The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 54 Tengniu Badge!

"This is my food sponsor's token, the Tengniu badge."

Fu Xing solemnly handed the badge in his hand to Qin Lang, and then slowly said, "As for the ten kilograms of silver frost beef as a reward, you can choose any of them in my storage room later. I will deliver it to your door after leaving your address."

"Thank you, Mr. Fu Xing!"

Qin Lang took over the Tengniu badge with a black bull depicted on it and a beef snowflake pattern as the background. Thinking of the ten kilograms of top-quality beef that was about to be in his hands, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"It's no big deal." Fu Xing was in high spirits after tasting the delicious Eighteen-Second Beef. He turned to look at Zhao Qian beside him, "What's your choice?"

"I choose the normal assessment."

Zhao Qian took a deep breath and made her decision.

With her cooking skills, she is not yet able to pass the Silver Frost test, but she still has some chance in the ordinary test.

"Okay." Fu Xing nodded, took Zhao Qian to choose beef, and sent her into the kitchen. Then he and Qin Lang waited together.

"Mr. Fu Xing, I have another matter to trouble you with." Qin Lang did not forget the main purpose of his visit to Fu Xing this time.

He pulled out his hand-drawn map from his pocket and asked, "Have you ever seen a food spirit like this in the Zhenniu Pavilion or anywhere else nearby?"

"Huh? Isn't this..." Fu Xing took a quick glance and showed a look of surprise on his face, but after taking it and looking at it carefully, he shook his head.

"No, it just looks a bit like..."

"Mr. Fu Xing?" Qin Lang couldn't help but shout when he heard Fu Xing mumbling to himself.

"It's a pity, but I can confirm that there has never been such a food spirit near the Zhenniu Pavilion." Fu Xing shook his head slightly and returned the blueprint to Qin Lang. "You may need to look elsewhere."

"Okay." Qin Lang sighed in disappointment.

He thought he could find the food spirit in the painting when he came to Zhenniu Pavilion, but he didn't expect that everything would return to the starting point.

Time passed little by little, and soon Zhao Qian finished cooking.

The aroma of tea, fruit and beef spread quickly throughout the restaurant as she appeared.

"Tea-smoked orange-flavored amber beef roll, please enjoy."

Zhao Qian spoke softly, and then stood aside with a somewhat nervous expression.

Although she had made many attempts and adjustments to this delicacy, she was not sure whether the final product could pass Fu Xing's test.

"Don't be nervous." Seeing the uneasiness on Zhao Qian's face, Fu Xing smiled and looked at the food on the plate.

Each beef roll was about two fingers thick, with a surface as deep as amber.

"It smells good." He sniffed it carefully, then picked up a beef roll with a fork and took a bite.

"Hmm?" His brows suddenly raised. "Wrap chopped water chestnuts and chopped onions in beef rolls?"

"This idea is very interesting. The freshness of water chestnuts and onions blends with the richness of beef. More importantly, the addition of these two ingredients makes the beef more juicy."

"The tea and fruit aromas are also very strong. If I'm not mistaken, the fruit aroma should have been infused during the brewing process, while the tea aroma is... due to the smoking technique?"

Fu Xing nodded continuously as he ate. "Combining one ingredient in multiple cooking methods enriches its flavor and texture."

“This is a very interesting innovation.”

After finishing a beef roll in a few bites, Fu Xing pointed at the remaining beef roll on the plate and looked at Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong with a smile.

"Come on, come on, try them all!"

"Then I won't be polite." Qin Lang nodded with a smile.

He has never tasted Zhao Qian's cooking.

Picking up a beef roll and putting it into his mouth, Qin Lang's eyes quickly showed a look of surprise.

From his point of view, the seasoning and selection of ingredients of this dish can be further optimized, but the cooking presentation is really interesting.

The combination of tea fragrance, orange fragrance and beef, Qin Lang had never tasted such a special flavor before, and what was even more commendable was that this flavor was not abrupt.

After finishing one, Qin Lang couldn't help but give Zhao Qian a thumbs-up. Meanwhile, Cao Dongdong, standing nearby, had already started devouring everything in his path. Seeing this, Dan Bao instantly became furious and flung his head out to grab the food.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Qian's heart unconsciously settled down, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

When the plate was empty, Fu Xing took out another Tengniu badge and solemnly awarded it to Zhao Qian, "Your cooking skills have also been recognized by me."

"Great." Zhao Qian smiled happily, "This is my third Food Recommender badge!"

"The third one..." Qin Lang touched his chin.

What a coincidence, this is also his third food recommender badge.

"Haha, it seems you are one step closer to activating the Tianxuan Star Vein." Fu Xing laughed, "Come on, young men."

"Yes!" Zhao Qian nodded heavily, then an embarrassed look appeared on her face, "Mr. Fu Xing, I want to take another test!"

"Oh?" Fu Xing blinked. "I have to remind you that the Food Recommender Badge cannot be obtained repeatedly."

Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong's expressions also became a little weird.

We just finished the assessment, why do we need another assessment?

"I know." Zhao Qian nodded, "So this time, I'm going to take the test of a first-level Spirit Master!"

"A first-level spirit master?!" Qin Lang was shocked.

He suddenly remembered that he had learned before that Mr. Fu Xing was the most special one among the seven first-level food recommenders in Dongxia City, because he also served as a first-level spirit controller and could take the food recommender assessment and the spirit controller assessment at the same time.

But... with Bubu's current strength, is it enough?

"Are you sure?" Fu Xing's expression became a little more serious.

He glanced at Zhao Qian's Food Spirit and said in a deep voice, "Your Food Spirit is more than just a little short of challenging the first-level Spirit Master assessment."

"I understand." Zhao Qian nodded heavily, her eyes meeting Bubu beside her, and there was a determined light in each other's eyes.

"But I've always wanted to become a powerful Imperial Spirit Chef since I was little, so I want to see how difficult the first-level Spirit Master assessment is!"

Fu Xing said in a deep voice, "Are you not afraid even if you fail?"

"Don't be afraid!" Zhao Qian's tone remained firm.

"In that case..." Fu Xing took a deep breath, "Follow me."

As he spoke, he stood up from the restaurant, and Qin Lang and the other two quickly followed.

Soon, the four of them arrived at a hidden battle venue inside the Zhenniu Hall.

"Your opponent is this!"

Fu Xing touched his forehead, and a food spirit over one meter tall appeared.

"drop--"
