BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106 - 106: Shrimp Slide
“In a shot?” Qin Lang glanced at the camera in Jiang Bai’s hand, “What do you mean?11
“Well, I’m an up-owner on D Site…” Jiang Bai briefly introduced herself, then said with a grin, “I’m thinking to include the scene of our encounter in my next video!”
“An up-owner…” Under Jiang Bai’s guidance, Qin Lang opened D Sire and gazed at rhe familiar-looking webpage, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Such a platform actually exists in this world.
It’s quite interesting.
“Grumbling-”
As Dan Bao used its thought waves to separate a skewer of grilled shrimp from the skewer and send them into its mouth, it nudged Qin Lang with its tail, its face filled with anticipation.
Can 1 appear in the video as well?
That sounds like fun!
“Crackling!”
Spicy nodded in agreement.
“That’s fine.” Seeing the enthusiasm of rhe two Food Spirits, Qin Lang readily agreed.
It’s just a cameo, nothing big.
“Yay!”
Jiang Bai cheered and lifted her camera to start shooting.
Ignoring Jiang Bai, Qin Lang and the two Food Spirits finished the remaining grilled shrimps before he took out a small box.
This was the last delicacy they had prepared for the picnic.
After replacing the grill with a baking tray featuring many semi-spherical hollows, similar to octopus ball baking trays from his previous life, Qin Lang signaled for Dan Bao to start preheating the tray with its flame as he opened the box to reveal the food inside.
With Qin Lang’s permission, Jiang Bai moved her camera closer.
The box contained something that looked like a translucent paste.
Upon close examination, one could see that within the paste were many bits that looked like shrimp meat.
“Is this made from shrimp meat?” Jiang Bai couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
“This is called shrimp slide, made by mincing shrimp meat and mixing it with other seasonings.” Qin Lang briefly explained as he brushed the baiting tray with oil, then used a small spoon to scoop out the shrimp paste and fill it into the semi-spherical hollows on the tray.
Jiang Bai didn’t ask any more questions and lifted her camera to focus on the baiting tray.
Under the watch of the camera, the shrimp slide in the tray rapidly turned from light grey to pink, emanating a unique aroma.
“It seems that seasoning rhe shrimp in this way makes it even more fragrant than simply grilling it.” Jiang Bai muttered under her breath, nodding in approval.
She was curious about the taste of the shrimp slide but felt shy about asking.
“Have a taste.” Qin Lang filled a small dish with two of them and passed it to her, along with a small fork and a dipping dish, “This is pomelo vinegar, it goes really well with shrimp slide.”
“Thank you!” Jiang Bai looked gratefully at Qin Lang, deciding to give Qin Lang a few more shots in today’s video.
She speared the bouncy-looking shrimp slide with the small fork and dipped it lightly into the pomelo vinegar as suggested by Qin Lang. After lightly blowing on it she put it into her mouth.
The next moment, her eyes lit up again.
This is delicious!
On the other hand, Qin Lang and the two little ones also began to enjoy the delicious fried shrimp slide.
The Black Tiger Shrimps made into shrimp slide perfectly retained the toughness of the shrimp meat, while the salt and pepper added during the preparation process gave the shrimp slide its own flavor, without needing too much additional seasoning.
Dipped in the mildly sour and refreshing pomelo vinegar, it was indeed a rare delicacy.
Qin Lang, after finishing one, nodded in satisfaction.
So wonderful –
This fulfilling picnic was extremely satisfying to both Dan Bao, who had experienced it once already, and Spicy, who was trying it for the first time.
After shooting all the material she wanted, Jiang Bai didn’t disturb the two spirits any longer. After exchanging contact information with Qin Lang, she joyfully fled the scene.
After cleaning up the trash left by the picnic, Qin Lang leaned lazily against the trunk of a willow tree, allowing the shadows of the leaves to flicker over him as he watched the two little ones frolicking nearby.
“Oranges for sale- Big and sweet oranges-”
The familiar cry caught the dozing Qin Lang’s attention.
He looked at the old farmer approaching with a pole over his shoulder, a smile on his face.
The oranges looked as good quality as the last time, so he could buy some more.
“Old man, 1’11 buy some more oranges!”
Qin Lang stood up and swiftly walked towards the old man.
A fruit farmer who worked all day wouldn’t have leisure to pay attention to a cooking contest.
But he recognized the young man who had taken care of his business not long ago, showing a kindly smile, “Young man, how many do you want this time?”
Qin Lang glanced at the remaining about twenty pounds of oranges on the shoulder pole, and spoke without hesitation, “I ll take them all.”
With Dan Bao’s Fresh Full, there’s no need to worry about them going bad.
With Dan Bao’s Thought Waves, there’s no need to worry about not being able to carry them.
The MVP of the day, Dan Bao.
“All of them?” The old man s smile brightened, “Ok, then 1’11 give you a discount, a total of eighty yuan will do.”
“Okay.”
After paying, he took the big bag of oranges handed over by the old man, and Qin Lang turned his head to look at the approaching Dan Bao and Spicy, “It’s getting late, should we go home?”
“Purr!”
We’re home!
Dan Bao gently put the twenty pounds of oranges controlled by Thought Waves on the ground, a delighted look was on his face.
H helped the Spirit Chef once again, and also honed its Combat Skill.
It was like killing two birds with one stone, it made a big profit!
Spicy, who was standing by, glanced at Dan Bao, a hint of envy flickered in his eyes.
Whether it was grilling meat, processing ingredients, or moving stuff today, it didn’t seem to have done much. But Dan Bao was always able to lend a hand to Qin Lang.
This made him kind of nervous.
Would Qin Lang think that he was useless?
After closing the door, Qin Lang put down the backpack filled with various picnic items, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
There were still a few hours before dinner time.
He could spend this time on something else.
For instance, studying those ten unfamiliar types of fungi.
“Spicy, there’s going to be quite a bit of use for Cooking Acceleration next. I hope you don’t mind helping.”
In order to try out several cooking methods before dinner time, using Cooking Acceleration was necessary.
“Chacka?”
Spicy’s head shot up, his eyes wide and bright.
So he was actually useful!
He followed Qin Lang with a cheer into the kitchen.
“Purr!”
I want to go too!
Dan Bao eagerly followed.
The fungi needed to be kept fresh too!
The man and two food spirits in the kitchen soon busied themselves.
With every passing minute and second, Spicy, through constantly using Cooking Acceleration during this process, felt an even stronger sense of belonging to Qin Lang.
For Spicy, who had just been born yesterday, everything seemed somewhat urgent.
Fortunately, the kindness of Qin Lang and Dan Bao made him feel more at home.
By the time dinner rolled around, Spicy’s relationship with Qin Lang had noticeably warmed.
“Thanks for your hard work!”
Looking at the two Food Spirits who had accompanied him in trying out new fungi, Qin Lang smiled.
After trying various methods of cooking, he now had a comprehensive understanding of these fungi.
In the future, he might add these fungi to his recipes, to improve and optimise his dishes.
This was quite a significant gain.
