Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Unexpected Situation

After savoring the egg yolk crisps, Qin Lang carefully stored the remainder, washed up with Dan Bao, and they both quickly slipped into slumber.

The story fast-forwards to the next morning.

Qin Lang woke up early, quickly washed up with Dan Bao, and then took yesterday’s egg yolk crisps as a breakfast on the go. They soon set off in the direction of Zhen Niu Pavilion.

The distance to Zhen Niu Pavilion from Qin Lang’s home stretched across almost half of Dongxia City, and it would take a few hours by public transportation and subway.

Taking into account the time for the test, they should just about be able to reach Starlight Restaurant before dinner service time.

A few hours later, Qin Lang arrived at Zhen Niu Pavilion.

Seeing the magnificent giant bull-shaped building and the high-quality beef cattle visible everywhere within the fences, Qin Lang instantly felt like he was broadening his horizons.

Even in his previous life, he had seldom been to such professional top-grade beef ranches.

And the fact that such a place existed in Dongxia City, which was just an average city in the Food Spirit World, showed the high regard people in this world had for delicious food and ingredients.

“Gurgle!”

Through the fence, Dan Bao looked at the calm-faced bulls with a thick sense of curiosity.

This was the first time it had seen live cows; before this, it had only gone with Qin Lang to buy beef at the Food Material Market.

So, that’s what cows look like-

Those two horns resemble Zhao Chen’s Food Spirit a bit…

It continued looking around until Qin Lang called out to it, prompting it to quickly follow along.

“Hello.”

As Qin Lang walked towards the entrance of Zhen Niu Pavilion, a staff member came over. “This is Zhen Niu Pavilion. Do you have a reservation?”

“Um…no, I came to visit Mr. Fu Hang to accept the Food Recommender Badge challenge. I’m a Spirit Chef.” Qin Lang quickly explained, “That doesn’t require reservation, does it?”

“Indeed it doesn’t. Please wait a moment while I contact Mr. Fu Hang.” The staff member nodded and then picked up the pager to relay the situation.

Soon, the staff member looked at Qin Lang with a somewhat odd expression. “Mr. Fu Hang said that you may enter Zhen Niu Pavilion now. However…there might be some unusual circumstances regarding your challenge.”

“What kind of circumstances?”

Qin Lang’s heart sank, and his face turned nervous.

“Mr. Fu Hang will explain the details to you.” The staff member didn’t elaborate, but simply indicated for Qin Lang to enter.

Given the circumstances, Qin Lang had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and follow the staff member inside the giant bull-shaped building.contemporary romance

Soon, inside a spacious and bright meeting room, Qin Lang saw Fu Hang.

He was a muscular man, as sturdy as a bull, with intricately trimmed facial hair above his lips. His hair was tied back, and his features exuded a chivalrous appeal.

But Fu Hang wasn’t the only person in the meeting room; there was also a man in his twenties sitting off to the side.

It looked like they had been having a pleasant conversation before Qin Lang arrived.

“Young man, are you here for the Food Recommender Badge challenge?” Fu Hang stood up and walked to Qin Lang, his towering figure exuding an intense pressure.

“Indeed, Mr. Fu Hang.” Qin Lang nodded.

“Hmm…” Fu Hang stroked his chin, with a hint of regret in his voice, “Well, ordinarily, when a Spirit Chef comes for the Food Recommender Badge challenge, I, as a Food Recommender, would arrange it immediately, but…”

He pointed to the young man sitting off to the side. “This young man came earlier than you, and he’s also here for the Food Recommender Badge challenge.”

“Usually, a Food Recommender wouldn’t conduct multiple challenges on the same day.”

“So… unless you don’t mind, perhaps you could come back tomorrow?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang turned to the young man, who greeted him with a friendly smile. “Next time, try to come a bit earlier, little brother.”

Qin Lang scratched his head, displaying a look of helplessness.

With only a few days left until the next City-level Cooking Competition, he hadn’t yet gathered enough Food Recommender Badges to participate in the competition. So, it was natural that other Spirit Chefs could also be rushing to collect their badges in these few days.

This situation was to be expected.

It’s just that, it wasn’t easy for him to get here. It took several hours to commute, and now his trip seemed to be in vain…

Fu Hang also couldn’t help but display a look of regret.

Because of the rule that winners of the challenge receive an extra kilogram of beef, more Spirit Chefs visited him than other Food Recommenders. Every time a cooking competition was about to start, similar situations would occur.

Actually, there was another solution: to let these two do the challenge at the same time.

But the moment he saw Qin Lang, Fu Hang rejected this idea.

Qin Lang was too young.

It would be difficult for such a young boy to have a high skill level in cooking beef.

On the other hand, the other Spirit Chef who had come to visit him was a rising star in the culinary world who hadn’t yet gathered three badges. His cooking skills were commendable.

If two Spirit Chefs performed the same challenge simultaneously, the contrast in their skill levels would make the lesser chef appear even less impressive, and would lower their chances of getting the badge.

Considering Qin Lang’s interests, it would be better to have him come again tomorrow.

“Alright, Mr. Fu Hang, 1 will come a bit earlier tomorrow. I apologize for the disturbance today.”

In the end, Qin Lang decided to call it quits for the day.

Visiting other Food Recommenders was an option, but he was rather tempted by the additional kilogram of beef.

After excusing himself, Qin Lang turned to leave the meeting room, but nearly collided with another figure entering the room.

“Huh?” That person noticed Qin Lang and quickly showed a surprised expression. “It’s you!”

Upon taking a closer look, Qin Lang also showed a look of surprise.

The person in front of him was someone he had encountered several times before: it was the guide from the beef area of the Food Material Market, Fu something… he wasn’t quite sure about his name.

Wait…

Fu?!

“Xiao Guan, do you know this young man?” Fu Hang inquired.

“Uncle, this is the Spirit Chef I mentioned to you before, the one who won the Food Fight using an oxtail.” Fu Guan turned to look at Qin Lang. “You came here for my uncle’s Food Recommender Badge challenge, right? Did you pass?”

“It hasn’t started yet.” Still amazed at how small the world was, Qin Lang explained the situation to him.

On the other end, having heard Fu Guan’s words, Fu Hang fell into contemplation.

Was it him?

When his nephew had mentioned this before, he had taken an interest in the Spirit Chef who had cooked using an oxtail.

Winning a Food Fight wasn’t a big deal, it could just mean the competitor was weak.

But after the Food Fight, the judges had flocked to Fu Guan’s beef area to buy oxtail, indicating that the dish made with oxtail was beyond ordinary.

This resulted in Fu Hang getting a new understanding of Qin Lang’s cooking skills.

It seemed that although the kid was young, his cooking skills weren’t as low as he had thought!

In that case…

Fu Hang looked at the young man, then at Qin Lang, and suddenly gave a cheeky smile.

“I’ve changed my mind.”

“The challenge… both of you will take it simultaneously..”
