Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

Otherwise, it will chip or curl, becoming a useless knife.

This is why a good kitchen knife is so hard to come by.

And this Melk kitchen knife, made from the tooth of the Dragon King Dilous and fragments of Komatsu's broken knife, is an extremely rare treasure that is hard to come by.

……

"Well, let me think about it."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said with a firm gaze, "Such a fine knife naturally can no longer be called a Melker kitchen knife."

"Since the main body uses the tooth of the 1-year-old Dragon King Dilous, then let's call it..."

"The Eternal Dragon Fang Blade!"

The voice just fell.

Another miraculous scene unfolded.

The Melk in his hand—no, the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Fang Blade—was trembling slightly.

At the same time, it emitted a few soft "buzzing" sounds, as if trying to respond to Ye Chen's bestowal of a name!

after that.

Put away the Eternal Dragon Fang Blade.

Ye Chen then used the 20 snake-frog calves he had just received as a sign-in reward to raise them.

Snake Frog!

It belongs to the amphibian family.

Despite its somewhat frightening appearance—a combination of snake and frog—it can often grow to nearly 2 meters in length and weigh almost 100 kilograms.

However, they mainly live in wetlands and swamps, areas with little human activity, and their fighting ability is not strong!

Ok.

The most delicious part of the snake and frog.

Unlike the "jewel flesh" found inside the body of the Ligalo mammoth, it is renowned for the deliciousness of its liver.

Soaking a whole snake or frog in liquor can create "snake and frog wine," a favorite among gourmets. It can be enjoyed while drinking, and is considered a highly effective invigorating ingredient.

Of course.

Although in terms of meat quality, it is far inferior to that of gem meat.

But it's also fantastic, combining the firmness of snake meat with the tenderness of frog meat. It tastes best when grilled over a fire!

……

at the same time.

The headquarters of the WGO (Wine Organization for Gastronomy) is located in the heart of Paris.

Dressed in an exquisite kimono, the noblewoman Nakiri Managi, like a quietly blooming rose, sat gracefully under the soft light.

Before her lay a mountain of restaurant evaluation reports, meticulously prepared by executives from various regions, each carrying an exploration and assessment of renowned restaurants worldwide!

Pick up one of them.

Nakiri Managi then eagerly began to flip through the pages.

time.

Like a grain of sand in the palm of your hand.

It slips away little by little, through our fingers.

Managi was completely immersed in the sea of ​​books, and she flipped through them faster and faster, her eyes scanning up and down so frequently that it was dazzling.

"what!"

"I'm exhausted."

After finishing reading the last report, Managi couldn't help but stretch.

Then, she slowly got up, walked lightly to the window, and gently pushed open the tightly closed window.

The night outside the window was already as thick as ink, enveloping the entire world in tranquility. However, hidden beneath this dark night sky was another breathtakingly beautiful scene!

……

"The moon is so beautiful tonight!"

Nakiri Managi was involuntarily captivated by the scene, her gaze fixed on the bright moonlight, unable to look away for a long time.

However, this moment of peace and beauty was soon shattered by the heavy pressure of reality.

"Ugh!"

"How strange!"

She couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

My thoughts were instantly pulled back to the complexities of my work.

The restaurant evaluation summary reports submitted this year struck her heart like a heavy hammer.

The figures in the report are alarming: the number of three-star restaurants has plummeted from 157 last year to 114, while two-star restaurants have not been spared either, decreasing from 507 to 462.

Why have all the high-end restaurants gone quiet this year?

Managi frowned and muttered to herself.

Behind each of these numbers lie countless unknown secrets and crises.

In particular, when she learned that Sushi Sho, once a wildly popular restaurant known as the "Oscars of the food industry" where people had to queue for 6 hours to taste its delicious dishes, had now ended up in a miserable state of being owed wages and closing down.

A feeling of indescribable sorrow welled up inside me!

……

"Squeak!"

With a long, soft click, the door slowly opened.

A delicate white flat sandal emerged first, its upper crafted from supple, soft leather.

Next, above was a dress embroidered with exquisite lace in silk, and looking further up... one could see Annie's joyful little face.

"Ok?"

"Annie, you're back?"

Managi, after regaining her composure, quickly asked her in a low voice.

"right!"

"Lord Managi, look what this is?"

Annie blinked and walked briskly into the house, carefully carrying a box of packaged red-haired pork jelly in both hands.

She walked quickly to Managi, gently placed the red-haired pork jelly on the table, and said truthfully without hiding anything, "This is a cold dish of pork jelly made by Ye Chen using the new fantasy ingredient, red-haired pork!"

Nakiri Managi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

My eyes were immediately drawn to the red-haired pork jelly in front of me, so I quickly opened the food box.

All I can see is that...

The meat jelly was crystal clear.

Like pieces of warm, beautiful jade, they shimmer with an alluring luster under the light.

Through the transparent texture, you can vaguely see the red pork embedded inside, with its bright color and clear texture, as if telling the story of its unique origin.

Managi couldn't help but take a deep sniff, and immediately felt a rich fragrance waft towards her nose, making her involuntarily swallow hard.

at the same time.

My stomach started rumbling in protest.

……

"What beautiful meat jelly."

"I've traveled to many places around the world and tasted countless delicacies in my life, but I've never seen such a simple meat jelly with such an enchanting appearance!"

Hungry Managi stared intently at the red-haired pork jelly, her face filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Samagi-sama."

Just then, a gentle voice sounded in my ear.

"You must still miss Ye Chen's cooking, right? Look how hungry you are, your eyes are practically glowing green!"

Beside her, thoughtful Annie, with a playful smile, gently handed over a pair of chopsticks, saying, "Here, hurry up and eat. Don't waste such delicious food."

……

Managi.
