Today's match seemed to be more difficult than expected.

They were all aware of the contestant's abilities; he was absolutely outstanding among his peers. He would be qualified to be the head chef in any top restaurant.

However, the dishes she made were so bad that they didn't even deserve a second glance from Nakiri Managi!

This must be a huge blow to a contestant who aspires to become a top chef.

It will probably take a long time for me to calm down.

There was some restlessness in the audience:

"Managi-sama Nakiri is so strict!~"

"Nonsense, that's the Tongue of God! She's tasted dishes made by the world's top chefs, so there's no dish in the world that can amaze her!"

"An 8.8 score would be enough to put you in the top five in the first three rounds, but in the finals, it seems a bit far from being a champion."

"It can only be said that the level of competition in this tournament is extraordinary!"

"I wonder what kind of work the Great Demon King will finally produce?"

"I'm still more looking forward to Erina Nakiri, the new generation of God Tongue. I wonder if she can impress the older generation of God Tongue with her work?"

"It's probably a bit risky. Lin Youshu's previous chicken bean curd was so good that even God Tongue had to admit defeat!"

"I've said it countless times, Lady Nakiri only acknowledges that her opponent is very strong, but she wasn't defeated by him!"

"Come on, I really don't believe that the God Tongue can surpass the Great Demon King!"

"..."

Next, several more contestants handed in their papers.

Learning from the first contestant's experience, the subsequent contestants made sure they had given their all before submitting their work.

Grilled beef and asparagus rolls, 8.9 points.

The yuzu hot pot with salmon roe also received a score of 8.9.

Foie gras and sesame tofu, 9/10!

This is the first dish to score 9 points in the finals~32410!

But it's a pity.

These three typical Japanese dishes also failed to impress Nakiri Managi; she simply smelled them and shook her head in refusal.

It seems there's nothing that catches her eye.

Her presence seemed unrelated to the competition.

This was quite a blow to the three contestants.

I was just laughing at the first contestant, but now it's my turn, and I'm devastated.

If viewers didn't know Nakiri Managi's true identity, they would have suspected that this woman was deliberately causing trouble.

Is it really fair to the contestants that they won't even try such high-end and exquisite ingredients?

Some people couldn't help but complain: "Even just trying it politely and then giving a comment would be fine. What can you possibly detect by just smelling it without doing anything?"

These are the opinions of ordinary people.

Those who truly understand Nakiri Managi know that it's not that she doesn't want to eat, but that she genuinely can't.

She was thoroughly fed up with these mediocre dishes!

There are many foods in the world that are far more delicious than what she sees, yet none of them can satisfy her, let alone what she has in front of her.

To actually eat these foods would be an insult to the tongue of God!

So she'd rather not eat it!

……

The fifth contestant's dish was Ise lobster and matsutake mushroom soup.

This is a typical Japanese kaiseki dish, which appeared at the banquet when Tennoh Black Card was inaugurated.

The work was very well-made, and after tasting it, the judges gave it a high score of 9.1.

This is the highest score among the finalists so far, which immediately caused a stir.

Unfortunately, he still failed to gain Nakiri Managi's approval, which means he missed out on the championship.

Ranking sixth is Erina Nakiri.

Her completion speed was not slow.

The dish is French lobster with asparagus soup.

Both dishes use lobster as the main ingredient, but employ different cooking methods.

This is a classic high-end French dish.

Lobster and asparagus are both common ingredients in French cuisine, and their combination is surprisingly harmonious. The lobster's sweet and springy texture, the asparagus's crisp and tender flavor, and the rich and smooth broth make this a truly delicious and visually appealing dish!

Erina Nakiri is skilled at preparing luxury cuisine, and handling high-end ingredients like lobster is a piece of cake for her. The main issue was the large quantity she was preparing today; it took her a considerable amount of time to prepare the dish for thirteen judges.

When she announced the completion of her work, and the staff helped present the twelve plates to the judges, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.

0 ········ ········

Including Lin Youshu.

Although I noticed the creation process of Erina Nakiri earlier, I still want to see what other people think.

The audience is the most eagerly anticipating it.

"Look! It's Erina Nakiri, the top student from Totsuki Academy!"

"The wait is finally here!"

Wow, this looks really good, it's sure to get a high score!

"Lobster with asparagus soup? I've learned how to make this dish before, and her finished product is flawless in appearance alone! I just wonder how it tastes!"

"Products made by God's Tongue must taste almost the same!"

"..."

The contestants who were already seated in the rest area also had solemn expressions, looking forward to Erina Nakiri's performance.

. thirty ...

In front of the judges' panel.

Erina Nakiri, unusually, restrained her usual arrogance and revealed a rare humble side.

"French lobster with asparagus soup, please enjoy!"

The judges did not hesitate, because the dish in front of them, both in appearance and aroma, successfully whetted their appetites.

It was even more intense than the previous dishes!

White-bearded Sato first spotted a small piece of lobster meat, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up instantly.

He exclaimed, "It's the same lobster, but compared to the Ise lobster from before, this one is unexpectedly springy and tender, with a perfect flavor. The original taste isn't masked by the spices, making it feel like the cool breeze that greets you on a hot summer day at a seaside resort. It's simply the ultimate enjoyment!"

The handsome older gentleman next to me couldn't help but exclaim, "The refreshing taste of asparagus blends perfectly with the lobster, creating a flawless balance between meat and vegetables. It's like lying on a beach chair under a parasol, enjoying a delicious bite of watermelon..."

"The soup has a rich, smooth texture and can be described as excellent!"

"..."

Such comments made Erina Nakiri secretly relax.

From this perspective, she still has a good chance!

however,

Nakiri Managi looked at the lobster and asparagus soup in front of her, her eyes filled with undisguised disappointment.

"Is this all the result of your studies at Totsuki?"

Upon hearing this, the judges, who were still tasting the food, were stunned.

Erina Nakiri was stunned.

The contestants and audience members were equally stunned.

Chapter 74 Nakiri Erina Suffers a Cruel Blow

In full view.

Nakiri Managi said indifferently, "You have too much faith in your sense of taste and rely on it too much. Before you have seen more delicious food, you think that the food you have tasted is the most delicious in the world. I can only say that you are too naive."

"This dish is indeed very good. The springy and fresh lobster and the crisp and tender asparagus are both preserved in their original flavors. Under your cooking, the two have achieved a synergistic effect that is greater than the sum of their parts. However, it is only good, not enough to satisfy me. I hope that next time we meet, you can bring me a dish of even higher quality."

How could this be? !

Erina Nakiri was struck by lightning, her eyes filled with blankness.

She clearly felt that the food she made was impeccable, so why didn't she even have the right to be tasted by her mother?

impossible!

It shouldn’t be!

She also possesses the "God Tongue" of "697," and only dared to present it because she had tasted it and felt that the flavor was impeccable.

The other judges were very satisfied, but her mother criticized her harshly.

Is this the difference between the two?

Does this mean I should try and learn more about different cuisines to broaden my horizons so that I can make even more delicious food?

She couldn't quite accept it.

I felt so upset, as if a huge stone was pressing on my heart.

After so many years of hard work, I thought I was proud enough, but I was rejected like this.

And the one who rejected her was her own mother!

This feels awful.

The judges who had just been praising the dish now looked a little stiff.
