As soon as the braised bamboo shoots were picked up and separated from the clear layer of oil, a strange aroma spread out.
There seems to be another mysterious beast roaring invisibly between heaven and earth.
Vague white heat steamed up, revealing the four great mythical beasts, which also made Kirisenzaemon and other judges' expressions suddenly change!
"This dish?!"
Dragons roared, tigers roared, phoenixes roared and turtles roared, all descended together, and finally turned into a strange clanking sound.
"Da da da!"
The originally shiny braised bamboo shoots between their chopsticks were suddenly coated with a layer of golden light, which was reflected on the big screen, causing countless students and teaching staff to gasp.
This is the only time in their lives for them to see changes after the dishes are finished!
"It really happened!"
“The interlocking of ultimate taste??”
Kirisenzaemon's eyes shrank and he showed a solemn expression, while Kusou Rokuen's eyes were shining brightly. He didn't care about his manners and directly put the golden bamboo shoots on the chopsticks into his mouth.
"Woo!"
"This is the taste, the ultimate taste blends in my mouth!!"
There seemed to be a high temperature all over his body, like a lobster about to be boiled. Jiucou Luyuan's skin began to turn red, and steam began to rise from the top of his head.
The staff of igo seemed to have been prepared. They took out buckets of ice water and poured it on the branch leader, which also stimulated a lot of steam, as if there was a furnace burning in Jiucou Luyuan's body.
"This is??"
Zenji Marui sat in the auditorium and clicked his glasses, thinking about the classics he obtained from the library, and finally came up with a record.
"A massive increase in gourmet cells? But... isn't the director of the Luyuan branch already special? A dish that can make the special chef's gourmet cells increase in an instant..."
Zenji Marui was so shocked by his guess that he didn't even notice that his glasses fell to the ground unconsciously. He stood up suddenly and stared at the final dish on the stage!
...
"Eat."
The high priest looked at the few people who were looking at each other. She also knew that they still had doubts in their hearts. Even though Jiucou Luyuan had made it so clear, they still didn't believe it.
Let alone them, even the great priest himself may not believe it.
Because that's incredible.
Even before he has entered the ranks of special chefs, he has already begun to involve the ultimate flavor interlocking at the Lin level. It is not that there has never been such a genius in the world, but Touying... I have never seen it before!
Now everything can only be revealed through tasting.
Even De Fenglei, who had repeatedly overturned his understanding of Zhao Youqian, had to show a hint of shock.
He was even more determined in his heart. If the interlocking was really achieved, even if there were just some signs, Zhao Youqian would be worthy of the De Feng family's full investment!
No one answered the high priest's words, because their minds were already focused on the golden bamboo shoots on the heads of their chopsticks. For some reason, the brown sauce turned into a golden grease-like liquid and adhered to the bamboo shoots.
When you put it in your mouth, these big shots who have already passed their youth are immediately shocked as if they have regained their youth.
As time goes by and the seasons change, everything seems to change with it, bringing them back to the era of their youth.
"Zaemon, Zaemon!"
A bright woman called softly in the sunshine, and tears filled Kirisenzaemon's eyes just once.
"Pear Blossom..."
The muttering to himself came out, but the outside world could only see Kirisenzaemon-sama's clothes suddenly flying all over his body. They did not burst, but fell down smoothly. Fortunately, the people of the Kirisen family were already well-trained.
, the moment he saw the vision, he was surrounded by black cloth, so as not to lose his virginity in public.
In the mouths of several judges, the sweet and sour taste of Orange Lake Crab, the dry and spicy aroma of Suzaku Flame, and the ultimate double delicacies of Steamed Turtle Lamb were all revealed, but they were all revealed by a black hole that suppressed everything and swallowed everything.
The taste is absorbed, and a slightly sour taste with fresh sweetness melts in the judges' tongues.
It is a complete fusion of several extreme flavors, with the umami axis as the core, whether it is sweet and sour, spicy and meaty, or sweet and refreshing, they are all perfectly combined.
It exploded in an instant.
So much so that even several big shots who were already resistant to ordinary Lin-level cuisine were completely captured by the heart of Wano's chef that was quietly blooming.
Whether it’s Orange Lake Crab, Suzaku Flame, or even the final Steamed Turtle Lamb and Braised Bamboo Shoots, what really makes Zhao Youqian integrate them is not to recreate the main focus of umami, but to present his own uniqueness in each dish.
The thinking about integration has been gradually advanced with the heart of Hezhichu.
The fusion of fruit and crab, the fusion of the texture of the ingredients, the fusion of two opposing ingredients, and the fusion of bamboo shoots that encompass all flavors.
Orange and crab are in conflict with each other, but they are also mutually reinforcing, and turtle and sheep are also in conflict with each other and are complementary to each other. It starts with the cycle of these two dishes, and finally melts into the empty gap of the bamboo shoots to accept everything.
This is Zhao Youqian’s final solution to the question of fusion!
Why use bamboo shoots as the finale of the last dish? Zhao Youqian thought about it for a long time before deciding.
Only the size of bamboo shoots can absorb so many flavors to harmonize the previous three dishes without overpowering the unique fragrance of bamboo shoots.
The oil fried with diced chicken and chili peppers is used to cook the bamboo shoot slices, and the rich crab juice is used as the source of salt. It is cooked with the soup of steamed turtle and mutton and prunes.
This is the fusion of the flavors of the three dishes, paired with a hint of the greasy and fermented sourness of the bamboo shoots.
And when Zhao Youqian watched the judges who ate this dish gradually showing extraordinary visions, he knew that he had made the right bet!
He has never tried this kind of dish before. The last dish is combined with the previous three dishes to stimulate the strongest flavor, and at the same time, the remaining tastes of the first three dishes in the diners' mouths are awakened to combine the so-called ultimate.
Taste, this method is only a possibility constructed in his mind.
He didn't expect that the first time he tried it, he would achieve almost perfect results.
...
"You should be able to pass it, right? Look at it like this?"
Kirie Rina didn't know where her excitement came from in the Ten Heroes Observation Room. It might be because she was about to see a piece of Tozakura's history being broken, or even a record that had been dusty for twenty years in the world being broken.
"I don't know. Who can understand how the judges select?"
Si Yingshi shook his head. He had already made up for the lessons before coming here. In the final three-star assessment, it was not an example of him conquering the examiner with his dishes, but failing because he did not meet the test questions.
And based on his level, he couldn't tell whether the last dish met the word "fusion" in the exam question.
Silence, the scene fell into an unspeakable silence for some reason.
After tasting Zhao Youqian's last two dishes, the judges sat down directly and returned to their seats without speaking. They just looked at Zhao Youqian with calm eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Youqian, who was originally very nervous, didn't care anymore.
He's done everything, and if this doesn't pass, it means he hasn't done enough.
It wouldn't be a bad thing to continue to hone my cooking skills for two years.
What's more, he still has a place like Zhutian Restaurant, where he can see more different ingredients and cooking skills from around the world. Even if his enthusiasm weakens, it will not slow down the progress of his cooking skills.
Being confident naturally means you are more confident, your eyes are introverted, and you look at the examiner on the court calmly, without even a trace of nervousness.
And this kind of strong self-confidence also made the five judges secretly sigh, maybe this kind of self-confidence is the reason why he can create such dishes!
How could someone who is not extremely confident choose that way to interlock the ultimate flavors?
Kirisenzaemon looked around and immediately prepared to announce the news.
Inadvertently, he blocked the increasingly dazzling sunlight with his hands.
"A new era has come!"

After all, this is the pretense, everyone can see whether it passes or not, so I won’t write it down in detail. After that, it will be a new chapter!
