The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 34: That Was My Lost Youth!


Boris brought his dish to the three judges.

The three people who originally thought Luo Chao would surely win were utterly shocked when they saw the seared foie gras meticulously prepared by Chef Boris with lavish ingredients!

Top-quality French foie gras paired with a million-dollar 1787 Lafite wine—even for people in their wealthy strata, this meal was extraordinarily luxurious!

At this moment, all three of them felt they had overestimated their own position!

They never expected that Chef Boris had such a hidden "trick" up his sleeve!

At the final moment, he spared no expense, offering up his private collection, clearly determined to win this competition!

Among the three, Miao Shiyun felt the deepest regret.

Earlier, she had intentionally voted for Boris, wanting to taste another of Luo Chao's dishes, thus forcibly dragging the contest into the third round.

But now, facing Boris's formidable show of extravagance, she truly felt that the outcome of this round was hard to predict!

After all, Chef Boris was ahead in terms of ingredients—these were treasures brought from France.

Meanwhile, Luo Chao had to rely on the existing ingredients in the hotel, losing a significant advantage right from the start!

Miao Shiyun had already decided that if Luo Chao really lost later, she would apologize sincerely to him!

Throwing aside their overwhelming thoughts, the trio calmed themselves and began to savor Chef Boris's exquisite seared foie gras meticulously.

Paired with the incredibly fragrant 1787 Lafite wine, the crispy and delicious French bread accompanying the foie gras slowly found its way into their stomachs after their careful tasting.

This time, even Zhou Delong, who only cried when eating Luo Chao's dishes, finally shed tears of emotion.

"I have lived a full 80 years! But only today do I truly feel how wonderful life is! How wonderful it is to be human!"

"Only by living can one taste such delicious worldly delicacies! Only humans can possess such remarkable culinary skills!" Zhou Delong, with tears in his eyes, spoke of his conclusion from his eighty years of culinary journey.

"This French-style seared foie gras is cooked to a golden crispy perfection, with a slight hint of scorch aroma emanating."

"The fatty and tender foie gras seeps into the crispy bread during cooking, making one's mouth water!"

"Inside, the foie gras is soft and sweet, with a smooth and delicate texture gently gliding over the tongue, akin to a long passionate kiss leaving one utterly captivated!"

At this point, Zhou Delong paused for a moment.

His aged face blushed, but he continued after steeling himself, "Forgive me if it sounds laughable, I'm 80 years old, yet this seared foie gras brought me back to that dusk 62 years ago. I felt like that 18-year-old inexperienced youth again—this was the first kiss with my first love!"

At the emotional climax of his words, Zhou Delong no longer blushed; all that remained was a longing for lost youth.

This moved everyone present, including Luo Chao, with Zhou Delong's touching heartfelt expression.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap..."

Everyone sincerely and warmly applauded the elder who had dedicated his life to the Huaxia culinary industry!

Chef Boris's seared foie gras is undeniably a pinnacle creation in French gastronomy.

A dish cooked can evoke the taste of first love, a testament to the remarkable intuitiveness of this gourmet delight!

Chef Boris selected top-quality ingredients and combined them with his extraordinary culinary skills to make this seared foie gras, a masterpiece of the evening!

Faced with such a brilliant performance by Chef Boris, deep down, the three who supported Luo Chao couldn't help but worry for him, all turning to look at Luo Chao.

But an unexpected scene unfolded!

Luo Chao wasn't cooking at all!

Instead, he was sitting on a small stool by the cooking station with an amused look on his face, intensely absorbed in playing a game on his phone!

"Luo Chao! What are you doing? Don't you know we're in a competition?" Lin Yun, as the strict boss of Luo Chao, couldn't help but reprimand him upon seeing his relaxed demeanor.

It wasn't surprising Lin Yun was anxious—compared to Chef Boris's astonishing performance in adversity, Luo Chao indeed seemed too casual at this moment.

"That's right, young friend Luo Chao, time waits for no one. Chef Boris's seared foie gras just now is an absolute delicacy, with my words bearing no exaggeration at all!"

"I'll say this upfront—though your first two dishes were also extraordinary delicacies, if your third dish matches them in level, you won't surpass Chef Boris's seared foie gras!"

Zhou Delong stomped his feet anxiously. Despite being conquered by Chef Boris's seared foie gras, he still hoped Luo Chao could prevail in this ultimate showdown between the world's two culinary traditions!

Hearing their anxious urgings, Luo Chao checked the time on his phone, then turned to Zhou Delong and asked: "Elder Zhou, how much time is left until the end of the third round?"

Momentarily caught off guard by Luo Chao's question, Zhou Delong paused, then glanced at his watch and said, "One hour left!"

"Hmm, looks like there's just enough time. You all should wait a moment; the dish I'm preparing next needs time, it has to stew!"

After speaking, Luo Chao nonchalantly returned to playing on his phone.

"Stew? What kind of dish is that?"

Curious, Zhou Delong peered toward Luo Chao's cooking station.

A gracefully styled clay pot was on the stove with a small flame burning beneath it.

As the slow simmering continued, wisps of white steam gently rose from the pot...
