Crossover Anime: Starting with a Fusion of Master Chef, a Top-Tier Master Chef

The others were speechless upon hearing this.

We'd all forgotten about it if we hadn't mentioned it.

For everyone here, mastering even one cuisine is already difficult. We may have some knowledge of other cuisines, which can serve as lessons, but to truly grasp the essence of two completely different cuisines…

That's something only a very ordinary person could do!

and so--

"Where did that kid learn his cooking skills from?!"

(My sleep schedule is completely messed up, I overslept...)

Chapter 71 The Tit-for-Tit Before the Official Beginning

In addition to the judges and audience at the scene, viewers in front of their televisions were also paying attention to Lin Youshu.

There's nothing we can do about it; he performed so brilliantly earlier.

A perfect score in all three rounds—it's impossible not to remember that!

Many viewers only recognized his face and had little impression of the other contestants.

So, being handsome does have its advantages.

Touma, as always, curled up on the sofa.

"If it tastes good, we'll ask him when he gets back if we can make it at home."

She really liked the dishes I made before.

However, thinking of Lin Youshu's bitter expression, Touma couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile.

Hmph, you got so close to other girls! I won't forgive you so easily!

the other side.

Yukina was also nervously watching the screen, silently cheering herself on: "Go, Rin-kun! You can definitely win the championship!"

Although she had a lot of confidence in Hayashi Yuuki, this was the final round after all, and she had done some research and felt that Nakiri Erina, who had the title of "God Tongue," was quite strong.

It's best to be cautious.

Away from the competition, she could only cheer for Lin Youshu through prayer.

In the enormous hotel restaurant, only Kasumigaoka Utaha remained.

I was so busy looking at the screen that I barely ate any breakfast.

When she heard the host introduce Lin Youshu and hear that he had achieved a perfect score in all three rounds of the elimination rounds, she was extremely astonished.

"That guy... is that good?!"

I thought he was at most a talented culinary genius, but I never expected him to make it to the finals of a national culinary competition and be a top favorite to win.

This made Kasumigaoka Utaha even more interested in him.

I didn't expect that guy to have so many secrets.

……

After waiting for about an hour, the materials needed by the contestants were finally arranged.

The match is about to begin!

Eleven contestants, guided by staff, prepared to head to the competition area.

Erina Nakiri, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and said coldly to Yuuki Hayashi, "I will not lose to a commoner like you!"

Upon hearing this, all the other contestants turned to look at the two of them.

It felt like something called aura or presence suddenly erupted between the two of them, causing them to instinctively step back.

hiss--

Is this the aura of a strong person?

Lin Youshu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and replied, "Then let's wait and see!"

The young lady from high society is as arrogant as ever.

Commoners and such...

Well, only in this godforsaken society of Japan do these feudal remnants still exist.

The brilliance of God's Tongue lies in its ability to identify delicious food, not in its ability to cook.

Not at all!

Besides, compared to him, Erina Nakiri is still too inexperienced. She's just a young girl whose theory is better than her practice. What's there to worry about?

Faced with Lin Youshu's nonchalant response, Nakiri Erina clenched her fists secretly, gave a soft snort, tossed her long golden hair, and ignored him, walking towards her designated match position.

The exchange of glances between the two, this minor pre-match conflict, was successfully captured by the camera and projected onto the big screen, instantly boosting everyone's spirits.

"I'm coming!"

"The Great Demon King VS God Tongue, the exciting show is about to begin!"

"Fight, fight!"

"Go, Nakiri-sama! Our Totsuki is the strongest!"

"I can accept anyone else as long as it's not Hayashi Yushu who wins. Chinese cuisine is simply not worthy of being compared to Japanese cuisine!"

"Go for it! Defeat the Great Demon King and win the championship!"

"Lin-san, don't let me down! I bet 10,000 yen on you to win!"

"..."

Lin Youshu, one of the parties involved, did not take the little incident to heart.

To him, everyone is the same.

Anyone who stands in his way will only meet one fate...

Put on the chef's uniform, arrange all kinds of utensils on the counter, and then start counting all the ingredients.

The camera focuses on Lin Youshu, showing the audience everything in front of him.

On the judges' bench.

The judges were all stunned when they saw the various ingredients on the cutting board:

"This material... why does it look so familiar?"

"I think these were the same ingredients when I made chicken tofu pudding last time, right?"

"Is he planning to make the same dish twice?"

"That's unlikely, that's not like him!"

"It should be a dish with a similar preparation method, or a step in it that requires the use of clear broth."

"Yeah, I think so too. If we still make chicken tofu pudding, it'll taste good, but it'll lack that wow factor."

"The chicken tofu tastes really good, but I don't know if I'll have the chance to eat it again in the future."

"..."

Not only the judges, but also the audience members were whispering among themselves.

At first, everyone thought Lin Youshu was going to make chicken tofu again, but then they thought it was unlikely.

How could I possibly make such a basic mistake!

But they couldn't guess what dish it was going to be.

I immediately felt a strong urge to try it, and my curiosity was instantly piqued!

……

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Youshu began.

First, prepare the ingredients for making the clear broth!

It is said that chicken soup is not fresh, duck soup is not sweet, pork rib soup is not fragrant, and ham soup is not delicious.

Similar to the chicken tofu I made last time—

"Old hen, old duck, Jinhua ham, spare ribs..."

First, remove the chicken and duck breasts. Like the pork and beef tenderloin next to them, they will be minced and used to make soup later.

After cleaning the other ingredients, put them in a pot with some scallion and ginger slices, blanch them over high heat, then remove the ingredients and put them in another pot with water, simmer them over low heat again.

This time, because the competition lasted a full four hours, it was enough for Lin Youshu to simmer a pot of premium clear broth. He no longer needed to keep a close eye on things like he used to when he made chicken tofu.

While simmering the soup, he began preparing minced meat for skimming off impurities later.

Chicken, duck, pork, and beef—all four lean meats—are minced after removing excess fat and tendons.

Seeing this, many people couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Isn't this (Zhao Nuo's) making chicken tofu? The process seems the same!"

Of course they're different!

At least the minced chicken wasn't carefully prepared; the minced meat used to coat the soup was just roughly chopped up.

After taking care of all that, Lin Youshu began to process the cabbage.

Cabbage is another key ingredient in this dish.

From ingredient selection to processing, everything must be done with utmost care and caution. Just because you have premium clear broth doesn't mean you can be careless.

The soup is for drinking, and the cabbage is for eating.

To get a perfect score, there can't be any flaws!

There are twelve judges, so at least twelve cabbages should be prepared.

"If it were just like the regular version of boiled cabbage, simply blanched and served with clear broth, that wouldn't be me."

Lin Youshu chuckled.

"Hmm, it seems like I haven't really shown off my knife skills properly since I started competing. Today I'll make an exception and let you all see them..."
