[Grade: Two Stars]

This time, the illusion is a small but cozy little house.

Bathed in warm yellow light, Lynch looked out the kitchen window at the buildings across the road.

Across the street, the Ford family seemed to be having dinner as well. Mrs. Joel brought out her carefully prepared stewed beef. After receiving praise from her family, she couldn't help but smile happily, and tears welled up in her eyes, dripping onto her bandaged hands.

"What a warm and cozy atmosphere!"

Lin Qi smiled, looked away, and then looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, his expression becoming serious.

Although each time Lin Yu was in the illusion, it brought him unimaginable blessings, allowing him to maintain a magical "flow" state.

However, Lin Yu does not rigidly adhere to the original recipe. He is also a chef with his own cooking philosophy and confidence in his skills.

In some details, he prefers to follow his own inspiration.

"bring it on!"

ignition.

Heat the enameled pot, add olive oil, and then add a little butter to enhance the aroma.

High-quality beef is cut into small pieces and marinated for a long time in red wine with spices and fruit, until it is thoroughly flavorful.

Remove the beef from the oil, carefully pat it dry with kitchen paper, coat it with a thin layer of flour, and fry it in oil to achieve a full Maillard reaction, resulting in a fragrant and tempting caramelized exterior.

The pan-fried beef is removed, and the chopped bacon is added to the pan and stir-fried to create the first layer of flavor for the dish.

Next, chopped garlic, onions, celery, mushrooms, and carrots were added to the pot and stir-fried.

Sprinkle in a little paprika, then pour in a glass of white wine.

With a "sizzle," the alcohol evaporated in the high temperature, further enhancing the already alluring aroma of vegetables, tantalizing Lin Yu's nose.

"Glug glug~"

Beef, side dishes, and a whole bottle of red wine were thrown into the pot.

Black pepper, salt, sage, thyme, rosemary...

When the lid was put on, everything returned to calm. Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and left the rest to time.

"Lin Yujun, great! We did it!"

"It's not finished yet, but we can breathe a little easier."

Lin Yu looked at Tadokoro Megumi with a smile in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yu gave the other person a thumbs up, "Tadokoro-kun, you did a great job just now, it was beyond my expectations."

"Really? My mind went completely blank just now. I had no idea what I was thinking and could only follow orders."

"That's good enough."

"It's so great to be able to help Lin Yujun!"

Just as Lin Yu was about to check on Erina Nakiri's progress, he noticed that she was also looking at him, her provocative gaze undiminished.

"Are you still wasting your energy?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Since you're still not giving up, then let me show you what a true food paradise looks like!"

The next moment, Erina Nakiri lifted the lid of the pot in front of her, and an enchanting aroma wafted out, instantly filling the entire classroom.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"It's so tempting, I can't resist it."

"That looks like Lady Nakiri Erina's cooking."

"As expected of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy, they are incredibly strong! Just by smelling their scent, you can tell they are terrifyingly powerful."

"It smells so good! It's torture to smell such a wonderful aroma but not be able to taste it!"

Lin Yu subconsciously swallowed.

He has a keen sense of smell, and being so close by, with delicious food right in front of him but unable to taste it, was truly a tormenting experience.

Erina Nakiri remained completely unconcerned about the whispers and gossip among the surrounding students.

She raised an eyebrow at Lin Yu, then scooped a spoonful of stewed beef from the pot, carefully arranged it on a plate, and then carried the plate to the podium.

Students along the way looked at Erina Nakiri with admiration, but no one knew that Erina Nakiri's heart was actually in turmoil at that moment.

Ever since she tasted Lin Yu's bacon and omelet, Nakiri Erina knew that his culinary skills were extremely advanced.

But she didn't know why, every time she saw that face, she would recall that feeling of weight and lightness, and the ancient castle floating between the blue sky and white clouds.

This feeling was strange; it made Erina Nakiri's heart race, as if something deep within her had touched her.

She didn't know whether she liked or hated this feeling, but when she saw Lin Yu again today, that nervous feeling of rapid breathing returned.

Erina Nakiri dislikes these emotional changes that are out of her control.

Today was the same. I wanted to communicate normally with the other person, but as soon as the words came out, I immediately lost control and couldn't help but want to say something sarcastic to them.

She clearly didn't want this to happen...

"I'm absolutely insane..."

Erina Nakiri shook off the jumbled thoughts in her mind.

"No! Lin Yu, I haven't accepted you yet."

"I'll show you that only my dishes can be called perfect works of art, only my dishes can represent the scenery of a culinary paradise!"

After placing the food on the podium, Erina Nakiri turned and gestured to her assistant.

"Hisa sand."

"yes!"

Hisako Niito handed a plate of stewed beef to Lin Yu. "This was ordered by Lady Erina. She wants you to be convinced."

"Please savor Erina-sama's cooking with gratitude and appreciation, and then recognize the difference between you and that lady."

Lin Yu took the plate.

On the pristine white plate, glistening red wine sauce coated the beef, radiating an irresistible allure to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu put a spoonful of stewed beef into his mouth, closed his eyes, intending to savor the taste, but the moment it entered his mouth, the powerful impact almost made him tremble all over.

The beef is so tender that you don't even need to use your teeth; with a gentle touch of your tongue, it melts away, blending with the rich and mellow red wine sauce to create a river of "deliciousness."

The warm river water, carrying waves, rushed from Lin Yu's mouth all the way into his stomach and into the depths of his soul.

When Lin Yu opened his eyes, the original cooking classroom had disappeared. His senses of taste created a stunning mental landscape for him, with a great river of red wine sauce rushing before his eyes!

Listening to the surging waves around him, Lin Yu stepped into them.

On the riverbank, warm red wine sauce splashed at his feet, and a piece of beef floated up from the water, forming a step beneath his feet.

Taking the second step, the second set of steps that emerges is a carrot.

The third step is pearl onions, followed by mushrooms, pearl onions, bacon, black pepper, rosemary...

The steps were perfectly fitted together and built higher and higher, bringing Lin Yu closer and closer to the sky until he stepped into the clouds. A beautifully designed golden palace, like a work of art, came into his view.

The gates opened automatically, and at the far end of the palace, on a golden throne, a haughty figure looked down at him.

On the throne, Erina Nakiri swirled the wine in her glass, looked at Lin Yu, and smiled gently.

Welcome to...

"A paradise for food lovers!"
