Crossover Anime: Starting with a Fusion of Master Chef, a Top-Tier Master Chef

"Lin Jun, you're amazing!"

The young woman spoke excitedly on the phone, her voice filled with admiration and affection that could be heard even through the internet.

This made Lin Youshu feel somewhat smug.

Being praised by an ordinary person and being praised by a beautiful girl are two different feelings.

He asked curiously, "Are you watching a live stream?"

Setsuna said, "Yes, I was worried at first that you would be too slow to finish, but thankfully you didn't exceed the time limit. Next time, could you please not cross the line? It's scary."

The pretty girl said coquettishly on the phone.

Lin Youshu smiled and said, "This dish took a little longer to prepare today, and it was already shortened. Tomorrow, we'll see how it goes, and I'll try not to make anything so time-consuming and laborious."

Setsuna: "How about we try to get another perfect score tomorrow?"

"How can it be that simple?"

Lin Youshu chuckled to himself.

Although he really wanted to get full marks every time, the scoring was in the hands of the judging panel, not in his hands.

The only thing we can do is to make every dish as good as possible!

Yukina: "Others can't do it, but Hayashi-kun definitely can!"

Lin Youshu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do my best!"

"..."

The two chatted briefly before Setsuna had to reluctantly hang up because she had to cook.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Youshu shook his head and chuckled.

……

"I am back."

Lin Youshu opened the door to his home as usual.

As if hearing the sound of a door opening, the piano music in the room suddenly stopped.

Then the door opened, and Touma came out.

"The vegetables are washed."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Youshu nodded subconsciously.

They've gotten used to this "old married couple" lifestyle.

Dinner was ready in no time.

During the meal, Touma hesitated before asking, "Can I make that chicken tofu at home?"

Lin Youshu almost choked.

This dish is time-consuming and laborious; if it weren't for the need to achieve good results, he wouldn't have wanted to make it.

Hearing Touma ask that question, he suddenly felt a little scared.

However, seeing the expectant look in her eyes, he could only bite the bullet and agree: "It's a bit of a hassle. If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you when I have time. I'm afraid it's not possible right now."

Touma nodded slightly and explained, "I was just asking casually."

It's fine to ask casually.

Lin Youshu certainly wouldn't take it seriously, but it's not impossible to do it at home. Just find some free time and put in a little more effort.

Halfway through the meal, Touma said, "I heard there's a fireworks festival on the 30th."

Lin Youshu asked curiously, "Fireworks festival? Where?"

He was still very interested in the fireworks festival, since the scenes related to fireworks festivals in the anime were depicted as very beautiful.

There was also a song called "Uchiage Hanabi" that was very popular.

Touma said, "Over at the karate school."

Lin Youshu exclaimed in surprise, "Then wouldn't we be able to see it from home?"

His house is in a great location with a wide view. If fireworks are set off near the karate school, you can see them from his house through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Saves you the hassle of transportation.

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll prepare some food then, and we can watch it together at home."

After hearing this, Touma lowered his head and ate his food in silence.

She was becoming increasingly reluctant to leave.

I'll miss the delicious meals I get every day, the grand piano I'm growing to love, and... water.

Today is the third round of the knockout stage...

The number of people is much smaller than before.

Only 32 contestants remain.

These 32 people were selected from thousands of applicants. Each of them possesses unique skills and could stand alone in any high-end restaurant!

Today, the final ten finalists will be selected from these 32 participants, and these ten will then compete against the specially invited participant, Erina Nakiri, for the championship!

By the way——

Megumi Tadokoro has successfully advanced to the round of 32.

This was already a result that exceeded her expectations. As for whether she can make it to the finals...

That's too difficult, I dare not even dream of it!

I hope Lin Youshu can perform normally, and it would be best if he could get another perfect score.

Although this requirement is a bit high, after all, three perfect scores in three consecutive rounds is too frightening to talk about, and it is an unprecedented situation in the TEBLE Championship.

But wouldn't it be even more legendary if such an achievement could be accomplished?!

……

"What do you think that guy will choose to cook today?"

In the athletes' rest area, many people gathered together and whispered among themselves.

Although the 32 contestants were divided into different small groups, they seemed to have formed a united front, all for the purpose of targeting Lin Youshu.

Of course, some people don't care.

"Who knows? Instead of worrying about what he's going to cook, we should think about how to make a dish that will satisfy the judges."

Ultimately, the competition must be judged by actual strength.

You can't exactly pull some tricks in front of everyone and the camera, can you?

At this point, the staff began announcing today's competition schedule.

"Today is the third round of the knockout stage!"

The title is: Awesome!

"The time limit is 2.7 hours (three hours). Please submit your application materials within ten minutes!"

ox?!

Upon seeing the question, Lin Youshu frowned slightly and began to think.

"Cow-related, beef? Milk?"

The range of topics is much wider; just considering the various parts of a cow, Lin Youshu could come up with at least three digits of dishes.

As for what specific dishes to make...

This needs further consideration.

As long as it's not beef offal hotpot, they shouldn't lose.

"Have it!"

Lin Youshu clapped his hands, suddenly thinking of a suitable dish, and quickly wrote down a list of ingredients, handing it to the staff next to him.

As Lin Youshu was writing the list, people around him secretly cast curious glances, wondering what kind of dishes he planned to cook this time.

Although they were all very confident in themselves, what if they ran into this big devil? Wouldn't they suffer a terrible fate?

(I don't know where those sensitive words came from, so I'm afraid to post a long chapter now. More will be posted later.)

Chapter Sixty: What kind of chef can't turn the rotten into the miraculous!

Many people are curious about what kind of amazing dish Lin Youshu will make this time.

Actually, to be honest...

The dish he wanted to make today could be described as "ordinary".

The ingredients are very ordinary, the cooking method is very ordinary, and even the process is very ordinary.

The "ordinary" I'm referring to here is compared to other dishes.

Like braised cabbage with dried scallops, it may seem like a simple dish, but in fact, there are many differences in the details.

Unlike chicken tofu, which is all about showing off skills and requires a very high level of personal culinary ability, this dish is different.

This dish can truly be described as a common home-style dish, not belonging to any particular cuisine. It can be made all over China, with only slight differences in preparation and flavor.

Of course, it can't be said to be completely ordinary.

This dish is a frequent guest at state banquets of a major Eastern country, and is very popular with guests from both China and abroad, thus earning its place among the top ten classic state banquet dishes.

Its name is "Braised Beef in a Pot"!

……

Braised beef in a pot.
