“What?!”

Luo Hui stared wide-eyed at the second badge Qin Lang had just pulled out, so shocked that he didn’t even notice when his rag dropped to the floor.

After all, the young man had just gotten his first badge yesterday!

And now, he had acquired the second one today?

Since when did those picky and strict Food Recommenders become so accommodating?

What’s more, the Fish Scale Badge the boy received yesterday was a test of skills in cooking fish dishes, but the Daisy Badge he had today was for dessert dishes.

The contrast between the two badges was far too stark, wasn’t it?!

“Uncle Luo Hui, relax.” Qin Lang put the Daisy Badge away, picked up the rag and handed it back to Luo Hui, “I’ve got some desserts with me, do you want to try some?”

“Sure, I’m kinda hungry…” Luo Hui washed his hands, taking a bag from Qin Lang.

Once he put a piece in his mouth, Luo Hui’s face seemed to light up with nostalgia, “This taste is so familiar… did Song Hui make this by herself?” “Yes.” Qin Lang nodded, feeding Dan Bao and taking a bite himself.

“How did Song Hui give you so many desserts?” Looking at the packed boxes next to Qin Lang, Luo Hui was somewhat envious.

In her youth, Song Hui had countless admirers. As someone who disliked taking advantage of others, she would return the gifts from her admirers with her homemade desserts, and then politely reject their confessions.

As a result, her delicious desserts only attracted even more admirers…

“About that…” Qin Lang briefly described what had happened.

“I see.” After hearing this, Luo Hui couldn’t help sighing, “It’s not easy for Song Hui.”

“Indeed, her husband passed away and she raised her daughter alone…” Qin Lang began to say, subconsciously.

“Wait!” Luo Hui looked at Qin Lang oddly, “Who told you that Song Hui’s husband passed away? He just transferred to Mingjing Province for work.” Qin Lang:”…”

So why did Su Zhi’s eyes turn red when he mentioned her father last night? Thankfully he hadn’t brought it up in front of Song Hui; that would’ve been rude.

“I initially thought that acquiring three badges within a week was too ambitious for you.” Luo Hui’s face was a complex mix of emotions, “1 didn’t expect you to get two Food Recommender Badges in just two days.”

“There are still four days left until the city-level cooking competition begins.

You only need to get one more badge to qualify…” Luo Hui glanced at Qin Lang, suddenly feeling that this wouldn’t be difficult for the boy.

“I’ve already decided who the third Food Recommender I want to visit is.” Qin Lang said, confidence in his smile.

“You’re planning to go tomorrow?” Seeing Qin Lang’s smile, Luo Hui instantly felt something was amiss.

“Yes, I want to strike while the iron is hot.” Qin Lang nodded naturally.

At this, Dan Bao let out a “gurgle” sound, demonstrating its faith in Qin Lang. “You call this striking while the iron is hot?” Luo Hui couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Getting three Food Recommender Badges in three consecutive days.

Is he even human?

But remembering that Qin Lang had already gotten two badges in two days,

Luo Hui felt that Qin Lang could indeed pull it off.

“The third recommender you’re going to visit, who is it?” he asked curiously. “Mr. Fu Hang of Zhen Niu Pavilion.” Qin Lang replied without hesitation.

“Food Recommender Fu Hang…” Luo Hui stroked his goatee, deep in thought.

Fu Hang, he was also a First-Level Food Recommender in Dongxia City.

And he was known for his beef dishes.

As a result, his tests were often based around beef dishes.

Beef…

Luo Hui looked at Qin Lang.

Previously, during Qin Lang’s absence, he had a brief exchange with Du

Weiwei, who had come to look for Qin Lang.

Thus, he knew that Qin Lang had participated in a Food Fight with Du Weiwei. In that Food Fight, Qin Lang used an oxtail to prepare Red Braised Oxtail and won.

So, it seems that Qin Lang is quite proficient in cooking beef.

“This Food Recommender’s test should be quite suitable for you,” Luo Hui nodded, then changed the subject. “But isn’t Zhen Niu Pavilion quite far from your place? How did you think of visiting them?”

“Aside from the Food Recommender Badge, there’s an extra reward if 1 pass the Food Recommender’s test,” Qin Lang replied with a shy smile.

This brings us to the Zhen Niu Pavilion, established by the Food Recommender Fu Hang.

Fu Hang doesn’t just excel in cooking various beef dishes; he’s also extremely particular about the quality of his beef.

Zhen Niu Pavilion, is a place that Fu Hang devoted his entire life to, in pursuit of the ultimate beef dining experience.

Zhen Niu Pavilion has a unique positioning.

It’s not exactly a restaurant, but Fu Hang does cook beef there for his guests.

It’s not a farm either, but Fu Hang does raise high-quality beef cattle there.

It’s not a market, but Fu Hang does sell beef to Spiritual Chefs he approves of.

It’s not a club, but there’s a group of beef lovers who regularly meet up there.

Moreover, Zhen Niu Pavilion also serves as the place where Fu Hang, the Food Recommender, conducts his evaluations.

As long as one can pass the test set by Fu Hang, they can take away one kilogram of beef from any part of the cattie.

Do you know how expensive top-quality beef from the Food Spirit World can be?

Do you know how poor Qin Lang is?

Do you know how thrilled Qin Lang was when he heard the news from Zhou Qing?

“So that’s why.” Luo Hui laughed heartily, “Then you should be careful. Fu Hang’s beef isn’t that easy to get!”

“I’ll have all your appointments for tomorrow’s main course dishes arranged during the dinner service time, so you have the whole daytime to challenge.” He patted Qin Lang’s shoulder, “Good luck!”

“For cooking beef, I have great confidence,” Qin Lang answered, nodding vigorously.

That one kilogram of beef, he was determined to get it!

As the serene moonlight bathed every corner of Dongxia City, Qin Lang, who had finished cooking Steamed Bass for the dinner service hour, was walking home along the streets with Dan Bao.

Dan Bao was different tonight.

It was flying left and right, constantly circling Qin Lang’s head and occasionally glancing at him, as if trying to remind him of something.

“Stop it! I’m getting dizzy from your spinning,” Qin Lang, who was bothered by Dan Bao, gently grabbed him and tucked him into his embrace. “Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the egg yolk crisp I promised you!”

“Gulu!”

Dan Bao instantly cheered.

In the afternoon, while waiting for the Lotus Seed Paste to cool down, Qin Lang told Dan Bao about a Chinese dessert called egg yolk crisp and promised to make it for him once they get the Daisy Badge.

Just hearing the name alone, Dan Bao knew this dessert was meant for him!

Seeing that Qin Lang hadn’t forgotten, Dan Bao’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“Let me think…” Qin Lang mumbled softly, “To make egg yolk crisp, we’ll need some ingredients that are not available at home.”

He looked up at a store not far away and smiled, “We’re almost home. This store should have the ingredients we need. I’ll buy them and make it for you once we get home!”

“Gulu!”

Dan Bao’s eyes filled with anticipation.jpg
