Chapter 61 Right and Wrong

Wen Shizhang was also silently savoring the rare delicacy in his mouth.

Although it was not the first time he tasted the dishes made by Xu Qing, the shock they brought to him became stronger and stronger.

That is the resonance of body and mind.

It is through taste that we dig out the treasure called memory hidden in the deepest part of our body, and dig out the beauty that should have disappeared in time.

What he eats is not just noodles, but the fireworks of life that belong to everyone.

If Wen Shizhang still had doubts in his heart before eating the noodles, he no longer had any doubts after eating the noodles.

Xu Qing won this duel.

Qian Rong and Zhao Boming also finished their noodles. They squinted their eyes and quietly savored the touching and beautiful moment.

After a long while, Qian Rong finally spoke: "There is only one person in Sichuan, if not in China, who can put his heart and soul into the dishes and use them so skillfully. That person is the Sichuan fairy Chef Abei. What is your relationship with Chef Abei?"

Xu Qing clasped his fists and said, "I am learning from Master Abei."

Qian Rong said with emotion: "So he is her disciple, no wonder. Master Abei really accepted an incredible disciple!"

Zhao Boming said, "Yes. Such a wonderful taste is really shocking, and the initial touch hidden in my heart has also been awakened. I am really ashamed. For so many years, I have been obsessed with the taste of food, thinking that taste is the foundation of a chef's career, and only those who make good taste can be called good chefs. However, I forgot that the most important thing a chef should do is to bring smiles and happiness to people. Thank you, child, this thought is more precious to me than anything else."

Wen Shizhang smiled and said, "Now that the dishes made by the two chefs have been tasted, it's time to announce the results."

Qian Rong and Zhao Boming nodded at the same time.

Qian Rong said, "Chang Lin, come forward."

At this moment, Chang Lin was still immersed in the shock of the knife skills. He came back to his senses when he heard Qian Rong's call and hurried over.

He walked closer and saw the white bowls in front of the three people, which had been eaten till not even a drop of soup was left. His heart sank suddenly.

impossible!
How could the power of the poisonous grass fairy be broken so easily!

Wen Shizhang and the other two said at the same time: "The winner of this cooking competition is Xu Qing, congratulations."

Just as the three of them said a few words of congratulations to Xu Qing, they heard Chang Lin yelling unwillingly, "This is simply impossible! He can never be the winner!"

Qian Rong's face darkened and he said, "Chang Lin, stop making trouble..."

"shut up!"

Chang Lin's eyes were bloodshot, and his neck and face were all red and purple. This horrifying appearance made people tremble in their hearts.

Qian Rong was also shocked for a moment and said nothing.

Chang Lin stared at Xu Qing fiercely with his eyes wide open, "Boy, what kind of magic did you use? I see, you also used hallucinogenic poisonous herbs, right! Otherwise, how could they possibly support you!"

Chang Lin couldn't believe that his efforts, his hard work, and the bliss he had built could possibly fail!

Qian Rong said angrily: "Chang Lin, you are really going too far!"

Zhao Boming said: "Chang Lin, if you lose, you have to admit it."

"I didn't lose! I can't lose!" Chang Lin roared out of control.

Xu Qing said nothing, but turned back to the stove, reheated the remaining noodles and soup base, and handed them to Chang Lin.

"If you don't believe me, just try it for yourself." Chang Lin hesitated and took the bowl of noodle soup. He had seen the knife skills before, but this kid's other skills were not very outstanding. No matter how wonderful the taste of this bowl of noodles was, it would never surpass his taste of bliss.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles and put it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, his eyes suddenly widened. He used the chopsticks to quickly search in the soup, and familiar ingredients appeared before his eyes.

"Mung beans, licorice, honeysuckle..."

This is a common detoxifying herb, especially effective in relieving drug poisoning.

The hallucinogenic and anesthetic effects of the fairy fruit can make people feel like they are in a fantasy world and numb the senses. Coupled with Chang Lin's excellent cooking skills, it creates a feeling as if they are in paradise.

However, no matter how magical the fairy grass is, it is ultimately just a poisonous weed, and detoxifying herbs are naturally able to restrain it.

Once the sensory paralysis was lifted, the judges were able to taste the food again.

Chang Lin immediately understood that he had been fooled. This guy probably knew that he would use the poisonous herb Tianxianzi, so he had prepared a countermeasure long ago.

No, it shouldn't be just that.

Even though the sensory paralysis was lifted, the judges' hearts had already been conquered by the blissful pleasure. That kind of ultimate feeling is unforgettable once experienced. No other taste or feeling should be able to make them excited.

Chang Lin picked up another piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully.

The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes. Countless flavors bloom in your mouth, colliding with each other and changing into more flavors. It is so complex that it is difficult to describe. For a moment, it is impossible to tell what the taste is.

Delicious, so delicious!
This wonderful taste will intoxicate both your body and mind.

Suddenly, Chang Lin's eyes became dazed. The complex and wonderful taste was like a fish, swimming playfully along the taste sense all the way to the deepest part of his heart.

Wherever it swims, countless images appear before its eyes and countless sounds echo in its ears.

Suddenly, a familiar and clear cough sounded in his ears. Chang Lin tried desperately to avoid it, but the scene was in the deepest part of his mind and he could not escape it. He could only watch it emerge and become clearer and clearer.

"Son..."

The father lying on the hospital bed said weakly. He looked at Chang Lin with a proud look on his face, "Our family restaurant will depend on you in the future..."

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely..."

Before the boy could finish his words, the person on the hospital bed breathed his last with a smile on his face.

Chang Lin suddenly threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

He was panting heavily, still in shock.

Why did the old guy who had died a long time ago appear before his eyes? Chang Lin thought he had completely forgotten that hateful face!
If it weren't for these last words, he wouldn't have wasted his precious time trying to run the restaurant well. Those who were far less talented than him later became successful, but he could only run that shabby restaurant and waste his time!
How could he be willing to do so!
If the dark cuisine world hadn't given him a second life, he would still be in that remote town, running that debt-ridden restaurant, dreaming of a dream that was simply impossible to achieve!

The day he left town, he burned down the restaurant.

The moment he saw the restaurant burned to ashes in the flames, he felt an immense sense of relief.

Why? Why would something that had long been discarded and not worth remembering emerge?
He now has everything! Wealth, fame, power, status, and superb cooking skills that far surpass others, which that small restaurant could never give him!

His choice was not wrong!
What's wrong with people climbing to higher places? Is it right to stay in the mud for the rest of your life?
He was not wrong! Even in front of that old guy, he could say that he was not wrong!
But, for some reason, his father's face appeared before his eyes again. The father who should have left peacefully with a smile on his face was now staring at him with condemnation in his eyes.

He obviously did nothing wrong...
