Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 282 Entering the Forest

"I support Boss Xiao Qin!"

“Snail noodles are the best!”

"I also vote for Boss Xiao Qin!"

"I won't say anything anymore, it must be Boss Xiao Qin!"

"Although this vote is meaningless, I vote for Boss Xiao Qin!"

As the five young people announced their choices after tasting the two delicacies, the competition between Qin Lang and Shen Qian once again ended with Qin Lang winning.

Regarding this result, Shen Qian was not too surprised after tasting the snail noodles, but she had a better understanding of Qin Lang's sea of ​​recipes.

This pervert has mastered even such unorthodox delicacies!

"It's so strange. When I first smelled the smell of snail noodles, I found it completely unacceptable. But after eating it, I found the smell to be fragrant. Why is that?"

A girl named Kong Rao in the five-person group smelled the scent of snail noodles remaining in the air around her, with a confused look on her face, "Will the scent of snail noodles still change?"

"No, the taste of snail noodles remains unchanged." Qin Lang smiled.

He thought of a certain saying from his past life that could just explain the current situation.

"When you have never eaten snail noodles, the smell you smell is the real taste of snail noodles, but after eating snail noodles, the smell you smell is not real."

"Untrue? How to say it?" Shen Qian became interested.

"After you eat snail noodles, your brain will associate the memory of the smell of the snail noodles with the memory of the umami and texture you felt when you tasted it, and integrate it into the concept of 'snail noodles'." Qin Lang smiled mysteriously .

"In this way, any kind of memory point related to it is triggered, and it will be related to other memory points."

"Even if you don't taste it, if you just smell the smell of snail noodles, it will automatically fill in information about the taste and texture of the snail noodles, making it more three-dimensional."

"So when you smell the smell of snail noodles after eating snail noodles, you will feel that the smell has changed and become more fragrant."

"What actually changes is not the smell, but the fact that you think of the deliciousness of snail noodles after smelling it, which offsets your resistance to the smell."

"So that's it!" Shen Qian suddenly realized, "The first time I ate the strange meatballs, I also felt that the smell was unacceptable. But after eating it once, I no longer felt this way. It turns out that my brain deceived me."

The other five people also showed thoughtful expressions, obviously understanding something because of Qin Lang's words.

"But actually..." Looking at the six people who suddenly realized, Qin Lang changed his tone and said, "What I just said can be said in reverse. The smell you smelled at first was fake, but the smell you smell now is real."

Shen Qian: "???"

Group of Five: "???"

Even the two little ones who were eavesdropping on the side were surprised when they heard Qin Lang's sudden turn of events.

"A kind of delicious food will stimulate the taster's senses from three aspects: sight, smell and taste. If you distinguish the texture from the taste, then the touch is also added."

Qin Lang paused, "I think this is the dimension of food. Only by peeking from different aspects can we see the whole picture of a food."

“Gastronomy is incomplete if you only understand it from one aspect.”

"So you can associate the texture, taste and appearance of snail noodles from the smell, and what you smell is the real taste of snail noodles?" Sun Yan continued.

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded slightly, then showed a hint of embarrassment, "This is just my personal opinion, and it may be biased..."

"No! I think this idea is very good!" Shen Qian interrupted him, his eyes bright, as if there was light contained in them, "There are many delicacies that are not taken seriously due to shortcomings in some aspects, but as long as you try it once, you will be satisfied. You will find them unique.”

"It's like snail noodles that smell bad and taste delicious!" Lan Le nodded in agreement. Shen Qian's words couldn't be more agreeable to him who likes to hunt for novelties.

"Ahem, having said that, don't try everything. After all, you are not a divine farmer." Qin Lang coughed lightly and felt that it was necessary to remind him.

"What is Shennong?"

"This is not important."

…

After lunch, the five-person group had a friendly exchange with Qin Lang and Shen Qian.

We are all Yu Ling Chefs and food lovers, and we couldn't stop talking about food for three days and three nights.

It wasn't until night fell and everyone had a hot pot cooked by Qin Lang that the five-person group left awkwardly.

"Thank you, Boss Xiao Qin, for your hospitality." The faces of the five-person group headed by Sun Yan were filled with joy.

They met their idols on the boat and not only tasted each other's cooking skills, but also learned a lot from the exchange. Such an opportunity was really rare for them.

Moreover, Qin Lang, an excellent Yuling chef, was so approachable in private, which surprised them.

"Whether it's the snail noodles at noon or the hot pot at night, they are both delicacies that I have never tasted before!" Kong Rao seemed quite excited, "It's simply great!"

"I still stick to my original idea. If the bottom of the hot pot is snail noodles, then this thing is really cool!" Lan Le said.

He came up with the idea of ​​combining the two during dinner. Although others thought it was an evil way, he still insisted on it.

"Well..." Qin Lang touched his chin.

He had actually experienced snail noodle hot pot in his previous life, but it was indeed a bit anti-human, so it was better not to bring it out.

"Okay, okay, we should go!" Sun Yan coughed lightly and grabbed Lan Le before other friends could complain. Then he waved to Qin Lang and Shen Qian, "If Boss Xiao Qin and Shen Qian When Miss comes to Xiyun City, please let me fulfill my duties as a landlord."

"Okay." Neither of them refused the other's kindness.

After the five-person group left, Shen Qian crossed his arms and looked thoughtful, "Qin Lang, I feel..."

"What?"

“Maybe it’s really good to combine snail noodles with hot pot?”

"No need to talk!"

…

Early the next morning, the "Liuyun" cruise ship faced the morning light and slowly approached a primitive and crude pier on the riverside from the center of the Beiqiu River.

It is simple because this pier is different from other places. Whether it is the boarding port or other places, most of them are made of wood.

It is primitive because outside this pier, there is no trace of human construction as far as the eye can see.

It's lush and full of trees.

"This is Ranchiu Forest."

Qin Lang and Shen Qian left the dock side by side with their travel bags on their backs. They looked at the virgin forest in front of them, feeling the fresh earthy smell that hit their faces, and both looked expectantly.

"Although this place is not far from Yuehu City, this is my first time here." Shen Qian looked around with a smile on her face, "I traveled alone before and didn't dare to come."

"Don't worry, I have experience in surviving in the wild." Qin Lang was quite confident.

"Will it be too late to check the luggage into Rancho City?"

"Don't worry, if nothing else happens, it will arrive faster than us."
