Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

However, he was a little puzzled as to why Ximen Yan hadn't brought any ingredients with him this time.

"I'm going to trade these ingredients."

As Ximen Yan spoke, he took out a portion of each of the ingredients he had prepared for the transaction from his food storage space and placed them on the table in front of the two of them.

Looking at the suddenly appearing almond cabbage, strawberry rice, golden rice, corn on the cob, taro, rockfish and chives...

Senzaemon Nakiri paused for a moment, then looked at Nishimon Yan.

He rubbed his eyes, looked at the ingredients again, and then at Ximen Yan.

"Am I seeing things?"

As he spoke, Senzaemon Nakiri reached out and picked up an almond cabbage.

The weighty feel of it clearly indicates that it's a real product!

"Ximen Yan, you can even do magic tricks?"

Senzaemon Nakiri forced a smile and said.

But even magic tricks don't seem to be performed like this!

All these things together feel bigger than a simenyan (a type of ailment).

"This is not magic."

Ximen Yan smiled and took out the head of Gerald, the strange bird he had cut off earlier.

Although there is only one, it is larger than an adult.

Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Gerard's bird head, which was taken out by Simon.

His expression faltered slightly, but after a moment, Senzaemon Nakiri's composure returned.

In fact, Senzaemon Nakiri felt a very strong pressure from the bird's head.

This is definitely not an ordinary creature; it is absolutely a legendary creature.

Let alone humans, even lions and tigers would be food in front of a creature with this bird's head.

Ximen Yan was able to retrieve the head of this legendary creature and also possessed the ability to store it.

If they really wanted to do something, they probably would have done it already.

So he doesn't need to worry about anything, yeah right.

Senzaemon Nakiri was merely forcing himself to calm down, a kind of psychological suggestion.

Seeing the change in Senzaemon Nakiri, Ximen Yan's expression also became slightly more serious.

Although Senzaemon Nakiri is not very strong, his mentality is not to be underestimated.

Honestly, if he were an ordinary person, he would probably have panicked and even run away in this situation!

"Let's continue discussing the deal."

Nakiri Senzaemon spoke.

Although I am very curious about the wonders of silicosis.

However, Senzaemon Nakiri forced himself not to investigate.

At this point, the best approach is naturally to shift your focus.

"Of course, I'm here to trade ingredients."

Ximen Yan nodded.

He was genuinely afraid of scaring people away.

"Let me introduce these ingredients first."

"This is almond cabbage, a delicious combination of almonds and cabbage, but it's a bit high in calories."

"Strawberry rice, rice that looks like strawberries, is soft, sticky and sweet."

"Golden Rice, golden rice, has a rich, golden flavor."

"The corn with corn kernels has the texture of high-grade beef."

"Taro has a very sticky skin, which takes a lot of time to peel."

"The stone-frozen fish and chives need to be cut hundreds of times to be cut into pieces."

"..."

Senzaemon Nakiri looked at the ingredients in front of him with a serious expression.

These were ingredients he had never even heard of before!

As expected, Ximen Yan had a very big secret.

"What about this?"

Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Gerard's bird head, the last strange bird that Simon Yan had pulled out.

"Gerald the Bird, a strange bird with five heads."

"As for the taste, it certainly won't be bad."

Ximen Yan answered very seriously.

He had personally tasted all the ingredients mentioned earlier.

However, Gerald the Strange Bird has not yet tasted it.

Therefore, Ximenyan couldn't describe exactly what it tasted like.

"Gerald, the monstrous bird with five heads?"

Senzaemon Nakiri glanced at the bird's head, which was larger than an adult.

I feel a chill run down my spine.

There are four more on such a big bird's head.

Just what kind of terrifying being is this so-called monstrous bird, Gerard?

Chapter 46 The Unbelievable Price for Senzaemon Nakiri

Senzaemon Nakiri kept staring at Gerald's bird head.

Ximen Yan thought for a moment and then put it away.

Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Nishimon Yan.

"I only have one Gerald the Bird, so I have no intention of selling it."

Ximen Yan said with a calm expression.

Senzaemon Nakiri nodded.

I wasn't too surprised by this.

Previously, when Ximen Yan brought some ingredients to Nakiri Erina to cook, he wanted to buy those ingredients from Ximen Yan.

After all, many of the ingredients that Ximen Yan brought out at that time had very unique flavors.

However, Ximen Yan refused, saying he wanted to eat it himself.

"I wonder how much of the other ingredients you can provide, Mr. Ximen Yan, and what the price will be."

Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Nishimon and asked.

After all, judging from Ximen Yan's description, these ingredients all seem to be quite unusual!

"Commander-in-Chief Nakiri, you can try it first before we talk about anything else."

"This almond cabbage, corn on the cob, banana cucumber... can all be eaten directly."

Ximen Yan said with a smile.

After all, you have to let someone inspect the goods before you can talk about the price.

Senzaemon Nakiri hesitated for a moment.

He then put the almond cabbage he had just picked up to his mouth and took a bite.

Suddenly, a burst of sweet almond flavor mixed with the refreshing taste of cabbage exploded in my mouth.

The two flavors blend together perfectly, making you want to keep eating.

This is even more delicious than Ximenyan described!

After finishing a head of almond cabbage, Senzaemon Nakiri picked up a corn cob.

Premium beef has a subtle sweetness from corn, making it equally delicious.

Banana cucumber has the soft, sweet taste of bananas and the refreshing texture of cucumbers...

Senzaemon Nakiri stopped eating when he could eat no more.

"What a truly unique ingredient!"

Senzaemon Nakiri couldn't help but sigh.

These ingredients completely overturned his previous understanding of ingredients.

For example, almond cabbage seems to be naturally meant to taste like this.

Even the most skilled chef cannot replicate this flavor using almonds and cabbage.

……

Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Simon with a solemn expression.

These ingredients are all very delicious.

Even Senzaemon Nakiri believes it's because of the unique flavor of these ingredients.

If it were made into a dish, even his daughter, Nakiri Managi, would definitely be able to eat it.

Therefore, he absolutely had to buy these ingredients.

"A head of almond cabbage costs 200 yen, strawberry rice costs 1000 yen per kilogram, and golden rice costs 300 yen per kilogram..."

“I can basically provide more than a ton of these ingredients.”

Ximen Yan stated his offer.

Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Yan Ximen with some disbelief.

It's certainly not because the price is too high, but because it's too cheap.

It was so cheap that even he found it hard to believe.

"Isn't this price a bit too cheap?"

Senzaemon Nakiri couldn't help but say.

After all, he really couldn't believe the price!

Ximen Yan glanced at Nakiri Senzaemon with a hint of helplessness.

It seems like it was during their first transaction...

Senzaemon Nakiri felt that his ingredients were being sold too cheaply! He was even worried that Senzaemon would be taken advantage of!

It's quite rare to see a buyer worrying that the seller is losing out or selling too cheaply!

"In fact, there is no problem with this price."

Ximen Yan looked at Nakiri Senzaemon very seriously and said.

He doubled the price he paid for it from the Food Research Institute.

Therefore, the notion of getting a bargain or being taken advantage of is clearly unfounded.

Even though it's a monopoly business, Ximen Yan felt that even if he increased the price tenfold or a hundredfold, Senzaemon Nakiri would agree without hesitation.

However, Ximen Yan now seems to have become somewhat indifferent to money.

For Ximen Yan, making money is actually very easy, so there's no need for him to be too ruthless.

Needless to say, he already has a 100% profit margin, what more could he want?
