Chapter 219 - 219. Reversal
In Miredi City, there is a famous attraction called the Labyrinth Flower Sea.
It is planted with hundreds of rare flowers, just like a sea of flowers.
What is even more delightful is that these flowers have a peculiar layout, much like a well-arranged maze.
The flowers that bloom in different seasons guide different paths, and all these paths eventually lead to one place.
That is a small house hidden in the deepest part of the Labyrinth Flower Sea, and also the destination of this trip for Zhou Qing and Qin Lang – Miss Tang Mi’s residence.
“This is… the Labyrinth Flower Sea?” Standing in the outer area, Qin Lang widened his eyes and looked at the endless flowers in surprise.
“When I first came here thirty years ago, I had the same expression.” Zhou Qing laughed lightly, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face, and an image of a dancing figure amidst the flowers emerged in his mind.
Young Tang Mi…
“Let’s go, let’s go in.”
“Okay!” Watching Zhou Qing gracefully step into the sea of flowers, Qin Lang quickly followed.
The sweet fragrance of countless flowers intertwined together, lingering on every visitor entering the flower sea.
If the scale of the flowers in the Daisy Garden is already astonishing, then this Labyrinth Flower Sea is indeed a spectacular sight for Qin Lang.
Zhou Qing was obviously not visiting this place for the first time, and he led Qin Lang along a small path through the flowers, bypassing the tourists posing for pictures, they quickly arrived at a small house hidden in the middle of the flower sea, which was blocked entirely by the flower sea from afar.
The house was not big but very exquisite.
“Let’s go.” Zhou Qing stood at a distance and looked at the house, then walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
“Ding dong ”
Listening to the sound of the doorbell, Qin Lang who was closely following couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Because he knew in advance that Miss Tang Mi’s assessment direction was similar to Miss Song Hui’s, which is also in the direction of desserts, he did a lot of preparations the night before. He reviewed the high-difficulty Chinese pastries that he is good at. Dan Bao and Spicy were very happy to eat.
Now, it’s time to test the adequacy of his preparation.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside.
A white-haired old lady with an extremely elegant demeanor opened the door and looked at them. Her gaze fixed on Zhou Qing, and a warm smile appeared on her face, “So the old fellow came over?”
“I came to attend the Leaping Fish Banquet, and came to see you by the way.” Zhou Qing spoke with a smile.
“Just by the way, huh? Then you do not have to come.” An additional hint of girl-like mischief appeared in the old lady’s eyes, and she pretended to be angry and began to close the door.
“It’s been years, and you’re still the same.” Zhou Qing laughed, seemingly understanding that the old lady wasn’t actually angry, and held the doorknob, “Won’t you invite me in to have a sit and taste your flower tea?”
“Shameless.” The old lady let go of the doorknob, “Come in.”
“Great!” Zhou Qing motioned to Qin Lang to go in together, and took the opportunity to introduce him to the old lady, “This is Qin Lang, the champion of the cooking competition in Dongxia City this year.”
“Nice to meet you, Miss Tang Mi.” Qin Lang bowed slightly.
“Hello, handsome young man.” Facing the junior, Tang Mi’s smile became warmer, “Come in and let’s talk.”
The three quickly went inside, and Tang Mi started to busy herself with making tea to serve her guests.
Soon, the sweet scent of flower tea drifted through the house.
Qin Lang sniffed the aroma and couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
The scent of this flower tea is quite similar to the flower tea made by Miss Song Hui.
Thinking of the fact that Miss Song Hui once said that Miss Tang Mi was her half-teacher, he nodded thoughtfully.
They didn’t know about other aspects, but it was definitely inherited from the same line in terms of flower tea.
Remembering Song Hui, Qin Lang took out a letter from his backpack and handed it to Tang Mi who just placed the teapot on the table, “Miss Tang Mi, this is a letter from Miss Song Hui for you. She asked me to deliver it.”
“A letter from Ah Hui! I should read it carefully.”
After pouring tea for Qin Lang and herself, Tang Mi laughed, fetched her reading glasses, sat at the other end and started to read the letter.
Zhou Qing and Qin Lang tasted their tea, without making a sound to disturb her, waiting quietly.
Soon, the letter was read completely, and Tang Mi’s smile grew even brighter. It seemed that the content of the letter made her mood even better.
She took off her reading glasses, gave Zhou Qing a glance, then turned her gaze to Qin Lang, “Let me guess, young man, did you come to me with this old guy Zhou Qing for the Second-Level Food Recommender Assessment?”
“Yes.” Qin Lang took out his Spirit Chef Badge and the Distant Light Badge, and handed them to Tang Mi.
The threshold for Miss Tang Mi’s test is also one Second-Level Food Recommender Badge.
“Then I have to take a good look.” Miss Tang Mi smiled and took the Spirit Chef Badge, then turned and walked towards the bedroom, “You both can sit for a while.”
“Mr. Zhou Qing, did I interrupt your reunion with an old friend?” After Miss Tang Mi temporarily left the living room, Qin Lang scratched his head awkwardly.
He had initially planned to wait until their reunion was over, and then bring up the assessment.
He didn’t expect Miss Tang Mi to bring it up uninvited.
“It is the duty of a Food Recommender to assess the culinary skills of Spirit Chefs, naturally you need to prioritize your responsibilities.” Zhou Qing took a sip of tea calmly, “You don’t have to worry about these, just prepare your best for the assessment.”
“Okay!” Upon hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Qin Lang quickly concentrated on the assessment.
He started to wonder about what kind of dessert question Miss Tang Mi would bring out for the assessment…
A moment later, Ms. Tang Mi returned with a beaming smile and gave the Spirit Chef Badge back to Qin Lang, “You’re really an outstanding young man, actually able to pass Mr. Zong Nian’s test.”
It wasn’t surprising for Qin Lang to see she found out this information through the badge’s back-end data, he humbly responded, “It was sheer luck. Mr. Zong Nian’s test was quite difficult.”
“Is that so?” The smile on Tang Mi’s face deepened as she suddenly opened her mouth, “Would you be interested in assuming a more challenging test?”
Qin Lang:”???”
Looking at the still affable Miss Tang Mi before him, he was stunned for a moment.
How was he supposed to respond to that?
Say he’s not interested?
If he didn’t even have the courage to take the test, there was no way he could pass it.
But if he said he was interested…
It seemed like Miss Tang Mi genuinely planned to crank up the difficulty for him!
Qin Lang took a look at Zhou Qing who was sitting next to him and had a somewhat strange expression, and he gritted his teeth, “I am interested.”
“Very good, young people should be energetic.” Miss Tang Mi nodded with a smile, “In that case, your assessment question is…”
Her voice trailed off momentarily, and she turned to look at Zhou Qing who was leisurely sipping his tea to a side, “Make a dish related to flowers with fish ingredients.”
“Puff •’
Zhou Qing spewed out the tea in his mouth.
He coughed violently a few times, then raised his head in astonishment to look at Tang Mi, clearly not expecting Qin Lang’s test to be related to him.
It’s normal for Tang Mi’s test to be related to flowers, but it’s completely unrelated to fish dishes.
What’s more important, what about the desserts?!
