"Before I ran away from home, I did hope that Nakamura Azami could take good care of Erina for me."
"But I really didn't expect him to do something so terrible to his daughter, leaving her with indelible emotional scars!"
Talking and talking.
Managi felt incredibly regretful, and a touch of inexplicable sadness.
After all, she believed that this tragic outcome was entirely her fault. If she hadn't been so willful in abandoning Erina and choosing to leave the Nakiri family alone, then…
Thinking of this, Managi's eyes were filled with desolation.
A hand gently rested on her fragrant shoulder, and the familiar scent so close to her intensified Managi's sadness.
Yes!
why?
Why couldn't I have met Lin Xu sooner?
If I had found Lin Xu sooner, and found a dish that could conquer the God Tongue, I wouldn't have had to make this choice so helplessly!
……
"Lin Xu".
Do you think I'm a terrible mother?
Managi, her eyes slightly misty, said.
"No."
On the contrary, I admire you!
Lin Xu looked directly at Nakiri Managi and replied earnestly.
Stop trying to make me happy.
"I know myself best, and I don't need your comfort."
Upon hearing this, Managi became even more discouraged.
"The Nakiri family, in my eyes, is actually a family that highly values tradition and responsibility. The Commander-in-Chief is like that, Erina is like that, and you... are even more so!"
"Therefore, it is not difficult to analyze your motives for running away from home."
"You!"
"It was only to protect Erina."
"To be free from the same pressure, and the psychological burden of being unable to cope with the tongue of God."
"That's why you resolutely left the Nakiri family to visit renowned chefs and cuisines around the world. You even went to great lengths to found a chef who could quickly satisfy God's Tongue, and founded the WGO Gourmet Organization!"
"Perhaps in other people's eyes, your behavior is a form of escapism."
"But at least to the Commander-in-Chief and me, you are..."
"Great Mother!"
……
"is it?"
"Do you really think so?"
Nakiri Managi stared blankly at Lin Xu, feeling a strange sense of emotion welling up inside her.
Chapter 80 Sharing the same bed
From a purely objective perspective.
Try to understand things from her perspective.
This moved Nakiri Managi, who felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.
Yes!
as a woman.
Not only do they have to support their large family,
They also had to endure the curse brought by the Tongue of God.
Honestly, she's lived a very tiring life these past few years, but no one seems to understand her. All others see is the glory of the Nakiri family and how she founded the WGO Gourmet Organization using her God Tongue ability!
however.
No one could have imagined it.
Behind the glamour lies the immense effort and dedication a woman must put in, and the countless other sacrifices she must make...
How much pain can one endure?
Although he had only known Lin Xu for a short time, he was able to understand his difficulties.
How could this not move her?
Managi naturally leaned her head on Lin Xu's shoulder, and the two of them looked so beautiful and natural in the warm and peaceful courtyard!
At this point, neither side had anything more to say.
……
"Ding dong!"
"The character Nakiri Managi, bound to the system, has received a +1 positive review after tasting the host's magic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the special recipe Crystal Sweet and Sour Pork and the cooking skill Fiery Cloud Palm."
"Ding dong!"
"Annie, the character bound to the system, has received a +1 positive review after tasting the host's magic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe for Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth."
Late at night, in a dimly lit room, there was a super luxurious bed, which upon closer inspection was made of expensive mahogany.
Lin Xu, who was lying in bed and just about to fall asleep, was woken up by a sudden system voice.
although.
The reward came a little late.
However, the system's reward this time greatly shocked Lin Xu.
First up is the Crystal Sweet and Sour Pork, which rivals the Crispy Fried Beef Noodles and is also featured in the food movie "The Chinese Feast".
In the movie, Ou Zhaofeng, the successor of the Zhao school of Manchu Han Imperial Feast, wrapped meat in a lot of sweet and sour sauce and then flash-frozen it with pure ice. As a result, the syrup quickly turned into a hard shell when it cooled down, while the meat inside was still warm!
In this way, juice can be released when it is picked up with chopsticks.
The most difficult part of this dish is to ensure that the sour sauce doesn't overpower the flavor of the meat.
……
And then.
It's a special skill, Fiery Cloud Palm.
This is a unique Shaolin martial art that allows one to generate flames in their palms through internal energy, which can then be used to fry eggs.
This skill, compared to the various superpowers that appeared later in the Food Wars! world, should be:
It's far beyond human comprehension!
At last.
This is the dish that breaks away from the stereotype of Sichuan cuisine as spicy and strong-flavored, namely boiled cabbage in clear broth.
This dish may seem plain and simple, but it is actually quite flavorful and contains a great deal of knowledge.
It requires selecting the finest Chinese cabbage hearts, adding seasoned chicken broth, and steaming it in a double boiler. The result is a soup with clear broth, tender cabbage hearts, and a refreshing taste.
It was Huang Jinglin who first created this in the imperial kitchen.
Later, Master Luo Guorong further developed and popularized it, making it a famous dish for state banquets.
"Fire Cloud Palm?"
"It's really good for frying or grilling eggs!"
He opened his palm and channeled his inner energy, and with a "whoosh," a small flame appeared.
Lin Xu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly.
……
"Lin Xu!"
Just then, a series of muttering sounds came from the next room. Lin Xu put away his Fire Cloud Palm and listened carefully!
"Ok?"
"Could it be Managi...?"
Lin Xu didn't care about anything else and got up to go to Managi's room.
He burst through the door, only to find that Managi had already struggled to get off the bed, weak and panting.
"Managi, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Lin Xu immediately helped her up.
Her pretty face and lips were still so pale that there wasn't a trace of blood in them, and her thin, clinging nightgown was already soaked with sweat, clinging to her body and revealing her curves!
Half-asleep, Managi heard Lin Xu's voice and struggled to open her eyes.
however.
The moment he opened his eyes, even Lin Xu was stunned.
It was because pink "hearts" appeared in her blood-red eyes.
"It hurts so much!"
……
It cannot be denied.
A person's life can be in danger if they don't eat.
Without the nutrient solution, Nakiri Managi would probably have starved to death long ago.
Therefore, food is a natural balm and comforter. The essence of ingesting food is to provide energy to the body, and sufficient energy is the foundation for the continuation of life.
In fact.
The brain encourages the body to perform the act of eating.
Its method is to secrete hormones, such as dopamine, to produce a feeling of pleasure in the body, thus making the body more willing to perform the corresponding behavior.
The brain's primary energy source is glucose, which is why carbohydrates are among the most addictive foods.
This is why, despite being cursed by the God Tongue and developing a strong aversion to food, Nakiri Managi still relentlessly pursues even more delicious dishes!
It was simply that hunger triumphed over reason!
Today, having tasted Lin Xu's magic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Managi is certainly far from satisfied.
Her cravings for food became very strong, and even began to manifest:
Food addiction!
……
"Samagi-sama."
At that moment, Annie burst in, panicking.
She quickly realized what was happening and was about to turn around and run to get the first-aid kit when she saw Masaki being held in Lin Xu's arms with her eyes tightly closed.
His most distinctive "bean-shaped eyebrows" were now furrowed, and he was muttering something indistinctly from time to time.
