137 Chapter 137: Remote Sorrow
"The buns are stead and ready."
Watching two Food Spirits approach him with the hunger of kittens, Qin Lang chuckled helplessly, picking up his cara. "Don't forget about this."
Oh yeah, they need to record it!
The two Food Spirits just rembered - they had a task at hand.
Despite the tantalizing aroma of the big at buns perating through the stear and into the air, thinking about the captivating video they could shoot that would be viewed by many rendered them with enough motivation to stifle their hunger.
As Qin Lang lifted the lid of the stear, a thick fog carrying the heady aroma of the at buns quickly filled the entire kitchen.
Carefully, he lifted a tray of big at buns and activated his cara to start gathering footage.
"This angle should work..."
"Let's try here..."
"You two can enter the shot now."
"Dan Bao, get us an overhead shot with the cara!"
"..."
After the commotion, Qin Lang nodded in satisfaction.
"Dig in!"
Upon hearing this phrase, the two famished Food Spirits lunged towards the stear, each picking up a delicious big at bun to taste.
Their fierce eating style combined with their cute appearances made Qin Lang even hungrier just by watching.
Having the Food Spirits host a mukbang was definitely a smart choice.
After filming for a while, Qin Lang put down the recording equipnt.
He had gathered all the footage he needed, and all that was left was the editing.
But before that...
He took a at bun from the stear, no longer scalding to the touch. After blowing on it, he took a big bite.
He bit right through the soft and fluffy bun, revealing the glossy, juicy ground at glistening under the light.
The inside of the bun was a light brown color, its porous texture absorbing the juices from the at, making it moist and inviting.
The fluffy and supple structure not only elevated the bun's taste but also allowed salivary amylase a larger reaction surface, accelerating the conversion of starch to maltose during mastication.
The increasingly sweet bun coupled with the salty fresh taste of the at juice interweaving in his mouth quickly gave rise to an astonishing flavor.
Even though his first bite didn't contain much at, the bun itself was already impressive enough.
The second bite, which included both the bun and the at, brought about another transformative layer of taste and texture.
The finely granulated tender at mixed with the fresh cabbage created a beautiful dance of flavors between the bun and its filling.
After devouring a big at bun, a satisfied look appeared on Qin Lang's face.
Hmm... I should have a billion more!
...
"Um...Weiwei, what ti is it now?"
In the twin room where the two girls were staying, Qi Xiaoyu stirred awake, sat up from the bed, and rubbed her eyes.
"It's five-thirty." Du Weiwei glanced at the ti, then sat up and held Qi Xiaoyu's hand. "You've just woken up, how do you feel?"
"I've completely recovered now!" Qi Xiaoyu hugged Du Weiwei, grinning from ear to ear. "What shall we have for dinner?"
"The first thing on your mind after waking up is food, that ans you're truly better." Du Weiwei responded with a smile. Just as she was about to propose their dinner plans, two notification sounds interrupted her.
The notifications ca from Du Weiwei and Qi Xiaoyu's phones.
Both of them instinctively picked up their phones and soon saw the notice.
[The UP master "Traveler" you've subscribed to has released a new video.]
"Qin Lang has released a new video?" Qi Xiaoyu murmured, clicking on the link which led to Qin Lang's newly released video.
Du Weiwei put down her phone, leaned in to the screen of Qi Xiaoyu's phone, and watched along.
A mont later, the room fell silent. The gradually quickening breaths and the sounds of the two girls subconsciously swallowing saliva beca distinctly noticeable.
"This background is the independent kitchen in the hotel." Du Weiwei suddenly spoke.
"Shall we... go find him?" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes were sparkling, clearly eager at the idea.
Ding-Dong~
A ssage alert sounded.
A new ssage from the group chat that Qin Lang had created for the four on the ssaging app.
Qin Lang: I've cooked dinner for you all. [Picture]
"Let's go!"
One look at the steaming at buns was enough for Qi Xiaoyu to spring out of bed and dart towards the door.
"Wait! You haven't changed out of your pajamas!"
...
"Sigh."
A dejected teenager lay on his bed, sighing from ti to ti.
He was facing a dilemma.
Or rather, his family was facing a dilemma.
The 17-year-old, who had just been gifted with his first Food Spirit and had beco a Spirit Chef, thought he could help his family, but his father rcilessly refused.
He glanced at his floating Food Spirit, hugging it and quietly grumbled, "Dad still treats like a kid. Even though I'm a fully capable Spirit Chef."
"Goo~"
The Food Spirit rubbed its Spirit Chef, offering its own form of consolation.
"What bothers the most is, everything Dad said is true," his face looked even more despondent, "Even though I'm already a Spirit Chef, my cooking skills aren't impressive enough to help him solve this crisis."
"I want to help Dad, what should I do..."
He hung his head low, visibly dispirited as he cuddled his Food Spirit.
"Ding ding ding~"
A notification rang from his discarded phone.
The teenager temporarily lifted his head, picking up his phone to check the alert.
[The UP master "Traveler" you've subscribed to has released a new video.]
Traveler?
The teenager pondered for a while, then it struck him.
A few days ago, he had watched Wei La 0205's Silver Treasure Box on the D Site.
He had followed the Treasure Box banner, and by following the UP master who got it, he'd gotten a chance to participate in the lottery. He'd casually followed the UP master nad "Traveler".
Although he only won experience points...
After clicking follow, the teenager had taken a look at Traveler's videos. The Orange Flavored Shrimp tempted him, so he didn't unfollow.
Though the teenager didn't take this to heart, since he used D Site often and followed at least a dozen UP masters every day.
Seeing Traveler's new video, the depressed teenager curiously clicked open.
"Delicious Big at Bun?" He read the video title under his breath and started watching.
Ignoring the few bullentin board comnts that were popping up, the teenager's first notice was the new delicacy called Big at Bun.
The white appearance, seed like it was so kind of pasta.
Wait... pasta?!
The teenager sat straighter, his distracted attitude had now beco focused.
His family's problem was precisely related to this.
Soon, the teenager finished watching the video, swallowing hard, excitent gleaming in his eyes.
A daring idea ford rapidly in his mind.
Maybe, he could try his luck?
