Chapter 200 Satisfaction
As the delicious food entered his mouth, Xu Qing's keen five senses began to function fully. They broke down the delicious food into tiny particles and examined the dish from all angles.

The keen five senses work tirelessly like sophisticated instruments, analyzing every dish thoroughly and clearly without distinction.

Xu Qing often relies on his keen five senses, but is often troubled by them.

With such extraordinary talents, he is destined to not be able to live an ordinary life, and perhaps even find it difficult for him to enjoy the happiness of an ordinary person.

For example, the simplest enjoyment of delicious food.

However, at this moment, the delicious taste in your mouth brings you a rare and wonderful experience.

The first thing I felt was the heat.

This delicacy, born from the raging fire, also possesses the characteristics of the raging fire.

The moment you put it in your mouth, it seems that what you are eating is not the food, but a ball of solidified flame, burning fiercely on your tongue and taste buds.

This scorching heat makes the taste buds feel painful and numb, but after getting used to it, this heat has a strange magic that makes the taste buds completely open and fully accept it. Even if you know it will bring you pain, the pleasure and satisfaction after the pain is enough to make the taste buds fall for it and keep craving for it.

This fiery heat releases its warmth and magic madly, instantly sweeping across the entire mouth.

After being blanched in hot water, the squid becomes tender.

However, this tenderness is accompanied by a slight elasticity. When you bite down on the squid meat, you can feel the slight bounce of the squid meat, as if you and your teeth are dancing a waltz back and forth. This slight elasticity is like a clever tease, making your teeth eager to penetrate it and reach the tender meat.

The tip of the teeth penetrates the epidermis and touches the tender meat inside. It does not need teeth to chew, but just a slight touch of the tip of the teeth makes it loosen up softly. The taste is light and smooth, as if biting off a cloud in the sky and letting it melt softly in the mouth.

At the same time, this delicate taste also has a delicate feeling. The moment the teeth touch the food, all the secrets of the food slowly bloom under the touch of the tooth tips. Every fiber and texture is delicately revealed on the taste buds at the tooth tips.

Moreover, the texture of different parts of the squid has different feelings.

The squid head, that is, the squid tentacles, have a crisper and firmer texture. The tentacles often have to move and catch food, so the muscles are more developed. After being stir-fried at high temperature, they have greater elasticity, and the meat is full and firm. When you bite it, it bounces back at the tip of your teeth, like a cheerful dance, bringing you a wonderful experience.

The second is the texture of the squid body. Compared with the squid tentacles, the squid body is more tender and soft, tightly wrapping the tips of the teeth and melting into a gentle touch between the taste buds, making the taste buds immersed in this rare tenderness.

In addition to these two obvious differences in taste, this giant squid also has different fat distribution.

The multiple tentacles of large squids have different functions. Some are responsible for catching food, while others are responsible for sensing the surrounding environment. The different division of labor also creates differences in the taste of the tentacles.

The different distribution of fat also makes the texture in the mouth more distinct.

Some squid meat is thick with fat, and it is extremely delicate and smooth when you bite it. The rich and fragrant fat layer turns into fragrant juice, splashing around in your mouth, filling your entire mouth with its mellow taste.

Some squid meat is fat and lean. It has the softness of fat and the firmness of lean meat. The two different tastes bloom in the mouth at the same time, forming a wonderful sense of layering and making the taste richer.

In addition to the characteristics of the meat itself, Lai He's exquisite control of the heat also makes the taste of the ingredients even richer.

Although they are made from the same ingredients, the subtle difference in the cooking temperature produces a huge change in the mouth. Some have a hard and crisp texture, like roasted cartilage. Some are soft and delicate like snow-white ointment, slowly melting on the taste buds. Some are very elastic, some are so tender that they melt at the touch, some are fat and thin, some are full of juice, some have a firm and full texture, and some are light and thin, sliding through the mouth like silk.

Eight different tastes bloom in an instant, giving your taste buds an indescribable sense of satisfaction

Xu Qing's sharp five senses were working faithfully, analyzing the delicious taste in his mouth, but in the process of analysis, he could not help but be overwhelmed by it. In the end, this wonderful taste broke through the constraints of the five senses, causing them to stop analyzing and thinking at the same time. Now the only feeling left was the feeling of the deliciousness itself.

There is no thinking, no scrutiny, no analysis, only enjoyment.

Enjoy the beautiful world created by the chef with great effort.

Enjoy the satisfaction and happiness built from pure deliciousness.

At this moment, Xu Qing is no longer a top chef with extraordinary talent, but just an ordinary diner, completely immersed in the delicious food.

Let the wonderful taste of squid spread to every corner of your body, and let every nerve and every drop of flesh and blood be intoxicated by it.

Let the busy brain get a brief rest, break away from the distressing reality, fall into this beautiful fantasy, dance happily with the delicious food, and dance a carefree dance.

In the past, Xu Qing could only feel this kind of satisfaction from the food he made.

At this moment, Lai He used the secret methods of the dark cooking world to increase his strength several times, approaching Xu Qing's strength.

The five keen senses are captured by the subtle flavors of this dish. No matter how deeply they analyze it, they can always find the deliciousness in the details.

This is a flawless dish.

Xu Qing opened his eyes contentedly, "The taste of this dish is really mysterious! The squid tentacles are fried over high heat until crispy, with a charming burnt aroma. The squid body retains its fresh and tender taste during the stir-frying. Then, the different parts are carefully cooked according to the different fat content, and the subtle differences between them are turned into their own distinct tastes with exquisite control of the heat. Although they have different tastes, they are made from the same ingredients, so they have a strong unity in taste. One becomes eight, and eight becomes one. Between separation and combination, it shows a wonderful style!"

Xu Qing looked at Lai He and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "It's so satisfying! This is a flawless dish."

Every word of praise from Xu Qing touched Lai He's heart, making him extremely satisfied and giving him a huge sense of accomplishment.

Satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment filled Lai He's heart, giving him a long-lost feeling.

He was obsessed with the many secret techniques of the dark cooking world, obsessed with growing his own strength, and obsessed with controlling the power of life and death. Therefore, Lai He had long forgotten that simply cooking a delicious dish for someone was such a happy thing.

Lai He also showed a satisfied smile on his face and accepted all the praise from Xu Qing.

Mei Li, who was standing aside, asked in confusion: "Father, why is Brother Xu Qing acting like good friends with that bad guy? Doesn't that bad guy want to kill us?"

Jidi said: "Perhaps this is the charm of cooking. The diners' pursuit of delicious food and the chef's desire to satisfy the diners transcend positions and life and death at that moment."

Lai He smiled and said, "How about it? Do you admit defeat?"

Xu Qing said, "You haven't tasted my food yet, how can you determine who wins or loses?"

Lai He said, "Because your dishes cannot make me willingly admit defeat. At most, it will just be a repeat of the result of our first duel."

Xu Qing did not argue much, but just said: "Everything is in this dish."
