Gourmet Style Beast Taming

Chapter 374: Yan Pi

After the ground meat was prepared, in front of tens of thousands of spectators in the arena, the mysterious veil of the dish Qin Lang was about to prepare slowly lifted.

He wrapped the ground meat in a thin dough, which was rolled out after two hours of pounding. Then he boiled it in a pot and took it out, placing it in a well-flavored broth.

Bowls of soup with a brownish-yellow hue were presented, and one by one, the vibrant and lively delicious food wrapped in thin skins appeared in front of everyone.

Although it was not yet clear, it was quite intuitive what this delicacy was.

Seeing the whole process of the dish being made, a sense of surprise arose in everyone’s hearts.

It seemed that the protagonist of this delicacy should be the ground meat.

Was it really necessary to expend so much effort on the dough?

Comparatively, Ying Chao had already finished his Secret Lamb dish, and people even felt that this delicacy might not be as good as the Secret Lamb.

Could it be that this young man, who had shocked in the scoring competition, was about to lose in the elimination round?

This idea emerged in many of the audience’s minds.

On stage, Ying Chao, who had been standing for an hour and was beginning to feel a bit sore in his legs, lowered his head slightly with a joyful smile on his face.

Stable! This was a steady success!

It was obvious that Qin Lang had some problems choosing his dish, and the cooking process of this dish seemed to be a case of missing the woods for the trees.

The transparent mode was good, but sometimes it was a double-edged sword.

Mistakes made in the cooking process seen by the tasters would greatly discount their initial impressions of the dish.

It seemed that this time, he was quite lucky!

In the waiting area, Tian Jian couldn’t help but sigh and muttered to himself,

“It would be good if I could swap opponents with Ying Chao.”

In his view, Qin Lang obviously was off his game, and his performance in this match was not good.

If he had been matched against Qin Lang, maybe he would have advanced to the next round.

“Do you think Qin Lang’s dish is not going to make it?” Shen Qian, who had heard Tian Jian’s whispering, gave him a weird look.

“Isn’t it?” Facing Shen Qian, who had eliminated him, Tian Jian insisted with his neck stiff, “The focus of this dish is clearly the ground meat. Qin Lang spent two hours on the dough, clearly not knowing what’s the primary and what’s the secondary!”

The other contestants didn’t say anything, but their expressions showed some agreement, clearly having similar thoughts to Tian Jian.

Shen Qian’s expression became even more strange.

Looking at Tian Jian, she seemed to see her first-time impression of this dish.

“Just keep watching then.” She didn’t say any more, and focused on the competition.

This dish named Yanpi Flat Food was not as simple as it seemed!

“Hello, eleven Food Recommenders. The dish I bring you today is called Yanpi Flat Food.” Qin Lang bowed slightly, then opened his cooking cabinet.

Under Dan Bao’s control, small bowls flew out, landing in front of the eleven first-level Food Recommenders in the center of the stage.

Through high-definition close-ups on the electronic screen, the audience was also able to see more details of this dish, which they hadn’t noticed before.

The thin skin floating in the soup was like the illusory dress of a fairy, and the round ground meat inside made people want to take a bite. In the soup, there were strands of purplish-black seaweed and tiny dried shrimps, and the floating green onions added much color to this delicacy.

Although it didn’t look too flashy, this dish intuitively made people want to taste it.

For a moment, the sound of people swallowing their saliva faintly echoed in the audience seats.

“Please taste the Yanpi Flat Food prepared by contestant Qin Lang!” The host announced loudly.

“Qin Lang has earned three local Food Recommender Badges, respectively the Shell Badge, Wild Field Badge, and Laurel Badge. After tasting Qin Lang’s dish, please comment according to your respective badges!”

As the host finished his words, the eleven food recommenders exchanged looks and unanimously picked up their dining spoons, ready to taste the dish known as Yanpi Flat Food.

Hou Jun, correspondent of the Wild Field Badge, his assessment involved pork, beef, and mutton.

Hou Jun owned a vast wild field ranch at home, where he raised these three common livestock, and the assessment question was to choose one from the ranch to cook.

He had a deep impression of the young man in front of him.

A week ago, this young spiritual chef named Qin Lang came to visit him and won his approval with a Tomato Beef Brisket.

The cooking skills demonstrated in that Tomato Beef Brisket surpassed most spiritual chefs who had tested there, and Qin Lang’s past bright history made Hou Jun view this young man with new esteem.

Hence, at the start of the cooking competition, he took extra note of Qin Lang. In the previous scoring competition, the pasta called Dragon Beard Noodles that Qin Lang demonstrated startled many Food Recommenders and further affirmed to Hou Jun that this boy was extraordinary.

However, the dish named Yanpi Flat Food that Qin Lang cooked today left him slightly disappointed.

He carefully watched Qin Lang’s entire cooking process. There was a stark contrast between the hours-long La beating of the leg meat and the neat and tidy cooking process.

In comparison, it can’t help but give people a feeling that Qin Lang was neglecting the foundation for minor issues.

Was this feeling real?

Hou Jun scooped up a flat food with a dining spoon.

The answer will be revealed after tasting.

Without a hint of hesitation, he sent the flat food into his mouth, closed his eyes, and slowly chewed.

A moment later, Hou Jun’s eyes suddenly widened.

This…

What a miraculous taste this is!

The many folds on the surface of the flat food was filled with a great quantity of soup, which spread rapidly between the lips and teeth the moment it entered the mouth.

The soup had fresh taste from seaweed and the salty taste from dried shrimps, but the clearest was still the unique savory taste of pork.

The thin outer skin was exactly made of pork beaten for two hours. The long beating process had completely detached muscle fibers in pork but without breaking, just a bit of soaking in water and the savory taste would be fully released into the soup.

What’s even more wonderful was not just this.

The detached yet unbroken muscle fibers intertwined with the sweet potato starch mixed in the skin, giving the overall skin an astonishing elasticity and gluten-like texture, just like a lot of gluten was added into the wheat flour.

What a taste it was!

With only a little chewing, Hou Jun was dazzled, almost wanting to slam the table in astonishment.

While chewing, the even more savory soup hidden in the gap between the skin and the inner stuffing broke out and spilled in the mouth, bringing a sensational second layer of taste.

This portion of soup absorbed almost the entire delicacy of the skin and the stuffing throughout the cooking process, deeply touching Hou Jun’s soul.

But this was not the end of the surprise yet!

The stuffing of lean and fatty meat was tight while remaining exceptionally tender, offering a completely different texture from the elastic skin. These two textures intertwined during chewing, bringing a whole new level of depth to the Yanpi Flat Food.

Just one piece of Yanpi Flat Food brought one after another surprise. The fantastic feeling was like opening an ordinary-looking music box, only to discover it played a grand symphony.
