Chapter 688: Six hundred and eighty-three, the taste is unparalleled, a sense of shame arises.

Gu Chen nodded slightly; she had intended to do just that. Since they were there, they might as well head straight to her Qiwei Vegetarian restaurant to have a taste.

As they were saying this, the two of them directly left the Wei Family.

As they stepped outside and approached Gu Chen’s car, her face showed great surprise.

"Brother Gu, your car is really nice. I’ve heard from my brother that this car is quite expensive," Xiao Ping said, clearly recognizing the value of Gu Chen’s car and thus commented on it.

"It’s just so-so, nothing more than a tool for getting around," Gu Chen replied casually.

Gu Chen had grown almost numb to such flattery and thus didn’t pay it much attention.

"Before I came, I asked the old master, and he said that your restaurant really does a good job; it seems quite famous locally."

"And when the old master dined at our place, he was always mentioning it," Xiao Ping continued.

"He kept saying that your culinary skills are extremely high, better than any chef’s cooking he has ever tasted, even surpassing those of state banquets."

He Jingmei gave the impression that she had done her homework before this visit, laughing as she spoke to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, hearing this, was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She hadn’t expected the old master to spread the word wherever he went.

It was quite the endorsement for her, and she believed there was probably no other way to keep the old master talking for such a long time.

"Well, it’s actually alright. Perhaps it just happens to suit the old master’s taste. Whether it’s good or not, I’m afraid only your taste test will tell," Gu Chen said modestly.

Despite what Gu Chen had said, one could still clearly see the anticipation on Xiao Ping’s face for what Gu Chen would prepare.

With that, Gu Chen drove to the old shop.

When they arrived at the restaurant, it was nearly closing time and there weren’t many people left.

However, because Gu Chen had arrived, special treatment was in order, and so the restaurant remained open.

After taking her seat, He Jingmei looked around at the environment, her face not showing any particular excitement.

Seeing how small Gu Chen’s restaurant was, she did not hold out much hope.

She had dined at various restaurants before, primarily large hotels, and wouldn’t ordinarily consider a small establishment like Gu Chen’s, which reminded her more of a workshop.

Nevertheless, since it was Gu Chen’s business, she showed an outward appearance of happiness and seemed to be even looking forward to the meal.

"Please bring out one of every dish in the restaurant," Gu Chen instructed the waiter.

After all, He Jingmei’s visit was significant; it was not every day she came by, and who knew if she would come again, so Gu Chen wanted her to try every dish the restaurant offered.

The waiter nodded at the request and began to prepare as Gu Chen had ordered.

Having gone to considerable lengths to bring the old master here, Gu Chen certainly did not want to be known for substandard hospitality.

It wasn’t long before all the dishes Gu Chen had ordered were carried to the table.

As she surveyed the table full of dishes, He Jingmei suddenly seemed a bit more interested.

At the very least, the presentation of the dishes appeared to be quite good.

"Try it first, and then we can talk about whether it’s good or not. If it’s not good, we can always go somewhere else later," Gu Chen said to He Jingmei.

After hearing this, He Jingmei quickly shook her head.

"It’s okay, I’m really not picky at all, as long as I can eat it. Moreover, this is your restaurant, so even if it’s difficult, I will eat it all. Please don’t worry, Brother Gu!"

At this moment, she even joked playfully with Gu Chen, who just smiled upon hearing her.

It was then that she slowly picked up a soup spoon and gently scooped up a spoonful of soup.

She smelled the soup, which had a very fragrant aroma, giving off an especially refreshing feeling.

Afterward, she curiously brought the soup to her mouth. She hadn’t paid much mind to it since the soup was just a simple seaweed egg drop soup,

a common dish consumed by everyday folks, so how much better could it taste?

She didn’t hold out much hope.

Until the moment she actually tasted it, she suddenly stood there dumbfounded.

She felt a bit dazed as she savored the taste in her mouth, even questioning whether she was deluded.

She hurriedly took another taste. As her taste buds sent their feedback, she became completely stunned. She had eaten in this restaurant so many times, trying dishes from various chefs and culinary experts, but she had never experienced anything as delicious as she did today. She didn’t even know what words to use to describe this delightful bowl. It seemed to her this flavor could only be found in books, left to imagination, but not something that could be tasted with the mouth.

At that moment, she was a bit bewildered and looked up at Gu Chen.

"What’s the matter? Is the taste not quite right?" Gu Chen directly asked her at this point.

"No, no, it’s not that it’s bad, it’s just... How did you make this so delicious?" She still looked at Gu Chen, puzzled.

She really wanted to ask Gu Chen how on earth he made these dishes.

Hearing her words, Gu Chen knew. It looked like the taste must be alright; her comment was, for him, a pass.

"It’s all home cooking, nothing special. As long as you find it delicious, that’s all that matters," he said humbly to her.

After that, He Jingmei started to try some other dishes. She had completely abandoned her initial thoughts.

All that filled her heart now was amazement, confusion, and bewilderment.

Especially when she thought back to what she had told Gu Chen earlier, she felt extremely embarrassed.

Back then, she had confidently told Gu Chen that the restaurant she had chosen was unparalleled in flavor. But now it seemed like boasting about her sword skills in front of Guan Yu.

The flavors from Gu Chen’s restaurant, compared to that big hotel, were like a dimensional strike.

She took a bite of some stir-fried dishes Gu Chen had made, and after trying them, she was again flabbergasted. She couldn’t understand how they could taste so good.

"May I see the chef of your restaurant?" He Jingmei directly asked Gu Chen.

"Sure, but the chef of my restaurant is a girl."

After Gu Chen said that, she was stunned again. A female chef was indeed rare in society, even men were reluctant to do such tough and tiring work.

Then Gu Chen called out Xiao Ping.

When she saw how young Xiao Ping was, she was astounded.
