Chen Ze returned to the kitchen with an expressionless face. He intended to research the most bitter dish possible, so Nyarlathotep would have a good taste of bitterness.
Speaking of bitterness in the culinary world, one cannot fail to mention the king of bitterness among vegetables—the bitter melon.
Chen Ze still remembered the first time he tried bitter melon as a child. He was so off-put by the experience that he questioned his existence and whether the vegetable was rotten.
But as he grew older, he slowly came to accept it.
Chen Ze stroked his chin, deciding that bitter melon wouldn't do. Although certainly bitter, the bitterness wasn't intense enough. He wanted to create an exceptionally bitter dish.
"Why not try Chinese goldthread? People often say it's like a mute eating goldthread, bitter but unable to express it." Chen Ze thought this was a feasible idea, but he quickly gave up on it.
