Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

She then looked up and glanced at Ye Chen.

He was stunned when he saw it, then overjoyed: "You...you...it's actually you, Ye Chen."

Kobayashi Rindou was taken aback when she saw that Ye Chen was standing in front of her. She immediately widened her eyes and opened her mouth as if she had suddenly realized something.

Her eyes were filled with surprise and delight, as if she were seeing a long-lost friend.

Finally, she exclaimed.

……

God!

Ye Chen actually appeared here?

Kobayashi Rindou's heart was immediately filled with doubt and surprise.

She couldn't believe her eyes, thinking she was dreaming, so she rubbed her eyes hard and looked at Ye Chen again to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Can't help but.

She couldn't help but chuckle.

Unconsciously, his hands retreated slightly.

This seems somewhat different from her usual bold and lively temperament; well, it's more accurate to say that she's become a bit more shy and bashful.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her eyes revealed a hint of shyness, like a young girl experiencing her first love.

"What a coincidence, Kobayashi Rindou."

Seeing the beautiful woman suddenly appear in front of him, who turned out to be Kobayashi Rindou, one of the Ten Heroes, Ye Chen was also slightly taken aback. He finally came to his senses and smiled.

His smile was still so bright and warm, like the spring sunshine, illuminating Kobayashi Rindou's heart!

Chapter 118 A wonderful fate

The banquet scene.

The lights were dazzling, and the aroma of fine wine filled the air.

The guests, dressed in their finest attire, filled every corner with their joyful laughter.

Amidst this lively atmosphere, one person stood out remarkably:

Kobayashi Rindou!

……

That long, blood-red hair.

It shimmers with a mesmerizing glow under the lights, like an elf that has stepped out of mythology.

Her golden eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, were bright and deep, exuding an indescribable mystery and confidence. Her unusually sharp canines peeked out from her occasional playful smiles, adding a unique wild charm to her beauty.

Ah!

In the original work.

Regarding Kobayashi Rindou's true strength.

It has always been an unsolved mystery at Totsuki Academy.

But one thing is well known: her expertise in the culinary field is extremely unique.

Whether it's rare and top-quality ingredients or challenging wild ingredients, she can transform them into mouthwatering delicacies.

……

at this time.

Ye Chen was standing in a corner of the banquet.

He held a small crocodile in his hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The little crocodile suddenly wandered in halfway through the banquet, its appearance instantly shattering the harmonious atmosphere and causing everyone to panic.

Ye Chen, with his agility and extraordinary courage, quickly captured the small crocodile, thus preventing greater chaos.

in mind.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, I realized that...

He began to recall the various rumors about Kobayashi Rindou.

Then, looking at the small, menacing crocodile in his hand, Ye Chen suddenly realized. He thought to himself that this little crocodile might be the ingredient that Kobayashi Rindou was preparing to cook.

"yours?"

Ye Chen held up the small crocodile in his hand and gently shook it in front of Kobayashi Rindou.

The little crocodile seemed to sense the atmosphere around it, opening its mouth and making a "purring" sound, looking rather frightening.

……

Hear sounds.

Kobayashi Rindou blinked and then looked up.

Those golden eyes stared intently at Ye Chen.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere of the banquet became quiet and warm. The people around them seemed to notice this subtle moment and cast curious glances their way.

After a long while, Kobayashi Rindou lowered his head slightly, a faint blush rising on his face, and said softly, "Yes, thank you!"

"If you hadn't caught this little crocodile in time, who knows what kind of trouble would have gotten into later."

"Easy to do."

I saw that Kobayashi Rindou was a little shy.

Ye Chen replied with a smile.

"No." Kobayashi Rindou hurriedly raised his head and stared intently at Ye Chen again, his eyes filled with gratitude and sincerity: "You have helped me a lot. I originally wanted to use this little crocodile to make some dishes and then properly entertain the guests at this banquet!"

Realizing he had been a bit out of line, Kobayashi Rindou blushed slightly and reached out, saying, "Could you give this little crocodile back to me?"

"Ah."

Ye Chen nodded and quickly got to work.

He carefully wrapped the live crocodile's mouth and feet tightly with wire, and then sealed the crocodile's mouth with tape.

Only after doing all this did he feel at ease exchanging the little crocodile with Kobayashi Rindou.

"Thank you."

Kobayashi Rindou expressed his sincere gratitude once again.

After saying that, she dragged the small crocodile, which was no longer able to move, and turned to leave.

However, as she was leaving, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with joy, looking like a little girl who had just received her favorite toy.

"You know Kobayashi Rindou?"

At this moment, Erina Nakiri walked over and asked Ye Chen curiously.

She was dressed in a gorgeous gown, exuding a noble and elegant air, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

"She was doing fieldwork in France and then came to my little restaurant for a meal. That's when we met," Ye Chen replied, a hint of reminiscence on his face.

“Oh.” Erina Nakiri nodded. “I see.”

……

The entire banquet,

Because of the appearance of this little crocodile.

This unexpected mishap has inevitably caused quite a stir among most people.

But a banquet is still a banquet, and there will still be plenty of fun when it's time to be joyful.

now.

Ye Chen raised his glass.

Take a small sip and savor the red wine.

The aroma of the wine spread in my mouth, making me feel completely intoxicated.

It has fruity aromas of fig and blackberry, along with a blend of oak spice and chocolate notes, as well as hints of tobacco and leather. The taste is rich and complex, leaving a lingering aftertaste. The texture is smooth, and the tannins are rounded.

For high-end banquets in China, red wine is usually served, and Lafite is the safest choice.

Ah!

After all.

This red wine is well-known, and most Chinese people have heard of it.

Lafite is definitely a show-stopper, after all, it has been used in the highest-level state banquets of both Britain and France, and its class is much higher than that of Moutai.

The quality is also excellent; it's consistently high, and the standards of a Bordeaux First Growth are undeniable. Currently, the 2018 vintage is still quite common on the market; it's a commemorative edition marking the 150th anniversary of the Rothschild family's acquisition of Château Lafite Rothschild—a truly impressive piece to boast about at any wine table!

Of course, the red wine served to the guests at this banquet was definitely more expensive and more sophisticated than Lafite.
