"Don't be so impatient. Weren't you acting indifferent just now? Honestly, I still prefer your rebellious look from before."
Seeing Rantobi's eager expression, Hoshino Sora's face revealed a mischievous smile. He was in no hurry, holding a kettle in one hand, his gaze fixed on the heart of the cabbage, which had a goji berry on it.
"Stop talking nonsense! Bring out all your tricks! As an executive of WGO, what kind of gourmet food haven't I seen?!"
"That's right, you should have heard of this dish, after all, it's very famous. Although it's troublesome, few people use this dish to participate in competitions."
As the boiling hot broth was poured from above, the cabbage, which had already been simmered in broth and then formed into a ball by Hoshino Sora, quickly bloomed under the stimulation of heat and water flow.
Hot broth poured over the cabbage heart, causing the cabbage to bloom. The trimmed cabbage resembled a flower, and a rich, fresh aroma bloomed from its center, wafting into the air and being inhaled by those nearby. A flash of golden light passed, and a phantom quickly flew into the sky.
"Eat quickly, or the taste will get worse!"
Watching the phantom gradually forming in the sky and showing signs of slipping away, Hoshino Sora pounded the table, urging her, his eyes filled with seriousness.
If it were a true gourmand, they would never hesitate at this moment, because once they hesitate, the taste of the dish would diminish by more than half as the dish's soul departs!
"I know! Don't rush me!"
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Rantobi said with flushed cheeks, her gaze fixed on the dish in front of her, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
"Mmm... Mmm... Mmm.."
Holding chopsticks, she quickly put the boiled cabbage into her mouth. In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck, and an extreme freshness erupted in her mouth. The girl's body twisted violently due to this freshness, and moans escaped from her cherry lips.
Her fingers unconsciously moved down from her neck, her whole body was drenched in fragrant sweat, her breathing was very rapid, and the hot air she exhaled could even be felt by Hoshino Sora, who was two or three body lengths away from her.
"Delicious, fresh, too fresh! I've never eaten such delicious cabbage. Is this a Chinese state banquet dish?! So amazing, I can't take it anymore!"
With a hint of bewilderment in her eyes, she quickly separated the boiled cabbage in front of her with chopsticks, then picked up a leaf and put it into her mouth. The boiled cabbage, soaked in rich broth, was incredibly delicious and melted in her mouth, making it truly irresistible!
One bite, two bites, three bites! Although her body was constantly warm from the delicious food, Rantobi still didn't give up on this exquisite dish, greedily eating large mouthfuls.
"You even meticulously removed the fibrous membranes from the cabbage, elevating its texture to another level! What patience!"
As she savored the deliciousness of the boiled cabbage, Rantobi clearly felt that the cabbage Hoshino Sora provided had a better texture. Obviously, to make it easier to eat, he had removed the fibrous membranes from the cabbage that would damage the texture. Such a large amount of work, and he managed to complete it in such a short time!
"Finally, the steaming method was used. The cabbage was placed in a delicious broth and steamed until cooked. After steaming, the broth was poured out, and the cabbage was gathered into a flower bud, then finally drizzled with broth to make it bloom."
"Ah! This is simply not a dish that money can buy! For this dish, it doesn't matter if I pay with something other than money; I'm going to enter another dimension!"
After drinking all the broth and finishing the entire plate of cabbage, Rantobi lay back in her chair. The lingering taste in her mouth made her body twitch occasionally, and a strange sensation seemed to flow within her.
The next moment, Rantobi's face showed a sage-like expression, completely devoid of her previous obsession with cuisine. She appeared to have transcended the mundane, her crossed legs now lowered, and her entire demeanor had become incredibly normal, save for her still flushed cheeks. There was no trace of her previous impish behavior!
However, her darting eyes and tightly clamped legs, combined with her strange cries just now, gave Hoshino Sora the answer. He spoke in a teasing tone, "So, how much is my cuisine worth?"
Leaning his hands on the table, Hoshino Sora suddenly leaned in, looking at the rather cute face before him, and asked very directly.
"Hmph, the scoring begins now. Exactly, nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars!"
Feeling the mess within her skirt, Rantobi dispelled the idea of giving a low score. This dish was truly a Dimensional-level cuisine, far more impactful than Eishi Tsukasa's. However, there was one thing she didn't understand: why could convenience store ingredients produce such a delicious soup!
