Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Banquet Invitation

Translator: 549690339

After brief casual conversation with Luo Hui, Qin Lang hung up the phone.

Yet his spirits were high and he was not the same as before the call.

“Gurgle-”

Having flown around the home getting a feel for its nooks and crannies, Dan Bao returned to Qin Lang’s side with an expectant look on its face.

Previously, when Qin Lang received the Food Recommender Badge, he would prepare a celebratory feast.

Now that he had won the city-level cooking contest and received an even higher Second-Level Food Recommender Badge, surely there ought to be another celebration, right?

So, there will be delicious food, right?

Spicy, who was nearby, also came over.

Although it hadn’t been part of the previous celebrations, upon hearing Dan Bao mention delicious food, it too perked up with interest.

“Indeed, we should celebrate.” Qin Lang hugged the two little fellows and relaxed into a smile. “Let’s give tonight a pass though. It’s a bit late now, and today with the cooking competition, the birth of a Food Spirit, and two Spirit Battles, I’m honestly a bit tired.”

“Tomorrow, let’s all celebrate our championship together!”

“Let me think about what we can do to celebrate.” He released the two Food Spirits and counted off on his fingers, “Mr. Fu Hang gave us a kilogram of beef short ribs last time, of which we still have half a kilogram left!”

“I initially thought to use it in cooking competitions but never had a chance to do so in any of the subsequent challenges.”

“So, we could have another barbecue.”

“In addition, we have cooking competition points as well.”

Qin Lang opened the Spirit Chef Association mobile app to his profile, where his cooking competition points showed a total of 100, a sight that gave him an expectant look.

“From what I understand, the points won in competitions are cumulative and can be used in higher level competitions later.”

“But spending these points doesn’t affect the total.”

“Competition points are divided into cooking competition points and training competition points, gained from two different types of competitions.”

“What they can be redeemed for also differs.”

“Cooking competition points can be exchanged for various rare and exotic ingredients, while training competition points can be used to acquire some resources that Food Spirits need for growth.”

Qin Lang stopped speaking for a moment, then looked at Dan Bao. “For example, we can redeem the Mind Stones we won earlier, which are hard to buy from the outside world, using training competition points.”

“Clack?”

Should we participate in the training competition, then?

Spicy, who was on the side, asked expectantly.

“With our current strength, we are just not ready.” Qin Lang shook his head. “Forget about the training competitions, even in the Youth Training Championship, we wouldn’t be able to achieve good results with our current strength.”

Seeing the discouraged look on Spicy’s face, he reassured it, “Don’t lose heart. Our strength will increase. If we have the opportunity to take part in training competitions in the future, we certainly won’t miss it.”

Spurred on by Qin Lang’s encouragement, Spicy’s ears gradually picked up, reviving its motivation.

“1 drifted off topic,” Qin Lang said, returning to the issue of cooking competition points. “The ingredients we can get by redeeming cooking competition points could give us a lot of advantages in Food Fights and other cooking competitions. So we need to save up some points just in case they are needed.”

“But we have 100 points which will last us a long time. So, let’s redeem some good stuff to celebrate our championship. For example…”

“These top-grade black tiger shrimps, caught off the coast of Yulan Province, and flown to the home within eight hours of being caught! They can be redeemed for one point per five kilograms!”

“Then there are these top-grade hairy crabs from Mengze Province. A female crab weighs as much as eight ounces, and you can get ten crabs with two points!”

“Besides those, there is this…”

Even though Qin Lang had perused the redemption list before, he didn’t have any points then.

But now, he had points to redeem!

For a chef, there was no greater happiness than this!

Meanwhile, the two Food Spirits, upon hearing about the delightful dishes Qin Lang planned to cook with these ingredients, drooled with anticipation.

“Hmm… Let’s control ourselves and only redeem ten points for now.”

Finally, with a decisive hammer of judgment, Qin Lang redeemed his most desired ingredients using ten points.

As for the remaining 90 points, let’s save them for now.

These ingredients are all fresh when delivered, and Dan Bao has the ability “Fresh Full”, which can ensure they are ready when needed.

Seeing the “Exchange Successful” on the screen, Qin Lang gives a hearty laugh.

“These ingredients will be delivered tomorrow morning, we will have a feast tomorrow!”

“Gurgle!”

“Chuckle!”

The two Food Spirits are infected by Qin Lang’s happiness. Thinking that there will be a variety of delicious food tomorrow, they start cheering.

“Ding dong!”

Before the man and two spirits could finish their cheering, an alert sound came from the phone.

This sound is different from the previous ringtone, it’s the notification sound for a new email.

“Is Uncle Luo Hui sending me another email?” Qin Lang curiously opens the email to check and his face shows surprise, “It’s not from Uncle Luo Hui.”

The email was sent from Zhen Niu Pavilion’s official account.

The title of this email instantly piques Qin Lang’s interest.

[Zhen Niu Pavilion Beef Tasting Banquet Invitation]

He remembers that when he was looking into Zhen Niu Pavilion, he indeed heard about such a banquet.

During the elimination competition, Mr. Fu Hang also said that he would invite him to the next Beef Tasting Banquet.

But receiving an invitation on the night of the end of the city-level cooking competition, couldn’t help but make Qin Lang admire Mr. Fu Hang’s efficient way of doing things.

As Qin Lang opens the email, a high-quality electronic invitation pops up.

As he starts reading, Dan Bao and Spicy quickly gather around.

Despite recognizing some of the characters, the densely packed text in the invitation still leaves Dan Bao somewhat perplexed.

Let alone Spicy, who doesn’t recognize any characters at all.

Still, the two Food Spirits acted as if they understood everything, looking very involved. They even glance at each other occasionally to see who looked more authentic.

[Dear Spirit Chef Qin Lang:

We sincerely invite you to the annual Beef Tasting Banquet held by Zhen Niu Pavilion. At this banquet, Mr. Fu Hang will present the best beef to everyone, and together, we will experience the charm of the top grade beef.

The banquet is scheduled for three days from now, and we look forward to your presence.

Zhen Niu Pavilion]

“Three days later… the best beef…” Qin Lang rubbed his chin, “That seems to be better quality meat than our beef short ribs.”

“Gurgle!”

We must go!

Dan Bao rubbed against Qin Lang, with anticipation on its face.

The beef short ribs are already so delicious, what would better quality beef taste like?

Let it have a taste to evaluate!

“Of course we will go.” Qin Lang nodded, “Such an event is not to be missed, and also… Lei Ke must have received an invitation as well, right?”

He suddenly thought of Fu Hang mentioning during this afternoon’s competition that Lei Ke would also be invited.

If he were to run into Lei Ke at the Beef Tasting Banquet, he could actually ask for advice on how to earn other Second-Level Food Recommender Badges.
