Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

Similar to the dish "Nine-Turned Intestines," some chefs, due to frequent business banquets, have omitted garlic flavor, demonstrating how dishes evolve with changing times!

"I believe I possess the tongue of God."

"Then you can find the right answer in any dish!"

"But nowadays, I seem to have become very difficult to accept new things, and I have even become paranoid in my personality."

After Hisako left, Erina, alone, sighed softly: "Do I really need to continue down this path? Was my choice ultimately the right one?"

……

the other side.

Paris, Ye Chen's small restaurant.

"I would like to invite you to serve as a professor at Totsuki Academy. What do you think?"

"Commander-in-Chief," he said to Ye Chen with a smile.

He knew that Ye Chen was the gold medalist of this year's Esquif Youth Culinary Competition and had a good relationship with the Food Association President, Bao Gusi. And, most importantly, he possessed some incredibly fantastical ingredients!

Therefore, facing such a person, Commander-in-Chief Senzaemon naturally intended to extend an olive branch to him.

"Don't go."

Ye Chen said calmly.

The commander-in-chief was taken aback for a moment, then regained his composure and said, "Ye Chen, I am sincere."

"Besides, our Nakiri family has a deep connection with the 'Chef King International Gourmet Association,' so are you really not going to reconsider?"

"I'll just send me to teach and educate people in Totsuki."

Ye Chen replied calmly, "However... it's not impossible for me to be invited to visit Totsuki."

"Oh?"

The commander-in-chief was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I understand. I respect your wishes and I can understand your thoughts!"

He paused, then continued, "The opening ceremony for Totsuki Academy is in a few days, followed by the freshmen's residential training program. I will extend my best invitation to you then, but I hope that..."

"Yes, I won't go back on my word!"

Ye Chen was startled. Like father, like daughter; this commander-in-chief was also an impatient man.

Think back to when Nakiri Managi first came to the restaurant, she quickly wanted to invite him to become the executive officer of the WGO Gourmet Organization.

And now, the Commander-in-Chief is the same way. The two have only known each other for less than an hour, yet he is eager to invite him to become a professor at Totsuki Academy.

really.

Geniuses shine wherever they go.

……

Full of wine and food.

In addition, he talked with Ye Chen for a long time.

Finally, the commander-in-chief left the restaurant with a satisfied expression.

As he left, the restaurant gradually returned to peace and quiet until midnight, when it closed on time!

"Ding dong!"

"It's time to sign in again. Would you like to sign in?"

Ye Chen, as usual, clicked to sign in.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained 10 baby striped salmon. Would you like to breed them?"

"Striped salmon?"

Ye Chen was taken aback when he learned that today's sign-in reward was actually a very common fantasy ingredient from the world of "Toriko".

As the name suggests, the so-called striped salmon is a salmon with horizontal stripes on its body.

Their habitats are rivers and oceans.

Moreover, it has extremely high requirements for water quality and prefers clear water.

Their body length is relatively large, usually between 0.8 and 1 meter, and their weight is generally between 30 and 40 kilograms.

The meat itself isn't considered high-grade, but among hundreds of salmon, only one has "golden salmon roe," which is a very expensive ingredient.

Sushi made with these salmon roe can be listed on the top-tier menu in sushi restaurants.

Simultaneously.

Golden salmon roe.

It is more elastic than regular salmon roe.

It is named "liquid gold" because the liquid inside the thick egg membrane shines with a golden color.

"I wonder if these 10 barramundi fry will produce golden salmon eggs after successful breeding?" After muttering to himself, Ye Chen stopped thinking about it and chose to breed these barramundi fry!

……

late at night.

The street scene was still brightly lit.

Erina, lost in thought, was still awake, standing alone in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling window of her hotel room.

As the daughter of the Nakiri family and possessing the ability of the "God Tongue," Erina's life seems to have been set on a predetermined track from the very beginning.

Food world.

For ordinary people, it might be enjoyable.

But for her, it was both a cruel battlefield and a magnificent stage.

On this stage, Erina fully unleashes her divine tongue, using her taste buds to judge the quality of each dish and scrutinizing each chef with a discerning eye!

From childhood.

She basked in the praise and admiration of the crowd.

However, behind this halo, one also felt an indescribable loneliness.

……

dong dong!

Just now.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Erina, who was lost in thought, gradually brightened her eyes, which had been empty, and then said, "Come in, the door isn't locked."

"Erina."

"So you're still awake?"

Imprinted before him was the commander-in-chief, Senzaemon Nakiri, who possessed both imposing authority and a kind demeanor.

As he returned to the hotel from the restaurant, he passed by Erina's room and noticed through the crack in the door that the light was still on. He was a little surprised, but in the end, he could only knock on the door.

"Grandpa, where did you go?"

Erina, seeing that the visitor was actually her grandfather, quickly asked.

"Ah!"

"Where else can I go?"

The commander sat on the sofa and then replied with a smile, "In all of Paris, besides Ye Chen's restaurant, what other place could attract me?"

Upon hearing this, Erina exclaimed in surprise, "So, Grandpa, you've seen Ye Chen too?"

"I also ate a few side dishes there."

"That guy's cooking skills are truly amazing, much better than yours!"

"Commander-in-Chief," he continued with a smile.

“Grandpa…” Erina pouted in anger and said, “He’s definitely much better than me. After all, any fantasy ingredient he has can satisfy my God Tongue!”

"Ok?"

The commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead.

"Oh no, I was so focused on chatting with Ye Chen at the restaurant that I forgot to ask him about the fantasy ingredients!"

You can tell from that sentence how much he regrets it now.

……

"grandfather."

"You haven't seen his nut-headed shad yet?"

Erina's face flashed with a hint of smugness. She stood up and quickly described to the commander-in-chief the appearance of the nut-shaped shad, how to prepare it, and the taste and texture of the dish!
