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

"The addition of taro paste is the finishing touch to this soup."

"The smooth and delicate texture adds a touch of richness and fullness to the soup base, making it more refreshing to taste."

"mushroom."

"kelp."

"As two masters of seasoning in broth."

"Mushrooms, with their delicious aroma, infuse the soup base with soul; it's a primal flavor from deep in the mountains and forests, pure and profound."

"Seaweed, with its unique flavor, adds a refreshing touch to this vegetarian broth."

"The combination of the two elevates the entire soup to a supreme level!"

……

Swallowed.

Lin Xu closed his eyes to savor the lingering aftertaste.

Sure enough, the wonderful flavor of this bowl of fragrant ramen soup goes far beyond that.

Chili oil!

姜！

Jōichirō also added these two things to the soup.

This makes the broth rich but not greasy, while adding a touch of spicy stimulation, like a "little happiness" in life, allowing people to feel a touch of warmth while tasting it.

The ingredients further highlight Joichiro's meticulous skills as "the strongest chef in the world today".

Every single ingredient.

Each piece was handled independently and meticulously crafted.

Only at the very end, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, did they cleverly come together.

The smoothness of tofu, the freshness of mushrooms, the crispness of green vegetables... each ingredient retains its unique flavor and texture.

Yet they can coexist harmoniously within the embrace of the broth, together weaving a tapestry of flavors.

The most amazing ingredient is a type of condiment called "tambe".

……

Danbei.

A fermented soybean food originating in Indonesia, Southeast Asia.

It is high in protein and amino acids, earning it the nickname "meat for vegetarians." It can be used to cook a variety of different dishes and is a natural meat substitute.

I just took a bite.

Although the taste of the Tambe is very refreshing and bland.

But the portion felt generous, and the texture of the tampons was like meat.

At the same time, soy sauce and rice wine are added to the tempeh, which makes the tempeh wrapped on the ramen noodles more fragrant.

"Danbei?"

"I remember that's an ingredient unique to Indonesia, right?"

Lin Xu took a deep breath, then looked up and said to Cheng Yilang.

"Oh? You recognize this as Danbei?"

Yukihira Joichiro was surprised and quickly explained, "When I was wandering around, I met a high monk. Because he was a Buddhist, he only ate vegetarian food and did not eat meat."

"So I used this local ingredient, the tampons, and tried my best to make a vegetarian broth!"

Lin Xu nodded and said, "Not bad, that's a great idea."

In the original storyline.

After the incident of dropping out of Totsuki Academy, a disheartened Joichiro completely disappeared from people's sight.

For a period of time afterward, he actually traveled around the world alone. After witnessing the cuisine, ingredients, and food culture of various places, his culinary skills were able to be integrated and he gained new insights!

This is truly reflected in this bowl of fragrant ramen.

Chapter 35 Lin Xu, I miss you so much!

france.

Paris, the city of romance, WGO headquarters.

Before Managi lay not an ordinary object, but a magnificent golden cupcake.

This cake is by no means made hastily from ordinary batter and ingredients.

Its base is made with top-quality vanilla beans from Uganda, whose rich aroma can instantly transport you to the distant African continent, allowing you to experience its purity and pristine beauty.

And those that blend in with it.

It is a high-quality chocolate imported from Italy.

Silky smooth.

exquisite.

It's captivating.

However, the amazing thing about this cupcake goes far beyond that.

On the top layer, the shimmering 23K gold leaf shines like twinkling stars, dazzling and eye-catching.

The golden-wrapped strawberries, like precious jewels, adorn the cake, adding a touch of luxury and elegance.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's made up of the essence of top-quality ingredients from all over the world.

……

This cake is called the Golden Phoenix Cupcake.

The name sounds a bit rustic, but if you were told it's a snack from Dubai, it would cost a whopping $1.8 per unit.

It's the signature dish of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Bloomsbury and is hailed as one of the most expensive cakes in the world, so you might not think it's "tacky" anymore.

That's right.

The key is the "gold" in its name.

Because they are all decorated with gold leaf, both their names and their overall style perfectly match the image of a nouveau riche!

An IV tube was inserted into the back of her hand, and clear nutrient solution dripped into Managi's frail body, trying to dispel the persistent pain.

However, not eating for a long time has made her face even paler than it had been a few days ago.

Like a blank sheet of paper, it exudes a sense of weakness and powerlessness.

inside the room.

A faint aroma of cake filled the air.

The occasional wisp of fresh air drifting in from outside the window seemed unable to dispel the gloom in her heart.

Then, Nakiri Managi's gaze fell on the cupcake, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Her taste buds, tormented by the "God's Tongue," had become unusually sensitive. She felt both anticipation and fear towards this seemingly delicious dessert.

……

The reputation of Golden Phoenix Cupcakes.

She had heard about it before and knew it was expensive.

However, at this moment, she worried that her body could not withstand such luxury.

But in the end, courage and hunger triumphed over reason. Under Anne's tense gaze, she slowly reached out her hand and lightly touched the gold paper cup with her fingertips.

I carefully picked up the paper cup and examined it closely for a few moments...

Golden luster.

Exquisite decoration.

Its beautiful and elegant appearance stirred a strange sense of anticipation within her.

Then, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, and brought the cake to her mouth.

At that moment, she felt like her heart was about to stop beating.

……

"Ah... mmm!"

He opened his mouth and took a small bite.

The cake's delicacy and the chocolate's richness quickly spread on the tongue, but this was followed by a feeling of nausea.

Like a tidal wave, it burst forth from the depths of Managi's heart in an instant, overwhelming all her senses.

Suddenly.

I felt a tightness in my throat.

My stomach churned, and a sour liquid rushed up my throat.

Before Managi could react, she had already vomited it all up.

"Lady Managi, are you...are you alright?"

Beside her, Annie became even more nervous, quickly moving closer and patting her shoulder repeatedly, asking with concern.

Managi's face turned extremely pale. She leaned weakly against the chair, panting heavily.

why?

Why is it?

They can now enjoy Lin Xu's cooking without any side effects!

But why are other people's dishes still not good?

This luxurious cupcake may still be an unbearable curse for her, causing her distress.

She felt a pang of regret, regretting that she shouldn't have let Lin Xu go to Totsuki Academy in the first place.

Yup!

We must keep him by our side.

……

Moonlight shone through the half-drawn curtains.

The dappled sunlight filtering through Nakiri Managi's garden adds a touch of gentle color to this tranquil space.

Managi, whose complexion was slightly better, sat on the table in a kneeling position, but she was tightly clutching a photograph in her hand.

That was a heartwarming moment between her and Lin Xu after that work meeting.

Take a closer look.

Lin Xu in the photo has a sunny and warm smile.

He also exudes an indescribable composure and confidence; a glance or a smile seems to have magic, easily piercing through a fragile heart!

Meanwhile, Managi gazed at him tenderly, her deep-seated love and expectation flowing like a gentle stream.

Ah!

Needless to say.

At that time, it was Lin Xu who saved Managi with his cooking.

Therefore, when this group photo was taken, Managi's eyes were indeed only on Rin Xu.

……

gradually.

Managi's thoughts, like the willow branches swaying gently outside the window, danced in the wind, tender and delicate.
