Strongest Medical Saint

Chapter 40 The First Industry



Licking the lingering taste from his lips, Elder He couldn't stop swallowing his saliva, his face full of the desire for more.

Wang Anxiong and the others gazed at Shen Feng, wanting but not daring to speak.

Shen Feng slowly ate the barely palatable seafood congee in his bowl and said, "The rest of you can divvy it up!"

Upon hearing this,

Wang Anxiong and Xu Dong, among others, had their eyes light up fiercely. Holding their bowls, they pounced toward the pot, with Fatty Qian using his body size to squeeze in first.

Wang Anxiong roared unhappily, "Fatty Qian, let me go first. Haven't you been raving about the ZY Club's dishes? I'll have someone make it and send it to your antique shop every day."

Fatty Qian showed no intention of yielding, ladling the seafood congee into his bowl as he spoke, "Brother Wang, having tasted the master's seafood congee today, do you think I could still enjoy the food from your ZY Club? I can't wait any longer."

After Fatty Qian filled a large bowl for himself, he moved to the side and began devouring it eagerly.

Seeing Wang Anxiong and the others scrambling, Elder He was afraid that if he cared too much about face, he wouldn't even be able to eat the scraps. He bellowed, "Wang, don't you know to respect your elders? Let me fill a bowl first."

Xu Wenxing curled his lip and said, "Old man, weren't you just disdainful of the seafood congee my master cooked? Just wait patiently behind."

Since Xu Wenxing and the others had used large bowls, after they each took a turn, there was only a small amount left in the pot, and the other chefs could hardly contain themselves anymore.

Elder He picked up the pot protectively and said to the other chefs, "What are you looking at? The rest is all mine. Only a tongue like mine won't disgrace food of this caliber."

Looking at Wang Anxiong and the rest wolfing down their food, Elder He sighed in distress, "It's a crime against food! Exquisite delicacies like this should be savored slowly."

It was just as Elder He finished speaking,

Xu Wenxing and the others had already finished the seafood congee in their bowls, watching Elder He with ill intentions.

This made Elder He's face stiffen with concern, and he no longer had the luxury to taste slowly. He brought his mouth to the edge of the pot, frantically stuffing the seafood congee into his mouth.

In no time at all, he had finished the remaining congee in the pot and complained indignantly, "Is this how you treat an old man?"

Afterward, Elder He looked earnestly at Shen Feng, rubbing his hands differently, his face all smiles, obviously in a pleading manner.

Shen Feng said indifferently, "Now that you have finished eating, we can talk about serious matters."

Just as Elder He was about to shamelessly speak up, Wang Anxiong snapped back to his senses. Although he also longed to taste the flavor again, who was Shen Feng? The fact that they had gotten to eat it once was already like accumulation of virtue in a past life.

Wang Anxiong explained, "Elder He, you have misunderstood. The master is really great in the field of medicine, and I too am tasting the master's cooking for the first time."

Unsure of how to explain Shen Feng's identity, Wang Anxiong could only end up speaking of his brilliance in medicine.

Elder He was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and looked at Shen Feng to ask, "No matter what kind of master you are, the flavor of that pot of seafood congee is enough for me to call you master. May I know how you cooked it to get such a flavor?"

The Immortal Flavor Liquid can currently only be refined by Shen Feng, and even if someone else obtained the Immortal Flavor Liquid, they wouldn't be able to activate it.

He had no need to be secretive, as he had intended to discuss this matter with Wang Anxiong. He took out the bottle of Immortal Flavor Liquid that he had just shown, "The reason for this flavor is entirely due to this condiment. By adding just a drop, it brings out the purest taste of the food. Of course, this seasoning is very special; it must be activated by a Cultivation Technique to have any effect."

Wang Anxiong and the others were a bit confused, but they roughly understood what he meant.

Xu Dong asked, "Master, does this mean that a sort of Qigong Cultivation Technique is needed to activate this condiment and make it work within the ingredients?"

Shen Feng nodded, "You could say that."

Elder He couldn't help but speak up, "Master, could you give me a drop to try?"

Shen Feng casually placed the Immortal Flavor Liquid on the table, "You can try it now if you like."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After obtaining Shen Feng's permission, Elder He hurriedly made a simple dish of Kung Pao Chicken in the kitchen. Despite adding a drop of the Immortal Flavor Liquid, the dish's flavor didn't change at all.

Elder He said disappointingly, "There actually exists a condiment that needs something like Qigong to be activated to work? This old man has never heard of such a thing."

Shen Feng looked at Wang Anxiong, "Next I will try to make it work without the need for a Cultivation Technique, and I plan to mass produce it, but its effect will probably drop to one-tenth of what that flavor just now was like. This is going to be the first industry I develop in Wuzhou."

Even if the flavor is only a tenth of what it just was, it is still far superior to Elder He's dishes. If this condiment were ever to be introduced, it might sweep across the nation, maybe even the whole world.

Elder He was the first to get excited; he grabbed Shen Feng, "Master, you must let me join this project! I may not be very skilled, but I can help you promote this seasoning, guaranteeing to spread it across the country in the shortest time possible."

"This seasoning will change the culinary world globally! For me to have the fortune to be among the first to taste it, that is an honor!"

"Master, I apologize for my rudeness just now."

Elder He deeply bowed to Shen Feng, admiring him as the person he respected most in his life was one who could create delicious food. As the saying goes, "Let the one who has achieved be your teacher," he didn't mind Shen Feng's youth.

His cooking skills had already reached a peak, and it seemed impossible to make any further breakthroughs, the same as a few of his old friends in the culinary world.

Now that he had encountered this seasoning, he suddenly saw the light. As a chef, wasn't his goal to make people taste the ultimate in deliciousness?

This condiment was a new breakthrough in the world of culinary arts. Perhaps their cooking skills had reached their peak, and only an improvement in seasonings could make a difference. Although they had attempted this before, unfortunately, they never truly succeeded.

Excitement spread across Wang Anxiong's face; he said with enthusiasm, "Master, even a tenth of that flavor is enough, the potential of this seasoning is immeasurable."

Shen Feng casually said, "We'll talk about developing this venture after our trip to Nanming County."

Seeing that Shen Feng hadn't responded to him, Elder He couldn't help but plead, "Master, please let me join! In the past, my pursuit was to let everyone in the world enjoy delicious food, you..."

Shen Feng felt no dislike towards this obsessive old man; he said, "Once it can be produced in bulk, you'll be in charge of the product's promotion and marketing."

Elder He was eagerly thanking Shen Feng, his old face flushing red with excitement.
