Like the spring breeze blowing in the wilderness, like the gurgling living water in the desert, a silent warm current emerges from the heart spring, warming the heart that has been dry for a long time.

Ann's eyes moistened all of a sudden, and her expression gradually became calm and gentle, as if she was lying in her mother's arms at this time.

It's the taste of mom, a familiar feeling that has not been seen for a long time.

Obviously sensibly reminded Ann that this could never be her mother's cooking, she should be reviewing a student's work at this time, but at this time she was no longer able to control her inner emotions, and the feelings that had been suppressed for a long time on weekdays were like a Pandora's box that had been opened, surging out, making her fall into an uncontrollable state for a while.

Don't look at the senior executive of the food association on weekdays, he will be treated as a guest wherever he goes, majestic, and powerful, but in fact, this is a hard job.

The Gastronomy Association is an international organization whose remit covers almost all countries on the planet except for the closed state of China, so as the ambassadors of the association, the executives are faced with endless business trips and endless overtime.

The so-called holidays do not exist. Anyway, it's impossible to take a holiday, it's impossible in this life, and I can only barely make a living by going to work on weekdays.

Ann can't remember the last time she went home to spend time with her mother, maybe maybe a year ago, and that time it was because she happened to be on a business trip not far from home, so she hurriedly had a meal with her mother, and then went to work non-stop.

Although she is still in constant contact with her mother on weekdays, the communication on the phone is a little less feeling after all, and the long-term separation even makes her feel that the relationship between her and her mother has become a little rusty, and the topics that the two can talk about on the phone on weekdays seem to be getting less and less, and the exchange of phone calls that were originally used to contact feelings has now become a regular daily task.

Although you only look at Ann's appearance and temperament, you will think that she is a lazy woman, after all, she gives people the feeling of "I can't lift the energy", but she is actually a genuine strong woman, the kind of dedication that is very ambitious, and the reason why she looks lazy is actually just because she is a little overworked.

The gastronomic association is a highly competitive place, and if you don't work hard, there is only one end, that is, being overtaken by the latecomers, and then being ruthlessly trampled under your feet and eliminated. An was able to become the highest-ranking first-class executive officer at a young age, relying on that ruthlessness that worked harder than everyone else.

She's a real workaholic.

And for a workaholic, wasting time or something is absolutely unforgivable, so now she is becoming more and more perfunctory about her mother's phone calls, and she has gradually felt that this is a meaningless activity that wastes time.

Now she often dials the phone, and before her mother has time to say a word, she hurriedly calls "Well, ah, oh, I see" Silian coped with it, and then hung up the phone in a hurry and continued to devote herself to endless work.

After all, what did she work so hard for? Where did her ruthlessness come from, who would rather risk overwork than be eliminated? No, what did she join the Food Association to become an executive officer in the first place?

Ann hadn't thought about these questions for a long time, and she was too busy to think about them.

But now, in this strange, stable and peaceful atmosphere, it seems that I have fallen into the peace of the sage's time and reflected on these questions for a long time.

For the sake of power, then she is now a first-class executive who is powerful enough, even in the Gastronomy Association, a senior executive like her is the highest level outside of the legendary Council of Sages.

Well, desperate overtime is rewarded, and her salary and appearance fee are already astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people.

For the ideal? hmm.......

Ann was silent, she seemed to be really for the ideal, but this ideal was not a lofty ideal like "I am a woman who wants to become a sage of the Food Association", and her original purpose of joining the Food Association was quite pure.

...........

"Mom, what is this house for, it's so big and beautiful. ”

The young girl once asked by holding her mother's finger at the tall and majestic building.

"It's a gastronomic association, a place where some of the best flavors in the world are hidden. ”

The mother explained softly to the girl.

"Then Mom, can I enter this big house when I grow up, I want to take my mother to eat a lot of delicious food. ”

The little girl said wistfully, wiping the saliva that had been left behind as she spoke.

"Mmmm, my family is the best, Mom is looking forward to it. ”

Mother's gentle encouragement echoed in my ears, and this moment felt like yesterday.

............

The eyes that had been moist for a long time finally missed at this moment, tears rained down, Ann choked uncontrollably, she kept wiping her tears with the sleeves of her dress, but she couldn't finish wiping them.

She has been moving towards that childhood dream, but she got lost in the way of chasing her dream at some point, obviously climbing the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but in the end because of the steepness and difficulty of the mountain road, she didn't want to see the scenery along the way.

In order not to fall off the mountain, she had already used all her strength.

On the road of competition where you slack off and you will be overtaken by others, she gradually buried all her longings and original intentions in her heart, and kept saying to herself, "Don't be greedy for temporary pleasure, only the happiness after reaching the top is long-lasting, and I will bring my mother when I stand firm."

As a result, now, the mountains have been turned over one after another, but the original intention has been buried deeper and deeper, so deep that she has forgotten that she has buried things in the past.

What did I do?

Feelings of remorse, shame and so on suddenly came to my heart, my nose was sore, and Anna's swollen eyes became even redder from crying.

In fact, this first-class executive who has already tasted most of the delicious food in the world has a sentence in his heart that he has wanted to say for a long time.

That is....

"Mom, in fact, the food you make is the best in the world. ”

This is not a lie, but a fact, because only the person who gave birth to you and raised you knows you best, knows your tastes best, and only that person's cuisine is tailor-made for you.

Mother's craftsmanship is the child's ideal taste.

"I'll take a leave of absence after the game, Mom, wait for me. ”

An made up his mind in his heart.

And on both sides of her, the two macho partners also picked up the spoon at this moment, and then....

The macho man .jpg in tears

Ignoring the two companions who hugged their heads and cried for their mother, Ann moved her gaze to the inconspicuous blue-haired girl not far away, with gratitude and appreciation in her eyes.

"Can you tell me your name?"

Although she had known the name of the contestant for a long time, Ann asked again.

She wanted to hear this rustic, inconspicuous girl say her name herself, and then take it to heart.

This girl is an absolute treasure, and her future is absolutely limitless.

Anxin was extremely sure that, in a sense, this girl's talent might be rarer and more terrifying than the tongue of the god of the proud girl of Erina Nagiri.

After all, the Tongue of God doesn't have the ability to make her, a first-level executive, cry and call Mom, and in the future, the ghost knows how many cheap children this girl will have.

"Megumi Tanaso, my name is Megumi Tanso. ”

The blue-haired girl was a little nervous by the judge's sudden question, and after a lot of scrambling, she finally mustered up the courage, raised her head, looked directly into Ann's eyes, and said her name seriously.
