The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 362 The Jade Pendant Reunion Plan
"pat~"

With a soft sound, Fatima, who was the slowest eater among Qin Lang's group of five, slowly put down her chopsticks.

A one-meter-long rare fish is not small, but Qin Lang made it into four different dishes, and each dish was divided among five people, so naturally there couldn't be too much. Even though they had eaten a big meal before, everyone could finish it.

"Everyone, tell us."

Qin Lang glanced at the four people and asked softly, "What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of this rare fish?"

"What flaws? Absolutely none!" Zuo Ge, who had been holding back his words for a long time, slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Whether it's steamed, fried, stewed, or braised, this fish performs perfectly."

"I have never eaten such delicious fish before, and I feel that I will never eat fish that is more delicious than this again!"

“Although that’s a bit of an exaggeration, it’s not far off.” Zhao Qian nodded in agreement, then leaned back listlessly. “Anyway, I can’t find any flaws in this rare fish.”

“Yes.” Cao Dongdong’s expression was somewhat complicated. “If I had to point out a flaw, it would be that it has too few flaws. If this rare fish could reach the size of the previous sturgeon, it would be even better.”

"You wish!" Qin Lang rolled his eyes in annoyance, then looked at Fatima with expectant eyes.

The other person eats the slowest and most meticulously, so they might have some ideas.

“This rare fish…” Fatima paused for a moment, then spoke softly as the anticipation in Qin Lang’s eyes grew stronger, “It should be given a name.”

Qin Lang: “…”

So what exactly is he expecting?!

“That’s right!” Zhao Qian slapped the table. “Not only this brand-new rare fish, but the rare spirit should also have a name.”

"Alright then." Qin Lang chuckled.

His feelings were similar to those of the other four.

This new and rare fish species has an almost unbelievable compatibility with a wide variety of very different cooking methods.

When fried, the fish skin becomes crispy and fragrant, while the fish meat is tender and delicate.

When used for stewing, the fish meat remains intact and the fish soup is rich, creamy, and white.

When braised, the fish meat is incredibly flavorful, and the skin is soft, tender, and delicate.

Qin Lang had no doubt that even if he used other special cooking methods that he hadn't tried today, this fish would be perfectly suited.

It's like it combines all the advantages of river fish ingredients, making it a "universal ingredient" among river fish ingredients.

“Let’s call it ‘All-Treasure Fish’,” Qin Lang decided decisively. “The word ‘All’ represents comprehensiveness, which suits it perfectly.”

As he spoke, he looked at the goldfish, Zhenling, in the fish tank beside him.

At this moment, the shimmering golden goldfish spirit appeared to him like a treasure trove of endless possibilities, so…

"I'll call you 'Little Goldfish'!"

“Wait a minute…” Cao Dongdong’s expression suddenly became interesting. “The name of the rare fish is quite nice.”

"But what the heck is a goldfish?!"

“Exactly, exactly.” Zhao Qian glanced at Qin Lang with disdain. “You’re such a terrible name-giver.”

"What do you know?" Qin Lang said matter-of-factly. "This is called maintaining formation!"

As he spoke, he summoned Little Fatty Chicken and Little Millet respectively. "The two of them are called Little Fatty Chicken and Little Millet, and the third one will also be named 'Little'." "The goldfish's scales are all golden, so this name is perfect."

The newly summoned chubby chicken still had some premium rice stuck to its beak and a bewildered expression on its face, while the millet grains were covered in mud, as if they had just been pulled out of the ground.

While Qin Lang and his friend were arguing, the two precious spirits exchanged glances and then looked at the fish tank together. The little fat chicken turned its head away uninterestedly after seeing the goldfish, but the little millet grain showed a thoughtful expression.

After the two rare spirits appeared, the friends had to admit that although Qin Lang's names were a bit casual, they were indeed very fitting.

With his theory proven correct, Qin Lang chuckled and put the little chubby chicken and millet grain back into the Traveler's Book, then looked at the little goldfish that was curiously looking over.

"You should stay in the fish tank for now."

It doesn't yet have a place in the traveler's book.

However, this did serve as a reminder to Qin Lang.

Both the chubby little chicken and the little millet grain appeared in the landscape paintings in the Traveler's Book and were then acquired by him.

The area on the back of the corresponding landscape painting is where they are placed.

However, the little goldfish was transformed by Xiaocai herself, and the way she obtained this precious spirit was different from the other two precious spirits.

In this situation, would the Traveler's Book still provide resettlement areas?
Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Shaking his head, Qin Lang turned to the other four people and said, "I have an idea on how to fulfill Mr. Zheng Chuan's request."

Upon hearing this, the four of them showed expressions of curiosity.

Mr. Zheng Chuan's condition is that he will only take out the fourth fragment if the owners of the other three jade pendant fragments are willing to give them up.

In other words, the goal is to reconcile the four parties.

Everything else is fine, but the Ren family and the Zhang family have a long-standing feud involving three generations, which is not so easy to reconcile.

Qin Lang came up with a solution in such a short time?
"I plan to solve this problem with food." Qin Lang didn't keep them in suspense and said with a smile, "Food is the best way for people to get closer. I want to invite all four families to have a meal together."

"At the dinner table, everyone talked about the past."

“It sounds good, but there seems to be a problem.” Zhao Qian looked thoughtful. “Xi Xi said before that the Ren family and the Zhang family try to avoid each other even when attending various occasions. How could they possibly have dinner together?”

"Are we going to trick them into coming?"

“No need for that.” Qin Lang smiled. “Ordinary delicacies naturally wouldn’t be enough to attract both families to attend at the same time, but what if I brought out the rarest ingredient in the world, the All-Treasure Fish?”

Upon hearing this, the other four people's eyes lit up.

Yes, Qin Lang now has some new and rare ingredients!
Such an opportunity, which one might never have in their lifetime if missed, would probably be irresistible for both families, even if they had old grudges against each other, to accept the invitation.
"If that doesn't work, I'll have to resort to the Face Fruit." Qin Lang suddenly smiled, and seeing that the others didn't understand, he took the initiative to explain, "Didn't President Su say before that we could come to her if we encountered any problems?"

"President Su was also a witness back then. I plan to invite President Su to come as well. This will make the past events more credible. At the same time, the Ren family and the Zhang family will also come because of President Su's influence."

"That's killing two birds with one stone!" Cao Dongdong had fully grasped Qin Lang's meaning, and he suddenly stood up and clenched his fist. "When do we invite them?"

"Let's wait a couple of days." Qin Lang glanced at the little goldfish. "I need to get to know the whole rare fish better, and also think about what dishes would be suitable."

The goldfish will have a tough time during this period.
