Chapter 277: Comparing Again

Translator: 549690339 |

Hearing the other party’s words, Shen Qian silently stepped back, giving Qin

Lang a “I’m handing it off to you” look.

After gaining so much attention at the Leaping Fish Banquet, Qin Lang had been recognized several times and was getting used to it.

Of course, Shen Qian can’t help but grumble.

She, the one who got second place in the Youth Group, was never recognized…

“Are you Miss Shen Qian? The second place winner in the Youth Group.”

“Yes, that’s me!”

Shen Qian’s voice rose slightly, and she took a big step forward, giving the girl who recognized her a “you did good” look.

Noticing Shen Qian’s small gestures, Qin Lang had a hint of amusement in his

eyes, “I’m Qin Lang.”

“Wow! It really is both of you!”

Once their identities were confirmed, the group of teenagers showed their excited expressions and quickly crowded around.

“Boss Qin, I’ve tried all four types of crab roe rice!

“So did l! The gravy seafood was delicious!”

They, who were of similar ages to Qin Lang and Shen Qian, enthusiastically expressed how much they loved the food that Qin Lang and Shen Qian presented at the Leaping Fish Banquet.

Qin Lang indeed found these people vaguely familiar, although he couldn’t

quite remember them.

“Thank you for liking the food I made.” Qin Lang courteously responded.

“Indeed, thankyou for your support.” Shen Qian said with an amused smile.

It was so rare for her to be recognized, her heart was filled with joy, along with

a few flutters of excitement.

“Have you guys had lunch yet?” Shen Qian casually asked.

It was lunchtime, hence her question.

However, after she asked, the few boys and girls in front of her fell silent at once, looking at Qin Lang and Shen Qian with a somewhat odd look.

“What’s wrong?” A curious Qin Lang asked, noticing their unusual behavior.

“Oh! These days have been so torturous for us!” The leading boy exclaimed, then started to explain why.

The group of three boys and two girls in front of them was from Xiyun City, another city in Mingjing Province, located west of Lanqiu City.

They were all food enthusiasts, and two of them had even become Spirit Chefs, though their Food Spirits had just emerged.

Knowing about the Leaping Fish Banquet, the five of them decided to come to

Yue Hu City together.

At the three-day Leaping Fish Banquet, they tasted many dishes that they had never tasted before, which was like paradise for any food enthusiast.

But the problem was, the Yueyu Banquet was over.

And all the Spirit Chefs who’d set up stalls at the Yueyu Banquet would not be doing so anymore.

That meant they wouldn’t be able to taste that delicious food again.

The five of them felt like they had plummeted from heaven to hell and hadn’t recovered in two days. They were even struggling to swallow more commonplace food.

The reason they were on the deck was that they weren’t interested in the food provided on the cruise ship and decided to come out for some fresh air. However, not long after they came out, they saw Qin Lang and Shen Qian. After hearing about their situation, Qin Lang and Shen Qian looked at each

other.

Now they somewhat understood why the group had looked so peculiar before. It was probably akin to encountering the author of a book when suffering from a cliffhanger.

But Qin Lang didn’t have a good solution for their situation.

Cook them the crab roe fried rice again?

Wouldn’t that just exacerbate their loss of appetite?

Perhaps it would be more natural to let them recover on their own after a few days.

On the other hand, Shen Qian, who was standing nearby, rubbed her chin and her eyes lit up. “I have an idea!”

In an instant, all six eyes turned towards her.

“I have also experienced a decline in appetite before, so I have some experience.” Shen Qian appeared quite confident.

“Eating some more stimulating food can quickly recover your appetite! For example, sour or spicy food. Other than that, there is another way…”

Shen Qian drew out her last word, looking at Qin Lang.

Seeing Shen Qian’s starry-eyed look, Qin Lang had an ominous feeling.

Based on his understanding of Shen Qian, her appearance meant… “Qin Lang, let’s have another competition!” Shen Qian put her hands on her chest, “Let’s have these five be the judges, what do you think?”

As expected.

Qin Lang showed an “as expected” expression, “compete in what? You didn’t finish what you were saying earlier.”

“I’m saying it now.” Shen Qian started speaking with a cheerful smile, “There are some foods that smell disgusting but taste wonderful. From my experience, after eating these foods, no matter how much you’ve lost your appetite, it will instantlyrecover.”

“This is called Contrast Therapy!”

“How about it, do you guys want to try?” Shen Qian looked towards the five people, “If you want to try it, then be the judges for me and Qin Lang! We’ll compete using the theme of ‘smells disgusting, tastes wonderful”.”

A big question mark appeared on Qin Lang’s forehead.

Are you serious?

Can delicious food that reeks somehow cure a lack of appetite?

What even is Contrast Therapy?

How come he’s never heard of it before?

Qin Lang couldn’t help but look at the five people.

Such an outrageous proposition, they should refuse, right?

They should, right?

They should…

“Great! We want to try!” The five people exchanged glances and nodded as one.

Qin Lang: “…”

Eating anything would only harm you!

The five people completely ignored Qin Lang’s expression, their minds now full of anticipation.

Are there really foods that smell disgusting but taste wonderful?

They don’t know, at least they’ve never heard of it.

But, a dish prepared by the Spirit Chefs who ranked first and second at the Youth Group of the Leaping Fish Banquet, must not be disappointing.

Is the focus supposed to be on “smelling disgusting ?

No! The focus is “tastes wonderful”!

How could something delicious smell so bad that it’s unbearable? At most, it doesn’t whet your appetite.

That’s a minor problem!

Moreover, witnessing their competition and acting as the judges is also fun!

They cannot come up with any reason to refuse!

Qin Lang paused for a moment and then sighed softly.

At one side, both Dan Bao and Spicy looked scared.

The two little ones quickly came together and started whispering.

“Chaka ba?”

Did you bring that stuff?

“Gulu gudulu…”

Yes, I personally packed it in the suitcase…

“Chaka…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

We’re screwed then…

After the Food Spirits finished their conversation, they cast sympathetic looks at the five people.

They completely have no idea what they’ re about to experience!

“Come on! Qin Lang! Let’s show you the special food I’ve mastered!” Shen Qian looked expectant.

After she happened to taste this type of food once and regained her appetite, Shen Qian actively learned and mastered its cooking method.

Although it smells strange, the food truly tastes amazing!

She hasn’t thought about it before, but suddenly remembering it now, she immediately wanted to show Qin Lang.

Qin Lang looked at Shen Qian who was filled with expectation and his expression was weird.

If you also possess a food that smells disgusting but tastes wonderful like I do, then this situation is simply…

Too cool and awesome!
