The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 161 Special Assessment Requirements
"Now I will announce the results!"

Yuan Qi shouted, "Cao Dongdong, harvest 32 mu!"

"Invincible!" Cao Dongdong swung his fist forcefully into the air. "With this speed, who else can match him!"

Yuan Qi glanced at Cao Dongdong before speaking.

"Qin Lang, the harvested area is 41 mu!"

"Huh?" Cao Dongdong's expression froze. "How could this be..."

"Who told you to harvest here and there?" Qin Lang shrugged. "The correct method should obviously be an S-shaped cut."

"You're getting too cocky!"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Egg Baby's big tail. "Victory belongs to us!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Qi spoke again as soon as he finished speaking.

"Zhao Qian, harvest 45 mu."

"Huh?!" Qin Lang looked at Zhao Qian in surprise.

"You're getting too cocky too soon~" Zhao Qian blinked, leaving Qin Lang speechless.

"Wait a minute!" He suddenly realized something, looked at Bubu beside him, and his expression immediately became interesting.

"You had Bubu use his mind to speed up the harvester!"

"Oops, we've been spotted." Zhao Qian patted Bubu's head and giggled. "But we didn't say you couldn't use combat techniques, okay?"

"Hehe~" Seeing the three laughing and joking, Lu Suzhi, who was walking over, couldn't help but smile. "It's so good to be young."

"Mr. Lu Suzhi!"

The three quickly stopped their playful harvester race, and even Yuan Qi, who was cooperating with them, looked up at the sky.

"Thank you so much for today," Lu Suzhi said with a smile. "Without your help, the rice harvest wouldn't have been finished until tomorrow."

“Harvesting a day earlier might slightly improve the quality of the rice. While ordinary people might not be able to taste the difference, the pursuit of excellence in ingredients should never be overlooked.”

As he spoke, Lu Suzhi glanced at the sky.

"There is still some time. If you are ready, I may take the time to conduct a food recommender assessment for you."

"Huh?" Yuan Qi, who was standing to the side, immediately looked surprised. "Mr. Lu, aren't they the helpers you hired?"

“No, they just happened to be here by chance.” Lu Suzhi smiled. “Xiao Yuan, would you like to try their cooking?”

"Huh? Can I do it too?" Yuan Qi looked surprised.

He's just an ordinary person, a rice cutting worker at the Fengshou Terraced Fields. How could he possibly participate in the food recommender assessment?
"Of course." Qin Lang smiled. "Thank you for teaching us how to use the harvester today. We also want to express our gratitude in our own way."

After speaking, he turned to look at Lu Suzhi, his expression becoming serious. "Mr. Lu Suzhi, what are your assessment requirements?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian's expressions also turned serious.

Lu Suzhi's request is crucial to whether the two of them can participate in the assessment!

"Require?"

Lu Suzhi smiled, looking at the rice paddies around him that had just been harvested. "Use rice as the main ingredient to make delicious food that satisfies me."

"how?"

"I quit!" Cao Dongdong raised his hand helplessly. "I'm completely bad at cooking dishes with rice as the main ingredient."

Zhao Qian, who was standing to the side, pondered for a moment, her eyes flashing with determination.

"I want to try it!"

"I'll participate too." Qin Lang smiled, and various rice-related delicacies quickly flashed through his mind.

"Tsk, there are so many, it's hard to choose." "Okay." Lu Suzhi smiled, "Come with me."

“Let’s go back inside and cook.”

"My mountain delicacies fried rice is ready, please enjoy!"

Without keeping everyone waiting too long, Zhao Qian, who was the first to take the test, brought out the delicious food she had prepared.

A rich aroma of various mountain delicacies wafted over as a large plate of steaming fried rice appeared before everyone's eyes.

The glistening rice is mixed with various diced mushrooms and garnished with a few chopped green onions.

"It smells delicious." Lu Suzhi looked carefully at the food Zhao Qian had prepared and nodded slightly. "The color is also very good."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qian smiled and couldn't help but steal a glance at Qin Lang.

Qin Lang chuckled silently.

No wonder this guy asked him for advice on how to make fried rice the other day; it turns out he was referring to fried rice with eggs and made a wild delicacy fried rice.

However, this dish is not something that can be simply imitated.

While Qin Lang was pondering, Lu Suzhi had already put a mouthful of fried rice into his mouth, and as he chewed, his eyebrows involuntarily rose.

“This taste…” Lu Suzhi’s eyes lit up. “You first made a soup with various mushrooms, and then used the soup from the mushroom soup to cook the rice?”

“That’s right!” Zhao Qian nodded emphatically. “This allows the aroma of various mushrooms to be better infused into the rice grains.”

“That’s interesting.” Lu Suzhi smiled. “You started laying the groundwork from the moment the rice was being cooked? That’s a clever approach.”

Hearing Lu Suzhi's praise, Zhao Qian's smile deepened.

Although this mountain delicacy fried rice was inspired by the method of egg fried rice, she still added a lot of her own ideas!

Lu Suzhi scooped up another spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Yuan Qi, whose head was almost buried in his plate.

"what do you think?"

"Huh? Me?" Yuan Qi raised his head blankly, a few grains of rice still stuck to the corner of his mouth, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In the food recommendation assessment, does he even have a say?

Seeing Yuan Qi's expression, Lu Suzhi already knew the answer. He smiled and looked at Zhao Qian, "This mountain delicacy fried rice is very good."

"I think it deserves a food recommender badge."

As he spoke, he took a badge from a cabinet and gently placed it in Zhao Qian's hand.

"yeah!"

Zhao Qian couldn't help but cheer, holding up the badge in her hand with an excited smile on her face.

Great! She obtained her sixth Level 1 Food Recommender Badge, and only one more badge is needed to activate her second star vein!

"Congratulations." Qin Lang congratulated Zhao Qian with a smile, while also feeling a bit expectant. "Next, it's my turn to make preparations."

Holding Egg Baby in his arms, he quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Watching Qin Lang's figure disappear into the kitchen, Cao Dongdong chuckled, "I can already guess what delicious food Qin Lang is going to make."

"If I'm not mistaken, it'll definitely be fried rice with egg," Zhao Qian said with a smile, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Although she didn't have Qin Lang's skill in controlling the heat and making simple fried rice so delicious, she made up for her shortcomings by cooking mountain delicacies fried rice in a way that suited her.

Perhaps, after Mr. Lu Suzhi has tasted Qin Lang's fried rice, she could ask him which of their dishes was better?
In the kitchen, while Qin Lang was washing the rice, Danbao curiously asked if the dish they were making was fried rice with eggs.

"Fried rice with egg?" Qin Lang smiled mysteriously.

"Let's try something new today."
