Chapter 2473: Stir-fried Kidney
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“A helping of live Medusa’s kidney!”
The judges’ expressions became interesting when they saw the ingredients that Mag chose.
!!
It wasn’t rare that a 10th-tier magic beast was used as an ingredient in this elite circle.
However, Medusa was simply too precious and extremely rare. Only two or three of the judges had tried it before.
“Contestant Hades’ ingredient choice today is shocking. Medusa is an extremely precious ingredient. I have tasted it once. Its scrumptious taste is memorable and its price is equally memorable.” David smilingly said, “I just wonder what dish Contestant Hades is going to make with a snake’s kidney.”
“Wow! It’s a completely unexpected choice. Medusa is an extremely precious ingredient. A Medusa was auctioned three months ago. Its price was 300,000,000!”
“OMG! I’ve made it now. I can actually see a meal that costs 300,000,000!”
“Accurately speaking, it’s just a helping of Medusa’s kidney. It doesn’t cost 300,000,000. However, with the premise of freshness, they indeed have to kill a Medusa that costs 300,000,000 to get the kidney.”
“If I remember correctly, the Medusa was bought by the McCarthy Family three months ago.”
The audience’s enthusiasm was fired up. An ingredient of this level wasn’t something that ordinary folks could get in touch with. They could only see it in such competitions.
“This…”
Johnny was stunned. Miss Nancy decided the competition’s rules today. Given the McCarthy Family’s power and the Top Chef Competition’s current influence, as long as the ingredient was in Underground City, there should be no problem getting it to the arena within 10 minutes.
However, Mag was asking for a live Medusa’s kidney. His assistant had just researched the rareness of this thing for him.
This magic beast was vicious and violent. Adult Medusas that were brought back to Tucker City live were rare. He wasn’t confident that he could get this thing into the studio within 10 minutes.
However, since the programming division had said it, if they couldn’t produce the ingredient that was written in front of billions of a live-streaming audience, it would be very embarrassing.
“Miss Nancy, we have checked. There’s only one live Medusa that was brought back to Tucker City live in the past year, and it was bought by Miss Norma of your family. Do you think…” Johnny said to Nancy telepathically in panic with carefully chosen words.
“Norma?” Nancy frowned. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Leave this to me. The snake’s kidney will be delivered to the studio within 10 minutes.”
“I appreciate your help,” Johnny quickly said, and then got the producer to cut away Nancy’s scene. Nancy had already left the stage. She should be going to get the snake’s kidney.
Miss Norma and Miss Nancy were half-sisters with the same father. They were both direct descendents of the McCarthy Family with a noble status.
However, according to rumors, these two didn’t have a harmonious relationship.
Johnny was also worried. He didn’t know if Miss Nancy could get the snake’s kidney from Norma successfully. If she failed, he still had to come up with a solution.
He was feeling very regretful now. He actually failed to do a simple communication with the contestants beforehand. He could have at least set a perimeter for the contestants behind the scene. He was being too careless.
As an experienced variety show’s director, he committed such a juvenile mistake because he was being overconfident.
Mag continued to write down a few more side ingredients and spices. Compared to Medusa’s kidney, the other ingredients looked very normal. He didn’t make things hard for the programming division at all.
Mag felt like choosing the dragon’s kidney when he chose the Medusa snake’s kidney.
Compared to the Norland Continent’s giant dragons that had wings, in Mag’s heart, the Medusa which resembled a snake1, matched the dragon’s image in his heart more.
Anyway, it was the programming division that made the boast, he didn’t care if they could get it or not.
After the ingredients’ selection was over, the emcee received Johnny’s request to delay, so he continued to say, “Alright, now that the contestants have chosen their ingredients, we need to wait approximately 10 minutes as some of the ingredients are too precious and we have to go and get it from somewhere else. The countdown for the competition will only start after the ingredients are delivered.”
“Seems like the programming division is being too careless. They actually want hundreds of millions of people to wait for 10 minutes.”
“What a joke. I guess the director didn’t expect Hades to choose the Medusa snake’s kidney, right?”
“This year’s Top Chef Competition is destined to be a classic.”
The audience wasn’t angry because they needed to wait. Instead, they were feeling a hint of schädenfreude. 2
This was a program’s live-stream. Hundreds of millions of people were waiting. Of course, they couldn’t just wait with nothing to do.
Hence, all the judges began to make the atmosphere lively, so the waiting time wouldn’t be so boring.
Three minutes later, Nancy returned to the judges’ table and nodded to Johnny.
Johnny heaved a breath of relief. Only then could he relax.
However, Miss Nancy should have paid a high price for it. This would most likely be counted on Hades.
Mag stood there quietly and calmly, watching for the judges putting up a show.
Then, he sensed a gaze that was staring at him with his peripheral vision. It was subtle, yet intense.
“Is this lass really mesmerized by my beauty and unable get herself out of it?” Mag raised his eyebrows slightly. A shallow woman would only see his beautiful skin and not his interesting soul.
Around 10 minutes later, the ingredients were sent to the work benches one by one.
All the ingredients that cost over 100,000 had their own close-up shot to let the audience see the precious ingredients clearly.
The last to appear was the Medusa snake’s kidney. This snake’s kidney was sparkling like a ruby. There was a faint exotic fragrance as soon as it was presented.
There was still some golden blood inside the snake’s kidney that seemed to be still flowing. It looked like it was presented as soon as it was slaughtered.
“It’s indeed a top tier ingredient. It’s already so fragrant before it’s cooked. It’s so enticing.” David praised. “I only got to eat a frozen piece of the snake meat previously. It indeed couldn’t compare to a freshly-killed one.”
“The snake’s kidney can be considered as one of the best parts of the Medusa snake. It is usually cooked with the pan frying or steaming methods. I wonder which method Contestant Hades will choose and what kind of snake’s kidney dish he will present,” Old Hunter said with great anticipation.
“The ingredients are already presented and the competition officially starts now. The countdown is two hours. Contestants, please start now!” The emcee announced the start of the competition.
Mag studied the snake’s kidney in front of him closely. It was indeed a top tier ingredient. Although the kidney was taken just after it was slaughtered, it didn’t have any bloody smell. Instead, it had a faint fragrance that made one want to take a bite out of it, even though it was raw.
The snake’s kidney was as big as an adult’s palm. It was equivalent to six or seven pig’s kidneys. It was enough to make a helping of stir-fried snake’s kidney.
Yes. On today’s final, he intended to let the people of Underground City witness the charm of stir-frying.
