Food Wars!: God's Tongue is no match for me.

"Kuraji?"

"I really miss it!"

Anne's thoughts seemed to drift back to the past as she continued, "Back when I wanted to be promoted to First-Class Executive Officer, she tormented me for three whole months!"

"Lin Xu, may I ask a question, alright?"

Then she came to her senses and asked Lin Xu curiously.

"Ok?"

Lin Xu paused for a moment, then nodded.

"How long will it take you to pass her test?"

"Annie," she asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu simply held up two fingers in front of her.

"Huh? Two months?"

"No, no, I remember you only stayed in Northern Europe for a few days, or maybe only two?"

Annie was frightened.

"Two days?"

How bad am I?

"Two hours, and it was only because Leonora and Alice were there to taste my cooking that it took a little longer."

"I'm afraid I can be even faster!"

Lin Xu gave Annie a disapproving look and said speechlessly.

……

Thinking back to the three months I spent struggling in a sea of ​​questions every day.

Each piece of knowledge was like a towering mountain standing in front of her, and Annie could only grit her teeth and climb it step by step with great difficulty.

Yes!

Countless days and nights!

She buried herself in her books under the dim light, her clothes soaked with sweat, and exhaustion etched on her face.

Finally, he managed to barely stand firm on the edge of the assessment.

However, when her gaze fell back on Lin Xu, reality struck her heart like a heavy hammer.

Lin Xu!

He passed the test easily in just two hours.

This stark contrast, like an insurmountable chasm, instantly shattered Anne's pride and resolve.

There's a saying that goes like this:

People are more likely to die than others.

You have to throw it away when comparing things.

Chapter 81 The simplest, yet most exquisite dish

Early morning hours.

Sunlight streamed through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the floor.

A faint golden glow was cast over the tense WGO examination room.

Inside the assessment classroom.

The long, narrow worktable was polished to a shine.

Several ingredients and seasonings, all carefully selected by Annie, were neatly arranged on top.

Standing next to the worktable was Lin Xu, dressed in a white chef's uniform.

……

"Let me explain the assessment rules first."

"Here you'll find water for rinsing your mouth, a record sheet, and a pen."

"You need to rinse your mouth first, then observe the appearance of the food, smell it, and then take a bite to taste it."

"Finally, fill in its appearance, smell, taste, texture, etc. in the column corresponding to the food number on the form."

Anne explained.

"Is the test testing your sense of taste?"

Lin Xu suddenly realized that this challenge was not difficult for him at all.

His gaze swept over the many foods before finally settling on a small bottle of clear liquid.

The rest.

Gently pick up the bottle of liquid.

Shake it a few times, and the liquid ripples slightly in the bottle.

Lin Xu leaned closer and sniffed it, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He blurted out, "Wine?"

Followed by.

His lips lightly touched the rim of the glass, and he took a small sip.

The wine quickly spread in his mouth, causing Lin Xu to close his eyes and carefully analyze its taste and texture.

Finally, he opened his eyes, picked up a pen, and began to write carefully on the form. The pen tip scratched on the paper as he recorded his understanding and feelings about the wine!

……

time.

It passes little by little.

Lin Xu evaluated and recorded all the items on the workbench.

Then, Annie took the notebook from Lin Xu and began to look through it.

I just turned to the first page.

She froze instantly, muttering to herself:

"Cool!"

"The records are so detailed?"

“It’s one thing to record the taste and texture of the wine, but to write down its history, origin, brewing method, and so on.”

As she spoke, Anne couldn't help but gasp, turning the pages one by one.

God!

What did she see?

This notebook contains detailed records of:

Tianwei curry powder, Juancheng Pixian chili bean paste, Hongli red rice wine, Liertai Sriracha chili sauce, Japan's Mansou salt, America's Wegmans saury...

Information covering all aspects, including origin, taste, texture, and identification techniques!

……

"Just asking a question."

"Lin Xu, do you possess the same divine tongue as Lady Managi?"

As Annie read to the end, she began to look at Lin Xu with suspicion, hoping to get a "confirmed" answer from him.

After all.

Any WGO executive.

In terms of taste and sensory perception, they are indeed extraordinary.

Their understanding and ability to discern the taste, appearance, aroma, texture, and overall balance of food are far superior to that of ordinary people.

In the past, in order to train my sense of taste so that I could taste any ingredient with my tongue and analyze it precisely!

Anne was tormented by the two executives, Kuraj and Delabi, for three whole months.

Ah!

Only in this way.

Only with this group of executives can a more systematic and accurate evaluation system be formed.

Otherwise, their own level and ability will be questioned.

That is:

Those who become WGO executives are no pushovers!

However, one thing cannot be denied.

No matter how strong they are, they can't possibly be stronger than Nakiri Managi, who possesses the power of the God Tongue.

At least in terms of taste, even with long-term training, they cannot reach the level of "gods".

But in this test of taste perception, Lin Xu's performance far surpassed that of the three first-class executives, Anne, Kurage, and Delabi.

Therefore, it's hard not to suspect that he might also possess:

The legendary tongue of God!

……

"What do you think?"

"That ability to gradually cause someone to develop anorexia, will it happen to me?"

Lin Xu was neither pleased nor angry; he simply asked calmly.

Annie frowned, realizing that he indeed showed absolutely no signs of anorexia.

"You really are a monster."

"Even without the blessing of the God Tongue, it's still ridiculously powerful in terms of taste!"

Left with no other choice, she had to accept the fact.

The world is very big.

Of course, anything is possible.

With a global population of over 70 billion, it's normal for some unusual or eccentric individuals to appear.

About 15 years ago, renowned North American food writer Evri Stangarten, accompanied by top chef Heston Blumenthal, visited the Crossmodal research laboratory in Oxford.

During his visit to the laboratory, Stangarten tried a test strip used to assess the state of taste buds.

When these white filter paper strips coated with bitter chemicals are placed on a moist tongue, they taste nothing to one-third of people.

These people are referred to as:

"The tasteless one".

The other third of people could taste the flavor, but did not find it unpleasant.

These people are known as "moderate tasters".

At last.

For the remaining third of the population.

The seemingly harmless white paper strip actually had an extremely unpleasant smell.

And they are the so-called "super tasters".

Many of the latter will choose to rinse their mouths to remove the bitterness, similar to that of chewed aspirin.

Even more ridiculous, some food critics who have been trained for many years cannot taste any flavor at all.
