Chapter 467 Are you getting more competitive?
“It’s a huge profit!”

Fang Fang exclaimed excitedly.

She never thought that she would have the opportunity to taste state banquet-level dishes.

If it weren’t for Boss Su, this kind of delicacy would have nothing to do with her.

On the other side, Yang Lin silently put down the spoon, and fell into a complex emotion.

The scallion-fried Kanto ginseng that I just tasted was so delicious. No matter from which angle you judge it, it was impeccable and there was absolutely no flaw to be found.

From the cooking method, every step is just right, showing the exquisite skills.

The appearance and taste have reached top-notch standards.

At this moment, he felt a sense of happiness as if he had eaten top-notch food, but also a sense of melancholy as he did not want to admit the reality. His emotions were extremely complicated.

If it is just one dish, it may not explain much, after all, every chef has his or her own specialty.

But now, with the two dishes in front of him, Yang Lin was able to deeply realize that the Chinese cooking skills demonstrated by the young boss Su had truly reached the master level.

At this time, the foreman gently placed an exquisite white porcelain bowl next to Yang Lin.

In the small bowl, the chicken soup was rippling slightly, soaking a plump and round crab meat lion head.

The fried part on the surface melted slightly under the nourishment of the chicken soup. If you look closely, you can clearly see the finely chopped water chestnuts mixed in it.

The others also got a bowl one after another.

Yang Lin looked at the bowl of crab meat in front of him, spoon in hand, and was a little afraid to eat it.

Even those famous chefs can only perform at the top level in their signature dishes.

When they apply their cooking skills to other cuisines or dishes, with their rich cooking experience, they can certainly make the dishes delicious, or even very delicious.

But usually, it is difficult to display the top-notch, overwhelming level of excellence like a specialty dish.

The two dishes tasted earlier have undoubtedly reached top-notch levels in Yang Lin’s personal evaluation.

Now, facing this third dish, if it still maintains the top standard…

Yang Lin didn’t dare to think any further. He felt that he might fall into extreme self-denial, and even feel a sense of failure that all the knowledge he had gained over the years had gone to waste.

This complicated and tangled mood made his hand holding the spoon tremble slightly, and he was unable to put it down for a long time.

However, no matter what Yang Lin’s mood was at the moment.

Others started to taste the food.

“Delicious! Very delicious!” Hu Yuan gave his comment quickly.

“Boss Su’s craftsmanship is really impeccable.” Hong Yucheng also nodded.

“The death of this Alaskan king crab is totally worth it!” Fang Fang gave praise from different angles.

Yang Lin listened to the three people talking, took a deep breath, and stretched the spoon to the crab meat lion head in the white porcelain bowl.

The moment the spoon touched the meatball, it was as if a switch was triggered and the meatball collapsed quickly.

In an instant, a rich aroma of meat mixed with the unique flavor of crab roe rushed into his nostrils, making him feel refreshed.

He opened his mouth and took the first bite.

The moment you put it in your mouth, the meat filling, which is a combination of fat and lean meat, is soft and tender beyond your imagination. You hardly need to chew it. It is like a delicate cloud, gently spreading on the tip of your tongue.

Then, the unique crispness of the water chestnut exploded between the teeth, breaking the soft taste of the meat filling, neutralizing the greasy feeling that the meat filling may produce, and adding a different kind of freshness. If you taste it carefully, the rich flavor of the chicken soup has long been integrated into the lion’s head, making its original rich taste even richer and mellower.

The white pepper brings just the right amount of spiciness, making the taste more balanced, and the moderate salty and fresh taste is unforgettable.

Then, the freshness of the crab roe and the clearness of the chicken soup surged up like a tide at the same time, and the delicious taste was so rich that people couldn’t help but smack their lips repeatedly.

The freshness of crab roe and the clarity of chicken soup blend perfectly together.

Yang Lin chewed slowly. The aroma of meat, the freshness of crab, the sweetness of water chestnuts and the mellowness of chicken soup spread in his mouth layer by layer. With every chew, the flavors became more intense, intertwining with each other to create a feast for the taste buds.

The warm soup slowly slides down the throat, and the whole body feels warm from the mouth to the stomach, and the body and mind are immersed in the ultimate enjoyment brought by this delicacy.

Before he knew it, Yang Lin looked down and found that his bowl was empty.

The originally full bowl of crab meat and lion’s head has now disappeared, leaving only a little residual soup, which seems to still tell of the deliciousness just now.

And the pride in his heart was equally empty.

There is no doubt that this crab meat and lion’s head dish is still a top-level dish. From the selection of ingredients, cooking techniques to the final taste, every link is impeccable and the quality is excellent.

Even though Yang Lin wanted to find some flaws to comfort his frustrated heart, his reason prevented him from going against his conscience and finding fault.

“I lost.”

Yang Lin slowly closed his eyes, his lips trembling slightly, and muttered to himself.

He felt as if he had lost all his strength and had completely lost the will to compete with his opponent.

Thinking back to the Chinese-French combination recipe that I had carefully researched, I was full of confidence. However, in front of these three perfect dishes, it suddenly paled in comparison and was simply vulnerable.

At this moment, he could instantly find countless shortcomings in his dish in his mind. Those flaws that had been ignored now appeared clearly in front of him.

On the other side, Fang Fang was immersed in the joy of delicious food. She finished the soup in the bowl in one breath and was getting up to have another bowl with a look of unsatisfaction.

Just then, she vaguely heard Yang Lin’s voice and thought he was talking to her.

But she didn’t hear the details.

“What did you say? Speak louder, I can’t hear you!”

Fang Fang shouted at Yang Lin with a puzzled look on her face.

“I said, I lost!”

Yang Lin raised his head, his voice full of decadence and helplessness, and shouted almost in despair.

“If you lose, you lose. Why are you yelling so loudly?”

Fang Fang was a person who would not give in to others. When she heard Yang Lin shouting, she shouted back without any hesitation.

Yang Lin was suddenly speechless. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything for a long time. He could only look at Fang Fang with a frustrated look on his face.

Didn’t you ask me to speak louder?
Why are you blaming me instead?

Seeing Yang Lin’s depressed expression, Fang Fang felt no sympathy at all.

He continued in rapid succession, “You’re competing over a meal. Is it so hard to admit that others are better?”
