Chapter 276 Worry
The mind, this kind of spiritual power, can bring people spiritual touch and enlightenment.

When this feeling is combined with the wonderful taste, the effect is unprecedentedly powerful.

The pleasure felt by the body drives the realization of the mind. The realization and pleasure of the mind are fed back to the body's senses, further strengthening the happiness that has already reached its peak and pushing it to an unprecedented peak.

The dual pleasure and resonance of body and mind ultimately makes people feel unimaginable joy and happiness. This wonderful feeling of unity of body and soul surpasses all the happiness in the world.

At this moment, the four people were filled with conflicting feelings. They wanted to sit limply in their chairs, relax, and enjoy the joy that made their bodies and minds tremble. At the same time, they were inspired by their hearts, and they couldn't wait to pursue their ideals, to do those meaningless but exciting "stupid things", without caring about other people's feelings, and to be a "fool" who was laughed at by others.

This passionate emotion continued to ferment in their hearts, causing them to forget their esteemed status as elders and to forget to maintain their demeanor. Instead, they couldn't help but stand up and dance.

Elder Li waved his hands in the air, as if he was splashing ink, and kept saying, "I have always hoped that I could become a great calligrapher like Wang Xizhi. My wonderful brushwork and paintings would go down in history. Unfortunately, my family was poor when I was young, and I couldn't afford to buy brushes and ink, let alone hire a teacher. I could only hold a branch and write and draw on the ground, hoping that I could practice good calligraphy. Although the words I wrote at the beginning were as ugly as dog crawling, I always found pleasure in it."

"As time went by, I had forgotten my past dreams. Even if I had enough money to buy pens and ink, and had the time and energy to practice, I could no longer find the joy and enthusiasm I had at the beginning. But now, I feel that my enthusiasm has returned! I want to buy the best paper and the best ink, so that I won't feel bored or tired even if I write for a whole day and a whole night!"

Luo Tian even held his wine gourd and sighed softly, "I have always wanted to brew wine by myself and make good wine that satisfies me. I have tried many times, but I always fail. Either the fermentation fails, the quality of the wine is not good, or the taste is not satisfactory. Brewing wine also depends on talent. Although I love wine and have good talent in cooking, I have repeatedly hit a wall in brewing wine. In the end, I, the best winemaker, can't make the wine I like. Things in the world are always like this, and they can't be as good as we want. Besides, after getting older, I have long been accustomed to compromise and concession."

"But now, I still want to try again, to brew wine that satisfies me with my own hands. Even if it takes ten or twenty years. No matter how many times I fail, I still want to try again."

"It's a dream from my youth."

Elder Huang sighed softly, "I thought I had forgotten it a long time ago, but I didn't expect to remember it now. It's funny to say that my favorite thing to do when I was young was to catch crickets. Crickets of different sizes have different calls, some are high and loud, some are low, some are crisp, and some are hoarse. I used to know what a cricket looked like as soon as I heard its call. At that time, I knew all the crickets in the surrounding area and could call out their names. Later, when I grew up, my heart was filled with too many things and I had to bear too many things, so there was no room for crickets anymore. It's a pity that if I go to catch crickets at this age, I'm afraid people will laugh at me."

Master Luo Tian said, "What's wrong with laughing? At our age, the dirt is buried up to our necks, what are we afraid of?"

Elder Huang laughed out loud and said, "You are right! What are you afraid of? What are you still worrying about?"

At this moment, Elder He, who had been silent, was seen crying silently, with tears streaming down his face.

"Elder He, how are you?" Elder Huang asked with concern.

Elder He sighed and said, "...I think of the girl I loved when I was young. She was like the willow branches by the river, beautiful as a painting. People dared not approach her easily for fear of disturbing her. Before I left my hometown, I mustered up the courage to say goodbye to her, but as soon as I arrived at her door, I lost my courage and had to leave silently. It was not until later that I heard that she had already married and moved to a neighboring village. I have never seen her since then."

The bitterness of youth has long since turned into a helpless sigh in the passage of time.

Elder He had let it go long ago, but at this moment, he thought of the past again, and the last time he saw her. The same emotions started to stir in his heart again, but in the end they turned into bitterness and regret.

The feelings of his youth had long since disappeared in time, and he just wanted to make up for the regrets of the past.

If he could see her again, Elder He would definitely say hello to her and then say goodbye seriously.

This way, he was satisfied.

There are so many things I want to do but have not done. The happiness I once forgot and the dreams I never realized gradually become blurred and faded in time until I can no longer remember them. Even if I remember them, I can't find the happiness of the past.

However, at this moment, under the thoughtfulness of this dish, the precious things that were once lost in time have returned to their hearts again.

Time has changed many things, but there are always some things worth remembering.

Even if it is a small flower on the roadside, as long as it has touched people, it is worth remembering.

What’s more, they are the lost ideals and dreams of the past.

Now, I have brought back these dishes one by one and treasure them in my heart.

It took a long time for the four people's excited emotions to slowly subside, but the happiness and passion did not dissipate, but settled in their hearts.

"Xu Qing, thank you so much. This dish... this dish is absolutely amazing!"

Elder Li racked his brains to praise Xu Qing, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

The emotions in my heart are difficult to describe in words, and no amount of praise can express even a fraction of them.

This left Elder Li speechless for a moment.

Luo Tian said: "Xu Qing, your kindness has helped me regain my former pursuit and happiness. This is a priceless treasure! It is the most precious treasure in the world! Thank you very much."

"Yes, Xu Qing, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

The heartfelt thanks expressed all their feelings, but in the end, all they could say were the two words "thank you very much".

Especially Elder Huang and Elder He, the two elders of the dark culinary world, for the first time they truly tasted what the intentions of the light culinary world were.

That was a terrifying thing that they once viewed as a great enemy, but when they truly experienced it, all that was left in their hearts was happiness and joy.

Thoughts are not something to be feared.

Perhaps its power is terrifying and unpredictable, but when it flows into the heart, it will only nourish the heart like a warm current.

It brings equal happiness and touch to everyone who tastes this dish, without distinction.
