“Hello, I’ll take three please.”

Qin Lang gestured to the waiter and picked out three servings from the kitchen cabinet car, each neatly adorned with Premium Platinum Sturgeon Caviar.

He handed two of them to the two little ones eagerly salivating at the sight.

The last one, he kept for himself.

The two little ones, their mouths watering, devoured the food in one gulp. As they chewed and tasted the food, they looked blissful and contented. However, Qin Lang, unlike his companions, took his time, carefully observing the small ingredient in his hand.

The base was a soft cake baked to perfection and cut into a cylindrical shape. The cake was covered with various toppings meticulously cut into curved thin strands. At the very centre, in all its glory, were tiny, distinct grains of the caviar, arranged like stars around the moon.

Under the bright lights, the caviar glistened with a radiant black sheen, its exceptional quality evident to the eye.

After examining it for a while, Qin Lang began tasting it leisurely.

The bursting flavor of the caviar, woven together with the taste of the various toppings and the subtly sweet soft cake, showcased a complex yet dazzling taste that made him nod approvingly.

However, the very next moment, an event nearby made him furrow his brow and turn his head.

“Premium Platinum Sturgeon Caviar!”

Si Wenwen delicately picked up a piece of exquisitely designed food and began to examine it.

The food had a base made of toasted crisp bread, decorated with several toppings. The caviar on top glistened under the light like black pearls, casting a bewitching glow.

Upon closer examination, Si Wenwen kept her gaze at each full and round piece of caviar, almost imagining the delicious taste as she bites into it.

She swallowed her saliva and, without any further hesitation, took a big bite from half of it; one hand held the bread’s crust, and the other supported it from underneath.

As she chewed, the caviar’s distinctive and rich taste was evident even amongst the other ingredients muddled in her mouth.

An intoxicated look came over Si Wenwen’s face. It was her first time tasting something so delicious.

However, the very next moment, an unfriendly snicker passed over from the side.

With a sneer, Si Wenwen followed the sound and found a boy not far from her who was making fun of her.

He met her gaze with a mocking look, displaying no intention to shy away when he caught her attention. Instead, he patted his friend’s shoulder and said,

“Look, she doesn’t even know how to appreciate caviar. Is she eating melon seeds?”

Si Wenwen couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows

She grew up in Hongfan City, where there were no seas or rivers, meaning seafood was scarce.

She had hardly ever come across caviar. Wasn’t it supposed to be eaten this way?

Si Wenwen glanced at the rest of the food in her hand, wanting to keep tasting it, but the guy’s sneer left her feeling unsure.

“Hahaha!” The boy who made fun of Si Wenwen had a triumphant look on his face, almost as if he had won some kind of victory.

His comments drew the attention of many other Spirit Chefs to Si Wenwen’s situation.

“As a Spirit Chef, knowing how to appreciate different kinds of food is a necessary skill,” one female Spirit Chef said while savouring a few caviar pearls, in a didactic tone. “Caviar is supposed to be savoured, not chewed.”

“You don’t even know basic dining etiquette; you’re like a cow chewing a peony.”

“I…” Si Wenwen’s face changed slightly.

She wanted to explain that she was not a Spirit Chef yet, but felt that doing so would only invite more ridicule.

However, the next moment, she heard a familiar voice from the other side.

“She hasn’t born a Food Spirit yet. She’s not a Spirit Chef.”

Si Wenwen shuddered, inexplicably looking at Zhou Ran, who had just spoken, her face full of disbelief.

Why?

Why would Zhou Ran, whom she considered a good friend, expose her shortcomings at this moment?

Zhou Ran averted her gaze, avoiding meeting Si Wenwen’s eyes.

“Zhou Ran, isn’t she the one you brought here?” Said one Spirit Chef next to her, lowering his voice.

“We just happened to be on the same route. We don’t know each other well,” Zhou Ran replied almost instantly, continuing to chat nonchalantly with her companion and no longer looking at Si Wenwen.

Si Wenwen’s eyes quickly dulled.

“Pff,” the Spirit Chef who had initially mocked her laughed, “I was wondering what’s going on. So, you’re not even a Spirit Chef. How did you have the nerve to join this event?”

The other Spirit Chefs joined in.

“Exactly, ordinary people can’t just participate in a Spirit Chef exchange.”

“You haven’t even born a Food Spirit; you don’t qualify to exchange with us.”

Facing the mocking voices, Si Wenwen felt embarrassed and regretful. She didn’t know why she, who had tried to keep a low profile, had become the center of attention, and couldn’t find any words to refute the comments.

Indeed, she didn’t know how to appreciate caviar, and she was not a Spirit Chef either…

“Mr. Qiu Yidong.” The woman who had been elegantly tasting the caviar swallowed her last bite and turned to Qiu Yidong. “What do you think about this situation?”

All eyes, including Si Wenwen’s, were now on Qiu Yidong.

Si Wenwen thought that the Spirit Chef who hosted this exchange and provided such expensive food for everyone to taste without any charges must be a generous person.

If he expressed some kindness at this moment, her embarrassment would undoubtedly be greatly alleviated.

But before she could ponder further, Qiu Yidong revealed a smile.

“This culinary exchange is an event for Spirit Chefs to exchange cooking techniques and insights.”

Although he didn’t clearly express his intention, the emphasis on the words “Spirit Chef” was evident.

“You heard him, didn’t you? An exchange of cooking techniques and insights among Spirit Chefs.” The boy who had initially ridiculed her rolled his eyes and quickly summoned his Food Spirit. “Are you a Spirit Chef?”

The others didn’t say anything, but their eyes on Si Wenwen were still intimidating.

Si Wenwen’s face turned pale. In her confusion, she turned again to look at Zhou Ran.

But Zhou Ran paid no attention to her and had already moved away with her companion.

She awkwardly squeezed out a smile and stood still, not knowing what to do.

At that moment, a hand appeared before her eyes.

Qin Lang, noticing Si Wenwen’s uncomfortable situation, had moved to her side. He took another piece of exquisite food adorned with caviar from her plate.

Then, to the surprise of both others and Si Wenwen herself, he calmly took a bite.
