"You've heard of my name? You must have heard of my name." Xiang En said with certainty.
Faced with Xiang En's certainty, Shao 'an could not find a reason to prevaricate, so he nodded.
"That's great! I didn't expect my name to have spread so far. It seems that I'm one step closer to the throne of the number one female chef on the continent.”Xiang En said proudly.
Shao 'an silently looked down on Xiang En, who was sitting across from him. She was blatantly ignoring Master Abbe, Lei Hua, Mila, and the other female chefs who were now and would be on Dian Peak in the future.
"What? You look like you despise me!”Xiang En pointed the spearhead at Shao 'an.
Shao 'an, who had long been unable to resist Xiang En, immediately shook his head to show that he did not have that thought.
"Forget it. Why would I tell a little chef like you this?”Xiang En said as he glanced at Shao An.
"Young lady! Please don't use such an old-fashioned way of saying 'wen', as if I'm older than you!”Shao An retorted.
"As expected, boys of the same age are so childish.”Xiang En said.
Shao 'an was completely defeated by Xiang En. He decided to ignore Xiang En and set his eyes on the roasted potatoes that had been neglected for a long time.
"As expected of a child. The act of not talking to me out of spite is completely something that only a bullied child would do.”Xiang En suddenly spoke after a long silence.
" Cough, cough, cough…" Shao 'an, who was swallowing potatoes, choked.
Xiang En patted Shao 'an's back considerately, but the words she said made Shao' an sweat profusely.
"Now I'm sure that you're indeed a child who hasn't grown up. Only children choke when they eat.”Xiang En said with certainty.
Shao 'an's eyes were filled with tears. After thinking about it, he felt relieved. He was only a nine-and-a-half-year-old child now, but he still felt a lot of displeasure when an eight-and-a-half-year-old girl said that.

Shao 'an, who had calmed down, no longer wanted to talk about daily life with Xiang En. He shifted the topic to the brothers that Xiang En wanted to challenge.
"Xiang En, you said you're going to challenge a pair of brothers tomorrow. Can you tell me some information about them?”Shao 'an asked.
"Not bad. You've already entered the battle preparation state so quickly! Shao 'an, you have the potential to be my follower.”Xiang En teased Shao 'an.
"Hmph hmph hmph!" Shao 'an puffed up his face angrily.
"Sorry, I won't joke with you anymore.”Xiang En said apologetically.
"I don't know much about the brothers, but I'll tell you what I know.”Xiang En finally became serious.
Shao 'an saw that Xiang En had become serious, so he no longer puffed up his face.
"About that pair of brothers, I only know that they are called the dumpling brothers. The elder brother has the special chef qualification from Hunan Province and is quite powerful. The two brothers know how to make a special kind of dumplings called flame dumplings.”Xiang En said.
Dumpling Brothers! It was actually the two brothers. Shao 'an was very clear about the strength of these two brothers. Their strength was not just a little bit. Moreover, they had even more powerful dishes. Flame dumplings were not their trump card.
"Xiang En, I'm actually more curious about why you're having a cooking contest with the Dumpling Brothers.”Shao 'an asked.
"It's actually very simple. A few days ago, I heard the names of the brothers from the traveling merchants who passed by. Then, the brothers set up a cooking competition in the small town in front of them. They welcome any chef to challenge them, so I signed up.”Xiang En said.
"Is that the reason?" Shao 'an's expression was very strange.
"Is this reason not enough? Isn't it just a cooking contest?" Xiang En felt very strange about Shao 'an's behavior.
"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter." Xiang En laughed out loud without any warning. He lay on the ground laughing without restraint, his palms constantly slapping the ground.
Shao 'an was stunned. He suddenly had a feeling that it would be better if he continued to be lost in the fields. Facing a little girl whose emotions were constantly changing was really giving Shao' an a headache.
Xiang En, who had finally calmed down, stood up from the ground. However, when she saw Shao 'an's face, her smile that had already stopped erupted like a volcano.
"Y-y-your face…haha." Xiang En pointed at Shao 'an's face as he laughed maniacally.
Only then did Shao 'an know that the problem was with him, but he had no idea what was on the boy's face.
It was Xiang En, who laughed until he was numb to Shao 'an's face, who solved the mystery for him.
It turned out to be the marks left behind by the black roasted potato that Shao 'an had just eaten. The entire outer side of Shao' an's lips had turned black, and he indeed looked very comical.
For a moment, Shao 'an's face turned red. Making a fool of himself in front of a cute girl still made him feel a lot of shame.
Xiang En stood up. She patted the dust off her body and gestured to Shao 'an to follow her.
Shao 'an looked at Xiang En in confusion. He did not understand what this fickle little girl was up to.
Looking at Shao 'an's confused face, Xiang En was really disappointed in this childish boy he had just met.
"Let's go! Do you want to stay here for the night? If you're willing, I won't force you. Of course, I'm definitely not willing.”Xiang En said.
"Um…is this a hotel?" Shao 'an asked weakly.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would we go to the town?”Xiang En looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Of course I know…but I'm in some trouble for the time being, you know.”Shao 'an stammered.
"Difficult? Don't tell me you don't have money!" Xiang En immediately pointed out Shao 'an's difficulties.
"Exactly! So…"
"Stop! I know what you want to say.”Xiang En said.
"The stable! Cough cough, is there still room for discussion?”Shao 'an bargained.
Xiang En smiled sweetly. Love can't stay!"
Under Xiang En's unyielding attitude, Shao 'an could only choose to compromise. Xiang En led the two of them towards the road leading to the town.
Along the way, under the torture of Xiang En's various languages, Shao 'an grew rapidly. When the two of them arrived at the town, Shao' an felt that he had been trained.
Poor Xiang En still didn't know that the big boy beside him who she had personally trained along the way had already regarded her as his long-term meal ticket and guide.
When the boss asked them how many rooms they needed, Shao 'an answered quickly.
"Thank you, just one room. She's my fiancée!”
After saying this, Shao 'an took the key from the boss like a victorious general. Then, he walked towards the room with his chest puffed out and his head held high. He even turned around and gave Xiang En a provocative look.
