Chapter 1353: Chen Huixi Extra (Part 3)_3

Qin Huai: ...

Didn't Xu Cheng have a bit of an aversion to food a few years ago? Why has he been so obsessed with eating in the past two years?

"It's because we're in-laws, that's why there's deep hatred," Qin Huai spoke nonsense, "The Qin Family and the Jiang Family have never been on good terms. Jiang Cheng... Jiang Feng's great-grandmother had a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to Jiang Feng's grandfather and hemorrhaged massively. She passed away after a few years, and then Qin's Steamed Bun Shop's business plummeted. The Qin Family wanted Jiang Feng's great-grandfather to give them a few secret recipes to save the shop's business, but he refused."

"Master Jiang thought the real reason Qin's Steamed Bun Shop declined was because Qin Family members lacked skill. The Qin Family's ancestors were also Imperial Chefs, they should have their own secret recipes. Skill is essential; without expertise, even more secret recipes would be useless."

"But the Qin Family didn't see it that way. They believed that although they hadn't learned the secret recipes, Jiang Feng's great-grandmother had stolen them. These recipes originally belonged to the Qin Family and should not be held by the Jiang Family. They were sure she had taught the Qin Family's skills to her children. This led to a major dispute, almost severing ties, and the families never reconciled amidst the subsequent chaos of war."

"My master is a direct descendant of the Qin Family and forbids me to have any contact with the Jiang Family."

"Jixia is Jiang Feng's apprentice, so of course, I cannot take her as my disciple, no matter how talented she is. I can only teach her secretly."

Zheng Siyuan's face was full of 'Alright, I don't understand, nor do I agree, but since you put it this way, just let it be.'

"The day after tomorrow is Huihui's birthday, celebrating at Taifeng Building. Are you going to..." Zheng Siyuan started feeling worried for Qin Huai, worrying that Qin Huai's mysterious master would get angry.

"You said yourself, it's Huihui's birthday, what does it have to do with me? I'm just responsible for making the Longevity Noodles, Huihui is the main character; my master won't find out," Qin Huai said, glancing at the noodles on the table. "The noodles should be edible now, quickly taste and see how they are."

Zheng Siyuan nodded, picked up the noodles, and took a small bite.

"Slurp."

The sound was very soft.

To make such a sound is the greatest respect for a bowl of noodles.

Zheng Siyuan said nothing, just silently chewed the noodles in his mouth, slowly swallowed, and took a small sip of the noodle soup.

"I still can't quite believe your skill has reached this level," Zheng Siyuan sighed, "And you only spent three years."

"Sometimes I really want to meet your master. I want to know what kind of pastry chef it is that could make you achieve... such astonishing progress in three years." As he said this, Zheng Siyuan felt a bit melancholic, "I wonder if I can keep up with you in this lifetime."

Qin Huai felt there was some difficulty. He acknowledged Zheng Siyuan's talent, but he...

This wasn't a skill honed over a lifetime, it was one honed over four lifetimes.

Brother, I cheated; I really cheated. I'm not human, you know? Pure humans shouldn't compete with us spirits.

Now if you imagine yourself having a system, you still won't keep up with my pace; you need to imagine yourself not as human.

"How's the taste?" Qin Huai asked again.

"Delicious."

Qin Huai flashed a smile: "As long as it's tasty, it's fine. What time will you head to Babaozhai for work tomorrow morning? I'll come to your house early to make you two bowls of Chicken Soup Noodles to fill your stomach."

"Anyway, I don't have much to do tomorrow besides simmering soup, and I'll be doing that at your place."

"Oh, by the way, Dong Shi and Dong Li took half a day off tomorrow, they're coming over for dinner in the evening. Any snacks you want to eat, I'll make them together tomorrow, and make extra for you to freeze in the fridge."

"After Huihui's birthday, I won't have time anymore; I'll be accompanying Huihui for two days in Beiping, then heading back to Shan City. Who knows when I'll next be in Beiping."

Zheng Siyuan nodded to show he'd keep it in mind: "I'll think about it and text you later."
