Chapter 327
The official sighed and said, "Alas, young sir, please take this treasure back. I can't afford it."

Xu Qing took the package and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't think of any other way, so I have to resort to this."

"You two, please come in."

In fact, as soon as he saw the golden brocade clothes bestowed by the emperor, he knew who the young man in front of him was. After all, this golden brocade clothes was unique. There was only one in the world, and only one person could own it.

"I wonder why Mr. Xu wants to see me?"

The official asked.

Xu Qing said, "I came here to borrow the precious land of your mansion."

That yard?
The official was moved and asked, "What does Mr. Xu Qing want to use it for?"

"I'm going to hold a banquet and invite the whole city to come and taste the delicious food."

After hearing this, the official immediately understood.

Shen Cong had come to say hello before, and also gave him some expensive treasures, asking him not to lend the venue to outsiders in the near future.

Shen Cong is very good at networking and has maintained very good relationships with everyone in the city, especially with the celebrities in the city, with whom he has a deep friendship.

The official only agreed to do so because of his past friendship with Shen Cong, and he only agreed to not rent the venue to outsiders, which was not a big deal.

But he didn't expect that the person Shen Cong was going to deal with was actually this legendary chef who had the golden brocade clothes bestowed by the emperor.

The official sighed inwardly.

Alas, Shen Cong, Shen Cong, you are such a smart person on weekdays, why are you so confused at this moment?

A legendary figure like Xu Qing is rarely seen in hundreds of years.

Such people can only be friends, not enemies.

The official said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, if you like this shabby yard of my house, you can use it."

Xu Qing didn't expect the master to be so easy to talk to, and immediately thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, master."

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. It's my honor to meet someone like you, Mr. Xu Qing."

Neither Xu Qing nor Chef Tang had expected that a noble man of such a distinguished status would be so easy to talk to.

They are very approachable, much better than those people in the Great United.

Moreover, Xu Qing could see that the official was not acting in this manner on purpose, but was sincere about it.

The official was indeed sincere. After all, Xu Qing's legendary deeds had reached the ears of the people above him, and then were passed on to people like them. Everyone who had heard about the deeds was deeply curious about Xu Qing.

But legends are just legends after all. Who knows how many of them are fabricated and how many are true?

Now that he had met the person involved by chance, the official no longer concealed his curiosity and asked Xu Qing in detail about how he had rescued the imperial envoy.

Although time was tight, Xu Qing was grateful to the official and patiently recounted what had happened in detail, which was a feast for the official's ears.

The official said with emotion: "I never thought that the real story would be even stranger than the legend."

"Excuse me, sir, how did the legend spread?"

"They all say that you are the god of food in heaven, and that the dishes you make can revive the dead and flesh out bones, and that the effects are comparable to those of elixirs and magical medicines."

Xu Qing was amused by what he heard, "This is too exaggerated."

The official shook his head and said, "Is it an exaggeration? To me, if you are really the God of Cookery, then the series of legendary deeds that happened to you are actually reasonable."

"This……"

Xu Qing: This is really hard to explain.

They chatted for a while, and when they were about to leave, the official hesitated and said, "Mr. Xu, I don't know how Shen Cong offended you. Mr. Xu, please let him go for my sake."

"You are too kind, sir. I am just a chef, and Shen Cong is the president of the Great Alliance. How can I let him go?"

"It's different. Others may not understand, but I can see it. Mr. Xu and Shen Cong are from two different worlds. If Mr. Xu wants to deal with him, it will be as easy as crushing an ant." The official saw it clearly.

Shen Cong may indeed be powerful, but his power has prerequisites and limits. In Shanghai, he can be said to be able to call the wind and rain. But when he left Shanghai, he turned from a dragon into a worm.

Xu Qing is a true dragon soaring in the sky. No matter where he goes, a true dragon will always be a true dragon.

The official continued, "Mr. Xu, although Shen Cong is obsessed with power, in his heart, he still hopes to use his power to do good things for others. This is much better than other people who desperately try to gain power and only care about their own happiness. Mr. Xu, you disdain power, but in this city, in such an environment, they have only this one way to go. Mr. Xu can naturally come and go freely, but we are just ordinary people in the mortal world and cannot be free."

The official's words shocked Xu Qing's heart.

So much so that after saying goodbye to the official, he was thinking about this matter all the way back.

I thought about the Great Union, Shen Cong, the legendary kitchen utensils, and what Master Luo Tian said about power.

He thought about it for a long time and even forgot that he had to cook in three days.

Finally Xu Qing decided what he should do.

Just as the official said, he is not from this city.

In this case, he shouldn't leave too many questions and regrets.

He should leave the fate of this city to the people who live here and let them handle it.

He still had to take the legendary kitchen utensils away, but he needed to think carefully about the process and results.

Life is not as simple and easy as cooking, nor does it want to be completely under his control like cooking.

Life always involves too many people and things, and has far-reaching impacts on all aspects. He can no longer act recklessly as he did in the past.

No matter how troublesome the things are, you should take them into consideration.

Just as Xu Qing was thinking and preparing.

An uninvited guest came to visit the official, it was Shen Cong.

"Your Excellency."

Shen Cong bowed and greeted respectfully, like a subordinate or junior.

But the official knew that he came to call for punishment.

Because the news that he lent the venue to Xu Qing had spread throughout the city, Shen Cong naturally knew about it.

"sit down."

As soon as Shen Cong sat down, he asked directly: "Master, didn't we agree not to rent out the venue? Why is it that now..."

The official advised: "Shen Cong, give up. Don't be his enemy. This will not benefit either of you."

"Mr. Yuanwai?"

Shen Cong said in surprise.

He never thought that the gentleman would say such a thing.

He had been friends with the official for so many years, and had given countless treasures, gold, silver and jewelry to him. But Xu Qing only met the official once, and he made the official stand on his side, not only helping him out but also speaking for him!
How unfair!

Shen Cong was indignant.

Shen Cong's face immediately turned cold, and he said, "Sir, I, Shen Cong, respect you. But I hope you won't interfere in this matter. Otherwise, I'm not sure what I will do. Goodbye."

After saying that, Shen Cong turned away.

"Sir, how can Shen Cong say that!"

The servant said angrily.

The official shook his head and sighed, "I was at fault in this matter, so I can't blame him. Alas, I just hope this matter won't get out of hand."
