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

Those anxious steps suddenly became unsteady, and the body tilted uncontrollably to one side.

"Oops!"

"My body...it's going to..."

Managi felt utterly hopeless.

Just as he was about to fall heavily onto the cold ground, Lin Xu rushed forward in a flash.

He swiftly extended his strong arm and steadily pulled Managi into his embrace.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still!

……

He held the delicate body in his arms tightly.

The thin layer of clothing clung to her delicate body, revealing her curves, but Lin Xu had no mind to appreciate it at the moment.

He smelled that familiar, faint body fragrance and realized that this young woman, cough cough, noblewoman, who was suffering from anorexia, was missing him so much!

boom!

boom!

boom!

Managi pressed tightly against Lin Xu's chest.

At that moment, I could clearly feel the steady and powerful heartbeat.

She began to realize that she wasn't dreaming, and as she felt increasingly at ease and happy, she hugged herself even tighter.

After a long while, she finally peeked out from Lin Xu's embrace, gazing intently at the boy she had been thinking about day and night!

Lin Xu was gazed at with such deep affection that even the hardest steel would soften into tenderness.

……

"what!"

"I...I...this..."

"Oh right, I need to hurry up and get a bottle of nutrient solution for the injection."

Anne stared blankly at the scene before her.

She saw the man she admired most, Nagi-sama, and was suddenly hugged by Lin Xu. She obediently stayed in his arms and didn't move at all!

Afterwards, her mind was a little muddled, but she quickly came to her senses and tried to turn around to get the spare first-aid kit.

"No need, Annie."

"Now that Lin Xu is back, why would I need that kind of thing to save my life?"

Managi blushed, pushed Lin Xu away, and took two steps back.

Standing there, feeling slightly awkward and conflicted, I didn't know what to say.

Finally, her eyes, which were darting around, caught sight of Anne trying to "escape" the scene, so she called her back.

……

Gulu gulu!

Just when the atmosphere became particularly awkward.

Perhaps she was genuinely hungry, or perhaps Lin Xu's appearance had successfully awakened the cravings in Managi's stomach, causing it to rumble loudly.

"hungry?"

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten anything along the way."

Lin Xu smiled faintly, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll cook myself, let's all eat together later!"

"Ok!"

Managi nodded, feeling extremely happy.

Soon, Lin Xu arrived at a spacious kitchen and began preparing to make the magic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

……

The so-called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

It's like "a big, overcooked hodgepodge".

As early as 1984, Juchunyuan Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was selected twice for state banquets. As the top dish at the time, it was served to Prince Sihanouk and the President of the United States.

Six years later, it was awarded the "Golden Tripod Award," the highest award in Chinese cuisine, by the Ministry of Commerce of the Celestial Empire.

Since then.

Juchun Garden's reputation reached its peak.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has also become a renowned and prestigious dish.

According to common practice

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall originated during the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty.

To entertain Yang Lian, the Provincial Treasurer, the then Director of the Fuzhou Official Silver Bureau specially asked his wife, who was skilled in cooking, to prepare the dishes.

The General Manager's wife then stewed chicken, duck, fish, and meat together in a Shaoxing wine jar. When it was served, it was incredibly fragrant, and Yang Lian praised it highly.

After returning home, Yang Lian asked her private chef, Zheng Chunfa, to replicate the recipe, but he couldn't quite get it right.

I had no choice but to ask the general manager's wife for advice, and that's how I learned to make this dish.

Later, Zheng Chunfa resigned from his job as a family chef and opened "Sanyouzhai Restaurant" (the predecessor of Juchunyuan). He added high-end ingredients such as abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw to the original recipe, which revitalized and promoted this dish!

……

At this moment.

Lin Xu prepared dozens of ingredients, including hen, pig's trotters, duck gizzards, dried clams, shiitake mushrooms, abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, dried scallops, and fish lips.

Then take a Shaoxing wine jar as a simmering vessel.

Add water, chicken, duck, dried scallops, ginger slices, and scallion segments.

The fire boiled.

Turn the heat to low and simmer.

Filter the broth to remove any residue when the soup has a rich color and aroma.

Sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, fish maw, shiitake mushrooms, tendons and other ingredients are placed into a stewing pot in order, and seasoned with appropriate amounts of salt, cooking wine and other seasonings.

……

Cover the stewing pot with the lid.

Seal the gap between the lid and the simmering pot opening with a damp cloth to prevent steam from escaping.

Next, the stewing vessel was placed on a charcoal stove and steamed over a high flame.

The aroma from the simmering vessel.

It's as if it carries an invisible hook, gently teasing one's olfactory nerves.

Annie, who was standing idly to the side, was instantly "captured" by the sudden fragrance.

Her lazy, bright eyes suddenly lit up, her nostrils twitched slightly as she greedily inhaled the intoxicating fragrance, and she couldn't help but exclaim in heartfelt admiration, "How fragrant!"

Rich and full-bodied.

It has many layers.

The smell is so enticing, even Buddha would jump over the wall!

Anne narrowed her eyes slightly, her mind racing.

With a keen sense of food and extensive knowledge, I tried my best to discern the secrets contained in the aroma.

Finally, she suddenly realized: "Lady Managi, the unique aroma produced by the blending and collision of these dozens of ingredients, along with the subtle and mellow fragrance of wine, plus Lin Xu's ingenious use of a wine jar as a brewing vessel..."

"Yes, the dish he's about to make is very likely the famous and unparalleled Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

While talking.

Anne gently fanned the fragrance with her hand.

It's as if I want this wonderful flavor to penetrate even deeper into my nasal cavity.

"That was indeed a bit unexpected."

"I thought his new dishes would be some ordinary home-style fare, but I never expected..."

Managi, equally captivated by the rich fragrance, exclaimed.

……

In the last 10 minutes of steaming or cooking.

Lin Xu held the pigeon eggs that had been prepared beforehand.

These pigeon eggs are small and exquisite, with white shells as white as jade, exuding a warm luster.

His fingers moved nimbly among the pigeon eggs, carefully placing them one by one into the steaming wine jar.

And with the addition of pigeon eggs.

The aroma in the stewing vessel became even more intense.

"hehe."

"The real excitement is just beginning!"

With a light laugh, Lin Xu pulled out a 4-meter-long, 20-pound iron chain.

He firmly grasped one end of the iron chain with both hands, and then skillfully hooked the other end onto the huge wine jar.

Wine jar.

It swayed slightly, pulled by the iron chain.

Managi understood something, and her originally elegant and calm expression vanished without a trace.

Her eyes widened, and her small mouth opened slightly, but she couldn't make a sound. She stood there blankly, as if she had been frozen in place.

"Isn't it?"

"Could it be... that he's going to..."

Annie realized it too, and was so frightened that her face turned pale.

She covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide open.

……

"Whoo~"

Lin Xu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Then, he planted his feet firmly on the ground, like a pine tree rooted to the earth. His arm muscles tensed instantly, and the veins bulged, like winding little snakes.

Immediately afterwards, he began to swing the iron chain forcefully.

The iron chains whistled through the air, creating a whooshing sound, like a wildly dancing dragon.

The wine jar, propelled by the iron chain, traced dangerous arcs in the air.

Sometimes it soars high into the sky, as if it wants to break through the heavens.

At times, it falls rapidly.

It makes you hold your breath for it.

"Bravo!"

“That iron chain must have weighed at least 20 pounds, but he could swing it with one hand with ease.”

Anne exclaimed in shock, her mouth agape.

……

"Powerful Vajra Turn".
