Chapter 138: There Are So Many Delicious Foods in the World!

Ṛé&a;​ｄ on &K;​&a;tȒｅa&d;ｉngＣa&f;ė

As soon as I placed Acorn Jelly in the S-tier, the chat window exploded.

“How can Acorn Jelly be S-tier?” they said.

Tsk tsk.

Anyway, cherries just don’t understand taste.

Do you even know how delicious Acorn Jelly is?!

I need to set the record straight today.

“Hey, everyone, calm down and listen to me. I’ll tell you just how delicious Acorn Jelly is.”

• I don’t want to hear it…
• I like Acorn Jelly too, but S-tier is too much lol
• Honestly, even B-tier is too generous
• Lulu / Controversy

Ugh, don’t even think about making a controversy section on Namu Wiki!

Just listen to what I have to say first, okay?!

“Acorn Jelly has a lot of variations. It’s delicious with just seasoned soy sauce, and it’s also great when mixed with vegetables. And everyone, do you know about mukbap? It’s so delicious!”

• What’s Mukbap?
• Mukbap is actually really good
• Isn’t it just a downgraded version of Gukbap? lol
• Honestly, Mukbap is carried by the kimchi lol

Hey, how can you say something so harsh?!

Of course, the kimchi on top of Mukbap is important!

But the main ingredient is the jelly, the jelly!

“I didn’t know how delicious Acorn Jelly could be either, back in the day. But when I lived in my old place, the grandmother next door made Acorn Jelly for me once. That’s when my opinion changed.”

• OMG
• Wow, if it’s made by a grandmother, it’s definitely top tier lol
• Grandmother knows what’s tasty lol
• Everyone, hands off your keyboards!
• Just type “lol” and stop lol

Oh oh.

The atmosphere is finally turning in my favor.

Right, right.

Do you see how delicious Acorn Jelly is?!

For some reason, seeing the cherries agree with me, I got excited and started sharing more stories about Acorn Jelly.

“At that time, I ran out of rice and kimchi at home, so the grandmother gave me some rice and her homemade kimchi too. I made Mukbap with it, and it was absolutely fantastic!”

• Ah…
• You ran out of rice and kimchi at home?
• That’s so sad…
• Just give it an S-tier. That’s the right call…
• I can’t listen to this without crying…
• Just give it an S, Lulu-chan…

Huh, what?

The atmosphere feels a bit off.

They seem to be agreeing with the S-tier, but it feels more like they’re reluctantly accepting it rather than being convinced.

Well, they agreed, so it’s fine to keep it at S-tier, right?

Alright, Acorn Jelly is officially S-tier!

“Next up… braised tofu! This is S-tier!”

• ??????
• Huh?
• This is S-tier too?
• I mean, braised tofu is a great side dish, but S-tier is a bit much…
• At most, it’s A-tier.

As soon as I confidently placed braised tofu in S-tier, the cherries started opposing again.

Ugh, how many taste-blind people are there?

Do you even know how delicious braised tofu is?!

“Sure, it’s a simple and common side dish. But braised tofu is definitely S-tier, everyone! I can confidently say it’s the best way to enjoy tofu!”

• It is tasty
• But S-tier is still too much
• Is it normal to feel this irritated from the start?

Ugh, they still don’t get it.

I need to explain again.

“As someone who has eaten tofu all my life, I can confidently say it’s S-tier. You all remember how I used to eat only tofu and cabbage once a day, right?”

• Yeah
• Yep
• Why are you bringing up sad stories again…

Ugh, it’s not a sad story!

I’m just trying to share some anecdotes.

“So, I always had a lot of tofu at home… but one day, the local community center gave me a lot of daily necessities. There happened to be a pack of braised tofu seasoning in there.”

• Ah
• No way…
• Lulu-chan, stop, I’ll give it an S-tier

Stop? What do you mean stop?

My story isn’t over yet!

I need to share the vivid emotions of that moment with the cherries.

“But at that time, I didn’t have any vegetables at home, so I just cooked the tofu with the seasoning. And it was so delicious! Honestly, until then, I thought nothing could be tastier than ramen, but I was wrong!”

• That’s so sad
• Wait, let me grab a tissue
• And you didn’t even have vegetables…
• They gave you daily necessities but no vegetables?

Ah, the cherries probably don’t know.

When you get daily necessities, there are usually no vegetables.

It’s usually a 10-20kg bag of rice.

Or things like ramen or food that can be stored for a long time.

If you’re lucky, you might get canned tuna or ham.

But those are precious items, so I usually saved them for a long time.

If I opened a can of tuna, I’d store it in the fridge and eat it over 4-5 days.

Canned ham was something I only ate on rare occasions when I really wanted meat.

Those days were really happy.

“Anyway, braised tofu is perfect! It has that unique spicy and salty flavor, and it never gets boring! So later, when I wanted to treat myself a little, I’d buy braised tofu seasoning and make a lot, then eat it all week.”

• No one would call that a luxury, Lulu-chan…
• I don’t even know where to start with this
• I’ll give braised tofu an S-tier, so please stop…
• I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy

Huh? Why is everyone acting like this?

The chat atmosphere feels weird.

But since they’re agreeing to give braised tofu an S-tier, it’s fine, right?

I quietly confirmed the tier and moved on to the next food.

A familiar picture appeared.

It was naengmyeon (cold noodles).

“Next up is naengmyeon! This is S-tier!”

• Oh
• Naengmyeon S-tier is acceptable
• S-tier is a bit overrated though
• Compared to Acorn Jelly and braised tofu, naengmyeon S-tier is like a fairy lol

Oh oh, this time the atmosphere seems to agree from the start.

With naengmyeon, I can’t help but share another story!

“The first time I tried naengmyeon was at a meat restaurant near my old place. I tried it there and thought it was really delicious!”

• Naengmyeon at a meat restaurant is the truth
• It’s amazing when you slurp it up with meat
• Lulu-chan, at least you could afford to eat meat back then

“Of course! Normally, I’d make do with canned ham but occasionally, I’d get local vouchers. With those, I could go to a restaurant and buy food.”

Yeah, those days were like a festival.

I could eat whatever I wanted, whether it was chicken or meat.

“So on those days, it was a full-on party! I’d go to the meat restaurant, order two servings of pork belly, and devour it.”

• Two servings of pork belly for a party…
• How did you even survive?
• I’m reminded of how happily I’m living now…

Hehe, that day was really happy.

It was one of the happiest days of the year.

I could go home and fall asleep feeling like the world was mine.

“But since I had to use the rest of the money for daily necessities, I couldn’t order naengmyeon. So I was glancing at the customers eating naengmyeon at the next table, and the owner gave me some as a service.”

• Owner, thank you…
• The world is still this warm, everyone…
• Where is this place? I’ll go and pay for it.
• Lulu-chan, they must have known your situation.

Yeah, I think so too.

Back then, my clothes were shabby and worn out.

If a kid like that came in alone to eat meat, they’d naturally understand the situation.

“So that was the first time I tried naengmyeon, and it was so delicious. It was a perfect combination with the meat!”

• It’s true, but why is this so sad?
• Lulu-chan, let’s stop here… I can’t take it anymore…
• Let’s just close the tier list and go play a game
• Just give everything S-tier and move on

Huh? Why is everyone acting like this?

There are still so many foods left to rank.

Was it not fun?

“Ah, sorry, cherries. Was it not fun? Maybe I’m not good at telling stories…”

• No no no no no
• It’s fun, it’s fun…
• It’s fun but sad…
• What even is this feeling?
• Just let Lulu-chan do whatever she wants…

Hmm, what is it?

It doesn’t seem like they’re not having fun.

But since there are quite a few people who want to see it through, I guess it’s okay to continue?

“Ah, okay. Then I’ll continue…?”

Oh, the next food is sushi!

Hehe, this should be fine.

It’s a very popular food, and the cherries will definitely like it.

Plus, there’s a story involving our members too.

This time, the cherries will definitely enjoy it!

“Sushi! This is S-tier! Actually, the first time I tried sushi was after debuting with Blue LUV…”

• Please stop…
• Stop, please stop…
• Lulu-chan, I’m about to cry, please…

I confidently started telling the story, but for some reason, the cherries started screaming as soon as I began.

In the end, the food tier ranking content had to be buried after just four items.

But thankfully, the cherries allowed me to place all the foods in S-tier.

‘This is right for Lulu-chan,’ they said.

I’m not sure what they mean by that.
