Chapter 208 Farewell
The chef's intention, his determination to muster up the courage and do his best to move forward, gradually filled my heart under the guidance of the taste of the dishes.

What Xu Qing saw was people working tirelessly to reach the top.

In the eyes of Master Luo Tian, ​​they are rugged and muddy roads. On these countless different roads, there are always people who fall and give up, but there are more people who get up after falling down and muster up the courage to keep going after giving up.

No matter how much pain we have suffered in the past, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles await us ahead, people will still strive to move forward.

With each small but firm step, we cross the mountains and rivers, flatten the ravines and seas, up to the sky and down to the underworld.

People are not striving to achieve a specific goal, and they don't even have any lofty ambitions in their hearts at the beginning. They just take a small step and are unwilling to stop.

In the hearts of all the chefs, their thoughts are also flowing slowly. The scenery seen by each person is different, but the only thing that is the same is the determination to keep moving forward.

This determination inspired them and made everyone feel more determined.

Meili is still young and cannot quite understand the courage and determination to overcome difficulties and pain and move forward, but this firm and positive attitude makes her blood boil. She wants to take on all the chores in Yangquan and do them to her heart's content.

There is no doubt that this dish contains the heart and the chef’s voice.

However, this is only an entry-level gesture of thoughtfulness. After the taste of the dish gradually fades away, the effect of the thoughtfulness will also disappear. It is like giving someone a temporary shot of chicken blood, and after the effect wears off, things will naturally return to normal.

True intention is the ability to completely change a person's mind. Even if time passes, the intention will not dissipate, but will remain in the heart forever.

Xu Qing has only felt this level of thoughtfulness in Chef Abei’s dishes.

Xu Qing’s current ability is slightly better than Master Jidi’s, but far from Master Abei’s level.

Moreover, Xu Qing didn’t know how to train his mind to make further progress.

Master Abei and Master Luo Tian said nothing about this. Both of them wanted him to figure it out on his own.

Now Xu Qing can't even find the direction of enlightenment, he can only hope that as his skills improve, maybe one day by chance, his mind will also improve.

Master Jidi’s current situation is a very good example for Xu Qing. By seeing how Master Jidi cultivates his mind, Xu Qing may be able to get inspiration from it.

Master Luo Tian looked at Jidi with emotion and said, "After so many years, you finally came out of it."

From the first time he saw Jidi, Master Luo Tian could feel the depression in his heart.

Master Luo Tian delegated power to Jidi and let him serve as the acting chef of Yangquan Restaurant in order to let him forget those painful things in his busy work. Perhaps as time goes by, he will be able to get over it on his own one day.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Jidi still couldn't get over it. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Xu Qing and Li Yan, he would probably have been trapped in the pain of the past for the rest of his life.

However, Luo Tian himself felt the fun in the day-to-day life of slacking off, and he could never go back to the way he was before.

Master Jidi said, "This time it's all thanks to Xu Qing. If it weren't for Xu Qing, I'm afraid I would have died in the cooking duel, let alone being able to resolve the misunderstanding with Li Yan. Xu Qing, thank you so much."

As he said this, he bowed solemnly to Xu Qing.

In that cooking competition, everything Xu Qing did was of great significance to Jidi, and it could be said that it gave him a chance to reshape his life.

Therefore, in his heart, his gratitude to Xu Qing was far more than what this gift could express.

But he has always been a man of few words, and no matter how grateful he is in his heart, it is difficult to express it in words.

Xu Qing waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Master Jidi, you are too polite."

Master Luo Tian smiled and said, "You should accept his thanks, otherwise he will feel even worse."

Xu Qing had no choice but to do as he was told.

Xu Qing always felt a little overwhelmed when faced with such a serious and rigorous person.

In comparison, it is easier to get along with a cheerful person like Master Luo Tian, ​​and you have no psychological burden when you confront or trick him.

Master Luo Tian turned his head suddenly and stared at Xu Qing, "Boy, are you cursing me in your heart again?" Xu Qing was already used to Master Luo Tian's overly sharp sixth sense, and said calmly without changing his expression, "Master, you think too much."

Master Luo Tian snorted coldly, ignored him, turned his head and looked at Jidi, and said: "Jidi, what do you want to do next?"

Master Jidi clasped his fists towards Master Luo Tian and said, "Master, please allow me to be willful. I hope to leave Yangquan Restaurant temporarily and go to other places to practice again."

Master Luo Tian had expected him to say this, and said, "Okay, just go and practice with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about Yangquan. Xu Qing is here, he will take care of everything."

Master Jidi nodded. It was because of Xu Qing that he dared to put everything aside and leave Yangquan to practice again. Xu Qing's cooking skills were better than his. With Xu Qing, Yangquan might be able to reach new heights.

Xu Qing also said: "Yes, Master Jidi, you can rest assured to practice. Master Luo Tian and I will take good care of Yangquan Restaurant."

Xu Qing placed emphasis on the four words "Master Luo Tian".

Jidi knew that the old man and the young boy often quarreled with each other, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Master Luo Tian was reminded by Xu Qing, and he quickly said, "By the way, if you want to go to practice in other places, take Meili with you. You don't know how long you will be gone, and it's too pitiful for her to be left alone in Yangquan without any relatives or friends. With you by her side, she will feel more at ease."

Xu Qing was shocked. So this was Master Luo Tian’s real purpose!
If Mei Li really followed Master Jidi away, he would lose his ultimate weapon against Master Luo Tian!

As soon as Mary leaves, the old man will definitely return to his old ways and enjoy basking in the sun every day to annoy him!
Xu Qing's scalp tingled when he thought about the future.

Being busy at work is not a problem. The problem is that when he is so busy that he wishes he had three heads and six arms and has no time to do everything, some people are still bored and bored. This is really irritating!
But he couldn't stop Mary from leaving.

Master Luo Tian is right, it is of course best for Mary to be with her father.

After all, the position of parents cannot be replaced by anyone.

Upon hearing this, Master Jidi nodded and said, "Master is right. I plan to take Meili with me."

After all, no one knows how long it will take for him to come back.

Mary lost her mother when she was young, and he couldn't leave Mary alone.

Mary was stunned when she heard this.

Yangquan is where she grew up. It is full of familiar people and familiar environment. Meili has long regarded it as her home. Now she suddenly wants to leave and go to a strange place. Meili is very resistant.

But my father said so...

No matter how reluctant Mary was, she could only lower her head in silence and accept her father's arrangement.

After discussing things, Jidi spent two days packing his luggage and left with Meili.

At the dock, all the people from Yangquan Restaurant came to see him off, and they prepared so many gifts, big and small, that Jidi could hardly hold them all.

Mary's hands were also filled with small gifts, including clothes and toys prepared for her by everyone, as well as a bunch of delicious snacks, all of which were Mary's favorite things.

With tears in her eyes, Mary followed her father onto the boat, looking back every step of the way. With every step she took, she got further away from everyone.

When she got on the boat, she looked down and the boat and the outside of the boat seemed to be two separate worlds. Even if she stretched out her hand desperately, she could not reach them.

Are you really leaving...

Mary looked back at her father, then at the people under the boat. Suddenly she mustered up her courage, ran off the boat, and rushed into the crowd.

Jidi shouted in surprise: "Meili! Come back soon!"

"No! This is my home too!"

Meili shouted.
