The dish she made was French vinegar chicken. A plump chicken was roasted golden and glistening with oil, its aroma wafting enticingly. Beside it, several small tomatoes, cooked to a vibrant red, were artfully arranged, emitting a faint sweet and sour scent.
"This is a chicken that Amesha herself cultivated. In terms of quality, it is in no way inferior to the famous Bresse chicken, and its meat is exceptionally tender."
Professor John said lightly, clearly full of confidence in his favorite student.
"Since that's the case, we won't be polite."
Senzaemon Nakiri and the others nodded, then began to taste it.
Cutting open the chicken, revealing the tender and plump white meat inside, they dipped it in a little sauce and put it into their mouths.
The chicken was indeed exceptionally delicious, rich but not greasy, with a fresh sourness that emerged, carrying a hint of herbal fragrance and a subtle sweetness, making it extraordinarily palatable and delicious.
"Is this chicken cultivated by this student herself? Truly remarkable."
Chapel exclaimed in admiration. In terms of quality, it was indeed not inferior to the famous Bresse chicken, and the meat was exceptionally tender.
At the same time, he felt a strange tension. The other party's favorite student was indeed extraordinary.
Only Satou was left on their side, and he wondered if his dish would be suppressed by the other party, which filled him with tension.
Although Senzaemon Nakiri didn't show it, he was secretly worried about Satou.
"It's truly delicious."
Leonora Nakiri and her daughter also ate happily.
Senzaemon Nakiri also nodded. This dish indeed had the Elite Ten's standard.
Amesha proudly glanced at Satou, her look full of provocation.
Satou was instantly speechless, too lazy to bother with her, and had the attendant bring his dish to Senzaemon Nakiri and the others.
He had made Orange Scented Honey Glazed Pork Rice Balls.
Speaking of which, this dish was taught to him by Erina Nakiri.
Previously, the two of them often competed in cooking at night. One time, Erina Nakiri made this dish, and Satou thought it was quite delicious after tasting it, so he asked Erina Nakiri to teach him.
The method for this dish was also very simple.
Rice is coated with special orange sauce, then wrapped in pork slices, and finally brushed with honey glaze made from honey and soy sauce, then put into the oven.
The golden, glistening pork wrapped around the firm white rice, with sliced small tomatoes underneath, and a sprinkle of white sesame seeds on top, gave off a rich aroma.
"What a beautiful dish. It's truly surprising, you're also a meticulous boy."
Leonora Nakiri said admiringly.
Satou was a little speechless, and lightly coughed, saying, "Please enjoy, everyone."
Professor John and the others had long wanted to try Satou's dish, so they all picked up their chopsticks and grabbed a pork rice ball, putting it into their mouths.
Senzaemon Nakiri and the others followed suit and began to taste it.
The pork, with its perfect balance of fat and lean, was exceptionally delicious, soft and rich, with the floral aroma of honey, and a sweet, tender taste. Biting into the rice inside, one could taste the sweet orange sauce within.
"So delicious!"
A hint of deep surprise flashed in Chapel's eyes. "The wonderful taste of this pork is just like what I tasted last time."
"The taste of this pork is simply too good!"
The people on Professor John's side also showed a hint of shock.
They had never eaten such delicious pork!
Senzaemon Nakiri's face also rarely showed a hint of a smile, looking at Satou, he nodded and praised, "Not bad."
"Hmm, Erina-chan's boyfriend is really amazing! This dish is truly too delicious."
Leonora Nakiri's fair face showed a faint blush. Closing her eyes, she savored the sweet freshness of the orange and the richness of the pork on her tongue, praising in stiff Japanese.
Alice Nakiri also secretly took one from her mother's plate and put it into her mouth.
"So, so delicious!"
She covered her cheeks, her face flushed red, and said.
"What kind of pork is this? Why is it so delicious?"
"Yes, is it a new variety cultivated by your Far Moon?"
The Instructor from Professor John's side quickly inquired.
"Hehe."
Senzaemon Nakiri was greatly comforted, chuckling, and said, "That's right, this is a new variety cultivated by Satou himself."
Professor John and the others looked at Satou with even greater astonishment.
Is this person really a genius in cultivation?
"Your school truly produces many talented individuals. This student is truly remarkable…"
Professor John exclaimed.
"Haha, of course! In the future, he will also become a member of Nakiri."
Senzaemon Nakiri was clearly very happy, laughing heartily.
"Grandpa!"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately turned crimson, feeling that her grandfather was too meddlesome.
She seemed to have not even agreed to a relationship with Satou yet, had she? Although privately, they were already dating.
"Oh?"
Professor John asked in surprise, "Why is that?"
"In the near future, he will marry Erina."
Senzaemon Nakiri was clearly in a good mood, saying with a smile.
Erina Nakiri only felt her cheeks burning, both shy and angry.
"Is that so?"
Professor John and the others were all disappointed. In this way, they wouldn't be able to poach anyone else.
Although the elders didn't explicitly state the superiority or inferiority between the two dishes, it was clear to anyone with an discerning eye that Satou's dish was clearly superior.
Amesha couldn't help but glare at Satou huffily.
Her classmates were also disheartened, not expecting that in this unofficial showdown, they would all lose to Far Moon's Elite Ten.
Chapel also breathed a sigh of relief. Far Moon's students indeed did not disappoint them.
"Let's go eat too."
Isshiki Satoshi smiled slightly and said, "I still have some of my chicken and cabbage left."
"I still have some of my dish too."
Erina Nakiri nodded.
Next, Satou and everyone else went back to the kitchen to have dinner.
...
In the evening.
"Eh? Aunt Reioura, are you going back so soon?"
Erina Nakiri asked in surprise.
"Yes, Mother, you could actually leave tomorrow."
Alice Nakiri also nodded.
"Although I really want to stay, there are still many things at the research institute."
Leonora Nakiri covered her face, also feeling a pang of reluctance, and said, "Erina-chan, remember to come visit Northern Europe during your honeymoon."
