Chapter 46 Result
Wen Shizhang squinted his eyes in enjoyment and unconsciously slowed down his chewing. He chewed the food in his mouth carefully and slowly savored the cruelty and tenderness.
The intense spiciness and the delicate and soft noodles form a perfect match, first giving you a sense of pain and then soothing you gently. In this process, the sense of comfort you feel increases exponentially.
At this moment, the body and mind seem to have received a wonderful massage. Each press brings a tingling pain. After each pain, it feels refreshing as if a heavy burden has been lifted. It makes people feel that the body and mind are much lighter, almost as if floating in the air.
The intense heat made Wen Shizhang sweat all over, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his body like rain.
At the same time, the expression on his face was extremely peaceful and calm, his eyes were slightly closed, with a faint peaceful smile on his lips. In a trance, it seemed as if one could see the Buddha statue in the temple holding a flower and smiling.
However, no matter how slowly Wen Shizhang eats, the portion of a bowl of noodles is limited after all.
Wen Shizhang drank the last mouthful of soup and sighed regretfully, "This taste is really wonderful. But it's a pity that the wonderful time is too short."
Xu Qing smiled slightly and waved behind him. Three more maids came forward and placed the trays in their hands on the table.
When I opened the lid, there were still three bowls of noodles that looked exactly the same.
"This... is it three other flavors?"
Wen Shizhang stared at the soup without blinking.
Xu Qing apologized, "No, these three bowls of noodles are the same as the previous three bowls."
Wen Shizhang felt a little disappointed, but then he cheered up again.
It doesn’t matter if they are exactly the same, he just hasn’t had enough!
Wen Shizhang followed the previous order and started eating from the first bowl of cold soup noodles.
The familiar taste brought a completely different feeling from before.
Wen Shizhang's eyes widened unconsciously.
The cool and sour taste echoes the spicy feeling remaining in the mouth. The taste buds, which were already extremely sensitive due to the spicy taste, reacted even more intensely under the stimulation of the cool taste. The coolness and sourness seemed to have been elevated to a higher level at this moment. The cool feeling became more distinct, and the mouth seemed to be frozen, while the sour taste rushed straight to the forehead. The skin on the top of the head trembled three times as if twitching, as if a substantial electric current was running violently throughout the body. Every time it passed through a place, the body would tremble unconsciously.
After the intense feeling, an unprecedented feeling of comfort swept over me. My stomach, which was already slightly full, started growling again, and I couldn't wait to stuff in more food.
Wen Shizhang stopped talking and just kept eating with his head down.
After finishing one bowl of noodles, he quickly moved on to the next one.
Under the perception of sensitive taste buds, flavors that have never been experienced before emerge one after another. It is obviously a familiar taste that has already been eaten once, but it presents a completely different flavor.
It is like traveling among famous mountains and rivers. Every time you pass a mountain and look back, you will see a different scenery from different perspectives.
The beautiful scenery that was originally blocked and the tiny details that had never been noticed before emerged one by one in the process of appreciating them again. Every time I appreciate them, it is like digging out a deeply buried treasure, which makes people feel endless joy and sense of accomplishment. And this already magnificent scenery adds countless freshness and vividness.
When Wen Shizhang got the last bowl of noodles, he thought it would taste more spicy, but to his surprise, the spicy feeling was much milder.
The spicy feeling in the mouth was as aggressive as a hedgehog when it first appeared, mercilessly invading the taste buds. But the second time it appeared, it became much gentler, like a little hedgehog retracting its sharp spines, revealing its soft belly to him, revealing the side that it only shows to the closest people without reservation, it instantly breaks down people's defenses, leaving only tenderness and love in their hearts.
Wen Shizhang had an illusion that the communication between him and the bowl of noodles was not just a one-way one, but it seemed that the bowl of noodles was also responding to him.
He put love into this bowl of noodles, and the bowl of noodles seemed to realize this and showed its love for him at the same time.
Wen Shizhang knew very well that this was impossible.
How could a bowl of noodles have a will?
How can a bowl of noodles have feelings?
However, the wonderful feeling in his mouth really brought him this feeling, which went beyond reason and made him indulge in it wholeheartedly. Who could resist this feeling of being wrapped in love, warming his body and mind and almost moving him to tears?
After finishing the last sip of soup, Wen Shizhang let out a long sigh of relief.
He closed his eyes, the touch in his mouth still lingering on the tenderness just now, that selfless and unreserved love, which reminded him of his mother's arms when he was young, a warm and peaceful harbor where he could unload all his fatigue.
Unlike before, this time after eating three bowls of noodles, he was completely satisfied both physically and mentally, and couldn't be more satisfied.
At this moment, there was no other food in the world that could arouse his interest or whet his appetite.
Even if Xu Qing brought him the San Tong Noodles again, he had no appetite to eat it.
Chang Lin sat at the table and watched Wen Shizhang finish the whole meal, his face turning greener and greener.
Even a blind person could see the happiness and peace on Wen Shizhang's face.
Chang Lin's eyes are not blind, he can see it clearly. Even if he doesn't want to see, he can feel the sense of happiness coming from Wen Shizhang.
Wen Shizhang never showed this kind of expression when eating the dishes he cooked.
Chang Lin was so jealous that his teeth were about to grind.
Although he didn't bother to please Wen Shizhang's appetite, nor did he want to spend time figuring out his preferences.
But this doesn't mean he can tolerate others doing this.
He is the chef of the Governor's Mansion!
The only chef!
Anyone who wants to challenge his position will only end up in this way.
The maids cleared the plates and bowls on the table, and Xu Qing asked them to put the three noodles on the table again.
This time, the three noodles were placed in front of Chang Lin.
Xu Qing said, "Mr. Chang, please."
The wonderful smell penetrated into Chang Lin's mouth and nose.
He had a very keen nose and could tell how delicious these three dishes tasted without tasting them.
The dishes and chopsticks were placed in front of him, waiting for him to use them.
Chang Lin felt that his arm was as heavy as a thousand pounds at this moment. He suddenly didn't dare to stretch out his hand or taste the dish.
I dare not uncover the facts right before my eyes.
Chang Lin took a deep breath, frowned, and without saying a word, he stood up and left.
Xu Qing watched him leave, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Chang, did I pass?"
Chang Lin suddenly stood still, veins popping out on his forehead, and anger quickly spread from his heart to his whole body.
Chang Lin endured it again and again, and finally spoke, saying in a barely audible voice: "Passed."
After saying this, he didn't want to stay here for another second, so he left quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
