Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

"As the only Special Grade Executive Officer, she certainly has it tough!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.

……

An evaluation of a restaurant.

Typically, each WGO executive will personally visit the site to evaluate the products and record their observations in as much detail as possible. These evaluations will then be discussed and summarized at the annual "stars meetings" to create a highly professional and fair assessment report.

Next, all the evaluation reports were submitted to WGO headquarters for review by Special Executive Officer Managi Nakiri.

finally.

After her review.

How many stars should all restaurants be rated before it can be considered finalized?

Around this time every year, the WGO (World Food Organisation) will re-evaluate the restaurants that have received stars!

"Ye Chen".

"Could I ask you for a favor?"

Afterwards, Annie smiled at Ye Chen, a rare occurrence. In the past, she had given people the impression of being a bit cold, especially when she stood next to Nakiri Managi, her silent demeanor made people feel that she was a rose with thorns, difficult to approach!

Therefore, her smile was actually very beautiful in Ye Chen's eyes.

"Tell me about it. As long as it's within my ability, I'll try my best to help you achieve it."

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"You can do it."

"I hope... you can use red-haired pig meat to make a unique cold dish called meat jelly, which is unique to China."

Anne's eyes were watery at that moment, and her gaze was filled with a strong pleading.

"Meat jelly? You want to take it back for Managi to eat, right?"

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

……

indeed.

In Ye Chen's hometown in his previous life, there was indeed a particularly delicious thing: meat jelly.

Essentially, it's similar to fish jelly; both are formed when collagen in the soup cross-links with each other when the temperature drops below its freezing point of 25°C.

Analyzing it from the perspective of physical reactions.

When it's hot, the colloidal particles move more violently.

As the temperature decreases, the speed of movement also decreases, and eventually it becomes a solid.

Ah!

Collagen.

You should all be quite familiar with it.

It is simply a protein that is abundant in higher vertebrates and is a major component of skin, cartilage, arterial walls, and connective tissue.

However, there is a problem in making meat jelly: it must be allowed to solidify naturally.

and so.

Under normal circumstances.

This dish can only be made when the weather is cold.

But it's summer now, and the collagen takes a very long time to solidify into a jelly. If it weren't for Annie's pitiful look, Ye Chen would have suspected that she was deliberately causing trouble.

"Can't you?"

"It seems difficult to make this dish with the current conditions."

Annie, seeing that Ye Chen hadn't replied for a long time, couldn't help but feel frustrated.

"Do not."

“I can do it.”

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen's gaze remained firm.

Chapter 50 The Superpower Finally Appears

"Really?"

Anne's eyes focused quickly, then a look of surprise flashed across them.

"Ok!"

Ye Chen nodded.

He then turned back to the kitchen counter to get to work.

……

Take the skin and lean meat from the red-haired pig.

As for the seasonings, they include ginger, scallions, cinnamon, white wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, etc.

Next, burn the pig skin with fire to remove any remaining pig hair and sweat odor. Soak it in warm water in a basin for a while, then scrape off the charred parts with a knife and clean it thoroughly!

Put the cleaned pig skin into a pot of cold water.

Add ginger, scallions, and 1 tablespoon of white wine, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook for 10 minutes.

Boiled pork skin.

Take them out and let them cool slightly.

Next, put the pork skin into a stew pot, add three times the amount of water, ginger, and scallions, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 40 minutes.

……

Anne sat there quietly, watching him.

Ye Chen, who is focused on cooking red-haired pigs, is even more attractive than his usual handsome appearance.

perhaps.

A serious man.

He's always incredibly attractive to women!

Ye Chen, however, was unaware of WGO Executive Officer Annie's ulterior motives.

He was racking his brains for a solution, because figuring out how to cool and solidify the broth into aspic was undoubtedly giving him a huge headache.

Although, after the pork skin is boiled, the broth is basically reduced to half.

Let it cool slightly, or let it cool naturally.

of course.

Putting it in the refrigerator to chill doesn't seem like a bad idea!

While refrigerating broth can quickly cool it into a jelly and extend its shelf life, improper handling may lead to some adverse effects.

For example, during the freezing process, the B vitamins (such as B1 and B6) and vitamin C in meat will gradually decompose, especially after repeated thawing and freezing, the loss is more significant.

and.

When frozen.

The moisture in the meat forms ice crystals that puncture the cell structure.

Finally, this makes the meat dry and tough!

……

"Bogus once told me."

"I possess a unique ability to control temperature at will. I wonder if I can activate it now?"

Think for a moment.

Ye Chen then slowly closed his eyes.

In his mind, Ye Chen felt only darkness, and he couldn't even see his own hand in front of his face.

However, when he calmed down completely, he discovered that many silvery-white specks of light began to appear in the pitch-black space.

Ye Chen stared at the silvery-white specks of light with a puzzled expression, suddenly feeling a strange sense of familiarity. Just as this feeling arose, he discovered that the specks seemed to sense his thoughts and began to drift rapidly upwards.

Then, like a playful and affectionate little sprite, they frantically surrounded Ye Chen.

……

"Ok?"

"Could it be..."

Ye Chen had a sudden flash of inspiration and remembered the time when he had unintentionally activated his superpower.
