The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 303 This dish is all you can eat!

"I had heard some things about it before."

As he spoke, Ren Qiu glanced at Fatima and smiled.

"I heard that the Ferry region has developed various functional cooking additives, almost all of which are safe additives that can be directly absorbed by the human body and transformed into nutrients needed by the human body."

"Now it seems that the rumor was true."

“Yes,” Fatima adjusted her glasses. “This practice is quite common in the cuisine of the Feli region. Besides the use of safe additives, there are also some…”

She paused slightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes, before glossing over the topic, "However, such a approach may not necessarily be accepted in other regions."

“In some regions, safety additives produced by Feli are regarded as poison by the public, and even the association itself has personally intervened to boycott them.”

"Haha, I know where you're talking about." Ren Qiu chuckled. "But our Dongyun region is all-encompassing, and the people there are relatively receptive to changes in cuisine."

"At least…"

"I have no prejudice against this dish."

As she spoke, Ren Qiu looked back at the lake-colored crab dish in front of her, her eyes filled with admiration. "This dish amazes me in terms of its difficulty in preparation, its novelty, and its taste."

"Although Xixi's crispy fried crab was already at its best, I think this dish is even better."

“So, you’ve passed my test.” With that, Ren Qiu stood up, took out a badge, and handed it to Fatima. “Keep this safe.”

"Thank you!"

Fatima was slightly moved and carefully put the badge away.

Its significance lies not only in Ren Qiu's recognition of her culinary skills, but also in Ren Qiu's recognition of the culinary philosophy of the Feli region. Therefore, even Fatima, who rarely experiences emotional fluctuations, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of joy.

"Hmph! You stinky old man." Ren Xi pouted. "It's not too much for me to ask for a crab shell since I lost the competition, is it?"

With lightning speed, she snatched the whole crab shell from Ren Qiu's plate and began to gnaw on it with great interest.

From her satisfied expression, it was clear that Ren Xi herself was also captivated by this very special dish, Fatima.

"Next up is Qin Lang." Cao Dongdong looked expectant and patted Qin Lang's shoulder hard. "You rascal, don't end up like Fatima, only doing one crab. Do more!"

He only tasted one crab leg of the lake-colored crab dish, which was far from satisfying; he only managed to get a taste.

If Qin Lang does the same thing later, he'll really make a scene!
“That’s right, a bigger portion!” Zhao Qian nodded in agreement. Tempted by the delicious food, she decisively chose to join forces with Cao Dongdong.

"It would be best if everyone could have one crab." Zuo Ge swallowed hard. "Two would be even better, but three wouldn't be a problem either."

"You guys are too greedy, aren't you?" Qin Lang shook his head, both amused and exasperated, then changed the subject, "However..."

"The dish I'm going to make will really satisfy you."

Is it really possible for everyone to get more than one?
Everyone's eyes lit up at the same time.

"What dish are you making?" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but swallow hard. "It's not crab-stuffed orange, is it?"

“I think crab stuffed orange is good,” Ren Qiu suddenly said. “I watched your competition video, and I’m really interested in this dish.”

"So Qin Lang, are you going to use this dish for the test?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang couldn't help but laugh and cry. "Since Mr. Ren Qiu is interested, I'll make crab-stuffed oranges for everyone later."

"However, I have other options for the next food recommender assessment."

How can I increase Egg Baby and Spicy's experience points without making new dishes?
The reason these two little guys were able to increase their experience points so quickly was entirely due to Qin Lang cooking a variety of different dishes for them to enjoy.

Therefore, this assessment of food recommenders will be no exception.

Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Qin Lang smiled.

"Everyone, just wait to eat, there's plenty to go around."

Full capacity?

Everyone's eyes lit up. Wouldn't that mean each of them could eat several large crabs?
-

"It's impossible for each person to have several large crabs."

In the kitchen, when faced with Lala's curious question, Qin Lang shook his head slightly, then paused, "But it's true that you can eat your fill."

"Chapter?"

Lala tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Is not this contradictory?

Seeing Lala's confusion, Qin Lang smiled slightly.

"Mr. Ren Qiu's assessment topic was crabs."

"But he didn't say that the only ingredient used was crab."

Hearing this, Lala was still pondering when Danbao's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Gululu!"

I know, it's crab fried rice!

As long as there is enough rice, even a small amount of crab will be enough to fill you up!
Qin Lang: “…”

"That's a good idea, but don't think about it again."

He chuckled and rubbed Egg Baby's head, then focused his attention back on the cooking he was about to do.

Initially, Qin Lang planned to use spicy crab to complete the assessment.

This dish, which leans towards home cooking but is still very particular about the cooking time and temperature, is not easy to make well and requires a lot of effort.

However, after tasting Ren Xi's crispy fried crab, Qin Lang quickly abandoned the idea.

On the one hand, the crispy fried crab is quite good, but the spicy crab might not be able to pass this test smoothly.

On the other hand, the two methods are somewhat similar, both involving deep-frying and stir-frying, and their seasonings are also similar, both being a fusion of spice flavors and crab flavor.

After abandoning that option, Qin Lang quickly came up with a new idea.

That's the dish he's about to make.

Crab meat lion's head meatballs are a classic dish of Huaiyang cuisine.

"As Mr. Ren Qiu mentioned before, the characteristic of Yuehu crab is that its meat is sweeter and fresher." Qin Lang placed the eight-ounce female crab, tied with hemp rope, belly up, on a bed of ginger slices and put it into the steamer. "In this way, it is most suitable to make this crab meat lion's head."

Taking out a large piece of hindquarter meat and a bag of water chestnuts, Qin Lang looked at Danbao beside him and said, "Come on, Danbao, it's time for you to shine."

"Gulu!"

Egg Baby responded and stepped forward to blow on the pork and horseshoes.

After the "Freshness Over" was finished, Qin Lang removed the skin from the pork rump, separated the fat and lean meat, and finely chopped and coarsely minced it.

Mince the lean meat and cut the fat into small pieces, then set aside.

Next, chop the water chestnuts and set them aside. The crabs in the steamer next to it have been steamed for twelve minutes and are now cooked.

Separate the crab meat and crab roe and set aside for later use.

Take the lean meat from the hindquarters, add crab meat and a little salt for seasoning, then gradually add scallion and ginger water and continue to stir.

Ten minutes... twenty minutes... half an hour...

As time passed, Danbao and Lala, who had been indifferent at first, gradually widened their eyes as they watched Qin Lang stirring at a constant rate.

Is this dish really that difficult to prepare?!
