Shinjii Takahashiâs expression was a mix of awkwardness and seriousness. "Comrade, this is a cooking show. Youâve got the wrong channel," he said, composed. freewebnoveâ.com
Renz was momentarily stunned. But I learned cooking precisely to satisfy Erinaâs Godâs Tongue. If it werenât for her Godâs Tongue having side effects, heâd never have bothered with the tedious art of cooking.
Many culinary details, if not perfectly executed, could ruin the entire flavor. Mastering many dishes took hundreds, even thousands, of hours of refinement. If Erina didnât have the side effects of her Godâs Tongue, Renz would never have learned to cook; heâd simply have Erina cook for him. It would have been the direct entry into the scientific art of being pampered.
Renz also understood his father-in-lawâs expectations. The old man wanted Renzâs cooking to satisfy the Godâs Tongue. If he could achieve that, Erinaâs life would be fundamentally guaranteed.
If Renz could cook something that satisfied the Godâs Tongue, heâd earn high marks in the old manâs eyes. Proposing and revealing their already-married status would naturally follow. Satisfying the Godâs Tongue and proposing were intertwined. Renz truly didnât mean to "change channels."
"Canât one propose... on a cooking show?" Renz asked, somewhat innocently.
Shinjii Takahashi paused. It seemed... there really wasnât any rule against it. A proposal could happen anywhere; proposing on a show was a kind of romance. It wasnât as if a cooking show couldnât feature a proposal.
"Youâve stumped me with that question," Shinjii said, bewildered. "I suppose... itâs possible?"
"Then I think filming this for the promotional video is fine," Renz said. Since there was no issue, why shouldnât they film it? Besides, it wasnât a real proposal; he and Erina were already married. This was just a statement to let the old man know that Renz wasnât merely talking about marriage. He had a plan to handle the Godâs Tongue issue. frŃewebnoŃ”Äl.com
Shinjii Takahashi fell silent for a moment. "Itâs not a problem, but thereâs a question I want to ask: Isnât satisfying the Godâs Tongue... harder than winning this competition?"
The question caught Shinjii off guard. His attention had been consumed by the word "marriage," but now he realized that Renz was full of strange remarks.
There was a great unsolved mystery in the culinary world: how to satisfy Mana Nakiri. Mana Nakiri, a perennial judge at international culinary competitions, rarely found a dish that truly satisfied her. Could their "Midnight Chef" culinary program compete with those world-class events? Obviously not.
This was just a makeshift setup. The only commendable aspect compared to international competitions was that its chefs were underground, self-taught, and had unique culinary styles. But still, there was no comparison.
Shinjii believed the winner of this show would be a one-hit wonder at world-class competitions. Satisfying the Godâs Tongue... wasnât that just setting himself up for failure? Filming a promotional video where he declared his goal to satisfy the Godâs Tongue seemed like a recipe for ridicule. Mana Nakiriâs palate was notoriously discerning.
Renz listened, acknowledging the difficulty. Indeed, it was hard. The Godâs Tongue was incredibly tough to satisfy, and as more food was consumed, its resistance to similar dishes only grew. To continuously satisfy the Godâs Tongue and make it ecstatic, one had to constantly innovate. Creating new dishes meant constantly researching new cuisines and ingredients.
But this was just to satisfy the Godâs Tongue and make it ecstatic. Renzâs lifestyle was about improving Erinaâs quality of life. If it were just about getting the Godâs Tongue to eat something, that wouldnât be hard.
It meant there were no mistakes from start to finish in the cooking process. Doing so would allow the Godâs Tongue to eat the food because the power of the Godâs Tongue was its ability to magnify flaws. It could detect imperfections and amplify them. For meat dishes, this was especially true.
If even the smallest detail was mishandled, the gamey smell or raw blood taste of the meat could overwhelm the dish. When the Godâs Tongue detected such a flaw, it was like forcing it to taste raw or even rotten meat. Zero errors was the baseline for the Godâs Tongue to eat the food. Innovation, creating new things, and new flavors were what truly satisfied it.
In his early years, Renz focused on zero errors, developing a precise, flawless cooking process. In his middle years, he shifted to improving Erinaâs quality of life, constantly exploring new dishes and developing unique techniques.
Renz felt that satisfying Mana Nakiri just once wouldnât be difficult. His biggest fear was that if his mother-in-law tasted his cooking, sheâd constantly long for it, obsess over it, and create huge problems for him.
Renz wanted to tell Shinjii, "Satisfying the Godâs Tongue isnât hard; anyone with hands can do it." But he thought better of itâsuch a statement would be too arrogant.
"It is quite difficult, but that doesnât mean itâs impossible. Even if it seems impossible, I have to try. After all, Erina also has the Godâs Tongue, and our married life will need to make it happy," Renz said earnestly.
"Alright, alright, thatâs enough talk. Iâve finished writing the general script for your promotional video. Weâll head to the studio for filming soon," Shinjii said, waving his hand, stopping Renzâs "persecution."
It was absurd. Shinjii didnât think Renz was intentionally showing off their affection. Such displays were usually obvious and felt fake. The problem was that Renzâs conversation didnât seem to have that element. Could such a conversation automatically veer off-topic like that? Are you kidding me?
