Sincere Heart in Jianghu

After walking for a distance with Ling'er, Yang Ming's mood gradually lightened as well.

"Big brother Yang, let's get on the carriage. The two disciples must be laughing at me!" Ling'er's voice was filled with joy.

There were no other houses along the way, only fields and hills. Looking at the scenery outside, Ling'er became quiet.

He walked like this for a few days before gradually feeling the scent of humans.

Finally, a large city gate tower appeared in front of them. It seemed like this must be a bustling place.

Ling'er felt a little depressed for the past few days, but when she saw the city gate tower, her face lit up, "Big brother Yang, can we stay here for a day to see if there is anything interesting!"

Yang Ming laughed, and after entering the city, the disciples went to arrange everything, the two of them slowly got off the carriage and looked at the bustling scene.

Yang Ming smiled and nodded. After this disciple returned, he brought Ling'er to the tavern and after everything was settled, they all went to eat something.

For the past few days, he had been casually eating some food to quell his hunger. He had not eaten any delicious food, so when he saw the fragrant and steaming hot dishes coming up, he was somewhat impatient.

The people here all seemed to be in high spirits, and their speech and actions were quite efficient.

"Waiter, is there anything delicious here?" Yang Ming asked.

The waiter smiled, "What do you want to eat? As long as you can say it, how can I cook it?"

The waiter blushed, "Okay, if you can do it, you can double the amount for everyone here, how about that?"

"Hehe, looks like we've all wasted our time today. Let's get some extra food first, otherwise, if this shop owner goes back on his word, it'll be too late!" The one who spoke looked to be in his forties had a pleasant expression.

That person smiled and said, "I only want one dish. It has green on top, red on the bottom, and yellow on the center. It tastes both crispy and soft. Some are hard, some are sweet, some are spicy, and some are bitter. That's it."

Someone beside him laughed, "Honored Officer Chen, you are in high spirits today. Everyone knows that you have eaten all the food in the world. I wonder what you are talking about today?"

"If we can make it out of this store, I will double the amount of money for everyone's meals. Everyone can eat without worries, but we have agreed that we must make it within four hours and not make everyone wait too long!"

That waiter blushed and felt that he had caused a disaster today. Although he was very confident in the chef, the situation today was not that easy to deal with. He hurried in to discuss it with someone.

After a while, a man with the appearance of a boss walked out, "Just now, my waiter spoke a bit impolitely, making everyone laugh. After a while, a man with the appearance of a boss walked out," Just now, my waiter spoke a bit impolitely, making everyone laugh.

Everyone laughed, and the boss added, "You're the only one who counts when you bet. You can't come in now, otherwise, if you call all the beggars out on the street, I would go bankrupt!"

The people around him burst out into laughter, and Great Honored Warrior Chen cupped his hands and smiled at the boss.

Yang Ming and Ling'er looked at each other. The people here looked to be extremely kind as well, because this Official Chen and the owner of the shop seemed to be rich.

"This official Chen is the wealthiest man in the area, he has a plethora of good lands, dozens of large and small silks, and even pawnshops. If he has the interest to come here today, he must have a good show!"

Yang Ming and Ling'er also felt that nothing was happening, so they decided to wait for four hours to see if the restaurant could cook the dishes that Great Elder Chen had told them about.

Soon, four hours had passed. The waiter came out with a dish. His expression was somewhat wooden. After placing the dish in front of Honorable Chen, he stood aside.

Chief Officer Chen took the dish apart and saw that it was covered with a layer of vegetables. He gently placed it in his mouth. With a crisp tone, he shouted, "This is green, soft!"

He pushed the vegetable aside. In the middle was a layer of golden brown potato filament. He took a bite and said, "This is yellow, crispy!"

He tapped a layer of red meat on the table and gently placed it in his mouth, "This red meat tastes a little sweet, it's Red Braised Meat!" After saying that, he took a sip.

"There is no problem with the color, but there is softness without hardness, there is sweetness without spiciness, and there is no pain!"

With that, he looked at the waiter, who shook his head, "The master will come out soon, he will explain to you!"

Official Chen then invited someone to invite the chef out. The chef was a bit tall, and a bit chubby. He went over and bowed to Official Chen.

"You said that this dish is not hard, now you can take another bite of the meat at the bottom!"

Chen placed the chopsticks in the middle of the plate and picked a piece of meat into his mouth. His face revealed a strange expression.

"I've fried the meat in the middle and used the best quality meat, so it's a bit hard to eat, but it's quite chewy. Master, how does it feel?"

From his expression, it could be seen that the taste was really good. Chief Chen also had a satisfied smile on his face.

"You said it's sweet and spicy, take a sip of water and try it out!"

Minister Chen took a sip of water and could not help but nod his head as he felt the spiciness in his mouth.

"There's still some bitterness. Use the vegetables to wrap the potato shreds!"

Sure enough, there was a distinct bitter taste. However, that bitter taste was especially refreshing. It did not make people feel disgusted at all.
