Chapter 237 Loser

Heart?
Another thoughtful thought?

What a fart!

Cheng Peng cursed in his heart.

When he was learning cooking at Guangming Cuisine, he often heard people talking about heart and mind, about understanding one's own heart, understanding the hearts of diners, and communicating between hearts.

He actually said something that was incomprehensible!

All a chef needs to do is make delicious food!
Why pay attention to those messy things!
But this thing is like a buzzing fly, extremely annoying.

It was not until he entered the world of dark cuisine that his ears finally quieted down and his heart finally felt at ease.

No one in the dark cuisine world has ever talked about such a mysterious thing as the meaning of one's heart.

Everyone is working hard to improve their cooking skills and strive to achieve unprecedented levels of excellence.

That's right, that's what a chef should do.

He could not understand or approve of Xia Yi's behavior of spending a lot of time traveling all over the country to find chili peppers.

What's the point of doing such a ridiculous thing?
Can a person die if he eats one less bite of chili pepper?
If there was any hidden meaning in this, he would be even more unable to understand it.

Yes, traveling across the country sounds really tiring, hard, and incredible.

But, can hard work and effort be considered a token of thoughtfulness?
Then wasn’t the brutal training he received in the dark culinary world a token of his intention?

Isn’t he tired and in pain?
Cheng Peng believed that when it came to tiredness and pain, he must be a hundred or a thousand times more painful than Xia Yi.

But at this moment, Xia Yi defeated him with the so-called intention. Even though there was an absolute gap in skills, he defeated him with inexplicable intention.

How could he accept this!

But what if you can’t accept it?

The outcome has been decided.

He lost.

He lost without knowing why and was unwilling to lose.

Cheng Peng gritted his teeth so hard that his face was a little distorted.

He wanted to say something.

When he looked up, he saw the chefs staring at him coldly.

Cheng Peng had no choice but to swallow his words and turned away.

The chefs relaxed their guard when they saw Cheng Peng leave so easily.

If this guy dares to utter another word from his dog's mouth, they will definitely give him a lesson.

On the other side, Chen Guanghe was thoughtful. He came to Xia Yi, looked at the dried chilies in the bag, and asked, "Can I try some?"

Hiss, eat the peppers raw!
The chefs around gasped.

Even after experiencing mild spiciness, their fear of spicy food has been reduced a lot.

But the words "eating raw chili peppers" still made them shudder.

Even if they are not the ones eating the chili peppers, they still feel the same way.

"of course can."

Xia Yi said happily.

These peppers are lightly spicy but very fragrant. He usually eats them as snacks when he is bored. The dried pepper seeds in the peppers are crunchy and chewy, similar to the feeling of eating peanuts.

Although Chen Guanghe is not used to eating chili peppers as a meal, he is not afraid of spicy food.

He picked up a dried chili and put it into his mouth amid the chefs' horrified and expectant gazes.

Chew slowly.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and his face turned red.

The chefs nodded in understanding.

This is what eating peppers raw looks like.

The next step is to drink a lot of water.

A chef handed over the bowl of water beside him with compassion.

But Chen Guanghe not only did not drink the water, but also threw a chili pepper into his mouth.

This shocked everyone. What is this called?
Fighting fire with fire?
Isn't that how it's done?
Chen Guanghe closed his eyes slightly, slowly enjoying the taste of the chili in his mouth.

The spiciness in his mouth brought him a feeling he had never experienced before.

It was not intense pain, nor was it a burning torture, nor was it the pleasure caused by stress after torture.

It is a gentle and delicate touch that stimulates the taste buds just right, allowing them to fully feel the warmth and spiciness of the pepper without leaving any painful feelings.

It is a delicate and long-lasting spiciness, like a slowly flowing stream, spreading over the tip of the tongue and gently caressing the taste buds.

The pain brought by the chili pepper is reduced, and the taste buds can feel the spicy aroma it contains more keenly, which is fresh and warm.

After drying in the sun, the moisture in the peppers is lost, and their aroma becomes more concentrated and rich, filling the mouth with this fresh breath and warm spicy fragrance.

This gentle spiciness brings people an unprecedented experience.

This completely overturned Chen Guanghe's previous feelings about chili peppers.

He had never imagined that there would be such gentle peppers and such delicate spicy flavor in the world.

It's not just people who are not used to spicy food who like to eat it. Even people who like spicy food and enjoy the pleasure brought by the pain will still love the rich spicy aroma and the gentle touch.

This feeling subverts people's taste buds and even their worldview.

This is the desire to present the best taste.

This is to allow people who cannot eat spicy food to appreciate the gentle aroma of chili.

It is slowly released as the teeth continue to chew.

At this moment, Chen Guanghe finally understood what it meant to understand the hearts of diners.

Chen Guanghe clasped his fists towards Xia Yi and Xu Qing and said, "Thank you both for your guidance. I finally understand."

Xia Yi was a little confused.

What do you understand?
Xu Qingze knew very well what Chen Guanghe understood.

He understood what intention was.

However, there is still a long way to go from understanding the mind to being able to use it.

Many people spend their entire lives on this path.

Chen Guanghe said to Xu Qing: "Chef Xu, I know that I am not capable enough. I will work hard to improve my skills. I hope that Chef Xu will give me a chance to take the test again. By then, I will not let you down!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm always at your service."

Chen Guanghe clasped his fists towards Xia Yi and said, "Congratulations, I am truly impressed. The victory of this duel must belong to you."

Xia Yi tried hard to keep a straight face and make a humble expression.

But his facial muscles were not under any control at all, and he could not help but grinning to both sides, revealing a huge smile that even showed his teeth.

All the chefs congratulated him in unison.

The scene was bustling with activity.

And Chen Guanghe left silently.

Although he lost, he was very excited.

He came to Yangquan Restaurant as an apprentice just to learn new things.

Although he failed to successfully enter Yangquan Restaurant, his goal has been achieved.

Chen Guanghe just wanted to return to his master as soon as possible and start learning again with a new mindset.

Now he must be able to see scenery that he could not see before and embark on roads that he had never traveled before.

Cheng Peng was hiding in a corner. When he saw Chen Guanghe, who was also a loser, walking out with a happy look on his face, he became even angrier.

It seemed as if he was the only loser among the three.

It is obvious that his skills are more advanced, and he is close to being a top-class chef!

How could he not even pass a small entrance test?

At this moment, Cheng Peng had no time to think about how Elder Huang would punish him if the mission failed.

He had only one thought in his mind, one doubt.

What exactly is intention?
