Chapter 281: Into the Forest

"I support Boss Xiao Qin!"

"Snail noodles are the best!"

"I also vote for Boss Xiao Qin!"

"Don't say anything, you have to be Boss Xiao Qin!"

"Although this vote is meaningless, I vote for Boss Xiao Qin!"

As the five young people announced their choice after tasting two delicacies, the contest between Qin Lang and Shen Qian once again ended in Qin Lang's victory.

For this result, Shen Qian, who tasted the snail noodles, was not too surprised, but had a further understanding of Qin Lang's recipe.

This pervert has mastered even such a remote delicacy!

"It's strange, at first I felt completely unacceptable to smell the snail noodles, but after eating it, I thought it was fragrant, why is that?"

A girl named Kong Rao in the group of five smelled the residual smell of snail powder in the air around her, and her face showed a confused look, "Could it be that the fragrance of snail powder will change?" ”

"No, the taste of snail noodles is the same." Qin Lang smiled.

He thought of a statement from his previous life, which could just explain the current situation.

"When you haven't eaten snail noodles, what you smell is the real taste of snail noodles, but after eating snail noodles, the smell you smell is not real."

"Unreal? How so? Shen Qian became interested.

"After you have eaten snail noodles, your brain will associate the memory of the smell of snail noodles with the memories of the umami and taste you feel when you taste them, and integrate them into the concept of 'snail noodles'." Qin Lang smiled mysteriously.

"In this way, any kind of memory point related to it is triggered, and it will be associated with other memory points."

"Even if you don't taste it, just smell the snail flour, it will automatically fill in the relevant information about the taste and texture of the snail flour, making it more three-dimensional."

"So after eating snail noodles and then smelling the snail noodles, you will feel that the smell has changed and become more fragrant."

"It's not the smell that's actually changing, it's the smell that comes to mind the deliciousness of the snail noodles, which counteracts the resistance to the smell."

"I see!" Shen Qian suddenly said, "When I first ate the strange balls, I also felt that the smell was unacceptable, but after eating it once, I didn't feel this feeling at all, it turned out that my brain deceived me." ”

The other five also showed thoughtful expressions, obviously understanding because of Qin Lang's words.

"But actually..."Looking at the six people who suddenly came to their senses, Qin Lang's voice changed, "It's okay to say this the other way around just now, the smell you smelled at the beginning was fake, and the smell you smell now is real." ”

Shen Qian: "??? ”

Five: "??? ”

Even the two little ones who were eavesdropping on the side were surprised when they heard Qin Lang's sudden turn.

"A food stimulates the senses of the taster in three aspects: sight, smell and taste, and if you distinguish between texture and taste, then add touch."

Qin Lang paused, "I think this is the dimension of food, and only by peeking at different aspects can we see the whole picture of a food." ”

"Food is incomplete just from one aspect."

"So you can associate the taste, taste and appearance of snail noodles from the smell, and what you smell is the real taste of snail noodles?" Sun Yan answered.

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded slightly, and then showed a look of embarrassment, "This is just my personal opinion, maybe it's biased..."

"Nope! I think it's a good idea! Shen Qian interrupted him, his eyes lit up, as if there was light hidden in them, "There are many delicacies that are not valued because of some flaws, but as long as you try them once, you will find that they are unique." ”

"It's like snail noodles that smell bad and eat fragrant!" Lan Le nodded approvingly, Shen Qian's words couldn't have been more agreeable to him who likes to hunt for curiosities.

"Ahem, having said that, don't try everything, after all, you're not Shennong." Qin Lang coughed lightly and felt the need to remind him.

"What is Shennong?"

"It's not important."

After lunch, the five-person group had a friendly exchange with Qin Lang and Shen Qian.

Everyone is a chef and a food lover, and the topic of food can be discussed for three days and three nights.

It wasn't until night fell and everyone ate a hot pot cooked by Qin Lang together that the five-person group said goodbye embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Boss Xiao Qin, for your hospitality." The faces of the five-member group led by Sun Yan were full of joy.

Meeting their idols on the boat, not only tasting each other's cooking, but also learning a lot from the exchange, such an opportunity is really rare for them.

Moreover, Qin Lang, an excellent imperial spirit chef, was so approachable in private, which also surprised them.

"Whether it's snail noodles at noon or hot pot at night, it's a delicacy I've never eaten before!" Kong Rao looked quite excited, "It's amazing! ”

"I still stick to the original idea, if the bottom of the hot pot is snail noodles, then this thing is simply cool and spicy!" Lan Ledao.

He had the idea of combining the two at dinner, and although others thought it was an evil way, he still insisted on it.

"Hmm..."Qin Lang touched his chin.

He had really seen snail noodle hot pot in his previous life, but it was indeed a bit anti-human, so it was better not to take it out.

"Alright, alright, let's go!" Sun Yan coughed lightly, grabbed Lan Le before the other friends complained, and then waved his hand at Qin Lang and Shen Qian, "If Boss Xiao Qin and Miss Shen Qian come to Xiyun City, please be sure to let me do my landlord's friendship." ”

"Okay." For each other's kindness, neither of them refused.

When the group of five left, Shen Qian clasped her hands on her chest, revealing a thoughtful look, "Qin Lang, I feel..."

"What?"

"The combination of snail noodles and hot pot may be really good?"

"No talk!"

Early the next morning, the "Liuyun" cruise ship greeted the morning light and slowly approached a somewhat primitive and simple wharf from the center of the Beiqiu River.

The reason for this is that this pier is different from the rest, and most of it, whether it is the boarding gate or the other place, is wooden.

Primitive, because outside of this pier, there is not a trace of human architecture as far as the eye can see.

It's lush and full of trees.

"This is Lanqiu Forest."

Qin Lang left the dock side by side with Shen Qian with his travel bag, looking at the primeval forest in front of him, feeling the fresh earthy smell on his face, and showing expectant eyes.

"It's not far from Yuehu City, but it's my first time here." Shen Qian looked around and grinned, "I traveled alone before and didn't dare to come." ”

"Don't worry, I have experience in the wild." Qin Lang was quite confident.

"Will it be too late to check in your luggage to Lanqiu City?"

"Rest assured, if nothing else, it will arrive faster than we do."
