperated. "This is a midnight snack, everyone, don't eat too much, it's hard to digest at night."

"It's alright, it's alright, I have a good stomach." Old Zhou, who was the first to get his food, chuckled and scooped up a large spoonful with his spoon and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

"This tastes even better than what I had this morning!"

"Really? I knew it smelled better." Another stall owner murmured, then took a bite of the fried rice.

The next instant, he was stunned into place as if struck by lightning.

Although only one premium egg was used in so many servings of fried rice, its rich flavor, far exceeding that of a regular egg, remained remarkably distinct.

"Oh my god, this smells amazing!"

"My goodness, this is the best food I've ever eaten!" a long-time amusement park employee exclaimed. "No wonder visitors always say they need to digest their food before eating fried rice. It's really delicious!"

"It's really delicious." Ye Zhen put a mouthful of fried rice into his mouth and nodded in agreement.

He turned to look at his employees, who were incredibly excited about tasting the fried rice, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

"How about... we make the food in the dining area our staff meals for the next period of time?" Ye Zhen said with a smile. "Eat whatever you want, as long as you don't waste food, the amusement park will cover all the expenses."

"Principal, are you serious?!"

A newly hired female employee exclaimed with delight, "Oh my god, if there were food this delicious every day, I could work here for the rest of my life!"

“Who do you think you are? I can work for two lifetimes!” another new employee retorted defiantly.

"Then I'll live three lifetimes!"

"... "

Seeing that the new employees all seemed eager to stay there forever, Ye Zhen's smile grew even brighter.

so good.
