In a teahouse not far from the restaurant, two men sat facing each other, watching the scene of the Xiang Restaurant's fire.

One of them was a young man. He was tall and thin, refined and somewhat arrogant. At first glance, he gave off a feeling of superiority.

If Chen Feng and Li Li were here, they would have definitely recognized this man. He was the rich second generation member Chen Feng had flirted with back then in Times Square.

The other one was a middle-aged man who was covered in tattoos. It had large copper eyes and a full beard, giving it a sense of might that was not angry. His bulging muscles, in particular, contained a power that shocked everyone with every move he made.

"Sigh, they actually escaped!" The middle-aged man fiercely said, completely disregarding the fact that he was in public.

"It's on fire! So many people, how is it possible that there isn't any chaos?" The middle-aged man continued to grumble, his eyes filled with the feeling of grinding his teeth.

According to his thinking, only a few people would be able to escape in the chaos.

"Hur hur, nothing is impossible." The lanky man took a sip of the tea and said calmly, "Don't you forget that this group of people are police officers. They will always do things to maintain order!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he said unwillingly, "It's rare for the Criminal Police squad to gather together. It's a good time to catch them all in one fell swoop. I'm not willing to just let them go like this. "

With that, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and stared at the tall and skinny man in front of him, "Young master Chu, I listened to your words and exploded this restaurant. "To be honest, what kind of enmity do you have with that guy for you to be so cruel?"

"Humph!" Master Chu humphed. It made the man feel guilty. He lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

"You don't need to know what kind of enmity there is between us. You only need to know that at the same time I take revenge, I'll also take revenge for your Black Tiger Gang." As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man mysteriously and teasingly, "Vice Sect Leader Cao, oh no, I should call you Sect Leader Cao. Actually, in your heart, you should be thanking this group of police officers. If it wasn't for them, then that Hao Tianlong … "

Speaking up to here, Young Master Chu did not say anything, but made Sect Leader Cao's face turn red. He hurriedly tried to defend himself, "Young Master Chu, what are you saying? To these policemen, which one of us isn't ruthless? Otherwise, why would I listen to you and place a bomb in the kitchen of Xiang Restaurant."

Master Chu slightly turned the cup on the table and calmly said, "I don't care what you think, but you just need to remember to do what I tell you. I guarantee that you will get some benefits."

"Yes, young master Chu, you are my benefactor, so naturally, I will listen to you." Sect Leader Cao raised his face and put on a fawning expression, "Since they were lucky and weren't burned to death, what should we do next?"

"Chen Feng's restaurant should open soon..."

Speaking up to here, this Young Master Chu did not speak any further. He only lightly swirled his teacup while his eyes looked at Chen Feng and the others in front of the brightly lit restaurant. It was unknown what he was thinking.

… ….

It had been a few days since the hotel incident. Six or seven of the cooks in the kitchen had been burned to death in the fire.

The police suspected that this was an arson investigation. Li Li's squad was busy investigating the incident, working overtime every few days.

In the blink of an eye, the restaurant near Chen Feng's opened for business. As it was a soft decoration and there was no building construction, most of the furnishings were directly installed at the appropriate location. Therefore, in less than half a month, it was already completed.

At this moment, Chen Feng was fiddling with something in a private room of the restaurant.

Outside the room, He Shan was waiting quietly. In the following days, he would be the head chef of this restaurant.

"Creaaaak." The door to the private box opened and Chen Feng walked out with a smile on his face.

"Madman Bro, have you finished adjusting?" He Shan asked anxiously.

Just now, Chen Feng had mysteriously told him to concoct a type of seasoning powder for him to cook with. He Shan, who was obsessed with culinary arts, was naturally intrigued by Chen Feng. Thus, he waited for Chen Feng outside the private box.

"Mm. Alright." Chen Feng smiled lightly and waved the small bag in his hand, handing it over to He Shan.

He Shan took the small bag and unzipped it, only to see that it was filled to the brim with small bundles of folded paper. There was a paper bag about the size of a thumb, and it was filled to the brim with something.

"Is this it?" He Shan took out a small packet and sniffed it.

"Hmm? How come there's no smell? " He Shan was somewhat puzzled. Looking at Chen Feng's smiling expression, he felt that it was impossible for Chen Feng to lie to him.

As a result, He Shan carefully opened the paper package.

He saw that what was wrapped in the paper was a pile of translucent powder, just like the usual MSG.

"Crazy Bro, is this really the seasoning you were talking about?" He Shan couldn't help but ask. From his professional point of view, this transparent powder was clearly a common MSG.

Chen Feng nodded. "This is it. I call it 'Thousand Flavors Powder'."

This white crystal was not a simple MSG. It was a type of powder refined by Chen Feng from several flavorful herbs and some expensive Chinese medicine. It could greatly increase the taste of food and even had the effect of strengthening the body.

"Follow me." After saying that, Chen Feng headed towards the kitchen.

There were basically no decorations in the restaurant's kitchen. There was only a large vat placed in the corner of the stove. The large vat was the size of three to four people, and it took up almost the entire corner.

At this moment, the large vat was filled with clear water.

"Pour this bag of 'Thousand Flavor Powder' into your hands." Chen Feng pointed at the large vat and said.

He Shan nodded and did as he was told. He poured the clear crystal from the packet into the large vat.

As soon as the crystal went into the water, it dissolved, leaving no trace behind.

"And then?" He Shan waited for Chen Feng's instructions.

"Next, you can boil a pot of soup with the water in the vat." After Chen Feng finished speaking, he sat down on a stool at the side.

"Alright." When he talked about cooking soup, He Shan was suddenly full of energy.

Since the restaurant had yet to open and there weren't many ingredients, He Shan just boiled a pot of ordinary tomato egg soup.

Within a few minutes, a bowl of steaming hot soup was placed in front of Chen Feng.

"It doesn't make any difference if you don't see it." He Shan looked at the color of the tomato egg soup and said with doubt, "The color of the soup is exactly the same as the one I usually cook. Even the fragrance hasn't changed."

Chen Feng still had a confident smile on his face. He pointed at the spoon and said, "Drink it."

However, He Shan still had the mindset to give it a try. He gently scooped a spoonful and drank it.

"Hmm?" The moment the soup entered his mouth, He Shan suddenly frowned.

Chen Feng watched with a faint smile, his face showing an expression as though he had known this would happen.

He Shan's eyebrows creased deeper and deeper. In the end, his face was filled with shock. He couldn't help but curse, "F * ck, is this still soup?"
