Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

"Human desires are limitless."

"And as the most basic desire... eating is naturally the easiest to increase."

"That's why the Chef King International Culinary Association was born in this context, but then that woman with the God Tongue appeared."

"Her extraordinary sense of taste is a nightmare that we chefs can't shake off!"

Speaking of it.

Bogus, the image that involuntarily came to mind was:

The figure dressed in a kimono, who liked to use a folding fan to cover her pale face, was Nakiri Managi.

……

"how?"

"The chefs of the Gourmet Food Festival".

"Are you very unhappy about being controlled and blackmailed by the WGO executives using a set of evaluation standards?"

Sensing Bogus's thoughts, Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm not happy!"

"But... what can we do?"

Bogus was both angry and helpless.

So far, no chef in the world has been able to conquer Nakiri Managi's divine tongue with their own cooking!

Afterwards, his eyes darted around a few times, as if deep in thought, and he said to Ye Chen, "Could you... use the fantasy ingredient, Gem Flesh, from last time to thoroughly ravage that woman?"

"Yes, only you can make her infatuated."

"I?"

Ye Chen pointed to his nose with his finger, both amused and exasperated: "President, you think too highly of me."

"Besides, what good would it do to conquer her, ravage her, and make her infatuated with me?"

"Ugh!"

"You still don't understand!"

"To all chefs, she is an insurmountable wall."

"This wall is infinitely high above, infinitely deep below, infinitely far to the left, and infinitely far to the right. If no one can break down this wall, the entire culinary world has no future."

"Ye Chen, I truly believe that only you can change her prejudice against all chefs."

Hearing Bougusi's heartfelt words, Ye Chen gave a wry smile.

What future?

Ye Chen didn't seem to care much, and that was another matter.

If this elderly food association president knew that not long ago, he had used a bowl of rainbow medicinal porridge and a startling apple to completely free Nakiri Managi from the curse of the God Tongue.

Wouldn't that have driven Bogus to madness on the spot?

After all!

He really didn't expect it.

Ye Chen really did manage to rekindle Nakiri Managi's hope for chefs in the real world through his own abilities!

……

"Cough cough."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's boring."

"I still want to tell you that, considering your health condition, the order for those 5 crepes has been cancelled. Instead, I'll get you something really good."

"A rare find?"

"what?"

Bao Gusi was taken aback when he saw the slightly mysterious smile on Ye Chen's face.

"Another fantastic ingredient: roasted whole pig!"

Ye Chen said.

"Ah? Really fake?"

Upon hearing this, Bao Gusi was completely dumbfounded.

Jewel Flesh—that's a fantasy ingredient I've only ever seen once!

The taste and the deliciousness were absolutely superb, a delicacy that countless chefs and gourmets dreamed of. Yet Ye Chen claimed he could produce another fantastical ingredient, which was simply beyond Bogus's comprehension.

"Ye Chen, you're kidding me."

"Delicious ingredients like Gem Meat are already quite rare. Where else can you find ingredients similar to it?"

Bogus snapped out of his daze and said with a hint of disbelief.

"Ok?"

How could you be so foolish?

"The Gemstone Meat came from my own hands. Tell me, who else in the world possesses such a fantastical ingredient?"

"So, isn't it perfectly normal for me to bring out another fantastical ingredient—a whole roasted pig?"

"That's the truth."

"Could it be... that you really have it?"

Bogus looked utterly astonished.

Chapter 17 Delicious food in the world

Roasted whole pig.

It grows on Hankelilla Island.

Based on the attire of Luffy and his crew when they landed on Hankrilla Island, this island should be located in the first half of the Grand Line in the One Piece world.

This island, known as the legendary "food island," boasts an extremely rich variety of ingredients!

From a biological perspective, roasted whole pig should belong to the subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia. It looks similar to a wild boar in the mountains, but its size is much larger than that of an ordinary wild boar.

Ah!

Generally speaking

The whole roasted pig is 4 meters long.

It is 3 meters tall and weighs over 1.5 tons.

Except for its back and abdomen, its entire body is covered with thick, pink fur.

The back has several slits to release the intense heat from the body.

……

Obviously.

The biological composition of a whole roasted pig has exceeded current scientific understanding.

Because of its extremely high blood temperature, the entire body of the pig is cooked through. What's puzzling is that even when the whole pig is fully cooked, it doesn't affect its vital functions at all.

The animal with the highest known body temperature on Earth is the swift, whose body temperature can reach 44°C during rapid flight.

At this moment.

Ye Chen got busy.

First, remove most of the meat from the whole roasted pig, then prepare some wild onions and wild chives.

Next, charcoal was used as fuel to make the roasted whole pig more unique in flavor. In order to make the roasted whole pig sweet and fragrant, Ye Chen also created the "three-step method" of marinating.

One method is to apply spices to the cavity.

That is, to coat the inside of a whole roasted pig with high-quality spices.

Secondly, the whole pig is drizzled with sugar water. Rock sugar is boiled and then poured over the entire roasted pig.

Three.

It's basically brushing the skin with a thick sauce.

A special sauce made from Cantonese ingredients such as chu hou sauce and fermented bean curd is spread evenly on the pork skin.

During the roasting process, a three-step roasting method is used: first, the whole pig is roasted over low heat for 15 minutes; then, the head and arms are roasted for 10 minutes; finally, the skin is coated with peanut oil and the body is roasted for 30 minutes.

……

charcoal fire.

Burning.

The orange-red flames reflected on the faces of those around them, illuminating their eyes.
