Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Recognition

“What a miscalculation, I didn’t expect the first batch of food guests this afternoon to be so crazy.”

Standing at the end of a long queue, a girl with long black hair and big black glasses puffed her cheeks, her face showing a hint of frustration and helplessness.

However…

The girl tiptoed a little bit, looking at the front of the queue she was currently in.

There was a stall over there, and the shopkeeper who was busy at it was quite young.

“I did guess it right!” The girl murmured, a touch of joy on her face, “I took the right bet!”

The girl was Jiang Qianyi, a professional writer for a food-oriented self-media platform.

Her job was to write about food-related topics, which would be published on the self-media platform after editor’s review.

This kind of work relies heavily on real-time relevance.

Publishing content that’s in sync with the times, being one step ahead of colleagues, can attract more traffic and attention, and earn more money.

The Leaping Fish Banquet, a gala sweeping the whole Mingjing Province, is an event that no self-media in the food industry can miss.

As early as this morning, a large number of self-media writers boarded the “Yueyu Cruise Ship”, tasted various delicacies, and then wrote corresponding articles for publication.

But Jiang Qianyi was smarter than other writers.

She took a different approach and didn’t write any food tasting evaluations in the morning.

More than that, she didn’t board the “Yueyu Cruise Ship” to taste the food.

Jiang Qianyi focused on the food guests waiting at the twelve piers to board the ship. She spent the whole morning recording the guests’ expectations for the Leaping Fish Banquet and their evaluations when they returned from the “Yueyu Cruise Ship”.

With a unique perspective, her first article got a high number of likes and comments, and won her editor’s bonus.

And this time, she was going to cover something different.

The temporary voting rankings after the first round of the Leaping Fish Banquet were not only publicly presented among the participating Spirit chefs, but also disclosed to the public.

Compared with the youth group, the all-age group received more attention.

Just like the regular training competition receives more attention than the Youth Training Competition.

At this point, Jiang Qianyi’s colleagues were probably already looking for the Spirit Chef named Qiu Longfei on the deck.

But Jiang Qianyi used her connections to find out early about the Spirit Chef who currently ranks first in the youth group. She arrived an hour early at the pier corresponding to the boarding platform he was going to, and boarded the first batch of ferries in the afternoon.

Yes, her target was Qin Lang.

The reason she chose to focus on the less attention-grabbing Youth Group was partly because the audience of the self-media platform she works for is relatively young, and a young Spirit Chef like him could potentially pique their interest.

On the other hand, and most importantly,

Jiang Qianyi was not unfamiliar with the name Qin Lang.

As a writer in the culinary field, Jiang Qianyi pays a lot of attention to the food zone of D Site.

About half a month ago, she saw a Golden Treasure Box donation.

Such a big donation will trigger notifications all over the Samiya region – they’re not common. Noticing that the UP host awarded was from the food zone, Jiang Qianyi became interested.

She watched all previous videos of that UP host, and through reviews and comments, she learned loads of information about that UP host called “Traveler”.

That included his real name, Qin Lang.

Because the UP host was not from Mingjing Province, but from the Tianhua State to the north of Mingjing, Jiang Qianyi simply mentioned him in one of her articles and didn’t divulge much information about him.

She thought she wouldn’t have any real-life encounters with this young UP host.

When she saw this name again listed first in the youth group, Jiang Qianyi decided on the spot: the theme of the second issue would be this!

She could not only write about Qin Lang’s performance at the Leaping Fish Banquet but also introduce his past experiences. She could easily produce a full article which would undoubtedly differ from those of her colleagues!

Having thought of this, Jiang Qianyi touched the camera hanging on her chest. If she got his permission, she could even take a photo of him!

Putting the photo in the article, she was sure the effect would be even better! After all, the boy named Qin Lang was indeed handsome.

With this thought, the corner of Jiang Qianyi’s mouth involuntarily curved upward, revealing a silly smile that seemed somewhat adorable in others’ eyes. But very soon, Jiang Qianyi noticed something was off.

Though she was able to take the first ferry of the afternoon, she was pushed to the back of the crowd because of her petite size. By the time she reached Qin Lang’s stall, there were already over thirty people ahead of her.

She was already prepared to line up for at least half an hour, but…

Looking at Qin Lang within reach, Jiang Qianyi got a bit disoriented.

It’s only been a few minutes, why was it already her turn?!

“Hello, what can I get you?” Qin Lang, with gloves on, was washing the dishes at a sink nearby. His hands never stopped moving as he greeted Jiang Qianyi with a smile.

“I’d like a pound of gravy seafood, and a portion of crab roe fried rice!”

Jiang Qianyi quickly came to her senses and promptly placed her order.

“Alright, just a moment.” Qin Lang nodded slightly, and continued to do the dishes.

Isn’t it too rushed to wash the dishes and prepare the food at the same time? Jiang Qianyi mused.

But very soon, she found that reality did not quite match her imagination. Someone else was preparing the food. Or rather, something else was doing it. Looking at the levitating ladle, the glass tank lid lifting on its own, the small bowl that automatically scooped rice and crab powder, the electronic scales that weighed ingredients automatically, Jiang Qianyi’s mouth slowly opened wide. Finally, she turned her gaze to the food spirit that was hovering in the air. It’s Dan Bao!

As a fan of Qin Lang on D Site, Jiang Qianyi naturally remembered the two adorable food spirits Qin had.

She’d heard that some food spirits could master a combat skill called Thought Waves, thereby realizing telekinetic control. They could help the Spirit Chef in everyday life. Obviously, what Dan Bao was showing right now was this ability.

“Thanks-”

Stunned, Jiang Qianyi took the two dishes presented to her, looking at Qin Lang who had finished doing the dishes and turned to fry the crab powder, and the other food spirit fluttering beside him.

Although busy, everything on the small stall seemed orderly.

Jiang Qianyi moved to the side, made way for others, and then watched as the ten food guests behind her in line got their own delicacies in just two short minutes.

This efficiency… it’s just amazing.

Could this part be added to her article too?

Jiang Qianyi pondered this while taking a spoonful of crab roe fried rice into her mouth.

The next moment, an unparalleled delicious taste filled her mouth, taking her by surprise.

This…

This crab roe fried rice…

Jiang Qianyi felt a rush of inspiration.

She could definitely write out at least three hundred words just by describing this crab roe fried rice!

After tasting the crab roe fried rice, Jiang Qianyi clarified her intention. With Qin Lang’s consent, she took a few photos of him and his stall before she said goodbye and left. 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

In an open space on the deck, she tasted the gravy seafood while her hands were a blur on her cell phone, typing rapidly.

A thousand-word article was uploaded half an hour later.
