Chapter 274: Notes

“Thank you all for displaying your culinary skills and understanding of delicious food at the Leaping Fish Banquet over the past three days.”

Ye Cangqing’s gentle voice echoed once again across every corner of the deck of the “Yueyu Cruise Ship”. “Over these three days, I saw the effort each of you put in, and every vote cast by the food guests affirmed your contributions.”

She gently shook the list in her hand, her smile deepened, “Next, I will announce the winners of the Youth Group and the All-age Group who received the highest affirmations from food guests in the past three days.”

The Spirit Chefs gathered on the deck quieted down, their gaze subtly falling on two people in the center of the scene.

There were few surprises in the announcement of the winners.

“Congratulations to Qin Lang for winning the award in the Youth Group.”

Amid the surrounding applause, Qin Lang walked out, a smile on his face.

Although he had anticipated it, he was still very happy to truly receive this honor. Moreover, becoming a winner of the Leaping Fish Banquet meant he would receive cooking notes from Ms. Ye Cangqing.

In the two days of exchanges, he had already gained a lot. Having received the cooking notes, his gains would only multiply.

In the crowd, Zhou Qing and Li Hong exchanged glances.

When inviting Qin Lang to join them, neither of them had thought that Qin Lang would make it this far today.

However, recalling their experiences with Qin Lang, they felt that it was only natural for him to win.

This was a boy with extremely high talent.

“There is still very much I need to learn from everyone.” Qin Lang said humbly as he took the microphone, “There is much room for improvement in my cooking skills.”

Hearing Qin Lang’s words, the other Spirit Chefs in the Youth Group looked at each other, recalling the votes they were far behind Qin Lang in the past three days, they fell silent.

You’re already this good, and there’s still much room for improvement?

“What a terrifying guy.” Shen Qian crossed her arms, looking at the boy on the stage, her eyes filled with admiration.

Before the Leaping Fish Banquet, she had hoped to compete with him in her best category of seafood dishes.

But after tasting Qin Lang’s crab roe fried rice once, this idea quietly disappeared.

The current she, was not his match.

Thinking about Qin Lang accompanying her on the way to Crown Ling City, she could not help but show a smile of anticipation on her face.

With such a free cooking training partner, when she truly stood on the stage of the provincial-level cooking competition, her cooking skills would surely improve a lot, wouldn’t they?

After announcing the winner of the Youth Group, Ye Cangqing smiled slightly.

“Let’s congratulate Luo Xian, who has become the winner of the All-age Group.”

As Ms. Ye Cangqing’s voice fell, Luo Xian walked out with steady steps. His face wore a calm smile without any excessive excitement from being the winner.

“The Leaping Fish Banquet provided me with a meaningful stage.” Luo Xian took the microphone from the staff member and slowly began to speak, “For me, setting up a stall to entertain so many food guests was also a first.”

“It was a joyful experience.” Luo Xian put down the microphone, indicating that he had finished speaking.

There was a subtle flash in Ye Cangqing’s eyes.

In front of her, this Spirit Chef from the Lotlan Region showed no signs of pressure. The way he stood and spoke on the stage seemed to be excessively steady.

As if… He had faced Food Recommenders of this level more than once before and had long gotten accustomed to it.

Ye Cangqing had tasted Luo Xian’s three dishes as well.

From his current performance, that might not be his limit.

An interesting guy.

Ye Cangqing had a hunch that she might hear the name Luo Xian again in the future.

“Woo—- ”

The lengthy sound of a steam whistle reverberated at the pier by the lake.

The “Yueyu Cruise Ship,” which had hovered over the lake for three days, slowly approached its berth to ultimately make a complete stop.

Stepping off the ship with others, Qin Lang finally felt the solidity of the ground beneath his feet after three days.

However, unlike before, he now had a golden commemorative medal around his neck as he disembarked. The medal had the symbol of a leaping fish on one side, while the other side was engraved with the words “Leaping Fish Banquet Winner Commemorative Medal.”

In addition to that, he held a notebook tightly in his hand.

The orange-brown leather cover of the notebook had the same Leaping Fish Banquet symbol.

This was his other reward as the winner of the Leaping Fish Banquet, and the one he valued the most—Ye Cangqing’s culinary notebook.

“What a wonderful experience this has been, though it was a bit challenging.” Luo Xian, holding a notebook similar to Qin Lang’s, passed by him with a smile. “I hope we will meet again.”

“Mr. Luo Xian, will you stay in Mingjing Province after this?” Qin Lang asked curiously.

If convenient, he would be delighted to exchange culinary skills with him.

No,” a glint of amusement crossed Luo Xian’s eyes. “Regrettably, I am headed for Wuhe State next.”

“Then, we shall meet again if fate allows.” Qin Lang replied, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

“There will be a next time.” Luo Xian, waving to the tall figure approaching quickly, smiled, “Young gentleman, being able to see you again before leaving Mingjing Province is certainly pleasant news.”

Qin Lang looked at Zhou Tianhao approaching, feeling somewhat curious.

For some reason, Luo Xian addressed Zhou Tianhao differently from everyone else.

Recalling his somewhat peculiar dish names…

Mr. Luo Xian sure was an odd character.

“You’re leaving Mingjing Province?” Zhou Tianhao’s attention was caught by Luo Xian’s words.

“Wuhe State, that’s my next destination.” Luo Xian shrugged. “Actually, I was planning to go there initially but decided to make a detour when I heard about the Leaping Fish Banquet.”

“Safe journey then.” Zhou Tianhao nodded slightly.

“And best of luck in apprehending that desperate criminal,” Luo Xian said, his tone filled with a sense of justice.

“I will. In fact, I have already picked up his trail!” A sense of excitement filled Zhou Tianhao’s face. “He may think he’s left no trace, but justice has a way of finding its mark!”

“Next, he’s likely to head to Lanqiu City. This time, I won’t let him get away!”

“Stay safe,” Luo Xian offered, his advice heartfelt, “It’s getting late, I will take my leave.”

Saying this, Luo Xian didn’t stick around and turned to leave.

As he turned, his shoulders twitched slightly, as if he was struggling to hold back his laughter.

But Zhou Tianhao, who had already turned to face Qin Lang, failed to notice this little detail.

“Congratulations on your win, Qin Lang.” Zhou Tianhao patted Qin Lang’s shoulder. “I’m heading to Lanqiu City tonight to investigate the Star Hunter and that’s why I came to the pier ahead of time to say goodbye.”

“Oh, I see.” Suddenly, it dawned on Qin Lang.

But… Lanqiu City?

Wasn’t that where he and Shen Qian were headed next?
