In the eyes of the French.

Ye Chen's little restaurant is undoubtedly paradise, the most genuine place to relax!

Chapter 19 Tremella, Red Date, and Apple Soup

under night.

The restaurant's signboard was particularly eye-catching under the lights.

Inside, the place was packed with people, every seat filled with cheerful diners sitting around each table.

Head Chef Ye Chen.

I just finished making a delicate French foie gras.

He then began washing the kitchen knife with warm water without any hesitation.

The gentle flow of water caressed the blade, carrying away the traces left from cutting the foie gras.

After washing, dry it with a cloth.

The sharp kitchen knife then gleamed with a chilling light.

The blade, as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflected Ye Chen's handsome face. His sharply defined features, deep, bright eyes, and the confident smile with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth made him incredibly charming!

……

Unexpectedly.

At this seemingly ordinary moment.

Suddenly, a mysterious commotion arose in the restaurant.

Ye Chen stood there quietly, his body suddenly emitting soft white light.

Looking more closely at his deep, bright eyes, they had undergone a dramatic change.

All I can see is that...

Those black pupils began to spin rapidly.

And the speed was getting faster and faster, and the pupils were faintly glowing.

at first.

The light was extremely faint.

Like faint stars twinkling in the night sky, almost imperceptible.

However, as time went by, the light gradually became brighter until it was fully revealed, taking on a strange snowflake-like shape.

Seeing Ye Chen radiating white light and his pupils turning into snowflake shapes, Bao Gusi, who had just finished eating a whole roasted pig and was still somewhat unsatisfied, widened his eyes instantly.

……

After a brief moment of shock.

A strong feeling welled up inside Bogus.

He hurriedly took two steps at a time, walking towards Ye Chen with a hint of panic and tension in each step.

At last.

He walked to Ye Chen's side.

Subconsciously, she reached out and gently patted his shoulder, trying to wake Ye Chen from his mysterious state.

Unexpectedly, the moment his fingertips touched his shoulder, a bone-chilling coldness instantly emanated from his fingertips, like a sharp ice blade piercing straight to his marrow.

Startled by the sudden chill, Bao Gusi shuddered and reflexively withdrew his hand.

"Ok?"

Ye Chen suddenly woke up.

The snowflake shape in his eyes immediately disappeared.

At the same time, those bright eyes regained their usual tranquility and depth.

He paused for a moment, then looked at Baogus beside him, whose face was full of disbelief, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

Bogus stood there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with terror, and he probably knew what was going on!

……

In the real world.

Humans do not exhibit such strange light effects and eye changes.

This mysterious phenomenon easily evokes associations with supernatural forces, magic, or unknown mysteries, giving people a sense of mystery and elusiveness.

however.

The strange phenomenon that appeared on Ye Chen.

This suggests that he may possess some kind of special ability that is unknown to others.

After paying the bill, Bobby, who had just left the small restaurant, stared blankly at the tiny ice cubes that were beginning to form on his fingers, and suddenly a flood of thoughts overwhelmed him!

"Ability?"

"Is it a kind of supervisual ability?"

"Or is it a kind of super-tactile ability that allows you to unleash your body's potential by touching kitchen utensils?"

"what?"

"No, no."

Bogus murmured, then seemed to realize something: "That bone-chilling cold, and the snowflake-like light in his eyes, could it be... that the superpower he awakened is the ability to freely control ice?"

"That's not right either. In my memory, this kind of superpower doesn't exist in this world."

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Bougus exclaimed in astonishment, "His ability is to manipulate temperature."

"It's only because he has just awakened and doesn't know how to control it that the temperature dropped sharply, creating a bone-chilling cold!"

……

Recently.

In the food science journal *Delicious*

A research report published by the College of Food Science at the University of Arkansas in the United States showed that food temperature can not only change the texture of food, but also people's emotional response to soup and other foods.

For example, saltiness is most appreciated at 55°C, while the aroma of garlic reaches its full potential at 40°C.

From the perspective of common sense in life.

Different temperatures can make food taste more flavorful.

The same ingredients, when processed at different temperatures and served at different temperatures, will present different flavors.

In other words.

Taste is not just about experiencing sour, sweet, bitter, and salty flavors through different areas of the tongue.

The sense of smell also amplifies different flavors, stimulating the taste buds.

in contrast.

Control the temperature.

It can also help suppress the volatilization of unpleasant odors from food.

This is why some foods taste better when eaten cold, because humans can clearly perceive the effect of food temperature on taste.

"This is absolutely incredible!"

"If he could really control the temperature at will, then any ingredient in his hands would be turned from waste into treasure."

"Borges," he sighed deeply.

It should be noted that Ye Chen still possesses fantastical ingredients such as Gem Meat and Roasted Whole Pig.

Now that he has awakened this superpower, even Baogus himself cannot imagine how terrifying Ye Chen will be in the future!

……

Prepare the ingredients:

One startling apple at only level 1, along with red dates, goji berries, and white fungus.

Oh!

There's also rock sugar.

Soak the white fungus in warm water for half an hour beforehand.

Then remove the yellow stem part and tear it into small pieces by hand. The smaller the pieces you tear, the faster the glue will come out.

Next, peel and chop the startled apple into small pieces, then put some white fungus, red dates, and goji berries into the pot, and add enough water at once.

Simmer over low heat.
