Chapter 267 - 267 Crab Vinegar

Translator: 549690339 I

Despite being relatively quirky, Qin Lang had a decent understanding of the three dishes Luo Xian made, thanks to the descriptions in the article.

At the same time, he also decided that he would definitely taste the food prepared by the other party tomorrow to see how high his culinary skills were. After a long and exhausting day, Qin Lang’s tightly wound spirits suddenly loosened, and an unimaginable fatigue quickly set in.

After reading the article introducing Luo Xian, he tossed his phone to the side of his bed, cuddled up with the two little creatures, and fell asleep quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was next morning.

Through communication with the staff members, Qin Lang successfully set up another temporary stove next to the original one at his stall.

In this way, two kinds of crab roe fried rice with different flavors could be provided simultaneously.

In terms of ingredients, having learned from the experience the day before when he ran out of ingredients prematurely, Qin Lang prepared twice as many ingredients as he did for the third session last night.

After all, whatever was not sold in the morning could still be sold in the afternoon.

There was still some time before the start of the fourth session, during which Qin Lang was preparing gravy seafood while carrying out another preparation which was not done before.

That was, preparing crab vinegar.

Crab vinegar is made from ordinary balsamic vinegar, and the process of making it requires a lot of finesse.

A good crab vinegar recipe can elevate the taste of crab meat to another level, and since Qin Lang decided to provide crab vinegar to his food guests, he obviously won’t slack off in this aspect.

“Spicy, come help!” Qin Lang called out to Spicy, who was ogling the seafood in the glass tank with envy, then commenced his work.

He placed perilla leaves and tender ginger at the bottom of the pot, added soy sauce, honey, and water in a 3:1:1 ratio, heated the mixture on low heat until it began to bubble, turned off the heat, strained it, and let it cool.

When the sauce cooled down to room temperature, he added balsamic vinegar to it in a 1:1 ratio, then stirred it evenly, and finally squeezed in some lime juice. A portion of crab vinegar with a refreshing fruity aroma capable of dispelling the cold and enhancing the freshness of the food was ready.

He poured the crab vinegar into a prepared vinegar bottle. Qin Lang tasted it and, finding that the structure of the bottle allowed the crab vinegar to flow out evenly, he nodded in satisfaction.

“Gurgle-”

“Click-”

Noises came from the two little creatures at his side.

Looking at the two envious little beings, Qin Lang shook his head helplessly. He almost forgot that they had not tried the crab roux fried rice with vinegar. “There’s still some time, let’s fill our stomachs a bit.” In no time, Qin Lang fried two pots of original and spicy versions of crab roe and handed out the food to the two little ones after adding a few drops of the crab vinegar, “Have a taste.”

While the two little creatures were cheerfully eating ravenously, he filled up two bowls for himself.

First, the original version.

The peculiar sweet-sour taste of crab vinegar infused into the crab roe, instantly activating the rich flavour of the crab, enhancing the overall taste and giving it a complementary feel.

Pairing spicy fried rice with crab vinegar wasn’t bad either.

The fresh sour taste of lime did not conflict with the wooden crab fight and red hemp seed in the crab roe fried rice. The combination of the three created a unique blend increasing both the sour and spicy flavours and making the original deliciousness of the crab roe clearer.

It’s such a delicacy that makes your taste buds memorize the flavor the first time you taste it.

“I think the food guests will definitely like it.” After tasting, Qin Lang nodded in satisfaction.

The two little creatures, with their faces full of satisfaction, wholeheartedly agreed to this statement.

“Ding- ”

The electric bell rang.

Once again, Miss Ye Cangqing made her appearance and, after a few encouraging words, announced the start of the second day of the Leaping Fish Banquet.

In the distance, the cruise ships sailing towards the “Yueyu” were now faintly visible.

A shipload of food guests was about to arrive.

Aboard a cruise ship heading to the “Yueyu”, a man and a woman stood side by side, gazing at the laid out “Yueyu” gradually enlarging in their line of sight. The man turned his head to look at Jiang Qianyi, asking with a smile.

Jiangjiang, which stall are you planning to visit first today?”

”Just strolling around.” Jiang Qianyi’s eyes flicked, speaking with a casual tone, “Maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll discover a new dark horse just like you.”

“A dark horse isn’t that easy to find. If a Spirit Chef hasn’t made a name for themselves on the first day, there’s little chance for them on the second day ” The man shook his head slightly, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Cheng Yuansen, dubbed “Forest”, was a writer for another independent media outlet.

After accidentally tasting Luo Xian’s cuisine, he wrote an entire article about him. At the time, Luo Xian hadn’t earned the temporary first place honor, nor had he attracted much attention.

With Luo Xian’s overnight fame, he too had gained a lot of traffic.

Cheng Yuansen and Jiang Qianyi used to work together and knew each other, so they chatted together after meeting on the deck.

“I have seen the articles you’ve written these past two days, none of which mention Luo Xian.” Cheng Yuansen smiled faintly, “Unless I’m mistaken, your first destination today should be Luo Xian’s stall.”

“Writing about Luo Xian now, although a little late, could still attract some traffic. Cheng Yuansen spoke in a suggestive tone.

After all, he was the first writer to mention Luo Xian.

Thinking about this, Cheng Yuansen’s back straightened a tad.

“We’ll see.” Seeing her companion’s demeanor, Jiang Qianyi responded in her usual nonchalant and casual tone.

Visit Luo Xian’s stall and write an article about him?

As a writer for an independent media outlet, Jiang Qianyi would naturally do this, but it wasn’t necessarily her top priority.

After all, she was already one step behind.

If she couldn’t discover the dark horse in advance, publishing related articles would just be catching the tailwind, with little return.

She had another target instead.

It was Qin Lang.

As an independent media writer, Jiang Qianyi had her own sources of information.

According to her knowledge, Qin Lang had made some changes to the crab roe fried rice again today after introducing the improved version last night.

Jiang Qianyi was more interested in this than in Luo Xian.

Continually improving dishes at the Leaping Fish Banquet was a risky move.

What made Qin Lang make such a decision?

If possible, she even wanted to take a few minutes of his time for an exclusive interview.

Cheng Yuansen was unaware of Jiang Qianyi’s thoughts.

Looking at Jiang Qianyi’s indifferent expression, he sneered internally. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It’s all an act! It must be an act!

She must be secretly envying his good luck.

Cheng Yuansen’s interview target for today was also confirmed.

It would be Qiu Longfei, who was currently ranked temporary second in the all-age group.

Being surpassed, for the Spirit Chef who had won many honors in the Provincial-level Cooking Competition, must be a difficult thing to bear.

How would Qiu Longfei respond? What was his opinion on this? If he could understand these, he could write another article that could generate significant heat.

The two writers each had their own thoughts, revealing nothing.

Soon, the “Yueyu Cruise Ship” was within sight.
