The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 17 Official Royal Spirit Chef

The early morning sunlight shines sparsely through the half-closed curtains and falls outside the window, leaving transparent paths of light in the dim room, and then falls on the head of the bed, waking up the sleeping figure in the bed.

"Um…"

Qin Langshu frowned, then slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, but there was still a bit of trance in his eyes.

"Gulu~"

A soft call sounded in his mind, and Qin Lang's consciousness was completely awakened. He casually tapped the location of the Tianshu star vein on his forehead. The next moment the star vein flashed, and the egg baby flew out of it with an extremely excited expression.

"Good morning, Danbao." Qin Lang touched Danbao's big ears, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "What does it feel like to be in the star vein?"

Hearing this, the smile on Danbao's face quickly disappeared, and he said a lot of angrily.

To sum up, the space in the star vein looks large, but it is actually very small, making it feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Lang: “…”

If he guessed correctly, this had a lot to do with the Traveler's Book.

The normal star vein space is definitely enough to accommodate the food spirit.

However, the outsider, the Book of Travelers, occupied most of the empty spaces in the Tianshu Star Vein, and Danbao was unable to detect the existence of the Book of Travelers.

So, it just feels very uncomfortable.

I just don’t know if the same situation will occur in the new star vein after I open the second star vein Tianxuan.

"It's okay, you can just stay outside from now on." Qin Lang looked at Dan Bao sympathetically, "I'll make you some more delicious food."

“Gurgle! (≧≦)”

Danbao's depressed mood came and went quickly, but when he heard Qin Lang's promise, he immediately changed into a happy expression.

"Come on, get up and wash up, then we'll have breakfast."

"Gulu gulu?"

"What's for breakfast?" Qin Lang smiled. "Remember what we put in the refrigerator before we went to bed last night?"

“Eat it in the morning.”

As he spoke, Qin Lang went to the bathroom, put some toothpaste on it and started rinsing his mouth.

Danbao's attention instantly shifted from breakfast to Qin Lang's toothbrush moving left and right. He looked at the foam coming out with an interested look.

After Qin Lang finished rinsing his mouth, it came forward and rubbed the toothbrush hard.

"Gulu!"

"You want one too?" Qin Lang looked at Danbao with an embarrassed look on his face, "But you don't seem to have teeth..."

Egg Treasure: (*﹏)
Damn it, can’t I brush my teeth if I don’t have teeth?
This makes no sense!
"Don't be sad, let me wash your face." Qin Lang took out a face towel and soaked it in hot water, wrung it dry and handed it to Danbao.

"Come on, stick your head out~"

"Goo!"

Danbao obediently stretched out its egg yolk head and let Qin Lang wipe its round little head clean with a washcloth. Then it retracted its head and waited obediently for Qin Lang to wipe the part of its body outside its head.

"Okay, let's start making breakfast."

After washing up, Qin Lang brought Danbao to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and a large bowl came into view.

The large bowl is covered with a layer of plastic wrap, and inside the plastic wrap is a white dough with a yellowish tint, which is large enough to support the plastic wrap.

Seeing this scene, Danbao's eyes widened in shock.

It remembered that when Qin Lang put the bowl into the refrigerator last night, there was only a fist-sized ball inside. After one night, it had grown so big.

"This is called low-temperature overnight proofing." Qin Lang explained with a smile, "Even though it looks much bigger than yesterday, its actual weight hasn't changed."

"It gets bigger because there are a lot of small pores inside."

“It’ll give it a different taste.”

Danbao nodded as if he understood, and watched Qin Lang quickly knead the dough into the shape of steamed buns, and then put them into the steamer after the water boiled.

Steam for 15 minutes, turn off the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

The soft and glutinous steamed buns that are not easy to collapse are freshly baked, emitting a rich aroma of flour.

Thorough fermentation makes the steamed buns taste particularly soft and delicious, without any choking feeling, and the loose structure also makes it easier for salivary amylase to take effect.

Qin Lang picked up one and chewed it for a while. He felt that the bun became sweeter as he chewed it. It did not need any side dishes to go with it. It was perfect.

"But having said that, I still have to make various pickles or sauces when I have time later." Qin Lang muttered softly while eating.

This world also has various kimchi and pickled vegetables, but the production methods are different from those in the previous life.

The cooking of many dishes from previous lives requires a variety of special sauces or pickles to fully present their complete appearance.

Therefore, making various sauces and pickles at home is a necessity in the future.

The production of this kind of thing often takes time to settle, so naturally the sooner you start, the better.

The egg baby on the side didn't care about any sauces or pickles. All his attention was focused on the freshly baked steamed buns.

miamiamia~
Really fragrant!

After finishing the meal and cleaning up the kitchen, Qin Lang carried Danbao and went straight to the Yuling Chef Association.

Only after completing the registration of the first food spirit in the Royal Spirit Chef Association can the Royal Spirit Chef complete the corresponding identity authentication and enjoy the welfare benefits of the association.

What Qin Lang cared about most was that the Royal Spirit Chefs enjoyed a 20% subsidy from the Royal Spirit Chef Association when purchasing ingredients, which was a 20% discount.

This is just the benefit for formal Royal Spirit Chefs. When Qin Lang activates more star veins in the future and obtains a higher Royal Spirit Chef rating, the discount will be even higher.

"Please temporarily retract your food spirit into the star vein."

The staff member in charge of certification explained, "In the past, there have been cases of people borrowing other people's food spirits to impersonate the Imperial Spirit Chef. Reclaiming the star veins is to prove the existence of a contractual relationship between the Imperial Spirit Chef and the food spirit."

"Okay." Qin Lang nodded in understanding. After taking the egg treasure back into the star vein, he summoned it out again.

"Okay." The staff nodded, skillfully carried out the various certification processes, and then took out a Royal Spirit Chef badge and handed it to Qin Lang.

"This is your Imperial Spirit Chef badge. It contains your information. With it, you can receive a 20% subsidy on food purchases. You will also receive corresponding benefits in shopping malls and hotels where the Imperial Spirit Chef Association holds shares."

"Also," the staff member gestured towards the testing room on the right, "you can test your food spirit's flavor and properties there."

"Thank you." Qin Lang carefully took the badge with his name and Royal Spirit Chef number written on the back and the Royal Spirit Chef Association logo engraved on the front, and then looked at the test room pointed by the staff.

The soul-eating scanning device can scan most of the soul-eating information.

But there is some information that it cannot scan, or is deliberately not added to the scanning function to protect privacy.

In addition to the food spirit's self-taught combat skills, there are two very critical and important indicators: the food spirit's characteristics and taste value.

Characteristics are the special qualities that every food spirit is born with.

Taste value is a key indicator to characterize the individual differences of food spirits.
