When Teacher Li saw Peng Yan finish the entire bowl of oil doused noodles, a surprised and gratified smile appeared on her face.

Peng Yan was suffering from anorexia, which brought great pressure to their family.

Long-term anorexia has caused his extreme weight loss, weak health, and even symptoms of anxiety and depression. It had also affected his normal life and work.

Teacher Li saw this and felt pain in her heart, but she could not help.

The death rate of anorexia sufferers was as high as 10%. It is a disorder that was difficult to treat.

Surgery treatment would not work either. The country stipulated that the patient’s medical history of anorexia had to be longer than three years before surgery could be carried out.

Yet Xu Le’s cooking actually allowed Peng Yan to eat in big mouthfuls.

To Li Jing, this was a miracle.

“How is it?”

Li Jing asked with concern when she saw Peng Yan finish the Oil Doused Noodles.

“Delicious!”

Peng Yan patted his stomach in satisfaction and gave Xu Le a thumbs up.

“It’s so delicious! At such a young age, his cooking skills have already reached such a high level!”

“These two Sichuan dishes are very authentic. They are similar to the ones I ate when my mother cooked for me when I was young.”

Peng Yan said happily as he recalled these memories.

Actually.

The taste of good food alone could hardly ease his underlying psychological barriers.

The main reason why he was cured of anorexia.

It was these two authentic Sichuan cuisines that made him recall the taste of home.

For every Chinese, the best food always came from their hometown. Specifically, it was the taste of their mother’s cooking.

That was because it was the first experience of a person’s taste buds when they were young. It was engraved in the deepest part of their DNA and memories, and it was also the best memory.

It was this kind of yearning that made Peng Yan put down his his resistance and break through his psychological barrier, allowing him to eat the entire bowl of Oil Doused Noodles.

A psychological illness.

It still had to rely on mental satisfaction to heal.

“Thank you, Xu Le!”

Peng Yan walked over and hugged Xu Le tightly as he spun around.

One could feel the joy in his heart from his expression.

An excellent dish should not be limited to filling one’s stomach. It should be able to satisfy and heal one’s soul.

All of a sudden, Xu Le heard a mechanical system notification.

[Mission: The stall cannot only have staple food!]

[Congratulations, host. Kung Pao Chicken has earned the customers’ satisfaction. You are rewarded with “Tomato Egg Soup Recipe”!]

[Reward has been issued!]

In his mind, information about cooking tomato egg soup instantly filled him.

In other words, the dishes that Xu Le could cook included one staple food, one main dish, and one soup.

“Xu Le, you’re too awesome!”

Peng Yan placed Xu Le on the bench and praised him continuously.

At the side, Li Jing patted his shoulder and said softly, “You are not allowed to curse in front of children!”

Peng Yan was in a good mood and nodded with a smile.

His anorexia was like a dark cloud that covered his heart. It had finally dissipated that day.

After the knot in his heart was resolved, coupled with medication, his anorexia should be relieved or even cured within a week.

“Xu Le, your Sichuan dish is really good. It tastes very good!”

“I’ve eaten a lot of Sichuan dishes in restaurants, but none of them are as good as yours. In fact, they’re far worse.”

“Of course!”
