Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

Mr. Kameda scratched his chin. "But we always have to be prepared, right? Like that Tokyo Food Agency, wasn't their food supply cut off by Chef Kobayashi?"

"That's because he disobeyed the rules and attacked us, Totsuki and WGO, without authorization!

He even wants to hold Mr. Xiaolin hostage and monopolize that batch of fantasy ingredients!"

Yao Di rubbed his chin and stared at Kameda sharply: "Besides, even so, Lord Xiaolin didn't say he wouldn't sell them anything. It's just that they are too cowardly and embarrassed to appear in front of Lord Xiaolin again!"

After saying that, he turned back to look at the Demon King and said, "Master Commander, my suggestion is that we should treat the [CFO] organization as an ordinary student club.

As for Mr. Kobayashi, I think we can take the initiative to contact him and ask him what he means! "Emmmm...! ('-ι_-｀)" "Dululululu~!"

As he was speaking, the Food Demon King was still thinking about what Yao Dad said.

Suddenly, the phone hidden in the Demon King's clothes rang. "Huh? It's Alice-chan calling!"

"Grandpa~! It's me! Alice-chan!"

The devil picked up the phone and answered it. Then he heard Alice's sweet voice calling him, "Grandpa~! Qingzheng-kun, Qingzheng-kun called me!

He said he wants us at Totsuki to give a share of the management rights of that [Fantasy Restaurant] to that Isshiki Hui!

"He called Alice and asked for the management rights of the Fantasy Restaurant. What do you think?"

The devil reached out and covered the microphone of his phone.

He glanced sideways at Yaodie and Kameda.

"No! This must be rejected! How can he possibly interfere with the operations of the Totsuki Group?"

—The person who said this was Kameda. As the person in charge of the group, he expressed his opposition without hesitation.

“I think it’s okay, since he said he wants us to give Isshiki Hui the management rights of [Fantasy Restaurant].

That means our food supply is still very safe.”

—The person who said this was naturally Yao Di. He looked at Kameda with a smile, his eyes full of scrutiny of his IQ.

"Oh! Okay! I get it! Alice-chan, go tell him that we'll discuss and decide before his food battle with Isshiki-kun is over!"

Then, the Food Demon did not give a definite answer immediately, but picked up the phone and postponed the matter to the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 145: Calm Paris

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Lord Mangi! They say at Totsuki Academy that Lord Kobayashi Kiyomasa seems to be trying to form a faction!

He has formed a club called [CFO] within Totsuki! They are recruiting Totsuki students to become members! Oh no! Sir, our supply of fantasy ingredients may be cut off! "

Meanwhile, at the WGO headquarters, in Nakiri Managi's office, Rantabi rushed in in a panic. As soon as she entered, she hurriedly reported to Nakiri Managi, "This information came from the servants of the Nakiri family whom we bribed. They reported that Chef Kobayashi of the Nakiri family has requested a quota for operating their [Fantasy Restaurant]. It seems that they are sure that their supply of fantasy ingredients will not be cut off!"

"Huh?! What? Chef Kobayashi decided to create his own faction?! But he confirmed that he would still cooperate with Totsuki Academy? Wait, Rantabi, didn't you receive any information from Chef Kobayashi?"

In the office, Nakiri Managi was lying in a big office chair in a very ungraceful manner, eating the snow-white flesh of the Golden Pear with a toothpick and dipping it in the jam of the White Apple. When she heard Rantab's report, she immediately stood up, knocking over countless office supplies in the process, leaving only the plate of Golden Pear flesh intact.

"Uh…I'm sorry, Master Mangi! Chef Kobayashi didn't send me a message."

Rantabi's face was filled with guilt. "So what should we do? Should we contact him?"

Nakiri Masaki "No! No way! We must not take the initiative to contact Chef Kobayashi! If he really rejects us, then we are finished!" Nakiri Masaki rejected her idea at once: "

Rantabhi, who else did you tell this news to?"

"Ah! I didn't tell anyone about this! I came to see you as soon as I received the news!"

At this point, Rantabi finally perked up a bit. "What should we do? Master Mangi, should we instruct the kitchen to stop researching high-star cuisine? What about the Blue Competition? Should we cancel it as well? That way, the ingredients we save might be able to last a little longer."

"No! No need! Things haven't gotten that bad yet!" However, there was no trace of panic on Nakiri Managi's face.

On the contrary, there seemed to be a hint of "joy" on her face: "Lantabi, go inform An and the others, we will immediately sell all the stocks and shares related to [WGO] and cash out and run away!

Let someone else take over this mess!

As for you, come home with me!

My dear father, you won't turn me away.

By then, all problems will be solved! When the Nakiri family becomes the world's culinary overlord, you will also be reused!"

: No! Master Mangi! Things haven’t gotten that bad yet! "

On the other hand, Lantabi saw that his boss had gone bad and actually wanted to cash out and run away.

Rantabi quickly intervened, "Master Mangi, Chef Kobayashi will be having a food battle with that person named Isshiki Hui at the [Contest Venue] in Totsuki tomorrow afternoon. It seems that the management rights to the [Fantasy Restaurant] he's asking for are for that person, Isshiki Hui!"

"Huh! I see! I thought Chef Kobayashi was completely captivated by Alice.

I plan to marry into the Nakiri family and marry Alice as the head chef of the restaurant!"

As soon as Rantabi finished speaking, Nakiri Managi breathed a sigh of relief: "The current situation is really great!

"Hurry! Rantabi, go get Ann, Kuragi, and Decora, and let's go to Japan together! To Totsuki Academy! To judge Chef Kobayashi's food battle!"

"Ah?! Lord An, Lord Kulagi, and Lord Decorah are all going to Japan?"

Rantabi was startled by Nakiri Managi's words. "But...but..., Master Managi, if that's the case, plus Instwal, Charmain, Ethel, Duranxiang and the others who are already in Japan, almost all of our WGO's second-class executive officers and above are now in Japan! What about Paris?"

"Huh? What? This side of Paris? Then call Grandma Margaret over to guard it!"

Nakiri Managi said with disdain, "As for our WGO businesses, let's just move them all to Japan! Isn't it just right that the Blue competition has already reached the finals? If more of our senior executives go, doesn't that just show how seriously we take this matter?"

"Oh...oh...yes..."

Rantabi was speechless and could only lower his head. "But...but, Paris has always been the forefront of world culinary development! Wouldn't it be a shame for us to give up like this?"

"Is this the forefront of world culinary development? Don't worry, it won't be anymore!"

Nakiri Managi was full of disdain for this statement: "Ever since Chef Kobayashi showed up and brought out the [Fantasy Ingredients], the position on the world culinary front has changed!

Before, it was simply because Chef Kobayashi had no ambition and only wanted to cooperate with Totsuki and us, and no one wanted the situation to change too much.

This allowed Paris to maintain its position as the core of world cuisine for a longer period of time.

But now, Chef Xiaolin wants to build his own power, so the core position has changed! "

"So, will the core of future world cuisine be in Japan? Is this... is this why you chose to move [WGO] to Japan?"

Rantabi asked with some fear. She felt that the tide of the times was rolling in, and Nakiri Managi was the sailor standing on the crest of the wave, controlling the direction of the wind and waves, while they [wgo] were just a small sampan drifting in the tide of the times.

"do not know!"

However, Nakiri Managi gave her an answer she didn't even know: "The core of the future is destined to be in the place chosen by Chef Kobayashi! And Japan is just his foothold while he is still young and inexperienced!"

However, even if it is just a temporary foothold, the dividends it can reap are enough to prevent it from falling too far behind in the future. We chose to move to Japan, at least we won't be killed by the tide of the times! "

"Ah?! This... is! Master Mangi!"

Rantabi nodded in conviction, retreated, and carried out Nakiri Managi's order.

So, on this seemingly ordinary day, without anyone noticing, the world-famous food organization [WGO] quietly moved its headquarters to a small island country in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

But at this moment, the world is still calm, completely unaware of the coming storm.

Chapter 146 Lin Qingzheng wants to hide his strength

"Hey! Kiyomasa-kun, you're being too much! Why are the kitchen knives you give to other people sparkling, but the one you give me is just this big, thick, black thing. Besides being a little heavier, it doesn't have any other effect? ​​If that doesn't work, you could at least give me a [Superalloy Black Knife] like Isshiki-senpai's!"

The next morning, in the kitchen of Polar Star Dormitory, Lin Qingzheng was preparing breakfast for everyone when Medicine King came to him to complain, holding the [Spiritual Sword] that Lin Qingzheng had given him.

"Hey?! You don't want the [Spirit Blade]? Are you sure?"

In the kitchen, Lin Qingzheng was experimenting with making a Japanese summer breakfast for everyone using kelp and tofu. He was also preparing for tomorrow afternoon's food battle.

Then he was blocked in the kitchen by the Medicine King and complained.

He complained that the kitchen knife Lin Qingzheng gave him was not good enough and not as cool as other people's [Fantasy Kitchen Utensils].

Lin Qingzheng, who had carefully selected the most valuable [Spiritual Sword] for the Medicine King, felt somewhat unhappy about this, and found the Medicine King's ignorance a bit ridiculous.

[Spirit Blade] is a kitchen utensil made from the bones of a shark called [Psychic Shark], which is captured at level 10 in the Prisoner World, mixed with [Black Iron].

This kind of kitchenware looks ordinary and is almost the same as an ordinary iron kitchen knife, but compared with other [Fantasy Kitchenware], its biggest feature lies in its [growth potential]!

Yes! It’s [growth]!

The [Spirit Blade] is a kitchen knife that can constantly absorb "experience" and change its form based on its owner's use, personality, and habits. Even in the world of food captives, a chef with exceptional knife skills, after his [Spirit Blade] reached its peak, managed to directly sever a dragon tooth kitchen knife made from a [Leolong] dragon tooth. Of course, if there's a flaw with this [Spirit Blade], it's that it takes too long to mature! For example, the [Spirit Blade] that severed Leolong's dragon tooth was said to have been used by three generations of that clan, allowing a [Spirit Blade] no higher than level 10 to sever the [Dragon Tooth Kitchen Knife.

When this [Spirit Blade] was just forged and had not yet grown, it was just a large, heavy, black and inconspicuous kitchen knife.

However, even so, this thing is still the only one in this world that can grow into a legendary kitchen utensil!

So, when Yao Wang just shamelessly held up the knife and said he wanted to exchange it, Lin Qingzheng took back the [Spiritual Knife] and took out another [Super Alloy Black Knife] that he had prepared for others and handed it to him.

"Oh yeah! That's great! I have some cool [Fantasy Kitchenware] too!"

Then, Yao Wang excitedly picked up the [Superalloy Black Knife] and ran to show off to others.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingzheng was holding the [Spiritual Sword] and watching his departing back, feeling a bit amused and helpless.

However, the Medicine King had missed his chance, so what could Lin Qingzheng say? He could only kick the knife back into his "pocket" and continue studying his Japanese breakfast.

—As for the food battle with Lin Qingzheng on the theme of "bean", Lin Qingzheng postponed it to a later time.

Speaking of which, when you want to study the cuisine of a country/region, dinner is definitely the culinary masterpiece, but if you want to get started, breakfast is definitely the best choice.

—As for lunch, this kind of food that is just a casual meal in most civilizations is not even as valuable for research as afternoon tea.

In Japan, breakfast is a truly wonderful thing.

First of all, you won’t find breakfast shops outside in Japan.

Before ten o'clock, the only restaurants open in Japan are Western fast food restaurants such as Kaifengcai, McDonald's, and Burger King.

—Because in Japan, most families have housewives who make breakfast. —So, in Japan, the dishes with the strongest "mother's taste" are usually breakfast.

Among Japanese breakfasts, the most essential things are probably only three items.

【Rice】, 【side dishes】, 【miso soup】.

[Rice] There is nothing much to say. The Japanese love to eat rice the most. They even eat fried dumplings with a bowl of rice.

[Miso Soup] There is actually nothing much to say about this thing. It is just kelp + firm tofu, white miso/red miso, and some bonito flakes for flavoring. Boil the water and you will have a bowl of miso soup that the Japanese are obsessed with.

So, after eliminating the two insignificant things, in the end, the only thing left that can really be used to create something new is the [side dish].

The side dishes that Japanese people eat for breakfast generally include [squid] in spring and [lotus root]/[eel] in summer.

In autumn, we eat [saury], and in winter, we eat [mushrooms], [radishes], [carp] and the like.

Generally speaking, apart from the seasonality developed to save money, the main requirements of Japanese breakfast are two points: [salty] and [fresh].

[Salty] This is easy to understand. In order to go well with rice, Japanese people only have a little bit of side dishes for breakfast. If it is not salty enough, they will not be able to finish the rice for breakfast.

As for "freshness", that is the real pain point of Japanese cuisine.

The Japanese are a nation that loves fresh food extremely. For the sake of fresh food, they can even eat raw fish and raw meat, and even risk death to eat puffer fish liver.

So, after figuring this out, Lin Qingzheng figured out what dish he should cook during the food battle.

First, it must be seasonal, and second, it must be fresh.

The restriction of less than 100 points basically limits the role of fantasy ingredients to an auxiliary position.

As long as Lin Qingzheng still has some dignity, he will not be able to use high-level fantasy ingredients such as [Ma Ma Eel]/[Earth Core Fire Green Lotus Lotus Root] to bully others.

Then we can only rely on hard power and ordinary ingredients to compete!

After washing the newly delivered lotus root, Lin Qingzheng took out the [Qian De Kitchen Knife] from his pocket. With a flash of the knife, the lotus root was peeled and chopped into even-sized cubes. Then he blanched it, cooked it, and cooled it. He then put [Frying Chili] and [Tuna Soybean Oil] into the pot and started to stir-fry the chili oil.

After the chili oil is fried, add the [Beef Bean Paste] and [Colorful Crystal Salt] from [Beef Bean Paste Tiger].

When everything is ready, pour the diced lotus root into the pot.

"Boom!"

Under the effect of the food energy, a muffled "boom" sound was heard, and a bowl of [Spicy Diced Lotus Root] that triggered a "delicious explosion" was completed!

Tsk! No, the level is too high! It doesn't fit my image! I need to continue hiding my identity and accumulate experience!

If I could make a six-star dish with ordinary ingredients, why would I hide my balls?!

Then, Lin Qingzheng poured the bowl of [Spicy Diced Lotus Root], which was enough to drive all the gourmets in the world crazy, into the trash can.

No, no, we can't do that! We have to replace both the [Fiery Chili] and [Tuna Soybean Oil]!

Then, Lin Qingzheng, who had managed to make a two-star dish even without the fantasy ingredients, collapsed.
