Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

In a trance.

A dreamlike scene slowly unfolded in my mind:

She was wearing a dark blue swimsuit that clung tightly to her body, perfectly outlining her slender figure!

"thump."

After a loud noise.

Erina lightly leaped into the vast and boundless ocean.

As soon as she jumped into the sea, she quickly became one with the azure world. The seawater gently enveloped her, carrying a slight coolness, yet it felt incredibly pleasant.

She swam freely, like a graceful "mermaid," drawing beautiful arcs on the shimmering sea.

at this time.

A densely packed group of salmon.

Like a dazzling silver lightning bolt, it fiercely attacked her.

……

"what!"

"No...no..."

These salmon were very mischievous, darting all over Erina.

Their smooth scales brushed against the skin, bringing wave after wave of strange, tingling sensations.

suddenly.

A sharp alarm blared.

This caused Erina, who was lost in her fantasy, to suddenly open her bright eyes.

His expression, which had been carrying a faint smile, turned serious, and his eyes instantly became alert and sharp!

"Salted salmon roe is usually round and small, so it is not suitable for making nigiri sushi."

"But if you wrap seaweed around the rice ball, you can put salted salmon roe on top. This makes the sushi look like a warship, hence the name 'warship sushi'."

"However."

"As a three-star restaurant recognized by the WGO."

"I never expected that your salmon roe gunkan sushi would have several fatal flaws."

Erina frowned, her gaze fixed intently on Yosuke Imada.

"sorry."

"This was all my mistake."

Yosuke Imada was once again terrified and quickly bowed in apology.

"The vinegared rice in this sushi is too vinegary, which masks the natural sweetness of the rice."

"You don't actually want to tell me that as a three-star chef, you would make such a basic mistake when facing a genius like me with the God Tongue, do you?"

Erina said calmly.

Chapter 15 The Culinary Pope

Foodie.

It refers to someone who loves to eat.

They are not picky or inquisitive, and are easily moved by the delicious food in front of them.

A gourmet is someone who appreciates food artistically and aesthetically from a life perspective, and who explores ideal culinary experiences.

The former emphasizes "eating", while the latter values ​​"food".

Ah!

It's only a one-word difference.

The underlying realm, however, is vastly different.

In Erina Nakiri's culinary world, there's never a simple question of whether something tastes good or bad. It's about refined flavors, fleeting sensations on the taste buds, an exploration of endless ingredients, and a profound understanding of the art of cooking…

and so.

From birth to death.

Erina has to spend her whole life carefully nurturing a "god tongue".

This is her destiny, and also her dull life!

……

all the time.

The judging criteria of WGO executives and seasoned food critics are often regarded as industry benchmarks.

Their reviews can directly influence a restaurant's star rating, media exposure, and even the direction of capital investment.

For example:

Awarded one star in WGO.

A demotion or removal of a restaurant's star rating could lead to a surge in bookings, while a demotion or removal of a star rating could result in a sharp decline in customers.

In addition, ordinary people lack professional discernment skills, and in today's society where food is highly valued, they rely more on the reviews and recommendations of food critics!

Erina, a food critic with the gift of a "god tongue," holds a pivotal position in the culinary world with her evaluations.

A simple "This dish is good" can make a chef famous overnight.

The criticism is that the work is "lacking in creativity".

That could potentially ruin the chef's reputation completely.

Therefore.

When faced with Erina's dissatisfaction.

Even Yosuke Imada, a top chef with three WGO rank, appeared panicked and terrified.

He instantly knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded, "I know I was wrong, Miss, I beg you... I beg you to have mercy and spare my life!"

……

“I know your restaurant, Kubei Cuisine, very well.”

"At present, we are deeply mired in the quagmire of stagnant development and are struggling to move forward."

"However"

"even so."

"You shouldn't treat me with such carelessness and disrespect, like you would any ordinary diner!"

"Yosuke Imada, I sincerely acknowledge your outstanding contributions to the field of sushi. But now, I can sense from your sushi dishes that you have quietly strayed from your initial purity and passion..."

"Your cooking has lost its original, genuine flavor."

"Yes, you had already changed by the time WGO awarded you the highest honor of a three-star chef."

Erina said vehemently.

"sorry!"

Yosuke Imada's voice trembled in the silent courtyard, like a withered leaf about to fall, carrying endless fear and despair.

"I know I was wrong."

Then, he knelt down.

His forehead slammed heavily against the lush green lawn, again and again.

Erina stood there quietly, her eyes like icy blades in the cold night, staring coldly at the man who had once been a shining star in the culinary world.

"No! You know you're going to die."

These words extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Imada Yosuke's heart. He stopped kowtowing, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"A stray dog." Erina couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile upon seeing this. "I think someone like you doesn't deserve the title of a three-star chef."

Yosuke Imada's face turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

Looking back, he admitted that he had indeed used many dirty tricks in pursuit of fame and fortune, gradually betraying his original aspirations and the dignity that a chef should have.

now.

Before the "tongue of God".

All those honors are gone, all of them are lost.

"You'd better watch yourself!" Erina said, then turned and left, leaving behind only a resolute silhouette.

……

Paris.
