"It feels so fake!"
"I don't believe you, unless I get a taste!"
"..."
……
"No, look!"
Nakiri Managi suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
The peony carved from a cabbage on the plate looked even more vibrant after absorbing the clear broth. A gentle breeze blew, and the petals swayed softly, making it seem just like a real peony!
Everyone was stunned once again upon seeing this!
What the hell?
How could this happen?
Isn't this just replacing peonies with cabbages?
Many people subconsciously rub their eyes, wondering if they are seeing things.
"How on earth did he do that?!"
At this moment, everyone has only one question on their mind.
Lin Youshu, the instigator, put down the iron spoon and let out a long sigh.
This time-consuming and laborious dish of boiled cabbage in clear broth is finally finished!
"Awaited!"
Thirteen servings of boiled cabbage shaped like peonies were presented to the judges with the help of the staff.
The high-definition camera projected every detail of the dish onto the screen, allowing everyone to see it clearly.
"It really does look like a peony..."
"This level of knife skill is simply terrifying!"
"I still can't understand how he managed to carve the cabbage into a peony, keeping it in the bud stage until it bloomed after being drizzled with clear broth."
"If you can figure that out, you'll be a master too."
"After absorbing the clear broth, the cabbage looked even more realistic, like it had special effects added. I was stunned."
"Coach, I want to learn this!"
"Get out! I can't even do that!"
"..."
In the audience, the eliminated contestants whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Lin Youshu.
At this moment, no matter how dissatisfied they were with Lin Youshu before, they could not deny that his cooking skills were indeed beyond their reach.
The gap in talent between the two sides is so large that it cannot be bridged by time; all that remains is to look up to them.
……
"Senior Lin!!!"
Tadokoro Megumi was so excited that her face was flushed and her eyes were sparkling. She almost couldn't help but shout out loud.
Lin Youshu's actions taught her a lesson.
I never knew a dish could be made to this extent!
This is no longer just food; it's practically a work of art.
She even wondered if she would be reluctant to eat such an exquisitely beautiful dish if she were sitting on the judges' panel.
The finalists in the rest area were experiencing a mix of emotions.
On the one hand, there is a feeling of discouragement and dejection from failure;
On the other hand, he was shocked by Lin Youshu's strength, which far exceeded his imagination.
Furthermore, I feel honored to have witnessed the creation of such an amazing dish in my lifetime.
Furthermore, witnessing the rise of a new generation of culinary legends fills me with subconscious reverence!
No one can help but admire the strong!
Moreover, their relationship with Lin Youshu is just that of ordinary competitors, far from being mortal enemies. All the tense atmosphere is just hype created by the media and the organizers.
Faced with such a formidable opponent, the players present had nothing to say but admiration.
Because they knew that the gap between themselves and Lin Youshu was too great, and they probably wouldn't be able to catch up in their lifetime, let alone surpass him.
Once I accepted this idea, I instantly calmed down.
All that's left is amazement at the boiled cabbage in clear broth!
Only Erina Nakiri...
Although she was very reluctant to admit it, the facts were undeniable.
Lin Youshu's knife skills, cooking time, and seasoning are far superior to hers, and she, as the so-called chief of Totsuki Academy, cannot compare.
This blow was devastating for her, who had always been proud and arrogant.
It turns out that among her peers, there are not only those who are stronger than her, but those who are much stronger!
For a moment, I was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
……
"Is this what boiled cabbage in clear broth is?"
"Nagi asked softly."
In reality, she was far less calm inside than she appeared on the surface.
The dish in front of her actually managed to rekindle her appetite, which had been dormant for many years!
It's amazing!
If it weren't for seeing the peony bloom when the clear broth was poured over it, the presentation of this dish wouldn't be considered particularly outstanding, and the aroma wouldn't be very strong either.
However, the smell unexpectedly triggered a strong urge to eat.
Nakiri Managi was shocked.
She had forgotten how many years it had been since she had felt this way.
If even WGO Special 203 and other executives behaved this way, the other judges performed even worse.
They stared wide-eyed at the plate in front of them, examining the white peony carved from a cabbage inside and out, questioning their existence more and more with each look.
"Is this really something that can be done with just a kitchen knife?"
“Every petal is so natural. If it weren’t for the unique veins of the cabbage, I would have suspected that it had been secretly replaced with a peony.”
"Kid, is this really the boiled cabbage I know?"
"..."
Lin Youshu nodded: "Yes, this is boiled cabbage in clear broth. Of course, I made a small change, and perhaps I can give it a nicer name. I call it 'Jade Elixir White Peony'."
Ambrosia and jade nectar, white peony?
The judges' eyes lit up.
Look at the color of this clear soup, look at the shape of this cabbage...
Isn't that just fine wine and white peony?
"This name is well chosen; it has a much more poetic feel than 'boiled cabbage in clear broth'."
If someone who doesn't know any better heard "boiled cabbage in boiling water," they would really think it's just cabbage that's been scalded with boiling water.
"Don't laugh at me, but the first time I ate this dish was when an old friend treated me. At the time, I really thought he was stingy for treating me to such a casual dish."
"Alright, alright, stop talking, can we start eating now? I can't wait any longer!"
"Look at your potential."
"Hey, how dare you say that to me? Wipe your drool before you speak!"
"..."
(Since I couldn't find a peony, I'll have to make do with a lotus.)
Chapter 76 Nakiri Managi's Approval!
“Please enjoy!”
Lin Youshu gave a slight nod.
The judges could no longer contain themselves and began to act.
Some people choose to drink the soup first, while others choose to eat the vegetables first.
Sato with the white beard was the one who chose to drink the soup.
He was deeply impressed by Lin Youshu's premium clear broth, and the chicken tofu he made last time was unforgettable!
Say it again!
Leave some anticipation for the cabbage and eat it later; you might be pleasantly surprised!
"It tastes just like before!"
The moment the clear broth touched my lips, a magical and intense feeling of happiness welled up from the bottom of my heart.
A satisfied smile appeared on Sato's face, making one feel...
A bit obscene.
However, longtime viewers know that this is the characteristic of Lin Youshu's dishes, which truly conquered the judges' taste buds with their flavor!
Other contestants, including Erina Nakiri, haven't been able to achieve this yet!
Sato gulped down the clear soup, slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of regret appeared in them.
That fleeting feeling of happiness reminded him of the time twenty years ago when he was at the height of his success.
