The dish presented this time shocked everyone; the decoration of the Deer Blood Elixir was actually the head of a Silverhorn Antelope, crafted from white dough and adorned with silver threads, appearing lifelike.
Surrounding the antelope head were a circle of wine cups, each filled with a deep red liquid, which was none other than Deer Blood Wine.
"Deer Blood Elixir is a peculiar medicinal wine that I made using ancient Herbal Cuisine methods. The main ingredient is the blood from the head of a Silverhorn Antelope, combined with aged fine wine, which was left to me by my father. My willingness to share it shows my respect for all of you," Fatty said, stepping forward with stirring words that moved everyone.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Fatty smiled and said, "Then let’s not wait any longer; come and taste the essence of the Cold Eight Dishes!"
Waving his hand, Fatty instructed the attendants to distribute the wine cups. Once they were handed out, he added, "Dear guests, our Chef has instructed that after drinking this blood wine, you should taste the Cold Eight Dishes in reverse order."
"What does this mean?"
The gentlemen present were puzzled; even Fatty had not heard of this and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not quite sure either; it's what the Chef instructed," the attendant replied.
Clearly unaware of its meaning, Fatty and the others could only comply and follow Lin's method.
At the main guest table, Master Yun appeared thoughtful as he took the segmented platter that had been re-served by the attendants, which already contained the dishes arranged in reverse order.
As the most authoritative gourmet present, Master Yun's words would serve as the official evaluation of this Feast.
Master Yun lifted his cup of Deer Blood Wine, inhaling its aroma. The scent carried a faintly bloody sweetness unique to blood wine. He had consumed enough of this type of wine to determine by smell alone that it was of high quality.
Without further ado, Master Yun took a sip of the blood wine and savored it before slowly closing his eyes. "Good wine; paired with fresh antelope blood, this can be considered an exquisite product."
Having finished it in one gulp, Master Yun raised his head and asked, "Can I have another cup?"
"I'm sorry, esteemed guest," replied the attendant. "Our Chef has advised that this wine has a strong aftereffect; it's best to limit yourself to just one cup."
Hearing this, Master Yun nodded. "That makes sense. Although it's good wine, one shouldn't overindulge. The amount in one cup must have been calculated by your Chef for its benefits—relaxing muscles and invigorating blood circulation; that's the purpose of medicinal wine."
Afterward, Master Yun did not ask for more but picked up his chopsticks to taste the dishes again in reverse order.
When he picked up the first dish, Master Yun did not notice anything unusual; it still had that familiar flavor. However, he felt a bit dizzy, indicating that the effects of the wine were kicking in.
Then came the second dish, followed by the third...
When he reached the fourth dish, Master Yun suddenly widened his eyes. His face was flushed, and he murmured softly, "This is... this feeling is..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Master Yun quickly picked up the next dish and took a careful bite. After finishing it, he continued to grab another dish.
It wasn't until he finished the Snow Country Platter that Master Yun finally stopped. He exhaled deeply, the scent of alcohol wafting from his nose. His face was now a deep red, and his eyes were bloodshot, clearly intoxicated.
"The feeling of racing across the snowy mountains..."
He whispered as he closed his eyes, seemingly lost in a daydream with a smile on his lips.
Seeing Master Yun like this, others quickly followed suit, drinking the Deer Blood Elixir and starting to enjoy those dishes again.
As they tasted the Cold Eight Dishes once more, everyone was unable to put down their chopsticks just like Master Yun, eagerly finishing all the dishes in one go.
After they finished eating, everyone marveled!
"Remarkable! It's simply amazing. These dishes that originally tasted flat turned out to be so wonderful when eaten together."
"This is true skill! My taste buds are overwhelmed!"
The guests were astonished because the flavors had changed; these ordinary dishes suddenly became delicious, and everyone discussed this miraculous taste.
As outsiders, they could only express how tasty it was, feeling that the flavors had undergone a magical transformation, but they had no idea how it happened.
"Because eating them in reverse order causes the seasonings to change in your mouth. The last dish gives a strange sensation. Hmm, how should I put it? Originally, these dishes tasted flat and bland in my mouth, but when I ate them a second time, they suddenly became rich and juicy, as if I were a grass-loving rabbit?"
As a semi-professional food critic, Fatty managed to articulate this miraculous change as he spoke to the Camera.
"Exactly! It's not just about the order of seasonings; the Deer Blood Wine is key. This wine isn't simply made from deer blood mixed with alcohol; there must be other ingredients involved. It has a strong aftereffect that stimulates one's taste buds and nerves, even causing slight intoxication that leads to flights of fancy. So after tasting those parts of the deer, you might imagine yourself as a deer."
Poverty Old Man continued explaining. He paused for a moment and added, "Deer eat grass; naturally, they find their food delicious!"
With this realization, everyone nodded in agreement. Poverty Old Man was right. At the same time, everyone wanted to eat again, but the portions were fixed, and the Cold Eight Dishes had already been cleared.
Once the commotion settled down, Master Yun slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was filled with admiration.
"That's right, you all must be right. Chef is indeed impressive; he uses the combination of spices to stimulate the taste buds, making the sweetness of the vegetables exceptionally vibrant. This results in the Snow Country Platter, a dish that tastes as sweet as if it were from a fairyland."
"A deer! The chef's intention is to make us feel like a deer!"
Master Yun did not hold back his praise, as the experience just now was simply magical. In those few short minutes, he had a sweet dream.
He transformed into a Silverhorn Antelope about to reach adulthood, galloping across the snowy ground of the Snowy Mountain. He searched for food that could fill his belly, feasting on the rich and juicy grass...
"I'm sorry, I take back my earlier comments. This Feast, although not particularly outstanding in culinary skills, showcases the chef's level of artistry, which is absolutely the highest I have ever seen. What I said earlier was wrong."
Facing Poverty Old Man, Master Yun stood up solemnly and slightly bowed in apology.
Beside him, Poverty Old Man quickly replied, "No need for that! You're being too serious, Master Yun!"
"Wu Yu, you have a good disciple. This Whole Deer Feast must be recorded in my personal notes, and I will feature it prominently on my homepage!"
"Given time, your disciple will surely become a rising star in the Culinary World!"
Listening to Master Yun, Poverty Old Man couldn't help but smile widely. Although he kept saying, "You're exaggerating! You're exaggerating!", his eyes were filled with joy and pride.
What Master Yun said today marked a crucial step for Lin in the entire Culinary World. With Master Yun's Recommendation, the name "Lin" will resonate throughout the three Great Star Sea of the Culinary World in the coming years!
