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

"Instead of this."

"Why don't we just stay at this restaurant?"

"Learn advanced molecular gastronomy techniques from their side!"

"Alice," she pleaded.

"No means no. Totsuki Academy is backed by the Nakiri family."

"Even if you find it difficult to make a breakthrough in molecular gastronomy after graduation, as long as you rely on the resources provided by your family, you will definitely do well."

Leonora's tone left no room for negotiation.

"Ok."

"As you wish."

Upon hearing this, Alice could only show a helpless expression and completely resign herself to her fate!

……

Intertwined with time and space.

Alice saw the similarities between "the artist's table" and "the chef's artistic expression".

In this restaurant, even renowned chefs gradually give up thinking and try to cover up their strategic laziness with tactical diligence. One way is to pile up fancy decorations, and another is to consume for fame.

Yes!

Molecular gastronomy, that's it.

The phrase "continuing tradition" simply doesn't exist.

They are all overcoming the past to boldly embrace and challenge the future.

The wine you are familiar with may not contain alcohol, and the staple food may not contain starch, vegetables, or fresh meat. Appetizers may not necessarily be served first.

even.

A menu.

Ingredients can be repeated.

The same dish can be served in different forms at the same time.

In short, at this Disfrutar restaurant, nothing is "impossible"!

Soon after, two glasses of a refreshing summer drink, a smoothie, were placed in front of Alice and Leonora.

Traditionally, shaved ice is made by shaving ice with an ice shaver and adding condiments.

however.

The two glasses of smoothie in front of me.

It is made with non-alcoholic margarita, meringue, fig leaves, dried figs, and pickled green figs.

Eating it feels as cool and pleasant as being in a forest!

Next up was a very interesting liquid salad, which tasted like black pepper, pumpkin, oysters... The sensation was even more intense when you ate it with your eyes closed.

Followed by.

There is a big ball.

This ball looks like a large "truffle," but it's actually the restaurant's signature dish, panchino, which literally means bread.

This bread is made by filling a thin batter with nitrogen and frying it until crispy. It also contains cool caviar and is eaten with truffle vodka. Even the air squeezed out of your teeth is filled with the aroma of truffles.

Although Alice Nakiri had known about this famous molecular gastronomy dish for a long time.

But when she tasted it herself, she realized how delicious it was...

Shocking!

“Wow… so amazing!”

"Even if I, Alice, studied these molecular gastronomy dishes for several years, I might not be able to imagine them."

"Moreover, the taste is simply superb."

"It was delicious."

Chapter 62 Encounter

Just as Alice was engrossed in cooking.

Disfrutar's head chef, Casanias, approached the door with trepidation.

Then, a figure in a black suit walked gracefully towards them, his short hair fluttering gently in the breeze. As he got closer, his handsome and sunny face became clear.

The eyebrows are long and thick, as if they were lightly drawn with a brush.

Below her eyebrows were a pair of clear, bright eyes, like twinkling stars in the night sky, full of life.

At this moment, he walked in with steady and powerful steps, each step carrying a powerful aura that inspired awe in everyone.

……

"Are you Executive Officer Lin Xu?"

"Then, please follow me. We've specially prepared a molecular gastronomy dish of Dragon's Roar Strawberry for you!"

Casanias spoke respectfully, but his eyes held more fear than respect.

After all, they had received news more than a week ago that, in response to the recent operational difficulties of the Disfrutar restaurant, WGO headquarters' Special Executive Officer, Nakiri Managi, would dispatch an executive officer named Hayashi Asahi to investigate.

In other words.

Tonight, we're at this restaurant, ranked third in the world, which has achieved remarkable success in the field of molecular gastronomy.

Their fates were all in Lin Xu's hands.

"Ah."

"WGO really does have a mole!"

“I always go undercover to investigate restaurants, but I always manage to leak information and you guys find out my identity.”

Seeing the respectful Chef Casanias before him, Lin Xu's face darkened, and his murderous gaze kept fixed on him. He immediately became certain of a certain guess.

But in the end, he withdrew his gaze, a faint smile on his face.

"Never mind, business is more important."

"Chef Casanias, could you please lead the way?"

"Yes!"

"Executive Officer".

Casanias dared not act rashly and quickly turned around and went back into the restaurant.

Lin Xu followed closely behind him and went with him to the dining area of ​​the Disfrutar restaurant.

……

Wow!

"This dish is actually solid smoked butter with caviar!"

"Just as I expected, because the previous dish had a creamy, cloud-like texture that involved the teeth, this dish was transformed into a different type of oral experience."

"Mmm, let's eat..."

"Very fluffy."

"Moreover, there is a sense of fleeting nature."

"Just a light touch with the tongue, without any need to tear or chew with the teeth, and it's already incredibly fragrant."

Just then, a sweet voice came from in front of Lin Xu.

This caused Lin Xu, who had just found a seat, to focus his attention on a mother and daughter next to him before he even had a chance to take a closer look at the restaurant's environment.

All I can see is that...

The girl with short silver hair.

She has a tall and well-proportioned figure, just like a model who stepped out of a fashion magazine.

She possesses an elegant and charming aura, instantly attracting everyone's attention wherever she goes.

Beside her stood a young noblewoman whose face resembled a finely carved piece of mutton-fat jade, delicate and smooth, dressed in a magnificent silk dress with exquisite and elegant embroidery.

Her neck was long and slender, adorned with a dazzling diamond necklace that shone even brighter under the lights.

noble.

elegant.

Her figure is also graceful.

Just sitting there, he exudes an ethereal, otherworldly aura.

"Isn't it?"

"I just finished a trip to America."

"Then, after flying to Northern Europe, I unexpectedly ran into this mother and daughter?"

Upon seeing them, Lin Xu was inevitably stunned and murmured in confusion.

As the saying goes, those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away. Fate is indeed a wondrous thing; those destined to meet will always encounter each other. Just like now, perhaps in some unexpected moment, that person will suddenly appear.

According to the original story, Alice only appears during the residential training program, while her mother Leonora doesn't appear until the fall selection tournament.

In other words.

Now, with the unexpected arrival of himself, this "time traveler".

Many things have already exhibited a butterfly effect; encountering them too early may profoundly influence the trajectory of certain events in the future.

Of course, this will also profoundly affect Alice and Leonora's lives afterward.

"It seems this trip to Northern Europe is destined to be anything but boring!"

After thinking it over, Lin Xu had a slight understanding.

……

Dragon's Roar.

This term is actually a term from Zen Buddhism.

The phrase originated from the Song Dynasty Zen Buddhist text "Biyan Ji" (碧严集), which contains the phrase "dragon's roar rises with the clouds, tiger's howl gives rise to the wind." It was later introduced to Japan by the Japanese monk Dogen, who translated it as "龍吟じて雲起こり、虎嘯きて風生ず".

Japanese Zen Buddhism uses dry landscape gardens to aid in meditation.

This sentence.

The original meaning.

It should mean returning to the origin.

When meditating, the sound of the mountain wind passing through the dry branches of the trees is likened to the roar of a dragon.

The sound of the earth shaking from underground is likened to the roar of a tiger (there are many earthquakes in Japan). Let the dragon roar and the tiger howl come and go, I sit in meditation and remain unmoved, reaching the state of "a withered tree leaning against a cold forest, its heart unchanged through many springs".

However, its meaning completely changed during the Muromachi Shogunate period.

To interpret the meaning literally.

It became a metaphor for "power".

In the modern 21st century, a high-end restaurant in Japan started using this name as its name.

This shop specializes in making a unique dessert.

Later, this practice was gradually adopted by other upscale restaurants in Japan, which then named their establishments after this restaurant.

therefore.

The so-called Dragon's Roar Strawberry.

Despite its fancy name, it's actually just a dessert made with molecular gastronomy ingredients.
