……
Faintly, one could hear Nakiri Managi's weak cries.
Annie darted into the dormitory, her eyes searching anxiously for the first-aid kit.
Skilled movements.
He resembled a seasoned physician.
Soon, she held a vial of nutritional injection firmly in her hand; that tiny syringe now carried the power to save lives.
after that.
A transparent liquid.
It slowly flowed into Managi's body through the syringe.
These nutrients surged through her parched meridians instantly, causing her originally pale face to visibly flush with a rosy hue, like cherry blossoms in early spring, radiating beauty!
The once dim flame of life was rekindled.
And that nutrient solution, like a stirring battle song, played a melody of revival within her body.
She was already so weak that she looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind, but now her body began to tremble violently.
But it wasn't a painful tremor, it was...
A sign that life is awakening!
Then, those tightly closed eyes began to tremble slightly.
Her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, revealing a pair of clear, bright eyes that also held a hint of confusion.
……
"Samagi-sama."
Are you feeling better now?
Anne, who had just finished administering the nutrient solution to Nakiri Managi, asked with concern and worry.
"Ok!"
"make you worry."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nakiri Managi took a deep breath.
As I felt that long-lost vitality surging through my body, the corners of my mouth involuntarily turned up.
However, she then sighed deeply, "Ah! I was thinking that after the graduation season at Totsuki Academy, I could spend some time with Lin Xu and taste every delicious dish he made."
"But things never went as planned, and the world's third-ranked molecular gastronomy restaurant in Scandinavia ran into trouble."
“Annie.”
"Lin...Lin Xu, you should be in Northern Europe by now, right?"
There was so much helplessness in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Anne quickly replied seriously, "Yes, after finishing his trip in America, he went straight to Northern Europe by plane."
"I reckon he should be at that Disfrutar restaurant by now."
As the only Special Grade Executive Officer of WGO, Nakiri Managi could certainly understand that the sunny, smiling young man possessed abilities that even she feared!
That's why she had Lin Xu replace Executive Officer Lantabi to be in charge of restaurant reviews across Japan.
Of course.
Lin Xu lived up to her expectations.
In just one month, a perfect review report was submitted to headquarters.
His outstanding performance immediately caused a sensation within WGO.
Even Nakiri Managi was greatly surprised, so when faced with the thorny problem of the Nordic Disfrutar restaurant, she could only place her hopes on him once again.
……
"Ugh!"
"Lin Xu".
"I really, really miss you!"
"If you were here with me right now, I... I wouldn't have to endure this excruciating hunger."
“However, WGO is currently facing many problems, and I can’t keep you by my side forever.”
"What should I do?"
"I'm so conflicted and helpless."
Deep longing is clearly expressed through these windows of the soul.
The sweet torment of longing, along with the pain inflicted by the God's Tongue, was honestly driving her almost completely insane.
She could only keep busy with WGO affairs to try and dilute the intense longing in her heart.
however.
No matter how hard she tries.
She couldn't help but think about Lin Xu.
Perhaps she has already fallen into that intricately woven, invisible net, and can no longer escape?
……
I vaguely remember.
When no dish in the world can satisfy God's tongue.
Her weight dropped by a pound a day for a week, and she gradually became weak.
Ah!
That feeling.
What language should I use to describe it?
It felt like my body was floating, as if I was walking on clouds, almost like I could "fly" up and down.
Moreover, his own thinking was extremely blocked, and his mind was foggy.
By the second week, he was still consuming one pound a day, but his physical weakness had worsened.
Hunger severely affected her rationality. When she saw someone around her drinking even a small bowl of rice porridge, her mouth would drool like a tap that had been turned on.
To put it bluntly, I was drooling!
At its worst, even when she was holding a phone with a black case, it looked more and more like chocolate to her, and she couldn't help but want to take a bite to satisfy her craving.
And later.
Her face finally turned as white as paper.
But perhaps I gradually got used to it, and I no longer felt hungry at all.
The doctors in charge of her treatment were frightened after seeing her, worried that she might develop anorexia or other problems after adapting to long-term fasting!
Chapter 66 Caviar That Isn't Caviar
at last.
Managi's body was on the verge of collapse from hunger!
What's even more frightening is that there is no cure for this anorexia, and the patient can only be kept alive slowly by injecting nutrient solutions.
Until a little over a month ago, at that review meeting, I had the privilege of tasting the dishes made by Lin Xu. After being "nourishd" by him, I finally regained that long-lost feeling of fullness.
But only a few days have passed.
She collapsed again, just as weak as when she had just gone hungry.
thus.
The current Managi.
It's perfectly understandable that she misses Lin Xu so much!
……
The first ray of sunlight pierced through layers of clouds.
The soft light, carrying the hope and power of dawn, slowly, slowly fell.
Ultimately, the precision landed on that laboratory filled with many sophisticated instruments.
250g.
500g of water.
2g of alginate.
2.5g calcium lactate.
First, mix 80g of golden snapper broth with alginate, then mix it with the remaining golden snapper broth and set aside.
Mix water and calcium lactate in a glass container.
Use a syringe.
Drink the algae-infused fish soup.
Drop by drop, it was added to the calcium lactate solution.
Finally, wait a minute, then scoop it out and drain it with clean water. And there you have it, a simple "caviar" dish!
"Mom, this is the signature dish of Chef Castro from that Disfrutar restaurant."
Leonora looked up and her bright eyes immediately widened. On one side of the round ice tray were tender pink tuna slices.
The "caviar" on the other side is made with seafood soup, croaker soup, soy sauce, ginger, and other ingredients.
Under the light.
It really does look very similar to the caviar sold in stores.
Each pearl is plump and lustrous, with a mother-of-pearl-like sheen on its surface. When lightly pressed, it bounces back slightly, as if it is accumulating energy to burst forth.
"I see."
"This new spheroidizing technology involves adding sodium alginate to the food."
"The mixture is then slowly added to the lactic acid solution. The calcium ions in the solution will exchange positions with the sodium ions in the sodium alginate, and the molecular chains of sodium alginate will cross-link with the help of calcium ions to form a hydrogel."
"In this way, a thin film can be formed on the surface of food through chemical means, while the inside remains liquid, thus achieving a bursting texture."
After withdrawing her gaze and pondering carefully, Leonora Nakiri seemed to have gained some insight.
……
The rest.
She began to eat a small piece of "caviar".
The moment your teeth pierce the caviar, a crisp "pop pop" sound, accompanied by the burst of salty and savory juices in your mouth, creates a dramatic contrast.
At the same time, the visual richness and the impact of taste reach their peak together.
soft!
fresh!
sweet!
咸!
Several textures and flavors burst forth directly in the mouth.
The umami essence of the seafood soup and the golden pomfret soup blended together in the mouth, forming a powerful and profound wave of umami flavor.
This umami flavor is not simple or shallow, but rather rich in layers and has a long-lasting aftertaste!
Every single bite.
