Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

After all this, this is the result you gave me?!

Without four-star cuisine, how can she win over politicians from all over the world?

Are these just junk dishes that win only by the taste of the ingredients themselves?

Then when WGO can no longer monopolize the food ingredients, won’t the politicians she has won over leave again?

And suppose some other force first discovered the secret of four-star cuisine...

The thought of this made Nakiri Managi even angrier.

“Dululululu…!”

At this moment, just when Nakiri Masaki was feeling internally frustrated, her cell phone rang.

She picked it up and took a look. Her eyes narrowed. It was Saiba Seiichiro?! Why was he calling?

She picked up the phone and put it to her ear: "Hello! Seiichirou-kun! It's me! What can I do for you?"

"Hey! Managi-chan! Kobayashi-kun is at my Yukihira restaurant right now!

I'm currently working with him to polish the recipe for Beef Bone Clear Broth Ramen.

We're short of someone to taste the food, would you like to come?"

Then, Yaodie's first words shocked Nakiri Managi.

"Hey! Hey, hey! Mangi-chan, are you coming or not?

Oh! By the way, I forgot to tell you that Commander Yinhe is here too!"

"I'll come! I'll come! Of course I'll come!"

Because she was so surprised, Nakiri Makagi didn't even hear what he said next.

Almost without hesitation, she agreed, and then couldn't wait to order someone to prepare the car and rush to Jin Avenue.

—And in Yukihira Restaurant—

"Alright! Everyone's here!"

After finishing his last phone call, Yao Die turned to Lin Qingzheng and Nakiri Senzaemon and said, "Next, let's figure out how to shorten the cooking time of [Ice Wheat] and maintain its taste!"

"No, I think it's better to start with the soup!"

Meanwhile, the foodie who had driven through red lights all the way over was tasting the beef bones and seasonings that Lin Qingzheng had brought. "These spices have very unique flavors. If they're properly combined, they can create a soup base that's even better than beef bone broth!"

"But we don't have any experts in spices right now."

At this time, Lin Qingzheng, who was sandwiched between the two bosses, spoke. As soon as he spoke, he attracted the attention of both of them: "Besides, didn't we already agree to polish it based on the beef bone broth?"

"I called the resort's spice expert! She said she'd be right here!"

At the side, Dojima Gin, still full of philosophical air, said: "As for the original beef bone clear soup, it was just a subtraction made when the variety of fantasy ingredients was insufficient.

"Now, Xiaolin-kun, you've brought out so many spices. If we can't find a recipe that can match this [Golden Bison Bone], then wouldn't we all be useless?"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop messing around, you guys! I still have to do some culinary concentration training later!"

Faced with this situation that was gradually getting out of control, Lin Qingzheng felt that things were getting a little out of hand.

The three days of culinary learning time I have may not be enough.

So, faced with this situation, he could only look at Yao Die: "Chef Xingping, how about we start training according to the recipe of [Beef Bone Clear Broth Ramen]!

I hope to be able to achieve the ultimate in cooking this dish within three days."

"Only on this dish? No, I refuse!"

At this moment, Yaodie is experimenting with the different effects of different water temperatures on [Ice Wheat] flour.

Faced with Lin Qingzheng's unpromising request, he refused without a second thought: "What kind of [Chef's Heart] is it that can only be used on one dish? You don't need this fake stuff now!

Your only goal now is to gather true [culinary heart]!

From today on, we will be responsible for researching and polishing the new menu, and you will be responsible for the business of my Xingping Restaurant!

Remember, during your time as head chef, you are not allowed to use fantasy ingredients!"

"Ah?! This...you want me to be in charge of the restaurant business? But I can't do that! I'm just a newbie and I don't know how to cook many dishes!"

Faced with Yao Die's request, Lin Qingzheng was shocked.

I immediately started shaking my head and refusing, thinking that I simply couldn't do it.

After all, he was just a rookie with a cheat that allowed him to travel directly between two worlds, relying on a cheat code. If he couldn't use fantasy ingredients, wouldn't he be exposed?

"No! You can definitely do it! I want you to use your cooking skills to conquer the taste buds of every customer who comes into the store.

Only in this way can you develop the belief that you are invincible!"

However, Yao Di didn't give him any room to refuse: "The so-called 'culinary heart' is nothing more than determination + belief + emotion. If you don't even have the most basic belief, then forget about taking the path of 'conquest'! Try another one!"

"No! I'm going to take the road of conquest! Just wait and see! It's just an ordinary Yukihira restaurant, right? Watch me!"

ps: The last post went viral because I changed the title, and then it went viral. If I want to change the prompt again, I have to wait an hour.

Chapter 34 Failed Recipe

"So, is this dish really made by Chef Kobayashi? The same Chef Kobayashi Kiyomasa who creates four-star dishes? Are you sure you're not a liar?"

When Nakiri Managi traveled across most of Tokyo and finally arrived at Yukihira Restaurant.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a few old men and old ladies staring at the black food in front of them.

Hey, Chef Kobayashi used to make ramen at home! This is his first time making this dish, so it doesn’t look very good!

In response, the red-haired boy in the lobby smiled innocently and scratched his head. "But rest assured, uncles and aunts, my father Xiaolin said that since today is Chef Xiaolin's first time cooking, all the dishes today are free!"

"Ohhh! That's more like it!"

The neighborhood uncles and aunties nodded in satisfaction, finally stopping worrying about the appearance of the dish. They carefully picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into their mouths: "Hmm! It tastes pretty good! It looks black, but it tastes surprisingly good!"

"No! I think we should add [turmeric poop] to remove the fishy smell!"

"No! A little bit of fishy smell is also a taste! I think we should add [Thunder Mint] to enhance the flavor!"

In the kitchen, Lin Qingzheng continued cooking. Just as the uncle and aunt's praises touched his lips, a smile appeared on his face when two large hands grabbed his shoulders. "Xiao Lin-kun/Chef Xiao Lin, what should we put in this [Fantasy Paradise Soup]?"

This was because Dojima Gin and the Food Demon had a conflict, and the two wanted to seek Lin Qingzheng's opinion.

"I don't know, I just want to make this tempura!"

However, as a [Cooking Heart] apprentice, Lin Qingzheng only wanted to complete the tasks assigned by Yao Die and cultivate the belief of invincibility. "Oh! By the way, I just saw that Erina's mother, the WGO Special Executive, seems to have arrived at the restaurant!"

However, even the belief in invincibility requires a quiet space, so Lin Qingzheng revealed the information about Nakiri Managi's arrival. After he mastered the ability to breathe through his skin, he became extremely sensitive to air disturbances and could hear people talking from a distance.

For example, now he heard that Dojima Gin and Nakiri Senzaemon, who ran out of the door, seemed to be in a strange state after seeing Nakiri Managi.

"Hi! Mangi-chan, long time no see!"

"Yo! Mangi-chan, it's so great that you're here!"

"Didn't you ask us to come here to taste the food? Are we just standing at the door and chatting?"

"No! Of course not! Come on, Commander, how about we each make a pot of soup and let Managi-chan taste it and judge its quality?"

"Okay! Come on then!"

So, the two of them hit it off immediately and excitedly brought Nakiri Managi into the house and headed towards the kitchen.

"Golden bison bones, volcanic rock salt! Fiery chili peppers! Exploding pepper! Bitter ginger! Turmeric poop! / Thunder mint!"

Ignoring Lin Qingzheng who was still diligently frying tempura, the old man and the strong man excitedly selected the ingredients and seasonings they needed, and then began to make soup.

To be honest, when the two people were making the soup, their actions and processes were actually similar. They both washed the beef bones again first, then added two slices of bitter ginger, and boiled them in the legendary [Mount Fuji snowmelt water]. At the same time, they finely ground the seasonings and [volcanic rock salt] of their choice with a grinder.

When the water for making soup boils and a layer of foam appears on the beef bones, and the color of the soup gradually changes from transparent to light brown, then you smell the aroma steaming from the pot and sprinkle in the seasonings, and then two almost completely different aromas emerge.

One is an extremely light and pure meaty aroma, without any strange smell, which blatantly teases your appetite, but is also subtle, just like a dance performed at a formal party, dignified and holy.

On the other side, from the pot, a cool aroma of meat with a very light fishy smell came out.

This feeling is a little bit evil. It doesn't feel like the dance at a formal party. Instead, it feels like a girl with a nose ring and leather pants dancing passionately under the flickering lights. She is seductive and charming.

"suck……!"

I have to say, when he smelled these two completely different aromas, Lin Qingzheng couldn't help but tilt his head and sniffed. He felt that the aroma of these two soups was much stronger than the [Beef Bone Clear Soup] that Yao Die had made before.

Moreover, the performance of Gin Dojima and Senzaemon Nakiri was not over yet. They both held [Fiery Chili] and [Exploding Pepper] in their hands. Sniffing the aroma wafting from the pot, Gin Dojima sprinkled the [Exploding Pepper]. The dancers at the party seemed to have drunk too much wine. Their dancing movements lost their restraint and began to sway and wave, wantonly emitting their own strength and beauty. Although they lost their holiness and dignity, they added passion and heat.

As for the Food Demon, the old man sprinkled [Fiery Chili]. Suddenly, the fiery chili and the numbing mint seemed to turn on the speakers in the dance hall. The dancer wearing only leather pants began to spin on the pole. The fishy smell of meat seemed to be the beauty revealed between the deafening music and the flashing neon lights.

In the end, the two people sprinkled [volcanic salt] at the same time, and suddenly, the dancers and dancers who seemed to exist only in fantasy broke through the barrier between fantasy and reality and appeared before your eyes.

“Gurgle~!”

Just being stimulated by these two completely different aromas, the stomachs of everyone present began to rumble at the same time.

"Give me some to try!"

However, among everyone in the kitchen, the only one who was qualified to taste these two soups was Nakiri Managi. The other people's requests were all rejected by the two with a roll of their eyes: "No! Wait until Managi tastes them and decides which one is more delicious!"

Then the old man and the strong man stared at Nakiri Managi's face, watching her taste the soup of both of them bit by bit, and the expression on their faces gradually changed from worry and fear to relief and comfort.

"How's it going? Mangi-chan! / How's it going? Mangi-chan!"

Then, they both asked, "Does my soup taste better?"

"Uh~!"

Nakiri Managi smiled slightly and looked at Dojima Gin, then shook her head. After his excited expression, she looked at her father and said, "Both of your soups tasted terrible!

The flavors are totally out of sync! One is incredibly fishy, ​​the other incredibly smelly!

When you were adding the seasonings, didn't either of you consider that the flavor of the fantasy seasoning was too strong and there was a possibility that it could not be blended?

In that case, it would be better to return to the original beef bone broth! At least it won’t be inedible! " - Turmeric poop has a faint smell.

"Ah...this..."

The old man and the strong man looked at each other, opened their mouths in silence, not knowing what to say.

"Hey! Chef Kobayashi! Come here! Show them your skills! Let them see what true four-star cuisine tastes like!"

At this time, Nakiri Managi spoke again. She called out to Lin Qingzheng and wanted Lin Qingzheng to show them his skills.

"Ah... this... me? I'd better not do that."

ps: Check out the comments section, I posted a question about the world being captured by food.

Chapter 35: The Thought of Invincibility and Showing Off One's Skills

To be honest, Lin Qingzheng actually didn't want to "show off his skills".

Because he knew that there was nothing wrong with Dojima Gin and Nakiri Senzaemon's recipes. The only problem was that they had not yet awakened their gourmet cells and could not use gourmet energy to activate/control the characteristics of the ingredients.

In this case, it would be shallow and superficial for him to use this to show off. If he had that much time, he might as well cook a few more dishes and cultivate the "invincible spirit" needed to concentrate his cooking skills.

"Come on, Xiaolin-kun, let's see how far we are from you!"

But then, Yao Di, who had been silently cooking noodles nearby, spoke up: "Besides, being timid and not daring to show yourself is not the spirit of a conqueror! If you can defeat us head-on, it will also help to strengthen your culinary spirit!"

"Ah? Is that so? But... that's not cooking..."

I have to say that facing Yao Die's words, Lin Qingzheng was still a little worried. If he won in this way, could he really cultivate the so-called "invincible thought"?

"That's not important." Yao Dad had a warm smile on his face: "Erina has the [God's Tongue], which gives her an unmatched advantage when seasoning food.

The blood of the Caibo family will make us stronger the more stressed we are.

Some people are even richer and can crush others by buying better ingredients. Advantage is advantage, and strength is strength, no matter what it is, even if it is only temporary.

Rather, the more temporary the advantage, the harder you should work to maximize it, so that it can become your permanent advantage."

Ah... this...

After Yao Die said this, Lin Qingzheng was speechless.

Because what he said has been very clear, you need to pretend, you must pretend, you have to pretend, if you don't pretend, it will be irresponsible to yourself.

"OK then!"

Now that Yao Die has said this, it would be inappropriate for Lin Qingzheng not to take action.
