Special Expert of Beauty CEO

The white-haired woman had a mysterious gaze, and Qin Tian couldn’t read any expressions from her. He just knew that this beautiful woman was unfathomable and definitely not simple.

”Oh, my ancestors were chefs, and I learned from my family.”

Qin Tian continued to use the lie he had told Feili Xue.

The white-haired woman didn’t seem suspicious and said, ”Then I’ll trouble you. Xiaoli, go help Mr. Qin Tian well.”

”Yes.”

Xiaoli was very respectful in front of the white-haired woman.

After that, the white-haired woman didn’t speak anymore, taking Feili Xue to the living room, while Qin Tian followed Xiaoli to the kitchen to start his busy work.

As dusk fell, Feili Xue’s courtyard gradually became lively, with three groups of guests arriving.

Qin Tian vaguely heard the voices from outside while in the kitchen, feeling a bit curious about what kind of people could come to see the white-haired woman.

By around eight o’clock in the evening, Qin Tian had almost finished cooking, preparing a total of nine dishes and a soup, including taro chicken, sweet and sour ribs, and roast duck.

When Qin Tian, with Xiaoli’s help, brought each dish to the dining table, many people, including the white-haired woman, were somewhat surprised by the unfamiliar dishes.

Only then did Qin Tian see that the guests visiting Feili Xue’s home tonight were actually only three people, all middle-aged men around forty, each looking extraordinarily majestic, typical noblemen.

These people were naturally well-versed in exotic delicacies, but at this moment, after seeing Qin Tian’s dishes, five out of the nine dishes and a soup, they couldn’t name, especially one bizarre-looking dish called young ginger frog.

In this Spiritual Domain, although there were farms, the locals, especially the nobility, never ate what they considered wild frogs, unless they were starving farmers or slaves; the rest wouldn’t even consider it.

Qin Tian managed to buy frogs because he remembered it was the season for frogs in the countryside, so he suddenly thought of making this dish, and with Xiaoli, went to the countryside to buy field frogs from farmers at a high price.

Therefore, when the dish was placed in front of these nobles, they were all dumbfounded.

One sharp-featured middle-aged man, looking like a military person, sitting very upright, held chopsticks and hesitated when looking at the young ginger frog, saying, ”As far as I know, field frogs are only eaten by farmers and slaves without food. Brother, you made this dish for us?”

This person’s name was Nie Cheng, the logistics and readiness General of the Forbidden Army in East Capital City, managing most equipment and elixir purchases for the Forbidden Army in East Capital City.

Sitting next to him, a robust middle-aged man exuding an imposing presence, named Xiao Zhan, was the Great Governor of the City Guard Army in East Capital City, in charge of the four city gates, and one of the few people in East Capital City whose power and status were second only to the City Lord.

He said, ”This frog, when our army had no food back when I was in the military, we used to roast it to eat. It had a bit of a bloody taste, the meat was tender, but the flavor...”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan shook his head.

”Well, since Miss Feili Xue invited such a great chef, I think he must have some extraordinary skills. Why don’t we stop speculating with chopsticks and just taste it?”

Sitting beside the white-haired woman was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, the largest herbal and elixir merchant in East Capital City, monopolizing more than half the elixir and herb business in the city, named Chen Sanming, a well-known wealthy businessman in East State.

Because Qin Tian helped with the cooking, Feili Xue promised to invite him to the meal, so he sat next to Feili Xue at this moment.

He observed the different temperaments between the eyebrows of these three people and roughly guessed their specific roles, though he couldn’t fathom their true identities, so he kept silent at the dining table.

”Master Bai, you are renowned for tasting all the foods in the Spiritual Domain, you should have tasted field frogs too, right? Would you like to try?” Chen Sanming, being the businessman, was the first to flatter Master Bai.

Master Bai, also Feili Xue’s mentor, indeed had tasted many delicacies across the world, picked up chopsticks and said, ”Field frogs I’ve definitely tried, but this preparation from Qin Tian... I really haven’t tasted it.”

Saying that, Master Bai picked up a frog leg with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Everyone abstained from moving their chopsticks, waiting for Master Bai’s evaluation after tasting it.

Qin Tian was a bit uneasy, thinking that if he left a bad impression on Master Bai, it would likely affect his future plans.

”Hiss...”

Master Bai emitted a ”hiss” from her mouth, and at this sound, everyone immediately frowned.

”I just said, the taste of field frogs can indeed never be good...”

Xiao Zhan began to speak, but before he could finish, Master Bai interrupted him: ”Hiss... Who said it’s not good? Well, it’s just a bit spicy... Haha, this is extraordinarily delicious, the spiciness masks the fishiness, but retains the tender taste of the field frog... Truly delicious! Spicy, but deliciously so!”

As Master Bai spoke, she picked up another piece, praising it as she looked at Qin Tian, saying, ”Qin Tian, it seems you really are as Miss Fei says, although the dishes are strange, the taste is quite good. I rarely praise anyone.”

Hearing this, Qin Tian finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking that taste, no matter where people are, seems to be the same! That’s good.

Immediately, Chen Sanming, Xiao Zhan, Nie Cheng, and Feili Xue all tasted the young ginger frog. Besides Chen Sanming, whose eyes teared up from the spiciness, the rest couldn’t stop praising its flavor.

”Hmm, Qin Tian, I just heard from Miss Feili Xue that you’re a student at East Han Academy? Haha, what year are you in? After graduation, are you interested in becoming the head chef at my Elixir Medicine Workshop in East Capital? Whatever conditions you have, just say. If you join us, the ordinary elixirs you need for cultivation, I’ll provide enough.”

After Qin Tian received unanimous praise from Master Bai, Xiao Zhan, and Nie Cheng, the shrewd Chen Sanming immediately thought of hiring Qin Tian.

”Heh, it’s rare to find a genius chef, Chen Manager, you acted quickly.” Master Bai said with a light smile.

Having tasted all the dishes Qin Tian made, Master Bai found his culinary skills astonishing, so upon hearing Chen Sanming offering terms to recruit Qin Tian, she was unwilling to be left behind: ”Qin Tian, going to the Medicine Workshop as an Immortality Cultivator might be too wasteful. How about joining my Alchemy Hall in the Imperial City?”

”Oh?!”

At Master Bai’s words, Xiao Zhan and others were stunned, their expressions changing instantly.
