The story begins in Food Wars, when Alice took him home.

Suddenly, the cattle stood up, walking upright, and a leather whip appeared on their hooves, constantly lashing at her.

Hot, intense, and with just the right amount of force, it aroused her deepest desires, and she even moved closer to him, indulging in the pleasure.

"Hehe, hehehe."

With a look of utter satisfaction on her face, Ma Mei made a strange sound. It took her a few seconds to realize what was happening. Just as she was about to continue commenting, her hand grabbed another large piece of beef tendon.

At this moment, silence is better than sound.

In just a few dozen seconds, most of the beef tendon in front of him had been gone. When the fat old man arrived, he saw Ma Mei with eyes as greedy as a wolf.

"This...this is such a terrifying dish!"

The plump old man muttered to himself, and under the watchful eyes of the chefs, he moved closer to Ma Mei and picked up a piece of braised beef with his chopsticks.

The abundance of collagen brought an extremely wonderful taste. The fat old man raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes.

So much meat and tendon, all braised until flavorful, yet not greasy at all?! He could easily eat five huge bowls of rice with it!

"What a brilliant dish! Then let me ask you, Bai Yuan, how does this stewed beef, so tender and flavorful, embody a vow of eternal love?"

In no time, the braised beef in the casserole in front of them was completely devoured by the two of them, who didn't want to leave even a drop of the sauce behind! This is the true charm of luminous cuisine!

Not wanting to waste a single drop of juice or water, they wanted to eat it all up!

"In my braised beef dish, the beef gradually becomes sticky and viscous during the braising process. This stickiness is not just a physical change, but also a metaphor for emotions."

It symbolizes the inseparable and closely connected emotional bond between lovers, which remains steadfast no matter how time passes.

This stickiness makes you feel, as if you're tasting it, a deep and enduring love, as unbreakable as a vow of eternal love!

Seeing the braised beef that had been completely devoured, Bai Yuan's lips curled up. He knew in his heart that he had the upper hand, and now it was time for the classic story-making segment!

"The length of time it is simmered is the best interpretation of the depth and purity of this love."

In this process, every minute and every second is crucial! They are not just the passage of time, but also the accumulation and sublimation of emotions.

Just as vows of eternal love need the test of time to grow stronger and deeper, so too does this braised beef. It requires a long and meticulous braising process to allow the beef, spices, and seasonings to fully meld, achieving a perfectly harmonious state.

After speaking, Bai Yuan stared straight at the two of them. The fat old man and Ma Mei nodded repeatedly, carefully savoring the meaning behind his words, and could indeed feel his sincerity.

But then again, how can you make a dish that glows without putting your heart into it?!

Ultimately, this inquiry was just a formality; whether it would pass or not, everyone already knew in their hearts, based on this luminous dish.

"Boom"

"Freelance chef Bai Yuan, qualified!"

They exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

Then, a clear gong sounded, and a powerful voice came from the fat old man, echoing throughout the competition venue and sending a shiver down everyone's spine.

"I didn't expect a qualified candidate to appear so quickly, that's amazing!"

"You're kidding, but it's a 'glowing' level dish! Only a five-star chef could cook it. Even in Guangzhou, that would be considered top-tier cuisine!"

"That's incredible! He doesn't look even 20 years old!"

"Oh my, how come there are such people participating in the master chef assessment this year? Everyone says that the Guangzhou master chef assessment is very prestigious, but no one told me it was this prestigious!"

Seeing Bai Yuan pass the test in just one hour, a heated discussion broke out on the scene, and everyone looked at him with envy.

To create luminous dishes at such a young age, if he goes even further in the future, he will become a top-tier master in the culinary world!

"To actually make a glowing dish in the top-level assessment, this kid truly has a limitless future!"

With the emergence of superhumans in Chengdu, Shanghai, Xiamen, and other cities, the culinary world is about to get even more exciting! A new golden age is about to begin!

Thinking back to Bai Yuan's Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash, he had guessed then that this guy was no ordinary person. But he never expected that this guy could actually make dishes that glow!

Even if it's just a coincidence, it's still at the level of a three-star chef. If it's not a coincidence, then this guy is really terrifying!

There are no more than 100 five-star chefs in all of China, scattered across every corner of the country, and it is impossible to see them on a normal day!

"Next, let's try Amu's Chaoshan beef balls from Chaoweifang!"

Ma Mei reluctantly looked away from the casserole and walked over to the Chaoshan beef balls made by Amu, but her heart was still longing for the taste of stewed beef.

It's worth noting that even though she's a two-star chef, she has only ever created one dish that reaches the "glowing" level.

Her brother is a bit more skilled; he can consistently produce two or three dishes a month, and he always calls her over to taste them.

And every time, she would drop everything and rush over, just to experience the taste of the glowing cuisine! And gain insights from it.

However, neither she nor her brother could create a dish of the luminous quality that was as good as the one in front of them.

Even among luminous dishes, there are differences in quality! The most obvious difference lies in the degree of radiation of their light.

A dish like Bai Yuan, which can light up an entire room, would undoubtedly be considered top-tier even among glowing dishes!

Damn it! I've had enough of this life where I'm worse off than my elders and worse off than my children!

"The texture is chewy and firm, the meat is delicate and tender, and the juices burst in your mouth with every bite! It's truly amazing!"

As the plump old man tasted Amu's dishes at Chaoweifang, he nodded and spoke, his voice slightly distorted because of the heat.

"The flavor is fresh and rich, fragrant but not greasy. Because of the limited amount of spices used, the original flavor is particularly prominent. It is truly authentic Chaoshan beef balls!"

Upon hearing the fat old man's voice, Ma Mei quickly adjusted her state and re-entered the judging mode, giving a serious evaluation.

"So, Amu from Chaoweifang, how does your cooking embody a vow of eternal love?"

The fat old man put down his chopsticks and looked at Iron Arm Amu with a serious expression. As long as the reason given was not too far-fetched, the dish would be approved once the taste was satisfactory!

"My cooking method has been refined through countless processes, making the meat firmer and more springy."

This insistence on and pursuit of quality is like the steadfastness and unyielding nature of a mountain, symbolizing the firmness and reliability of a promise, like a vow made in the mountains that will never be changed once it is made.

The broth inside the beef balls bursts open when you bite into them, bursting with rich, delicious flavor. Every bite is an ultimate temptation for your taste buds, leaving you wanting more.

The enduring and profound nature of this flavor is like a vow made by the sea; even as time goes by, the deep affection and promise remain fresh and new.

Combining these two elements creates a vow of eternal love!

This was astonishing! It was hard to imagine that the rugged-looking Amu could speak with such subtlety! Ma Mei looked at him in surprise, then nodded.

"Boom"

"Amu from Chaoweifang is qualified!"

As the gong sounded, Ma Mei loudly announced that he had passed the test, and the second spot was taken.

Seeing this, the chefs on site all showed signs of urgency and no longer paid attention to others, silently speeding up their cooking process.

The atmosphere became tense and oppressive once again!

Chapter 65 Dusk, the Millennium Arena of Flavors!

"I'm done! Please enjoy!"

Because the number of spots is decreasing.

Some people, worried that the spots would be snapped up, hurriedly finished cooking and came to Ma Mei and the fat old man with eager expressions on their faces.

Since the people before him are doing so well, he should be able to too! You know, he's quite well-known in Guangzhou!

However, the two people in front of them only took one bite before putting down their chopsticks.

"Not up to standard! If the taste doesn't meet the standard, it's useless no matter how closely the content fits the theme. This is a hard and fast rule."

I hope you'll take care of yourself and not let others influence you anymore. That's the worst thing a chef can do. Go and hone your skills for another year!

Seeing the bewildered expression on the man's face, the fat old man immediately sentenced him to death, saying that taste was more important than the theme of the dish!

If the taste of the dish does not reach the top level, then no matter how closely it fits the theme, it will absolutely not pass the assessment!

These are hard requirements!

"what!"

Upon hearing the fat old man's words, the man who had been anxiously presenting the dishes cried out in pain, then rushed out of the special-level assessment site without looking back.

This made everyone else on the scene feel a chill, and they silently reduced their speed to normal, seeking neither merit nor demerit.

At this moment, everyone understood that this was not a simple speed competition where whoever finished cooking the fastest would pass!

"Welcome to taste Diana Steak, a classic French dish with a century-old heritage, a symbol of the French people's vows of eternal love."

The French twins, having almost simultaneously finished cooking, brought their steaks to the two judges, one on each side, and spoke in slightly broken Chinese.

"Diana steak? That's a classic, a must-order steak for French couples on a date, it's definitely associated with vows of eternal love."

Ma Mei nodded. When she was young, she had studied in France for two years and had a boyfriend during that time.

During their relationship, he often took her to eat Diana steak and explained in detail what Diana steak represents in France.

She was touched for a while.

"Then let's begin to taste it."

The plump old man looked at the steak in front of him with a joyful expression. He was a meat lover and any kind of meat could excite him!

"This Maillard reaction is beautiful! It's done perfectly; the aroma reaches its peak in this state, which is the best possible condition!"

Excessive use can produce many harmful substances, and the aroma will be mixed with bitterness. Many Western chefs fail to get this right.

Before eating, he observed the steak's appearance. Looking at the perfect Maillard reaction on the steak, the plump old man couldn't help but nod, his eyes full of appreciation.

He had worked as a head chef abroad for 20 years, specializing in French cuisine, so he could naturally tell the quality of these two Diana steaks.

It absolutely reaches the top-tier standard of Western cuisine!

"The Diana steak, made from ribeye, is tender and juicy. Because of its moderate and evenly distributed fat content, it tastes both the freshness of beef and the rich flavor of fat."

The Diana steak, cut from the upper loin, has a relatively chewy texture, especially the outer connective tissue, which adds a unique layer of texture and a strong steak flavor.

The plump old man nodded as he compared the two cuts of meat, noting that each had its own merits, but he personally preferred the ribeye.

Furthermore, every Michelin-starred French restaurant uses only ribeye for its Diana steak.

Diana steak, cut from the upper loin, is often found in smaller restaurants because it's inexpensive and the meat tastes and feels quite good, so it has a market.

"There's nothing wrong with the taste, both of them are excellent, but do you really know what it means to use different cuts of meat in Diana Steak?"

Looking at the two obviously naive young men and women in front of her, Ma Mei opened her eyes after tasting the food, her voice tinged with a faint sadness.

"What's the difference between using different types of meat?"
