The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 53 Amazing Beef Dishes

Outside the kitchen, Fu Xing sat at the dining table leisurely with his arms folded across his chest. Beside him were Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian, who looked nervous.

There is a small ten-minute hourglass in the middle of the dining table, and at this moment half of the sand in the upper layer of the hourglass has already leaked out.

"Four minutes have passed, and I don't know how far Qin Lang has progressed." Zhao Qian couldn't help but murmur softly, "The processing of the ingredients should be completed, right?"

"I believe Qin Lang can do it." Cao Dongdong already had blind confidence in Qin Lang's cooking skills. "The beef is probably already in the pot."

Fu Xing listened to the two people's whispered conversation without commenting.

Because he had heard Zhou Qing and Song Hui praising him in the meeting beforehand, the assessment that Fu Xing prepared for Qin Lang was not a simple one.

If we have to compare, it may be close to the difficulty of the assessment of a second-level food recommender, and has exceeded the scope of a first-level food recommender.

It is not impossible to cook edible beef in ten minutes, but it is not easy to make beef that satisfies him.

I wonder what kind of answer Qin Lang will give?

Just as he was thinking of this, faint footsteps were heard in the kitchen, and soon a figure walked out with dishes in his hands.

"You..." Fu Xing's expression turned surprised. "Is it over?"

He glanced at the hourglass and saw that not even half of the agreed ten minutes had passed!
"Oh my God, you're too fast!" Zhao Qian couldn't help but exclaim, staring at the plate in Qin Lang's hand.

In such a short time, the beef won’t be cooked enough, right?

Could it be that Qin Lang made beef sashimi?
But the steam rising from the plate cannot be faked.

"I knew Qin Lang could do it!" Cao Dongdong obviously didn't realize the value of making a beef dish in four minutes. He had almost no talent for cooking, but he raised his head proudly, looking very proud of himself.

Qin Lang smiled at the two of them, then put the dishes in his hand on the table and looked at Fu Xing.

"Eighteen-second beef, please enjoy."

"Okay." Fu Xing nodded slightly, and then looked carefully at the plate of 18-second beef cooked by Qin Lang with a slightly scrutinizing look.

Between the orange-yellow shredded orange peel and the brown-gray shredded beef, there is a touch of bright red, mouth-watering chili peppers and juicy green coriander.

The vivid and conflicting colors make the dishes in front of you particularly appetizing.

While feeling the strong visual impact, Fu Xing also smelled the rich fragrance.

The slightly sour taste of the orange peel has long since dissipated after being marinated in honey, and has been replaced by a natural and refreshing sweetness.

This sweet smell is perfectly blended with the rich and pure meaty aroma of beef, and is embellished with the spicy taste of coriander and chili peppers, making it tempting and unique.

Cooking in under ten minutes and adding cilantro both satisfied the criteria.

So there's only one last thing left.

Whether its taste can impress you.

But just by smelling the fragrance, Fu Xing had a feeling.

This dish is pretty good.

He took a deep breath, quickly picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Along with the beef, he also put finely chopped coriander and thin strips of orange peel into his mouth.

After being specially marinated and processed by Qin Lang, and fully absorbed with moisture using a mixing technique, the beef tenderloin has a smooth and tender taste. A slight chew will cause the rich and delicious juice to splash between the lips and teeth, and then resonate like a soul with the tip of the tongue.

The extremely short cooking process not only cooks the beef till maturity, but also locks in its internal flavor to the greatest extent.

And that’s not all there is to this dish.

Whether it is the coriander that exudes a unique fragrance but loses its pungent smell during the stir-frying process, or the unique taste that is a fusion of the sweetness of honey and the astringency of orange peel, they are all stimulated to the greatest extent during the chewing process and blended with the taste of beef.

Just like a flower bud needs green leaves to set it off, these different flavors constitute the different layers of food, and this layering further highlights the deliciousness of the beef itself.

At this moment, this delicious taste was passed from Qin Lang's hands to Fu Xing's lips and teeth.

What surprised Fu Xing even more was that the beef was incredibly tender.

As a foodie who specializes in beef dishes and beef cattle farming, Fu Xing has seen too many beef dishes.

In order to make the beef as tender and juicy as possible, many Yuling chefs do not cook it completely, allowing the beef to be filled with more gravy, thus achieving a tender and juicy effect.

But the 18-second beef in his hand was completely different.

The fully cooked beef is much more tender and juicy than half-cooked beef. This technique and cooking method is beyond imagination.

At this moment, Fu Xing finally understood why Zhou Qing and Song Hui praised Qin Lang's culinary talent so highly.

If time goes back to yesterday's meeting, facing Pang Long's proposal, he would definitely stand up and speak up for Qin Lang.

No, given his personality, he would probably just beat Pang Long up.

"Damn Pang Long." He muttered in a voice that only he could hear, and then picked up another chopstick and put it into his mouth.

The fresh taste in his mouth made Fu Xing close his eyes comfortably.

Then came the third and fourth bites...

Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian, who were originally planning to take a bite, watched Fu Xing finish the entire plate of 18-second beef, and immediately put on a bitter face.

They could smell the aroma wafting from the side, but couldn't eat it.

too painful!

Just as they were thinking about it, another plate of beef appeared in front of them like magic.

"I made a little more." Qin Lang smiled, "Try it."

Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian, who had been drooling with greed for a long time, didn't have time to say anything. They picked up their chopsticks and started showing off their rice.

After just one bite, their eyes widened instantly.

"This..." Zhao Qian looked at Qin Lang in astonishment.

How to make such delicious food in four minutes?

She was originally considering whether to take the Silver Frost Assessment, but she gave up the idea instantly.

She simply couldn't complete such a difficult assessment requirement as easily as Qin Lang, so she should just do the normal assessment honestly.

Just as she was thinking about it, Zhao Qian caught a glimpse of Cao Dongdong who was showing off his meat in big mouthfuls and stuffing two bites into Tuantuan's mouth.

"Cao Dongdong! Leave some for Bubu and me!"

Looking at the two people fighting over the food, Qin Lang smiled silently and looked at Danbao who was slowly floating out of the kitchen with soup on his mouth.

Soon, there were only two empty plates left on the table.

"It would be even better if it could be served with rice." Fu Xing touched his stomach and spoke with an unsatisfied look.

"Ten minutes is not enough time to cook." Qin Lang replied with a smile.

"That's right." Fu Xing stood up suddenly.

"Congratulations, you've passed the Silver Frost test."
