"Old Master Tang, Butler Zhang, Dad, Mom, and Mengmeng, please have a seat. Let me introduce you to these dishes first," Jiang Ning said, his face beaming as his gaze swept across the group.
Hearing this, everyone snapped out of their trance, captivated by the intoxicating aroma of the food.
To be honest, Jiang Ning's culinary skills had improved at an almost supernatural pace, growing more impressive with each passing day.
This was all thanks to the System's miraculous assistance. Even the daily chores of washing vegetables, cleaning the kitchen, and scrubbing dishes had continuously boosted his cooking prowess.
Now, Jiang Ning's skills had firmly entered the late-stage Grandmaster realm.
Combined with the premium ingredients used today, the dishes were so visually stunning and fragrant that they nearly stole one's soul. No wonder everyone had been acting like they were in a trance, greedily inhaling the air filled with the aroma.
"This dish is called the Golden Truffle Feast. It primarily uses Arborio rice, specifically for Italian Alba white truffle risotto. I first simmered it slowly in carefully prepared chicken broth, until the grains were perfectly tender and chewy.
Just before serving, I thinly shaved fresh Alba white truffles into translucent slices and evenly layered them over the risotto."
"I've also sprinkled some finely chopped Chicken Mushrooms on top. This adds a wild, earthy aroma to the risotto, creating a complex and layered texture. You get the rich, earthy fragrance of the white truffles, along with the refreshing taste of the Chicken Mushrooms... Everyone, please try it!"
Jiang Ning gestured to the "Golden Truffle Feast," clearly explaining not only the ingredients but also the preparation process, and even describing its texture and aroma in vivid detail.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone reached for the dish. Some picked up a small piece of Chicken Mushroom, while others carefully spooned a portion of the Alba white truffle risotto into their mouths.
The moment a small bite of the "Golden Truffle Feast" touched their tongues, everyone felt as if they had suddenly fallen into a fantastical world of culinary delight.
The risotto's soft, chewy texture melted instantly on their tongues, the rich chicken broth coating each grain of rice and bursting onto their taste buds in a wave of flavor.
The unique, intoxicating aroma of the fresh Alba white truffles erupted like a lively olfactory party, filling their mouths and even wafting up through their noses, leaving them utterly intoxicated.
The delicate aroma of the chicken mushrooms cut through the rich truffle flavor like a refreshing breeze, creating a perfectly balanced and harmonious blend of tastes.
Su Yunlong was the first to exclaim in satisfaction. "Ah, this bite! It feels like every cell in my body has come alive! The truffle flavor is absolutely divine, and pairing it with the rice and mushrooms... simply perfect!"
Tang Xiachuan closed his eyes, savoring the taste for a long moment before slowly saying, "I've judged so many Chef God competitions and tasted the signature dishes of countless top chefs, but this dish... it's left an indelible mark on my heart. Every nuance hits the perfect spot on my taste buds. Jiang Ning, you're truly extraordinary!"
Butler Zhang Haichen nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with delight. "Master Jiang's culinary skills have reached the pinnacle of perfection. This dish would undoubtedly win the Chef God competition!"
Liu Mengyan took a small sip, her eyes full of pride. "Jiang Ning, your cooking never fails to surprise us. Xiao Meng and Mengmeng are so lucky to have such a talented chef in the family."
Su Meng didn't hold back her praise. "Honey, I knew you wouldn't disappoint! This dish is so good, it should be patented! It's absolutely delicious!"
Mengmeng's big, round eyes were wide, her mouth stuffed full as she mumbled indistinctly, "Daddy's food is the best in the whole world! Mengmeng wants to eat lots and lots!"
Laughter and chatter echoed through the dining room. Jiang Ning smiled and gestured to the second dish. "This is called 'Deep Sea Jade Treasure.' It uses the finest bluefin tuna belly. This meat is so rich and tender, it melts in your mouth."
"It's paired with a meticulously simmered sauce made from deep-sea seaweed, and topped with fresh sea urchin roe."
"The sea urchin's sweet and savory flavor clashes with the tuna's rich depth, while the seaweed sauce adds a unique salty-umami note. It's like tasting the entire ocean in one bite. Everyone, please try it."
The group eagerly picked up their chopsticks. The bluefin tuna belly, upon entering the mouth, felt so delicate and smooth, like a gentle caress on the tongue. A slight press and it dissolved into a burst of savory juice.
The sea urchin roe's sweet and briny explosion was like the first flower blooming in spring, a fresh and intense shock to the taste buds.
The savory and umami-rich seaweed sauce perfectly balanced the two flavors, creating a complex and satisfying texture that felt like being transported to the vast ocean, fully savoring its bounty.
Tang Xiachuan, wolfing down his food, gave a thumbs-up. "The quality of this tuna belly is simply flawless. And this unique combination... Jiang Ning, your creativity is incredible! I'm telling you, you're going to win the Chef God Competition tomorrow!"
Su Yunlong, also thoroughly enjoying his meal, chimed in, "This flavor is so authentic. I've never had such delicious tuna at high-end restaurants abroad. Jiang Ning, did you record the cooking process?"
"Don't worry, Dad. I recorded it all," Jiang Ning replied with a smile.
Su Yunlong nodded in satisfaction.
Liu Mengyan watched everyone happily eating, her eyes filled with warmth. "This meal was truly a feast. No wonder Xiao Meng's dad has been pestering me to visit you these past few days."
"Ahem, Xiao Meng's mom, stop bringing that up. If I hadn't pestered you, would you have gotten to eat such a delicious meal today?" Su Yunlong retorted, his face flushing crimson with embarrassment.
Su Meng sat beside Jiang Ning, her face beaming with affection. "Honey, I'm worried it's going to be hard for me to stay in shape from now on. With your cooking, I'm afraid I'll end up getting so fat!"
Jiang Ning quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, Mengmeng. My dishes aren't too oily. Just exercise a little every day and don't overeat, and you'll be fine. Even if you do gain a little weight, your husband won't mind at all."
Su Meng pouted. "Hmph, I don't want to get fat!"
Mengmeng, her face smeared with sauce, kept urging, "Daddy, Mengmeng wants more! More of this little fishy!"
"Right away, sweetie!" Jiang Ning smiled as he placed several pieces of tuna on her plate. "Eat slowly, okay?"
Amidst the cheerful laughter, Jiang Ning continued to introduce the remaining dishes, each one looking like a meticulously crafted work of art.
Everyone's taste buds were immersed in this unparalleled culinary feast, and the gathering, enhanced by these exquisite dishes, was filled with warmth and happiness.
Content smiles lit up every face as they fully savored this rare and wonderful moment together.
