Chapter 317 Satisfaction
Attracted by the unique aroma, the five people lost their minds and scrambled for the food in front of them instinctively.

The first thing they grabbed was the dish made by the mysterious person closest to them - chicken tofu pudding.

And this was also the result of the mysterious person's deliberate placement.

He just wants to take the lead and imprint the taste of the food on everyone's palate first.

When tasting the first dish, the palate is like a blank sheet of paper, and the pictures drawn on it will be clearly visible. He wants to make a vivid impression on the palate and build a line of defense for the palate.

When they taste the next dish, unless the taste of the next dish can completely break down this line of defense, it will be blocked by this line of defense, so that the taste of the next dish will be greatly affected and its stimulation to the taste buds will be weakened.

It's like painting again on a piece of paper that already has an image on it; it will only make the painting a mess.

He posed a difficult problem to Xu Qing.

At the same time, he did this because he lacked confidence in himself.

Even though he speaks grand words, when the time comes, the mysterious man will still try his best to ensure his victory.

After all, Xu Qing's strength is too strong. If he doesn't seize the initiative and falls behind Xu Qing, I'm afraid his dish won't even be able to leave a mark on the taste buds.

This idea is really pessimistic, but it is a fact, a fact that the mysterious man cannot accept, but cannot help but accept.

But if he could seize the initiative, he would have an 80% chance of winning the match.

After all, the dishes that he and his partner had made with all their might were already infinitely close to Xu Qing's quality. Even if there was a gap between the two sides, it would not be exaggeratedly large. In addition, if he seized the initiative and built a defense line in terms of taste in advance, his chances of winning would be greatly increased.

Even though Xu Qing saw through the mysterious man's little tricks, he remained silent.

It makes no difference to him whether it comes first or later, because he has absolute confidence in his own abilities.

After the knife skills duel in front of the gods, Xu Qing's knife skills improved significantly. In addition, the knife in his hand was the most suitable for him. With the double advantage, Xu Qing could not imagine the possibility of losing.

The five judges were completely immersed in the delicious food at this moment.

Chicken tofu pudding is a famous Sichuan dish that ordinary people don't know much about. However, as the leaders of Shanghai's culinary world, even if their cooking skills have declined a lot, their cooking knowledge and understanding of dishes are increasing day by day. However, these theoretical things will always be theories and cannot be implemented in practice.

They have all tasted chicken tofu pudding, so they have a basic understanding of this dish.

But the chicken tofu pudding in front of them completely overturned their common sense and cognition.

All the knowledge they had accumulated became useless at this moment.

Delicious food is a very subtle feeling. A slight difference can bring about a completely different taste.

The delicious taste in their mouths at this moment is more specific and vivid than that subtle feeling.

It was more delicious than any other chicken tofu pudding they had ever tasted. The taste in their mouths was the embodiment of the word "delicious". The first thing they felt was the fresh and refined fragrance. Chicken tofu pudding is most famous for its elegant fragrance. After removing the excess grease and fishy smell, only the purest meaty aroma and freshness of the chicken remained.

This elegant fragrance lingers softly in the mouth, soaking the lips and teeth in this fragrance. However, there is no greasy feeling of meat after the fragrance, but a long-lasting refreshing sweetness, just like taking a sip of fragrant tea, the elegant taste passes through the throat, leaving only a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

Then comes the taste of chicken tofu pudding. The slight touch of teeth makes the chicken tofu pudding melt in the mouth instantly. Its texture is extremely delicate and tender, just like the real tofu pudding. There is no residual residue in the mouth. All the chicken meat is beaten into minute details with fine knife skills, and all the fibers and particles in the meat are turned into delicate meat puree. Even the real tofu pudding is probably not as delicate as the chicken tofu pudding in the mouth. It is as tender and smooth as silk, sliding gently in the mouth.

This extremely delicate touch gave the five people a huge shock to their taste buds.

They had never tasted such a wonderful feeling before, not just the taste, it was as if the whole body was wrapped in smooth silk, and the naked skin could clearly feel the delicacy and lightness of the silk. It fits the body perfectly, bringing people extreme comfort and relaxation, as if every inch of skin is being gently caressed. This wonderful feeling is transmitted to the brain through every tiny nerve, causing the brain to tremble unconsciously, and the mind is blank due to the impact of this extremely delicate feeling.

There was a momentary empty look on the faces of the five people, as if their souls could not bear this intense stimulation and separated from their bodies in an instant.

This wonderful feeling, as if their souls were leaving their bodies, made the five people feel so comfortable that their scalps went numb and their whole bodies trembled three times.

And behind the extremely delicate feeling is the fragrant taste of the broth.

The fragrant broth also follows the rules of freshness and elegance, removing the greasiness and fishy smell of the meat, leaving only a refreshing taste like spring water. It carries the sweetness and freshness unique to chicken, and the addition of spices makes this already extraordinary deliciousness even more mysterious.

The elegant and mellow broth further brings out the flavor of the chicken tofu pudding itself. Coupled with the right temperature, the chicken tofu pudding becomes warm and natural in the mouth. It is more delicate than tofu pudding and more delicious than chicken. It fully combines the characteristics of both while eliminating the shortcomings of both, forming this perfect chicken tofu pudding.

Yes, there is no other word to describe it except perfection.

Perfection in technique, perfection in taste, perfection in senses.

It is so beautiful that there is no fault to be found, because it has no faults.

It's like something that shouldn't exist in the world, because there is no other taste or dish in the world that can be as perfect as it.

This perfect taste was deeply imprinted on the five people's taste buds, bringing them extreme comfort and pleasure, while also making them feel extremely satisfied.

The appetite that was previously dominated by wildness was now fully appeased. They were like well-fed wild beasts and had no interest in anything.

Ambition, interests, victory or defeat, all these things that made them excited just by thinking about them in the past and made them pursue them relentlessly, have now been completely forgotten by them.

The pursuit of desires comes from dissatisfaction, because the more you get, the more you want.

The greater the power in one's hands, the more one's ambition will grow. One will always feel that he or she can get more and will become endlessly greedy.

But this greed was stopped at this moment by a dish.

After tasting the chicken tofu pudding, they felt nothing but satisfaction.

All their past ambitions and desires combined could not compare to the satisfaction they felt at this moment.
