Every second and every frame captivated the hearts of the athletes on site and the millions of viewers watching the live broadcast on television.
……
Amidst much anticipation.
The judges finally reached out and lifted the lid of the earthenware pot.
Instantly, an extremely rich aroma, accompanied by steaming hot mist, spread out in all directions.
"Wow, this fragrance...it's amazing!"
The judges were the first to notice the aroma, and they were all horrified.
Because this aroma, although strong, does not feel greasy, and even has a hint of fresh vegetable and fruit fragrance.
Tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, onions, mushrooms...
The aromas of these materials blend together to create a new and unique fragrance, perfectly harmonious!
"Kid, I remember you didn't use your secret seasoning oil this time, did you?"
Sato, with his white beard, asked curiously.
Lin Youshu nodded: "Although the seasoned oil is fragrant, it will ruin the original aroma of this dish, so we will not use it."
The meticulous, handsome older man said, "The unique aroma of the beef is so pure and natural, it really whets the appetite. Eating this dish in winter would be so comforting!"
Another judge chuckled and chimed in, "That's right, but good food is suitable for any season as long as it tastes good."
"Indeed, I was narrow-minded."
"..."
The aroma spread in all directions, and when it reached the players' rest area, everyone couldn't sit still.
Wrong day!
What is this ghost?
The contestants were shocked by the overwhelming aroma and couldn't help but drool.
"This is outrageous! How did they manage to create this fragrance?"
"I don't think he used any special fragrances, so how can it be so strong?"
"I saw him put the ingredients and spices in with my own eyes; they were all very ordinary kinds. I just don't understand!"
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat..."
"Damn, I feel like it's going to be another perfect score."
"I'm convinced. I have to admit it. The difference is too great and cannot be explained by common sense."
"..."
Erina Nakiri stood in the passageway between the backstage and the venue, smelling the aroma wafting from not far away, and secretly drooled as well.
Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, that guy does have some real skills in cooking.
"However, you think you can snatch the championship from me with this? I'm afraid it's not enough!"
Lin Youshu's appearance successfully aroused her competitive spirit, and she decided to give it her all in tomorrow's final to compete with her opponent and make Lin Youshu admit defeat wholeheartedly!
There can only be one true goddess in a food paradise, and that is her, Erina Nakiri!
The most upset are the viewers in front of their screens.
I could only experience the scene through the camera lens. Seeing everyone in the venue looking shocked and making various movements like sniffing the aroma and swallowing their saliva made me even more eager to try it.
"It would be great to be able to experience it up close in person."
Countless people have had this thought.
Touma Kazusa changed her posture today, leaning against the sofa armrest and lying on her side, looking languid, and she wasn't too worried about Hayashi Yuuki's grades.
Based on my observations over the past two days, there really isn't anyone who can be considered his match.
I watched the live stream simply because I wanted to follow it.
In contrast, Setsuna seemed a little nervous.
Only when Lin Youshu finally finished submitting his work did he breathe a sigh of relief, and then he felt secretly pleased when he saw the judges' shocked expressions.
After all, she was someone who got to eat Lin Youshu's cooking every day.
but……
She'd never tried braised beef in a pot before.
"Let's ask Lin Jun next time and see if he's willing to do it."
Xuecai was a little hesitant, after all, this dish looked complicated, and Lin Youshu might not be willing to do it.
At worst...
……
“Try them all!”
As soon as the square-faced old man spoke, the others couldn't wait to start eating.
White-bearded Sato used chopsticks to pick up a steaming piece of beef from the small earthenware pot.
The beef, coated in a sauce that seemed to have a faint sheen, exuded an irresistible aroma as it was eaten. The camera panned across the screen, making the contestants and audience feel their appetites increase.
Mom!
This looks delicious!
The dish is good in color, aroma, and taste; the first two stages are already passed without any problems.
0 ·······0 ·········
Although this dish isn't the kind that wins with its exquisite appearance, it's absolutely perfect in terms of details. Just look at the sauce; among all of us here, few would dare say they could make it the same color.
Vibrant colors aren't just defined by exaggerated and eye-catching designs.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the judges unanimously put the beef into their mouths.
When the taste buds on your tongue touch the sauce and your mouth is enveloped by the beef belly, you instantly feel an intense sense of happiness!
"hiss……"
This feeling,
Similar to my previous experiences with braised cabbage with scallops and chicken tofu, it was incredibly satisfying, from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
The difference is that this time the feeling is much stronger!
Yes!
Even stronger than chicken tofu!
The feeling of tearing and biting through the beef with your teeth is indescribable!
... ..... .......
"This brings out the best in meat!"
Sato stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
This bite reminded him of something from a long, long time ago.
He was born in Japan in the 50s, a time when the country had just ended the war, the economy had collapsed, the government had a serious fiscal deficit, and the government called on its citizens to support themselves. Many people had to go to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables to survive.
Normally, it's already a blessing if everyone in the family has something to eat; being full is a luxury, and eating meat is something unimaginable.
One day, his father suddenly ran back from outside and secretly threw a small piece of meat into the pot.
It was a piece of rabbit meat, and not a very good part at that.
However, for Sato, who had never eaten meat before, it was a heavenly delicacy.
The family enjoyed the happiest meal in nearly ten years with just a piece of rabbit meat less than two fingers in size.
More than fifty years later, Sato still remembers the taste of that small piece of meat. The cooking method was very rough, even awful, yet in his memory, it tasted so delicious.
Because that taste is called happiness!
It is the deepest, most instinctive human desire for food, especially meat!
Faced with such a strong craving, even if the food doesn't taste very good, it will still feel delicious and satisfying.
Moreover, the braised beef in a pot that Lin Youshu made was not bad at all; in fact, it was extremely delicious.
With such a double boost, the resulting sense of happiness is self-evident!
This is what Sato finds amazing about this braised beef in a pot!
Why can it evoke that deep-seated, intense craving for food in people?
(I'm in a really bad mood today, my typing efficiency is so low.) 9.
Chapter Sixty-Four: Have the Judges Gone Mad?
"It's weird!"
Sato clearly sensed that something was wrong.
"I had already tasted so many dishes, so my sense of taste should not be so sensitive anymore, and my stomach should not be so hungry. However, in front of this dish, the taste went straight to the depths of my soul. I could not feel any so-called fullness at all, and I only had the thought of wanting to eat!"
It's outrageous!
Sato has lived for over sixty years and has never seen anything so outrageous!
Actually, it wasn't just Sato; it was the same for everyone else!
Every judge who tasted the dish was astonished, their eyes wide with surprise; the shock was even more intense than before.
"How did he do that?"
"I feel like I could easily finish the whole can, but I didn't have much of an appetite just now."
"It reminds me of the days when we didn't have enough to eat. It was so good to have something to eat, let alone '593' meat... Mmm, it smells so good! It's delicious!"
"I suddenly miss my mom's stewed meat. Although the taste is just average, the meat is so delicious."
