The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 222 Did Qin Lang throw the final?
Without any hesitation, everyone present picked up their chopsticks and rushed forward.

The portion of a whole, exquisite lobster was enormous. After Du Ziyan cut it up, there were nearly a hundred lobster meat flowers on the plate, enough for everyone present to enjoy.

Even Qin Lang couldn't resist coming over, picking up his chopsticks and putting a rose-shaped shrimp tail meat into his mouth.

The shrimp meat bursts into your mouth with an amazing firm and bouncy texture. The petal-like crevices are filled with the sauce left over from the drizzle. One bite and the rich, irresistible umami flavor fills your mouth.

As you chew, the shrimp tail meat bursts with an amazing sweetness, like a sharp sword piercing through the delicious sauce, revealing its own unique flavor.

After swallowing it, Qin Lang's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Eating lobster like this is so satisfying!

"Waaah~" Yu Zaozao covered her mouth and kept chewing, her eyes full of excitement.

She ate too quickly, swallowing a whole shrimp in one gulp. But her mouth wasn't big enough, so it was particularly difficult to eat. However, she couldn't bear to spit it out, savoring the sweetness in her mouth with delight in her eyes.

After finally swallowing it, Yu Zaozao quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"what!"

She quickly looked at the camera and said, "My fans in the live stream, I guarantee this is the best lobster I've ever eaten in my life!"

Without her saying a word, the fans in the live stream were already drooling when they saw everyone, including the food recommender, frantically grabbing food without any regard for manners!
Damn it, another day of envying streamers!
"The taste of this shrimp is truly..." Bao Heng sighed and shook his head, wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes. "Eating it once is enough to make this lifetime worthwhile."

Yes, he cried again.

"You've already deserved this many times in your life." Pang Ju rolled his eyes at Bao Heng, his mouth still full of food.

In a short time, he had already eaten two rose-shaped shrimp tails and decided to try something different: a peony-shaped claw.

He picked up a flower and popped it into his mouth with a "whoosh." After chewing it a couple of times, Pang Ju's eyes lit up instantly.

The meat of the claw is not as firm and chewy as that of the shrimp tail, but it has a stronger fibrous texture, giving it a satisfying feel similar to eating beef.

At the same time, the sweetness of the claw meat seemed to be even more intense. After taking a bite, Pang Ju's lips and teeth were left with only the ultimate freshness.

"This taste... is absolutely wonderful." Pang Ju exclaimed, shaking his head, and picked up the second peony claw meat without hesitation.

The seven food recommenders somewhat remembered that they were there to judge the food, and they continued to savor the meal as they ate. Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian, who were just there to freeload, didn't care much. They not only ate, but also released their respective food spirits to try it together.

After a whirlwind of eating, only one piece of shrimp tail meat remained on the plate. Cao Dongdong quickly reached out with his chopsticks, but watched helplessly as another pair of chopsticks swiftly snatched it away from the rose-shaped piece.

Looking up at Qin Lang feeding the shrimp tail meat to Danbao, Cao Dongdong's expression immediately darkened. "Qin Lang, aren't you going to cook your own dishes?"

Upon hearing this, the others were equally surprised and looked up at Qin Lang, whose belly was round from eating.

no…

Is this appropriate for you as the other side in the competition?

"Almost done, almost done." Qin Lang waved his hand and glanced at the soup pot on his side.

After such a long simmering time, the huge soup pot, which was initially full of water, now only has about one-third left.

The soup, which was originally only slightly whitish, has now been thoroughly cooked into a cloudy golden yellow, the color of which comes from the oil being rendered out and infused into the broth. This kind of soup is called "hairy soup".

Strain the golden broth from the pot through cheesecloth. Add water to the minced chicken breast and mix until it becomes a paste. Add scallions, ginger, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, salt, and sugar.

Bring the broth to a simmer again, swirl it in one direction with a spoon, and then slowly pour in the well-stirred minced chicken breast.

Once the broth boiled again, the cloudy liquid had become visibly clearer, with chicken breast pieces floating on the surface, having absorbed the impurities from the broth.

Skim off the foam, keep the chicken breast, add a spoonful of cold water and wait for the broth to boil again. Repeat this five times, then set it aside to hang up. Finally, his gaze fell on the exquisite lobster.

Qin Lang had witnessed Du Ziyan using a handsaw to cut the rare and exquisite lobster, and thus gained an understanding of the lobster's hard shell.

But coincidentally, he had just acquired a suitable kitchen knife.

Pretending to draw a knife from his knife case, Qin Lang took the Miracle Kitchen Knife out of the Traveler's Book.

The moment the dark blue blade appeared, Du Ziyan's eyes were as if drawn by a magnet, fixed on the knife in Qin Lang's hand.

When Du Ziyan saw Qin Lang effortlessly cut open the shell of the exquisite lobster with a knife, without damaging the meat at all, looking completely relaxed and at ease, his breathing became rapid.

For a chef, the excitement of seeing a top-quality kitchen knife is unimaginable.

Even when Qin Lang defeated him 7-0 yesterday, he didn't lose his composure like this, but now, Du Ziyan's heart is filled with envy and jealousy towards Qin Lang.

The others present stared dumbfounded at the knife in Qin Lang's hand, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

Zhao Qian secretly nudged Cao Dongdong, "You've known Qin Lang the longest, when did he get a knife like this?"

"I don't know?" Cao Dongdong scratched his head, a very interesting expression on his face. "I've never seen it before!"

The others overheard the conversation between the two, and at that moment, only one thought remained in their minds.

Qin Lang didn't even use his full strength in the finals!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Lang separated the lobster tail meat as a whole, first cutting it into strips from head to tail with a knife, then quickly cutting it into balls about five centimeters thick, and then putting them into a bowl of starch.

As the shrimp meatballs roll naturally, a thin layer of starch quickly adheres to their surface.

After completing this step, Qin Lang immediately began processing another important part of the lobster meat—the claw meat.

With the astonishing sharpness of the Miracle Cleaver, Qin Lang sliced ​​the claws of the exquisite lobster in half, revealing its plump flesh inside.

Using the same method, Qin Lang cut the claw meat into balls, washed the inside of one half of the shrimp claw, and naturally formed a container for holding it.

After doing all this, Qin Lang turned around and went to the soup pot, using gauze to filter out the chicken breast paste that had completely solidified in the pot.

The resulting soup was clear and bright like tea. Qin Lang scooped up a spoonful and took a small sip; an extremely rich and savory aroma surged in his mouth.

The clear broth goes down the throat, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

Broth, done!
