Like artists, cooking is often an art form.
Therefore, talent is a particularly important factor for a very carefree profession like cooking!
Among the many talents, the ability to taste is:
The most important thing!
……
Imagine.
If the chef's own sense of taste is not well developed.
How can he distinguish the different tastes of an ingredient under different cooking conditions?
When it comes to tasting red wine, some people only taste sourness, while others can taste different fruits, or even unique flavors like bark and herbs.
You might genuinely love food and enjoy cooking. But even if you practice for 16 hours a day, you might end up just being an excellent chef or an assistant to a top chef.
No matter how hard you try, there are limitations to your own sense of taste.
It will still prevent you from coming up with any truly eye-catching and creative flavor ideas!
……
"You've misunderstood."
"I do have a higher sensitivity to taste than the average person, and I can taste exactly how many kinds of ingredients are in a dish!"
"But it's still far from the level of the Tongue of God."
Erina's expression was somewhat complicated.
This sounds like a humble statement, but it proves the effort she put into making the kaiseki meal.
There was absolutely no depth or secret in front of Lin Xu.
why?
Could his abilities be so terrifyingly powerful?
"Being with you makes me feel more and more that I have been abandoned by the times."
The commander-in-chief looked Lin Xu up and down for a long time before sighing, "Lin Xu, you are very strong, even a well-rounded warrior with all attributes maxed out!"
“I cannot sense any fatal weakness in you.”
Lin Xu smiled but did not answer.
He has been reborn twice, and both times he was a professional chef.
Although he still has the system, he has long since broken free of his cocoon and emerged as a butterfly in terms of his own abilities.
some things.
He should have been more open-minded.
However, he did the opposite, becoming more like a worldly person than in his previous life.
To say he doesn't crave power would be a lie; otherwise, he wouldn't be serving as a second-class executive officer in Nakiri Managi's WGO.
……
and also.
Why come to Totsuki Academy?
On this issue, if it is said that he has high moral character and wants to selflessly pass on all his skills to these Totsuki students, then it is possible.
Well, Lin Xu could only say that he was overthinking it; he wasn't that noble.
The reason I came to Totsuki is twofold: firstly, the lecturer job is very easy, and secondly, there are so many cute girls here!
Like Erina, Hisako, Ikumi Mito, Megumi Tadokoro, Alice, Rindan, Momo Akanekubo, Ryoko Sakaki, Yuuki Yoshino, Nene Kinokunori... whatever type you want, we have it!
I interacted with them as a lecturer, and we got to know each other well—cough cough, we had in-depth exchanges.
Then, amidst their adoring and worshipful gazes…
Got it!
Click till.
……
The elegant dinner continued.
However, Erina chose to sit next to Lin Xu. Her careful eating manners were far more elegant and refined than Lin Xu's.
I ate a little.
She then felt full.
Then, he watched with great interest as Lin Xu kept eating.
Sudden.
In her heart.
Surprisingly, she didn't find his unpretentious way of eating at all offensive.
As she watched, Erina suddenly shook her head, wondering why she would have such thoughts. What was so good about him?
Lin Xu looked up and saw her frustrated expression. He couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What deep-seated grudge do I have against you? Why do you look like you want to eat me alive?"
"Who has a grudge against you?"
"I just feel... I feel... you always have to pretend to be so mysterious and unfathomable."
"But when I faced my kaiseki meal, my mouth was full of greasy bits of food."
"Hey!"
"Lecturer Lin."
"If you like my cooking, just say so. There's no need for all this."
Erina, said.
"I'm just hungry, okay?"
"Next time, could you please not make this kind of kaiseki cuisine that's so complicated and has such small portions?"
"There's only so much meat in this small dish. Look, you expect me to eat it slowly like you? How long will it take me to get full?"
"Normally I wouldn't care, but at 8:30 I have to go and review three or four restaurants!"
"So why bother pretending to be refined?"
Lin Xu, with a small piece of tempura in his mouth, mumbled something indistinctly.
"what?"
"I thought...you liked me..."
Upon hearing this, Erina became shy.
It turns out that from beginning to end, it was nothing more than wishful thinking on my part.
Hisako, the secretary beside him, pursed her lips as if she wanted to laugh, but in the end she held it in.
……
He looked at his granddaughter's shy expression.
The commander-in-chief, however, seemed to be deep in thought, and finally looked at Lin Xu with great appreciation.
school.
It's a small society!
Totsuki Academy is clearly the ideal society in the minds of most powerful individuals, namely:
A society where strength reigns supreme.
A powerful person can protect their interests, acquire vast wealth, and elevate their status.
I could even challenge the power center of the academy and show that I am more suited to be a leader!
All fantasy.
It all stems from despair about reality.
Therefore, in this context, everyone aspires to become a strong person.
However, the Nakiri family, which champions this elite education philosophy, is now facing a problem:
The Heir!
……
In the original work.
The commander-in-chief has two children, a boy and a girl, named Nakiri Souei and Nakiri Managi.
Therefore, according to the theory of bloodline, Alice Nakiri is a true member of the "main family" and is theoretically the most qualified successor to the Supreme Commander.
However, during a certain food battle, a second-year high school student named "Kyoichi Manjoume" showed no fear when facing Alice Nakiri, even though she was just a member of the Nakiri "branch family"!
However, in Lin Xu's view, his statement at the time was just a personal conjecture.
It's probably a conclusion drawn from someone's imagination, thinking that Alice isn't as valued as Erina!
……
Then.
The reason for this is that Erina eventually replaced him as the heir.
There are definitely two reasons.
The first one is definitely not Nakiri Muneshige. Judging from the original work, he indeed had no interest in the position of commander-in-chief.
They only want to develop the "Nakiri International" organization in the Nordic region and are committed to contracts and negotiations with external parties.
the second.
It is naturally the power of the tongue of God!
Chapter 52 Am I really that hated by you?
Those with ability rise to the top.
This is a tradition of Totsuki Academy and also a tradition of the Nakiri family. Otherwise, how could the decision have come later that the Elite Ten would collectively change their leader?
The reason Erina was chosen as the successor to the Supreme Commander was simply because of her silver tongue.
of course.
Another person played a decisive role, and that was:
Nagi-ri Azami!
……
indeed.
Alice is the true head of the family.
However, this is from the perspective of Chinese people. Although Japan and South Korea also have a system of primogeniture, there are still many differences.
For example, Japan has a system of adopting sons-in-law, which sometimes results in adopted sons or sons-in-law becoming heirs, surpassing the status of biological sons.
Although this family inheritance mechanism is not very common, everyone considers it normal.
Since ancient times.
This method of inheritance has been used by many prominent families, clans, and daimyo of the shogunate.
In Japanese, the father-in-law is called "義父" (yìfù), which is pronounced the same as "父" (fùfù).
The same reason.
The pronunciation of "婿养子" is the same as "儿子".
This shows that Japanese people consider a son-in-law to be half a son, which is different from China.
