BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108 - 108: Nickname
As Qin Lang spoke, he poured the crab oil back into the pan for heating, and then added minced ginger to fry until it was fragrant.
Next, he added in the crab roe and crab paste.
As he stirred, the crab roe and crab paste blended into the crab oil, releasing their inner oils and emanating an astonishing aroma.
The crab roe and crab paste are rightly considered the most exquisite parts of a crab.
The scent that erupted from both ingredients immediately brimmed throughout the kitchen, causing the two already drooling creatures to continually swallow saliva while watching the pan with eagerness.
“You two little foodies.” Qin Lang laughed heartily and swiftly added crab meat and lard.
With the lard’s fragrance joining the mix, the originally fresh crab scent seemed to grow more abundant and robust.
The layered aroma was increasingly tantalising.
While stir-frying, he added cooking wine and vinegar to remove any fishy smell, then let it slowly simmer on low heat.
“Crack!”
My turn!
At this moment, Spicy was immensely grateful for its cooking acceleration food skill.
This meant that it could enjoy the delicious food much sooner!
Once Spicy had finished doing the acceleration, Qin Lang added salt, sugar, and white pepper into the pan for seasoning, before dishing it out.
A portion of crab roe was completed.
Looking at the exquisite crab roe dish that emanated a robust crab aroma, Qin Lang raised an eyebrow slightly, as for some reason he thought of the videos on the D Site he just watched, where a lot of Spirit Chefs showcased their cooked dishes in video format.
He suddenly had a thought.
Why not…
Give it a try?
Looking at the reactions from Dan Bao and Spicy earlier, it seemed like they didn’t mind being on camera, even quite enjoyed it.
Plus, being a city-level culinary Champion of Dongxia City, he already had a certain level of fame, which would make starting this project a bit easier.
Given the unique circumstances of this world, making cooking tutorial videos might not be appropriate.
However, if he just made vlogs to share delicious food like other Spirit Chefs, there wouldn’t be any problems.
If he gains popularity, it could serve as an additional income. Even if he didn’t gain as much popularity, he could use the D Site as a platform to share and record life snapshots.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Looking at the two little creatures eagerly tasting the crab roe, Qin Lang rubbed his chin.
Perhaps skip crab roe fried rice.
Maybe start with orange-flavored shrimp later?
“You two, wait a bit!”
He came back to his senses and stopped the two little creatures, who were set on finishing the crab roe, and spoke with amusement, “This is crab roe fried rice; the rice isn’t even served yet!”
Oh, that’s right!
Dan Bao and Spicy halted their ravaging, looking imploringly at Qin Lang as he moved towards the rice cooker, wishing he would speed up.
“Crab roe fried rice involves blending the prepared crab roe with rice.”
“Because eating crab roe alone can be a bit greasy, but adding rice is a great way to balance that.”
Qin Lang spoke while bringing out the rice from the rice cooker.
He poured a bowl full of crab roe directly on top of the rice. As Dan Bao and Spicy desperately swallowed their saliva, he started vigorously mixing to combine both evenly.
Then, the crab roe fried rice was divided into three bowls.
The crab oil and lard from the crab roe permeated every grain of rice, perfectly absorbed with no residue, and the crab meat, crab roe, and crab paste filled the gaps amid every grain of rice. Every mouthful was full of crab meat.
After scooping up a spoonful and taking it into his mouth, the taste of the crab’s freshness and strong aroma, as well as the delightful texture of the firm rice and strands of crab meat mingling during the chewing process, gave Qin Lang an utterly satisfied expression on his face.
Next to him, Dan Bao and Spicy had already finished a small bowl in silence.
No need for any side dishes. The crab roe fried rice was enough to keep them deeply engrossed in their meal.
Before long, a hearty bowl of crab roe fried rice was completely polished off by the three of them.
Feeling the return of fullness, all three showed satisfied expressions.
“I still need to cook orange-flavored shrimp later.” Qin Lang remembered the idea he just had and sat up, “But, before that, I have an idea 1 wanted to discuss with you two.”
“Huh?”
“Chomp?”
Seeing the two little creatures’ hopeful eyes at the mention of orange-flavored shrimp, and their curious expressions upon hearing Qin Lang’s words.
What idea?
“I plan on becoming an up-loader, like Jiang Bai I met today at noon, posting some prerecorded videos on the platform.”
Qin Lang began to share his thoughts.
“I see that Jiang Bai updates a video every two or three days.”
“We don’t have to update as frequently, we can do it sporadically and focus on sharing.”
“The content of the videos… our daily meals. What do you guys think?”
Make videos?
Dan Bao blinked.
It remembered the video it had watched earlier, the one it had been in.
It had already learned many characters and clearly saw that in the floating comments of the video, someone complimented it for being cute!
This made Dan Bao completely receptive to the idea of making videos.
“Gurgle!”
Great!
Dan Bao was the first to express its stance.
Spicy looked at Dan Bao, then turned his head to the side.
(-v“—)
“Cha ka cha ba ka!”
1 didn’t really want to be in the video, I just simply want to help the Spirit Chef!
Seeing the blushed light bubble above Spicy, Qin Lang and Dan Bao exchanged knowing smiles.
“Since neither of you object, let’s do it!”
“From now on, both of you will play the role of mukbang in the videos.” Seeing the puzzled faces of the two, Qin Lang explained, “that is, I’ll film you two eating delicious food.”
Both of them finally understood and simultaneously revealed an excited expression.
We can be in the video again!
“The first video will be the orange flavored shrimp that I’m making later.”
“But before that…” Qin Lang took out his phone, “we have to change our D Station nickname.”
Qin Lang’s current D Station account was registered earlier today under Jiang Bai’s guidance.
The current account nickname was a string of numbers randomly generated during the website registration.
Having such a D Station nickname as an up-loader was too hasty.
Fortunately, he had one chance to change the name for free.
“What should we change the name to…”
Looking at the name-changing interface on his phone, Qin Lang fell into thought.
Use his real name directly?
It’s feasible, but a nickname that’s the same as a real name would seem a bit awkward.
Owner of Dan Bao and Spicy?
It sounds interesting, but if other Food Spirits join later, he’d have to spend money to change the name.
Other nicknames flashed through Qin Lang’s mind, but he rejected them one by one.
Then…
It seemed as if a spark of lightning crossed Qin Lang’s mind.
He suddenly remembered why he had transmigrated from his past life.
He didn’t come to this world due to an accident or major emotional swings like the former host. His transmigration was quite abrupt. If there was anything unusual, it was probably that before he transmigrated, he touched a card of unknown origin.
That card was called…
[Traveler]
Qin Lang quietly typed these two characters in the nickname input box and clicked OK.
