Food Wars!: Delicious Food of the Heavens

Chapter 75 Shock

Erina Nakiri swallowed the food in her mouth, deeply shocked.

Two seemingly contradictory qualities now coexist on the tip of one's tongue!

If she hadn't tasted it herself, Erina Kirei would have found it hard to believe that among her peers, there was someone whose culinary skills could so astound her, the "God Tongue"!

"Lady Erina, please try these scallion segments, they're delicious too."

Just as Kiri Erina was feeling somewhat uneasy, Hisako Shinto's words snapped her out of her reverie.

"Yes, I know."

Seemingly to hide her inner shock, Kiri Erina quickly picked up a piece of slightly charred scallion and hurriedly put it into her mouth without taking a good look at it.

The outer skin of the scallion segments has been peeled off, and the inside is very soft and tender, with a smooth texture and no sense of resistance.

First, they are deep-fried in hot oil, then they are scorched over a high flame.

The two different high-temperature changes create a slight charring effect on the surface of the scallion segments. The first thing you taste when you put them in your mouth is a rich, charred aroma.

But the moment your teeth break through the crispy outer shell, an intense aroma and sweetness burst forth from within the scallion segment with irresistible force.

The sweet juice coated the tip of the tongue and quickly filled every crevice between the mouth and teeth.

Erina Nakiri instinctively raised her hand to cover her mouth.

It's hard to imagine that a single scallion could have so much juice, and such a rich, sweet flavor that it's simply irresistible.

If I hadn't raised my hand in time to cover my mouth, the juice from the scallions would probably have been oozing from the corner of my mouth.

That would be such a waste... No! That would be so inelegant!

Erina Nakiri glanced at Hisako Shinoto beside her, and as she watched the juices that unintentionally dripped from the corner of Shinoto's mouth as she ate with gusto, Erina Nakiri gently patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Erina Kiri's little actions, Lin Yu suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

Lin Yu leaned down and whispered in Erina Kiri's ear, "This dish isn't at its most delicious yet."

"You don't need to tell me!"

Erina Nakiri glared at Lin Yu with a look of feigned anger.

Before Lin Yu could explain, Erina Nakiri eagerly picked up a piece of beef and a piece of green onion and put them in her mouth.

Lin Yu's skills are extremely high.

The scallions, after being stir-fried at high temperatures, have their sweet scallion aroma brought to its fullest potential by the intense heat.

Meanwhile, the scallions, tempered by intense heat, are tender and juicy, with a slightly soft and chewy aftertaste.

Simple scallions, after being handled by Lin Yu, become mouthwatering and bring a sense of joy when chewed.

The same goes for beef; its exterior exudes an enticing, charred aroma similar to barbecue, but its interior is an unbelievably tender and juicy contrast.

Despite such a rough handling method, the beef is tender and juicy, in no way inferior to Erina's steak, which was slow-cooked at a low temperature for a long time.

In this seemingly simple dish.

The scallions offer an exceptionally fresh and sweet taste.

The beef, on the other hand, presents an extremely rich and delicious flavor.

What they have in common is that they are all tender and juicy.

The scallion juice and meat juice blend together, creating two flavors that have reached their peak simultaneously. However, in this tender texture, these two strong flavors coexist harmoniously, achieving a perfect balance.

Whether it's the rich flavor of beef or the fresh sweetness of scallions, if either one's flavor deviates even slightly, this delicate balance of taste will be instantly shattered.

One flavor will overwhelmingly overpower the other, disrupting the balance and ultimately destroying the dish.

but..

The person who created this perfect balance is Lin Yu.

He used his unparalleled skill to control that monstrous, ferocious flame.

And by using extreme high temperatures, the ingredients of A5 Wagyu beef and green onion, which have very different aromas and characteristics, were powerfully tamed.

A word popped into Erina Kiri's mind.

Perfectly natural!

The sweet aroma of scallions and the rich fragrance of beef are perfectly balanced, and even with her divine tongue, she couldn't find a single fault with them.

Even if she herself were to use the Tongue of God to repeatedly experiment and adjust, she could probably only achieve this level at most.

"What a tender texture!"

"And it's so juicy...so sweet..."

'

Erina Nakiri was shocked and unconsciously murmured something to herself.

When she realized what was happening and looked up to find Lin Yu looking at her with a mocking expression, she felt both ashamed and angry.

"You rude wretch, what are you laughing at!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing the shy expression on Kiri Erina's face, Lin Yu burst out laughing. Kiri Erina was so embarrassed that she pretended to rush up and hit him, but Lin Yu dodged her with a quick movement.

"Young Miss, how is my home-style dish?"

Lin Yu leaned closer to Erina Kiri and asked with a smile, "Is it good?"

Erina blushed slightly, knowing what Lin Yu meant by his question.

Not long ago, she was saying that Lin Yu didn't know how to handle high-end ingredients, and didn't understand the true essence of cooking high-end ingredients, which is to master the core characteristics of ingredients and bring them to their full potential.

But now, Lin Yu has turned the tables and in just a few minutes, he has prepared a dish that perfectly embodies the tender and juicy qualities of A5 Wagyu beef.

Erina Nakiri blushed with embarrassment as she thought about what she had just said.

At this moment, Kiri Erina was both embarrassed and annoyed. The blush on her cheeks spread not only to her neck but also to the tips of her ears.

Like strawberries hanging on the vines in the early morning, still covered in dew.

It makes you want to take a bite.

Lin Yu found it amusing and, feigning ignorance, continued to press, "Erina, you still haven't told me if my dish is delicious or not?"

"You know perfectly well what you're asking! You're so talkative!"

Suppressing her shame, Erina Nakiri clenched her fist and punched Lin Yu on the shoulder.

But whether it was because Kiri Erina wasn't strong enough or for some other reason, the force of her fist on Lin Yu was so light that it didn't seem like she was really angry. Coupled with the blush on her ear tips, it looked more like a girl's coquettishness.

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yu burst into laughter again, while Erina Nakiri became even more ashamed and indignant, almost crying from anxiety.

"Stop this, you bastard!"

"Haha, okay, I'm just kidding."

After saying that, Lin Yu took out his phone and glanced at the time, noticing that it was already quite late.

"Erina, thank you for the meal today."

Lin Yu looked at Erina Kiri and said sincerely, "The steak was delicious. Both the texture and the seasoning were impressive."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Kiri Erina finally regained some of her original haughty demeanor, tossed her golden hair, and gave a light snort, her tone arrogant.

"snort!"

"Of course!"

"Who do you think I am?"

Seeing Erina Kiri's arrogant expression, Lin Yu smiled helplessly.

"You really have a lot of energy!"

After saying that, Lin Yu couldn't help but yawn.

"Ha~~"

Erina Nakiri looked at Lin Yu, "Are you sleepy?"

"Um.

""

Lin Yu nodded.

"I pushed myself a little too hard in the morning class."

"Besides, that dish wasn't easy either," Lin Yu said honestly. "After all, it was for you, the 'God Tongue,' to taste, so I dared not relax even a little."

"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Erina Kiri muttered subconsciously.

"Hehe, as long as Miss is satisfied."
