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

Page 54

Alice couldn't help but tug at her mother Leonora's dress a few times, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Leonora was also somewhat stunned.

This person is like the sun, radiating boundless light.

He constantly attracted the attention of everyone present, especially the girls, who found it impossible to resist his charm.

He looks only 20 years old, but his powerful aura, outstanding appearance, and unusually serious composure and calmness would melt even the coldest girl.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

If only I were 20 years younger, and could return to the romantic and innocent age of my teens.

Then, she will definitely fall deeply in love with him and launch a fierce "LOVE" pursuit!

"I don't know who it is either."

"But looking at his handsome appearance, he doesn't seem like a Japanese person at all, more like..."

"Chinese?"

Leonora couldn't help but sigh softly.

For the chef of the world's third-ranked restaurant to behave so humbly, the person in front of you must hold a pivotal position in the entire culinary world!

However, Nakiri, the head of the international department who was skilled in diplomatic affairs, had no recollection of him whatsoever.

Shouldn't it?

Was he really just an ordinary diner?

"what?"

"I heard it's at the WGO headquarters."

“Recently, Nakiri Managi promoted a Chinese person to the position of Second-Class Executive Officer, and made him take over the restaurant evaluation work throughout Japan in place of Rantabi.”

"Could it be that this short-haired black boy in front of me is...?"

Thinking it over, Leonora murmured to herself.

Alice, who was watching her mother closely, blinked and thought to herself:

WGO?

Is it that mysterious food organization?

Wait, it seems we're going to visit Kuraj, the first-class executive officer of the Nordic branch, next?

what?

I've heard that the entire WGO organization only has about a dozen executives, right?

How come there are two in Northern Europe?

The more Alice thought about it, the more confused she became, so she could only raise her head and stare intently at Lin Xu beside her.

Her blood-red eyes darted around, scrutinizing Lin Xu from head to toe. She wanted to imprint every inch of him in her mind.

"Huh? Is there something on my face?"

Seeing that Alice kept looking at him, Lin Xu could only turn his head, blink, and ask curiously.

"No...no, your face is perfectly clean!"

Alice's face flushed instantly, and she quickly turned her head away, no longer daring to look him in the eye.

"Just watch it if you want."

“I’m a very generous person, unlike some people who are so hesitant and timid.”

"what?"

"shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Alice couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

But to be fair, Lin Xu's few words quickly turned the awkward atmosphere into a cheerful one.

Alice gradually realized that Lin Xu did indeed appear very intimidating; his imposing presence, even without anger, often inspired fear. However, once they got to know each other, he wasn't so aloof at all!

……

At the age of 6.

Alice then followed her mother, Leonora, to Northern Europe, where she lived for a full ten years.

Over the past ten years, she has inevitably been lonely.

On the one hand, she has to stay in the laboratory every day, researching various theories and things related to chemistry, physics, food, and advanced instruments, and rarely has time to go out and meet friends.

On the other hand.

She is skilled in molecular gastronomy, and the elite education she received at Totsuki Culinary Academy once compelled her to try to conquer others through her cooking.

However, Nordic culture has always emphasized equality and simplicity.

In such an environment.

With her extremely competitive nature, she naturally found it difficult to adapt.

In the past, she would miss her cousin Erina Nakiri, who lived far away, and would write to her many times to express her pain and loneliness.

No matter how many letters she sent to Japan, the outcome was always the same:

No news!

Therefore.

She was truly lonely.

If it weren't for her mother's constant support, she might have developed depression!

Now, she has finally met a man who is a few years younger than her, and he is quite mysterious.

Therefore, Alice quickly struck up a lively conversation with him.

……

"What did you say?"

"Are those tofu products on the market also part of molecular gastronomy?"

"what?"

How would I know how to make tofu?

As they chatted, Alice was visibly shocked to learn that molecular gastronomy didn't have to be high-end and could be accessible to everyone.

She was even more astonished when Lin Xu used tofu as an example.

Leonora was quite surprised to see her daughter chatting so enthusiastically with Lin Xu, whom she had only recently met, that she didn't even have a chance to interject.

Followed by.

She began to think.

Finally, as if remembering something, he said, "It seems so!"

"From the perspective of disrupting molecular structure, tofu is actually the most perfect dish for Ryugin cuisine. It not only completely eliminates the beany taste of soybeans, but also brings out the most perfect protein flavor!"

Obvious.

Molecular gastronomy doesn't have to be high-end; it can also be very down-to-earth.

Many common foods also fall under the category of molecular gastronomy, making them affordable for everyone, regardless of wealth. For example:

Cotton candy is a favorite among children.

Making marshmallows requires high-temperature heating.

The heat from granulated sugar breaks down the crystal structure, turning the sugar into syrup. In a high-speed rotating machine, the sugar is then spun into extremely fine strands through centrifugal force.

When exposed to air and cooled, it becomes cotton-like, and the sugar changes from granular to thread-like, thus altering the flavor.

The same applies to the most common way to make tofu on the dining table.

tofu.

Soy milk needs to be cooked first.

Soy milk is a colloidal solution of soybean protein.

Because the like charges on the surface of protein colloidal particles repel each other, the particles do not collide and the bonding state is relatively stable.

Brine-cooked tofu is made by adding sufficient electrolytes to protein colloids.

The positively charged calcium and magnesium ions in the electrolyte neutralize the negative charge on the protein particles, promoting the aggregation and precipitation of the dispersed protein particles into a solid, which is the tofu we commonly see.

From soy milk to tofu, the protein form changes, and the texture is different as well.

In addition, the tapioca pearls, preserved eggs, cheese powder, and other ingredients in bubble tea can all be considered part of molecular gastronomy in a broader sense.

The word “expensive”.

It has nothing to do with molecular gastronomy.

They simply raise prices because it's novel and has a lot of hype.

Chapter 65 An Inescapable Cage

late at night.

Paris, France!

The rain poured down, pattering against the cobblestones along the Seine, splashing up layers of water droplets.

Along the streets, the streetlights cast a dim, yellowish glow in the rain, but the light was also shattered by the raindrops, adding a touch of haziness and dreaminess to the rainy night.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The thunder roared like the furious cry of an ancient war god.

The sound echoed intermittently in the Parisian night sky, each boom inspiring awe and seemingly penetrating the soul.

……

at this time.

At WGO headquarters.

Wearing a loose nightgown, Nakiri Managi was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, instantly illuminating the entire dormitory. Managi's state was far from calm.

Her pale, pretty face, like clouds dyed by the sunset, displayed an unnatural flush. And that redness spread from her cheeks all the way down to her neck, as if a fire were burning fiercely within her!

Breathing, rapid and heavy.

It's like working a bellows, making a "whooshing" sound with each inhale and exhale.

Her breasts.

It rose and fell violently with each breath.

My whole body writhed uncontrollably on the bed, like a caterpillar struggling on land.

His limbs were slightly curled up, and he would stretch them out from time to time, probably trying to find a position that would make him a little more comfortable, but he was never able to find one.

"Hmm~"

"It hurts so much!"

Managi couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

The emptiness of not being able to enjoy food for a long time made her feel very uncomfortable in the quiet of the night.

Her brows were furrowed tightly, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat that slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the pillow, spreading out as tiny water stains.

At this moment, she...

His eyes were clearly filled with pain.

Finally, all she could do was whisper to herself, "Annie, I really... really... am going to die..."
