"Can you smell that aroma?"
At the judges' table, a middle-aged man with glasses softly began to speak!
Upon hearing his query, another judge seated beside him replied, "Yes, I smell it. It's the scent of chicken and there's also the smell of medicinal herbs!"
"Indeed, it's truly appetite-stimulating!"
"I'm looking forward to tasting it myself shortly!"
As they spoke among themselves, the middle-aged man nodded and continued, "But don't you all find it strange? The chef had just boiled the chicken in clear water! Logically, it shouldn't smell this amazing!"
"I also think it's a bit odd!"
"Don't think too much about it, we'll find out soon enough!"
"Right!"
"Indeed!"
The middle-aged man nodded in response to these words and didn't dwell on it further...
Of course, in that moment, their anticipation for the chicken stewing in the pot grew even more!
