Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

Just like it is now.

Ye Chen would discuss with diners how to grill chicken to make it taste even better.

His superb culinary skills always allow him to perfectly resolve any doubts or questions from diners, earning their trust and respect!

Perhaps this is the charm of this small restaurant: there is no distinction between the main hall and private rooms, and guests can chat warmly with Ye Chen. Moreover, every guest can join the conversation at any time, reducing the barriers between tables and people!

Even diners who aren't good at communicating with strangers will find it incredibly interesting to just sit and watch.

……

now.

The commander-in-chief who has not yet left.

I'm taking a sip of this special fruit wine called "Wan Guo Jiu" (Ten Thousand Fruit Wine), and the taste is absolutely amazing!

Yes, that's right. This fruit wine is made with sweet whole fruits as ingredients and the finest pure spring water. It has a mellow and fragrant taste, and the aftertaste lingers on the tongue for three days, leaving an unforgettable impression.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this wine the "King of Wines".

Each wine has a different taste. To say how good the taste is, you definitely have to look at what you are comparing it to.

After all, most alcoholic beverages have a pungent taste.

Even so, most people still enjoy drinking alcohol, because from a physical perspective, alcohol can affect the secretion of dopamine in the brain.

The release of dopamine can make people feel happy, which is much better than the direct increase from smoking or drug use.

Once people experience the stimulating sensation of alcohol, they will develop a craving for it.

now.

Among Ye Chen's Wan Guo wine.

It encompasses a variety of flavors, including the richness, astringency, lingering aftertaste, spiciness, sweetness, heat, and coolness of wine.

With just a sip, the fruity wine seems to flow from head to toe, giving you the feeling of eating something spicy on a hot summer day and then drinking a large glass of chilled, fruity wine!

"Happy!"

The commander-in-chief, exhaling a breath of stale air, couldn't help but roar in anger.

……

"What kind of wine is this?"

The commander-in-chief, savoring the unforgettable experience, murmured, "I feel that no matter how sweet or refreshing other wines are, they can't compare to even a fraction of the quality of your Wan Guo wine!"

"Ok?"

Can't you taste the difference?

Ye Chen frowned, then shook his head and asked.

"Could it be a wine made from sweet whole fruit?" the commander-in-chief asked in surprise, as if he had just realized something.

"That's right, this super fruit wine, made with sweet whole fruit, can turn 10 cubic meters of water into high-proof liquor with just one drop."

"Sigh~"

"Is it really a sweet, whole fruit?"

Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but gasp.

After that, he started taking a careful sip, closed his eyes and savored the experience for a while before shaking his head and saying, "Ah, if I could drink such sake, I, Senzaemon, would have no regrets even if I died right now!"

Realizing the preciousness of the fruit wine, the slightly drunk commander-in-chief quickly put the cork back in.

Hide this half-empty bottle of fruit wine and save it for later to savor.

……

A Parisian night.

It has never been content to remain dormant.

Sixty percent of the city’s consumption occurs at night, and “night food” is the most exciting movement in this symphony of the night.

Ye Chen's restaurant is truly unique. Although it's not big, you never know what kind of fantastic ingredients he'll bring out, or what kind of amazing dishes he'll prepare.

"Ugh!"

"time flies."

Finally, the commander-in-chief sighed, got up, and paid the bill.

Then, he turned to Erina and Hisako and said, "It's getting late, we should go back."

"Yes!"

"grandfather."

Erina nodded, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

As they were about to leave the restaurant, Erina couldn't help but turn back and gaze deeply at Ye Chen a few times.

It's been a while since Erina first met Ye Chen, and they still had to part ways in the end. For Erina, who had just been enjoying those fantastical ingredients, it was naturally very hard to say goodbye.

"Ye Chen."

"You must remember to come to Totsuki!"

"You absolutely...you must come. If you don't come, I...I'll kill myself."

Erina looked at Ye Chen with misty eyes, feeling a mix of sadness and bitterness in her heart.

Ye Chen came to her side, gently stroked her soft hair, and softly comforted her, "Little glutton, be good, I will definitely do what I promise."

Erina felt touched and warmed, nodding vigorously, her sweet voice trembling with emotion: "I believe you, but I will miss you so much. Will you forget me?"

"how come?"

Even if I forget myself, I will never forget you!

Ye Chen replied confidently.

Meanwhile, the commander-in-chief, gazing at Erina's deep affection, fell into deep thought.

In the end, amidst a warm and affectionate atmosphere, Erina and the others left the restaurant to say goodbye to Ye Chen!

……

usually.

The peak time for dinner is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

In other words, the number of people going to restaurants and eateries should be the highest during this period.

Then, most of the customers still in the restaurant at 9:30 are drinking. So some restaurants close their kitchens at 10 pm and close the doors after all the customers in the front have left.

Of course.

It also depends on the region, food culture, population density, and market...

These factors can all affect restaurant opening hours, for example:

In northeastern cities of China, you can still find people sitting on the street drinking and eating skewers at barbecue stalls at night, and even in the early hours of the morning.

And at the same time.

In many cities in the south.

Most of the restaurants that remain open are fast food or takeout restaurants.

……

Summer night.

suddenly.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

Then, the rain began to pour down, and the temperature instantly became very cool.

The restaurant had just closed, and Ye Chen, having finished his work, sat on the second-floor balcony, quietly watching the torrential rain outside.

On a rainy night, homesickness arises. On such a rainy night, a faint sadness always arises. Ye Chen's feelings are even more complicated. As a transmigrator, his soul and body have long been completely integrated into this world.

Therefore, this restaurant actually became his "root".

Simultaneously.

in mind.

He couldn't help but think about certain people.

Managi Nakiri, whose body is weak from not eating for a long time; Erina, who has a tsundere personality; Alice, who is straightforward; Leonora, who has an exotic look; Rindou Kobayashi, who is a glutton; and the dignified yet somewhat kind-hearted commander-in-chief...

These people, and every little detail of his life, are all etched in his mind.

Think of the end.

Ye Chen sighed softly and leaned back in his chair.

He picked up the wine bottle on the table and gulped down two mouthfuls, muttering, "Ah, as expected, wine brewed from imaginary ingredients is the best!"
