Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

"Ah!"

"What a terrifying monster."

Upon hearing this, Managi could only manage a bitter smile.

……

There was a long silence.

Nakiri Managi is lost in thought.

His expression turned serious, and he said earnestly to Annie, "Let's leave the matter of Ye Chen and the Fantasy Ingredients for now. Now let's talk about another matter concerning the life and death of the WGO Food Organization..."

After saying that, she tossed several restaurant review reports that she had just read to Annie.

Anne had never seen Nakiri Managi with such a serious expression before, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but she also vaguely understood something in her heart.

"I'll just say it."

“These high-end restaurants that have been certified as three- or two-star by the WGO are gradually facing closure and bankruptcy.”

Nakiri Managi asked Anne calmly, "Tell me, why is that?"

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Anne hesitated for a moment.

She then had no choice but to boldly express her opinion on the matter: "In my opinion, the number of diners who can afford to eat at high-end restaurants is decreasing."

"Only this conclusion can explain why the number of these high-end restaurant locations has plummeted this year!"

Do you think that's the reason?

Managi shook her head upon hearing Anne's conclusion.

"Lady Managi, if we're going to analyze this from a deeper perspective, then the answer to this question... I... I really dare not say!"

Anne was unable to reply.

……

"is it?"

"So you knew too..."

Managi sighed deeply, then closed her eyes and said in despair, "This isn't a problem with those high-end restaurants, it's a problem with our WGO!"

In fact, WGO has long established a standardized and fair restaurant review mechanism in the global culinary industry, enabling all its chefs to work and strive towards a common goal.

Although from the very beginning, WGO's goal was simply to find dishes that could satisfy God's Tongue.

however.

It cannot be denied, though.

The existence of this culinary organization is indeed of great significance.

However, with the development of the culinary era, WGO has become a double-edged sword, representing both honor and...

shackles!

Chapter 59 Upset

High-end ingredients.

Often, only the simplest cooking methods are needed.

However, for restaurants that have received WGO star ratings, the competition for ingredients is only one aspect. WGO's evaluation standards are also quite high in terms of decor, tableware, and staff assessment!

therefore.

following.

The problem is that operating costs are constantly rising.

After all, in order to maintain their WGO rating, restaurants and chefs will invest more resources, for example:

Increased investment in renovations, replacement of tableware, improved table settings... It's even said that in some three-star restaurants, a mere waiter can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month!

Undoubtedly, these heavy expenses have also increased the operational pressure on WGO star-rated restaurants.

……

"What a headache!"

Thinking of this, Nakiri Managi couldn't help but shake her head.

"Lady Managi, what's wrong?" Annie noticed the slightly pained expression on Managi's face and immediately became anxious, asking with concern.

Managi snapped out of her daze, let out a long breath, and laughed, "It's nothing. I just had a sudden idea. Could we release a brand new fantasy food encyclopedia this year, in addition to THE BOOK?"

"I've already thought of a name: 'Illustrated Guide to Fantasy Ingredients'."

"Illustrated guide?"

"Fantasy ingredients?"

Annie paused, clearly not quite following Managi's train of thought, her mind momentarily blank.

"My idea is to leverage the resources and power of WGO to organize and compile information on all known fantasy ingredients and then promote them globally!"

Managi spoke with a deep gaze and a calm, resolute expression.

……

this time.

She truly witnessed all sorts of fantastical ingredients.

Whether it's gem meat, roasted whole pig, red-haired pig, or frightening apples, rainbow fruits, and so on... the appearance of each fantasy ingredient is enough to broaden her horizons!

However, few people know the true nature of these fantastical ingredients.

even.

It can be said.

Currently, the fantastical ingredients that people are familiar with.

It's just the tip of the iceberg in a vast, unknown world; it's extremely rare.

Therefore, it is very necessary to update a "Fantasy Ingredients Illustrated Guide" from time to time.

……

early morning.

The air in Paris is rather fresh.

Dewdrops dotted the green leaves, so clear and beautiful they were breathtaking.

Ye Chen, who had just woken up and washed up, was opening the restaurant door when he was startled by the slender figure in front of him: "What are you doing here?"

"Ok!"

"Yes... it's me."

A soft voice rang in Ye Chen's ear.

A familiar, faint fragrance unexpectedly wafted into Ye Chen's nostrils, making the soft, jade-like body next to him even more irresistibly alluring!

"Miss, the restaurant isn't open in the morning, okay? If you want to eat, could you come back in the afternoon?"

Ye Chen turned his gaze away from the noble and arrogant young lady and asked in surprise.

"what?"

"Who...who told you that?"

"I came here to eat, didn't I?"

Upon hearing this, Erina blushed slightly and then glared at him with annoyance.

"cut!"

"Stop it."

Ye Chen shrugged and said, "From the very beginning, your eyes have been darting towards the kitchen counter. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Erina, whose thoughts had been exposed, immediately changed her expression, her pretty face turning cold. She hummed and said, "Today... I... well, to be honest, I couldn't sleep at all last night."

"My mind is filled with nothing but those nut-based shad dishes!"

Ye Chen chuckled and said, "You're quite the little glutton."

"No, that's not true."

Upon hearing this, Erina blushed even more.

At this moment, she was inevitably feeling a bit confused. She used to go to bed on time every night without fail, and her daily routine was quite regular.

but.

Do not know why.

Ever since the appearance of the fantasy ingredients, her sleep quality has been getting worse and worse.
