Chapter 391 The Influence of Talent

Xu Qing originally thought that after possessing the five extraordinary senses, apart from the fact that his senses became sharper, the impact on him would not be that serious.

At most, it would occasionally make him feel like a god, nearly omnipotent.

Whenever this thought came to his mind, Xu Qing would immediately adjust himself and constantly remind himself that he was just an ordinary person, and apart from being good at cooking, he was no different from ordinary people. And even in his best skill, cooking, there were many people who were better and more powerful than him.

Every friend or enemy he met had their best qualities, and everything he experienced constantly reminded him that he was never a god.

Xu Qing has gradually adjusted his mindset over this period of time and will no longer be affected by extraordinary abilities.

However, he did not realize that his extraordinary five senses had subtly changed him.

In his pursuit of the ultimate in delicious food, he gradually lost a part of himself and his original love for food.

This made Xu Qing break out in a cold sweat.

If he continues like this, perhaps one day he will forget that food is meant to bring happiness to people. One day he will be carried away by the extraordinary five senses, and only pursue the ultimate deliciousness, while forgetting other more important things, and eventually become a puppet controlled by the super five senses.

If Master Abei hadn't reminded him, Xu Qing probably wouldn't have thought about it in this direction at all.

When he thought of this, Xu Qing became very scared and his face turned slightly pale.

This surprised Amu and Ke Ling who were peeking through the window.

They had never seen Xu Qing show this kind of expression. Xu Qing had always been calm and composed, as if he could easily overcome any difficulties in front of him.

There was never any expression of fear on his face.

But at this moment, Xu Qing was really scared.

The talent he relied on most was gradually pulling him into the abyss.

Fortunately, it’s not too late now.

Xu Qing said: "Master, I understand... I know what I am missing."

"Ah Qing, as long as you understand."

Master Abe said with relief.

She has always been very concerned about Xu Qing's situation, and she would carefully read every letter from Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's ability made her feel at ease, but at the same time, Xu Qing's extraordinary talent always made her worried.

Because she was very familiar with people with extraordinary talents. Her husband and her children both had extremely extraordinary talents, so she knew very well where people like them were most likely to get lost.

They are most likely to be confused by the talents they rely on and fail to see their true selves.

"But, Master, what should I do?"

Xu Qing looked down at his hands, feeling a little worried. "This talent was born with me, and it affects me all the time. Every time I taste food, it chatters in my ears. It's too difficult to eliminate its influence and see my true self."

Master Abei said, "Ah Qing, let's make them unable to speak."

Xu Qing was surprised: "What?"

"If someone has a sensitive tongue, then let him not use his tongue to taste. After eliminating the influence of his talent, use other senses to feel, smell, and see with your eyes. This way, you can get closer to your true self."

Xu Qing said: "But my five senses are all very sharp, and I can't eliminate the influence of the five senses. If I really eliminate the five senses, I won't be able to feel anything."

Master Abe thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then it will cause them more trouble."

"Adding trouble?"

"A Qing, I remember you said that when you taste a dish, you can feel the shortcomings of the dish, and at the same time, ways to improve it and how to make it will emerge in your mind." Xu Qing nodded, and this feeling became stronger and more accurate as his strength increased.

Now he can simulate real dishes exactly with just his imagination, and coupled with his superb cooking skills, it can be said that as long as it is a dish that he thinks of in his mind, he can reproduce it perfectly in reality. This is the ability to turn imagination into reality.

Chef Abei asked, "If a dish is completely flawed, what will happen to your keen five senses?"

This really stumped Xu Qing. He had never eaten a dish that was completely imperfect.

The worst dishes he had ever eaten were at least made by top chefs like Hong Xi and Li Shun.

Although Hong Xi and Li Shun seem weak in Juxialou, if they go to other restaurants, each of them is a chef who can take charge of their own business and has the final say in the kitchen.

Senior chefs are already rare talents.

Top-notch chefs are rare.

All the dishes Xu Qing had eaten, no matter how bad they were, had their merits. It can be said that no dish was completely flawed.

If there really were such dishes, even those with keen five senses that often find fault would probably be too lazy to bother with them.

Because when faced with dishes like this, finding fault with them would only be endless and a waste of energy.

At this time, Xu Qing understood Master Abei's thoughts.

Since the extraordinary five senses are relentlessly pursuing the ultimate in delicious food, why not do the opposite? Perhaps the extraordinary five senses will go on strike as a result.

The more Xu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that it might actually work!
But where can I find a dish that has so many flaws?
Probably only beginners who don't know how to cook can make this kind of dish.

As Xu Qing was thinking this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ke Ling and A Mao hiding by the window, and an idea flashed in his mind.

Xu Qing immediately said, "Master, if we let Ke Ling cook, can she make dishes like this?"

Hearing this, Ke Ling suddenly became a little angry.

She certainly doesn't have much talent in cooking, but it's not like she would make dishes that are so flawless, right?
"Ke Ling?"

Master Abei followed Xu Qing's gaze and saw the brother and sister hiding by the window.

She smiled helplessly and said, "It depends on whether Ke Ling is willing or not. Ke Ling, A Mao, there is no need to hide anymore, come in."

Ke Ling and A Mao walked in from the door and stood in front of the two of them.

Ke Ling turned her head away, not wanting to even look at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing in a moment of anxiety, hurting Ke Ling's self-esteem.

Amu was caught between Ke Ling and Xu Qing, feeling a little helpless.

Xu Qing sincerely apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Ke Ling, I didn't mean to say you're bad..."

"You're just saying bad things about me."

Ke Ling pursed her lips and said angrily.

At this moment, Ke Ling was furious, aggrieved and upset. If someone said that her cooking skills were bad, she would not be so angry, because it was the truth. She did not think it was shameful to be bad at cooking. There are always people with talent and people without talent in the world. She was very open-minded.

But just hearing Xu Qing say this made her feel extremely sad and uncomfortable. She couldn't describe the feeling. She only knew that she didn't want to forgive Xu Qing at all at this moment.
