Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

Hisako sighed.

"no way."

"This kind of fantastical ingredient is really tempting."

Erina's eyes also showed a hint of disappointment, but there was an even more terrifying truth before her eyes:

Ever since she encountered and tasted the frightening apple, she has gradually found dishes made from ordinary ingredients to be tasteless!

She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she could never eat her dream ingredients again...

How painful that would be!

"Ye Chen?"

I really want to find you soon!

Finally, Erina's bright eyes deepened, and she murmured softly.

……

The night is getting dark.

At the Nordic Molecular Gastronomy Restaurant Association, headquarters.

In a brightly lit room, Erina's cousin Alice was repeatedly pounding her fists on a pillow, yelling, "Ye Chen, you bastard, you jerk, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I hate you so much..."

After smashing things until the very end, perhaps she was exhausted, or perhaps she had vented her anger, she simply closed her eyes and lay down on the bed.

Thoughts.

They began to flutter.

Scenes from that technical exchange meeting replay in my mind, one after another.

Finally, she sighed softly, "Where exactly is the end of molecular gastronomy? That Ye Chen really shouldn't have explained it to me properly."

"Hey!"

Why did I bring him up again?

Alice touched her burning cheeks and sighed, "Damn it."

"Ever since I met him, I feel like I've started to act strangely!"

……

"Creak" sound.

The door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

The crisp sound of footsteps approached her dormitory at a leisurely pace.

Looking up, Alice saw a graceful Nordic noblewoman, with an innate elegance, approaching her.

Her silvery, shimmering hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, gleaming softly under the light, like the unmelting ice and snow of the Arctic, pure and mysterious.

Face.

Exquisite and pretty.

Her skin was fair and delicate.

At this moment, she was wearing an extremely gorgeous evening gown.

This dress is made of the finest silk fabric, which is very soft and fits her body curves perfectly.

It perfectly showcased her full yet well-proportioned figure.

Simultaneously.

In terms of temperament, she appears even more extraordinary and refined.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was a fairy who fell from the sky!

And this noblewoman was Alice's mother:

Leonora.

Chapter 40 Dinner Together

"mom!"

Why do you always forget to knock?

Alice pouted and said.

"Alice, do you still have any privacy in front of me?" Leonora asked with a smile, sitting on the edge of the bed and covering her mouth.

Upon hearing this, Alice's lips twitched a few times: "I'm not a three-year-old anymore, so Mom, can you please show me a little more respect in the future?"

"alright."

"It's all Mom's fault. I promise I'll knock before coming in next time."

"Leonora," she said apologetically.

……

Subsequently.

Leonora turned her head slightly and carefully examined her daughter Alice.

Looking at her no longer childish face, her watery eyes, and the aura she had cultivated through hardship, she couldn't help but feel comforted, but also heartbroken.

unconsciously.

Alice has grown so much!

Looking back on her 10 years in Denmark, she knows how much hardship she endured to achieve such success.

Leonora couldn't help but reach out and hold Alice's small hand, murmuring, "Are you still upset about what happened today?"

"Huh? What are you angry about?"

Alice paused for a moment, then realized what she meant and said, "That bastard Ye Chen..."

"Yes, that's him. He didn't even have a single impressive project at the technical exchange meeting, yet he dared to boast in front of me. I can't be bothered to lower myself to his level, he's just a piece of trash who only knows how to talk big!"

Leonora, seeing Alice gritting her teeth in anger, replied softly, "You still say no? You practically have your anger written all over your face."

"Where is it?"

"I really...I'm not angry anymore!"

Alice blushed and said guiltily.

Leonora lowered her hand and rolled her eyes at her: "You're my daughter, what thoughts could escape my discerning eye?"

Seeing her mother like this, Alice pushed herself up and hugged the beautiful woman's neck from behind, saying, "I'm sorry, but you know, Mom, that Ye Chen is really wicked!"

"When in my entire life have I ever suffered such injustice?"

Leonora patted Alice's little hand, sighed, and replied, "But isn't this a technical exchange meeting?"

"When my mother invited the food club members, she hoped that both sides could effectively communicate, learn, and discuss different culinary concepts and techniques, so that everyone could grow together in such an atmosphere!"

"Yes."

"I admit."

"Ye Chen really showed no mercy, making you lose face at the exchange meeting."

"But have you ever considered that it is precisely because of his unique insights that we understand the current problems of molecular gastronomy?"

Alice finally fell silent.

She knew, of course, that anyone respected by Chairman Bougus was no ordinary person.

"Okay, don't be too angry."

Leonora sighed, then continued, "As far as I know, Bougus and the others have all returned to France one after another after the exchange meeting ended!"

"Only Ye Chen remains in Northern Europe, seemingly intending to travel around here for a while."

"Ugh?"

Alice was surprised: "He hasn't left yet?"

Leonora nodded: "He's a man we should get to know better, so I'd like to take this opportunity to invite him to dinner at headquarters tonight."

"You'd better get ready quickly, and remember to wear something nice for dinner with him tonight."

"what?"

"Mom, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Upon hearing this, Alice was both surprised and delighted, so she stood up and ran to change her clothes.

Seeing her daughter's flustered figure, a complex light flashed in Leonora's eyes.

……

nightfall.

It has finally arrived.
