Chapter 446: The Outcome Is Decided, Shengzai Wins Overwhelmingly!

The moment the clear soup went down her throat, Erina even felt like she had fallen into a fairyland on earth.

Surrounded by high mountains and flowing water, layers of forests and peaks, Erina, who was in the mountains, felt the breeze blowing on her face, but immediately after, accompanied by a loud cry from the sky.

Erina, who looked up at the sky, saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

I saw a huge strange bird with five tails, after passing through layers of clouds, suddenly reborn from the fire and turned into a huge golden phoenix.

Its original five tails gradually turned into the golden tail feathers of the phoenix in the clouds, and under the cover of flames, the feathers on its body also became dazzling, bringing the temperament of the king of all birds into full play.

And after one cry after another that resounded through the clouds, the phoenix reborn from the fire in the sky finally fell onto a giant cabbage.

The moment the phoenix fell, the cabbage, which originally looked plain and unremarkable, began to undergo rapid transformation under the rendering of the phoenix's aura and flames, until it turned into a paulownia tree that was also golden and dazzling.

Looking at the phoenix exuding a noble and sacred aura, Erina only felt that such a divine bird could only be looked up to from afar; even if she approached one step closer, it would be a blasphemy against the divine beast.

And the arrival of the divine bird phoenix also filled the whole earth with rosy clouds and holiness; Erina, who was shrouded in the sacred light of the phoenix, only felt warm all over, and even the fatigue on her body disappeared without a trace.

When she opened her eyes again, she realized that everything just now was just an illusion.

But the warm feeling in her body was preserved.

"Phoenix falling on paulownia, Chinese mythological legend..."

And while Erina was looking at the "Boiled Cabbage" in front of her with a surprised look, Gin Tangdao, who was sitting beside her, also put down the soup spoon in his hand and murmured like this.

Obviously, it was not just her alone who saw the phoenix and the paulownia tree.

And soon, the reactions of other Totsuki Ten Master graduates also proved this point.

After drinking the first sip of soup, the Ten Master graduates who acted as judges all had extremely surprised expressions on their faces.

Obviously, they also didn't expect that Shengzai's dish could reach this level.

"What exactly is that feeling of warming the body?"

Hinako Gan and Fumi Mizuhara and the others wanted to find out the secret of the ingredients, but looking at the ultimate clear soup that looked like boiled water in front of them, they also showed a bitter smile.

"It's some Chinese medicine!" X2

The people who said the secret of Shengzai's dish at the same time were Gin Tangdao and Erina.

Gin Tangdao could say it because he was experienced and his level as a chef was better than Fumi Mizuhara and the others.

And Erina could say the secret in the ingredients entirely because the "God's Tongue" was powerful enough.

Although Erina didn't know what Chinese medicine Shengzai added, she could taste that because the sweetness of the medicinal diet itself had been covered up by the spices and the meat aroma in the soup, but facing Erina, who possessed the "God's Tongue," it was still tasted.

Although Erina didn't know what Chinese medicine Shengzai added, she could taste that because the secretary who had been by her side for many years was good at medicinal diet cooking.

Whether it was Shengzai's dish or Kojiro Shinomiya's dish, the five judges present all ate them clean.

Gin Tangdao distributed four coins to Erina and the others, indicating that if they supported who would win, they would put the coins in the plate in front of them.

And after explaining the rules, Gin Tangdao stepped forward first and, under Kojiro Shinomiya's unbelievable expression, put the coin in his hand in front of Shengzai.

"Senior Tangdao, can you tell me where I lost?"

Among the several judges present, Kojiro Shinomiya cared most about Gin Tangdao's evaluation, but he didn't expect that the senior he admired would vote for his opponent in the first time.

"This time it's really a coincidence; whether it's you or Shengzai, the ingredients chosen for making dishes are vegetables and poultry as rare ingredients.

French cuisine pays attention to plating and color; although it is exquisite, it lacks a certain temperature.

Chinese cuisine pays more attention to taste; although it looks simple, it is rich in deep meaning and temperature.

Of course, the way of cooking is different due to the region, and the target audience is different; regardless of which is higher or lower, your 'ChouFarci' is not inferior to Shengzai's 'Boiled Cabbage' in terms of taste or texture.

But the one point you lost is that you lacked consideration for the customer's feelings."

"Customer's feelings? But isn't cooking just about good taste?" Regarding Gin Tangdao's words, Kojiro Shinomiya was still somewhat puzzled.

"Shengzai-kun, is there any 'Boiled Cabbage' left?"

Seeing Kojiro Shinomiya, who was confused, Hinako Gan looked at Shengzai on the side and asked.

"If it's the cabbage heart, there is none, but if it's the clear soup, there should still be some left."

After hearing Shengzai's words, Hinako Gan also quickly walked to Shengzai's pot, and served another bowl of steaming clear soup that looked like boiled water, and walked to Kojiro Shinomiya.

"Senior Shinomiya, drink this bowl of soup, and you will understand why Senior Tangdao said so.

Senior Shinomiya, is your cooking for others or for yourself?

Although I have always admired you, it is a pity that this time I also want to cast my vote for Shengzai-kun."

Erina and Kojiro Shinomiya were not familiar with each other, and her choice had long been decided; the "God's Tongue" had already given the answer.

So when Erina cast her vote for Shengzai, in fact, the outcome of this food war duel was already very obvious.

And seeing that the outcome was already quite clear, Fumi Mizuhara and Donato Gotoda also chose to abstain directly, which was to save the last bit of face for Kojiro Shinomiya.

Although they all admired Kojiro Shinomiya very much, as a chef, they still had the most basic professional quality.

It was impossible to vote for the other party just because their relationship with Kojiro Shinomiya was better.

If the votes of Shengzai and Kojiro Shinomiya were evenly matched at the moment, they would also follow their own wishes and cast their vote.

And seeing that the outcome was already quite clear, Kojiro Shinomiya also figured out where he lost, so he picked up the bowl handed over by Hinako Gan and took a sip.

The moment the clear soup entered his mouth, Kojiro Shinomiya fell into the same illusion as Erina and the others, and as experienced as he was, he also tasted the faint Chinese medicine flavor in the dish.

Cooking can make people feel happy, rather than a tool to pursue fame and fortune, but he seemed to have not considered the customer's feelings for a long time, but just cooked for himself...
