BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91 - 91: Revival
“Kchk…”
Inside Qin Lang’s kitchen, the voice of the Second Food Spirit sounded somewhat feeble.
It weakly landed on the table, its outline appearing slightly blurred.
It was obvious that its condition was very poor at this moment.
Dan Bao looked at the Second Food Spirit and then at Qin Lang, appearing at a loss.
The two Food Spirits had initially been chatting, but not long after, the Second Food Spirit began to show signs of weakness.
This condition gradually worsened until it reached the current state.
Dan Bao did not know the cause of this condition, and Qin Lang had not yet awakened.
Just as it was becoming anxious, Dan Bao caught a glimpse of Qin Lang’s finger moving.
“Grumble!”
Hang in there, Qin Lang is waking up!
It nudged the Second Food Spirit, quickly flying towards Qin Lang and gently flapping its tail against Qin Lang’s face.
After a few moments, Qin Lang slowly came to his senses.
“Grumble grumble-”
Without waiting for Qin Lang to understand what was happening, Dan Bao urgently told him everything that had happened.
Upon hearing this, Qin Lang instantly shook himself awake.
He quickly opened the kitchen cabinet car and served portions of
Twice-Cooked Pork.
“Quick! Eat all of these!”
“Tasting Section is over!”
Outside the kitchen, the dishes belonging to Lei Ke have been tasted by all eleven Food Recommenders in the Judges’ seats.
After tasting, a satisfied look appeared on all of their faces.
The Host’s gaze turned towards Qin Lang’s kitchen and he spoke loudly.
“There are still fifteen minutes left in the contest. The alert bells should have already gone off in Qin Lang’s Competitive Standard Kitchen. Let’s all wait for Qin Lang to finish his dishes!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the audience, who had just been amazed by Lei Ke’s dishes, turned their attention to the other Competitive Standard Kitchen.
“Isn’t Lei Ke’s Citrus Embrace amazing?” murmured Qi Xiaoyu anxiously from the VIP spectator seats. “Oh, no…I’ve got a terrible feeling.”
“Shut up!” Du Weiwei was fed up with her loudly chattering friend. She pinched Xiaoyu’s waist and snapped, “Just watch the competition quietly!”
Ignoring Xiaoyu’s protest, she turned her gaze to the kitchen where Qin Lang was preparing his dishes.
Lei Ke’s recent dish had delivered quite a shock to her.
When the intact orange peel was removed, it was actually a replica orange made from various ingredients.
It was like magic.
Without Lei Ke revealing it, no one could’ve discerned any issue with the orange.
As for its taste, the facial expressions of the eleven Food Recommenders spoke volumes.
So…
What on earth is Qin Lang doing?
“Grumble…”
I was wrong…
Looking at the Second Food Spirit, which had quickly recovered after finishing all the Twice-Cooked Pork, Dan Bao instantly understood the reason for its weakness.
Turns out it was just starving…
It never crossed his mind, considering that Dan Bao itself had been very hungry before but was never as weak due to it.
“For a newly born Food Spirit, eating a portion of Origin Cuisine is a very important ritual,” Qin Lang gently stroked Dan Bao’s big ears, and looking at the Second Food Spirit who had already recovered, he quietly spoke, “If it doesn’t eat for a long time, there’s even a risk of the Food Spirit dissipating.”
This was something that Qin Lang had come to understand after he became a Spirit Chef.
Hearing Qin Lang’s words, Dan Bao felt even more guilty.
It had stopped their new comrade from eating the Twice-Cooked Pork, almost harming it.
“It wasn’t intentional,” Qin Lang sighed with a helpless smile, then looked at the Second Food Spirit flying towards him, “Would you forgive Dan Bao?”
After eating all the Twice-Cooked Pork and having a full meal, the Second Food Spirit regained its energy.
It glanced at the guilt-ridden Dan Bao, then quickly turned its head to look in another direction.
“Chkm chkm-”
“I’ll let you off the hook this time!”
Dan Bao breathed a sigh of relief, his face still showing a guilty expression.
I’ve decided! From now on, I’ll take better care of our new partner and let it have all the delicious food!
Qin Lang couldn’t help but cast his gaze on the head of the second Food Spirit.
After those words were spoken, the bubble light on the second Food Spirit’s head suddenly turned from light green to light red, slowly recovering back to light green only after a few breaths.
This piqued his interest.
Compared to Dan Bao’s unique appearance, the look of his second Food Spirit was more conventional.
Except for the bubble light on top of its head.
And this bubble light could actually change colors.
But now wasn’t the time for research.
“Welcome to the team,” Qin Lang carefully reached out to touch the second Food Spirit, only patting its head after making sure it wasn’t resisting.
Unlike Dan Bao, the second Food Spirit’s body was covered in soft fur, and its round tail was as fluffy as a lump of cotton, but its long ears were smooth, shiny like chili peppers on the surface.
Given its Origin Cuisine, Qin Lang stared at its green and red ears and mused.
Green Garlic and Capsicum frutescens?
“Shall I give you a name?” Qin Lang suddenly asked.
“Cha-ka!” The second Food Spirit’s eyes lit up.
It really envied that Dan Bao had its own name.
It also wanted one.
“Hmm…” Qin Lang looked at the second Food Spirit.
Its two ears looked like chili peppers, and the glowing part inside the bubble light on its head also resembled a small chili pepper.
This little guy looked spicy.
“Let’s call you Spicy then!”
Qin Lang made the decision.
Those who struggle with naming follow such simple and plain principles.
But judging by Spicy’s reaction, it really liked it.
“Cha-ba!” Spicy nodded heavily, its two little fangs gleaming under the lights.
After naming Spicy, Qin Lang was about to ask about its Food Skill and Combat Skill when an electronic bell rang out suddenly.
“Ding dong-”
“There are only fifteen minutes left in the competition. Contestants, please be mindful of the time.”
Upon hearing this, Dan Bao quickly widened its eyes.
Bad news!
The competition is almost over!
And the dish Qin Lang had prepared…
Even Spicy, who had already learned about the situation from Dan Bao, couldn’t help showing a worried expression.
Baked pork was eaten by itself, how about the competition of Spirit Chef…
“Don’t worry.” Qin Lang grinned.
When he woke up, there were only twenty minutes left of the competition.
That wasn’t even enough time to boil pork, let alone recreate baked pork.
So, when he hesitated and gave the baked pork to Spicy, he was already prepared to give up on the competition.
But he didn’t regret it too much.
Because he has a new partner now.
And that’s more important than winning the city-level cooking competition.
“If we lose, we lose. We can grab the championship in three months!”
Qin Lang comforted the two slightly disheartened Food Spirits, then took no more notice of the competition and turned his curious gaze to Spicy. “What’s your Food Skill?”
Spicy tapped into its hidden power.
“Cha-cha-ba-ka!”
