"Let's put the food battle in a month. After all, no matter what kind of century soup you choose, the ingredients are not easy to prepare, and... after all, it's my signature dish. I'll treat you to a taste this time! But I also have an extra request..."

Jieno said, looking at Liu Maoxing and Xiaosong, and then continued: "As for the referees, you will be the referees. There are exactly three people." He was talking about A Lu, Xiaosong and Guan Liyuan.

"Eh? Can we really do it? This is a cooking duel of your level..." Xiaosong said hesitantly.

"Of course! 'Delicious' is a common feeling among humans. It's not only those who are full of adjectives and metaphors who know what delicious is." Jieno said.

"My extra request is... After you taste my century soup this time, remember this feeling deeply for me. One month later, you only need to taste Chef Liu's century soup again!" Jieno said.

"Hey... I thought I could taste Grandma Jieno's century soup twice." A Lu wiped his saliva and said with some regret.

"If I'm in a good mood, I can make it for you again, but... who can say for sure? Ha ha ha..." Jie Nai said.

"You're so willful." A Lu couldn't help but say.

"No, it's not me who's willful... You don't think that the so-called 'good mood' refers to my mood, right? I mean we have to wait until the ingredients are in a good mood." Jie Nai explained.

Although her eyelids are so old that they seem unable to open, Guan Liyuan feels that she is always looking at the two chefs, Liu Maoxing and Xiaosong, so he speculates... Jie Nai also wants to give them some pointers on cooking concepts.

But not to mention Xiaosong, Guan Liyuan feels that it is absolutely unnecessary to want to give Liu Maoxing some pointers on cooking concepts...

If it's a skill he doesn't know, even if he is not allowed to learn, he will find a way to figure it out himself, but as for cooking concepts... Liu Maoxing already has his own concepts and his own cooking heart, and will not be instilled by others.

Sure enough, after hearing Jieno's words, Xiaosong showed a thoughtful look, and Liu Maoxing... was still waiting for Jieno's century soup with great interest.

Guan Liyuan was also very much looking forward to Jieno's century soup. Jieno, who was making soup, seemed to be stirring an empty pot... If Guan Liyuan hadn't been able to feel the abnormal air in the pot, the sound of the liquid flowing, and most importantly, the aroma of the soup, he would not have noticed that there was soup in the pot!

The color of this soup is as clear and transparent as water, and its refractive index of light is closer to air than water...

However, the complexity of the taste is completely opposite to its clear and transparent appearance!

With Guan Liyuan's tongue, he can no longer distinguish what these tastes are, or it can be said that his "tongue" has completely stopped thinking and collapsed in it, as if he is a dead fat otaku who is addicted to the ocean of books...

Is it redundant because of the complex taste?

Not at all! At this moment, Guan Liyuan seemed to be in a page of a historical scroll, and saw the rise and fall of the entire ecosystem!

And more importantly...

Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing's bodies reacted more intensely to the Century Soup!

Ah Lu was immersed in the deliciousness of the Century Soup, but he didn't notice it. When he came to his senses, he found that Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing beside him seemed to be more robust before, and he could even vaguely hear the excited cheers of their gourmet cells...

How sorry do you usually feel for your gourmet cells?

After Ah Lu drank the Century Soup made by Grandma Jie Nai, although his gourmet cells also evolved, the scale was far less exaggerated, not as good as when he tasted the gem meat before!

"Huh? You are worthy of being the descendants of the gourmet world. It turns out that before..." Jie Nai muttered in a low voice, and Ah Lu didn't hear it clearly in surprise. That's right

, Jie Nai already knew the "life experience" of Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing at this time. After all, it was all recorded, and he also understood why their gourmet cells were so sensitive to their Century Soup.

This is related to the evolutionary mechanism of gourmet cells. When eating ingredients that have never been eaten before, the stimulation of gourmet cells is the most intense.

For example, "gem meat" has the properties of many different ingredients, equivalent to a mixture of hundreds of meat ingredients below level 50, so it has a remarkable effect in promoting evolution.

And Jie No's century soup uses ingredients that were discovered or newly cultivated in the century from 200 to 100 years ago as the raw materials for the soup...

The ingredients in the human world probably also have an adaptation cycle of 100 years.

Many of these ingredients that were very "rare" 200 years ago are the main consumers in the last 100 years, and can even be said to be common ingredients in the human world!

Although some of the ingredients with high capture levels cannot be consumed by ordinary people after 100 years, most of them have been captured by A Lu!

Therefore, this century soup is indeed very delicious for A Lu, but the increase in gourmet cells is not so obvious.

On the contrary, Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing lack these ingredients that can quickly make up for the "foundation", so their gourmet cells are greatly improved instantly!

It gave A-lu a feeling of "How come these two people have never eaten anything?"

Jie Nai saw the principle, but misunderstood the reason. She probably thought that Liu Maoxing and Guan Liyuan had not tasted much of the ingredients in the human world because they had lived in some unique secret places in the food world before.

"How is it?" Jie Nai interrupted and asked when everyone was about to lick the plates.

"It's so delicious! I've decided that after a month... I will use your century soup as the soup dish in the menu of life!" Guan Liyuan said the second half of the sentence to Liu Maoxing.

The implication seemed to be that Liu Maoxing could make a comparable century soup.

"Wow, very confident young people... How about this, I will reduce the difficulty for you, go and see how the real back kitchen of an old woman is?" Jie Nai said.

After that, Guan Liyuan and the other four followed Jie Nai... to the underground of "Jie Nai Canteen", but it was not a basement or something like that!

"This underground part is the main body of the canteen, right?" Guan Liyuan felt that he was no longer able to complain.

Compared to the simplicity above, the underground seems like a secret base of some organization, with all kinds of high-tech equipment and high-grade ingredients. The area alone is comparable to a square, and it is divided into several floors...

and Guan Liyuan could vaguely guess that Setsu's intention was not just for the so-called "food battle". On the one hand, it was to support the newcomers, and on the other hand, he probably wanted to guide Komatsu and Liu Maoxing to find the real century soup!
