“Here’s your Seafood Medley with Sauce. Enjoy.”

Qin Lang packaged the gravy seafood and handed it over to Little Orange.

Receiving the hefty dish, Little Orange started fretting inwardly.

Even though it wasn’t the main course, wouldn’t she be full after consuming all this seafood?

However, Little Orange quickly devised a plan.

This dish was unlike the Crab Roe Fried Rice she had earlier. It was meant to be eaten cold and had been marinated in the sauce by the boss.

While her cooking skills might not be the best, she was still aware of some basic knowledge.

A dish like this, as long as it doesn’t go bad, would taste even better as time passes.

Of course, she couldn’t resist tasting a bit, as she needed to showcase it to her live streaming audience.

“Wow! What a large portion!” With a plan in mind, Little Orange widened her eyes in amazement. Upon opening the package, she held it up close to the camera, “As usual, viewers eat first!”

After seeing how much they missed out earlier, not many viewers were questioning the 100-yuan-per-jin price before seeing the dish. The moment the Gravy Seafood took over most of the screen, such doubts ceased to exist.

For habitual food guests, the freshness of seafood is distinguishable at a glance. The various ingredients being identified in the sauce made everyone commend the fair dealing by Qin Lang.

Of course, amidst this, the envious and salivating comments were inevitable. “Alright, I’ll help you all taste it- ” Little Orange quickly picked up a creamy piece of food, partially immersed in the sauce, expressing her surprise, “Wow! That’s a huge oyster!”

Oyster is a unique ingredient.

Its freshness can be instantly determined.

The longer its death time, the more its flesh will shrink after cooking.

Only the freshest oysters can present such full meat.

The oyster meat picked up by Little Orange was almost ten centimetres long, swollen like a water-filled balloon, and heavy. Sauce flowed over its creamy surface, making it delicious-looking at just one glance.

On the other side of the live streaming room, countless viewers salivated involuntarily.

This was…too tempting!

“You have to eat an oyster in one bite!” Little Orange shrieked like a foodie, before proceeding to shove the massive oyster into her mouth in one go.

Her puffed-up cheeks bulged as she chewed, making her resemble a cute little hamster.

As she chewed, Little Orange experienced an unprecedentedly wonderful taste.

The salty and spicy sauces, with a hint of lemon sourness, immediately made the overall flavour refreshing and appetising. There was not a hint of fishiness to the oyster. It was an amazing sweetness of the ocean and the meat that came as a pleasant surprise.

These flavours intermingled, making her involuntarily squint her eyes, again revealing that intoxicated and blissful expression.

With her cheeks still puffed up, she looked even cuter.

Thus, the live streaming room was again flooded with a wave of comments.

“Alright!” Having enjoyed the oyster magnificently, Little Orange closed the takeaway box and confidently declared, “A dish like this has to be savoured slowly, so let’s move on to the next one!”

“Boss, both of your dishes were delicious. Keep up the good work!” She flashed

Qin Lang a sweet smile and briskly moved onto the next stall.

Qin Lang nodded in response and resumed serving the next food guest.

He wondered about the popularity of this live streamer and if her broadcast could bring more customers to his stall in advance.

However, Qin Lang wasn’t too concerned, as he was just giving it a shot.

Even without extra customer flow, he was confident that his cooking skills would make a name for him in three days.

During his practice stall set-up, it only took him one night to become the most popular stall on Food Street, unmatched by any other stall for the next nine days.

“I’ll have one jin of Gravy Seafood.”

“Just a moment!”

South-west of Jumping Fish Lake, on Jinhua Pier.

As one of the twelve piers tasked with transporting visitors back and forth for the Leaping Fish Banquet, the entrance was burgeoning with people.

After the first batch of food guests departed, the crowd at the pier did not reduce but continued to grow with time.

With the first wave of guests, more specific details about the Leaping Fish Banquet spread out.

Some live streamers like Little Orange broadcasted the grandeur of the Leaping Fish Banquet, while some media reporters who were part of the first boarding group were already publishing news articles.

Beyond that, ordinary food guests played a significant role in spreading the influence of the Leaping Fish Banquet.

Upon seeing these delicious and exquisite dishes that were usually hard to come by, not sharing a post in their social circle would be a shame!

From one to ten, and ten to a hundred, these prospective passengers already had quite the understanding of the Leaping Fish Banquet.

And after understanding came endless anticipation.

“Old Zhou, a while ago I discovered an awesome stall, which is currently at the Leaping Fish Banquet.” Yan Chao patted the shoulder of another man standing next to him in the crowd, “I must have you taste his cooking this time!”

“You’ve been chanting cheers for this stall in my ear several times.” The other man laughed heartily, “Fine, I will taste it later.”

However, I still don’t believe that the food he makes can be compared to the stall I experienced.”

“You’ll know once you try.” Yan Chao answered with a smile, full of confidence.

Over the past nine days, he had bought a jin of Seafood Medley with Sauce from Qin Lang’s stall every day, and, of course, accompanying it was always the Crab Roe Fried Rice.

Even after eating it for ten consecutive days, he wasn’t tired of it at all.

Qin Lang’s cooking skills had long conquered him.

The man standing beside him now was his close friend of many years, named Zhou Wan.

The two’s friendship had a close tie with food. Like Yan Chao, Zhou Wan also enjoyed tasting various dishes.

After first tasting the two dishes cooked by Qin Lang ten days ago, an impressed Yan Chao immediately shared the good news with his good friend and invited him to taste the delicacies at Qin Lang’s stall together.

Unluckily, Zhou Wan declined.

Zhou Wan lived in another district which already had several large food streets. With the announcement of the rules for the Leaping Fish Banquet, several new stalls appeared overnight.

It was impossible for Zhou Wan to have enough time to taste all the stalls, let alone travel a long distance to Yan Chao’s area.

In fact, he even invited Yan Chao to Tas his neighbourhood food street because there was a stall owner named Qi Xian, whose cooking was incredibly impressive to him.

Now that the Leaping Fish Banquet was here and all the stalls were on the Yueyu Cruise Ship, the two decided to join together and assess which stall they each recommended was superior.

“Woo—”

The long whistle of the ship marked the next ferry docking.

Both of them boarded the ship one after the other.
