Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Song Hui’s Test

Translator: 549690339

After some casual conversation, the business day of Starlight Restaurant began.

In the back kitchen, Qin Lang started to get busy. Outside the restaurant door, Du Weiwei, Qi Xiaoyu, and Zhao Chen entered the restaurant together.

The two women had already booked their Steamed Bass for the day before and their intention was to learn from Qin Lang’s cooking skills.

As for Zhao Chen, he couldn’t resist ordering the bass after he saw the two ladies’ reservation.

The three people who had gotten to know each other sat together at the same table.

Waiting for the Steamed Bass to come up, Qi Xiaoyu teased with a giggle, “I’m guessing he didn’t agree to fight with you, did he?”

“No, he agreed!” Zhao Chen smirked, with a “you guessed wrong” expression.

“What?” Qi Xiaoyu blinked, looking somewhat surprised, “When did you wrestle with him? Surely it wasn’t last night!”

“Indeed.” Zhao Chen nodded with pride.

Looking at his expression, Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help but ask, “Did you win?”

Du Weiwei, sitting on the side, also pricked up her ears at this point.

“Qin Lang won.” Zhao Chen sighed, “He is indeed my arch-rival, even though my Food Spirit and 1 have become stronger through prolonged training, we still just fell short.”

“But! I believe I won’t lose the next time!” Confidence filled his eyes.

Qi Xiaoyu:”…”

Du Weiwei:”…”

Why did this sound so familiar?

The attention of the three was quickly drawn by the three servings of Steamed Bass that were brought up, and they stopped discussing the previous topic.

Looking at the dish in front of her, distinctively different from the Red Braised Oxtail, Du Weiwei expressed surprise in her eyes. She shared part with her Food Spirit and then placed a piece in her mouth with her chopsticks.

After just one bite, the astonishment in her eyes couldn’t be dispelled.

No wonder he could have earned the Fish Scale Badge, this fish dish was too delicious!

On the side, Qi Xiaoyu and Zhao Chen were also not faring any better, they were completely engulfed by the dish.

By the time Qin Lang came out of the kitchen after midday cooking, Du Weiwei and the others had already left.

After saying hello to Luo Hui, he and Dan Bao, following the instructions on his phone map, headed to Daisy Garden.

On the way, Dan Bao, with a curious tilt of his little head, nudged Qin Lang. “Gududulu?”

The Food Recommender in Daisy Garden, Song Hui, seemed to be testing desserts.

So was the dish to be prepared this time the Caramel Pudding from last time?

If a Caramel Pudding was to be made, his full firepower was already ready!

Dan Bao was hopping up and down in excitement and anticipation in mid-air.

“Not sure, after all, we don’t know what kind of challenge the other party will pose.” Qin Lang stroked Dan Bao’s big ears, “But the dessert made this time will definitely not be worse than Caramel Pudding.”

Upon hearing these words, Dan Bao’s ears twitched and anticipation surfaced on his face.

If the dessert used for the test was delicious, he must make Qin Lang make a few more servings!

He had to try some too!

“Don’t worry, I’ll make an extra serving for you,” Qin Lang smiled knowingly, seemingly guessing Dan Bao’s little thoughts.

Hooray!

Dan Bao wagged his big tail briskly and quickly caught up.

A moment later, they stopped their steps.

Daisy Garden was right in front of their eyes.

From a distance, the Daisy Garden looked like a crystal palace, built entirely of translucent glass. Inside, it was like spring all year round, filled with a wide variety of flowers in all colors, many of which were too unique to be named.

As Qin Lang approached, a mix of flower fragrances rushed up to meet him. “Gulp!”

Unable to resist, Dan Bao took a big sniff, a blissful smile spreading across his face.

So fragrant!

“Let’s go, we have to ring the bell,” Qin Lang said, pressing the doorbell gently.

Shortly, a figure emerged from inside.

Recognizing the familiar figure instantly, he widened his eyes in surprise.

It’s her?!

Despite the dim light the previous night, which hadn’t allowed him a clear look, the woman’s unique presence stood out like a bright lamp in the dark, enabling Qin Lang to easily recognize her.

Wasn’t this Su Zhi’s mother from last night?

Could she possibly be the Food Recommender, Song Hui?!

The woman also found Qin Lang slightly familiar and after a moment, she recognised, “You’re the young man from last night, right?”

“It’s me,” Qin Lang nodded.

“Welcome, please come in,” the woman revealed a slight smile, opening the door, “Our meeting was quite rushed yesterday, 1 should have invited you over to our place. But how did you find this place?”

“Actually, I intended to visit Ms. Song Hui, the Food Recommender, today. 1 had no idea you lived here,” Qin Lang paused slightly before asking, “Are you…” “I am Song Hui.” A look of surprise crossed Song Hui’s face, “What a pleasant coincidence.”

In the conversation, they had already stepped into the Daisy Garden.

From the inside, the Daisy Garden was even more beautiful. Flowers of various hues beautifully adorned the place, making it seem like a sea of flowers.

In the very center of the Daisy Garden stood an exquisite western-style house.

“Since you are here to undertake the challenge to earn the Food Recommender Badge, then let’s prepare for the test at my house,” Song Hui spoke softly, “Zhi Zhi is also at home, she will be delighted to see you.”

“Alright,” Qin Lang nodded, then realising the complex expression on Song Hui’s face, he curiously asked, “Ms. Song, how is Su Zhi doing now?”

“She is still upset with me,” Song Hui sighed lightly, “How embarrassing.”

“No worries,” Qin Lang shook his head, recalling Su Zhi’s words from the night before, he couldn’t help but speak, “Ms. Song, perhaps if you could manage to spend more time with her despite being busy, things might improve?”

“But the Daisy Garden needs my attention, and as a Food Recommender, there is also plenty of official work to do,” Song Hui’s voice was laced with helplessness, “The garden was initially just a hobby and 1 hadn’t expected it to grow this large.”

“I can’t bring myself to entrust the care of these flowers to anyone else.”

“I see,” Qin Lang nodded understandingly.

Both mother and daughter have it tough.

“Please come in,” Song Hui said, opening the door of the house.

“Pardon the intrusion,” Qin Lang responded, slipping off his shoes and stepping inside.

Upon entering the villa, he saw Su Zhi sitting at the dining table, eating some unknown dessert with an unhappy expression.

Hearing the noise, Su Zhi turned her head towards the entrance, her face registering surprise.

She jumped off the stool and ran over to Qin Lang, “Big Brother Qin Lang, why are you here?”

“It’s a beautiful coincidence,” Qin Lang chuckled, and began to explain what had transpired.

Watching Su Zhi’s spirits lift instantly upon seeing Qin Lang, Song Hui’s eyes brightened, and she gently asked, “Zhi Zhi, are you willing to be a part of your Big Brother Qin Lang’s test?”

“Of course!”

Although she was still upset with her mother, Su Zhi nodded without hesitation.

“In that case,” Song Hui turned to Qin Lang, “your challenge is to make a dessert that will cheer Zhi Zhi up..”
