Chapter 122: The Mountaintop
"Uncle, give me two copies of this."
"Okay! Hold on! ”
The tall stall owner laughed and began to make the food in his hand with his hands and feet.
Qin Lang watched quietly as the stall owner placed a ball of dough in a frying pan with hot thin oil, then quickly flattened it into a cake shape and wrapped it in fillings and sauces.
A few minutes later, a double-sided golden pancake was ready, which was divided into small pieces by the stall owner with a shovel, wrapped in paper and handed to Qin Lang.
The stall owner then started making the second one.
This delicacy, called "Fuxiang Cake", has a cooking step that is so simple that there is no need to hide it, but from the rich and complex aroma coming from the paper bag he received, Qin Lang can guess that the sauce added must be the stall owner's secret recipe.
After using a wooden skewer to string out two compound incense cakes from the paper bag and send them to the two small mouths that were already drooling on the side, Qin Lang smiled and also strung one piece into his mouth.
The baking soda added to the dough makes the inside of the compound cake show a loose and soft structure, and the soda ash formed by its thermal decomposition adds a bit of alkaline taste to the compound cake, which not only does not make its flavor decrease, but also adds a lot of color.
The complex fillings and sauces of various flavors are completely blended with the dough as you chew it, and there is a feeling that the starch is changing from moment to moment as the salivary amylase breaks down the starch.
It's really a delicacy that should not be underestimated.
Looking at the food spirit flying next to the uncle, Qin Lang couldn't help but be curious, "Uncle, the origin food of your food spirit should be the compound fragrance cake, right?" ”
"Exactly!" The uncle laughed, "Secretly tell you a little secret, every vendor on this food street, the origin of the food spirit is his best dish!" ”
Seeing that this uncle had a "secret" in one mouth, but he didn't lower his voice at all, Qin Lang smiled dumbly.
It's really funny.
"Qin Lang, look what delicious I found!"
After queuing in front of another stall for a while, Qi Xiaoyu, who finally bought another delicacy, pulled Du Weiwei over with a smile, took another compound incense cake from the stall owner, and then handed the extra delicacies he bought to Qin Lang.
Along the way, they all shared the food they found with each other.
"I'm not bad about this, try it!"
Zhao Chen on the other side also returned soon after, bringing another delicacy that he felt he liked very much.
The four of them just talked and laughed as they walked deeper into the food court.
It's bound to be an interesting culinary journey.
…
"Ah~ so supportive!"
Touching his round belly, a little satisfaction appeared on Zhao Chen's face.
The fluttering sheep lazily landed on his shoulder, nodding in approval with its delicate curved horns.
Not far away, Qin Lang's three people and the five food spirits were no better than them.
It's the norm to wander all the way down the streets full of food.
"I looked at the navigation, and we were only a third of the way through the food court." Du Weiwei looked at the food street area that had not yet arrived, and her face was a little more expectant, "It seems that in the next time, we don't have to worry about what to eat." ”
"Let's go, when you're full, just walk back to the hotel, and it's time for a walk." Qin Lang smiled and turned his head to look at Zhao Chen on the side, "By the way, when will tomorrow's finals start?" ”
"Two o'clock in the afternoon!"
At the mention of this, Zhao Chen suddenly came to his senses.
"There are four finals, the first to determine the seventh and eighth places, the second to determine the fifth and sixth places, and the third to determine the third and fourth places, and then the most anticipated championship battles, and tickets for these four games are sold separately."
"And which one did you buy?" Qi Xiaoyu on the side couldn't help but speak.
"The last championship battle, of course!" Zhao Chen spoke without hesitation, "The other games can be watched after the game, but the championship battle should not be missed!" ”
"I told you that this one is the most difficult to buy tickets, and I have to be fast, and I have already bought the tickets before the trial!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Chen showed an expression of "praise me".
"The battle for the championship of the state-level training event..."
Qin Lang couldn't help but have a little expectation on his face.
He really wanted to see what kind of strength the powerful Imperial Spirit Chef had.
…
As soon as the time turned, it was the next day.
The four of them set off early, took the cable car to the top of Bailu Mountain, and headed towards the top of the mountain.
The city quickly receded below them, replaced by lush forests in which a variety of animal activity could be faintly seen.
As the cable car continues upwards, the forest begins to evolve into more hardy bushes, and the snow and jungle begin to blend, and you can vaguely see elf-like white deer leaping in an environment where the two are intertwined.
This is also the origin of the name of White Deer Mountain.
Here, the white deer is regarded as the spirit of the snow-capped mountains.
Continuing up, when the trace of the white deer was completely out of sight, what caught my eye was a super-large building that occupied most of the mountaintop.
It is like a ship sailing, refracting the icy light of the façade in the unobstructed sunlight.
The only state-level event venue in Tianhua State, the White Deer Mountain Arena, has arrived.
The cable car has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is naturally to be able to enjoy the scenery of White Deer Mountain, and the disadvantage is that the speed is very slow.
Even if they set off early, it was already around one o'clock at noon when Qin Lang and the four of them arrived at the White Deer Mountain Arena, and it was not far from the time to enter the arena.
The careful Du Weiwei anticipated this situation and prepared food for the four of them to cushion their stomachs at noon, and after eating, they quickly found the corresponding seats.
Thanks to Zhao Chen's blessing, they not only have tickets, but also have a very ideal position to watch the game.
"Wow! Is that where the two sides play? Qi Xiaoyu stared at a large area in the center of the arena with wide eyes, "This is much bigger than the Dongxia Arena." ”
"That's right, such a large competition venue is only prepared for the battle of the two Imperial Spirit Chefs." Zhao Chen nodded, with an expectant look on his face, "One day, I will also stand in such a venue, or even a bigger venue!" ”
Although Du Weiwei on the side did not speak, the look in her eyes revealed that she was similar to Zhao Chen's thoughts.
"Chaka!"
I'm going to fight in such a venue, too!
Spicy's eyes lit up, and her face showed an expectant look.
"No problem." Qin Lang rubbed its head with a calm expression.
Collect five Local's Level 2 Referrer badges and he'll be able to compete in the state's culinary competition.
Don't forget, cooking competitions take place here, too.
As time went on, more and more people entered the audience to sit in the audience.
Unlike the four Qin Lang who came to watch the game unprepared, among these spectators, there were lanterns and other eye-catching items with the names "Zhou Tianhao" or "Zhang Sheng" written everywhere.
These two are the players who are about to compete for the championship and runner-up.
