Ren Ling was organizing a singing competition for the young masters when she noticed Chen Zao had not returned. She thought Chen Zao was still deciding on the Silver Pot and didn't want to send someone to rush him.
When Kun returned and asked her, she learned that Chen Zao and Ren Xiao had already left without saying a word!
What the heck!
How could these two just leave without a word?
That’s so rude!
Ren Ling quickly instructed Cai'er to send a message down, dispatching guards to chase after them! They must bring Chef Chen back! She still needed to discuss future collaboration plans with Chef Chen.
Cai'er relayed the message to the Female Guards below, speaking a bit too quickly and with some urgency, causing several of them to misunderstand. They thought Chef Chen had angered their strategist and were going to capture Chen Zao.
As several Female Guards exited the Commander's Office, the gatekeeper Han Peng happened to be finishing his shift and heading home for rest.
Hearing that the Female Guards were going to capture Chen Zao, Han Peng immediately perked up, deciding not to rest and leading the charge to catch Chen Zao.
This group rushed out from the Commander's Office at the cliff, while Chen Zao and Ren Xiao had already happily left the Divine Bow Corps' base.
On the mountain path out of Linglong Cliff, under the stars, Ren Xiao walked alongside Chef Chen, her excitement nearly bursting.
She kept praising Chen Zao: "Chef Chen, I admire you more and more! Not only are you the best at cooking, but you're also number one at singing and playing guitar! Is there anything else you're number one at that I don't know about?"
"Haha, I can't take too much praise; if you keep it up, I might have to share my delicious snacks that I never give to anyone else."
"Delicious snacks!!"
Like a baby seeing a pacifier, Ren Xiao's cute face suddenly lit up with excitement!
She was so thrilled she could barely speak: "Chen... Chef Chen, you're number one handsome! Number one tall! You also have a number one beautiful soul!"
"Hahaha."
Chen Zao was laughing so hard from the compliments that he reached into his backpack and pulled out a bag of Spicy Duck Neck, handing it to Ren Xiao. "This is one of my favorite snacks, Exquisite Spicy Duck Neck! Here, it's for you!"
"Top quality? Unmatched? Duck neck?!"
Ren Xiao opened the paper bag and saw several dark red pieces of duck neck inside.
Under the streetlight, she noticed that there were some chili flakes stuck to them, and they looked quite spicy!
Unusually, Ren Xiao didn't immediately grab the duck neck that Chen Zao had given her. It wasn't because her hands were dirty; they were freshly washed and clean. She just had a slight aversion to poultry like duck.
For Chen Zao, this Spicy Duck Neck was indeed one of his favorite foods.
In the past, when money was tight, he couldn't afford to buy this kind of duck neck often, but whenever he did eat it, he enjoyed it immensely.
When eating with Fat Jin, the two would compete as if they were fighting, racing to see who could eat the duck neck faster.
Now that he had money, he no longer had to compete with Fat Jin for duck neck.
These days, he bought Spicy Duck Neck by the basketful and brought plenty every time he came to the apocalypse.
He loved to chew on a few pieces whenever he had the chance; it never got old!
That night turned into a big deal for Chen Zao. In high spirits, he pinched a piece of duck neck from the paper bag held by Ren Xiao and popped it into his mouth, savoring the sweet and spicy flavor. He told Ren Xiao, "This Exquisite Spicy Duck Neck is so good! Why aren't you eating? The ducks I use for this kind of duck neck are not those mutated farm ducks you have in your military camp. Those poor ducks have no meat on their necks at all; their flesh is foul-smelling, even their bones stink. They are completely inedible."
Ren Xiao nodded vigorously in agreement. She knew all too well how terrible the ducks in their military camp tasted; they were both gamey and stinky, making it hard to prepare any palatable dishes. Usually, only the lowest-ranking recruits would eat anything related to duck; veterans with any standing never touched duck meat.
In Ren Xiao's impression, wild ducks were also hard to eat. There were many wild ducks in the rainforest that looked plump and juicy, but their meat had a sour taste, and even their eggs were foul-smelling and inedible.
Several chefs in Tangling had tried to come up with delicious dishes using wild duck meat found around the base, but so far no one had truly succeeded.
Ren Xiao had never tasted good duck meat, let alone duck neck.
So when she learned that the snack Chen Zao gave her was duck neck, her inflated mood took a bit of a hit.
But now, hearing Chen Zao say that this duck neck was not made from an ordinary duck, Ren Xiao's excitement reignited, and she asked Chen Zao, "Chef Chen, what kind of duck is this duck neck made from?"
"Hey, this duck neck is called Exquisite Spicy Duck Neck, and of course, it's made from premium Spicy Duck Neck!"
Chen Zao began to ramble again: "You must have never seen this kind of premium Spicy Duck Neck. This is a type of duck that doesn't know how to swim, which is the complete opposite of the Waterfall Swimming Chicken you had before. I wonder if the genes of these two types of poultry are reversed; one chicken specializes in swimming in water while this duck doesn't know how to swim at all."
Ren Xiao displayed a look of wonder, listening attentively as Chen Zao shared insights about wild gourmet ingredients.
"This Spicy Duck Neck, because it can't swim, usually just lies on the rocks by the shore watching its chicken friends play in the water. It always stretches its neck to watch them, and over time, its neck becomes particularly dense and resilient. The neck of this duck makes for unparalleled duck neck! Plus, with my secret recipe and unique cooking method for marinating it, after going through more than a hundred processes, we finally get the finished product. This is definitely gourmet food!"
"Another hundred processes!" Ren Xiao was astonished.
"Of course! In the cooking stage, if it doesn't go through more than a hundred processes to create gourmet food, can it even be called gourmet? This Spicy Duck Neck not only has a complex cooking process but also requires very particular ingredients." Chen Zao continued to boast: "I’m not afraid to tell you that I use over a hundred secret spices for marinating these duck necks! Each one is rare in nature! You can imagine how precious it is!"
"Wow!" Ren Xiao was so shocked that her hands trembled as she stared at the duck neck in the bag and exclaimed, "This is more precious than gold!"
Chen Zao took out a piece and said, "This marinated duck neck is fragrant and rich; every bite teases your taste buds! The more you eat, the more you want to eat; the more you eat, the more you love it. Eventually, you'll find yourself unable to resist the charm of this Spicy Duck Neck! Trust me, this is definitely gourmet food you cannot miss! Weren't you upset before because you didn't get to taste Mouthwatering Chicken? I can responsibly tell you that this Exquisite Spicy Duck Neck tastes even better than the Mouthwatering Chicken your Sister Two and her friends had!"
