Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

The large group of people arrived at Su Family Island.

"Gao Yang, Su Wanqing, I want to see just how capable your Su family is, using wild animals as food and still managing to escape capture."

Kawasaki Yuki's voice was incredibly loud, and even though she was being held captive by two police officers, she showed no sign of giving up.

In her view, the best ingredients should come from the wild, whether it is meat or fish, and farmed ones are not as good as wild ones.

Now that he's finished, he absolutely can't let Gao Yang get away with it.

Along the way, her voice has attracted many people.

"What? The Su family also uses wild animals?"

"Isn't that illegal? What is the Su family thinking?"

"We have no idea about this; it has nothing to do with us."

One by one, the guests stood up, looking at the meat on their plates with complicated expressions.

On the one hand, it really tastes good; on the other hand, I'm really afraid of getting involved.

After much deliberation, they followed the police to the kitchen of Su's island.

"Gao Yang, I'd like to see what kind of ingredients you're using."

Kawasaki Yuki looked just like Sadako from Japan, with her hair down and her kimono disheveled.

"Hey, isn't that Ms. Kawasaki?"

A sharp-eyed customer noticed that Kawasaki Yuki was being escorted by two police officers.

Why was she arrested?

"Do you think they use wild animals?"

"That can't be right. I ate over there. They won't arrest me, will they?"

At this moment, all the guests were so nervous that they were sweating profusely.

They are all big bosses, each with considerable wealth, and with a long future ahead of them, they naturally don't want to stumble on something like this.

They stared intently at the kitchen door, their hearts pounding in their chests, filled with regret, questioning themselves about why they had been so greedy, wishing they could slap themselves.

"Chef Gao, CEO Su, are you really using wild animals?"

The media, sensing the front-page news, rushed to the scene, aiming their cameras and microphones at Gao Yang.

From the moment Kawasaki Yuki was arrested until now, a mere fifteen minutes have passed, and Su Family Island is now packed with people, all eagerly looking towards the kitchen.

Gao Yang smiled faintly.

"Since everyone is so interested in this, as the person in charge of Su Family Island, I will naturally reveal the secret to you."

He looked at everyone present, then forcefully lifted the kitchen door, which slammed open in front of them.

"Click-clack-click-clack".

The sound of camera shutters echoed throughout the venue, spotlights flashed, and the gasps of the crowd reached Kawasaki Yuki's ears without missing a single word.

"See, Gao Yang, you and I are the same kind of people. You also use wild animals as ingredients."

She blurted out those words unconsciously, but her eyes were fixed on Gao Yang.

Gao Yang was also looking at her.

"Take another look."

Looking at Gao Yang's confident expression, Kawasaki Yuki felt a bad premonition rising in her heart.

She turned to look at the kitchen and froze in place.

The kitchen was spotless and staffed with many people, all working efficiently. If any seasoning or broth was spilled, someone would immediately wipe it up.

"This is...this is too clean."

"Exactly, where else can you find such a clean kitchen?"

These journalists spend years traveling to various restaurants, and they are used to the dirty and chaotic kitchens.

Seeing such a clean kitchen all of a sudden felt a little strange.

"It's so clean, how can you use wild animals to do illegal things?"

Someone asked the question, and everyone fell silent.

Yes, it's so clean, you can tell they've put in a lot of effort. Why would they do something illegal and ruin their reputation?

Kawasaki Yuki's face froze instantly, then she thought about it again.

"No, the cleanliness of the kitchen has nothing to do with the ingredients. You must have hidden the ingredients."

Her words struck like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's hearts.

Yes, what does the cleanliness of the kitchen have to do with the ingredients?

Everyone immediately peered over, not missing a single corner of the kitchen.

Gao Yang had, of course, thought of this as well.

"Please don't worry, everyone. I know you've all tasted our dishes and are curious about how we get these top-quality ingredients."

"Today I'll show you our family's real trump card."

Having said that, he walked forward.

A group of reporters followed him, taking pictures as they went.

"What is that?!"

One of the reporters exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked over.

In the far corner of the kitchen, there was a giant storage cabinet with rows of meat inside.

Some of the meat had a dark, black surface, like old tree bark; some were covered with a thick layer of butter; and some were sealed in bags.

"What is this?"

"Do these things really look edible?"

All the reporters had the same question on their minds.

Gao Yang had his back to them, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

Now, the time is ripe.

"Everyone, this is a unique maturation technology of our Su family."

He took a dry-aged steak and weighed it in his hand.

"Like this piece, it looks like tree bark, and I'm sure many people are wondering if it's edible?"

"But actually, the steaks you eat on Sujia Island, those with rich flavors and more prominent tastes, are made from these."

"This is called the maturation process, which is our Su family's latest technology."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of composure and certainty.

After saying that, Gao Yang took out a knife and suddenly exerted force in his hand.

Everyone present held their breath, their eyes fixed on the steak in his hand.

The camera shutter kept clicking, as if afraid of missing any detail.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can such tree bark compare to my top-grade ingredients?"

Kawasaki Yuki muttered to herself.

This time, however, no one paid any attention to her.

Everyone looked at Gao Yang nervously.

Gao Yang didn't hide anything and gently peeled off the skin of the steak.

The inside and the outside of this steak are completely different.

Its interior is reddish and glossy, with strands of milky white oil crisscrossing like silver threads.

It has lost some moisture and looks a little wilted, but its aroma can still be smelled from afar.

Everyone present swallowed hard, stunned and speechless.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "This is dry aging. It uses temperature and humidity, and the meat's own active enzymes break it down to remove excess blood and sour taste, while completely concentrating the meat's own aroma."

"This is an aging cabinet that I spent a lot of money to build, and it's a piece of work that I put a lot of thought into. My goal is to use ordinary ingredients to surpass your so-called top-quality ingredients."

"This is the essence of cooking."

Gao Yang looked at Kawasaki Yuki.

"Ms. Kawasaki, do you still think I'm using wild animals and doing something illegal?"

Do you still think that culinary skills are worthless in the face of top-quality ingredients?
