“Thank you, Mr. Zhou Qing.”

Qin Lang expressed his sincere gratitude.

Only then did he realize that Mr. Zhou Qing had changed his mind and planned to take him along after learning that the Leaping Fish Banquet had undergone new changes.

“There’s no need to thank me,”

Zhou Qing said with a smile.

“Under the new rules of the Leaping Fish Banquet, a new platform will be provided for Spirit Chefs under the age of 25 to showcase their abilities, and I don’t know many Spirit Chefs under 25 who are good at cooking fish dishes.” “I was wondering whether you would be available given this sudden notice, but as it turns out, you just finished your travels in Qingyang City.”

“Such an important opportunity, even if I have other things, I would temporarily delay them.” Qin Lang said earnestly, “Mr. Zhou Qing, what do I need to prepare for the new stage of the Leaping Fish Banquet?”

“Hmm..” Zhou Qing stroked his chin, “This kind of change is a first for the Leaping Fish Banquet, so I’m not sure about the specifics, but one thing is for sure.”

“The Leaping Fish Banquet is the most important culinary event in Mingjing Province, and its theme hasn’t changed over the years: to explore more possibilities for seafood ingredients.”

“So the type of dishes you are good at, may all be useful.” Zhou Qing smiled, “Both river and sea seafood are acceptable.”

“I see,” Qin Lang nodded.

“Don’t be too nervous, there are still 20 days till the Leaping Fish Banquet.” Zhou Qing paused for a moment, “That should be plenty of time to familiarize yourself with the Banquet.”

“20 days?” Qin Lang blinked.

He had thought that Zhou Qing would set off tomorrow, and that the Leaping Fish Banquet would start in just a few days.

It seems that there’s quite a lot of time.

“Could it be that the venue for the Leaping Fish Banquet is quite far from Dongxia City?” Qin Lang couldn’t help but be curious.

“That’s not the case.” Zhou Qing stroked his chin, “While it is in Mingjing Province, the venue for the Leaping Fish Banquet is located in Yuehu City, more specifically on Jumping Fish Lake.”

“Jumping Fish Lake?” Qin Lang quickly recalled the corresponding knowledge in his mind.

Jumping Fish Lake, one of the Twin Pearls of the South of the Samiya region.

The so-called Twin Pearls of the South are two extremely large lakes located in the southern part of the Samiya region, with the other located in Wuhe State, adjacent to Mingjing Province.

Jumping Fish Lake is located in Yuehu City, and just this lake alone occupies half the area of the city, with abundant aquatic resources.

The most important thing, though, is its geographical location.

The Xiayun River flows southward and eventually converges into Jumping Fish Lake, from which three tributaries flow into the sea.

Leaving from Dongxia City, you only need to pass through Miredi City to reach Jumping Fish Lake.

“The reason 1 want to leave twenty days in advance is twofold,” Zhou Qing explained, “Firstly, I plan to take a cruise ship to Jumping Fish Lake.” “A cruise ship?” Qin Lang was shocked for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

Even in his previous life, he had few opportunities to travel by boat.

Take a cruise down the Xiayun River to Jumping Fish Lake?

That sounds like fun!

And since the cruise ship would be relatively slower, it makes sense for Mr. Zhou Qing to leave in advance.

“Secondly, 1 plan to visit some old friends along the way.” Zhou Qing smiled, “Having become a Food Recommender, 1 haven’t left Dongxia City for a long time, there are some old friends with whom 1 used to be quite close to, whom I haven’t contacted for a long time.”

“1 understand,” Qin Lang nodded comprehendingly.

He was riding off Zhou Qing’s invitation to the Leaping Fish Banquet, so naturally, he should adapt to Mr. Zhou Qing’s schedule.

“In fact, my visits to old friends along the way might also help you,” Zhou Qing suddenly smiled, “After winning the Dongxia City cooking championship, I’m sure you’re thinking about collecting five second-level Food Recommender Badges to enter the provincial-level cooking competition, right?”

“Our journey will pass through Miredi City.” He paused, “The second-level Food Recommender in Miredi City, Miss Tang Mi, is one of my old friends whom I’ve known for many years.”

“You have received the Daisy Badge, and Miss Tang Mi’s examination also relates to desserts. If all goes well, she may grant you the second second-level Food Recommender Badge.”

“Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou Qing!” Qin Lang expressed his gratitude.

Although the second-level Food Recommender examination in Miredi City was not in his plan, the significance of receiving any Daisy Badge for him would be the same, as they are all second-level Food Recommender Badges from Tianhua State.

Furthermore, Zhou Qing also revealed the content of Miss Tang ATi’s examination: desserts.

With this in mind, he had more assurance in passing the examination.

However, Qin Lang then cleared his throat, “Err… Mr. Zhou Qing, actually, 1 have already received my second second-level, Food Recommender Badge.” “Hmm?” Zhou Qing was taken aback for a moment, and Zhou Yun, who had been quietly eating on the side, also stopped and looked at Qin Lang in disbelief.

Without a doubt, Qin Lang’s first second-level Food Recommender Badge was the Distant Light Badge.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just over ten days since the end of the Dongxia City Cooking Competition, Qin Lang had already received a second second-level Food Recommender Badge?

“Silly me.” Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and soon had an epiphany, “You received the Deer Spirit Badge in Bai Lu Mountain City, didn’t you?”

He suddenly remembered that during their call yesterday, Qin Lang had mentioned his recent itinerary.

He had visited Bai Lu Mountain City prior to visiting Qingyang City.

Looking back, the second second-level Food Recommender Badge that Qin Lang had received could only have come from there.

It certainly couldn’t have been granted in Qingyang City, could it?

Thinking of Zong Nian, a person he once had a brief encounter with in Qingyang City, Zhou Qing promptly dismissed the assumption.

“Correct,” Qin Lang nodded, “1 passed Mrs. Yun Qi’s examination in Bai Lu Mountain City and received the Deer Spirit Badge.”

As Zhou Qing thought.

Zhou Qing nodded understandedly, “If you could receive a badge from Miss Tang Mi, you would be missing only two of the five second-level Food Recommender Badges.”

“Well…” Qin Lang rubbed his head somewhat embarrassedly, “If 1 am lucky enough to receive the second-level badge from Miss Tang Mi, I would be missing only one of the five badges.”

“How could it be one…” Zhou Qing reflexively spoke, but before he could finish his sentence, he realized something and abruptly stood up from his seat, “You have also received the third second-level badge?!”

Hold on!

After winning the Dongxia City cooking championship, Qin Lang visited Bai Lu Mountain City and Qingyang City. Given that the Deer Spirit Badge he received in Bai Lu Mountain City was the second badge, the third badge…

“You passed Mr. Zong Nian’s examination?!”

“I luckily passed,” Qin Lang said modestly, “In fact, 1 used seafood in the process of passing Mr. Zong Nian’s examination.”

Upon receiving his confirmation, Zhou Qing was struck dumb for a moment. Zhou Yun, who was eating quietly by the side, looked at Qin Lang as if she was seeing him for the first time.

Qin Lang’s culinary skills have reached this level?
