The system's voice rang in Lin Xu's mind once again.
Chapter 11 The Curse of the God Tongue
Night falls.
France, a city called "Paris".
The Eiffel Tower gleams under the dazzling lights, like a giant guarding this romantic city.
On the Champs-Élysées, neon lights flashed incessantly, pedestrians thronged the streets, warm lights shone from the cafes, and the air was filled with the aroma of coffee and French desserts.
Louvre.
It appears even more solemn in the night.
The glass pyramid is even more beautiful inside than during the day.
Street artists adorn the city's nights with music and paintbrushes, and every detail exudes the unique charm of Paris.
……
romantic!
free!
This is the charm of Paris.
However, its status in the entire culinary world is even more legendary.
While the fame of French cuisine certainly plays a part, the more important reason lies in the fact that the headquarters of the most authoritative WGO (World Food Organization) is located here!
At this moment, a magnificent architectural complex, blending modern and classical elements, stands in the heart of the bustling city.
From a distance, the silver facade shimmered softly under the gentle moonlight.
The massive glass curtain wall not only reflects the silhouette of the surrounding city, but also amplifies the solemnity and modernity, inspiring awe and respect.
In front of the gate is a wide square.
Flags from various countries fluttered in the evening breeze.
They are not only symbols of their respective countries, but also a proud declaration of WGO as a cross-border organization dedicated to promoting and evaluating global culinary culture.
……
On one side of many tall buildings.
There was an antique courtyard, where a noblewoman dressed in a gorgeous kimono was kneeling quietly.
A gentle breeze blew by, stirring her soft hair and the delicate hem of her kimono.
picture.
Beautiful and serene!
Her face was gentle and graceful.
With her eyes slightly closed, she was immersed in boundless tranquility.
All around, the soft light emanating from the stone lanterns reflects on the well-arranged dry landscape, adding a touch of Zen.
The petals beneath the tree danced gently in the breeze, slowly drifting down. Everything seemed so harmonious that time seemed to stand still, leaving only her serene and elegant demeanor, detached from worldly concerns.
……
After a long time.
Nakiri Managi, who had been malnourished due to prolonged fasting, finally opened her eyes.
Immediately, her gaze became fixed on the exquisite and delicious dish placed before her:
Truffle foie gras, sweet wine, and onions!
This dish was created by Arnold Tanclec, a three-star chef recognized by the WGO (World Food Organization) and one of the most famous chefs in France.
WGO once described Tangler as "the alchemist of the entire culinary world" and "the one who emphasizes perfume the most."
This doesn't mean he has the extraordinary ability to turn fossils into gold, nor does it mean he can create incredible wealth through cooking!
Rather, it was his philosophy of life that he always believed:
Sauce, something seemingly insignificant, can not only be used as a binder for dishes, but also as the starting point for a menu.
He even personally named it "Absolute Existence".
Influenced by this concept.
Every dish he makes is infused with fresh vegetables and herbs to create a unique aroma.
The most famous one is the truffle foie gras sweet wine and green onion dish in front of Nakiri Managi.
……
"Samagi-sama."
"This chef was trusted by the five-star hotel in Sant'Tepelo when he was only 20 years old."
He worked as a kitchen helper at a restaurant called La Vague d'Or, where he later reached the peak of his career and began to seriously understand and explore ways to express the essence of French cuisine.
"In the traditional understanding of French cuisine."
"Sauces often appear only as a background, garnish, feature, or somewhere in between for a dish."
"But in his eyes, the sauce is far more important than that."
"It is said that once when he was preparing French cuisine, he tried to make a brand new balsamic vinegar."
"This balsamic vinegar, hastily made after blending warm ginger, herb juice, grapefruit and lemon zest, and extra virgin olive oil, has become an explosion of deliciousness in French cuisine!"
"Therefore, he became even more convinced that sauces hold the essence of the French culinary myth."
"Here!"
"look."
"This dish of truffle foie gras, sweet wine, and green onions is laid out before you."
"This is the most successful dish he has persisted in for decades!"
Just when the atmosphere was particularly pleasant, the personal secretary Annie picked up a restaurant review book called "THE BOOK," quickly flipped to a page, and started rambling on.
"Oh? You mean..."
"He found his strength in the sauces, which are both important and easily underestimated elements of French cuisine."
"Finally, they successfully created a highly distinctive culinary style?"
Managi stared blankly at the plate of truffle, foie gras, sweet wine, and scallions, then, without much expression on her face, she spoke to Annie.
"Yes."
"Like this French dish that features high-end ingredients such as truffles and foie gras."
"The accompanying sauce is a shellfish sauce with jasmine and elderberry. The pure white sauce is placed in a miniature copper spray bottle and sprinkled onto the plate after serving."
"According to his description, the depth and richness of the sauce will be more apparent when it is in its natural state."
"Afterwards, the flavor will be enhanced with each chewing motion."
Anne explained.
"Interesting, let me see."
"Could this truffle foie gras, sweet wine, and scallion dish become the second course to conquer my divine palate?"
After she finished speaking, she straightened her posture, and her previously lazy eyes became sharp.
……
The rest.
She mustered her courage and picked up the knife and fork beside her.
He cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
At first, the delicate foie gras melts quickly on the tongue, its smooth texture carrying a subtle aroma of oil.
The indescribable forest fragrance of top-grade black truffles blends and influences each other, instantly transporting one to the vast land and boundless ocean.
The heartfelt conversation between these two premium ingredients left Managi somewhat stunned.
Clearly, she hadn't anticipated that this kind of cooking would allow God's Tongue to adapt for a little while.
Ok.
It really was just a fleeting moment!
Soon, an indescribable feeling of nausea rose rapidly from the bottom of her stomach, crashing against her fragile digestive system wave after wave.
……
Logically speaking.
If an ordinary person could eat such delicious food, they would probably lick the plate clean.
However, Nakiri Managi, who possesses the God Tongue, feels extremely uncomfortable!
"Annie!"
"Help...help me, I'm going to throw up..."
In the courtyard, Nakiri Managi's desperate voice finally rang out.
Chapter 12 WGO Gourmet Organization
Ouch!
In unbearable pain, Managi reached her limit.
She could no longer hold back; her body suddenly convulsed, followed by a series of rapid and painful vomiting sounds.
Subsequently.
Nakiri Managi's body was instantly drained of its energy.
His meager strength vanished completely with each wave of vomiting.
Helpless, she could only collapse to the ground, her back against the cold wall. The legs that had once supported her through countless hardships and challenges no longer had the strength to lift them!
Worse still, their bodies, weakened by prolonged hunger, could no longer hold on.
On the forehead.
Fine beads of sweat began to gather.
Like dewdrops on grass in the early morning, sparkling with crystalline light, yet also reflecting her current weakness and vulnerability.
His face was frighteningly pale, making one feel pity involuntarily.
……
See this situation.
Anne, the personal secretary, felt a pang of anxiety.
She knew that such violent vomiting would lead to "internal environment electrolyte imbalance" and the loss of a large amount of potassium through the kidneys.
Because metabolic alkalosis caused by vomiting can increase renal potassium excretion, and the decrease in blood volume caused by vomiting can also promote renal potassium excretion through secondary aldosterone increase.
The result of the kidneys excreting potassium is "potassium loss".
In addition, the lack of food intake and long-term malnutrition make this situation even more important.
Common symptoms of potassium deficiency include muscle weakness and flaccid paralysis.
Every second is crucial at this moment.
Without further hesitation, Anne hurried to the small room next to the courtyard, where various essential medicines were stored.
Her small hands trembled involuntarily with nervousness, but her movements were unusually firm.
"Crench!"
With a soft sound.
