Chapter 149 Wonderful Scent

The evening breeze blows, taking away the day's heat and summer heat, bringing the tranquility and coolness of the night. People breathe in the gentle evening breeze, and even their anxious hearts become peaceful. They stroll in the quiet night with the evening breeze, and let their tired body and mind after a day's work be gently soothed by the evening breeze.

However, today's wind is unusual.

The wind brings not only tranquility and coolness, but also an extremely wonderful fragrance.

It lurks in the wind, playfully sliding across people's noses like a naughty elf, inadvertently triggering the sensitive olfactory nerves, making the tip of the nose twitch subconsciously, the nostrils relax, and the blood in the blood vessels rush in, as if the body is spontaneously capturing this wonderful smell.

Wherever this fragrance passed by, people who smelled it would stop instantly, look up and sniff the air hard, breathe in deeply, wanting to swallow this wonderful smell into their mouth and nose.

People couldn't help but sigh.

"smell good!"

"What does this smell like?"

“I’ve never smelled anything so good!”

"Where did this come from?"

"It seems to be over there at the exam room for the top chef."

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

The wind blew across the entire town, and everyone who smelled the aroma walked towards the examination room for the top chef.

Even those who have never smelled the fragrance could not help but join in the fun when they saw so many people running towards it.

When I got closer and smelled the wonderful fragrance coming from the wind, I became even more reluctant to leave.

People coming from all directions continued to gather at the gate of the top chef examination hall, making the already crowded streets even more cramped. People were jostling each other, and looking around, there was nothing else to be seen except people, as if all the people in Guangzhou city had come here.

This extremely rare scene alarmed the government officers and soldiers, who hurriedly ran into the government office to report the situation.

The Guangzhou government official asked in surprise: "What happened? Why did so many people suddenly gather?"

One of the subordinates replied, "Sir, it seems to be because of the aroma coming from the special chef examination room."

"aroma?"

Upon hearing this, the official walked out of the government office and took a deep breath in the night breeze. As soon as the fragrance in the night breeze entered his nose, before he had time to think, his feet involuntarily took a few quick steps towards the examination room for the top chef.

"grown ups!"

The call from his subordinates in the back finally woke him up from the wonderful fragrance. The official couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a nice smell! What's that smell?"

The subordinate replied, "I don't know, but now is the re-examination stage of the special chef assessment. It should be the smell of the dishes made by those chefs."

The official sighed and said, "It's amazing. Even though it's so far away, the taste is still so charming. No wonder so many people come here to taste it. I really want to taste it myself!"

Unfortunately, except for the examiners and candidates, no other outsiders were allowed to enter the examination room for the top chef. Even if he was the prefect of Guangzhou, it was difficult for him to intervene. He could only smell the aroma in the air to satisfy his craving.

After sighing, the official ordered: "Pass my order, all officers and soldiers immediately go to the special chef examination room to maintain order."

"Yes."

The officers and soldiers followed the order and went. Master Luo Tian and Master Jidi, who came from Yangquan Restaurant, were also shocked by the scene before them. They did not expect there would be so many people.

Master Luo Tian couldn't help but smack his lips, "Could it be that all the people in Guangzhou have come here? Xu Qing is really amazing. He has made such a big scene just by the fragrance sent by the wind. The fragrance alone is so tempting, and it is hard to imagine what the real food will taste like. No, after the special chef assessment is over, I must let him reproduce this dish once!"

Master Jidi said helplessly: "Master, let's first think about how to squeeze in from the crowd."

Master Luo Tian looked at the road ahead, which was packed with people like a wall of people, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just at this time, soldiers from Guangzhou Prefecture came to both sides of the street to maintain order and disperse the crowded crowd so that they would not be crowded in front of the examination room.

Luo Tianhe and Jidi then found a passage, passed through the crowd, and met up with the people from Yangquan Restaurant who had already arrived at the examination hall.

A chef saw Master Luo Tian and Master Jidi and immediately understood what was going on. He asked anxiously, "Master, Master Jidi, could it be that the fragrance in the air is the dish made by Xu Qing?"

Master Luo Tian smiled and said, "Except for him, I'm afraid no one else can do it."

Hearing this, everyone was immediately filled with anticipation.

Xu Qing's dish is truly extraordinary.

I really want to try it!

Similar thoughts lingered in the minds of all who smelled the fragrance.

In the examination room, those who were lucky enough to taste this dish became even more impatient.

Compared to people outside who could only vaguely smell the aroma in the wind, they were directly faced with the fragrance that hit their noses. At that moment, it seemed as if their entire bodies were immersed in the ocean of aroma. Every cell and every nerve in their bodies were trembling, cheering, and shouting eagerly in the wonderful taste, looking forward to tasting more wonderful flavors.

For a moment, the place was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Apart from the rapid breathing, there was no other sound.

As soon as this wonderful aroma entered the mouth and nose, it stretched out its wonderful body wantonly, firmly occupying the olfactory nerves. This strong aroma was transmitted from the nerves to the mind, instantly dispelling everything in the mind, leaving only its fragrance.

The five people present were like fish out of water. They just opened their mouths and tried desperately to breathe. Their minds were blank. They even forgot where they were or who they were. Only their bodies' original instincts and their desire for food remained.

Xu Qing was just about to introduce this dish in detail, but when he saw the expressions of the five people in front of him, he knew it was useless to say anything, as they wouldn't listen to anything he said.

The moment the dish is served on the table, the chef's work is done, and the rest is for the diners to enjoy.

Xu Qing stepped back silently.

The moment he left, five people picked up their chopsticks at the same time. They used almost the fastest hand speed in their lives and reached for the food on the plates as fast as lightning.

The delicacies on the plate are like small round beads, smooth and bright, like black pearls faintly flashing colorfully in the night sky, blurry and dreamy.

Under the round beads is a milky white soup base, as white and pure as milk.

The sharp contrast of black and white makes this dish visually very eye-catching.

However, no one cared to appreciate the exquisite appearance at this moment. Even the three examiners forgot their identities and responsibilities and became ordinary diners.

There was only one thought in their minds, and that was to completely swallow this ultimate delicacy that kept tempting them.
