Food Wars!: Delicious Food of the Heavens

Chapter 71 The Perfect Stage Play

Erina Nakiri then realized that her actions with Lin Yu just now... seemed a bit... too intimate?

She was both embarrassed and anxious, and immediately withdrew her hand.

"You rascal, why did you actually smell it when I told you to?"

Erina Nakiri pointed at Lin Yu's face, her finger trembling, and the tips of her ears turning a blush.

"Hey! Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Lin Yu was speechless for a moment, then raised his hand to brush away Erina's fingers. "Dare you repeat what you just said? You were the one who offered your hand to me, okay?"

"I just forgot for a moment!" Erina Nakiri snapped. "But you're a guy, can't you at least have some self-control?"

Lin Yu spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "This kind of thing... I didn't think of it at the time!"

"Hey! You're taking advantage of me!"

Erina Nakiri stared at Lin Yu with a look that suggested he was a pervert. "Tell me! Was it intentional?"

Lin Yu rolled her eyes at the other person. "No."

"You even rolled your eyes at me!" Erina Nakiri glared at Lin Yu, displeased. "Can't you show some attitude?"

"You read too many shoujo manga... Ugh! Never mind..."

'

Lin Yu sighed. He felt that Erina Kiri was not the proud young lady she used to be, but rather had the illusion of being possessed by a shoujo manga character.

Kiri Erina... does she look like this now?

Does she actually read shoujo manga regularly?

Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore...

In short, he couldn't be bothered to argue with the other party.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Nakiri, I didn't mean it!"

Hearing Lin Yu's sincere apology, Erina Nakiri tossed her hair. "Hmm, it's good that you know you were wrong!"

"Lady Erina, that guy's last words weren't a sincere apology at all!" Hisako Shinoto sighed, somewhat speechless, and rubbed her forehead. "And how could you forgive him so easily?"

Hearing Hisako Shinoto's words, Lin Yu, who was already being harassed by Erina Kiri's strange behavior, became even more annoyed.

"Secretary, you need to speak with conscience!"

"If I hadn't helped you today, you'd probably still be squatting in that corner crying right now!"

"you!"

Hisako Shinto wanted to argue, but the words stuck in her throat, and she realized that she couldn't refute it at all.

After all, she couldn't deny the help Lin Yu had given her today.

Lin Yu glared at her. "Apologize to me."

Hisako Niito immediately backed down, "Okay, I'm sorry..."

'

"Okay, I was just kidding!"

Lin Yu chuckled, "Don't delay, the taste will be greatly diminished if this dish gets cold."

With that, Lin Yu stopped paying attention to Hisako Shinto and turned his attention to the dish in front of him.

"Erina's new cooking experiment is really intriguing!"

Lin Yu took the cutlery handed to him by Kirie Erina, holding the fork in one hand and gently pressing down on the steak, while holding the knife in the other.

The knife wasn't particularly sharp, but even so, the blade offered almost no resistance the moment it touched the steak, cutting it open with ease.

The feel of the steak made Lin Yu think that with such softness, even without a knife, chopsticks would be enough to easily cut it open!

Lin Yu forked up the trembling beef and put it in his mouth, confirming his suspicions.

So soft!

When the teeth fall, you can clearly feel the presence of the beef, and even feel the wonderful sensation of muscle fibers brushing against your gums.

But the falling teeth felt no resistance.

When you press your tongue down, the juices from the beef are squeezed out, flowing down the tip of your tongue, down to the back of your tongue, and into your throat, before finally flowing into your stomach.

During the long, low-temperature cooking process, the fat between the beef muscles almost completely melts away, and the beef muscle fibers exhibit a lightness that is almost unlike any other meat.

Lin Yu, with the piece of beef in his mouth, felt as if he were holding a cloud in his mouth.

The first taste of the steak is a rich, smoky flavor.

The woody fragrance of applewood, combined with the complex aroma of spice powder, and a subtle salty and savory flavor from the smoked salt.

As you chew, the emphasized smoky flavor is enhanced by the rapidly expanding and intensely aromatic notes of the spices.

The complex flavors of the spices, along with the sophisticated umami released by the A5 Wagyu beef during sous-vide cooking, blend together perfectly.

They are all flavorful ingredients, yet their fusion is remarkably harmonious.

Both the beef and the spices do not obscure each other's presence; on the contrary, they complement and highlight each other, amplifying their respective flavor characteristics and creating a powerful flavor storm in the taster's mouth!

How can one describe this perfect flavor?

It's like a smooth piano piece.

Every keystroke, every change in melody, and even every breath of the performer is timed perfectly.

There wasn't a single mistake, nor a single discord.

The entire piece of music is as if it were created by nature itself!

Or perhaps, what is unfolding in Lin Yu's mouth at this moment is a wonderful stage play.

The delicious flavor of beef is the stage, the smoky flavor is the curtain, and each spice is a dancer or actor on the stage.

To the accompaniment of cheerful music, each dancer began to dance with abandon, stretching their bodies gracefully.

But in each change of dance posture, all the dancers raised their legs at the same moment and landed at the same moment, smoothly completing the change of movement and position, and no one made a mistake.

And this is also the most impressive quality of Kirie Erina's cuisine.

Gorgeous! Dazzling!

Yet it is incredibly precise and harmonious, leaving no trace of error.

Countless complex flavors, under the command of her "Divine Tongue," flowed without a single conflict or error, like a magnificent stage play, presenting a stunning effect that left those who experienced it in awe.

Lin Yu cut off another piece of steak, dipped it in pumpkin puree, and put it in his mouth.

Silky smooth, creamy and rich, with a texture like ice cream.

It's not just the rich flavor of pumpkin, but also the warmth of eggs and milk.

It's like casting a golden glow over the stage, making it even more magnificent.

Unable to resist, Lin Yu cut another piece of steak and placed it on the green sauce prepared by Erina Nakiri.

This time, it's not the rich aroma of pumpkin, but the freshness of fresh leafy green vegetables!

The spiciness of garlic and the fresh aroma of olive oil blend together harmoniously, creating a wonderfully balanced flavor.

The smoked steak has a robust flavor yet a light texture, which, when combined with the refreshing pesto, elevates the already wonderful taste of the steak.

Just like this stage play, it has now reached a new climax!
