Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 182 Steps

"Grandpa, I have no other questions, thank you."

Smiling and waving to the passing old man, Qin Lang sat back down in his seat.

After understanding the objective situation from passers-by, he was able to determine that what Zhao Wenchang said before was true.

This time the competition was indeed between the aggressive restaurant called Liu Ji Noodle House, and the fact that the owner of Zhao Ji Noodle House was a friend of Uncle Luo Hui also made Qin Lang's position shift to Zhao Ji's side.

If he can, he doesn't mind helping the opponent and participating in this competition on behalf of Zhao Ji Noodle House.

While making this decision in his heart, Qin Lang saw Zhao Wenchang walking quickly towards this side as he walked out of the store.

But this time, there was a middle-aged man in front of Zhao Wenchang who had very similar facial features to him.

No introduction was needed, Qin Lang had already guessed the identity of the visitor.

Zhao Wenchang's father, Uncle Luo Hui's friend, Mr. Zhao Junzhang.

"You are little friend Qin Lang, right? Luo Hui mentioned you to me." Zhao Junzhang showed a warm smile, "Let's go inside and talk."

Behind him, Zhao Wenchang winked at Qin Lang and signaled that it was done.

Soon, the three of them walked into the store.

"I didn't expect that the Yuling Chef invited by Zhang Wen was you. Such a coincidence really surprises me." Zhao Junzhang handed a glass of water to Qin Lang and spoke nervously, "Those items that Luo Hui asked you to hand over , are you taking it with you?"

"It's all here." Qin Lang handed over the box he was holding.

"Thank you so much." Zhao Junzhang took it carefully and put it directly on the table and opened it, "Let me see..."

As the box opened, some bottles and cans appeared in front of the three of them.

It was also the first time for Qin Lang to see the contents of the box. He quickly recognized that these were seasonings and ingredients special to Dongxia City and other cities.

The only thing these seasoning ingredients have in common is that they are difficult to find in Qingyang City.

After taking inventory, Zhao Junzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

With these rare local seasonings and ingredients, he can cook a special kind of pasta that will hopefully be surprising.

Immediately afterwards, he thought that the other party was here not only to fulfill Luo Hui's commission to deliver seasonings and ingredients to him, but also to participate in the competition at his son's invitation.

To some extent, these two purposes are in conflict.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junzhang got a headache again.

"I heard from Wen Chang that you are also good at making pasta?" Although his thoughts were constantly racing in his mind, Zhao Junzhang kept his expression and spoke as if he were talking about family matters.

"I should be relatively familiar with it." Qin Lang said modestly.

"That's not an ordinary skill." Zhao Wenchang muttered on the side, "Qin Lang is the cooking champion of Dongxia City!"

Dongxia City cooking champion?

Zhao Junzhang was slightly shocked.

He didn't pay attention to what Zhao Wenchang said before, and Zhao Wenchang hadn't had time to reveal Qin Lang's identity.

Although he asked Luo Hui in Dongxia City to help collect seasonings and ingredients, he did not tell him about his plight. Therefore, when Luo Hui mentioned Qin Lang, he did not deliberately mention Qin Lang's glory, only saying This is a trustworthy junior.

Knowing that the young man in front of him was also a municipal cooking champion, Zhao Junzhang's mentality quickly changed.

Maybe, let him try?

But thinking that this competition was related to the noodle restaurant that his family had run for many years, he felt a little more hesitant.

Can the municipal cooking champion of Dongxia City defeat Ji He in pasta?

He was not very familiar with Qin Lang and was not sure about this.

Seeing Zhao Junzhang's worries, Qin Lang took the initiative and said, "Uncle Zhao, I heard Zhao Wenchang say that you need these seasonings and ingredients to make a special kind of pasta?"

"Yes." Zhao Junzhang nodded, "That is a special kind of pasta that my father developed after traveling around Tianhua Prefecture. Due to the limitations of ingredients and seasonings, it has never been sold publicly in our Zhaoji Noodle Restaurant. This kind of pasta.”

"That is to say, Liu Ji Noodle House does not know its existence."

A surprise victory...

Qin Lang understood what the other party was thinking, "I don't know if I have the honor to taste this special pasta."

"I heard from Uncle Luo Hui that you are very good at pasta, so I also hope that you can try the pasta I cook and give you some suggestions."

Tasting each other’s pasta?

Zhao Junzhang instantly understood the hidden meaning in Qin Lang's words.

This is a food fight, but not a regular food fight.

Through such a comparison, one can naturally judge which one is better, Qin Lang's pasta or the one he is planning to make.

If Qin Lang could really cook better noodles than him, he would naturally give up his plan and instead invite Qin Lang to participate in the competition on behalf of Zhao Ji.

Understanding that the other party's refusal to directly tell him was to give him a step down, Zhao Junzhang suddenly felt good about the young man in front of him.

"Of course it's no problem!" He laughed, "It's lunch time, shall we start now?"

"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry." Qin Lang had no objection.

"Come on, come on, little friend Qin Lang, please come here." Zhao Junzhang walked in front and took Qin Lang to the kitchen of the noodle restaurant. "There are several independent kitchens here. You can cook without interference."

Now, it was Zhao Wenchang's turn, who had never said a word, to be confused.

What's going on?

…

Half an hour later, Zhao Junzhang quickly walked out of the kitchen with two portions of food in his hands.

"Isn't Qin Lang finished yet?" He looked at the closed independent kitchen on the other side, showing a look of thinking and expectation.

If possible, he actually hoped that Qin Lang's pasta would surpass his own.

Because he knew very well that the pasta he prepared was unique, but in terms of taste alone, there was still a gap between it and Ji He.

This means that he has a low probability of victory and is just taking a chance.

"Dad, is this the secret weapon left by grandpa?" Zhao Wenchang came up quickly, smelling the rich and unique fragrance in the air, and couldn't help but show curiosity.

He has never eaten this pasta before.

"That's right." Zhao Junzhang nodded slightly, "This noodle dish is called Tianhua Cake. It is a special noodle dish that was born after your grandfather traveled all over Tianhua Prefecture and combined special seasonings and ingredients from various places."

“Not only does it have a unique cooking method, it also has an amazing taste.”

"I really want to try it." Zhao Wenchang couldn't help but mutter.

No wonder my father saw it as his trump card.

Now it’s time to look at the pasta prepared by Qin Lang.

With a bit of longing, he looked towards the kitchen on the other side where Qin Lang was.

Will it be the big meat bun in the video?

Or other pasta?

Under the gazes of Zhao Wenchang and Zhao Junzhang, Qin Lang quickly walked out of the kitchen.

At the same time as he appeared, portions of food in large bowls arrived with an astonishingly rich aroma.

They were controlled by Dan Bao's thoughts and landed smoothly on the dining table.

"You-splashed noodles, please have a taste."
