Chapter 277 Thinking
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiang En couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face when he saw that even the two elders of the dark cuisine world seemed to have changed their identities, praising Xu Qing and thanking him repeatedly.

The power of something as intangible as the mind is hard to imagine, except for experiencing it personally.

However, seeing the extraordinary performance of the four elders in front of him, Xiang En could feel something.

Does the mind really have such a powerful force?

If that was the case, then the dish she made might have the same power.

No, it will be even more powerful than that.

Because Xu Qing's mental strength at this moment will help her and make her mind even stronger!

According to what that adult said, feelings will not remain in the diners' hearts for a long time, but will fade away with time. The stronger the feelings, the faster they will fade away.

There are very few people in the world who can keep their affection in the hearts of diners for a long time. Even if there are, they are extremely rare, no more than five people.

As soon as Xiang En saw Xu Qing's dish, she understood the theme of Xu Qing's dish.

Fish leap over the dragon gate, vying for the first place.

It was a scene of struggle and energy.

Therefore, at that moment, Xiang En made up her mind that she would wait until the four elders had tasted Xu Qing's dishes before presenting her own dishes.

Because the meaning of this dish is tranquility and transcendence, it is the philosophy of a hermit and waiting in peace, so it naturally conflicts with the theme of "competition".

If she served the dishes first, and was quiet first and then fighting, then the mood of "quiet" would be destroyed by "fighting".

But if you are at the back, first competing and then being quiet, after experiencing the mood of "competing", you will feel like you have run 800 meters. Although your blood is boiling while running, once that feeling disappears, what is left is the fatigue and relaxation after exercise. You just want to find a place to have a good rest, which just fits the mood of "quiet".

The stronger Xu Qing's feelings at this moment, the greater the impact it brings to everyone, and the more beneficial it is for Xiang En.

And now, she only needs to wait quietly, waiting for the enthusiasm of the elders to pass, waiting for the sense of slackness she needs to appear.

Just as Xiang En expected, the four elders calmed down after a period of excitement.

Xu Qing was not surprised by this. His feelings had not yet solidified, so it was difficult for them to remain infectious for a long time. Besides, this kind of feeling full of "competition", this kind of feeling that was too strong and passionate, was destined to not stay in his heart for too long.

At this moment, Xu Qing also realized Xiang En's thoughts, and understood why Xiang En did not seize the initiative like he did in the previous two duels, but instead fell behind.

The reason is that Xiang En wants to wait until the moment when his affection fades away, and then use the aftereffect of his affection to add luster to his own dishes.

Very smart move.

At the same time, a deeper understanding of the mind is needed.

And this kind of understanding can only be truly realized by a chef with a caring heart.

Is Xiang En this kind of chef?

No.

Xu Qing thought that Xiang En's understanding of the heart was deep in some places but shallow in others, as if he only knew the theory but didn't know how to do it specifically.

Because if she really understood what the mind was, she would not have cooked this dish that is full of the meaning of “stillness”.

It seems that there is someone behind her who is advising her, and that person has a very deep understanding of the meaning of things, and even knows how to add meaning to kitchen utensils.

Xu Qing had never thought that he could use kitchen utensils to express his love for his family.

Even Master Abe, who had the most thorough understanding of the mind, had never mentioned this.

Who is it?

Is there such a genius in the dark cuisine world? Genius...

When Xu Qing thought of these two words, a vague idea emerged in his mind.

Maybe it was him...

After Xu Qing realized that he possessed five extraordinary senses, he realized that one day he would face that person, the undisputed genius in the dark culinary world, who possessed the same five extraordinary senses as him - Kaiyou.

The more Xu Qing comes into contact with the dark culinary world, the more likely he is to meet him.

When Xu Qing thought of Kaiyou, the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger than ever before.

It is precisely because he possesses the five extraordinary senses that he understands how strong this talent is, to the point of being inhuman.

All along, Xu Qing has been able to defeat the chefs of the dark cuisine world, on the one hand because of his extraordinary five senses, and on the other hand because of his mind, something that the chefs of the dark cuisine world could never possess.

However, if this person who has a deep understanding of the mind is really Kaiyou.

Then Xu Qing’s two major advantages were wiped out in an instant.

No, it should be said that he was at a disadvantage, because the other party was older than him and understood his mind more deeply than he did.

If Xu Qing were to face Kaiyou at this moment, he would probably be unable to fight back.

However, he had already anticipated that he would confront Kaiyou, so Xu Qing was not too panicked.

After a brief moment of tension and panic, Xu Qing slowly adjusted his breathing and restored his mentality to normal.

At the same time, he was silently thinking about what to do next.

It's time to go back to Sichuan.

His intention must become stronger.

Only in this way can we deal with the next incident.

While Xu Qing was thinking, and Xiang En was waiting and anticipating, the four elders all showed a hint of fatigue on their faces.

After all, they are no longer teenagers. Even if they regain the enthusiasm and passion of youth, they no longer have the corresponding energy and physical strength.

Xiang En stepped forward and said, "Please, four elders, taste my dish - Jiang Taigong Fishing Picture."

The four elders turned their eyes to the painting of Jiang Taigong fishing. This dish was not inferior to Xu Qing's dish in terms of artistic conception and exquisiteness, but it was less shocking and more exquisite than Xu Qing's dish.

They were shocked by Xu Qing's leaping fish and chose to taste that dish first.

After tasting it, the dish in front of them, which was full of the meaning of "quietness", made them feel more comfortable and attentive.

Four pairs of chopsticks reached out to the dishes at the same time, reaching into the rippling blue lake, picking up the naughty little fish and putting them into their mouths.

As soon as they took a sip, the four of them shuddered all over and sighed in comfort.

There is a refreshing and cool taste in the mouth, which collides with the heat of the mouth itself, making people shiver uncontrollably, and the whole body seems to be washed by this cool taste.

It's like drinking a sip of sweet spring water in the scorching heat of summer; a refreshing breath instantly spreads and penetrates deep into your heart.

Coupled with the smooth texture of the fish meat, it feels as if a small fish really jumped out of the cool river water and jumped directly into your mouth.

It brings with it moist, sweet moisture and fresh, vivid taste, hitting the taste buds straight away, and scatters at the moment of impact, melting in the mouth, turning into an incomparably delicious soup that wraps around the taste buds and immerses them in this incomparable deliciousness.
