The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 356 One Fish, Ten Ways to Eat It

Ten dishes?!

Upon hearing Qin Lang's words, Zheng Chuan's eyes showed even greater surprise and anticipation.

In terms of quantity, this sturgeon is enough to make ten dishes.

However, the cooking of delicious food cannot be judged solely by quantity. Using one sturgeon to make ten different dishes, and ensuring that each dish is of a high standard, is definitely not an easy task.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Zheng Chuan's eyes. "In that case, I'll wait and see."

"Okay." Qin Lang nodded with a smile, "But I still need to prepare some ingredients."

"No problem." Zheng Chuan waved his hand. "Just write down a list of the ingredients you need, and I'll get them all for you!"

"Okay." Qin Lang nodded, and without standing on ceremony with Zheng Chuan, he borrowed paper and pen and quickly wrote down a list of ingredients, then handed it to him.

"Hmm?" Zheng Chuan glanced at Qin Lang's ingredient list and immediately showed a surprised expression.

The ingredients required were not only numerous, but many of them were ingredients that were not frequently used under normal circumstances, making Zheng Chuan even more excited about the ten dishes Qin Lang was going to make.

"Let me make a call." Zheng Chuan walked aside to make a call, and returned a moment later, giving Qin Lang a "done" gesture.

"Your ingredients will be here in five minutes."

Qin Lang nodded, inwardly marveling at the extraordinary sourcing of ingredients by the food recommender. Many of the ingredients he requested were hard to find in the market, yet Mr. Zheng Chuan was able to procure them within five minutes.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Zheng Chuan's doorbell rang again. Zheng Chuan returned, this time carrying a heavy box of groceries.

"All the ingredients you need are here." Zheng Chuan handed the ingredient box to Qin Lang. "Let me see how well you can make them!"

"No problem!" Qin Lang nodded confidently, carrying the ingredient box in one hand and the sturgeon in the other, and walked straight towards the kitchen.

Watching Qin Lang disappear through the kitchen doorway, Zheng Chuan turned his gaze to Cao Dongdong and the other three who had followed him, and they began to chat casually.

In the kitchen, after Qin Lang finished taking stock of the ingredients, he began to process them methodically.

"Gulu gulu?"

Egg Baby volunteered and came over, his eyes full of excitement.

It clearly heard that Qin Lang wanted to use this big fish to make ten dishes!

In this way, there will definitely be many opportunities for it to be of help!
"Indeed, there are quite a few." Qin Lang nodded with a smile, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "With your Freshness boosted to two stars, it has reached Lv2, greatly increasing the number of food types it can affect, from two to five, and the cooldown time has been increased to eight hours."

"Grrrrrr!"

Egg Baby nodded emphatically.

With so many varieties and quantities, it must be able to help, right?
“However…” Qin Lang changed the subject, “to make this fish dish ten ways well today, using only five kinds of fresh ingredients might not be enough.”

As he spoke, he took out plenty of fresh ingredients that Egg Baby would need.

First came the sturgeon, which had been dead for several hours, followed by pork bones, morel mushrooms, beef bones, lamb bones, deer bones, donkey bones…

Looking at the nearly twenty kinds of ingredients that needed to be processed laid out on the table, Danbao's expression gradually changed from anticipation to bewilderment.

With so many ingredients, it seems like it can't handle it.
"Don't panic," Qin Lang said with a smile. "I was prepared."

Eh?
Egg Baby blinked, and then saw Qin Lang take the Miracle Knife out of the Traveler's Book. Its eyes lit up instantly.

They had previously tried to integrate Egg Treasure into the Miracle Knife to perform culinary arts, which would greatly enhance the effects of the arts and allow the variety of fresh ingredients that Egg Treasure could process to become limitless!
In this way, even cooking one fish ten times can be easily accomplished!

"Om-"

With a soft sound, Egg Baby instantly merged into the Miracle Knife. Accompanied by a light yellow light, and using the Miracle Knife as a medium, a fresh and abundant power instantly enveloped all the ingredients.

Once the ingredients were prepared, Egg flew out of the Miracle Knife. Qin Lang turned to look at Spicy, who was also looking at him with eager eyes, and patted its head with a smile.

"LaLa is the hero who caught this sturgeon."

"You'll be needed quite a bit in today's cooking."

"Chop!" Lala's eyes lit up.

Is it also going to enter the Miracle Knife category?
“That’s right.” Qin Lang nodded.

Lv1 cooking speed-up can accelerate the cooking process for 1500 minutes. If multiple cooking processes are accelerated simultaneously, then 1500 minutes is the total acceleration time for all processes.

It has to be said that this acceleration time is already quite astonishing, after all, it was a full 25 hours, but it is still not enough at this moment.

In his spare time, Qin Lang had tried to get Lala into the Miracle Cleaver.

Miracle Cleaver's ability is to enhance cooking skills. This ability accelerates spicy cooking, resulting in a completely different effect from Egg Treasure's.

With the Miracle Knife, the total cooking time will be converted into the individual cooking time for each cooking process, and there is no limit to the number of cooking processes.

This means that Lala can speed up an unlimited number of cooking processes, with each process having a maximum acceleration time of 1500 minutes.

This acceleration effect is sufficient for 99% of cooking tasks.

"Don't rush your work." Qin Lang said, both amused and exasperated, as he held down Lala, who was about to plunge into the Miracle Cleaver.

"I need to prepare all the cooking processes first."

As he spoke, he placed the now incredibly fresh sturgeon on the table, picked up the Miracle Knife, and his expression became more serious.

Sturgeon is not only very rare, but it can also be said that every part of it is a treasure, with different parts having extremely high nutritional value.

This time he's going to make ten dishes, but he won't just use sturgeon meat to cook them all; he'll use different parts of the sturgeon.

The first dish he's going to make will use the bone marrow of sturgeon, also known as "dragon tendon".

Cut the sturgeon's head off at the second cusp below the head, then place it in the steamer.

Next, make a circular cut from below the tailbone, severing all the outer skin and flesh without damaging the central "dragon tendon".

Once the fish meat has completely separated, use skillful force to slowly pull the "dragon tendon" out of the sturgeon's body.

The two-meter-long sturgeon has a tendon that is one and a half fingers thick, white as jade, and has amazing toughness.

Soon, Qin Lang successfully and completely extracted the entire 1.6-meter-long dragon tendon.

Seeing this, Danbao and Lala, who had been holding their breath, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
