Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

……

Pfft~

That's when.

As you chew, the sandwich bursts with flavor in your mouth.

The rich cheese sauce suddenly overflowed from the corner of Nakiri Managi's mouth, and coupled with her extremely happy expression, it was easy for Ye Chen next to her to have all sorts of wild thoughts!

Managi suddenly felt her face burning, and couldn't help but let out a soft, delicious moan: "Mmm...it's so delicious it makes my waist go weak~"

"This...this unique taste is simply impossible!"

"Crispy corn kernels, savory and tender ham, sweet and sticky cheese, and eggs that seem ordinary but are equally important... These are common ingredients that I can't resist now."

It is said that the sandwich is named after Sandwich, a town in southeast England.

Long ago, there was an earl here who was addicted to gambling. To make it easier to eat at the card table, he ordered his servants to put meat and vegetables between two slices of bread.

This style later became popular in English high society due to his promotion, and then spread to all parts of the world.

In fact.

In Western-style light meals.

Sandwiches are undoubtedly an important food.

Two slices of toast sandwiched with meat, eggs, vegetables, cheese, etc. make a simple and convenient meal.

Chinese people are accustomed to eating hot meals at the table. Sandwiches and the like are not considered elegant and usually only appear at breakfast.

Yes, when going on a picnic or outing.

Because it tastes good when served cold, it can also be considered a portable meal.

……

"Good~"

"Next up is the cheese and fried egg."

Wiping her mouth, Nakiri Managi, still wanting more, quickly turned her attention to the cheese fried egg on the other side.

Immediately.

She first cut open the cheese poached egg.

The smooth egg yolk, like flowing golden honey, slowly overflowed, carrying a hint of languor and tenderness.

Accompanying it is the cheese hidden on one side of the fried egg, adding a unique touch to this simple and unpretentious dish. The cheese, under the heat, has already become soft and elastic.

"Wow... This is really something!"

One bite, and the tender yet chewy texture, along with the rich and sweet cheese, instantly fills your mouth.

Finally, it transformed into a warm current, spreading along the throat.

gradually.

Managi seems to be able to sense it.

I lay there comfortably on the enormous cheese-topped egg, which was as soft as the softest cloud in spring. With a gentle touch, it would dent slightly, leaving a faint mark.

With just a slight turn of her body, the cheese-stuffed egg rippled with delicate waves.

……

"Hmm..."

Managi let out a lazy call, then her thoughts returned to reality.

Next, she took a sip of corn chowder. It was smooth and delicate, incredibly sweet, and the rich cheese and the sweet corn collided and blended together to create a wonderful flavor that made her feel all sweet and adorable!

In short.

A bowl of hot corn chowder.

With a sandwich and a fried egg, this life is simply heavenly!

Afterwards, Nakiri Managi, still engrossed in the moment, activated the [Transmission Pulse] skill again, making a bit of a mess in the small restaurant.

……

finally.

The breakfast ended in a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere.

Satisfied, Nakiri Managi even volunteered to do the menial tasks of wiping the table and washing the dishes.

If Anne, the WGO First-Class Executive Officer, had seen this scene, she would have been so shocked that her jaw would have dropped. After all, how could Nakiri Managi, who holds the power to judge global food, be willing to lower herself to do such menial tasks?

It's almost done tidying up.

Managi then casually found a seat and sat down.

It was clear that even after waking up and shamelessly having breakfast, she wasn't in a hurry to leave the small restaurant.

Instead, he quietly observed Ye Chen, who was wiping the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Fang Blade with a clean cloth.

……

Casual and undisciplined.

The breath is restrained.

This man named Ye Chen is indeed someone you can never truly understand.

Moreover, he possesses outstanding leadership charisma and temperament. Even someone as strong as Special Class Executive Officer Nakiri Managi is often taken advantage of by him and obediently listens to him in many ways, letting him make the decisions.

"Ye Chen".

"There is something."

Finally, Nakiri Managi suddenly spoke, breaking the rare moment of tranquility: "I want to discuss something with you."

"Tell me."

Ye Chen didn't raise his head; he simply continued wiping the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Fang Blade.

"The judging process for this year's WGO is almost complete. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, THE BOOK, the food encyclopedia guide, will be updated and released next month."

After finishing her sentence, Nakiri Managi paused for a moment, then continued, "I won't hide anything from you. This year, the number of three-star and two-star restaurants that have been selected by the judges has decreased dramatically. This is a bad sign!"

"This indicates that the entire WGO evaluation system may be facing collapse."

……

Upon hearing this...

Ye Chen fell silent.

After a moment's thought, he knew what was going on.

Take the history of WGO judging as an example. It attempts to select "restaurants recommended by locals to tourists", but in recent years, the executives have indeed performed worse and worse in this regard.

Broadly speaking.

The evaluations of the WGO executives can be divided into five categories:

The first type only requires someone who is better than others in the same category and has a memorable quality.

Then, the second category is restaurants that offer above-average quality in budget restaurants.

And the third to fifth categories.

These correspond to one-star, two-star, and three-star restaurants, respectively.

WGO one-star restaurants used to be judged by the standard that "it's worth trying if it's on the way," but now the standard has become "it has a higher level than similar restaurants."

The current standard for two-star restaurants has simply become an accumulation of degree terms, such as the standard room area being no less than a certain number of square meters, reasonable layout, elegant style, etc.!

If we were to draw an analogy between the WGO three-star restaurant rating and the Oscars, then it would be equivalent to the Best Picture award.

Quoting the original definition from WGO's "THE BOOK" guide:

Three-star restaurant.

They are all "worth making a special trip to eat".

But achieving this is incredibly difficult. For example, tracing the source of ingredients requires the head chef to personally inspect the time of the catch or the soil of the farm. There's also the art of plating with precision down to 0.5 centimeters, and for three consecutive years, random checks have been conducted to ensure that the temperature difference of the dishes is ≤1℃...

……

Let’s not talk about it yet.

These standards are rather vague and lack clear definitions.

Even highly trained and experienced executives who visit restaurants around the world may not be able to provide a fair and objective review.

After all, people are subjective. Whether a dish is delicious, whether a restaurant is elegant, whether a chef is skilled... these aspects will definitely be judged and felt differently by different people!

Simultaneously.

In addition, there are changes in consumer demand.

It seems that the WGO brand has lost its appeal.

Faced with the current predicament, some WGO star-rated restaurants have begun to choose to save themselves.
