BXBX NOVEL Chapter 263: Hot Discussion
“Improvements to the Crabmeat Fried Rice?!”
Upon hearing Qin Lang’s explanation, Yan Chao and Ma Pai both gasped in surprise, as did the other food guests in the front of the line, their faces revealing expressions of astonishment.
“Yes.” Qin Lang nodded, “After interactions with other Spirit Chefs and guidance from Ms. Ye Cangqing, I had some new thoughts regarding the Crabmeat Fried Rice.”
“On the original basis, I made some adjustments to the ingredients of the Crabmeat Fried Rice, adding a bit of spicy flavor to the taste.”
Qin Lang laughed a bit embarrassedly, “This is quite a bold experiment, so I hope that everyone can give me your feedback after tasting, allowing me to improve.”
Adding spicy flavor into the Crabmeat Fried Rice, if it had been in his former world, would definitely have been attacked and resisted by some traditionalists.
So, as Qin Lang said, this was indeed a bold attempt.
But in the eyes of other food guests, it was not quite the same.
They could only marvel at the young and handsome Spirit Chef, who was also so modest, despite his great culinary skills.
“Boss Qin, you’re too modest.”, even though I haven’t tasted the previous version, I believe this improvement is a success!”
Ma Pai confidently spoke, then looked toward Yan Chao, who was arguing with him just now, “Sorry, I was unaware that Boss Qin had improved the Crabmeat Fried Rice.”
“No need to apologize, no need to apologize.” Yan Chao jovially replied, “Who could have guessed that Boss Qin would improve his dish?”
“I didn’t expect that I would discover such a surprise on my return tonight.” He looked at Qin Lang with a hint of anticipation, “Boss Qin, I will definitely give you my feedback, so can I get a serving of the Crabmeat Fried Rice?”
“Yes, yes, I also want to try it!”
“Give me one too!”
The other customers around chimed in.
“Of course, no problem.” Qin Lang signaled Dan Bao with a glance.
Understanding, Dan Bao began to serve the food with Thought Waves, just like in the afternoon.
Soon, Yan Chao received his completely new Crabmeat Fried Rice.
“Bro, tell us what’s different compared to the original version.” Ma Pai, who hadn’t left yet, encouraged him to speak with a grin.
Even though the new Crabmeat Fried Rice is better, not being able to taste the original version still left him with a touch of regret.
This regret turned into a profound curiosity, which could be fulfilled with the words of the customer in front of him, who claimed to have tasted the Crabmeat Fried Rice multiple times.
The other customers felt the same.
Being able to be the first in line to taste Qin Lang’s food meant they either loved Crabmeat Fried Rice or were very curious about it.
Like Ma Pai, they too hadn’t tasted the original version.
“Let me see.” With so many people watching, Yan Chao’s movements slowed down a bit.
First, he carefully examined the appearance of the Spicy Crabmeat Fried Rice and then nodded slightly, “On the outside, there’s almost no difference from the original Crabmeat Fried Rice.”
“But in terms of flavor.” Yan Chao sniffed a bit closer, “There truly is a hint of spicy scent that wasn’t there before.”
After comparing the appearance and smell, he, holding back his eagerness, finally took a big bite of the Crabmeat Fried Rice.
“Wow~”
Just like Ma Pai, Yan Chao finished the serving of Crabmeat Fried Rice in one bite.
However, he chewed slowly, his face showing a mix of entrancement, contemplation and surprise.
This flavor…
Once it entered the mouth, the spicy flavor that exploded was far clearer than the one he’d smelled before. Yet it did not overshadow the delicious natural flavor of the crab, but rather, it enhanced it in a harmonious way.
Did it taste a bit less sweet?
Yan Chao carefully savored it.
In the previous Crabmeat Fried Rice, apart from the natural sweet flavor of the crab, there was an additional hint of sweetness.
When Qin Lang cooked the crab, he didn’t hide anything. Yan Chao had once seen Qin Lang cook the crab and he added a bit of white sugar in the process.
This additional sweetness came from that sugar and it enhanced the flavor.
Maybe during the improvement process, less sugar was added, or perhaps none at all.
Yan Chao speculated in his mind.
However, he was only a foodie and couldn’t discern more than this. Apart from noticing this single change, the remaining feeling was just…
Delicious!
The impression of the original Crabmeat Fried Rice was now swiftly replaced by the Spicy Crabmeat Fried Rice in Yan Chao’s mind.
As Ma Pai had mentioned, this spiciness was like the final touch to a dragon painting. The taste not only awakened the taste buds but also made the Crabmeat Fried Rice even more delicious.
“The improved version is better than the original!” After tasting, Yan Chao gave his judgement.
Following that, he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
The original Crabmeat Fried Rice was already tremendously breathtaking, yet incredibly Boss Qin could take it a step further based on that. Although he received guidance from Miss Ye Cangqing, his inborn talent for culinary arts cannot be concealed.
Seeing Qin Lang, who was younger than his own son, Yan Chao was overcome with emotion.
Simultaneously, the news that Qin Lang’s Crabmeat Fried Rice had been improved, and that the spicy version was better than the original, spread from the front to the back of the line.
Little Orange and Yibu at the end of the queue exchanged glances.
After tasting in the afternoon, the two women decided to keep eating on the “Yueyu Cruise Ship” that evening.
They were both unanimous about what to eat first.
That was Qin Lang’s Crabmeat Fried Rice!
Now, before they could eat it, the two of them received such astonishing news.
They were extremely surprised.
Similarly surprised were the viewers in Little Orange’s live streaming room.
Yes, Little Orange started live streaming again in the evening.
After clearly hearing the discussions from the front via her audio device, the live chat started scrolling rapidly.
(I haven’t even tasted the original version, and you’re telling me there’s now a spicy version?)
(Thank goodness I tasted the original version this afternoon. I have no regrets now!)
(Please reveal your address immediately, will ship some local specialties to you.)
(I’m still at the pier. I should be able to taste the spicy version tonight. Exciting!)
(…)
In the morning live stream, Qin Lang was an unknown youngster. But as the day went by, he has quickly become well-known at the Leaping Fish Banquet.
There were many viewers in the live streaming room who had tasted the Crabmeat Fried Rice, so when the news of the Crabmeat Fried Rice being improved came out, it immediately stirred up a heated discussion.
After glancing at the live chat, Little Orange’s face was filled with anticipation.
“Boss Qin changed the Crabmeat Fried Rice into a spicy version! Even though the previous version was also delicious, it was a bit too subtle for me.”
She loves to eat spicy food.
But Yibu next to her couldn’t help but frown, “Oh no! I can’t eat spicy food!”
“No problem, you can give your portion to me.” Little Orange opened her mouth, grinning, “I’ll be happy to eat it for you reluctantly.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it!” Yibu glared at her, “For the sake of delicious Crabmeat Fried Rice, I can tolerate a little bit of spiciness!”
Raised on her tiptoes to check the constantly moving queue, a hint of nervousness appeared on Yibu’s face.
It shouldn’t be too spicy, right?
