Anime Crossover: The Daily Life of a Veterinarian Starting with a Divine Beast

Chapter 426 The Nostalgia Trigger Unique to Gourmet Anime

All I can say is, don't try to judge these old monsters' thoughts using ordinary people's values; you'll never see eye to eye.

You might think these people are old-fashioned and stubborn, but actually they are more open-minded than you, otherwise they wouldn't have lived long.

If you easily complain and get emotional over trivial matters, then even if you have a long lifespan, you are destined not to live long. Longevity depends heavily on your mindset! People who are petty and calculating are destined not to live long.

Because all the free time is wasted on making things difficult for yourself.

As for Hong Anguo and Brigitte Lin's behavior, it can only be described as their daily affectionate relationship, just a display of their relationship. Anyway, Zhang Xuanlin is very used to it and has seen it too many times!

After a while, Hong Xiudie and Xiao Mi also came over with their own cooked delicacies, which they brought to everyone to enjoy.

Hong Xiudie is a version of Xiao Fugui's Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.

As expected, Xiaomi has assembled a team of outstanding individuals.

It can actually be described as stewed potatoes, carrots, eggplants, etc., a French dish, its original name is Provençal stew.

However, when the man and the mouse walked over, Hong Xiudie's expression was clearly a little depressed and complicated. It was very simple; after they finished making their work, they tasted each other's creations.

Hong Xiudie readily admitted defeat.

With one bite, she was suddenly reminded of the first time her mother made fried rice for her... Hong Xiudie's cooking skills had long surpassed her mother's, but she still couldn't forget that taste, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Yes, it's a common nostalgia trip, a return to one's original aspirations! Hong Xiudie did indeed stray a bit from the path of a chef, focusing solely on the exquisite handling of ingredients. The essence of luminous cuisine is the absolute handling of ingredients, meaning no mistakes during the cooking process! Everything is perfect!

Her own mindset has long since changed from initially enjoying and loving food to being competitive.

She complains that her companion is a culinary fanatic who has no other joy in life than cooking, but unknowingly, Hong Xiudie discovers that she herself has long since become the person she despises the most.

Not only is Xiaomi's cooking skill superb, but since coming to Li Muyang's little world, he has never wasted a moment. Moreover, because he has come into contact with more novel ingredients, Xiaomi's pursuit of food has become even higher!

Unbeknownst to him, Xiaomi has come a long way on the path of cooking because he truly loves food. Cooking skills are not the only thing; more importantly, he wants to see others feel happy when they taste his creations.

Li Muyang had observed Xiao Mi's cooking process. He seemed relaxed and at ease with every step. He was truly enjoying the cooking process. Xiao Mi treated every ingredient and step with enthusiasm, but he didn't seem overly nervous. Perhaps that was his culinary heart.

Treat food with a normal attitude? Regardless of its value or status?

In the art of cooking, the heart of the chef is very important. No matter how good the chef's skills are, a chef without the heart of the chef will not go far.

Cooking skills are actually more of a foundation, and are related to cooking experience and physical fitness. Chefs who can easily make luminous dishes are basically superhuman in terms of physical fitness, each one ridiculously strong.

There's no way around it; to do every cooking step meticulously, you need to be physically strong! Even if you can think of it, it's difficult to actually do it.

After tasting the best of millet, Hong Xiudie knew she had lost, but she accepted it wholeheartedly.

In terms of cooking skills, the two are not that different, because they are limited by the ingredients they use, both using ordinary ingredients. But the difference in their culinary spirit is huge!

She wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat; she was just a little annoyed by Li Muyang's smiling face.

Yeah, I got proven wrong.

Xiaomi, on the other hand, had a very high opinion of Hong Xiudie. At least, besides Li Muyang, she was the most skilled cook Xiaomi had ever seen among humans, and she had a promising future!

Hong Xiudie wasn't unaware of her own path; it's just that at such a young age, she was already invincible in the culinary world, with no one among her peers whom she couldn't defeat, and even the older generation were not incapable of competing with her. Under such circumstances, she became somewhat arrogant and set her goals too far ahead.

Being down-to-earth is the most important thing right now.

Last time, Li Muyang's Buddhist cuisine had already made Hong Xiudie somewhat change her mind, realizing that she had been a bit narrow-minded. However, because Li Muyang's culinary heart was mainly characterized by healing, moderation, and relief, it only made Hong Xiudie feel much more relaxed at the time.

It diminished Hong Xiudie's competitive nature.

He still hasn't remembered his original intention of becoming a chef.

Xiaomi's original intention this time can be considered a nostalgia trip. His original intention involves heartfelt joy and happiness, which easily evokes the happiest memories in his mind and helps Hong Xiudie correct her attitude towards cooking.

Seeing his beloved granddaughter's expression, Hong Anguo stroked his chin with great satisfaction, just as he expected! Li Muyang had tasted Hong Xiudie's delicacies and naturally knew her skill level; he was confident that Xiaomi would win against her.

It's surprising that this rat spirit has such culinary skills; truly, the world is full of wonders!

Li Muyang didn't go to Hong Xiudie to show off. What was there to be proud of? It was Xiao Mi who won! Not him! But praise was still due! He gave Xiao Mi a thumbs up, "Well done!"

Xiaomi chuckled and scratched his head, relieved.

He was initially in a relaxed state, but after tasting Hong Xiudie's delicious food, he realized that he might have been too complacent and that he was almost about to lose.

If it weren't for Hong Xiudie's problematic mindset, which perfectly matched Xiao Mi's passion for cooking, Xiao Mi would feel that she was just as good as Hong Xiudie, with not much difference between them.

Humility! So humble! That's true character!

The food has been served, I have to try it!

As the group was enjoying the delicious food prepared by Hong Xiudie and Xiao Mi, a streak of light suddenly shot out and appeared next to Hong Anguo. A dragon's face, drawn by the aroma, approached and opened its mouth, ready to devour Xiao Mi's culinary delights.

But Hong Anguo reacted quickly, or rather, just as he expected, he promptly stuck a wooden stick into the mouth of the suddenly appearing creature and performed a nucleic acid test on it... Ugh~

This also prevented him from taking a bite of the gathering of heroes.

"Damn it! Old Hong! You almost made me throw up!" the strange creature exclaimed as it hurriedly backed away.

It resembles a dragon but is not a dragon, a phoenix but is not a phoenix, a qilin but is not a qilin, and a tortoise but is not a tortoise, yet it possesses the might of a dragon, the nobility of a phoenix, the courage of a qilin, and the spirit of a tortoise. It is the direct descendant of the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin, a creature that is unlike any other.

Hong Anguo, with a long face, scolded, "If you take that bite, are we supposed to eat anymore?"

However, the Four-Faced Beast was not ashamed at all, but rather proud, saying, "Oh, what's the big deal? What on my body isn't a treasure? Back then, you humans treated even my saliva, let alone my... well, you know, like treasures! You wanted to put everything you saw into your mouths..."

As he spoke, Si Bu Xiang broke out in a cold sweat, because without him noticing, Hong Xiu Die had already placed a gleaming golden kitchen knife against his neck, and turned to Li Mu Yang to ask, "Old Li, do you know how to cook Si Bu Xiang? I've been wanting to taste it for a long time!"

Li Muyang smiled calmly, stroked his chin, and carefully observed the Four-Faced Beast, saying, "I know a little! I know a little!"

"Alright!" Hong Xiudie smiled wickedly and swung her hand to chop at the target!

The four-faced creature vanished in a flash of light, then reappeared behind Hong Anguo, its face filled with terror as it cried out, "Little ancestor! You're serious! You really want to kill me?! I've watched you grow up! I even changed your diapers back in the day..."

"Die!" Hong Xiudie immediately became enraged and chased after him again, her eyes gleaming red! And this time, she really didn't hold back with her strike! The four-legged creature was so frightened that it hid behind Brigitte Lin again.

I'm outta here! My little auntie's gone berserk!

But how could Hong Xiudie let him off so easily? Moreover, this Si Bu Xiang kept talking non-stop, throwing out all sorts of embarrassing stories as he ran. Hong Xiudie might have been joking at first, but now it has turned into a real intention to kill him!

"Alright, alright! What kind of behavior is this!" Hong Anguo finally spoke up after seeing Hong Xiudie chasing the Sibyl for so long, "Don't let Mu Yang laugh at us! You greedy thing! Watch your mouth! Otherwise, I really won't care!"

"You've suffered so much because of your foul mouth! Why don't you ever learn your lesson?"

Si Bu Xiang finally shut up, but Hong Xiu Die couldn't stop herself and slashed at Si Bu Xiang with her knife, but... only a crisp metallic clang was heard.

It was obvious that the Four-Faced Beast was just teasing Hong Xiudie.

After slashing her, Hong Xiudie barely managed to vent her anger, which could be considered a form of catharsis. But a real fight? She couldn't win.

"Grandma, you can't even cut me, why bother?" Four-Faced Man teased with a hint of helplessness, "Isn't this just asking for trouble? Your hand must be numb from the shock! Geigeigei!"

Hong Xiudie glared at him again, and Hong Anguo, who was standing to the side, raised his hand and struck him with his stick. The Four-Faced Beast let out a miserable scream, "Ugh~ It's behaving itself! It's behaving itself!"

That voice, inexplicably alluring~

"Tch! He just uses his magic weapon to bully people..." After being hit by Hong Anguo, Si Bu Xiang could only mutter under his breath.

Hong Anguo's forehead veins bulged: "Mu Yang, you guys probably haven't eaten enough yet, have you? How about we have another meal?"

Li Muyang didn't stand on ceremony: "Sure!"

Si Bu Xiang's eyes widened in disbelief: "What the hell! Brother! You look all respectable! But you're just as inhuman as me!"

Li Muyang (＾v＾) with a kind and polite smile.

Hong Anguo's lips twitched. It's over.

With a wave of his hand, Li Muyang summoned the Shennong Beast from the small world.

The Shennong Beast, summoned by the call, lazily opened its eyes and then stared at the Four-Faced Beast.

Shennong Beast (?_?): "Uh..."

Four-Faced Beasts Σ(?д?|||)??: "WC!"

"My eldest nephew?!"

"Uncle!?"

Li Muyang curled his lip: "Shennong Beast, your nephew just insulted me."

The Shennong Beast's previously bewildered expression instantly changed, becoming extremely dangerous: "Nephew, what are you doing? Old Li is my contractor in this life! He's your elder! Don't you know any better?! Your parents have spoiled you rotten! You don't even know how to respect your elders..."
