Domoto Kawa wasn't optimistic that Renz could pull off a coback after re-making the sa dish. The God's Tongue had a classic side effect: the first taste of a new dish was always the best; the second taste would be a downgrade. In front of the God's Tongue, re-making a dish without changing ingredients or components was undoubtedly culinary suicide. Why? Why challenge the God's Tongue when he'd already secured a 4-A rating?
Domoto Kawa had already planned his exit route, so how could youthful arrogance lead to such a situation?! He grumbled inwardly.
On Erina's table, Renz's re-made ran sat perfectly. The portion was small. Erina had eaten the entire first bowl out of respect for Renz's cooking, so for the second serving, Renz, concerned about her appetite, only put a third of the noodles in. She ate slowly, chewing ticulously. Renz sat across from Erina at the table, unable to resist stealing glances at her as she ate.
As Erina tasted the ran, she noticed the poached egg nestled within the noodles. Her smile was uninhibited as she savored each bite. After taking a quiet sip of soup, Renz instinctively reached for a napkin from the table. Erina accepted the napkin Renz offered without hesitation, wiping her lips.
"I'll elaborate," Erina said, frowning as if savoring the lingering taste. "The soup base likely uses five different ingredients. For the vegetable elent in the broth, corn kernels were chosen as the main component, providing a solid texture. This added a sweetness to what was originally an all-vegetable broth. Of course, the most crucial elent in the entire dish is the handling of the noodles."
"The noodles are smooth yet resilient, chewy yet slick," she continued. "This truly tests the chef's skill." Erina kept highlighting the strengths of Renz's dish. "To achieve such a firm noodle, besides the technique, the control of heat and timing are extrely important." She continued to elaborate, adding several more key points.
Then, suddenly, she shifted her tone. "The previous bowl of ran wasn't bad, actually, but it lacked a certain flavor I was looking for."
"But this ran, I ate it with complete satisfaction!" Erina smiled contentedly. "Everything that was missing from the last bowl of ran has been fully compensated for in this one. I am satisfied, and my God's Tongue is equally satisfied!"
"Therefore!"
"My rating is...!"
"A-rating!"
"And this A-rating, compared to the previous dish, is even more deserving of the evaluation."
---
As her final assessnt landed, the entire venue erupted in murmurs again.
"Better than the last one?" Roland Chapelle was startled. He thought the bowl he ate was already the pinnacle of ran, enough to make soone who didn't even like the cuisine eat it all. "So what exactly did it have that the previous dish didn't?" Roland Chapelle continued to ponder the details. Was it an extra ingredient? An enhanced texture? Or a change in the soup base?
The cara crew began recording Erina's evaluation of the dish. Chief Director Domoto Kawa found himself in a state of existential confusion. He woke up, and the world had turned upside down. Throughout the day, the sheer number of plot twists had left him dizzy. The God's Tongue evaluation. A small restaurant owner. An all-star lineup of judges. Wasn't this guy dood?
Then, the master chefs of the all-star lineup were conquered. Although the God's Tongue didn't give the absolute best rating, it still achieved a 4-A rating. Domoto Kawa figured the matter was settled.
But then?! The small restaurant owner wasn't satisfied with the God's Tongue's reaction. He re-made the dish. Damn it. Was the God's Tongue soone who just ate another dish because you asked? Would she re-evaluate just because you requested it? Fine! She actually re-evaluated it. These two twists had already made Domoto Kawa question reality, but he wouldn't believe this absurdity, that everything today would be opposite to logic and common sense. You have to be reasonable, right?
Didn't the God's Tongue's palate decline after eating the sa dish twice? Would she develop a resistance to it? Yes! This was common knowledge. So, frankly, if this small restaurant owner used the sa dish against the God's Tongue, wasn't he dood? Wasn't defeat already sealed?
But to his utter surprise, this world was completely defying him. Was he crazy, or was this world crazy? After tasting the sa dish, the God's Tongue again gave a positive review and highly praised the dish.
Domoto Kawa was speechless. He was given three chances to guess the outco. The first ti, he thought the judges wouldn't give a good review, but it was the opposite. The second ti, he thought the God's Tongue wouldn't re-evaluate, and again, it was the opposite. The third ti, he believed the God's Tongue wouldn't give a good review for the sa dish, and still, it was the opposite.
Next to him, Renz calmly stated the na of the dish to the other mbers of the director's team who were interviewing him. "Special Renz Five-Spice Ran." As soone terrible at naming things, his self-made ran had a simple, unadorned na.
"And the chef's na?" the recording assistant from the cara crew asked.
"Renz," Renz stated his na.
"Alright," the assistant recorded the dish and the chef into the register. Now, the list of master dishes and chefs from the God's Tongue evaluation would have another na added.
But! Renz's actions this ti caused quite a stir. A 4-A rating itself was very rare. After receiving a 4-A rating, and then, facing the God's Tongue's initial dissatisfaction, he re-made the sa dish and still received a 4-A rating, once again subverting the audience's imagination. After this episode aired, Renz's na would undoubtedly beco famous in the culinary world! He had gained initial recognition! At least in the short term, no one would forget his na.
"Can I try your dish?" Domoto Kawa said, almost in tears. He was truly impressed. He swore he would never be soone who readily made judgnts again. Why not just be a director and watch the show, instead of bravely making predictions and having his pride repeatedly trampled by unpredictable situations?
"There's still so left in the pot," Renz replied, turning his head. "How many bowls?"
"One bowl, one bowl is enough. I've already had lunch; I'll just taste it." Domoto Kawa took a deep breath. He wanted to experience how delicious a dish praised by the God's Tongue could truly be!
However, is there sothing wrong with you, guy? You were so attentive to Erina, dishing out a smaller portion for her after she'd already eaten one bowl, and politely offering her a napkin when she finished. But when it was his turn to taste the dish, your attitude changed. He was also a diner, so why the two different reactions? Shouldn't there be a standard for custor service? At least a consistent attitude? You can't just be extra nice to people because they're pretty. Besides, just because soone is pretty doesn't an they'll be your wife in the future. What's the point of being so diligent now?
Domoto Kawa silently grumbled about this differential treatnt. When Renz served him a bowl of ran, he rubbed his hands together, ready to savor it.
"If you want more later, add it yourself," Renz said, pointing, as he still had to receive a culinary interview from the director's team and was quite busy.
In front of him, a beautiful interviewer specially invited by the director's team picked up the microphone and asked, "Excuse , Mr. Renz, did you develop this ran dish yourself?"
Well, obviously. In this day and age, who still locks themselves away to develop dishes? Don't you need to ask your wife to taste-test or sothing? But rembering what Erina had told him, Renz knew it wasn't the right ti to expose their secret relationship. There was no way. Renz was currently a penniless guy, his initial capital borrowed from Erina. If his situation got out, he'd probably get his legs broken by the Nakiri family for trying to marry into their household. After all, the great tsundere he'd "abducted" wasn't just the God's Tongue, but also the most talented chef of the current Nakiri generation. Besides, Erina was a public figure. If he jumped out now, wouldn't it affect her career developnt? He had to wait until his own career had taken off before revealing anything.
However, he didn't need to expose his wife's identity, but that didn't an he couldn't show off his wife. Renz opened his mouth and delivered a bold line.
"Don't you have a partner to research dishes with you?"
