Translator: 549690339

“Starlight Restaurant, here it is.”

An old man with a hunched figure stopped on the street, looked up at the signboard of Starlight Restaurant, and walked in.

It was dinner time, and there were quite a few diners in the restaurant.

But seeing this old man, Luo Hui’s expression was serious. He stopped his work immediately and walked up to him.

“Mr. Zhou Qing, welcome.”

“I’ve heard there is a dish called Steamed Bass in your restaurant?” the old man asked calmly, “I’d like to reserve it. I want to try it tomorrow noon.”

“Alright, no problem.” Luo Hui quickly nodded, watching the old man leave the restaurant.

This old man was a Food Recommender in Dongxia City.

Food Recommenders, are certified food appraisers by the Spirit Chef Association. The delicious food that gets their approval has the opportunity to become famous quickly through the promotion of the Spirit Chef Association.

If Mr. Zhou Qing approves the Steamed Bass, it will certainly be a significant advantage for Starlight Restaurant, which has just opened recently.

Luo Hui’s feelings were complex.

The old man had evidently known about the dish Steamed Bass, so he specifically came to try it.

The only person who could have informed him about this dish must have been Li Hong who was present during the food taste testing.

This guy…

Luo Hui couldn’t help but smile, he returned to the restaurant and continued his work.

…

After enjoying a wonderful dinner, Qin Lang washed his bowl and chopsticks, then sat on the couch reading a book with Dan Bao in his arms.

There were still many things about the Food Spirit World he needed to understand. Learning is an endless process.

As long as Dan Bao could stay by his side, it was enough for him to be happy.

The peaceful moment between the man and the spirit was soon interrupted by the ringing of a phone.

Looking at the caller ID, Qin Lang quickly sat up, and Dan Bao obediently moved to the side of the phone.

“Uncle Luo Hui, it’s me.”

From the other end of the phone, Luo Hui’s hearty laughter came quickly, “Little Qin, reserve six servings of Steamed Bass for tomorrow. Four for lunch and two for dinner.”

“Since it’s the first day, diners are all trying it out. I believe that from tomorrow onward, it’ll be easy to book all ten portions a day.”

Six on the first day?

Qin Lang was slightly surprised.

Based on earning nine hundred per dish, that equated to five thousand four hundred.

Not only had he earned back the money he spent on groceries today, but he had also made a good profit.

A smile spread across his face, “Alright Uncle Luo Hui, I will definitely be there on time tomorrow.”

After saying a few more words on the phone, Luo Hui hung up.

Putting down his phone, Qin Lang rubbed his face.

A lot had happened today.

Crossing over to this strange world, birthing his first Food Spirit, experiencing his first Spirit Battle, successfully applying for the Hanging Position Chef at Starlight Restaurant…

Each and every experience was something he had never had before.

He began to wonder if all this wasn’t just an overly realistic dream.

“Gulu!”

Noticing Qin Lang’s preoccupation, Dan Bao burrowed out from his embrace and rubbed against Qin Lang’s cheek.

Feeling the impossibly real sensation, Qin Lang gave a self-deprecating laugh.

How could a dream be this real?

“It’s late. Let’s go to sleep in the room.” He whispered, then suddenly remembered something.

Food Spirits could enter the Star Veins of the Spirit Chef and be re-summoned at any time.

But since he formed a contract with Dan Bao, he had never once tried it.

“Dan Bao, let’s try it. You enter my Star Vein.” Qin Lang touched his Tian Shu Star Vein on his forehead, activated the spiritual power in his Star Vein as per his memory, and connected with Dan Bao in front of him.

Accompanied by a faint light, Dan Bao’s figure disappeared in the living room.

Meanwhile, Qin Lang felt something extra inside his Tian Shu Star Vein.

“Dugudu!”

Dan Bao’s voice sounded directly in his mind, expressing comfort. It seems that it enjoyed the feeling of being in the Star Vein.

“If that’s the case, rest in the Star Vein tonight,” said Qin Lang, seizing the opportunity.

However, to his surprise, Dan Bao disagreed upon hearing what Qin Lang had conveyed via telepathy.

“Gududu!”

“You want to come out?” Qin Lang was somewhat taken aback, but still complied with Dan Bao’s wishes, summoning it out from the Star Vein.

The Seven Star Map flashed briefly in the void before vanishing – Dan Bao had reappeared in the living room.

It hurried into Qin Lang’s arms, curled up comfortably, a glance of satisfaction on its face.

“You want to sleep with me?” Qin Lang asked with intrigue.

Generally, the Star Vein, being the birthplace of Food Spirits, was supposedly their most secure dwelling.

However, Dan Bao appeared to be somewhat different.

Anyway, it wasn’t a big deal.

After washing up briefly, Qin Lang ushered Dan Bao into his bedroom and went to sleep.

Just when Dan Bao, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened them with a jolt.

“Gududulu Gududu!”

“Don’t worry. The leftover rice has been put in the fridge. We’ll have egg fried rice in the morning.”

Only then did Dan Bao close its eyes, lying down peacefully to sleep.

…

Early next morning, a fully energetic Dan Bao squirmed from Qin Lang’s arms and started spinning excitedly in midair.

It was time to eat some egg fried rice!

“Let’s get started.”

After washing up briefly, Qin Lang walked into the kitchen with Dan Bao in tow.

As soon as he got out the leftover rice and chicken eggs, Dan Bao hurried right up.

“Gududu!”

This was its Origin Cuisine. So, it was essential for it to engage in the process!

“Please freshen up these two eggs for me then,” Qin Lang said smilingly as he placed the eggs before Dan Bao.

If Dan Bao volunteered, he wouldn’t want to disappoint the little fellow.

After Dan Bao had put in considerable effort, Qin Lang picked up an egg and skillfully tapped it against the brim of a bowl, separating it into the yolk and egg white, then mixed the rice and the yolk evenly.

All through the process, Dan Bao watched with great interest.

Perhaps it was because the Origin Cuisine held a special significance for it.

Rice, after being mixed, is covered evenly with egg mixture. While in hot oil, the egg mixture quickly forms a golden film on the surface of the rice. With each stir, every single grain was clear, like shards of gold dancing in the pan.

“Dulu!”

Dan Bao’s eyes lit up keenly.

It was almost time to eat!

“There’s one last step,” Qin Lang chuckled, pouring the previously sieved egg whites back into the pan for a final round of stir-frying with the rice.

Watching this scene, Dan Bao cocked its head, puzzled.

Why were the egg whites sieved first and poured back in afterward?

“Gududu?”

“To make the egg whites more tender,” Qin Lang patiently explained while serving the egg fried rice, “An extended heating time tends to spoil the taste of egg whites. So, sieving half-way helps reduce their heating time.”

“Try it.” Qin Lang put a serving of egg fried rice before Dan Bao and watched it with anticipation.

The sight of the egg fried rice from its memories had Dan Bao screeching in joy before it pounced on it.

Meanwhile, Qin Lang picked up another serving, put a spoonful in his mouth, and after a brief savour, nodded in satisfaction.

The taste remained the same as before.
