Chapter 321: Take Anything After Eating

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“Add two and a half grams of oil. And if you add a drop of vinegar into the mix, it will stimulate the other ingredients and they’ll fuse together, which will be good for digestion…” Qin Fen didn’t take so much as a glance at the knife beside. He pointed at the nearest dish and began to give an endless speech. “Of course, the vinegar will affect the taste. It’s not a problem for a chef who likes making perfect food, but by the standards of a dietitian, it’s not top-level, at the very least.”

“And this dish…” Qin Fen didn’t give even a bit of face at all. According to Squad Leader Hao’s teachings, if you wanted to be recognized by competent people, you needed to show your ability first!

That black-as-the-bottom-of-a-wok complexion of Fei Wei seemed to be blanketed by a layer of coal ash along with Qin Fen’s evaluation. Those bell-like eyes bloomed with a fierce glow, looking like he wanted to eat someone. That pig iron pot also kept on slightly shaking at this moment, as if someone would be fried in it any moment.

Three minutes later, Manager Hua was staring at Qin Fen, dumbstruck. The evaluation this time not only pointed out the defects but also gave suggestions for revisions. At the same time, it also pointed out the side effects of the said revisions.

Had he not known that Qin Fen was a martial artist beforehand, Manager Hua would have really suspected that Qin Fen was a dietitian. He might not have fully understood what Qin Fen said, but his gestures were loaded with convincing self-confidence.

Serenity soon returned to the dining hall. However, the look on Fen Wei’s face did not improve at all, not in the least. His bell-sized eyes were glued on Qin Fen as if he wanted to swallow Qin Fen whole.

Manager Hua secretly peeked a glance at the hand holding the iron wok and sighted bulging thick blue veins at the back of his hand.

Last time Fei Wei, Master Fei was in such a state was when he wanted to slap someone…

After a while, Fei Wei slowly opened his mouth under everyone’s attention as he said in a deep voice with his broken gong-like throat, “If I add six grams of Firedragon Pulp, you say that the flaw will…”

“It will disappear, in theory. But that dish will have certain timeliness.” Qin Fen didn’t so much as raise his eyes. “If you can’t digest it after eating it in the next thirty-five minutes, it will hinder the absorption of the nutrients.”

A sliver of a smile appeared on those hideous lips of Fei Wei. At the sight of this, Manager Hua’s eyes flickered with even more worry. Master Fei’s smiling face turned somewhat uglier.

Pa!

Fei Wei ruthlessly smacked a palm on the stone table before Qin Fen. Owing to which, the dishes with food and the bowl of soup flew less than one millimeter in the air before making a series of clashing sounds as they landed on the table soon after.

“Kid…” Fei Wei pushed his ugly mug before Qin Fen. “Tell me, how do you know that Cookster Fatty?”

Manager Hua’s head was filled with questions. A fat chef asking a guest how he knows the Cookster fatty? What the hell is this mess? Do you think that this lieutenant colonel is a cook? Are there cooking shifts in the army? The problem is that he isn’t fat!

Those calm eyes of Qin Fen which never showed any expression flickered with a faint surprise for the first time. Who would have thought he would meet the figure he had long heard of but had never met in the top-level fitness club of Shengjing.

“Cookster Fatty is my drill instructor.” Qin Fen could no longer sit still. He stood up and cupped his hands and bowed to Fei Wei like a junior greeting his elders. “Qin Fen greet Mister Fei.”

Fei Wei’s face contorted several times in a strange manner before he looked up and broke into laughter. His laughter was filled with happiness and excitement.

Manager Hua looked at the entire scene, puzzled. Suddenly, he discovered that he had been inadequately using his brains. The… violent storm has turned into a meeting of acquaintances in the twinkling of an eye!?

Fei Wei opened his mouth wide as he slapped Qin Fen’s shoulder with his leaf-fan-like palm. “I say, your several corrections are not popular among the public and somewhat unorthodox, why is your style very similar to Cookster Fatty?” Qin Fen kept on smiling and nodding. Cookster Fatty had said that if I met an old acquaintance, I would recognize him. It seems he was really speaking the truth.

“These dishes are for those who have no taste.” Fei Wei dragged Qin Fen by his arm. “Come! I will take you to my kitchen and let you try a few of my real nutritious dishes. Don’t worry! They are absolutely not as bad as Cookster Fatty, they are absolutely the best in the world.”

Having met an acquaintance far away from home, Qin Fen resumed the courtesy that a junior should have. He nodded to Fei Wei. “Drill instructor had said that your dishes were particularly fragrant. They make it easier for people to develop the habit of overeating. And…”

“Let the people gain weight easily, right?” Fei Wei flung his palm. “What about him! His food is so unpalatable, even pigs will spit it out! Others can’t even eat his food, how could anyone even absorb any nutrients?”

Qin Fen deeply sympathized with Fei Wei’s words and nodded again. Those dishes were indeed unpalatable. Yet he had forced himself to gorge it down.

At the thought of gorging it all down without vomiting even a bit, Qin Fen looked a bit proud. Anyone who could eat Cookster Fatty’s dishes without vomiting deserved to be proud of himself.

Manager Hua and the three followed Qin Fen foolishly. In their minds, they kept on guessing the origins of this lieutenant colonel! Why is the chef, who barely ever pays any special attention to even the richest member, act so intimate, like he is seeing his own son?

As they entered the kitchen, the knife in Fei Wei’s hand started cutting the ingredients on the chopping board as fast as lightning. The frying pan in his hand danced back and forth in the air like a special artistic performance. Manager Hua’s jaw dropped at the sight of this. So, this cook had never cooked seriously before!

Fei Wei’s stir-frying didn’t look focused. He glanced at Qin Fen through the corner of his eyes. “Kid, it looks like you want to ask something. Ask anything you want!”

“Drill instructor has talked about you many times. He has always praised you.” Qin Fen looked at those rising flames from the pan. “He said that he is the second-best nutritionist in the world, and you are third…”

“Bull!”

Fei Wei’s furious roar was as loud as a thunderstorm. Manager Hua felt like seeing natural gas rising from the ground from the shock. He thought that the roar just now was the explosion of natural gas.

The smiling face of Fei Wei turned unhappy in the blink of an eye. “That damn fatty is third! Father is second! Kid, you’ve mixed it all up!”

Qin Fen grinned and shrugged his shoulders. Obviously, there was a previous grievance between the two masters of their generations. It seems that neither of them could accept it.

“Drill instructor said that you were once hired by the Master’s College of Bioengineering to be the head professor!” Qin Fen stared at Fei Wei’s face earnestly and finally found a faint prideful look on the other party’s face. People who could be hired as a head professor in the federation weren’t steam buns that could be found anywhere on the streets. There were only a few of them.

“Yeah, I was.” A prideful look flashed past Fei Wei’s face as he soon calmed down.

“That…” Qin Fen clucked his tongue. “I don’t understand, you should like nutriology very much. The Master’s College of Bioengineering should have the best facilities for you to carry out your research, but… why…”

“Because there are only idiots studying there.” An unhappy look blanketed Fei Wei’s face. “What’s a professor? He not only does research, he needs to teach students as well. I saw that those students were very good at learning. But that’s it, they were only good at learning. They don’t have any innovative spirit. And that made me angry every time I saw those idiots! No matter how I teach them, they couldn’t surpass me. Then what’s the point in teaching them? What I wanted was to teach a doctor who could take a big step forward in nutriology. I didn’t want to teach a bunch of idiots who only know how to eat my leftovers! If I have to teach those idiots, I might as well cook here comfortably.”

Manager Hua’s throat wriggled up and down as he gulped. Who in the world didn’t know that the students of Master’s College of Bioengineering were the elite of the elites? This was the first time he had heard someone calling them a bunch of idiots. Master Fei is really not an ordinary person.

During the conversation, a hot stir-fry was finished.

Qin Fen immediately raised his thumb as he took a bite. This was the best stir-fry he had ever tasted.

Fei Wei looked at Qin Fen’s face carefully for a few seconds before slowly shaking his head. “What a pity, what a pity! Although you have some power of comprehension, most of it seems to be used on martial dao. It’s as vast as the universe itself. You simply won’t have the time and energy to study nutriology. I learned nutriology myself… sigh…”

Suddenly recalling Cookster’s words, Qin Fen asked, “Mister Fei, I heard that you have studied very mystical pharmaceuticals…”

“Kid, come here.” Fei Wei shook his leaf-fan-like palm. “You see, I can cook any dish you want for you. Just don’t eye those special pharmaceuticals. Those are all for my disciple, who has yet to appear. Sigh…”

Speaking of disciples, Fei Wei sighed twice in a row. His face was filled with inexplicable loneliness.

Manager Hua was a bit confused. Why do all the people standing at the peak of their fields want someone to surpass them? Is there something wrong with their brains?

Qin Fen looked at Fei Wei with admiration. Sure enough, all the characters standing at the peak wanted to look at what was above the peak. Only such ambition could lead someone to the peak of great dao.

“Mister Fei…” Qin Fen sunk into his thoughts. “I have a friend, he might be worthy enough to become your disciple.”

“You?” Fei Wei’s smiled had a sliver of disbelief. “Kid, I know you feel sorry that I can’t find a disciple, but you can’t just recommend anyone to me.”

“Is that so?” Qin Fen, without asking anything anymore, took out the second generation Life or Death Pill from the dragon belt and pushed it before Fei Wei. “Take a look!”

Sniff… sniff… sniff…

Fei Wei sniffed the fragrance through the two black holes of his nostrils. His two bell-like eyes glowed as if he was looking at a stunning beauty. His eyes were completely glued on the Life or Death Pill in Qin Fen’s hand, and nowhere else.

Manager Hua looked at the usually hot-headed cook who practically snatched that weird-looking pill from Qin Fen’s hand with incredulity. Just from the appearance of that pill, one could easily tell that it was not good to eat.

Fei Wei looked and smelled the Life or Death Pill after having taken it from Qin Fen’s hand. If it wasn’t for the fact that this pill was Qin Fen’s personal belonging, he would have even licked with his tongue.

After having observed the small pill for ten minutes, Fei Wei’s expression turned solemn. “Strange, this thing has the shadow of that damn fatty and yet it is very different. It is reasonable to say that that damn fatty’s way of thinking has always been the prototype. He can only be third in the federation with that kind of thinking…”

Qin Fen shook his head. This Fei Wei is truly interesting. He never forgot to push Cookster behind him.

Without another word, Qin Fen picked up the Super Berserker Pill from the dragon belt.

“Hey!” Fei Wei’s voice became very high. “That damn fatty…”

“Mister Fei…” Qin Fen took back the two pills and said, “What if I said that these pills weren’t made by the drill instructor but by my friend.”

“What?” Fei Wei’s voice became higher. “Your friend? How old is he?”

“He should be about my age…” Qin Fen nodded. “He now in his freshmen year…”

BANG!

Fei Wei slapped hard on Qin Fen’s shoulders. The resulting sound gave the impression of a heavy boxer hitting the sandbag. Immediately after, the tiles under Qin Fen’s feet were crushed into pieces.

Qin Fen forced a smile. It was already not easy to distribute the weight of two thousand kg evenly. Let alone manage it after being struck by a sudden external force. It seems that my control is far lower than I had reckoned. I really have to thank Mister Fei for this. If it was not for this slap, I really would not have been able to notice my shortcomings.

“Kid, where is your friend studying at?” Fei Wei’s eyes were burning with fervor. “Tell me, quickly.”

“This…” Qin Fen looked a bit embarrassed. “He is studying in the very same place where those idiots you just talked about are…”

“What?” Fei Wei turned to Manager Hua and said, “Tell your boss I am thinking of imparting my knowledge and educating people.”

Looking at Fei Wei, who had already stepped out of the door, Qin Fen said, “Mister Fei, he is not at the college now…”

Fei Wei, who was only a step out the door, almost fell down on his head. He turned and glared at Qin Fen. “Kid, where is he?”

“About this…” Qin Fen scratched his head as if he was thinking deeply. “Where did he go? How come I don’t seem to remember?”

Fei Wei rolled his big eyes. Immediately, he recalled that he had refused Qin Fen’s plea to see his treasures.

“Good boy…” Fei Wei arrived before Qin Fen in two steps and grabbed him. “You are indeed the disciple of that damn fatty.”

Qin Fen heaved a sigh. “In fact, I don’t want to look it for myself. I have a few friends. Their bodies are a bit special. Some of whom are still lying in bed. Furthermore, their constitution isn’t that good…”

“Alright, alright, you don’t need to say any more.” Fei Wei forcibly interrupted Qin Fen. “I don’t care if you take it to kill people or to set it on fire, you can do whatever you want. You can take whatever you want, okay? Now, tell me, where is your friend?”

Qin Fen, taking back the Life or Death Pill, just smiled. Immediately, a stupified look appeared on Fei Wei’s face. No wonder this pill had the unorthodox style of that damn fatty. It took him a while to find a disciple because the disciple had already been picked by him first.

“Damn that fatty!” Fei Wei threw a key from his waist to Qin Fen. “Ask the manager where my safe is. The things you need are in it.”

In the blink of an eye, Fei Wei rushed out of the kitchen. Qin Fen could vaguely hear his unwilling complaints. “Damn that fatty, you have to grab everything from me! You stole my ranking, and now you even grabbed my disciple!”.
