Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After drinking a top-quality wine like Wan Guo Jiu, the taste of those fruit wines that can only be drunk as a beverage seems less satisfying!

……

"Ding dong!"

"Your check-in time is up. Would you like to check in?"

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out again, and Ye Chen, as always, chose to claim the sign-in reward.

"Ding dong!"

"Host, check-in successful."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, host, you have successfully obtained 10 BB Corn Seeds, 20 Baby Pearl Shrimp, and 100 Orange Salt Seeds. Would you like to cultivate them all?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was somewhat stunned. Although the system's sign-in rewards were always full of randomness, like opening a blind box, you never knew what kind of fantasy ingredients or items you would get!

But this time the reward is quite generous.

First is the Protein Gem Shrimp, which has a capture level of Lv8.

Despite its slightly lower grade, just like its name suggests, the shrimp's body is like a jewel, radiating a vibrant array of colors.

After entering the entrance.

When it comes into contact with your mouth, it will temporarily emit a bright light, making it a high-end ingredient exclusively for the wealthy.

……

then.

It's orange salt.

Its importance and value are self-evident.

Although the capture level of the fantasy ingredient Orange Salt is the same as that of the previous Corn Chowder Tree and Ham Egg Grass, it is below Lv1.

However, it is a fruity rock salt with the aroma and sourness of oranges, and can be used in cooking after being crushed.

Correct!

It can be used in any dish!

The original meaning of the character “盐” is “to boil brine in a vessel”. The Shuowen Jiezi (说文解字) records: “The natural brine is called brine, and the boiled brine is called salt.”

When it comes to salt, there's a saying that goes, "I'd rather go without meat than without salt."

In cooking, saltiness is the primary flavor and the foundation of most complex flavors. Not only do most dishes rely on saltiness, but even sweet and sour or hot and sour dishes require a suitable amount of saltiness to make them flavorful and palatable.

If.

Make sure your kitchen ends up with only one type of condiment.

So, what will you leave behind?

I believe 99.7% of people would leave salt in their food, because salt is the king of all flavors. Without other spices and seasonings, it's hard to make a delicious dish stand out.

Orange salt, a fantastical ingredient, undoubtedly gave Ye Chen more room to maneuver in his culinary creations!

"I really didn't expect it."

"I never would have thought I'd get orange salt, a fantastical ingredient that can be used as a seasoning."

Unable to contain his surprise, Ye Chen chuckled to himself.

Chapter 76 BB Corn

BB Corn.

A fantasy ingredient with an extremely high grade.

Yes, the capture level is Lv30. ​​It is mainly distributed in the top of the forest in "Plant Hell" and the even harsher environment of "Gourmet World". Its growth conditions are harsh and it is difficult to cultivate artificially.

Its shape is similar to that of the corn chowder tree, and its size is far greater than that of ordinary corn.

When immature.

The height is approximately 2 meters.

When mature, it can reach 100 meters in height, equivalent to a 20 to 30-story building.

However, compared to the Corn Soup Tree, the stems and leaves of BB Corn have stronger fibers that are difficult to cut with ordinary weapons.

The corn kernels are very plump and hard, requiring high-intensity heating to pop open, and a single kernel can make enough popcorn for 100 people after being popped at high temperature, which is quite amazing!

Because of its extreme difficulty to obtain, it has always been a prized possession sought after by top gourmets and wealthy individuals.

"I remembered."

"BB corn is the protagonist Toriko's life menu."

Ye Chen was startled, only then remembering that in the original work, Toriko spent two days and two nights exploring the "Jungle of Wu" in order to obtain BB corn, and finally discovered the BB corn whose tough, steel-like corn roots were connected to the forest!

Finally, after exerting tremendous effort and unleashing his ultimate move, the "Super Five-Hit Combo," he barely managed to obtain a few kernels of corn.

however.

There was a mysterious person.

However, it can cut the entire BB corn cob in one go, highlighting its powerful strength.

……

early morning.

A ray of sunlight gently caresses Totsuki Academy.

Having just returned to Japan from France, Erina had no time to rest before donning her iconic blue and white Totsuki Academy uniform and preparing for a new tasting session!

Judging from appearance

Erina is truly unmatched.

The standard of beauty sometimes involves more than just appearance; it also requires consideration of many other factors, such as personality, temperament, temperament, demeanor, and taste.

Tell me, would you rather date a girl with stunning looks but an overbearing attitude, or a girl with beautiful looks, a gentle and quiet personality, and a personality that makes you feel like you're basking in a spring breeze?

I believe most boys would choose the latter, except for those with masochistic tendencies!

Aside from his somewhat arrogant temperament.

In fact, Erina is perfect in every way.

With a noble temperament like an orchid and an elegant demeanor like a pine tree, coupled with her almost complete lack of experience in love and life, she occasionally displays a "silly" side.

Ah!

Anyway.

In the Totsuki Academy, where "beautiful women abound".

Erina is definitely a top contender, if not the number one or number two!

……

At this moment.

Erina was sitting elegantly in a gilded chair in the courtyard.

The courtyard is filled with colorful flowers in full bloom, some as red as fire, some as pink as the sunset, and some as white as snow... The air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, which mingles with the fresh scent of grass and trees!

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers to Erina's nose; it was the various flowers blooming in the garden quietly releasing their fragrance.

Before you lies a steaming bowl of sea bream ramen in a white broth.

This bowl of ramen.

It's traditional, but also quite unique.

The soup base is made by simmering top-quality Akashi sea bream and shellfish for a full 12 hours, making it incredibly rich!

The thick, white sea bream broth, with a few bright green scallions floating on the surface, and the addition of ingredients such as ginger slices and soft-boiled eggs, makes the ramen even more flavorful, with a rich but not greasy broth.

Just a sniff is enough to intoxicate and whet the appetite.

……

"Miss."

Hisako leaned down slightly and whispered in Erina's ear, "The dish you're going to try now is the signature dish from Suniya Ramen in Shinsaibashi: sea bream broth ramen."

"You mean, the Cunwu Ramen under the Dongliduo Group?"

Erina frowned and asked in return.

"right!"

Hisako nodded in agreement.

Donglido Foods Group is a restaurant giant with 1955 stores in 30 countries around the world.

Its subsidiary brand, Sun-ya Ramen, already has 87 stores nationwide in Japan, with daily sales of approximately 2 bowls.

This brand is famous for its daily selection of pork bones that are slow-cooked for more than 10 hours, and its Shinsaibashi branch was even listed on the Osaka Must-Eat List by Dianping in 2023!
