Chapter 25 Tasting
The woman asked hurriedly: "Ah Lang? What happened to Ah Lang?"

Mr. Wan repeated patiently, "I said that if Alang came back and saw you like this, he would definitely be very sad."

The woman looked at him in disbelief, almost unable to believe her ears.

Does what my father said mean that Alang will come back?

How is that possible? The police said that Alang had committed a serious crime and was thrown into prison. There was no telling when he would be released...

Even though she knew it was impossible, her heart still beat wildly uncontrollably, and endless joy arose in her heart.

What if... What if there really is a way to rescue Alang.

Mr. Wan glanced at Master Abe, who nodded. Then he told the woman what had happened and everything about the dark culinary world.

The woman finally understood what had happened and couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't Alang tell us at the time? We could have figured out a solution together. If it really doesn't work, we could have escaped together. It's better than him being in prison now, not knowing whether he's alive or dead."

Mr. Wan sighed and said, "Don't you know Alang's character? He doesn't want to involve us, fearing that something bad will happen to us. As for running away, it's even more impossible. He is not the kind of person who would just let bad things happen and do nothing."

The woman also knew in her heart that she fell in love with Alang because of this point about him: his noble character, his enthusiasm and sincerity towards people and things, and it was difficult for him to let go when he saw someone in danger. There were several times when he almost got hurt while helping others. The woman had talked to him about this many times, but he always smiled apologetically and said a lot of words of apology, and he would not change the next time.

As a result, he put his entire life at risk.

The woman looked at Master Abei and asked, "Master Abei, is there anything I can help you with?"

Master Abei comforted her and said, "What you need to do most now is to take good care of your body and take good care of the children. When your husband comes back, it will be enough for him to see you two in good health. The rest will be done by us and Mr. Wan."

The woman had no choice but to nod. She now had a desire for life again, but her body, which had been depleted for a long time, could not recover overnight. She needed a long period of rest.

Seeing that the woman had regained her vitality, everyone felt relieved and left the house to let her have a good rest.

Mr. Wan looked at the soup pot with regret. All the food in it was eaten by the woman alone, and he didn't even get to drink a sip of the soup.

He also wanted to taste what the liver paste, which was as delicate as snow and as smooth as a mirror, tasted like.

Master Abei saw Master Wan's expression and immediately understood what he was thinking. He said to Xu Qing, "Ah Qing, I'll have to ask you to work harder for a while."

"No problem." Xu Qing agreed immediately. He also wanted to try what Master Abei's bamboo shoot and liver paste soup tasted like.

There is still some chicken soup left from previously cooking, so all you need to prepare is liver paste and bamboo shoot soup.

Master Abei and Xu Qing immediately got busy and finished the meal in no time.

Mr. Wan couldn't wait to fill a bowl and scooped a spoonful of liver paste into his mouth along with the soup.

"Well……"

The wonderful taste that is difficult to describe in words melts on the tip of the tongue. The liver paste is smooth and delicate. Once it enters the mouth, it scatters with a light touch of the tongue. Then it is slightly crushed with the tongue and immediately turns into a delicate soup paste, blending with the mellow soup. The taste is complex, the aroma of chicken soup, the unique liver aroma and deep taste of the liver paste, and the fragrance and sweetness of the fresh bamboo shoots. It seems to stir up a storm in the mouth, shattering the consciousness, leaving only two clear words in the mind.

"tasty!"

"It's perfect, this is so perfect, how can there be such delicious food."

Mr. Wan was full of praise. Ah Qi was more honest, mumbling and speaking vague words of praise, but his mouth never stopped, and he swallowed most of the liver paste soup in a blink of an eye.

Master Wan was immediately furious. "You kid, do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? Leave some for me!"

As he spoke, he waved his spoon and joined the war for food.

Xu Qing was savoring the thoughtfulness that Master Abei had put into the dish. This small bowl of liver paste soup was filled with vigorous vitality, as if he saw a spectacular scene of all things flourishing. The liver paste, bamboo shoots and chicken soup seemed to come alive, dancing passionately in his mouth, playing the music of life.

With such a vibrant vitality and such a warm mood, it is no wonder that it can make a woman full of despair regain her desire for life.

only……

Xu Qing's face darkened.

He still didn't find a way.

He saw clearly every step and every technique used by Chef Abei when cooking. He was sure that if he were asked to cook it, he would be able to do it exactly, even the taste would be exactly the same.

However, this exuberant vitality and the thoughtfulness hidden in the food are not something he can reproduce.

What exactly is the difference?
What went wrong?
Xu Qing frowned and closed his eyes to think carefully. In his mind, the scenes of Master Abei cooking were broken into fragments, which he constantly split, reorganized and analyzed in his consciousness.

Master Abei looked at Xu Qing who was concentrating on thinking, just smiled slightly and did not disturb him.

Some things can only be gained through hard work.

Sometimes a word from others can give him an instant epiphany, allowing him to avoid many detours and reach his destination faster.

But sometimes, a detour doesn't mean a mistake.

But a shortcut that can avoid detours is not necessarily the correct one.

Especially for a skill like cooking that requires a lot of practice and personal experience to achieve success, the more experience you gain, the further you can go in the future.

For Master Abei, just one sentence from her could make him understand the predicament Xu Qing was in.

But she didn't want to do that. If possible, she hoped that Xu Qing would realize it as late as possible.

After entering that realm, the large amount of accumulation in the early stage will eventually form a qualitative change and become a more solid foundation.

Therefore, before entering that realm, Xu Qing had to accumulate and learn as much as possible.

It's a good thing that Xu Qing is now stuck in a dilemma and can't get out of it.

He would not miss any opportunity to touch that door, so unconsciously, he would take the initiative to accumulate and learn a lot. This spontaneous initiative was much more effective than Master Abe's instructions.

Moreover, it was quite interesting to see Xu Qing, who was incredibly talented, looking anxious and distressed.

Master Abe smiled secretly.
