"Is this...the level of strength of the Yuanyue Ten Heroes?"

Yukihira Soma looked at the clear jasper soup in front of him, and just smelling the fragrant smell made his mouth water.

You must know that he heard that even if the person in front of him has reserved a seat for the top ten, he has not yet truly received the education of Totsuki High School.

Like him, she just graduated from junior high school!

"Light as water, with restrained aroma."

Yukihira Seiichiro saw his son's surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he commented on the dishes in front of him.

Kiri Erina looked happy.

"Based on the color and shape of your soup, it's no less than the soups of many long-established high-end restaurants in Kyoto!"

You must know that Kyoto Gono is the capital of Higashi Sakura Island and one of the largest cities in the Far East. It connects the two food camps of the East and the West. The high-end restaurants that can establish themselves here are at least hosted by chefs with eight or nine stars.

Kiri Erina, who is still a student, can actually make soups that are comparable to the standards of these restaurants. No wonder the entire Higashi Sakurasu cuisine world regards her as a treasure.

I think she will be the figure who will lead the entire Tozakura cuisine world after the Food Demon King.

Not to mention her 'divine tongue' that is as good as the God of Cooking, she can detect all the flaws in even high-end cuisine.

She has become the food supervisor of countless famous restaurants in Kyoto, and her words can determine the life or death of a restaurant.

"Let me have a taste, Erina, have you made any progress recently?"

Kirisenzaemon picked up the spoon and scooped up a puddle of soup on the plate, as if he had opened a spoonful of clear spring. The closer it was to his mouth, the more intoxicating the breath of spring became.

"Well!"

Just after putting it in, a pure flavor exploded. Countless delicate flavors stacked up and exploded, turning into a whirlwind, sucking Kirisenzaemon into it.

It's like entering a dance in a spring garden.

Kirisenzaemon seemed to be dancing so much in the spring that the clothes on his body even showed signs of damage.

"This is...the Commander-in-Chief's shirt bursting!!"

Watching Kirisenzaemon take a sip of soup at the door, Erina's secret technique, Shinto Hisako, couldn't help but exclaim.

After all, if it can make the Food Demon King's clothes explode unconsciously, it means that the dish has completely reached the realm of must-have dishes.

In fact, Kiri Erina has not fully grasped the true meaning of this realm. Being able to use it this time proves that she has indeed made progress!

"It actually made me feel a breath of spring and see a spring dance!"

"Erina, you have made progress again!"

"I didn't even feel a trace of impurities in the soup. It has a perfect taste!"

Kirisenzaemon looked at his granddaughter in surprise, and then turned to look at Seiichiro Yukihira.

But he saw that he had put down the spoon, and there were traces of being shocked by the soup on his face. Yukihira Soma was even more shocked and had beads of sweat all over his body.

"Why does this soup have no peculiar smell at all? It is full of the taste of various spring vegetables, wrapped in a mellow soup flavor, and finally blooms on the tip of the tongue."

"That faint fragrance makes people unable to get out of it at all, and they just want to indulge in it!"

Then he looked at his father.

"Dad, when she stirred like that, she didn't break the ingredients. Why is the soup still so clear?"

Seiichiro patted the excited Soma, but instead of answering his doubts, he focused his gaze on Erina's face.

"Did you use tofu in your raft?"

Raft is the key to making French clear soup. Traditionally, various vegetables, minced meat, egg whites, and tomatoes are stirred together, then put into the vegetable soup. After boiling, simmer slowly over the lowest heat.

A layer of material will form on the surface.

This layer of material will absorb all the impurities and fats that roll up.

The preparation method of Yaozhou's topping soup is also very similar, but the topping soup uses minced chicken to absorb impurities.

But Erina's "Spring Waltz" is different. She also creatively added tofu to absorb impurities. Tofu is an ingredient that absorbs fat very well.

Especially in soups, once added, the fat and oil will be quickly absorbed, but the taste of tofu itself will also be very obvious in light soups.

But in Erina's soup, the flavor of the vegetables turns the tofu into an embellished aroma, without any obtrusiveness, making it even more difficult to distinguish.

Erina was very generous when she heard Yukihira Seiichiro's question. Her handling method was so exquisite that even if she knew about adding tofu, it would not be possible to crack it.

"right!"

Just when Erina nodded, Seiichiro sighed and sat down.

"Why..."

A strange light flashed in Kirisenzaemon's eyes.

"What's wrong, Seiichiro, is there something wrong?"

Shaking his head, Seiichiro told the truth.

"Erina's soup has an almost flawless taste and a spring breeze in her face. She is even on the way to find the prototype of her own cooking heart. She can even have a place among the top ten of our time."

"But..."

No matter how high the previous evaluation was, when the word ‘but’ appeared, everything became a foreshadowing.

"She shouldn't be the first to serve!"

"Even if she wants to build a delicious barrier, she still has to consider one thing: what kind of food is her opponent going to prepare..."

At this moment, a hot smell occupied the air of the shop, like a bomb about to explode, destroying the elegant spring scenery created by Erina.

Just like the hot summer after spring!

"Activating the taste buds of the judges may actually become an assist for...the opponent!"

As soon as Seiichiro Yukihira finished speaking, taking advantage of the rolling heat wave and the white mist-like steam, Zhao Youqian also came to the table with his own dishes.

After placing the steamer, Zhao Youqian looked at the diners in front of him with a confident smile.

"Since you've had the soup, you should be hungry too."

"Come and taste my...Journey to the Flame Mountains!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Youqian had already opened the cage and learned the lesson from the last competition. Although he could not contain all the smells, he could make all the smells explode at the most perfect time.

Suddenly the temperature in the entire small store suddenly exploded, like a burning flaming lotus appearing in front of several people.

"Hoo, ho, ho!"

Kirisenzaemon started breathing heavily after just one glance.

"What a domineering smell this has!"

Miss Erina's face was already ashen.

'This domineering taste...'

Just by relying on her sense of smell, she had already noticed the horror of Zhao Yougan's dish. Just as Seiichiro Yukihira said, it suppressed the taste of her previous soup!
