"Regretting it!"

At the moment he reached out with his chopsticks, Ling Yan kind of regretted it!

Because he didn't smell even the slightest hint of aroma...

"Why is there no smell at all? Could it be that these cucumbers aren't fresh?"

Muttering to himself, Ling Yan wanted to put down his chopsticks, but eventually gave up because he knew if he did, Zhang Tongren would be very disappointed.

"At worst, it'll just be a stomachache! It won't kill me!"

Whispering to himself, Ling Yan quickly picked up a piece of what looked like the most ordinary cucumber.

A second later, Ling Yan opened his mouth and put it in.

...

"Chew it a bit!"

Seeing him eat, Zhang Tongren softly spoke.

"I will!"

Saying so, Ling Yan gently chewed...

"It's quite chewy!"

Slightly surprised, he bit down a bit harder, and immediately the cucumber burst.

As it was bitten, the refreshing cucumber flavor instantly filled his mouth.

This made Ling Yan's eyes widen instantly...

"Whoa, is this... is this cucumber?"

Ling Yan was truly dumbfounded!

Because he had never eaten such chewy cucumber before!

Everyone was staring at him, so they all noticed when his expression changed.

"What's going on?"

No one knew what was happening, so they were all whispering to themselves.

At this point, a few who usually had a good relationship with him softly spoke up, "What's wrong with you?"

"Yeah, is it good or not? Give us a word!"

"Indeed!"

After saying this, there was still no response.

Helplessly, they turned to Zhang Tongren and said, "Chef Zhang, bring us a few pairs of chopsticks, we want to try it too!"

"Alright!"

Zhang Tongren readily agreed...

Afterward, Zhang Tongren grabbed some chopsticks to distribute, but soon looked at his hand in amazement.

The chopsticks were gone!

That's right!

The chopsticks he just held were snatched away...

"What the hell is going on?"

Thinking this in bewilderment, Zhang Tongren heard Ling Yan decisively say, "Nobody is allowed to taste, this is all mine!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tongren smiled wryly...

Just about to say something, he heard Ling Yan continue, "Chef Zhang, I used to be a frog in a well, now let's discuss the price? How much for this bowl? Is one hundred yuan enough?"

"Whoa!"

Hearing him directly make an offer, everyone knew the cucumber must taste exceptionally good...

After making this judgment, they quickly opened their mouths!

"We can't be like this! What's good should be shared!"

"Exactly! We should share!"

"Right!"

Understanding their meaning, Ling Yan waved his hand and quickly said, "Everything can be shared, but not this, don't try it, this is all mine!"

"This..."

Seeing him act like a child, no one knew what to say!

...

Zhang Tongren glanced at him and said, "This is for tasting, so it's not for sale!"

"Well...price isn't an issue, if one hundred yuan isn't enough, how about five thousand? Or eight thousand!"

Seeing him continue to raise the bid, Zhang Tongren quickly waved his hand, "Won't sell at any price! Also, let me say, from now on all our hotel's ingredients will be like this, so you don't have to rush!"

"Really? All like this?"

Asking that, Ling Yan's eyes lit up!

"Yes! All like this!"

"I got it! Got it!"

Excitedly exclaiming, Ling Yan took a deep breath!

Seeing everyone staring at him, he hesitated for a moment, then finally put down the stainless steel bowl...

As he put it down, over a dozen people quickly crowded around...

These people all wanted to have a good taste and see how good it was...

Seeing this, Ling Yan felt a bit distressed, thought for a moment, and quickly dashed forward again.

Soon, everyone started tasting...

Zhang Tongren saw this and laughed!

He knew this marketing was simply extremely successful.

Feeling somewhat happy, he took a deep breath and looked at Hu Xiaobei, who nodded at him in acknowledgment, heightening his excitement.

He believed receiving praise from Hu Xiaobei was far more important than anything else...

...

As he was filled with joy, those reaching out with their chopsticks picked up cucumbers.

After tasting a bit, their eyes widened in excitement.

"Whoa! This taste is just amazing!"

"Yeah! After eating, I feel like I'm in a deep forest!"

"Indeed, it feels like my whole body has been cleansed!"

As they exclaimed like this, they wanted to ask for others' opinions, only to find others were frantically picking up cucumbers.

"Dang it! Leave some for me!"

Frantically muttering in their hearts, they quickly reached out their chopsticks, realizing then that eating silently makes sense.

...

"Hey, don't grab! This piece is mine!"

"This piece is mine!"

"Dang it, you snagged my chopsticks."

As the cucumbers in the stainless steel bowl got fewer and fewer, everyone started whispering anxiously.

The ones at the back heard the excited exclamations, squinted their eyes.

"Could... could it really be this tasty?"

Muttering softly, they also wanted to go forward for a taste, but found it completely impossible!

Really!

The front was crowded, making it extremely hard to get close.

"These people really don't give an inch!"

"Exactly!"

Everyone was sighing like this, looking ahead helplessly, quickly witnessing a surprising scene.

"Whoa, there's just this bit of broth left, don't fight over it!"

"Let me drink first!"

"Don't use your mouth, I go first!"

"Whoa!"

Seeing them behave like street brawlers going crazy, everyone couldn't help but rub their foreheads...

They felt today they really witnessed a spectacle.

Some even felt a bit annoyed they hadn't captured this moment on camera earlier!

They knew if they had captured this, it would drive many people crazy.

Upstairs, watching the chaos below, Guo Meiyu's lips curled into a subtle smile!

"That little bastard really has skills, just casually doing something, and made it popular again!"

"Yes, that little rascal really has that talent!"

Upon hearing such praise, Guo Meiyu turned and saw Han Xueyao, wearing black peep-toe high heels, lazily approaching her.

As she stopped, Guo Meiyu smelled the gentle elegance of her fragrance...

"Really nice smell, no wonder that little rascal is so enchanted!"

Whispering softly to herself in her heart, Guo Meiyu smiled and said, "Sis, do you remember? That little rascal's childhood stories!"

"You mean what he did in the village catching fish and birds all day?"

"Yes! Back then, he was really mischievous, I never thought he'd become such a calm person now!"

"I also feel his change is significant."

Listening to Guo Meiyu's description, Han Xueyao squinted her eyes slightly.

She also felt Hu Xiaobei had changed a lot compared to before.

She didn't know why Hu Xiaobei changed, but this feeling seemed very nice...

...

Downstairs, those before Zhang Tongren were eagerly inquiring.

"Chef Zhang, is there any more cucumbers with such taste?"

"Yeah, we want more!"

"Right! Right! Right!"

Everyone spoke excitedly...

Many of them had tasted already, but hadn't filled up completely.

Precisely because of this, they now desperately wanted to know if there was more, because their cravings were truly stirred.

With everyone staring intently, Zhang Tongren gently raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please calm down first, otherwise you won't hear what I say!"

Hearing this reasonable remark, they exchanged glances and instantly quieted down completely...
