Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Selection of Meat and Food Fight

“Gululu-”

Feeling satisfied, Dan Bao swayed in the air, then lazily landed on Qin Lang’s head.

With a light “plop,” its round and chubby tail drooped lifelessly, bumping into the small braid Qin Lang combed at the back of his head.

After indulging in a meal of silky egg beef accompanied by rice, Dan Bao’s little face was filled with happiness.

Qin Lang supported Dan Bao with one hand, a smile also emerging on his face.

After Fu Hang and Tang Xie granted them the Teng Niu Badges, they finished the rest of the delicious food for lunch.

Qin Lang also tasted the Beef Fruit Package that Tang Xie prepared.

Frankly, the taste was indeed very good.

But his silky egg beef still edged it out.

Among the four people, the happiest was Fu Guan, who got off easy.

Coming here together, he not only witnessed the culinary skills of the two Spirit Chefs, but also got to enjoy a splendid meal.

The richly flavored beef fruit package was beyond delicious, but it was Qin Lang’s silky egg beef that truly broadened Fu Guan’s horizons.

Now he understood why Qin Lang’s victory with oxtail in the Food Fight led judges to flock to his Beef Area to buy oxtail.

“Alright,” after tidying up the aftermath, Fu Hang stood straight and turned again towards the corner where the alloy door was marked with the Zhen Niu Pavilion logo, “You two follow me, you can pick a kilogram of beef from the low-temperature storage area!”

Hearing this, Qin Lang’s eyes immediately lit up.

Wasn’t this the moment he had circumnavigated other Food Recommenders to visit Fu Hang for?

Top-quality beef, a choice of any part up to one kilogram!

Meanwhile, Tang Xie, who stood on the side, was also revitalized, showing an expectant look.

He wasn’t as poor as Qin Lang, but the quality of beef here at Fu Hang’s was better than that sold in the Food Material Market certified by the Association, an irresistible attraction for every Spirit Chef.

The two followed him, passing through the icy mist flowing from the alloy door, entering Fu Hang’s mysterious low-temperature storage.

The interior space of the storage was much larger than it looked from the outside. Countless shelves filled several stories, with tags clearly marking the beef species, grain-fed days, parts, and various detailed data on each shelf.

What was indeed a place for storing beef gave both Qin Lang and Tang Xie a luxurious feeling.

“The temperature here is very low to preserve the beef. You two should be careful not to catch a cold,” Fu Hang laughed, proudly pointing to the grand shelves, then waving his hand boldly, “One kilogram, choose freely!”

“Thank you, Mr. Fu Hang.”

The two thanked him simultaneously, then moved forward to carefully discern the quality of the beef and pick the parts they wanted.

The temperature in the storage was very low, but it couldn’t cool down the excitement in their hearts.

“Which one to choose…” Looking at the varied types of beef before him, Qin Lang, as a chef, felt a happy worry.

He was very unfamiliar with the beef varieties in this world, having never studied them.

So to judge the quality, he could only go by the fat marbling and the color of the beef.

Dan Bao, who was perched on his head, also took flight again to help Qin Lang in his selection.

Soon, Dan Bao’s gaze landed on a piece of meat.

Unlike the other large pieces of beef, this one had a long, slender cut surface, almost symmetrical on both sides, with the fat marbling similar to snowflakes. It was exceptionally beautiful.

Moreover, there was a clear white line in the middle, just like the veins of a leaf.

This made Dan Bao, who judges by the looks, immediately fond of it.

“Gululu?”

What meat is this?

“Let me see…” Qin Lang stepped forward, picking it up to examine closely, his face showing a look of wonder, “Such exquisite beef short ribs!”

Beef short ribs, taken from the chest rib area of the cow, specifically the area of the 6th to 8th ribs.

When left with the rib, it’s also referred to as Cowboy bone.

The piece in Qin Lang’s hand had already been boneless and finely trimmed.

Just at a glance at its rich marbling, he could imagine how this piece of beef, simply grilled over a flame, could burst out with a spectacular aroma and richness.

Suddenly, Tang Xie’s voice came from the side.

“Mr. Fu Hang, 1 want this piece.”

“Oh? Eye round, you have a good choice!” Fu Hang took a glance, estimated the weight in Tang Xie’s hands to be exactly one kilogram, laughed, “Alright! Give me your address, and I’ll have it delivered to your home.”

To preserve the taste, the beef should not be repeatedly defrosted, and needs to be transported through a cold chain throughout.

Tang Xie hurriedly nodded, giving his address, his face filled with anticipation.

Seeing that Tang Xie had finished selecting, Qin Lang smiled, “We’ll take this piece of beef short ribs.”

He roughly estimated the weight, just a kilogram.

As for how to prepare this short rib…

He already had an idea in mind.

After the registration was completed, Qin Lang and Tang Xie said their farewells and left Zhen Niu Pavilion.

At the entrance of Zhen Niu Pavilion, just as the two were about to part ways, Tang Xie suddenly spoke up, “Qin Lang, this is my third Food Recommender Badge, what about you?”

“It’s my third one too,” Qin Lang responded.

“The third…” Tang Xie revealed an unsurprised expression, “It seems like you and 1 will be registering for the City-level Cooking Competition in four days.”

“Naturally.” Qin Lang’s face showed more anticipation, “Exchanging ideas with chefs from different places has always been my dream.”

“In that case, I have a suggestion.” Tang Xie took out the Duel initiator from his pocket, “Before the City-level Cooking Competition starts, how about we have a Food Fight?”

He was defeated by Qin Lang in a carefully prepared challenge, which left Tang Xie, who had always thought his cooking skills were unparalleled among his peers, somewhat frustrated.

In his view, Qin Lang was so young and maybe just happened to excel at silky egg beef, that’s why he performed extraordinarily in the challenge.

Therefore, he wanted to have a Food Fight with Qin Lang.

Of course, this was about defeating Qin Lang to regain his confidence in a Food Fight, but also to probe Qin Lang’s culinary skills.

After all, they would be competitors in the City-level Cooking Competition in a few days.

“Sure, 1 accept.” Estimating that the timing was not too rushed, Qin Lang readily nodded, “By the rules, I choose the Food Fight topic?”

“Yes.”

“In that case…l choose the Limited Cuisine Theme.” After thinking for a while, Qin Lang spoke decisively.

Now that he had an income from the temporary position, he wasn’t exactly poor now and wanted to try other Food Fight themes.

The two quickly inserted their Spirit Chef Badges into the Duel initiator, and once it was set up, a rapidly spinning roulette wheel appeared on the Duel initiator screen.

When the wheel stopped spinning, the pointer was pointing at the area marked “Exquisite.”

Dishes have to be exquisite?

Qin Lang blinked.

An unexpected topic indeed!
