Food Wars: Taste Buds Reversal

036. Fruit Tower [Update 1]

As a luxury hotel ranked high in the Totsuki Resort, the chef is naturally top-notch.

However, there are many guests who make reservations every day, and even the head chef cannot cook every dish himself. Therefore, most of the time he just checks the food. Only when facing very important guests will the head chef cook every dish himself.

And today, Totsuki Palace seems to have welcomed an"uninvited guest".’

"The strawberries used in this fruit tart are probably not fresh strawberries at their best tasting period, right? Although they are only about two or three hours old, most people can't taste the difference in flavor, but as a top-notch hotel, you actually serve such inferior ingredients. Are you expressing dissatisfaction with your guests?"

——Erina Nakiri, the granddaughter of Totsuki Academy's general commander Senzaemon Nakiri, possesses the"God's Tongue" and has been famous in the food tasting world since childhood. Cooks who are labeled as"incompetent" by her will no longer have a place in the culinary world.

Originally, she ordered this fruit tart dish on a whim.

Even Erina herself did not expect that such a mistake would occur in a hotel like Totsuki Rikyu.

Indeed, if it were an ordinary small restaurant, the ingredients would have passed their best tasting period.

Ordinary guests would not be able to taste the difference, nor would they have such high expectations for a small restaurant.

As long as the ingredients themselves were not rotten, there would be no problem.

But this was not a small restaurant.

In addition, Erina's divine tongue could identify any defect in the dish at a glance, and even very subtle differences could be infinitely magnified.

Especially after eating Shiraki's dishes recently, the"divine tongue" was getting more and more picky about dishes.

This kind of small mistake might have been a little difficult for Erina to find in the past, but for her now, the strawberries in this dish were like a very harmonious piece of music in which an abnormal tone suddenly appeared, and it was difficult to ignore it.

The lobby manager was sweating in front of Erina at this time, smiling apologetically while asking the people below to check the ingredients. As a result, the results reported by the people below almost made him faint!

"Mr. Suzuki, we've just checked the kitchen, and it seems... it seems that a kitchen helper mixed up the fresh strawberries and the discarded strawberries when delivering discarded ingredients. So the strawberries we use in our fruit tart today are past their best tasting period... but only two hours have passed, and our chef didn't notice the problem."

Hearing this result, the manager felt dizzy.

He had hoped that Erina was wrong, but it turned out that there was a problem on their side.

This was a big problem.

If the fact that their hotel used inferior ingredients to entertain guests was exposed, the reputation of the entire hotel would plummet.

Moreover, this matter was discovered by Erina Nakiri who possessed the Divine Tongue.

In this way, the outside world would not doubt the authenticity of this matter at all.

This is definitely a big crisis for the hotel!

It has to be said that the manager here is indeed unlucky, because it is impossible for a normal person to notice the difference in freshness between strawberries that have been stored for only one or two hours. Even the chefs in the kitchen did not notice this when they were cooking. But they met Erina Nakiri who possessed the Divine Tongue, so such a thing that no one should have been able to discover was suddenly exposed.

"Call the chef over here."

Manager Suzuki thought about it.

If this matter is not handled well today, Totsuki Palace will appear on the headlines of major newspapers tomorrow.

He should quickly call the chef in charge of the kitchen and try to explain the matter.

After all, this is Totsuki Resort.

I hope Erina can let them go for the sake of Totsuki Academy.

As for the onlookers, although there are not many people in the restaurant now, there are definitely not a few, and each of them is a well-known figure in the upper class.

The manager dare not directly order them to be expelled, and can only hope that this matter can be resolved amicably today.

"Also, call the assistant chef who made the mistake in the ingredients over here. He made such a serious mistake. We at Totsuki Palace don't need such an employee!"

Manager Suzuki's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly thought of the assistant chef who was the culprit. He couldn't help but feel angry, but on the surface he still looked humble and respectful, and smiled at Erina,"Ms. Erina, please wait here for a moment. We at Totsuki Palace will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

I'm asking for support for my new book, I'm asking for collections, I'm asking for flowers, I'm asking for evaluation votes, I'm asking for monthly votes, all kinds of requests~

PS: Regarding the strength of the protagonist, there's no need to worry about that.

He's basically invincible in this article.

He's all about pretending to be awesome.

He's proficient in all kinds of skills.

The various dishes in the later stages of Food Wars are definitely new versions that have never been seen before.

As for updates, there are still two more updates to go.

The author plans to release them all before the book is put on the shelves.

This book will probably be on the shelves before the 24th, and there will be a wave of updates by then.
