But the surreal imagery created in the last two instances is perhaps too absurd.
……
"Don't say it."
"Lin Xu's dishes are indeed rare..."
"tasty!"
Managi couldn't help but mutter to herself.
I've already secretly decided that I'll definitely make him make sweet and sour pork again next time I have the chance.
"Lin Xu, I admit that every bite of this crystal sweet and sour pork is a surprise, and every flavor is the result of ingenuity."
"honestly."
"I rarely see them anymore."
"Such a profound and spiritual culinary creation."
At this point, Nakiri Managi slightly rose, her eyes revealing an unprecedented seriousness, and continued, "But I still don't understand why ice is added at the end of this dish..."
Do you know what candied fruit is?
Lin Xu smiled and asked softly.
"Pulled sugar?"
Managi suddenly froze.
"The so-called 'pulling sugar threads' is a method of frying the raw materials until crispy, mixing them with hot melted sugar syrup, plating them on a plate, and pulling out sugar threads during the cooling process."
"The principle is based on the rheological phenomena after sugar dissolves."
"Ok!"
"It is closely related to the temperature, solubility, and concentration of the syrup."
Lin Xu explained, "To put it simply, the syrup is heated at high temperature and then rapidly cooled by high-speed air to form threads."
"The Crystal Sweet and Sour Pork dish utilizes this principle."
……
We didn't spend much time together.
But Lin Xu gave Nagi the impression of a "male protagonist" with a perfect personality.
He possesses both the carefree spirit of youth and an emotional management ability beyond his years. Most importantly, he has an unwavering stability:
Kernel!
That feeling.
It would be difficult for Managi to explain this clearly in a short time.
However, there is no doubt that a person with a stable core and a strong sense of self is the most charismatic.
This is why Erina is attracted to him even if she is unwilling.
Because Erina is a person without self-awareness.
Her "self".
Even in his childhood, he was completely defeated by Azami Nakiri.
With the help of Hisako, Senzaemon Nakiri, and others, she finally recovered a little.
Later, due to the Totsuki Coup, he was once again ruthlessly defeated by Oni-chichi.
Until the end.
At THE BLUE World Culinary Championship.
At the time, she was probably the strongest in the world, but she was ultimately defeated by Nakiri Managi.
It can be said that she was a young lady whose life was filled with tragic stories, unloved by her father and mother, and only her grandfather and secretary tried their best to save her.
Therefore.
People like Lin Xu.
It was undoubtedly fatally attractive to the pampered young lady who had lacked love since childhood.
Lin Xu's tolerance and confidence illuminated Erina's heart like light, making her gradually realize the problem and break free from the inner demons that had plagued her for many years.
Yes!
his appearance.
It is already slowly changing Erina.
……
Unlike Erina.
Nakiri Managi, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by her own extraordinary talent, which led to her inability to eat and physical exhaustion.
Erina was more or less influenced by her father, the demon father.
Only Nagi actually demonstrated it:
"Too much talent can ruin you."
Actually, Lin Xu had watched "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" in his previous life. At that time, he wondered if God Tongue could eat so many good things that it would be unable to eat ordinary food? Would it even be impossible for it to kiss?
After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Unexpectedly, such a tragic example actually occurred near the end.
It is clear.
The problem with Nakiri Managi.
It seems that she has always been trained as a "food taster".
Although her recollections mention that she could cook, her main job was as a food critic and reviewer. Even when she ran away from home to create the WGO food organization, she was a top executive who tasted and reviewed delicious food!
Throughout the latter half of her life, she rarely cooked, and even her baby Erina had to be fed by a wet nurse.
Therefore, after tasting too many dishes.
When the God Tongue was fed to be extremely demanding, serious problems began to arise:
She actually knew what the God Tongue wanted to taste like, but she couldn't describe it, and she couldn't make it herself.
In the end, all they could do was keep receiving IV drips and pin their hopes on future chefs.
"A dish that has never been seen on Earth before."
That kind of talk sounds like they're just making small talk. If they really wanted to achieve something, they'd have to invest in Musk and then look for it in the universe.
Therefore, sometimes Nakiri Managi wanted to give up, after all, where could she find a chef like him?
But I never expected it.
Lin Xu ultimately changed her fate.
……
"Ding dong!"
"The character Nakiri Managi is bound to the system."
"Having tasted the host's Crystal Sweet and Sour Pork, I'm giving it another thumbs up!"
"Ding dong."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe: Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee."
Making porridge is an essential survival skill that every Chinese person must master!
Whenever life weighs you down, whenever your stomach is upset, whenever you wake up drunk and look for water...
A bowl of hot porridge is better than a thousand words:
"I love you!"
Of all the congee, the most beloved is undoubtedly a pot of piping hot century egg and lean pork congee.
Smooth white porridge.
Tender and smooth shredded meat.
Delicious preserved eggs.
The three were intertwined, bubbling and gurgling.
As it gently glides across your lips and teeth, the aromas of rice, shredded pork, and preserved egg blend together, seemingly telling you...
Young people, you must be good to yourselves!
……
A bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork.
If the weight is calculated as 200g, it is mainly made of preserved eggs, lean pork and rice, with salt and green onions.
These ingredients together provide a total of 420 kcal.
420kcal, how much is that?
One persimmon weighing 100g contains 70kcal.
So, that's equivalent to 6 persimmons or 12 round eggplants!
Therefore, the dietary fiber in preserved egg and lean pork congee is relatively rich, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and has the effects of clearing heat and relieving irritability, nourishing yin and replenishing qi.
Chapter 84 A Conversation Under the Moonlight
Lazy.
Satisfy.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on Managi's long hair.
At this moment, she was wearing an elegant light purple kimono, the patterns on which were faintly visible under the light!
Gently patting her "bulging" belly.
Her beautiful face beamed with a happy smile, as if she had eaten and drunk her fill.
"Whoo~"
"It feels so good to be full."
Managi suddenly squinted her eyes and sighed with infinite satisfaction.
As an anorexic, she naturally gets hungry and has an unusual interest in food.
The power of the tongue of God.
Ultimately, one may indeed develop an aversion to food.
But throughout, Managi pays close attention to information about the food.
Pay attention to the amount and types of food consumed by those around you, and be aware of all food information you can access: restaurants, shop windows, websites, shopping apps, newspapers, magazines, books...
She devotes most of her time and energy to focusing on food.
However, while experiencing intense cravings, she forbade herself to eat.
……
control.
Repressed.
Even to control hunger.
Well, for Nakiri Managi, it has always been a source of great satisfaction.
Moreover, this sense of control made her feel happy, satisfied, noticed, needed, and valued, which helped her maintain her values of being "good" and "having willpower."
Ah!
