Translator: 549690339

Standing above a green mist, beneath an evening glow, shouting fearlessly into a vast and mysterious valley was quite a thrilling experience.

With Chou Yun Er leading, Qin Lang and his group, along with a few Food Spirits, continued to shout atop the mountain peak until the sun set and darkness fell.

Chou Yun Er’s home was also in the city and not too far from the hotel where Qin Lang was staying, so they were basically travelling back together.

As they rode back, Chou Yun Er quickly got interested in the delicious food known as Fish Belly Hidden Lamb that she would get to taste later.

That was a dish that had passed Mr. Zong Nian’s test!

Excitedly, she nudged Zhao Wenchang with her elbow, “Tell me, what is this Fish Belly Hidden Lamb like?”

“Well, you’ve found the right person to ask!” Zhao Wenchang smirked, and opened, “Although I haven’t tasted the upgraded version of Fish Belly Hidden Lamb, I had the basic version of it many times when Qin Lang was training.”

“This dish is…” he started to described the Fish Belly Hidden Lamb based on his memories.

During the cooking process of Fish Belly Hidden Lamb, Zhao Wenchang would purposely avoid watching, so most of what he spoke about was his tasting experience.

As he recounted his experience, Chou Yun Er started to feel even hungrier.

Luckily, she didn’t eat much at the snack stalls in the scenic area, so she had saved her appetite!

Soon, the three of them arrived at the hotel where Qin Lang was staying.

“I’ll fetch a package for a moment.” He signaled the two to wait in the lobby, then went to the front desk with the two little ones.

“Parcel?” As she watched Qin Lang’s retreating figure, Chou Yun Er once again looked intrigued.

“I know about this.” Zhao Wenchang chuckled, “It’s a box of mushrooms sent by Miss Xi Chen.”

“For Mr. Zong Nian’s test, it’s necessary to pass the examination of three first-level Food Recommenders with one dish. And the three first-level Food Recommenders that Qin Lang chose included Miss Xi Chen.”

“Before the test, Miss Xi Chen promised that if Qin Lang passed, she would give him some special mushrooms.”

“Uh…” Chou Yun Er gasped, “I see, but you shouldn’t eat Miss Xi Chen’s mushrooms casually.”

Even the Food Recommender herself often ended up in the hospital from eating the mushrooms, so it was easy to imagine how potent these mushrooms were.

“I believe that Qin Lang’s cooking skills will certainly handle these mushrooms well.” Zhao Wenchang spoke earnestly.

“What were you two talking about?”

Soon, Qin Lang returned carrying a large box.

Zhao Wenchang and Chou Yun Er took half a step back simultaneously as they saw the large box.

“Are you serious about taking a step back?” Qin Lang looked troubled, “Let’s go, to the kitchen attached to the hotel room.”

“Let’s go!”

Chou Yun Er nodded vigorously and quickly followed Qin Lang.

Her excitement had already been fueled by Zhao Wenchang’s detailed narration all the way.

“Hmm-”

Chou Yun Er cautiously picked up a chunk of fish, along with bits of mutton, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots wrapped inside, and put them all into her mouth.

Tasting the rich aroma and wonderful savory flavor of the fish and mutton, her eyes immediately lit up.

“This is so delicious!”

She seemed to have run out of words to describe her feelings at the moment, and after savoring it for a while, she finally exclaimed, “Delicious.”

“No wonder it is Fish Belly Hidden Lamb cooked with top-quality ingredients, the taste is several steps above what I had before.” Zhao Wenchang took some rice with his chopsticks and ate it, his face full of satisfaction after chewing for a moment.

“As long as you like it.” Qin Lang smiled and put a piece of Twice-Cooked Pork into his mouth.

Of course, the three of them couldn’t possibly just eat one dish. He also prepared some home-cooked dishes to go with the Fish Belly Hidden Lamb, including Twice-Cooked Pork, which La La adores.

The last time he made Twice-Cooked Pork was a hit. Judging from the bubbles of light gleaming continuously atop La La’s head, it was clearly very happy.

“I’ve made up my mind!” Chou Yun Er tasted each dish on the table once, then contentedly consumed a bowl of mushroom chicken soup. “I’ll come over for a free meal again tomorrow!”

Feeling her decision wasn’t received with complete acceptance, Chou Yun Er quickly added, “Mr. Li Yunxi’s seafood breeding base is near my house. I’ll bring the freshest seafood from there tomorrow!”

Qin Lang couldn’t say no to a dinner guest who brought their own ingredients.

“Sure,” he smiled. “In that case, let’s use various kinds of seafood to cook a delicious feast tomorrow.”

At that, Chou Yun Er and Zhao Wenchang swallowed hard.

“By the way,” Zhao Wenchang turned to Qin Lang, “you’re going back to Dongxia City once you use up the remaining two days on your Fun Pass, right?” “Unless something unexpected happens, that should be the case,” Qin Lang nodded slightly.

At that moment, his phone rang.

“You guys continue eating,” Qin Lang waved his hand, picked up the phone, and stepped out of the dining hall.

Seeing who the caller was, a surprised look appeared on his face.

Mr. Zhou Qing?

Now that he thought about it, the last time he had seen Mr. Zhou Qing was at the Beef Tasting Banquet at Zhen Niu Pavilion. However, they hadn’t spoken much back then.

Soon after that, upon Zhao Chen’s suggestion, Qin Lang went to Bai Lu Mountain City. Barely a few days after his return, he hastily came to Qingyang City, with no opportunity to meet Mr. Zhou again.

He remembered that during the test for acquiring the Fish Scale Badge, Mr. Zhou Qing had enthusiastically suggested that he drop by his house for a meal and for discussions in the future…

In a certain sense, he has stood him up.

Qin Lang felt somewhat embarrassed about it.

He hoped that this call wasn’t about that.

In the midst of his speculations, he answered the call.

“This is Qin Lang speaking, Mr. Zhou Qing,” he answered.

There was amusement in Zhou Qing’s voice over the phone. “Your voice sounds pretty lively. It’s been half a month since we last met at Zhen Niu Pavilion. I hope your cooking skills haven’t rusted away during this time.”

“Of course not,” Qin Lang replied confidently. “As a chef, my cooking skills can’t be allowed to stagnate. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve visited Bai Lu Mountain City and Qingyang City. Trying the local food there has given me more ideas about cooking.”

“Well, in that case, I’m relieved.” Zhou Qing sounded even more jovial now.

Relieved?

Qin Lang blinked, sensing that there was more to Zhou Qing’s words than just the concern of a senior for a junior.

“How well do you know Mingjing Province?” Zhou Qing changed the topic.

Mingjing Province?

“Mingjing Province is located in the southern part of Tianhua State. It consists of nine cities and has the longest coastline in the southern Samiya Region,” Qin Lang recounted his understanding of Mingjing Province. “It is rich in river and seafood.”

Of the twelve cities in Tianhua State, Qin Lang had gotten to know a lot through Luo Hui’s travel guide. However, his understanding of the world beyond Tianhua State was relatively limited.

“Indeed, Mingjing Province is rich in river and seafood. It ranks first for seafood in the Samiya Region, and second for freshwater foodstuffs after Mengze Province,” Zhou Qing approved.

“So, how about joining this old man on a tour of Mingjing Province?”
