Livestock?

Seeing the selected category, Shen Qian’s brows raised slightly.

Given Yue Hu City’s unique geographical environment, the ingredients most proficiently used by the spirit chefs here are undoubtedly aquatic.

But she wasn’t overly worried.

Having obtained three second-level Food Recommender badges, her culinary skills wouldn’t be confined to a particular cuisine.

Livestock, no problem.

She only wondered if Qin Lang was good at it.

Thinking of this, Shen Qian subconsciously glanced at her opponent.

When she saw the troubled expression on Qin Lang’s face, she looked somewhat surprised.

Could it be that Qin Lang wasn’t skilled in cooking with livestock ingredients?

As a spirit chef who has obtained four second-level Food Recommender badges, this shouldn’t be the case.UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Qin Lang was indeed troubled.

But his plight was quite different from what Shen Qian imagined.

He was deciding what dish to cook for the Food Fight.

Livestock is a broad ingredient category.

The so-called “Three Sacrifices and Six Livestock” refer to cows, sheep, pigs for the former, and horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs for the latter.

The Three Sacrifices are included in the Six Livestock, still offering six types of choices.

Not to mention, the number of dishes that can use them as ingredients is countless.

Mastering too many types of dishes can sometimes be overwhelming.

“We meet for the duel at the Spirit Chef Association the day after tomorrow morning, okay?” Shen Qian asked to confirm the time, snapping Qin Lang back to reality.

“No problem.” Qin Lang responded instinctively, then added, “But I have an additional request.”

“Say it.”

“If possible, 1 hope this Food Fight can be held in Transparent Mode.” Qin Lang stated without hesitation.

Transparent Mode?

Shen Qian blinked.

Of course, she knew what that was.

The so-called Transparent Mode means that the exterior walls of the Competitive Standard Kitchen are set to fully transparent during the Food Fight so that the outside can easily see the entire cooking process of the Spirit Chef. Only the interaction of sounds and smells from inside and outside is blocked.

Having obtained three second-level Food Recommender badges within a year, Shen Qian’s goal is naturally a higher level than the city-level cooking contest – a provincial-level cooking contest. At that point, cooking under Transparent Mode will become standard.

Therefore, she wasn’t resistant to the idea, especially since her current opponent had a similar skill level to her.

Well, in her view.

“Okay, no problem!” Shen Qian agreed readily, “I look forward to your guidance.”

“1 also look forward to our duel the day after tomorrow morning.” Qin Lang responded with a smile.

Although he had previously partaken in outdoor duels, there was a distinct difference between those and a formal Transparent Mode duel in a Competitive Standard Kitchen.

Getting familiar with the process during the Food Fight wasn’t a bad thing.

“Heh heh, I think I’d like to watch your duel the day after tomorrow morning too. May I?” Shen He asked with a playful smile.

“Count me in.” Li Hong nodded slightly.

“Of course, 1 also want to watch.” Zhou Qing laughed as he sipped his tea.

Under normal circumstances, there are no restrictions on the audience seats for Food Fights. Anyone can watch a Food Fight, even if they don’t know either of the participants.

However, in Food Fights held in Transparent Mode, only the audience permitted by both participants can enter the audience seats to watch the battle.

Qin Lang and Shen Qian naturally couldn’t say no to the three men’s requests.

After dining together, the three men voluntarily excused themselves from Shen He’s house, returning to the hotel.

After spending some time in their rooms to digest, Qin Lang left again with the two little ones.

Unlike before, this time he was wearing a camera on his chest.

Thanks to the early preparations by Li Hong and Zhou Qing, the three people reserved the desired rooms before the hotel was fully booked. Plus, the location of the hotel was excellent.

It only took a few minutes to walk to the shores of Jumping Fish Lake.

Before, when disembarking from the pier, Qin Lang had to rush to the hotel to drop off his luggage. He didn’t have time to appreciate the lake’s scenery fully. Now, he finally had a chance to do so.

In the evening breeze, facing the evening glow, Qin Lang stood by the stone fence of the lake, his hands propped on the railing as he looked out over the shimmering lake.

At the end of his line of sight, at the junction between the water and the sky, Qin Lang could just make out a shadowy border.

That was the other side of the lake.

Only at this moment could he truly comprehend the vastness of Jumping Fish Lake.

“Come, let’s take a group photo.” Qin Lang had a sudden idea. He held up the camera on his chest and smiled.

The two little ones happily came to Qin Lang’s left and right.

Soon, a selfie with the lake and the evening glow as a backdrop was done.

Even without any subsequent editing, it was already an astonishing photo.

In high spirits, Qin Lang took a few more photos. He then securely saved the photos stored in the device and strolled along the lakeside with the two little ones.

There were numerous pedestrians on the path within the stone fence.

Some were locals who came here for a post-dinner stroll, while others were tourists like Qin Lang.

Distinguishing between them was quite easy.

Locals often walked in groups, mostly families, strolling with joyful expressions while chatting and laughing.

Many children ran around with snacks or toys, chasing playfully. They would stop at the call of their elders—quite a warm sight.

On the other hand, most tourists, like Qin Lang, were busy taking photos at different locations and angles, completely engrossed in it.

With so many pedestrians, naturally, there were street vendors about.

Some simply placed a nylon bag on the ground, displaying shiny toys or wind-up knick-knacks. Sitting on a small stool by the side, they attracted lots of children.

Others sold slightly more complex trinkets like Diabolos, performing tricks that often earned exclamations of astonishment.

Next to the stalls, many pedestrians also held identical toys, evidently inspired by the vendors’ dazzling demonstrations.

But once the same toys were in their hands, it became a rather embarrassing sight.

Besides these toys, there were also plenty of food stalls.

In an open area by the lakeside, more than a dozen stalls stood a few meters apart in an orderly manner, each with quite a line of customers waiting.

Even from afar, Qin Lang already caught a whiff of the rich aroma of various foods intertwined.

This savory smell was the best signboard. Just by sniffing, Qin Lang and the two little ones, despite having eaten dinner, felt somewhat hungry again.

There’s a saying that snacks and main courses go to different stomachs.

So would having eaten dinner affect Qin Lang and the others’ snack appetite?

Of course not.

“Come on; let’s see what specialty snacks Yue Hu City has.”
