Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

“Emm…I don’t know, but you can try!”

After hearing Yu Ji's words, Lin Qingzheng raised an eyebrow. "How about this? I'll hand over the pigpen and chicken coop in the backyard of the farm to you. Go talk to Yu Mei-chan, and you'll be in charge of our [CFO]'s breeding and farming work from now on! Remember, you must try more and summarize more! I look forward to you cultivating more and newer fantasy ingredients!"

"Yeah! Okay! Don't worry!"

Yuji looked very happy and happily accepted Lin Qingzheng's appointment.

"Alright! Problem solved! You guys go do your thing! I'll get back to mine!"

After seeing that Ah Youji's problem was solved, Lin Qingzheng was very happy.

He touched the head of [Pig, Cow, Bird] Hengheng, gave up the idea of ​​killing it and eating it right away, stood up, returned to the kitchen, and continued to study [Golden Smile].

emm...First of all, if you want to make steamed bun filling, too much fat may affect the taste of the bun in the final state.

So? Using Bison beef? No, too lean, and it'll get stuck in your teeth.

Cabbage and shiitake mushrooms can be replaced with [Almond Cabbage] and [Crab-flavored Matsutake].

But what about the vermicelli in the [Stir-fried Beef and Mushroom Vermicelli]? That vermicelli is the key to the laughter in the [Golden Smile]!

Emmm... As for vermicelli, it is usually made with potatoes or sweet potatoes.

And in the world of food prisoners, potatoes are a similar ingredient...

Poisonous potatoes?! No, it'll kill you.

[Potato Bomb]?? The starch in this type of potato explodes, making it quite difficult to deal with.

So, potato ingredients?

There doesn't seem to be any potatoes in the food world!

This is a bit troublesome.

Lin Qingzheng grabbed his chin helplessly.

——On the other side, in the commander-in-chief’s office——

"Huh?! What? Professor Luo has already exchanged a large amount of fantasy flour and left the academy?!"

In the commander-in-chief's office, the Foodie King's brow furrowed into a knot: "So where is he now?"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, he seems to have gone to the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo!"

"The Imperial Hotel?! The delegation from China is staying there too, right?"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief, Liu Chensu, a member of the Chinese delegation, just won the championship of the blue competition! He received ten kilograms of fantasy ingredients!"

"[Liu Chensu] is here too, and they've all exchanged for fantasy ingredients. Does that mean his intention is to return to China?!"

——In the conference room of the Chinese delegation in the Empire State Building in Tokyo——

"Everyone, how are you? This is the complete version of the fantasy ingredient [Ice Wheat] that I exchanged from [Totsuki Academy]. And this, this is the highest-grade seasoning from Japan [Colorful Crystal Salt].

I bought these good things by using a recipe book called "Golden Smile".

What do you think? My contribution to our delegation is no less than that of some people, right?

Dozens of people were gathered in a room for a meeting, and in the center of the room, Uncle Luo Gan was holding an ear of [Ice Wheat] in his hand, proudly holding it up high to show others.

"Oh! Uncle Luo Gan, you're amazing! You actually managed to get all the fantasy ingredients! I admit defeat. This time, you're the one who did the most!"

Just as Luo Gan was proudly holding the [Ice Wheat], a handsome young man with blue hair, red clothes and black old-fashioned cloth shoes bowed his head to Luo Gan and sincerely expressed his admiration: "Compared to you, the little bit of food I won is only enough to send to the research institute to study the composition of these things."

Chapter 173 Fantasy Restaurant Opens

"It doesn't matter what ingredients the Chinese took away. Ten kilograms is only enough for them to conduct research and testing on the fantasy ingredients!"

Still in the commander-in-chief's office, Nakiri Senzaemon's face was filled with seriousness. "How's the situation at the Fantasy Restaurant? Kikuchi Enka's Harukatei should be open for business now, right?"

"Yes! It's indeed open for business! The scene is very popular, and the daily turnover has reached 5 million!"

The man standing in front of him lowered his head: "But...but among these sales, the vast majority are sales from dishes made with fantasy ingredients. As a result, the proportion of dishes made with ordinary ingredients is too low, and the net profit of Fantasy Restaurant is too low!"

“Don’t be afraid of low profits now!”

The Foodie King's mouth curled up into a cruel sneer: "People need to eat every day. Now that fantasy ingredients have just appeared, people are curious and naturally choose fantasy ingredients, which accounts for the vast majority.

As time goes by, the market will gradually stabilize. By then, whoever can attract more customers during this period will be able to capture the largest share!"

"Ah?! So... what do you mean?"

The man looked up in surprise, gazing at the tall Senzaemon.

"What do I mean? Is that even necessary? The [Totsuki Academy Restaurant] and [Totsuki Resort] are officially starting to serve dishes made with fantasy ingredients!"

The Food Demon King waved his hand vigorously: "Now, it's time for me to attack! All forces attack!"

——In Tokyo, in the ancient and quaint mansion of Ki no Kuni——

"Report! Father, Totsuki's Junkotei restaurant is booming today! On just the first day, sales have reached 500 million yen!"

At the big table for the family gathering, the current head of the Jizhiguo family, Jizhiguo Shengman, sat at the top seat. In front of him, the second generation leader of the family, Jizhiguo Ningning's father, Jizhiguo Qingren, knelt in front of him and reported to him about the grand opening of [Chunguo Pavilion] today.

"Ah... 500 million yuan in sales in just one day? That's truly astonishing! Qingren, I remember that our Jizhi country's total revenue last year was less than 100 billion, right?"

"Yes! Father, to be exact, the total revenue of Jizhi Country last year was 879 billion!"

This time, the person who spoke was no longer Ji Zhiguo Qingren, but his second brother, Ji Zhiguo Qingde.

"Yeah! Not bad!"

Ki no Kuni nodded: "But, the Nakiri family's restaurant has a daily revenue of 5 million, which is... that's..."

"One hundred and eighty-two and a half billion! Father!"

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out for a while, Kiyomizu Kiyomizu reminded him.

"Yes! 1825 billion!"

The old man nodded, his wrinkled face full of sighs: "And I heard that they are going to open two more restaurants like this in Yuanyue Academy and Yuanyue Resort.

"Alas! Our Yang family is getting further and further behind the Li family!"

"Report to Father! Regarding the fantasy ingredients, the child of the Isshiki family, Isshiki Hui, has also obtained the purchase qualification!"

Seeing his father sighing, Ji Zhiguo Qingren reminded him, "And now, that child has asked his uncle to contact us, saying that he wants to fulfill his engagement with Ningning in advance and marry into our Ji Zhiguo family!"

"Oh?! The Isshiki family? Oh~! That kid from the Lai family! I remember him being the Lai family's youngest son. He couldn't inherit the family business, so he was sent to our Yang family for training!"

The old man sat there, smiling as he took a sip of tea, a gloating expression on his face: "Ha! Interesting, the Lai family is really funny.

In this generation, our Yang family only gave birth to a girl, but the Lai family gave birth to a dragon, a tiger and a dog.

As a result, a dragon was sent back to the country, and a tiger was sent to our home.

In the end, only a dog was left to guard the house! Moreover, the tiger and the dog were ready to fight for the family property!

"Cuckoo..."

The old man finished his cup of tea and slammed his hand on the table. "Promise him! Our Yang family will take the spot for the fantasy ingredient!"

"Ah?! This... is Father. Our country of Ki and the Isshiki family have always been on good terms...!"

Faced with his father's decision, Kizhiguo Qingren looked a little panicked: "Isn't this a bad idea? Will it damage the harmony between our two families?"

"Brother! How can you say that?! Isshiki Hui was trained by our country! Wasn't it the Isshiki family themselves who suggested sending him to our family to marry into our family? Now that he's grown up and knows how to repay his kindness, you're still worried about the harmony between the two families! That's money! Hundreds of millions, hundreds of billions of money!

"Brother! Is this the time to worry about whether we're on good terms or not?"

Next to Kiyomizu Kiyonori, Kiyomizu Kiyonori said with some dissatisfaction, "What's more, even father has agreed to this matter! Don't you think, big brother, that you can be wiser than father?"

"No! How dare I! Father, please forgive me! It's my fault!"

After being "pointed" by his younger brother, Kiyomizu Kiyomi's forehead broke out in sweat, and he quickly fell to the ground to apologize to his father.

"Muhahahaha! It's okay! It's okay! Qingren, you're right. This matter certainly can't damage the harmony between the Yang and Lai families!"

Facing his son's admonition, Ji Zhiguo Shengman did not show any annoyance at all, but laughed happily: "So, the dog of the Lai family is no longer suitable to be the next head of their family.

Qingren, go ask Lai Hui, the boy we in the Yang family are planning to support as the next head of the Lai family, if he's willing to have his first son with Ningning be named Ji Zhiguo!

"Yes! Father!"

Now, Kiyomizu Kiyohime was speechless. His father was indeed very thoughtful! Yes, if the Isshiki family and Kiyomizu merged, wouldn't the two families avoid damaging each other's relationship?

——Evening, Pole Star Dormitory Canteen——

“Cuckoo…Cuckoo…! Cuckoo…!”

In the evening, strange and funny laughter filled the cafeteria of Polar Star Dormitory. Everyone was holding golden fried buns in their hands, laughing loudly, and each of them had a strange look on their face.

"Hey Qingzheng! How did you make this thing?! Professor Luo only made it once! You actually copied it?!"

Inside the cafeteria, holding the still-laughing bun in his hand, Medicine King looked at Lin Qingzheng with a strange expression: "And, if I'm not mistaken, these buns are made with [Fengcao Flour] and [Tuna Soybean Oil]?! You've actually turned it into a fantasy ingredient?!"

"No, the president hasn't turned it into a complete fantasy ingredient yet!"

The person who said this was Yi Se Hui.

ps: The third update you asked for.

Chapter 174 Eight-star Golden Smile

"Hmm! The [Feng Cao Flour] isn't fermented enough! The [Tuna Soybean Oil] in the fried buns is too strong! The Cinderella beef filling is too fatty! And they used regular vermicelli, which affects the taste!"

Picking up a [Golden Laugh], the pink-haired BT said as he ate it, "Based on the star rating of cuisine, the taste is only around three stars, but under the influence of this strange laugh, it can make people feel happy after eating it, and they laugh along with this strange laugh.

President, are you researching the secret of this [Golden Smile]?"

"Yes! According to Professor Luo, this thing is called [Food Intention], a technique that can give food a certain emotion or artistic conception."

Lin Qingzheng slowly ate the [Golden Smile] he had made himself, but the corners of his mouth did not show any sign of bending.

He has been studying this thing for a whole afternoon. This is the best result Lin Qingzheng has come up with so far in terms of the balance between taste and food appeal.

Other options either taste better but the funny feeling of eating is weakened.

Otherwise, the [Food Intention] is stronger than before, but the taste has deteriorated significantly. — Using fantasy ingredients doesn't even make it into the ranks of star-level cuisine.

All in all, Lin Qingzheng felt this way about this situation: It's so difficult! Maybe I need to borrow help from others.

"Emm, this is the situation...!"

Therefore, Lin Qingzheng hesitated for a moment before telling Isshiki Hui about the difficulties he encountered: "Can you help me think about this situation?"

"Emm...you mean to say that this [Food Intention] thing is related to your strength improvement?!"

At first, facing Lin Qingzheng's words, Isshiki Hui was a little unconvinced. But when he heard Lin Qingzheng say that this [Food Intention] was related to his strength progress, the pink-haired BT's face regained its solemnity, frowned, and looked apologetic: "It sounds like this so-called [Food Intention] has a lot in common with the [Feast] technique passed down in our Isshiki family.

But unfortunately, President, I just received a call from Ki no Kuni. For the next period of time, at least a month, I may have to stay in Osaka, so..."

He nodded apologetically to Lin Qingzheng and said, "You can try researching with ordinary ingredients first. After all, while the flavor variations and complexity of ordinary ingredients aren't as good as those of fantasy ingredients, when it comes to cultivating this [Food Intention], the two have the same weight! Why don't you master the [Food Intention] of ordinary ingredients first, and then try fantasy ingredients!"

"Yeah! Okay! I understand!"

Lin Qingzheng felt very benefited from Isshiki Hui's suggestion and nodded to show that he understood.

Just at this moment, he had finished eating the [Golden Smile] in his hand, so Lin Qingzheng simply stood up, patted his clothes, and went to the kitchen.

——A month and a half later——

"Gee, gee, gee!"

"Mo~...! Fried buns again? Didn't I tell you not to bring me anything like that again?"

Walking on the path in Tokyo's Okubo Park, Alice held a "Golden Smile" in a paper bag in her hand. With just a light pinch, the cooled bun made a laughing sound.

However, facing this beautiful and fun snack, Alice's face did not show any joy. Instead, she looked at him calmly and said in a calm tone, "What's the filling this time?"

“Beef vermicelli!”

Holding his girlfriend's hand, Lin Qingzheng winked at her and said with some pride.

"Beef vermicelli? Isn't that the original recipe for the Golden Smile?"

When Alice heard it was beef vermicelli, she was a little surprised: "You have already mastered the fantasy version of [Golden Smile]!"

"Yes!"

Lin Qingzheng grinned happily, "After a month and a half, 45 days, and a total of 135 experiments, I have mastered all the secrets of the [Golden Smile]!"

"Great! I can finally stop eating these laughing fried buns!"
