Chapter 382: Submission
At this moment, there is no other word to describe this feeling except satisfaction.

It is the ultimate comfort and happiness, the fulfillment of all desires, the relaxation and soothing of the body, and the peace and tranquility of the mind.

At this moment, they seemed to be stepping into ice and fire.

The feeling of novelty never stops in the mouth, like a galloping express train, with countless beautiful sceneries flying past before the eyes.

But the soul has found peace and satisfaction in this constant change, as if the emptiness inside has been completely filled, and every hidden desire deep in the soul has been satisfied, making people too lazy to move and just want to indulge in it.

The food in the mouth is swallowed into the throat unconsciously, and before the teeth and tongue feel the emptiness, people raise their chopsticks in a trance, subconsciously pick up the dishes and put them into their mouths, filling the emptiness that has not yet come, and letting the feeling of satisfaction and pleasure fill the depths of their hearts without stopping.

The portions Xu Qing gave were generous, but no matter how many dishes there were, they were all eaten up without people noticing, leaving only an empty plate.

They already felt a little bloated and painful in their stomachs, and their minds felt completely peaceful and satisfied, but they still subconsciously poked around in the plate with chopsticks, trying to find a trace of meat residue in the bare plate.

The appetite has been satisfied, and the soul has also been satisfied, but human beings are such creatures that they do not know how to be satisfied. No matter how much satisfaction they have, it cannot fill the desire and pursuit for food. Even if they have eaten all the delicacies from the mountains and seas in the world, they are still looking forward to more delicious, more beautiful and novel food.

Looking forward to being able to feel happy again, looking forward to greater satisfaction and pleasure.

It is this never-ending desire that drives chefs to constantly pursue the ultimate in culinary skills.

What is the end of the extreme?
Are you satisfied?

No, the ultimate end is never being satisfied.

The constant pursuit, the constant desire, is like a traveler who keeps taking steps and travels across thousands of mountains and rivers.

No matter how far you go, how beautiful the scenery you see, how high the mountain you climb, or how great the honor you receive, you still cannot stop moving forward.

The end of the extreme is constant pursuit, constant crossing of the extreme, constant expansion of the road ahead, never stopping for a moment.

Just like human desire, it will never be satisfied.

And it will only stop at death.

And as long as there is still a breath, I will not stop pursuing.

Even though there was still desire in everyone's eyes, Xu Qing would not continue to serve them food.

If you keep eating it, you’re going to get sick.

At that time he will also be responsible for treating the disease, which will be a double effort.

When people realized that Xu Qing would not continue serving food, they could only sigh helplessly, lean back in their chairs with their arms around their stomachs, and quietly enjoy the peace and satisfaction.

The hall was silent. People were too lazy to even talk. They didn't want to waste time and energy communicating with others. They didn't want to destroy this satisfaction. They just wanted to enjoy this beauty alone.

After a long time, when the sense of satisfaction gradually dissipated and the novel taste in the mouth gradually faded, people's reason finally broke free from the control of desire and gradually returned, and the brain also regained the ability to think.

At this time, people are finally able to get interested in talking and communicating, excitedly expressing their feelings, and eager to share this happiness and beauty with others.

The originally silent hall suddenly became lively, and the heated conversations made the restaurant seem like a riot. Even those who used to hate noise the most now happily enjoyed the noise, happily blending in, and sharing their happiness with the familiar people around them.

This was especially true for Amu. He first ran to Ke Ling, and the two siblings praised Xu Qing one after another. As they were talking, they became unconvinced and the two of them competed to see how to praise more appropriately.

In the end, Ke Ling, who knew nothing about cooking, was defeated. Although Amu was still a beginner, with his extraordinary talent, he could speak accurately with just a few words.

This made Ke Ling secretly make up her mind. It seemed that she should learn cooking skills well. Even if she didn't learn as well as Amu, at least she couldn't lose in conversation next time!
After discussing with Ke Ling, A Mao quickly ran to Master Abei. The two of them talked more about cooking techniques than simply discussing feelings and expressing emotions.

This time, Amu was completely inferior to Master Abe. Amu could only listen blankly to Master Abe's detailed analysis and explanation, unable to get a word in.

As for Master Abei, although she had great confidence in Xu Qing, she was still deeply shocked when Xu Qing really did it, really put this impossible dish on the table and really let people taste it.

There are actually people who can integrate these two conflicting characteristics together, making the dishes not only have intense stimulation and novelty, but also have a long aftertaste that is endlessly memorable.

Even if Chef Abei tasted the ingredients and techniques carefully, he couldn't tell how Xu Qing did it.

The combination of countless flavors can actually achieve external harmony and unity despite the conflicts with each other. This harmonious taste not only does not weaken the impact of the flavors, but instead provides them with a perfect duel arena, allowing the flavors to fight each other to their heart's content.

Compared with Han Jiang's forced balancing of the four flavors, this is more delicate and refined, brings a stronger impact, and at the same time has infinite novelty.

It is really amazing.

Han Jiang, who is good at creating conflicts between flavors, was even more amazed when he tasted this dish.

To put it simply, Han Jiang’s dishes are like digging a fish pond at home, raising a few small fish, and putting in a few lotus leaves to create a vibrant scene.

Xu Qing’s dishes are like the vast ocean that holds countless fish and shrimps. There is no need to deliberately create vitality for them, because they are the concrete embodiment of vitality.

All life force is born here, grows here, and ultimately returns here.

Countless births and deaths, destructions and creations, are born and die in it.

Han Jiang is like a baby who has just learned to walk. He tries his best to balance the four flavors and let them fight with each other, so as to create an intense taste experience and a strong impact.

But he couldn't control these four flavors, so he could only watch them cancel each other out, unable to do anything.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, manipulated these four or even countless flavors in the palm of his hand, and used them to construct an entire world, a vast and extremely profound world.

In terms of taste, Xu Qing is like an omnipotent creator.

Is this what a top chef is made of?
It's really terrible.

Before, when facing Xu Qing’s knife skills, Han Jiang would feel desperate.

But at this moment, he no longer even felt despair.

When faced with a powerful force that is absolutely irresistible and a person that is absolutely impossible to defeat, there is no other feeling than to bow down at its feet with sincere submission.
