CH.60 Refusal to Taste
"By the way, Ainelle, when are you going to compete?" Zheng Ke looked at Aniele who was eating noodles with her head down, and asked softly.
"Huh? Aenil looked up at Zheng Ke, her lips and corners covered with ketchup.
"What's the topic of your competition?" Zheng Ke asked.
"The first one was a strawberry dessert. As for the second game, I guess I won't know until I win the first game. Anil sighed.
Zheng Ke and Catherine glanced at each other and understood Anier's situation.
"That'...... What are you looking for me for?" Catherine looked at Anile in confusion.
"I'm going to try cooking today and tomorrow, but no one has tried it. Can you help me?" looked at Catherine with expectant eyes.
Catherine shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want to eat it." β
"Why?" asked Aniel.
Zheng Ke is also very strange, Aniele is definitely not a strange dish, and the desserts of Lanji School are also very famous. With such a great opportunity, why did Catherine give it up?
"Sweets tend to make you fat, so why don't I eat sweets now?" Catherine shook her head.
"Oh, no, you have to help me, I'm in danger this time. β
Anile holds Catherine tightly, but Catherine refuses to agree to Aniel's request.
In the end, Catherine couldn't stand Aniele's entanglement, so she kicked the ball to Zheng Ke.
"Why don't you let Zheng Ke try it for you?"
"He?" Anier glanced at Zheng Ke with disdain, snorted coldly, and turned her head, "I don't want him to try it?"
Zheng Ke's eyebrows jumped upward, if it weren't for the ketchup on Aniele's lips, which provided him with a lot of jokes, he might not be able to help but quarrel with Aniele.
In the end, this matter was over, and Zheng Ke was happy to be idle. As the three of them left the restaurant, Anelle was still pestering Catherine, making a last-ditch effort, and seeing what Catherine meant, she didn't seem to be going to agree.
After parting ways, Zheng Ke suddenly became interested in the two first-graders that Anier had mentioned, so he sent another text message to Catherine, asking her where to find the information about the two first-graders.
Catherine quickly replied, "If you want to know, I'll get to you later." β
Zheng Ke didn't know how long it would be later, so he could only return to his residence and flip through the books given by Orens.
It was about an hour before there was a knock on the door. Zheng Ke opened the door, only to see Catherine sweating profusely into the house.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Ke asked puzzled.
"It's nothingβthat little girl is so annoying that she always wants me to try it. Fortunately, I finally got rid of her. Catherine poured a glass of ice water and took a sip.
"You don't want to try it so much?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.
"If it's a normal dish, it doesn't matter, but desserts can really get fat. Catherine said with a frown.
"I remember you also ate the dessert I made......"
"That's different!" Catherine pouted, but her eyes were unusually determined.
"You......" Zheng Ke guessed what Catherine meant, "I'll cook for you at night." β
"Really, okay, I'm going to eat what you cooked on the team's halberd. Catherine said excitedly.
Zheng Ke suddenly remembered the pocket pigeon and shook his head, "There are no ingredients, wait a while, I'll make you a fish dish." β
"It's fine, but it has to be delicious. Catherine admonished.
"My craft, that's still going to be said. Zheng Ke said with a smile.
"When it comes to cooking, I seem to think that your current cooking skills are a little different from before. Catherine muttered.
When Zheng Ke heard Catherine mention his cooking skills, he immediately came to his senses, which was what he cared about the most at the moment. With less God Heart and more "realm", is his current cooking skills increasing or regressing?
Before, he was embarrassed to ask Catherine, but now when Catherine took the initiative to mention it, he immediately sat on the sofa next to her, "Then what do you think is the difference between my current cooking skills and before?"
"What's the difference?" Catherine didn't expect Zheng Ke to ask like this, raised her head, and recalled the difference between Zheng Ke's current cooking and the previous ones, "If you insist on saying that there is any difference, it should be in balance, right?"
"Balance?" Zheng Ke was stunned, he heard this for the first time.
"That's right, there is more harmony between the ingredients and the cooking. In this respect, I can't find any shortcomings. Catherine pinched her chin with her index finger.
"In that sense...... What about the other aspects?" Zheng Ke asked as he found the details of Catherine's words.
"Hmm...... There should be a lack of sharpness...... Not right either. Catherine shook her head, fell into deep thought again, and after two or three minutes, she looked up at Zheng Ke, "Basically, after eating, I reduced the aftertaste of some flavors of the food, but took the food as a whole." In terms of dishes, the taste is more delicate, but the taste carved into the bone marrow is a little less. I can't say if that's an advantage or a disadvantage. β
Catherine's evaluation made Zheng Ke fall into deep thought. Because he was always trying his own dishes, he was not as sensitive as Catherine. Judging from Catherine's words, the downgrade of the Heart of God still had an impact on his dishes.
"So, do you think the dishes I make now are improving or regressing compared to before?"
This is what Zheng Ke is most concerned about.
"Progress, of course. Catherine said at once, and then quickly wilted again, "But, not much progress, huh...... More often than not, it's the excellent basics that support the flavor of the food, and it's a bit of a change in style. β
"Whew. β
Zheng Ke was relieved, and leaned back on the sofa.
As long as he is sure that his cooking skills have really increased, he will not be afraid. When the Heart of God returns to Lv2 again and is paired with the "Realm", the strength will definitely take a step further.
"You haven't tasted my 'realm' cuisine yet, have you?" Zheng Ke suddenly remembered this.
"That's right...... I forgot about it. Catherine patted her forehead, "If you add the 'Heart of God', maybe there will be a lot of improvement." Tonight's fish dish, can you use the 'realm' to cook it for me?"
Catherine licked her lips, saliva coming out.
There is an improvement, but it is certainly not as large as Catherine's. Moreover, after the "Heart of God" is downgraded, it may not be so easy to "break the boundary".
However, exchanging the "heart of God" for the "realm", from the current point of view, should be earned.
"Then you have to do it with me, too. Zheng Ke asked.
"No problem, it's a deal. Catherine touched her stomach and frowned, "Oops, my stomach seems to be hungry again." β
"......" Zheng Ke had a black line, "Let's do it first, right?"
