Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

He was actually aware of his own problems, but his stubbornness and arrogance made it difficult for him to accept them.

now.

Rantabhi reminded him.

Only then did he finally calm down and reflect on himself!

……

"I have also adjusted my strategies according to the needs of the French."

Finally, after some thought, Kojiro Shinomiya spoke up: "For example, I redesigned some of the menus, simplifying where necessary and improving where needed, and I also placed greater emphasis on service levels and the interactive experience with diners..."

"Cooking!"

"It is necessary to bring happiness to our guests."

Seeing that he still didn't seem to understand, Rantabhi couldn't help but interject, "It's a real step forward that you're starting to focus on the guest experience instead of just pursuing technical perfection!"

"However, there's one problem you just can't figure out, and that is..."

What is a chef?

……

"Ok?"

Shinomiya Kojiro was stunned!

He has never seriously considered this question.

“I recommend a place; perhaps only it can change you!” After saying that, Rantab asked Shinomiya for paper and pen, and then wrote down the address of a small restaurant on a piece of white paper.

After she finished writing it, she handed it to Shinomiya.

"You want me, someone who runs a high-end restaurant, to work in a casual, affordable restaurant?"

Shinomiya Kojiro glanced at the table a few times and found that Rantapi wanted him to go to a small restaurant, which he found unbelievable.

"Don't underestimate that place."

Rantabi shook his head, then explained, "Even an executive like me, no, including First-Class Executive Anne and Special-Class Executive Managi, really enjoy the food served at this restaurant."

"Furthermore, the shop owner, Ye Chen, is a very charismatic person, so I believe you can gain some insights there!"

Kojiro Shinomiya was skeptical, but in the end he could only nod.

……

Paris.

In the embrace of the night, I gradually drifted off to sleep.

The hustle and bustle of the daytime has quietly faded away like the receding tide.

At this very moment, the hour and minute hands slowly overlap on the dial, pointing precisely to 12 o'clock.

The small restaurant located on the outskirts of the city, a place usually filled with laughter and the aroma of delicious food, finally ushered in its quietest moment of the day: closing time.

stove!

It has long been extinguished.

The lively atmosphere of business days is gone.

However, Ye Chen still did not take off his chef's uniform, his eyes fixed on a striped salmon on the cutting board.

Upon closer inspection, this barramundi is about 1.2 meters long and weighs approximately 50 kg, which is quite large compared to ordinary salmon.

"Then... let's get started!"

Ye Chen took a deep breath, then picked up the sharp, ancient dragon tooth knife, his gaze becoming fierce.

Whoosh whoosh.

He swung his knife without hesitation.

With flashes of white light, Ye Chen swiftly sliced ​​open the belly of the salmon lying on the cutting board.

After that, Ye Chen skillfully and carefully took out the fish eggs from the belly.

"Wow!"

"Golden salmon roe?"

Chapter 82 The Strong

Barramundi.

In the world of Toriko, it's just an ordinary, common item, with a capture level of less than 1.

However, the "golden salmon eggs" that Ye Chen obtained from the belly of the barracuda were rare fish eggs that only one out of hundreds of barracudas possessed!

So far.

The most expensive food in the world is golden fish roe.

It might have taken humans hundreds of years to obtain this delicacy.

Ah!

It's no exaggeration to say that...

One spoonful is equivalent to eating the equivalent of an average person's house.

Compared to the world's most prized fish roe, even the most expensive seafood such as abalone or precious Chinese medicinal herbs like deer antler seem incredibly cheap.

……

In typical Japanese restaurants.

Fish eggs are especially common and are loved by many people.

Salmon roe, hailed as one of the three great delicacies of the West, is highly sought after. Its demand has always been so high that it's astonishing, forcing wild salmon to survive in extremely limited areas!

Therefore, the golden salmon roe extracted from the inside of the mythical ingredient, the striped salmon, is even more precious.

"How lucky."

"On the first time I processed barracuda, I was able to get golden salmon roe."

Ye Chen murmured, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

He managed to "win" with such a low probability of one percent. This is not just ordinary luck, it's extraordinary luck!

……

Subsequently.

Eggs produced by barracuda.

Under the light, it began to show a rare golden luster, shimmering and very charming.

Afterwards, Ye Chen carefully picked up a small golden salmon roe and found it to be sticky and very elastic. Moreover, when he gently smelled it near his nose, it had no fishy smell that salmon should have. Instead, it had a strong, indescribable sweetness.

"nice one."

Ye Chen's heart stirred.

"Since I have some leftover rice, I might as well make some golden salmon roe sushi!"

Without further ado, Ye Chen continued working.

……

The old man often said:

Thousand-year-old grass seeds, ten-thousand-year-old fish eggs.

This means that fish eggs can be preserved for tens of thousands of years, and can germinate into life as long as the right opportunity arises.

When Bai Juyi was 16 years old, he wrote the poem "Farewell to the Ancient Grassland", which contains the famous line: "Wildfire cannot burn it all, the spring breeze brings it back to life." Many people use this line as their inspirational motto, symbolizing the firm belief of not giving up in the face of difficulties.

From another perspective.

You can feel the tenacity of the wild grass's vitality.

After their plants are burned, their roots and seeds lie dormant inside, waiting to sprout new buds the following spring.

however.

In a suitable environment.

Grass seeds can only be stored for about 4 years.

The so-called "ten-thousand-year-old fish eggs" have an even shorter shelf life, generally around 3 years, and some fish eggs can only be stored for 2 years.

Of course, it depends on the specific species of fish and the eggs they lay.

But it won't last more than 5 years!

……

at this time.

With great interest, Ye Chen began processing the salmon roe.
