"Mmm~"
"I see."
"The base uses high-grade glutinous rice, slow-cooked with clear, sweet spring water until the grains are soft yet chewy."
"After slow cooking, the rice aroma permeates, and every grain of rice has absorbed the water, becoming plump and elastic."
"And the addition of red amaranth."
"Adds a touch of vibrancy and warmth to this bowl of porridge."
"Red amaranth, like the shyness on a girl's cheek, quietly releases that vibrant red, intertwining with the creamy white porridge base, adding vitality!"
"Golden pumpkin cubes, lightly steamed and mashed, blend into the porridge, bringing a warm and sweet aroma."
"Green beans, crisp and delicious."
"Longan pulp, round and plump, like brilliant pearls embedded in the porridge."
"Overall."
"It's very sweet, but not cloying!"
Nagikiri Manaka savored the taste of the Rainbow Porridge, still wanting more.
…
Simple, yet exquisite ingredient pairing.
This bowl of Rainbow Porridge achieved a level that even the God's Tongue found difficult to fully describe.
Not only that.
The meticulous Chu Yang also gently sprinkled some mint leaves on the surface of the porridge.
That sudden refreshing sensation, even the most demanding "taste critic" Nagikiri Manaka, had to admit:
The delicious miracle created by these simple ingredients was enough to conquer all picky palates in the world!
…
She swallowed.
Nagikiri Manaka's bright eyes sparkled with an unusual light.
It was an inexpressible satisfaction and a lingering desire after the ultimate enjoyment of food.
A faint smile hung on her lips, as if it wasn't just a bowl of porridge, but a dual feast for the taste buds and the soul.
As this sense of satisfaction gradually ascended, the surrounding environment slowly began to change.
One could see.
The originally calm air began to gently tremble.
It was as if some invisible force was pulling and destroying.
Then, a gentle breeze began to stir around Nagikiri Manaka, at first just lightly brushing her hair, carrying a hint of coolness.
But gradually, this wind did not stop, but intensified, turning from gentle to strong, as if nature was responding to her endless desire and pursuit of "food."
Wind!
It spun and intertwined all around.
Constantly impacting all objects, even the tree branches outside the kitchen rustled.
…
Nagikiri Manaka, in the center of this force.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind, her clothes billowed, merging with this stormy world.
"Transmission Pulse?"
"Just an ordinary bowl of porridge, yet it can make Lady Manaka activate the Transmission Pulse skill?"
"Amazing!"
"As expected of Chu Yang."
"Indeed, only the dishes in his hands can conquer the God's Tongue!"
After feeling the sudden violent wind, Annie couldn't help but raise a hand and tightly cover half of her face.
However.
The wind grew stronger.
The entire kitchen seemed so chaotic and disordered.
Even Annie's soft hair was wantonly blown apart by the wind, a few strands clinging messily to her cheeks, making her look disheveled.
Disheveled she was, but more than that, it was a shock!
…
Yes!
Even the most noble foie gras, caviar, and black truffles failed to satisfy Nagikiri Manaka.
Yet, a bowl of porridge made from brown rice, green beans, soybeans, and other ingredients directly conquered Nagikiri Manaka!
In fact.
Besides the God's Tongue ability.
The Nagikiri family also possessed another skill: Transmission!
Transmission is a unique divine skill of the Nagikiri family. By utilizing their special ability, they can release their spiritual power into the air when tasting exceptionally delicious dishes.
And this release of spiritual power takes different forms.
Either it's like Nagikiri Senzaemon, directly exploding clothes; or it's like Erina and Manaka, stirring up a strong energy around them and then spreading it outwards.
Regardless of the form, even non-Nagikiri family members would be affected.
In short.
This is an area-of-effect skill.
Therefore, the Nagikiri family holds a unique and revered position in the Japanese culinary world.
This is not only reflected in their extreme perception and judgment of dishes but also includes this special skill, "Transmission," which can influence others.
And for Manaka to activate "Transmission Pulse."
It is enough to show that the Rainbow Porridge perfectly conquered the God's Tongue and completely gained Nagikiri Manaka's approval!
…
Time passed briefly.
The wind finally slowed its pace, gradually, gradually coming to a halt.
Just as Annie's tense heart began to settle, she found that Nagikiri Manaka, who had opened her eyes, had a flushed face, and her breathing became uncontrollably rapid.
Her nostrils subtly flared, as if trying to capture every subtle change in the aroma, a mixture of various fresh ingredients:
From the sweet fruit scent to the warm rice aroma, and then to a hint of almost imperceptible vanilla fragrance.
Each layer of aroma.
Was like a meticulously woven dream symphony, continuously plucking at her heartstrings.
Finally.
At this moment.
Nagikiri Manaka shed all her defenses and pretenses, revealing her truest self.
Her fingers trembled slightly, yet she eagerly reached for the colorful bowl of porridge, as if touching a precious work of art.
In the Rainbow Porridge, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and other colored ingredients were intricately blended, like the most splendid clouds in the sky falling to the mortal world, both pleasing to the eye and mouth-watering!
Then, Nagikiri Manaka scooped up another spoonful.
The crystal-clear rice grains and colorful ingredients gently swayed in the spoon.
All the waiting.
The desires hidden deep within her heart.
Hmm, they all ultimately transformed into the ultimate pleasure on her taste buds!
…
"I can't take it… I really can't take it anymore!"
Nagikiri Manaka no longer hesitated, no longer mindful of her usual etiquette and restraint. Her hands completely out of control, she began an intense conversation with the Rainbow Porridge.
She ate the porridge faster and faster, as if to fill the emptiness and dissatisfaction of the past two months through this bowl of Rainbow Porridge.
At this moment.
Manaka was like a starving wolf.
That gluttonous appearance was both heartbreaking and shocking.
"How could this be?"
Annie, behind her, was even more shocked to see this scene!
