Chapter 151 The Taste in the Heart
The wonderful taste flows from the depths of the soul, and the hidden meaning in it also echoes in the hearts of diners.

That is the intention to bring out the taste to the extreme, it is the result of all the hard work of the chef, he devotes everything he has just to thoroughly stimulate the taste of the ingredients in his hands, to move towards the road called perfection.

The taste in the mouth resonates with the thoughts that flow from the taste. Both parties start from their own different starting points and move towards the same goal, just like two roads heading towards each other, converging at the end point called "Juewei".

At the moment when the two sides merged, the feelings of body and mind reached an unprecedented synchronization in an instant. All sensory feelings seemed to sublimate in an instant, turning into unprecedented pleasure and satisfaction.

This unprecedented experience deeply shocked Hongze. It brought him not only pure pleasure and satisfaction, but also clearly demonstrated the path to the ultimate taste without reservation.

What appeared before Hongze's eyes at this moment was a broad river with surging water, so wide that it seemed endless. On the other side of the river stood a gate with the words "Juewei" written on it.

That was the question he had posed, a question he thought no one would be able to answer, and now, the answer appeared clearly before his eyes.

"Juewei" is not just a physical sensation. Everyone has a different understanding of Juewei in their hearts.

So what is the ultimate taste in his mind?
Hongze stared at the door of the soul, feeling extremely curious.

He had already tasted countless delicacies, and the most exquisite dishes and flavors in the world were just commonplace in the imperial kitchen.

People's desire is always endless. After eating delicious food once, they want to eat more delicious food. As the delicious food accumulates, the threshold of taste becomes higher and higher. People's desire for delicious food has no upper limit, but therefore they can never reach the ultimate delicious food.

Every time he tasted something delicious, the door to absolute deliciousness would be further away from him.

The countless wonderful flavors that Hongze had tasted were deposited in his heart and transformed into the broad river before his eyes. No matter how delicious the food was, when it passed through this river, it would be like a drop in the ocean, and would melt into it in an instant, never being able to reach the other side called "the ultimate taste".

Over the decades, the river has become wider and wider, and those delicious foods have been integrated into it and become part of the river.

And he was getting farther and farther away from the gate called Juewei, until it became a dream that could only be seen from a distance but could not be reached.

However, at this moment, a solid bridge appeared under his feet, extending straight forward to the gate called "Juewei" on the other side. It spanned the broad river and the countless wonderful flavors, and no matter how big the waves in the river were, they could not dissolve and destroy it.

Because what constitutes this bridge is not only the world's delicacies, not only the wonderful taste that has never been experienced, but also the chef's firm and unrepentant determination to do everything he can to guide diners to the door of "Juewei".

The taste and the intention merge into one without any hindrance, turning into the bridge before our eyes.

Hongze didn't know whether this bridge could really lead him to the other side, but this was his only chance in his life.

If he misses this opportunity, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

So Hongze stepped forward, crossing the broad river that had blocked his path for years, and moved towards the other side step by step.

It seemed to have spanned countless years, yet it seemed to be just a moment.

The moment Hongze stepped off the bridge, the river and the bridge behind him disappeared instantly, as if he and the door carrying the delicious food were the only ones left in the world.

Hongze placed his hand on the door, a long-lost excitement ignited in his heart, his heart was beating vigorously, anticipation and nervousness, constantly urging him to push open the door.

Hongze took a deep breath and pushed the door open with force.

Suddenly, he seemed to be back in his youth. The skills and taste he had cultivated in the past disappeared at this moment, leaving only the original simplicity.

An enticing fragrance wafted into his nose, which was the aroma of rice. At the same time, his stomach started to growl, urging him to go home quickly.

When I got home, my mother had already prepared a table of dishes. To call it a table, it was just two home-cooked dishes and a bowl of white rice.

This homely taste is the original delicacy in his heart. It is the taste of home.

When he was a little older, he went to other places to learn skills. His master was the best chef in the local area. There was always a long queue at the door of his restaurant, and customers came to eat in an endless stream.

What he saw and tasted every day were the delicious dishes made by the chefs. He once worked hard without sleep and forgetting to eat, just to get one step closer to that delicious dish.

Later, his cooking skills surpassed his master's, but he could no longer make the delicious dish he had always dreamed of.

Because it is a delicacy that can only be made by the master chef, and it is the taste that carries his dreams and ideals from his youth.

The scene then changed again. He became a candidate in the top chef assessment. In the examination room, he exerted all his potential and tried his best to move towards deliciousness.

That dish was his first step on the road to perfection, and it was the taste of glory.

In the following days, countless delicious dishes passed before his eyes, each carrying countless memories.

The door that carried the deliciousness eventually turned into an untouchable taste under the continuous impact of deliciousness. What could be contained in it was his unforgettable and unique taste in the world.

He treasured them carefully and hid them in a secluded place, wanting to preserve the memory as long as possible.

But those flavors faded away with time, were gradually forgotten over the years, and ultimately only vague and fuzzy thoughts remained.

Now, under the guidance of wonderful taste, Hongze is able to open this door again and taste the forgotten delicacies of the past again.

It is not just a taste, but also an unforgettable memory, a unique taste in the world.

That's enough for now.

Hongze thought contentedly that it was enough to be able to rediscover these precious tastes and memories.

However, the road in front of him continued to extend, as if telling him that this was not enough.

These have not yet reached the ultimate in deliciousness.

What's ahead?
Hongze stepped forward, and there was endless fog ahead.

This is the end of the road, a realm that Chef Long cannot step into.

Countless confusions and pains were hidden in the fog, hindering his progress.

But the road under my feet still moves forward, stubbornly and firmly rushing into the endless fog.

In order to achieve the true ultimate and ultimate taste.

In the past, Hongze would have stopped in front of the fog. However, at this moment, the taste he had regained in his heart supported his body, provided him with endless courage, and also brought back the passion and vitality of his youth.

People’s pursuit of delicious food never stops, and as a chef who brings delicious food to the world, you cannot stop there.

Hongze took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stepped into the layers of fog.
