The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 357 An amazing taste!
After completing the most difficult step of removing the tendons, Qin Lang then cut the sturgeon into different parts, such as the skin, belly, and back meat, and processed them in different ways before starting the complex preparation process.

Whole chicken, pork bones, ham, dried scallops, and morel mushrooms are put into a soup pot. This is the first dish in the "One Fish, Ten Ways" recipe, which is the soup base for the Jade Dragon Tendon.

Remove the crab roe and crab meat from the steamed crab and set aside. Sauté the crab shell, then pour in plenty of oil and add ginger slices. This is the first step in making the crab roe oil needed for the jade-quality dragon tendon.

Beef bones, mutton bones, deer bones, donkey bones, turtle bones, grouse bones, black-boned chicken bones, and quail bones are all put into a soup pot. This is the second dish in the recipe of "One Fish, Ten Ways to Eat It," which is the rich broth made from nine bones to make "Jade Bones."

Cut the sturgeon tail into sections...

Once all the cooking preparations were complete, Qin Lang took a deep breath, and his mind involuntarily recalled the process by which Du Ziyan used the cooking spirit to speed up the completion of a similar cooking method.

Now, not only can he do it, but with the help of the Miracle Knife, he can do it even better.

"Come on, spicy!"

"Chapter!"

Spicy let out an excited low cry and quickly flew towards the Miracle Knife, merging into it in an instant.

A brownish-red light then burst forth from the miracle cleaver, enveloping the entire kitchen. Every step of the cooking process was visibly accelerated under LaLa's precise control…

"Gulu~"

Zuo Ge rubbed his rumbling stomach and kept looking towards the kitchen, his eyes filled with longing for the food. "I wonder how long it will take Qin Lang to finish cooking all the dishes this time."

"I feel like I'm starving."

"I don't know how long it will take, but it certainly won't be short." Cao Dongdong sat calmly on the sofa with his arms crossed, his face full of composure.

"Didn't Mr. Zheng Chuan just say that sturgeon is more difficult to cook than normal lake fish?"

"The whole fish feast that Qin Lang prepared on the 'Leaping Fish' took up most of the day before, and this time it will only take longer."

“So…” Cao Dongdong glanced at the sky outside, “Don’t even think about eating before dark.”

"Huh?" Zuo Ge's expression immediately fell. "How about we discuss it with Qin Lang and have him cook one dish at a time?"

"Think about it, these dishes must be eaten while they're hot to taste their perfect flavor. If you wait until all the dishes are served at once, the earlier dishes will have gone cold, and how can you eat them then?"

"Qin Lang should have noticed that, right?" Zhao Qian tilted her head and recalled, "At the previous fish banquet, Qin Lang served the dishes one by one."

"In any case, we just need to wait," Zheng Chuan said with a smile.

After hearing about the so-called all-fish banquet from Qin Lang's friends, Zheng Chuan wished he had been there himself.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel more excited about Qin Lang's next plan to cook the fish in ten different ways.

For such a wonderful meal, any amount of waiting is worthwhile.

As they were talking, the kitchen door creaked open.

The murmurs of the crowd abruptly ceased, and they turned sharply to look at Qin Lang, who calmly walked out, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Qin Lang came out in less than an hour?

Isn't it said that sturgeon is quite difficult to cook?

However, they soon showed expressions of sudden realization.

Qin Lang was probably preparing and serving dishes one at a time, and the first dish was served relatively quickly, so it was the first to be brought out. Realizing this, Cao Dongdong couldn't wait to ask, "What's this dish called?"

"What dish?" Qin Lang looked at Cao Dongdong with some confusion. "There are ten dishes here. Which one are you referring to?"

Ten dishes?
The room fell silent. The next moment, Zheng Chuan stood up first, quickly passed by Qin Lang, and rushed into the kitchen.

Looking at the ten dishes piled high on the table, Zheng Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He had seen Qin Lang's ingredient list, and many of the ingredients on it were very difficult to process. How could they all be turned into dishes so quickly?

Behind Zheng Chuan, the others rushed into the kitchen. When they saw the ten dishes that had actually been prepared, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and their gazes toward Qin Lang became somewhat strange.

"You were so fast this time?!"

Cao Dongdong looked at Qin Lang in disbelief, then shouted exaggeratedly, "Monster, get off my brother!"

"Alright," Qin Lang said, both amused and exasperated, as he pressed Cao Dongdong down. "Hurry up and help take all these dishes out."

Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze and rushed to carry the dishes from the kitchen to the dining room.

Once all the dishes were served, everyone eagerly sat down around them, gazing longingly at the ten exquisite dishes, and then looking longingly in Zheng Chuan's direction.

This is the food recommender's assessment; Mr. Zheng Chuan must be the first to taste all the dishes.

Sensing the urging in the eyes of the others, Zheng Chuan smiled, his eyes also showing a hint of eagerness, "Which dish should we eat first?"

"This dish." Qin Lang smiled and brought out a plate. The dragon tendon, which had been cut into finger-length pieces, was piled up in the center of the plate and drizzled with a slightly thick golden broth.

"Jade-textured dragon tendons, please enjoy."

"Jade-like dragon tendon?" A look of realization dawned on Zheng Chuan's eyes. "So that's it, this is the spinal cord of a sturgeon."

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh. "Using 'dragon tendon' to refer to the spinal cord of a sturgeon is really quite apt."

As he spoke, Zheng Chuan picked up a piece of jade dragon tendon.

Under the bright lights, the crystal-clear surface of the dragon tendon is coated with a layer of golden broth that looks like glaze. It trembles and sways gently when picked up with chopsticks, shimmering with an alluring luster.

As the dragon tendon approached his mouth and nose, a rich and strange umami flavor violently surged into his nostrils. The flavor contained the mellow and delicious aroma of broth, the rich crab flavor of crab roe, and a subtle hint of the unique fish flavor that belonged only to the sturgeon.

Smelling the rich and distinct aroma, Zheng Chuan could no longer resist and put the jade dragon tendon into his mouth without hesitation.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

The tendon is crisp and chewy, full of collagen, and as you chew it, the rich, sweet flavor of crab meat explodes in your mouth.

Dragon tendon is tasteless on its own, but when combined with crab roe oil and chicken broth, it becomes incredibly delicious and flavorful. In addition, the unique texture of the dragon tendon enhances the flavor. At this moment, only two words remain in Zheng Chuan's mind.

Stunning!

This jade dragon tendon is absolutely stunning!
