Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

……

"Ok!"

Nakiri Managi's gaze was intense; she had no intention of lying to Ye Chen.

"It's true."

"We did indeed test the startled apple."

"After the research team worked day and night to analyze the cells inside the startled apple, they found that it did not exist inside. In the real world, humans possess all the genetic information and fragments."

"It's like a mysterious area that has never been marked before suddenly appearing on a complete world map."

"so."

"We are certain."

"These fantastical ingredients are definitely not from real life."

Then, with a hopeful look in her eyes, Nakiri Managi looked directly at Ye Chen and asked earnestly and eagerly, "Ye Chen, can you tell us about the origin of these fantasy ingredients?"

……

"You want to know?"

Ye Chen asked in return with a sly smile.

"At a time like this, stop keeping me in suspense." Nakiri Managi rolled her eyes at him helplessly, then pressed for an answer.

"Ah!"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

"The so-called fantasy ingredients actually all originate from a culinary world that transcends reality."

"There, the jewel-like meat gleams with an alluring luster, the startling apple holds an unexpected and startling effect, the whole roasted pig exudes a mouthwatering aroma, and the sweet whole fruit is like nature's purest gift, and..."

"I am about to reveal the Rainbow Fruit to the world!"

Anyway.

"It was a world full of magic."

"All sorts of fantastical ingredients that you can hardly imagine even in your dreams actually exist there, waiting for those destined to find and discover them."

Listening to Ye Chen's description, Nakiri Managi and Annie couldn't help but fall into reverie.

They closed their eyes.

In my mind, the outline of that mysterious world slowly began to take shape.

……

"interesting."

"The existence of such a world."

"This is absolutely a godsend for someone like me who's extremely picky about food!"

Finally, Nakiri Managi, regaining her senses, couldn't help but get excited.

It was probably during my childhood, before my God Tongue ability had been developed to such a terrifying extent.

however.

That was Managi back then.

In terms of diet, especially in terms of being picky about food, they are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I drink 40-degree Fiji water in the morning, 12-degree Evian water at noon, and room-temperature snow water from Mount Fuji in the evening.

Every day at four in the morning, before dawn!

The kitchen staff then have to go to the Mong Kok Seafood Market to select ingredients.

Moreover, each ingredient has strict standards, for example:

The shrimp must be lively and jumping, the bamboo shoots must be from the tip 5cm long, the spinach must be a young seedling with just three leaves, the cabbage must be a specific imported variety, the beef must be Tajima beef from Hyogo Prefecture, and the chicken breast must be the small breast near the wing; all other parts must be discarded.

If.

If the ingredients don't meet your expectations, then go global.

Even if shipped by air, the quality must not be compromised in the slightest.

……

In addition to strict material selection.

The cooking process must also be handled with utmost care.

Steamed fish must be cooked with mineral water from Changbai Mountain, stewed bird's nest must be cooked with water from young Siamese coconuts, and stir-fried dishes must be cooked in a copper pot.

Once the main dishes are served, they must be kept at 75 degrees Celsius, and cold dishes must be kept at 10 degrees Celsius.

In short.

Nakiri Managi.

Their strict requirements for food are truly exceptional!

Chapter 23 Golden Caviar

late at night.

There weren't many people on the streets.

The small restaurant, which should have been closing, remained brightly lit because of the arrival of Nakiri Managi and Anne.

In the cool, slightly chilly air conditioning, brew a pot of tea, cook a pot of pumpkin porridge, and roast a whole pig with some fantastic ingredients. With two beautiful women by your side, chatting and idly about trivial, everyday, or unimportant things, it's quite enjoyable!

just.

It's getting late.

After quickly finishing their barbecue, Managi Nakiri and Anne went back home.

Before leaving, upon learning that Ye Chen still had 10 startled apples, she bought them from him for 1 million yen each, twice the market price.

……

"Samagi-sama."

"Aren't there three of those 'scare apples' we bought last time?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to buy more from Ye Chen even though you haven't finished eating yet, and at twice the market price..."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the entire box of startled apples she had just bought, her mind filled with bewilderment.

indeed.

This startled apple is quite peculiar.

But surely it's not enough to make Managi so eager and willing to pay such a high price?

"Well, let's not even talk about the immeasurable value of these fantastical ingredients themselves."

"It has a very good curative effect on the anorexia problem caused by the God Tongue curse alone. You know, for years, anorexia has been like an invisible shackle, tightly binding me."

"It made me lose interest in food, and my life became bleak."

"Therefore, as long as I can rediscover my love for food and rediscover the joy and satisfaction that delicious food brings..."

"No matter the cost."

"I am always... willing to work hard and strive for it!"

After saying that, she carefully picked up a startled apple from the box.

The apple lay quietly in her palm, drowsy, while Nakiri Managi stared intently at the startled apple in her hand, as if she had made up her mind!

"Annie, once you get back, make arrangements immediately to mail these 10 startled apples to Totsuki Academy in Japan."

"Totsuki Academy?"

Annie paused, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

But soon, he showed a look of sudden realization: "Yes, I understand!"

……

"Ding dong!"

"Host, would you like to sign in?"

"Sign in!"

Before Ye Chen could even rest after closing time, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

"Ding dong!"

A crisp system notification sounded: "Host has successfully checked in and obtained 20 Nut-tailed Knife Fish fry. Would you like to breed them?"

"Let's begin cultivating them."

"Ding dong!"
