Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group

You can give it to Fufu and see what kind of evaluation Navelette will give after drinking it.

However, he was more looking forward to making Navelette drink the soup of the century, showing that lewd expression, and then taking a picture as a souvenir.

Violet's lewd expression meant he was definitely having some fun.

Cough cough, how did I become like this? It's probably because of Aha's influence. Aha is truly born evil.

"Alright, please enjoy your meal, Garlic Bird Oyako Rice."

A simple ceramic bowl, pure white and glistening rice, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside pieces of meat (garlic bird), and golden egg liquid (ten-yolk egg)—it looks like a luxurious yet ordinary home-cooked meal.

For many people, the delicacies served at hotels are not as good as their mother's home-cooked meals.

"I'm starting to eat."

Qin Zhou savored the dish slowly. The garlic bird meat had a unique, subtle garlic flavor, was chewy and tender, and the scrambled eggs with ten yolks were smooth, sweet, and melted in his mouth. Paired with the soft, fragrant, and delicious rice, the ingredients, though not particularly complex or diverse, blended together perfectly.

The chef's culinary skills, ranked among the top three in the world, are indeed well-deserved. Setsuno has also won first place in many cooking festivals.

This bowl of rice can bring you a great sense of happiness.

The ingredients that Setsuno uses are not of particularly high quality, but she can still cook up an excellent taste. This is the authority of the world's top three chefs.

"It tastes like sesame chestnut. Did Granny Setsuna add this as a seasoning?" As a chef, Atasino could naturally discern the subtle differences.

Atacino couldn't find any fault with the taste of the rice bowl; it was practically perfect.

“Yes, I can taste it too.” Xiaosong nodded and then offered his opinion.

"Adding seven herbs should also be quite suitable."

Atasino thought for a moment and said, "A small amount of Four Seasons Mint powder should also work."

Qin Zhou and Alu couldn't understand, they just kept talking about rice, occasionally vaguely.

"Hehehe, both of your suggestions are excellent. You have truly remarkable taste and observation skills, and you even have a touch of sensuality," Setsuno praised.

Xiao Yi is very satisfied with the partners that Xiao Zhou has been assigned. They have good potential, and Xiao Song is also someone to look forward to.

"Sexy?" Xiaosong was stunned. What a terrible description.

"You mean your talent for making sexy dishes?" Toriko said with a smile.

Komatsu was speechless. There was no such dish.

Setsu offered no explanation, only a comment: the new era is meant to be handed over to the young.

The new era no longer has the ships to carry the old era.

Ichiryu/Jiro/Sanko: We're all too old to fight anymore.

"Xiaozhou, how was your first visit to the culinary world?" Setsuna asked.

Toriko sat up straight and pricked up his ears to listen.

"In the culinary world, there are many rare ingredients, and the capture level of the beasts is almost always above level one hundred," Qin Zhou said.

Toriko frowned. A level 100 beast? Are creatures in the Gourmet World this fierce?

"The capture level isn't the key point. The key point is that those beasts can adapt to their habitats, but can you adapt?"

Setsuno was saying this to Toriko. Since the topic had been brought up, she would give Toriko a little warning.

After all, he's a child adopted by Xiao Yi, so we can't let him go to his death in the culinary world.

"Toriko, when can you enter the culinary world? Just follow Xiao Yi's arrangements. He's definitely doing it for your own good."

"I see."

Toriko scratched his airplane-shaped hair. Everyone was saying that the culinary world was dangerous and that he couldn't enter it yet.

But his main appeal is his rebellious spirit; I just had to see how terrifying the culinary world really was.

I've been feeling a bit lost these past couple of days, really listless. It seems like IX's influence is affecting me; I'm not really in the zone.

Chapter 75 The Wolf King's Fang

I'm coming.

When Qin Zhou entered, he smelled a very complex aroma from the soup that Setsuna had simmered. Setsuna's soup was still a semi-finished product, not quite finished yet.

There are no aurora effects, and it can't make people make strange expressions.

"The Century Soup is a special dish that exists in the Ice Hell, right?" Atasino said in surprise.

The natural "century soup" is not artificially made. In the distant past, before freezing preservation, gourmets froze countless ingredients in the Ice Hell, and the delicious broth formed by the power of nature could only be captured once every hundred years, hence the name "century soup".

Atasino was not yet a hundred years old, so naturally she had never tasted the last "Soup of the Century," only heard of it.

“I’ve drunk the Century Soup that Kojiro brought back, and I’m going to recreate it from memory,” Setsuno said directly.

The pot lid was opened, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, a blend of the scents of hundreds and thousands of ingredients. Toriko's mouth was already watering uncontrollably.

The broth was incredibly clear, looking just like ordinary water, but after taking a sip, the flavor was incredibly rich and smooth.

Qin Zhou observed the expressions of the others without showing any surprise, indicating that the Century Soup was only a semi-finished product.

"It seems... something's missing?"

Atasino and Komatsu both said that they did not deny the deliciousness of the broth, but felt it was not perfect.

"Hehehe, not bad, come with me."

Setsuno smiled with satisfaction, saying that being able to taste the shortcomings in just one bite was enough to demonstrate the two's culinary skills and keen sense of taste.

After opening the entrance to the underground kitchen, the group followed Setsunori inside.

The space inside was incredibly large, with all sorts of ingredients being cooked, filling the space with a medley of aromas.

"Master's wife, did you collect these ingredients yourself, or did Master Jiro collect them?" Qin Zhou looked around and asked.

"Some were given to me by IGO, some I captured, and some were captured by Kojiro when he had nothing else to do."

Besides being a chef, Setsuna's strength is also among the top tier on Earth. When Jiro unleashed his full power after breaking the seal, she single-handedly protected the entire human world.

"Do you have any ingredients from the culinary world?" Toriko asked curiously.

"Hehehe, no need for that. Just cook the ingredients from the human world well." Setsuno shook her head with a smile.

The world's top restaurants rarely use ingredients from the culinary world.

"What a huge pot..." Xiaosong's eyes widened. The pot in front of them was several stories high.

Qin Zhou felt this was normal. After all, many ferocious beasts are incredibly large, and if the cooking utensils aren't big enough, it really wouldn't be conducive to their performance.

It seems quite fitting for Aha to take the blame for this.

"I'll go up first, you guys take your time."

Setsuna squatted down, and like a compressed spring, she shot up into the sky in a flash.

Atasino followed closely behind, and jumping to that height was no problem for her.

Qin Zhou flew up slowly, while Toriko and Komatsu climbed the stairs little by little.

"Siguoyi, are all these ingredients used to make the Century Soup?" Xiaosong was exhausted, but seeing this huge pot of ingredients revitalized him.

With so many ingredients, the ability to produce such a clear broth truly demonstrates Setsunori's mastery of the characteristics of the ingredients.

"It's just a semi-finished product. Hey, Toriko, you've drunk too much."

Just as Setsuna was speaking, she saw Toriko gulping down food like crazy. Was this gluttonous brat planning to eat his money's worth?

"You've probably heard, right? The Soup of the Century is about to appear. If you want to drink the real Soup of the Century, just go and get it."

Toriko looked expectant, while Komatsu was a little nervous. The two exchanged a glance and headed towards the bar where gourmets gathered.

"Master's wife, this is a gift for you: air fruit and dessert from my menu, Hot Planet."

After Toriko and the others left, Qin Zhou gave two dishes of food to Setsuna.

"You're here now, no need to bring any gifts next time," Setsuna said with a smile.

"I've eaten air fruit before, but I've never had it on a hot planet. It must be that you, Atasino, heard the sounds of the ingredients, right?"

Setsuno kept it safe, waiting for Kojiro to come back so they could eat together.

"It was amazing to hear the voice of the hot planet back then. Before, it was only intermittent. It was probably a miracle brought about by becoming partners with Qin Zhou." Atacino nodded.

Setsuna nodded with a smile. This is the meaning of having a partner.

"Oh right, the gift Kojiro gave you is with me. I'll give it to you this time."

Setsuna's figure disappeared without either of them seeing how it vanished. Qin Zhou and Atasino looked at each other in bewilderment.

These older generation powerhouses are truly terrifying. A few seconds later, Setsuno reappeared in front of the two of them.

A white, cylindrical object, about the length of a forearm, was held in his hand, emanating an astonishing aura of power.

Qin Zhou and Atasino were immediately horrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and getting goosebumps.

The object looked like it came from a horn or a tooth, and they felt a kingly pressure emanating from it.

"Hehehe, it seems you guessed it. This is a tooth of the Wolf King Ginnes. When Kojiro fought the Wolf King Ginnes, he obtained a piece of the wolf king's tooth. This part was left after the weapon was forged," Setsuno explained with a smile.

"Master is truly magnanimous."

Qin Zhou observed the wolf fang in his hand. It was usually dormant, but once it erupted, the pressure from the Eight Kings would be earth-shattering.

Moreover, the teeth detached from the main body certainly lack the same intimidating power as the Eight Kings' main body.

“Weapons don’t actually provide much of a boost for Kojiro,” Setsuno said.

She had no idea how powerful Jiro was when he went all out; every punch was a critical hit, while Blue Netero was as weak as a lizard.

Qin Zhou nodded. Jiro, when fully unleashed, was terrifyingly powerful.

The wolf fang was used to make a kitchen knife for Atasino, but he had his eye on the dragon-slaying greatsword that Melk had forged.

If you cook salad air first, then the knife will be useless. With a little modification, it can become a dragon-slaying sword.

"Master's wife, I want to ask you a question related to people with a highly developed sense of taste. Is this something that can be controlled?" Qin Zhou thought of Erina's question.

If there's no other way, you can have Nguyen Mai perform surgery on Erina.

“Sure, that’s just a talent. If you need external help, there’s an ingredient in the culinary world called Flame Spirit Stew, which can adjust your sense of taste after you drink it,” Setsuno said.
