Gourmet Beast Tamer

"Hey! Is Xiao Qin a guest at home?"

Qin Lang, who was about to go home with his large bags in hand, paused and quickly recognized the owner of the voice, Aunt Zhou, who lived in the same building.

"Bought it to practice cooking." Qin Lang said lightly.

"That's right, I even forgot that you are a chef." Aunt Zhou nodded with understanding and smiled, "Then you are busy, don't forget to put the leftover ingredients in the refrigerator, the weather will get bad quickly."

"Thanks for reminding me, I will." Qin Lang nodded and quickly went upstairs.

It wasn't until he closed the door that he put down the large and small bags he was carrying with relief, and his expression became vivid again.

He didn't know why his predecessor was so popular with the neighbors. On the way to buy food, he had already met many neighbors like Aunt Zhou who came up to say hello.

Even though he had the memory of his predecessor, Qin Lang was still worried about showing his flaws, so he could only deal with it hastily.

"After two days to get familiar with this place, let's get in touch with old acquaintances." Qin Lang muttered, then shook his hands that were scratched from carrying large and small bags all the way, picked up the things on the floor and quickly entered the kitchen.

As a chef, the predecessor is undoubtedly qualified.

Although the house is small, the kitchen is clean and spacious, and has all the commonly used kitchen utensils.

Qin Lang waited until the strangulation marks on his hands recovered, then put the ingredients in the bag and bought them from the market one by one on the counter.

Freshly killed old hens and ducks, pig's trotters, lean meat and ham, all the ingredients and the protagonist of boiled cabbage - cabbage.

After taking out an ingredient, Qin Lang's face twitched slightly, with pain in his flesh.

In the food world, the quality of ingredients has a great impact on price.

Ordinary ingredients are not expensive, but if you are pursuing quality, the price will be much higher.

This also resulted in the relatively rare ingredients in front of him costing Qin Lang more than a thousand dollars.

"It's okay. If you become the Yuling Chef, you will have other ways to make money." Qin Lang comforted himself, then picked up the kitchen knife and processed the ingredients smoothly.

He was originally poor and returned to poverty, but he has a good knife.

Blanch the ingredients and simmer the soup in a pressure cooker for an hour...

Qin Lang patted the lid of the pressure cooker and said, "Thank you technology."

Let it simmer slowly for six hours.

The day lilies are cold.

He found a book and read it to pass the time. About fifty minutes later, Qin Lang smelled a scent that even the pressure cooker couldn't suppress, lingering in the kitchen.

The aroma was filled with the delicacy of old hens and ducks, the slightly thicker aroma of hooves and the unique smoked flavor of ham, like a seductive fairy that penetrated Qin Lang's nose.

It’s hard to imagine how rich the aroma will be the moment the pressure cooker is opened.

As a chef, what Qin Lang likes most is this moment.

Smelling the aroma of food is like communicating with food for him.

He put down his book and took a few steps to the counter. While the soup was still a little warm, he started to process the fresh meat and cabbage.

The fresh meat is cut into minced meat and water is added to make a paste for later use. The cabbage is trimmed into buds with a knife, and then the pressure cooker is opened.

Taking a greedy sniff of the aroma that instantly filled the kitchen like an explosion, Qin Lang showed a look of enjoyment on his face.

This kind of soup is worth waiting for an hour.

Take out the ingredients and cool the soup in water, then pour in the fresh meat paste in batches to absorb the impurities in the soup, and then filter it twice, and the originally turbid soup will become crystal clear.

Boiling water is completed.

After that, put the cabbage and clear soup into the steamer and wait for half an hour.

"Ouch~"

Smelling the rich and pure aroma of the broth, Qin Lang, who was already extremely hungry, picked up the boiled and fished hooves and started to nibble on them.

The hooves, which had been simmered in a pressure cooker for a full hour, were extremely soft and tender. The meat on the bone and the white and tender skin on the outside would slide off when pinched. There was also a soft and translucent gelatin in the middle.

"Mix it with water and roll it in... tsk tsk tsk." Qin Lang said as he made a portion for himself.

Soon, the hoof, which was dipped in water and had a bright brown color, and was stained with bright red crushed chilies, and had a spicy taste besides being thick, entered his mouth.

After enjoying the meal and appeasing his greedy appetite, Qin Lang opened the steamer.

The cooking of boiled cabbage is over here.

But for this dish, there is one more step that is nothing less than the finishing touch.

Find a beautiful porcelain plate, stand the steamed cabbage in the center of the plate, pour the clear soup into the pot, and pour it down from the tip of the cabbage.

As the clear soup soaks in, the cabbage slowly opens, like a tightly closed bud blooming in the water, which is so beautiful.

Boiling water and cabbage, done!

"Come out! My food spirit!" Qin Lang had strong confidence on his face.

One second…

Five seconds…

Ten seconds…

Qin Lang was silent.

If you guessed correctly, you should have failed?

He, the first-level chef, failed to summon the food spirit?

After waiting for a while without giving up, Qin Lang sighed as he looked at the still delicate boiled cabbage on the table.

"Eat it yourself." He brought the porcelain plate in front of him, "There is still some staple food missing."

If I remember correctly, there were leftover rice and fresh eggs in the refrigerator.

The unexpected failure made him feel a little uninterested, so he just scrambled eggs and fried rice to cope with it.

Qin Lang took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and got busy again.

Add the egg yolks to the leftover rice and mix well. Add the egg whites and stir-fry until loose. Add the rice and stir-fry until the grains are distinct. Add the stir-fried egg whites and stir-fry.

His skillful movements made him a little distracted during the stir-fry process.

The master who led him to become a chef in his previous life taught him the first delicacy of egg fried rice.

Egg fried rice is very common, but it contains a test of fire. It is not uncommon for apprentices to practice with it.

The master has a bad temper. Every time he makes a mistake, he is scolded, but in fact he is very responsible. He is a typical talkative person.

Even though he later left that restaurant and became a first-class chef, Qin Lang still remembered the kindness of that master.

However, I am afraid that I will never see him again.

Qin Lang stir-fried the egg fried rice that was about to come out of the pot, as if he was trying to stir-fry the hesitation of his inexplicable time travel and the confusion of the failed birth of the food spirit into the pot.

He didn't notice that there was a very subtle light all over his body.

The light was brightest at the top of his forehead, and then spread throughout his body.

After the stir-frying was finished, Qin Lang quickly put the steaming egg fried rice in the pot on a plate.

The rich and mellow egg aroma has already overflowed the entire kitchen during the stir-frying process. Each grain of egg fried rice on the plate is covered with golden egg liquid. The grains are distinct and soft at the same time that is visible to the naked eye.

The next moment the dish was plated, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the egg fried rice on the plate.

The majestic suction force erupted from the egg fried rice, as if it was about to drain Qin Lang's energy away.

"Egg fried rice really shines?"

Qin Lang felt that his mind was blank and his body was getting weaker and weaker.

Finally, his vision went dark and he passed out.
