Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Puzzled Salesperson and Special Training
Translator: 549690339
“Fu Guan, what are you up to?”
A voice brought Fu Guan back from his daydreams.
He glanced at the salesperson in the adjacent mutton area, “Old Tang, how were your sales today?”
“About the same as before.” Tang You spread his hands and came over to sit next to Fu Guan. “Compared to beef, the cost of mutton is lower. I envy you for having such high daily sales.”
The salespersons’ earnings are tied to the sales, and the revenue of the beef area that Fu Guan was in charge of was among the highest in the whole food market, naturally making his cut the highest too.
It was dinner time, the market was relatively quiet, and the two salespersons started chatting.
In a good mood, Fu Guan began, “Guess what, a Spirit Chef came to the beef area to buy ingredients for a food fight today. Guess which part of the beef he bought?”
“I guess it was the beef tenderloin.” Tang You answered without hesitation, “Spirit Chefs take food fights very seriously, so they naturally choose the best ingredients.”
“No, no, no.” Fu Guan smiled mysteriously. “This Spirit Chef chose oxtail.” “What?” Tang You’s eyes widened, “Doing a food fight with oxtail as an ingredient?”
“Yes, and it was even the main ingredient.” Fu Guan was about to tell his colleague more about the situation when customers came to the beef area, forcing him to pause their chat.
“It’s Judge Zhou!” Fu Guan quickly recognized this judge from the Spirit Chef Association.
This was a rare guest!
A smile quickly appeared on his face, “What would you like, Judge Zhou?”
“I’d like to check the oxtail.” Zhou Yun answered calmly. He scanned the display case in the beef area, quickly making his selection. “Please wrap these two for me.”
Oxtail?
Judge Zhou is also interested in oxtail?
Fu Guan was a bit curious, but he didn’t show it, and he packed Zhou Yun’s order after it was weighed.
Watching Zhou Yun leave, he saw a woman quickly approaching.
A smile appeared again on Fu Guan’s face, “Judge Qi, what would you like to buy?”
“Two oxtails.” The woman asked calmly and then quickly made her selection from the display case.
Fu Guan:”???”
Oxtail again?
“Okay.” Fu Guan was full of questions, but he weighed and charged for her order, then packed it.
Not long after Judge Qi left, another judge from the association hurried over.
Without waiting for him to speak, Fu Guan took the initiative to ask, “Judge Zhang, would you like to buy oxtail too?”
“Hmm?” Judge Zhang chuckled and scratched his head, “It seems they were quicker than me. If there are two left, I’ll take them both.”
Fu Guan started weighing, but this time he couldn’t suppress his curiosity. “Judge Zhang, could you tell me why several judges have bought oxtail today?” “Today we jointly judged a food fight.” Judge Zhang smiled, “One of the Spirit Chefs cooked a dish with oxtail and won the food fight.”
“After tasting his dish, I’ve gained a new appreciation for this ingredient and wanted to try making it myself.” Judge Zhang waved at another judge walking towards him, “Old Li, you’re late, there’s no more oxtail!”
“Can a single old man like you eat two oxtails by himself? Come on, give me one.” Judge Li chuckled and took one from Judge Zhang, which made the latter puff out his beard and glare at him.
Hearing Judge Zhang’s words, Fu Guan was thunderstruck.
Was it the young man named Qin Lang?
Did he really use oxtail as the main ingredient and win a food fight?!
“The last steamed bass is finished. I’ll go home first!”
Standing outside the Starlight Restaurant, Qin Lang waved to Luo Hui, who was still busy inside.
“Alright, you’ve worked hard!” Luo Hui cheerfully nodded.
In the only two or three days that Qin Lang worked at the restaurant, business visibly improved.
This made him look at Qin Lang with favourable eyes.
“You are the one who’s been working even harder, Uncle Luo Hui.”
Qin Lang turned around, holding Dan Bao as he walked home.
“Bulooro!”
Dan Bao’s little face excitedly spun a few circles within its body, its eyes full of anticipation as it looked at Qin Lang.
It did not forget what Qin Lang said during the food fight.
If they won the food fight, he would make a dessert called caramel pudding tonight!
“Don’t worry, I didn’t forget.” Qin Lang rubbed Dan Bao’s big ears, “but before making caramel pudding, we need to do a little special training.”
Dan Bao blinked.
Special training? What is that?
“To create the crunchy caramel layer on the surface of the caramel pudding, it’s best to use a flame spray gun.” Qin Lang smiled, “We don’t have one at home, and I don’t plan to buy one.”
“Your combat skill, Full Firepower, can produce a flame attack, and the way you spray the flame can be changed through training.” Qin Lang rubbed Dan Bao’s head, “Who says only food skills can assist Spirit Chefs in cooking?”
Dan Bao’s eyes gradually brightened.
So combat skills can also be used in cooking?
This means that not only can it help Spirit Chefs keep the ingredients fresh, but it can also help in other ways?
“Bulooro!”
1 want special training!
Dan Bao’s face was full of anticipation.
“There’s a spacious park on the way home, we can do the special training there.” Qin Lang smiled and suggested. The two of them soon arrived at the park Qin Lang was talking about.
“First, try to reduce the power of Full Firepower!”
Standing on a stone high platform in the park, under the dim street light, Qin Lang began to direct Dan Bao’s special training.
Dan Bao nodded seriously, took a deep breath, and suddenly a flame churned inside its body.
“Whoosh!”
A huge fan-like flame spread rapidly in front of the vacant ground as it exhaled. The golden red flame was brilliantly stunning in the night, with sparks bursting out like fireworks and a rolling heat wave spread outwards.
The Full Firepower Dan Bao used this time was clearly less powerful than the one it used during the Spirit Battle. It was clear that it had taken Qin Lang’s words to heart.
“You’re doing great!” After feeling the temperature of the flame, Qin Lang nodded.
“But that’s not enough.” He continued, while making gestures with his hand, “The Full Firepower you’re using now has an attack range this big. Next, you can try to concentrate the flame.”
“Bulooro!”
Concentrate the flame more!
Dan Bao’s eyes were shining bright, understanding Qin Lang’s meaning in an instant.
It blew towards the empty field again, this time the fan of flame was about half the size as before.
“Very good!” Seeing Dan Bao make such great progress in just one attempt, Qin Lang didn’t hesitate to praise, “Let’s continue! When the flame is concentrated into a straight line, we can make caramel pudding!”
“Bulooro!”
Caramel pudding!
Dan Bao’s eyes shone again.
For caramel pudding, we must go all out in special training!
Check out my Full Firepower!
“Whoosh!”
