Chapter 7 Playing with Erina’s God’s Tongue
Li Yang looked at the two girls and was montarily taken aback. They looked sowhat familiar, as if he had seen them sowhere before. The girl with the golden long hair, exuding an air of arrogance, seed like the young lady of so prestigious family. The pink-haired girl beside her was clearly a sidekick, and she spoke first.
“Excuse , is this the restaurant that serves the extraordinary dish ‘Golden Fried Rice’?”
Although she spoke in Chinese, her tone sounded a bit strange. Li Yang didn’t think much about it. Since they had ntioned “extraordinary dish,” they were probably from the elite culinary circle. Since they were custors willing to pay, there was no reason not to serve them well.
“Welco to Midnight Restaurant. I’m the owner and chef here. The nu is on the wall, please feel free to choose,” Li Yang said, pointing to the nu on the wall.
There were only three different levels of golden fried rice available. Before the pink-haired girl could speak, the golden-haired girl scanned the nu, and a hint of disdain appeared on her otherwise expressionless face.
“Ha, they dare to write 100 points for Golden Fried Rice… what a big mouth!”
“I don’t believe a re civilian restaurant can cook a perfect dish… There’s no such thing as a perfect dish in this world, even for dragon-level chefs!”
Erina Zikichie had every right to say such things. With her God’s Tongue, she could taste the slightest flaw in any dish. Because of this, countless world-renowned chefs had spent a fortune to have her taste their food, hoping to find and fix any imperfections.
Among them were even tiger and Lin-level chefs. She had even tasted the dishes of dragon-level chefs. In fact, she had tasted Liu Long’s “Sun Fried Rice.”
In her mory, Liu Long’s “Sun Fried Rice” was the closest to perfection she had ever tasted.
There was no comparison!
It was made using only the most ordinary ingredients like rice and eggs, simple, humble ingredients—but it beca an almost perfect noble dish. Because of this, Liu Long was Erina’s idol!
Erina understood the connection between Sun Fried Rice and Golden Fried Rice. Liu Long had never managed to perfect the Golden Fried Rice and didn’t want to tarnish the legend of the “God Chef” Liu, so he renad it “Sun Fried Rice.”
But now, in this small civilian restaurant, soone was audacious enough to claim they could make perfect Golden Fried Rice?
Erina was furious!
Extrely angry!
Even though the chef of this restaurant looked quite handso, it couldn’t calm the fire in her heart. Moreover, Erina had co with skepticism. She had overheard the conversation between Senzoemon and Zhang Haoran.
Soone her age had apparently reached the level of a four- or even five-star chef?
What a joke!
Filled with a strong sense of injustice, Erina’s gaze towards Li Yang was full of hostility, with a hint of provocation.
“Give two portions of your ‘100-point Golden Fried Rice’… If I find any flaws, you’ll never be a chef again in your life!”
“I will announce to the world that you’re a fraud!”
Li Yang was stunned.
What the hell? This isn’t a custor—this is soone coming to challenge !
“Wait, who are you?”
Erina was slightly taken aback. Her reputation wasn’t just known in Japan—any chef with any skill level worldwide had heard of her na.
And yet, this man didn’t recognize her?
She beca even angrier!
Beside her, Fushiko Shinoto loyally defended her, saying, “This is Erina Zikichie, the 10th seat of the Far Moon Academy’s Top Ten!”
Li Yang instantly understood.
No wonder she looked familiar! She’s the “God’s Tongue”!
Li Yang’s gaze fixated on Erina’s mouth. He was curious about her tongue and wondered what made it so special. Erina, embarrassed and enraged by his stare, felt that his gaze was far too bold.
“Hey, are you going to cook or not? Are you scared?”
Li Yang waved his hand dismissively, nonchalantly replying, “I can’t cook it. Didn’t you see the note at the bottom of the nu?”
“If you want the 100-point Golden Fried Rice, you have to et my standards, and you…”
Li Yang glanced Erina up and down, his eyes showing slight disdain.
Who has the ti to play make-believe with a rich young lady like you?
Erina was instantly angered by his look. She had been considered a beauty since childhood, and especially now, as her looks had fully developed. Not only was she stunning, but her figure was also incredible.
What exactly is this guy finding wrong with her?
She was even more furious now.
“Hmph, I think you’re just scared! You can’t cook the perfect Golden Fried Rice. Before your true nature is exposed, you should just close up shop!”
Erina began to use reverse psychology. Li Yang was about to retort when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring again—soone else was coming in. This ti, it was the IGO delivery person.
Two security guards in suits, wearing sunglasses, entered, carrying a locked thermal box.
“Mr. Li, the one kilogram of Frosted Tofu you ordered online has arrived. Please sign for it.”
After Li Yang signed for it, the counter now had a transparent fresh-keeping box with a piece of tofu inside that looked like jade, crystal clear and moist. This sight made Erina’s heart skip a beat.
To be able to purchase extraordinary ingredients cultivated by IGO online ant that IGO had recognized Li Yang’s status as a star-level chef.
Even if he was only a one-star chef, it was still a level far beyond her, the 10th seat of the Far Moon Academy’s Top Ten. This was the gap in skill!
A trace of tears appeared in Erina’s eyes as she grew angry with herself. She ca from the most powerful culinary family in Japan, and with the God’s Tongue, a talent every chef dreams of.
But why, then, was she not even a one-star chef?
anwhile, this man in front of her, only two years older than her, had already been recognized by IGO as a star-level chef. The only thing missing was an official certificate.
Erina stood there, unwilling to sit or leave, her pride preventing her from retreating. She was also filled with strong curiosity about Li Yang and wanted to stay to investigate the truth.
Li Yang, after studying the Frosted Tofu, was thrilled to find that it was exactly the ingredient he needed. With this Frosted Tofu, he was confident that he could finally make Shao’an’s Magical Mapo Tofu reach over 90 points!
Seeing that Erina was still glaring at him with disbelief, Li Yang’s gaze once again fell on her lips. He was very curious about the God’s Tongue.
And…
“Is this considered an extraordinary skill?”
“If I can make a dish that satisfies Erina’s God’s Tongue, will I be able to copy her skill?”
The God’s Tongue was the ultimate talent for chefs!
Thinking about this, Li Yang smiled slightly.
“I’ve been experinting with new dishes lately, and I didn’t steam the rice for the Golden Fried Rice in advance, so I can’t make it right now.”
“How about this? If you’re interested, you can try my new dish… Magical Mapo Tofu. How about it?”
Li Yang had made up his mind. He wasn’t going to let Erina’s God’s Tongue go to waste. He would let her point out the flaws in his Magical Mapo Tofu while he improved his dish!
“I heard the God’s Tongue is very sensitive. I wonder if she’ll be brought to tears by the spiciness of the six-flavored Magical Mapo Tofu?”
Li Yang’s mischievous side was showing as he decided to play with Erina’s God’s Tongue!
