The staff of the Culture and Tourism Bureau completely abandoned their previous reserve and eagerly picked up chopsticks and spoons to savor this unique delicacy.
With just one bite, they could feel the perfect fusion of the spicy and savory flavors of the hot pot and the rich and creamy bread, as if the food was dancing in their mouths.
This unexpectedly harmonious combination brought expressions of satisfaction and happiness to these discerning cultural and tourism staff.
This novel combination doesn't create any jarring sense of novelty; instead, it's a perfectly balanced taste experience.
For the cultural and tourism staff who had tasted a night of bizarre cuisine, Qin Zi'an was practically a god, and the spicy hot pot bread was something they wanted to elevate to a pedestal.
In just a few minutes, the spicy hot pot bread was completely devoured by them.
Even so, these staff members of the Culture and Tourism Bureau were still not satisfied, their minds were still full of thoughts of spicy hot pot bread.
Under these circumstances, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Zi'an, and they showered him with compliments.
"Director Qin, your cooking skills are truly divine!!! I originally thought that you were able to make such delicious Northeast soybean paste because of your family's secret recipe, but now that I see... it's just that your family's cooking skills are so good."
"If I hadn't seen Director Qin make the mala tang bread with my own eyes, I would have seriously suspected that Director Qin had put something in it. I'm not exaggerating at all, I've never eaten such delicious mala tang, nor such delicious bread, it's absolutely amazing."
"After receiving Director Qin's spicy hot pot bread, I truly see the future of Cangzhou's cultural tourism. Let alone Cangzhou, even if this spicy hot pot bread is only available in the Guanghan Palace Special Administrative Region, I will still go to the moon to taste it properly."
"Haha, who says spicy hot pot and bread can't fall in love? Director Qin's actions directly brought this unlikely couple together, proving that 'even a forced relationship can be sweet.' The combination of spiciness and sweetness is both exciting and sweet—what else could this be but love?"
"After tasting Director Qin's spicy hot pot bread, my life is set. If I hadn't tried such a delicious dish, my life would have been filled with endless regrets, and I wouldn't be able to die in peace."
The praise from the cultural and tourism bureaus was like a never-ending river, filling the entire space with compliments, which made Chef Zhang, who was standing nearby, extremely envious.
As a seasoned chef, Lao Zhang has created countless innovative dishes in the kitchen over the years, and each new dish he introduces causes a small sensation.
Even if the creative dishes he produces don't taste particularly good, it doesn't stop him from having a bunch of sycophants behind him.
However, after meeting Qin Zian today, Lao Zhang finally came to a better understanding of reality.
Not only was he overshadowed by a young man, but he was also overshadowed by someone outside the industry.
If this happened to someone else, Lao Zhang would definitely do everything in his power to protect his image.
But now, his target is Qin Zian, the source of inspiration for his series of creative dishes.
To be honest, Old Zhang was filled with mixed feelings and didn't know how to deal with himself.
When Qin Zi'an was distributing the spicy hot pot bread, Lao Zhang was lucky enough to get one and savored it carefully.
Honestly, Lao Zhang believes that Qin Zi'an's spicy hot pot bread is simply incomparable to his own.
It wasn't because Qin Zian's craftsmanship was inferior to his own, but because Qin Zian's skills were simply too superb.
Old Zhang tried no less than a hundred methods to perfectly blend traditional spicy hot pot with bread, creating an unforgettable delicacy.
Unfortunately, he fought and failed repeatedly, but never found a suitable solution.
In contrast, Qin Zian succeeded on his first attempt, and it was an earth-shattering success.
No one can help but love their muse, especially when that muse can improve and upgrade Zhang's artwork.
For Lao Zhang, this was an incredibly rare and wonderful opportunity.
Old Zhang had intended to give Qin Zi'an a proper compliment to express his respect and admiration for him.
But just as Lao Zhang was about to speak, Director Ma's words directly interrupted his thoughts.
"It seems that we have another highlight in our Cangzhou cultural tourism project."
Director Ma spoke with a smile, his eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.
He could almost see the magnificent scene of Cangzhou's cultural tourism booming, with countless tourists coming from far and wide just to taste its unique spicy hot pot bread.
Director Ma turned to Qin Zi'an, his voice revealing barely concealed excitement: "Director Qin, this spicy hot pot bread you made might just become a specialty of Cangzhou, attracting countless tourists to come and taste it!"
His words were full of praise for Qin Zi'an and his beautiful vision for the future, and he couldn't stop smiling.
After all, the creative dishes that appeared tonight were not just spicy hot pot bread, but also dozens of... bizarre dishes.
If Qin Zi'an can use his divine skills to make improvements, then the Cangzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau will truly prosper.
By then, not only will the name 'Cangzhou' be completely unknown, but the whole world will have to follow the name Cangzhou.
For no other reason than the exceptionally high Engel coefficient of the Chinese people, Cangzhou is bound to secure a place here.
However, Qin Zi'an did not become complacent upon hearing Director Ma's praise.
"Director Ma, you're mistaken." Qin Zi'an simply shook his head modestly and quietly explained, "This spicy hot pot bread was actually invented by Lao Zhang. I merely played a supporting role. How to use these exotic foods to promote cultural tourism projects depends on Cangzhou's own planning and strategies."
Qin Zian's words surprised everyone in Cangzhou. The famous Qin Zian was so humble and did not boast about his achievements.
On the other hand, the staff of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau nodded with pride, and couldn't help but feel that they were benefiting from following Qin Zi'an.
If they could, they would shout at the top of their lungs, "Yes! Our Ice City is indeed a place blessed with outstanding people and resources, possessing an all-around talent like Director Qin!"
