“This chicken roll is done quite well.”

Randomly sitting on the soft grass in the jungle, Qin Lang picked up a delicacy that looked somewhat like a hand-held pancake. After taking a few bites, he nodded with satisfaction.

The diced chicken filled every part of the roll, creating a delightfully satisfying blend. The slightly crispy texture of the roll, coupled with the juicy chicken inside, provided an unparalleled sensation of satisfaction with every bite.

Try this one?” The dish prepared by Shen Qian received Qin Lang’s approval, putting her in an even better mood. She handed over another dish she had prepared with a beaming smile, “Thousand-layer Honey Cake.”

“Dessert?” Qin Lang picked up a piece, took a bite, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, “I didn’t expect you to be skilled at desserts.”

“I wouldn’t say I’m particularly skilled.” Shen Qian said with a chuckle, “In Yue Hu City, I underwent three tests by first-level food recommenders in order to participate in a city-level cooking competition. One of the exams was about desserts.”

I prepared for that for quite a long time, and after my dessert got approved, the first-level food recommender gave me many tips on making desserts.” “So I sometimes make some desserts myself. After all, the smell of baking desserts is a pleasant thing.”

“Indeed.” Qin Lang nodded in agreement.

The two chatted while feasting. After a while, the sparrows and the fish were properly marinated.

This time, Qin Lang did not ask Spicy to accelerate the cooking.

An occasional wait could also be a relaxing experience.

“Now, let me show you my skills.” After inspecting the ingredients, Qin Lang nodded with satisfaction, turned to Shen Qian and gave her a smile.

“Sure.” Shen Qian showed an anticipation, “Are we going to grill fish or sparrows first?”

“Let’s grill both together.”

As Qm Lang said this, he skewered the sparrow and the fish separately onto the prepared wooden sticks.

The long wooden sticks were diagonally inserted into the soft soil, with the top converging into a cone-like shape.

“Dan Bao, light the fire!”

“Gulu!”

Understood!

Dan Bao opened its mouth and spit out a flame. Under its exquisite control, a flame appeared in the middle of the cone, evenly roasting each side of the ingredients.

There was a hint of excitement on its face. After all, the last time it used Full Firepower to help Qin Lang grill meat was a month ago in Dongxia City.

“You really use the Food Spirit’s Combat Skill as a cooking method.” Seeing this, Shen Qian couldn’t help but roll her eyes, and an envious look appeared on her face.

She wasn’t particularly interested in the battles of Food Spirits. She was more focused on culinary arts. If she could, she would also like to use her own Food Spirit’s Combat Skills as cooking methods.

However, unlike Qin Lang, the Combat Skills of her two Food Spirits did not suit cooking.

Since she did not participate in the training competition, she couldn’t obtain training competition points and could not exchange them for Skill Stones to get more suitable Combat Skills.

Obtaining Skill Stones from other channels was too expensive, so Shen Qian did not consider it either.

So, she could only play it by ear.

But soon afterwards, Shen Qian stopped thinking about these things.

Because Qin Lang started doing something new.

While Dan Bao was stably controlling the flame and roasting the food, he stood up, scooped out some water from a nearby stream, and started mixing various seasonings. It appeared he was creating a special blend.

What are you doing?” Seeing that Qin Lang wasn’t trying to hide his actions, Shen Qian directly asked, “Why are you also using maltose?”

“I’m making a special seasoning.” Qin Lang paused for a moment, “Calling it a seasoning is a bit inaccurate. In addition to adding flavor, it greatly changes the appearance of the ingredients.”

Shen Qian looked puzzled at his words.

“This is Crispy Skin Water!” Qin Lang laughed heartily as he saw the confused

Shen Qian, “As for its use, you’ll see in a bit.”

He added just the right amount of white sugar, maltose, vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda to the clear water, stirring it evenly as a large quantity of bubbles emerged. Holding a brush, Qin Lang carried the just prepared Crispy Skin Water towards the food that’s being roasted.

“I’m curious to see what trick you have up your sleeve.” Shen Qian followed with a joyful smile on her face, full of anticipation.

Since Qin Lang did not disguise his actions, and there were no major difficulties in preparing the Crispy Skin Water, she already remembered most of it after just one look.

The skin of the sparrow that had been roasted was shrinking due to Dan Bao controlling the fire to a mild degree under Qin Lang’s instruction. At this stage, the skin was still elastic and not burnt.

Qin Lang nodded in satisfaction, removed the sparrow, directly soaked it in the prepared Crispy Skin Water, removed it after a moment, and put it back in its original place.

The sparrow, now layered with the Crispy Skin Water, had a light brown gloss, but it was not yet clearly visible. Shen Qian rested her cheek on her hand, her face full of curiosity.

“Dan Bao, intensify the heat.”

As Qm Lang’s voice fell, the roasting flames suddenly rose, becoming more vigorous and emitting waves of heat.

Under the coverage of this intense heat, the food seemed to be in a roasting oven, its appearance quickly transforming.

The surface of the roasted fish visibly turned brown at an alarming speed. Simultaneously, a savory roasted fish aroma emerged gradually, exploding from light to strong.

Moreover, there’s the even more astonishing sparrow on the side.

“How can this be?!” Shen Qian’s eyes gradually widened, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

She initially thought that the sparrow would be like the roasted fish, with brown burn marks appearing on its surface, and the skin gradually contract until it was inseparable from the meat.

But the actual situation was completely different from what she imagined.

Under the flaming roast, the light brown color on the surface of the sparrow quickly deepened into a vivid and tantalizing reddish-brown, reflecting a bright luster under the sun.

The skin of the sparrow did not shrink at all, but instead became more smooth and integrated during the roasting process.

It wasn’t until a slightly sweet scent of roasted sparrow entered Shen Qian’s nostrils that she suddenly came back to her senses, looking at Qin Lang in astonishment.

“Is this the effect of the Crispy Skin Water?!”

That’s right.” Qin Lang, smelling the fragrance lingering in the air, swallowed, “This is the effect of the Crispy Skin Water.”

He had not roasted sparrows in his previous life, but he had roasted pigeons, and the two were not too different.

The key to making Crispy Roasted Pigeon lies in the marinade and Crispy Skin Water.

Smelling this familiar aroma now, he knew, it was perfect!

“Um… I want to eat!” Shen Qian couldn’t help but swallow, then suddenly thought of something, “Wait, won’t the strong aroma in the forest attract some dangerous beast?”

“If more food comes our way? That would be even better.” Qin Lang spoke with a beaming smile.

Meanwhile, not far from the two, in the depths of the dense forest.

A robust man carrying a roe deer paused, suddenly sniffed the air, and stopped in his tracks.

“What’s that smell?”
