"Boss Mag received the first vote!"

The crowd got a little excited. They hadn't expected President Robert who was still lavishing praises on the sour beef bone broth shortly before would choose 'Buddha jumps over the wall' in a flash.

"Thank you." Mag nodded at Robert as a form of gratitude.

Is it really so delicious? Jeffree looked at the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' in front of him doubtfully. However, he still fed a spoonful of it into his mouth.

The fresh soup slowly blossomed in the mouth, and the taste of all the ingredients slowly entered the stage, catching the taste buds by surprise.

Undeniably, this was indeed an astonishing scrumptiousness.

However, this taste was simply too complicated to him. His taste buds were even a little tired trying to distinguish the different tastes. Hence, he lost his peaceful mind to enjoy the food.

"This is indeed a soup with abundant tastes. It has an astonishing scrumptiousness, and brings along a very amazing dining experience." Jeffree put down his spoon, and calmly said, "However, to me, the sour beef bone broth's taste is irreplaceable. A simple combination and a simple warmth and scrumptiousness are my choice. Therefore, I choose the sour beef bone broth."

"1:1. It's a tie!"

After Jeffree made his judgement, it became a tie, and the atmosphere instantly tensed up too. Which one of the two soups of two distinct styles was going to win? Everyone's gaze focused on the remaining three judges.

Novan picked up his spoon to drink a mouthful of soup first. After enjoying it silently for a while, he fed a piece of chicken into his mouth, and tasted it carefully. He chuckled. "Boss Mag's 'Buddha jumps over the wall' is truly amazing. The rich and aromatic scrumptious soup and the tender but not mushy chicken meat all released a delicious taste. However, I'm still going to choose sour beef bone broth. Having a bowl of sour soup like this winter could always bring back warm memories. It, too, is a taste that can't be replaced in my heart."

"The sour beef bone broth is in the lead!"

The crowd was taken aback. The sour beef bone broth that was suppressed by the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' in terms of aroma was actually leading against 'Buddha jumps over the wall' now. Hence, tastewise, the sour beef bone broth was still very formidable.

"Oh dear, Boss' 'Buddha jumps over the wall' is actually falling behind," Yabemiya nervously said.

"I suspect they are playing us," Babla guessed, holding her chin.

Elizabeth shook her head, and said, "Given their status, they don't have to do things like that."

Everyone from the restaurant who initially thought they could rest easy after presenting the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' began to get nervous now.

People's gazes landed on Michael and Scheer. The decision now lay with the two of them.

Michael was already enjoying himself. A mouthful of soup followed by a mouthful of meat. His expression was so animated and full of enjoyment that the audience couldn't help gulping.

"I didn't expect City Lord Michael to have a natural talent for mukbang¹." Abraham chuckled.

"Uncle, who do you think is going to win this duel?" Vanessa asked nervously.

"'Buddha jumps over the wall' is the most scrumptious soup that I've ever tasted, and I believe it is a pinnacle that can't be surpassed. But everyone's taste is different, that's why Principal Novan chose the sour beef bone broth. As for what City Lord Michael and Miss Scheer would choose, I really have no idea at all." Abraham shook his head with a smile, and lamented, "This really is a battle of the titans. I've never seen such an exciting culinary duel before."

Vanessa nodded. "Indeed, it is. Two of my favorite chefs are actually having a duel on the spot right now. It indeed is a match that lives up to my expectations, but the outcome is making me so nervous."

Michael finished half the bowl of 'Buddha jumps over the wall' within a short time, and he couldn't bear to put down his spoon. He said to Harris, "The sour beef bone broth should've been the tastiest soup on the Norland Continent for the past 30 over years, and it has never been surpassed. It has always maintained its original taste, moving toward perfection with minute changes. By now, it is, without a doubt, an astonishingly delicious soup.

"Therefore, I choose 'Buddha jumps over the wall'."

The audience who thought the city lord was going to announce Harris as the winner were shocked by his sudden change.

"2:2. It's a tie!"

Everyone looked nervous. Some were even wiping their sweat away.

Nobody could expect a culinary duel could make them so nervous.

Everyone's gazes landed on Scheer. Now, her last vote would decide the final result of this duel.

Sheer furrowed her brows slightly with a slight headache. How did the right to decide come back to her again? She suddenly regretted that she didn't quickly take a bite and declare her choice so she wouldn't be in a predicament now.

However, she swiftly adjusted her attitude. After all, this was a regular competition, and concerned the honor of the two chefs and perhaps even their seniority.

Be it Harris or Mag, they were both chefs that she respected. She had to remove all subjective factors, and make an objective judgment on these two dishes.

Getting rid of the distractions, her gaze landed on that bowl of 'Buddha jumps over the wall'. There were all kinds of ingredients in the brown soup. Even though they had been simmering in the urn for a long time, they still managed to maintain their shape.

Whiffs of the scent made her eyes light up. Seafood, mushrooms, meat… there were so many aromas that she couldn't distinctively differentiate what they were, but this didn't stop her from immersing herself in this feeling of abundant layers.

Different from the simple taste of the sour beef bone broth, 'Buddha jumps over the wall' was an extremely exquisite hodgepodge. The careful use of the ingredients and perfect heat made all the ingredients stick to their own territory and achieve the extreme freshness before they were intertwined together in an amazing way to create that special and beautiful taste.

"I will taste the soup first." Scheer picked up the spoon to taste the brown soup. She blew at it gently before putting it into her mouth.

The tasty soup slowly seeped through her taste buds gently like a feather caressing them, and nourished them like the spring rain.

Abruptly, it felt like the sudden thunder in spring.

The freshness of the seafood, the richness of the meat, the fragrance of the mushrooms… All the tastes of the different ingredients slowly entered the stage, and released their amazing tastes on her tongue. The abundant layers seemed to be playing a mesmerizing ensemble on the tip of her tongue.

"This incredible taste! It's simply awe-inspiring." Scheer couldn't help praising after swallowing the soup.

Looking at the semi-transparent shark fins floating in the soup, she couldn't resist scooping one up curiously. The soup had given her a huge surprise, so she wondered how this shark fin would fare.

Slurp.

The slippery shark fin glided into her mouth instantly. The shark fin that had absorbed all the broth had a very amazing texture and wonderful taste. It was soft and tender, yet had a very rich meaty aroma. Before she could chew, it glided down her throat, and she swallowed it.

"Ah…"

Scheer touched her throat with a weird expression. This odd texture.
