Chapter 179 - 179: Commission
“Qingyang City…”
Luo Hui wanted to say something but couldn’t.
He had already given his travel guide to Qin Lang, so Qin Lang should know how difficult it is to take the Second-Level Food Recommender assessment in Qingyang City.
There’s a common saying passed between Spirit Chefs in Tianhua State, about how the only way to get a Second-Level Food Recommender Badge in Qingyang City is by winning it in a competition.
The unique Second-Level Food Recommender status holder had reportedly had the chance to become a Third-Level Food Recommender but chose to give it up as he did not want to be transferred to another state.
So, although his assessment was still at the second level, it was already close to the difficulty of the third level.
Thinking of this, Luo Hui couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
Little Qin’s courage was truly admirable.
“You can do it.” He gave an encouraging look and patted Qin Lang on the shoulder. “When are you leaving?”
“Probably the day after tomorrow.” Qin Lang thought for a moment before giving his answer.
It would be best to take a couple days of rest now.
Last night, he used 8 Cooking Competition Points to exchange for some good ingredients. He would spend the next couple of days indulging in good food at home with his two Food Spirits!
Also, he could get a few kilograms of beef from Mr. Fu Hang too.
When he thought about the weight of a whole cow, Qin Lang felt that consuming the cow from the Beef Tasting Banquet award was a daunting task.
“The day after tomorrow, huh…” Luo Hui stroked the stubble on his chin. “I have a friend in Qingyang City. Could you help me deliver something to him if it’s not too inconvenient?”
“Of course, no problem.” Qin Lang agreed without hesitation.
“Let me know before you leave, and 1’11 give you what needs to be delivered as well as his contact information.” Luo Hui laughed.
“My friend is a local in Qingyang City, and he’s been running a restaurant for a long time. He’ll be able to help you out since you’ll be a stranger in town.” “Thank you, Uncle Luo Hui,” Qin Lang gratefully nodded.
This trip to Qingyang City was a solo one, Zhao Chen and his companions wouldn’t be coming due to their own affairs.
Traveling alone, it’s certainly much more convenient to have acquaintances around.
After a while of chatting, Qin Lang said his goodbyes and left.
He spent the next couple of days relaxing at home.
Knowing that Qin Lang was headed to Qingyang City, Qi Xiaoyu, Du Weiwei, and Zhao Chen made another visit under the guise of “seeing him off”, but their actual motive was to get a meal before Qin Lang left.
This time, Qi Xiaoyu and Zhao Chen did not forget to bring gifts.
The five kilograms of beef that Qin Lang got from Mr. Fu Hang made Zhao Chen and his companions vow to come back for more next time.
Time flew by, and soon, the day of his departure arrived.
“The train’s not too crowded, that’s good.”
After boarding, Qin Lang looked around and sighed in relief.
He held onto two Food Spirits and then looked out the window.
After the train’s whistle blew, Qin Lang felt a force pushing him into his seat.
The view outside the window began to move in reverse, faster and faster.
Dan Bao and Spicy, who had taken a train before, did not react too much. They curiously watched the new scenery from Qin Lang’s arms.
Meanwhile, Qin Lang silently pulled back his gaze and turned on his phone.
Once he arrived in Qingyang City, he had two things to do.
The first was to complete Uncle Luo Hui’s request and deliver an item to his friend in Qingyang City.
The item was placed in a large box and was currently on the luggage rack. Out of politeness, Qin Lang didn’t open it, his job was just to deliver it.
The second task was to contact the fan who had asked for his help and get a better understanding of the situation.
After all, seeing is believing. He had to fully understand both sides’ circumstances before deciding whether to help with the requested dispute. Not surprisingly, when Qin Lang opened the D Site platform, he saw that the fan had replied, expressing his gratitude and leaving his contact information. His name was… Zhao Wenchang, huh?
Qin Lang dialed the number that Zhao Wenchang had left.
The call connected quickly.
“Hello, I’m ‘Traveler’.” Qin Lang looked around and lowered his voice out of embarrassment.
Using his D Site nickname out loud did feel a bit odd.
“Traveler!” A young voice came from the other end of the line, filled with excitement. “When will you be coming to Qingyang City?”
“Actually, I’m already on the train to Qingyang City,” Qin Lang replied calmly. “You’re already on your way?!” The voice of Zhao Wenchang had a hint of surprise. “When will you arrive, Traveler? I’ll come and pick you up!”
“Uh…” Considering that he might not be familiar with the roads when he arrives and could use a guide, Qin Lang didn’t refuse Zhao Wenchang’s kindness. “1’11 arrive at Qingyang City Station in two hours.”
“However, 1 haven’t agreed to represent your noodle restaurant yet. I need to learn more about the situation before 1 make a decision.” He added.
“No problem!” Zhao Wenchang’s voice came through the phone, full of determination. “I’m already so grateful that you’re coming to Qingyang City.” Actually, it’s just on the way…
Qin Lang murmured to himself, then quickly agreed on the details about how to recognize each other when they meet.
After he hung up the phone, Qin Lang thought for a moment and took out another note.
On it was the contact information of Uncle Luo Hui’s friend.
He planned to call him now and arrange a time to deliver the package.
So… Uncle Luo Hui’s friend is called Zhao Junzhang?
1 should probably call him Uncle Zhao.
Come to think of it, Zhao Wenchang is also a Zhao…
Could they be related?
As Qin Lang dialed the number, he laughed.
How could that be possible!
“Fantastic!”
After ending the call, Zhao Wenchang sprang up from his seat, his fists pumping with excitement and a look of joy on his face.
With Traveler taking action, they were sure to win this fight!
Although the opponent also invited a city-level cooking champion, Zhao Wenchang had carefully studied Qin Lang’s previous competition videos. As a Spirit Chef, he was convinced that Qin Lang’s culinary skills were stronger than their opponent’s!
Even though Qin Lang hadn’t decided whether to help their restaurant yet, Zhao Wenchang didn’t mind.
He would win over Qin Lang with actions and sincerity!
“I must tell dad the news first, if he’s willing to give a bonus as a token of appreciation, our chances of winning will be even greater.” Zhao Wenchang made up his mind, quickly left his room, and approached a middle-aged man.
“Dad! I’ve found help! I can help our restaurant!”
“How sure are you that your helper can win?” The man massaged his temples, looking doubtful. “1 called a friend from Dongxia City a few days ago, asking him to send over some special seasonings and ingredients.”
“With those, we might have a chance against Jihe.”
“Don’t worry about it, leave it to me.”
“Ding dong ding—”
The phone rang. The man picked up while waving at Zhao Wenchang, signaling him to go back to his room.
Zhao Wenchang fell silent, his excitement cooled down by the cold water.
