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

Just as she was about to leave the room.

Suddenly, everything went black, and I felt as if I had hit a wall and fell backward.

"Ouch! That hurts so much!"

Alice covered her nose; her delicate, straight nose felt sore and dry, and tears were about to well up in her eyes.

"Why are you here?"

She wanted to yell at him, but when she looked up, she saw Lin Xu's puzzled look.

He swallowed the rest of his words.

"Lin Xu!"

Erina, who had been expressionless, was overjoyed to see Lin Xu suddenly standing in front of the room.

That sweet, longing call surprised even Hisako standing next to her.

at last.

She couldn't take it anymore.

He excitedly rushed towards Lin Xu.

Lin Xu was a little confused because he had just returned to Totsuki Academy and rushed to find Erina. He thought that it was very late and she should be sleeping.

As it turned out, even Alice, whom they had met in Northern Europe, was here, and they bumped into each other because they couldn't dodge in time!

Gazing at the figure she had been longing for, she rushed towards him.

Without further hesitation, Lin Xu quickly opened his arms and embraced Erina tightly.

……

I could smell that familiar body scent.

Lin Xu, who had been separated from her for more than two months, realized just how much he missed her. Well, this…

Proud!

Kind!

She is also a "young lady" with a rebellious streak.

The two embraced for a long time, and finally Erina peeked out from Lin Xu's arms first.

Those bright, ruby-like eyes were now gazing intently at the man she longed for day and night, the man who had made her lose her appetite.

Lin Xu saw this.

He reached out and gently stroked Erina's smooth cheek.

As he stroked her a few times, his dark, ink-like eyes filled with love.

At last.

His expression was full of tenderness.

He leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead!

……

Then, he gazed longingly at Erina's beautiful face.

My vision began to blur, and through the haze, Nakiri Managi's face slowly appeared before me. She looked angry, shy, or happy, but in the end, she returned to a helpless expression!

"strangeness."

"Why...did I think of Managi?"

Lin Xu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Since coming into this world, he has indeed met many women and had a lot of contact with them.

Perhaps so. As a time traveler, his arrival has affected many people!

The fates of characters like Managi Nakiri, Erina Nakiri, Alice Nakiri, Leonora Nakiri, Hinako Inui, and Anne are all undergoing changes.

However, their appearance is also influencing Lin Xu's life.

Take Nakiri Managi for example. Wasn't it only after going through many things with him that he was able to obtain the title of WGO Executive Officer?

……

At this moment.

Hisako and Alice saw Erina in broad daylight...

Oh no, it's evening now, and she's actually hugging Lin Xu tightly in public. That's not all, but she even willingly let him kiss her forehead!

The two women looked at each other, stunned into silence.

After a long while, Erina finally came to her senses, quickly reached out to push Lin Xu away, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

In her shyness, she glanced at them and saw four beautiful eyes staring blankly at her and Lin Xu, their mouths agape, as if they had been acupunctured.

What's wrong with you all?

"What do you mean by looking at me and Erina like that?"

Lin Xu said with a light laugh.

Erina, who was already lost in passion, became even more embarrassed after hearing Lin Xu's words.

If there were a cave at that moment, she would definitely crawl into it without hesitation, unwilling to appear in front of everyone.

Lin Xu's voice startled Hisako and Alice from their daze. They both spat and blushed, their beauty surpassing even the rosy clouds on the horizon.

……

"Cough cough."

"OK OK."

"If everyone's still awake, then I'll make some midnight snacks!"

“After all, I just returned to Totsuki from Paris, and I haven’t eaten yet, Erina… don’t just stand there, come and help me.”

After saying that, Lin Xu turned around and headed towards the kitchen, just like he knew how to do.

Erina also realized what was happening and quickly followed suit with light steps.

"when."

"She can have a man kiss her forehead?"

Alice stood there, stunned, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, feeling as if she were dreaming.

"Um... I don't know either!"

Hisako's delicate face was still flushed.

She probably never expected that Lin Xu, who had just returned to Totsuki, would be so bold.

Erina made no attempt to hide her feelings, openly displaying her deep affection for Alice.

……

One family's braised pork belly makes the whole village smell delicious.

Meat is always a staple on the dining table.

However, compared to the equally famous braised pork belly, the cooking process for braised pork belly is obviously more procedural.

The marbled pork belly, after being blanched, begins its immersive performance, starting with:

fry!

Once the oil in the pan is heated...

The meat sizzled and popped, developing beautiful tiger-skin patterns.

Then comes the "meat," a round earthen bowl where the meat is piled up tightly, like a small hill.

Finally, there was the "inverting"—a decisive, exhilarating, and extremely stimulating action. The formed mountain of flesh, trembling precariously, was inverted onto the plate, displaying an imposing presence.

There's no need to rush to remove the bowl from the freshly braised meat; serve it on the table with the plate and bowl intact.

Diners seemed to possess a lottery-like privilege; around the large round table, a group of people huddled together, removed their bowls, and each let out a collective sigh of satisfaction.

This meat looks so fresh and delicious.

This beautiful, glossy color is truly captivating.

……

In fact.

Braised pork belly is eaten in both the north and south of China, and there are all sorts of varieties.

The preparation process is roughly the same, but the side dishes used are unique, which has led to many different ways of eating braised pork.

Guangdong's braised pork with preserved mustard greens and Zhejiang's braised pork with dried preserved mustard greens have become the most popular versions of braised pork.

however.

People in Guangxi prefer taro with braised pork.

Braised pork belly with fermented bean curd is more common in northern China, especially in the northwest.

As for the Sichuan people who love spicy food, they also created a sweet braised pork belly dish.

At this moment, Lin Xu, who had come to the kitchen, was selecting a large piece of good-quality pork belly. Since it was evening, it wasn't advisable to eat anything too fatty, so the pork belly he chose had a relatively high lean meat ratio!

After washing it, put it in a pot and boil it with scallions, ginger, and cooking wine until it can be easily pierced with chopsticks and taken out.

After being fished out.

Use a toothpick to poke small holes in the skin, then apply white vinegar, dark soy sauce for color, and salt.

Next, wipe the pork dry and fry it.

Immediately after placing the food in the pot, cover it with the lid and wait until the popping sound stops before opening it again to prevent burns.

Fry until golden brown, then fry again. After frying, soak the pork belly in warm water. This step will make the skin of the braised pork belly soft and tender.

At last……

The most important part of making braised pork belly is preparing the sauce.

Mince the scallions, ginger, and garlic. Prepare 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cooking wine.

Cut the fried meat into small pieces and marinate it in sauce to let it absorb the flavor.

Steam in a pot.

Arrange the marinated pork skin side down.

Add the taro, pour the sauce over it, and steam over medium heat for about an hour. It's ready to serve!

……

at the same time.

Just as Lin Xu was busy making braised pork.

On the other side of the kitchen counter, Erina was also busy making fragrant sticky rice.

Don't underestimate sticky rice.

In Japan, there lived an old man named Murashima Takeshi.

Because he has focused on just one bowl of rice for 50 years, the rice he steams is not only soft and sticky, but also tastes excellent.

It's famous for its rice, which can be eaten without any side dishes, and many people come specifically to eat a bowl of this white rice. Therefore, it's known locally as:

The Rice Cooking Master!

Murashima Takeshi is so famous.

This is mainly related to the most primitive brick and tile furnace he used and the ancient production process he followed throughout.

This method of steaming rice effectively locks in moisture and preserves the original aroma of the rice!
