nLin Fan knew that he was a gourmet but really didn’t want to say anything.

nLin Fan admitted that he was impressive but no matter what, he should try the scallion pancakes first.

nKang Wei Fan stood there, with the scallion pancake in his hand.

nHe sniffed it a few times.

n“This is the fragrance of scallions, and the scent of coriander, but how could it be? That coriander was obviously too dry, how could it still release this fragrance…”

nHe talked to himself. Despite not having taken a bite yet, he savored the fragrance and everything encompassed within it.

nKang Wei Fan looked puzzled, “This fragrance scores full marks. Is this even a fragrance that can come from just a mere scallion pancake?”

nHe studied its appearance. It looked magnificent. Layers and layers piled upon each other, and that golden outer layer was extremely crisp.

n“This is a masterpiece.”

nHe was at a loss for words to describe the scallion pancake in his hands.

nFraud Tian looked at Kang Wei Fan and thought that he was weird. Other people would instantly devour the scallion pancake upon receiving it, but this guy was just standing there, talking to himself.

nLin Fan leaned back in his chair as he looked outside at Kang Wei Fan.

nKang Wei Fan took a deep breath, then gradually put the scallion pancake into his mouth.

nThis appearance, this smell, they all score full marks, but how’s the taste? Perhaps it would just be average.

nAny food, without good ingredients, would not taste good. No matter how good the chef is, the rule cannot be broken.

nHe lowered his head and took a bite.

n*crack*

nA crisp and clear sound exploded from Kang Wei Fan’s mouth.

nFraud Tian’s jaw dropped as he stared unblinkingly at Kang Wei Fan’s facial expression.

nTo him, the face made by the customers when they ate the scallion pancakes was an art form.

nAt this moment, Kang Wei Fan’s pupils dilated. His eyes widened till they were like a bull’s.

nIn his mouth, a taste that he had never experienced before overwhelmed his taste buds.

nIt was as if time had stopped.

nEverything around him became silent.

nThe fragrance of the scallion, the strength of the dough and all the different flavors were like a bomb that exploded inside his mouth.

nKang Wei Fan looked up at the heavens.

nHe felt as if he was at the edge of a volcano. It’s scorching hot air spread throughout his body, and his heart was burning.

nThis was the flavor of the onions and chili.

nSuddenly, Kang Wei Fan trembled. He felt as if icy cold rainwater was falling upon his body, extinguishing the flames from before.

nThis was the fragrance of coriander, which brought with it a refreshing feeling.

nThe coolness and the heat clashed.

nThe contrast was extremely pleasurable to the taste buds. This was the pinnacle of gourmet food.

nFraud Tian stared blankly at him, “God d*mn, this guy’s expression is even more exaggerated than any of the other townsfolk.”

nKang Wei Fan didn’t say a word, but his expression said all. He was filled with excitement and a sense of freedom.

nHis head lowered.

nEat!

nEat, eat!

nHe wouldn’t leave even a single morsel of food.

nIf he could, he would gladly eat even the plastic bag which had been tainted with the scallion pancake’s flavor.

nKang Wei Fan closed his eyes. His tongue swirled around his mouth. The aftertaste lingered in his mouth.

nFraud Tian was stunned, “He’s crying…”

nEven though Kang Wei Fan’s eyes were shut, tears flowed from the corner of his eyes, which glistened under the sunlight.

nThis was the peak of the flavor, and it had an immense impact on him.

nHe was a gourmet and his biggest wish in life was to experience food that could move his heart.

nUnfortunately, he had never been able to experience it, but this time, his wish was fulfilled.

nLin Fan glanced over at him but didn’t really care. This much was expected. He took another sip of tea and continued to lean back in his chair.

n“This scallion pancake isn’t something that’s possible in the human world. I’ve tasted the original scallion pancakes from Taiwan, and it can’t even compare to this.”

n“This is really, really too delicious.”

nKang Wei Fan opened his eyes, as he said in astonishment.

nAt that moment, he understood why the townsfolk were giving that ridiculous expression.

nNo, it wasn’t ridiculous at all. That kind of expression was to be expected.

nFraud Tian scratched his head, “Sir, that would be $50. Can you pay now?”

nKang Wei Fan reached for his money immediately, “This deliciousness can’t be fully paid for in cash, but it must have a price.”

n“To experience such delicious food, I would be willing to pay any price.”

nFraud Tian’s eyes gleamed with delight when he saw the $100 bill in front of him. This was a rich guy!

nLin Fan then leisurely spoke, “The price is already stated. Just pay what is stated.”

nFraud Tian had no choice but to give him $50 change.

nKang Wei Fan took the change, then immediately went in front of Lin Fan, “Boss, please give me one more serving. Any price is fine.”

nLin Fan raised his head and declined instantly, “Rules are rules. If you want, you can come and queue again tomorrow.”

nKang Wei Fan was refused just like that. He wasn’t satisfied. For a food this tasty, one serving was far from enough.

nHowever, judging by the boss’ attitude, he wasn’t going to break the rule.

nHe was a gourmet. Every place around the globe had its own rules. He understood that rules were rules and they wouldn’t be changed just for one person.

nHowever, after tasting this delicious scallion pancake, he realized that all the best foods around the world, when compared to this scallion pancake…were simply a pile of sh*t.

nThat’s right, “sh*t” was the only way to describe it.

n“Boss, how exactly did you make these scallion pancakes? This flavor is enough to move a person’s heart, but those ingredients were clearly average ingredients, maybe even low-grade ingredients.”

nKang Wei Fan was confused. Everything he had known about food had been thrown out the window.

nLin Fan was starting to find him annoying.

nIt was just a scallion pancake, why must he ask so many questions.

nHow did he make them?

nWith his hands, obviously. What else could it be? With his a*s?

nHowever, just to make this guy leave…

nLin Fan laughed and then pointed to his chest. He said coolly, “With my heart.”

nKang Wei Fan was stunned, “Heart?”

nWith a serious face, Lin Fan nodded, “A masterful painting is painted when the artist pours his heart into it. It’s the same with this scallion pancake. The ingredients are common, but when I pour my heart into it, the taste that is produced is anything but common.

nIt was the first time Kang Wei Fan had heard such an explanation.

nThen suddenly, it hit him.

n“I understand now!”

nLin Fan was relieved, “If you must, come and queue again tomorrow. Fraud, send our customer off.”

nKang Wei Fan still wanted to chat with Lin Fan, but Fraud Tian stepped forward immediately.

n“Sir, here’s your change.”

nKang Wei Fan took one more glance at Lin Fan and etched this memory into his heart.

nHe made a decision, that such delicious food shouldn’t only be known by himself.

nAfter he left…

nFraud Tian asked, “This is really made with your heart?”

nLin Fan rolled his eyes, “Heart my a*s, that was just bull**.”

nFraud Tian: “…”

nWhy was this scallion pancake so delicious?

nThat question can only be answered by the encyclopedia.

nEven Lin Fan was confused at times.

nThe ingredients were clearly inferior, but the food it made was amazing. How mysterious.
