Lin Fan knew that he was a gourmet but really didn’t want to say anything.

Lin Fan admitted that he was impressive but no matter what, he should try the scallion pancakes first.

Kang Wei Fan stood there, with the scallion pancake in his hand.

He sniffed it a few times.

“This is the fragrance of scallions, and the scent of coriander, but how could it be? That coriander was obviously too dry, how could it still release this fragrance…”

He talked to himself. Despite not having taken a bite yet, he savored the fragrance and everything encompassed within it.

Kang Wei Fan looked puzzled, “This fragrance scores full marks. Is this even a fragrance that can come from just a mere scallion pancake?”

He studied its appearance. It looked magnificent. Layers and layers piled upon each other, and that golden outer layer was extremely crisp.

“This is a masterpiece.”

He was at a loss for words to describe the scallion pancake in his hands.

Fraud Tian looked at Kang Wei Fan and thought that he was weird. Other people would instantly devour the scallion pancake upon receiving it, but this guy was just standing there, talking to himself.

Lin Fan leaned back in his chair as he looked outside at Kang Wei Fan.

Kang Wei Fan took a deep breath, then gradually put the scallion pancake into his mouth.

This appearance, this smell, they all score full marks, but how’s the taste? Perhaps it would just be average.

Any food, without good ingredients, would not taste good. No matter how good the chef is, the rule cannot be broken.

He lowered his head and took a bite.

*crack*

A crisp and clear sound exploded from Kang Wei Fan’s mouth.

Fraud Tian’s jaw dropped as he stared unblinkingly at Kang Wei Fan’s facial expression.

To him, the face made by the customers when they ate the scallion pancakes was an art form.

At this moment, Kang Wei Fan’s pupils dilated. His eyes widened till they were like a bull’s.

In his mouth, a taste that he had never experienced before overwhelmed his taste buds.

It was as if time had stopped.

Everything around him became silent.

The fragrance of the scallion, the strength of the dough and all the different flavors were like a bomb that exploded inside his mouth.

Kang Wei Fan looked up at the heavens.

He felt as if he was at the edge of a volcano. It’s scorching hot air spread throughout his body, and his heart was burning.

This was the flavor of the onions and chili.

Suddenly, Kang Wei Fan trembled. He felt as if icy cold rainwater was falling upon his body, extinguishing the flames from before.

This was the fragrance of coriander, which brought with it a refreshing feeling.

The coolness and the heat clashed.

The contrast was extremely pleasurable to the taste buds. This was the pinnacle of gourmet food.

Fraud Tian stared blankly at him, “God d*mn, this guy’s expression is even more exaggerated than any of the other townsfolk.”

Kang Wei Fan didn’t say a word, but his expression said all. He was filled with excitement and a sense of freedom.

His head lowered.

Eat!

Eat, eat!

He wouldn’t leave even a single morsel of food.

If he could, he would gladly eat even the plastic bag which had been tainted with the scallion pancake’s flavor.

Kang Wei Fan closed his eyes. His tongue swirled around his mouth. The aftertaste lingered in his mouth.

Fraud Tian was stunned, “He’s crying…”

Even though Kang Wei Fan’s eyes were shut, tears flowed from the corner of his eyes, which glistened under the sunlight.

This was the peak of the flavor, and it had an immense impact on him.

He was a gourmet and his biggest wish in life was to experience food that could move his heart.

Unfortunately, he had never been able to experience it, but this time, his wish was fulfilled.
