After the dough had fermented, Qin Zian took it out, divided it into small pieces, reshaped them into rounds, and put them into the preheated oven to bake.

The bread gradually rose in the oven, emitting an enticing aroma.

Unlike the aroma of ordinary bread, Qin Zian's bread seemed to have something added to it, making everyone involuntarily gather around to experience its deliciousness.

Seeing the fascination on everyone's faces, Qin Zian simply smiled and shook his head, without saying anything more.

At this point, the Mala Tang bread project was only half completed.

To make it truly delicious, the flavor of the filling is of utmost importance.

Therefore, Qin Zian prepared the broth for the mala tang and thoroughly soaked the ingredients in it.

This ensures that the ingredients fully absorb the flavor of the broth without affecting the texture of the bread.

After all the actions were completed, Qin Zian took out the baked bread and gently cut it in half with a knife.

He not only put the ingredients of the mala tang inside, but also poured a layer of rich broth on top.

Just seeing this made the cultural and tourism staff watching nearby swallow hard.

This wasn't an attempt to flatter Qin Zi'an; they were simply captivated by the spicy hot pot bread he made.

It's no exaggeration to say that Qin Zi'an's spicy hot pot bread is worlds apart from Lao Zhang's spicy hot pot bread.

Qin Zian's spicy hot pot bread is exceptional in both color and aroma, making it mouthwatering and tempting people to taste its deliciousness.

Especially the golden-brown crust of the bread, baked to perfection.

Just by hearing the sound of Qin Zi'an cutting bread, everyone could tell that his bread wouldn't be too crispy or too soft.

The contrast between the outer shell and the soft, delicate interior of the bread creates a striking visual effect, greatly enhancing its texture and making your mouth water.

However, the spicy hot pot bread that Lao Zhang developed was different.

Although it was the first time everyone had ever heard of such a dish, its appearance was rather ordinary.

In addition, Lao Zhang's bizarre dishes, such as hot pot chicken Manchu Han Imperial Feast, strawberry tofu pudding, and scallion coffee, had already made everyone extremely wary of him.

Therefore, even though people are curious about the taste and texture of the spicy hot pot bread, they dare not take the first step to try it.

Given this stark contrast, everyone's desire to taste Qin Zi'an's spicy hot pot bread had reached its peak.

"Director Qin, may I try your spicy hot pot bread?" Director Ma asked expectantly.

Of course!

Qin Zian responded with a smile, and then handed the tray containing the spicy hot pot bread to Director Ma, letting him take it as he pleased.

Director Ma accepted the spicy hot pot bread as if it were a precious treasure, and then carefully took a bite under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Instantly, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he had discovered a new continent.

The outer layer of the mala tang bread is baked to perfection, golden and crispy, creating a striking contrast with the soft and delicate bread inside.

Even though Director Ma had tasted many delicious foods, he had never experienced such a unique taste.

The broth of the mala tang is refreshing with a slight numbing spiciness, which not only does not overpower the flavor of the bread, but complements it and adds a few layers of flavor.

Director Ma could even feel the fresh ingredients bursting in his mouth; although they were intertwined, each ingredient retained its most authentic flavor.

The spiciness of the hot pot and the sweetness of the bread intertwine, creating an indescribable deliciousness instead of a strange or bizarre feeling.

"Director Qin, the spicy hot pot bread you made... is absolutely amazing!"

Director Ma exclaimed sincerely, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.

After careful consideration, Director Ma's brows completely relaxed, and he offered his comments.

"I can say with certainty that Director Qin's mala tang bread is a true innovation. It has the essence of traditional mala tang and incorporates bread elements very well. Whether you eat it wrapped up or taste it separately, it has a unique flavor."

Director Ma's face was beaming with satisfaction and joy, completely immersed in the unique deliciousness.

Meanwhile, staff from the Harbin and Cangzhou Culture and Tourism Bureaus were quietly observing from the sidelines and clearly heard Director Ma's repeated praise for Qin Zi'an's spicy hot pot bread.

Even before they saw this novel combination, they were very curious about what kind of sparks would fly when spicy hot pot and bread were mixed together.

Moreover, previous innovative dishes such as hot pot chicken and the Manchu Han Imperial Feast also aroused their endless curiosity and appetite.

Unfortunately, Lao Zhang only managed to create the concept and form of the food, but he didn't quite get the taste of the dish right.

Nowadays, Director Ma is full of praise for Qin Zi'an's spicy hot pot bread, and it doesn't seem like flattery at all, but a genuine compliment.

In addition, everyone had long heard of Qin Zi'an's extraordinary culinary skills...

Now, guided by Director Ma's praise, I can't wait to try this novel delicacy.

And so, seeing Director Ma's blissful expression, the staff of the Culture and Tourism Bureau could no longer contain their emotions.

"Director Qin, may I try a small piece of your spicy hot pot bread?"

"Of course!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Zian handed a piece of spicy hot pot bread to the staff member who had asked the question.

The brave enjoy the world first, while the timid can only enjoy the world that others have enjoyed.

The world can be shared later, but there's only so much food left.

If you miss it, you don't know when you'll have the chance to taste it again.

Subsequently, staff members from the Harbin and Cangzhou Culture and Tourism Bureaus bravely approached Qin Zi'an one after another, asking for spicy hot pot bread.

They looked at Qin Zian with expectant eyes, hoping he could satisfy their curiosity and appetite.

Even when making the mala tang bread, Qin Zi'an made it according to the portions given to the staff present.

While we can't guarantee that everyone will be full, it's definitely not a problem to let them taste the flavors.

Then, Qin Zian granted their requests one by one and handed them the pre-cut spicy hot pot bread.

These cultural and tourism personnel had smiles and expectations on their faces, but their behavior completely changed after they received the spicy hot pot bread...
