This time,
Alice couldn't stop talking!
Even though she had only been to the Izakaya with Erina, when she talked about the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs there, she repeatedly emphasized Sosuke's wisdom to her mother!
Listening to such a vivid narration, Leonora Nakiri's expression remained exceptionally calm.
She thought that this mysterious man must be handsome, gentle, capable in both social settings and the kitchen.
If such a perfect man truly existed, let alone Alice, even she might be moved by him!
"You always say he's strong, so what have you learned from his cuisine?"
Finally, Leonora wiped her flowing, smooth long hair with a towel and asked her daughter on the video call.
"Learned what?"
Upon hearing this, Alice couldn't help but ponder seriously.
"If there's no blowtorch or thermometer, it might be impossible to make delicious steak; if there's not enough sugar, cookies are hard to shape… "
"But these difficulties in traditional cuisine can be solved through scientific means in the field of Molecular Cuisine."
"However, I only realized how naive this idea was after witnessing Sosuke's cuisine!"
"Without a clay pot, even with just an ordinary iron pot, he can use various cooking techniques to process all kinds of ingredients and create all sorts of delicious dishes."
"I think a truly qualified and excellent chef should be able to create perfect cuisine under limited conditions."
Upon hearing this, Leonora's expression changed drastically, and her blood-red eyes were instantly filled with disbelief.
…
In psychology, there is a famous effect called the "Dunning-Kruger effect."
It states that people with lower cognitive abilities tend to be more confident in their own cognition.
It was precisely because of her extraordinary achievements in Molecular Cuisine at a young age that Alice became very confident and had a significant cognitive bias when it came to traditional cuisine.
Correcting this bias in a short time was, in Leonora's view, absolutely impossible!
Yet, after only a few days at Totsuki and one visit to the mysterious Izakaya, Alice suddenly "upgraded" her cognition.
It's important to know that when confidence is soaring, a sudden upgrade in cognition can cause confidence levels to drop.
Because some new concepts will conflict with original cognitions, gradually, one will begin to doubt life. But after hitting a low point in confidence, as new perspectives gradually stabilize, confidence can be regained.
"To be able to make someone as stubborn as you change your original beliefs."
"That Shopkeeper Sosuke is truly worthy of his reputation!"
Leonora sighed.
"Of course." Alice immediately looked proud.
Seeing her like this, it was as if Sosuke getting her mother's approval made her feel "glorious."
Then she thought of something else and quickly continued, "Oh, right, Sosuke can also make a dish that can fly into the sky, called Rising Dragon Dumplings!"
"That dish even shocked Erina, and for a while, she was often secretly learning how to make it in the kitchen."
"Erina?"
"Is she… is she doing well?"
Leonora Nakiri paused upon hearing this.
Her thoughts immediately drifted back to more than 10 years ago.
At that time, Erina was just a "little loli," looking innocent and pure.
But having personally witnessed Mana Nakiri suffering various pains from the God Tongue's curse, she also understood that her niece would likely face a similar tragic fate in the future!
However, on such matters, even the General felt powerless, let alone her?
