The story begins in Food Wars, when Alice took him home.

"What a hassle! Wait, save one for me!"

Kurokiba Ryo was about to get angry when he missed with his chopsticks, but then he realized that all the chefs in the kitchen were gathered in front of the steamer, greedily eyeing the fish and meat shumai inside. This made him rush to the steamer with his chopsticks in hand.

Given his size, he definitely wouldn't have been able to get any, but everyone was concerned about him being the head chef, so they suppressed their desires and took two out of the steamer to give to him.

Kurokiba Ryo picked up a fish shumai with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, closing his eyes to savor the flavor.

The next moment, his world seemed to be enveloped by a warm and wonderful power.

The fish melts on your tongue, like the gentle caress of the ocean, both refreshing and profound, with a subtle salty and sweet flavor. It's the taste of the sea, the start of freedom and dreams!

As he chewed, Kurokiba Ryo began to see a series of illusions, as if he were standing on a giant pirate ship.

Waves lapped against the hull of the pirate ship, the sea breeze, carrying a slightly salty scent, brushed against our faces, and seagulls circled overhead, emitting clear cries.

"Men, charge with me!"

In this vast sea, he transformed into a pirate captain, wielding a long sword and piloting his own pirate ship.

"Yes, Captain!"

"Leave that big fish behind!"

The kitchen helpers around him transformed into sailors on a pirate ship. At this moment, they stood in two rows and pulled the anchor with all their might. As the sea in front of them swayed, a huge halibut more than ten meters long leaped out of the sea.

Huge harvest!

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction welled up from the depths of his heart. Kurokiba Ryo opened his eyes and exchanged glances with the chefs around him, all of whom saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Were they eating cooked food? Why would I see something like that?

When the giant halibut was caught and brought aboard, its heavy weight was so real that it didn't look fake in any way!

"Is this fish shumai? Did you make it?"

Looking at the empty steamer in front of him, with not a single shumai left, and glancing at Alice Nakiri not far away, Kurokiba Ryo opened his mouth wide and it took him a long time to accept the fact.

"That's right, this is fish shumai. I wonder if my cooking satisfies you? How does it compare to your cod broth ramen!?"

Standing beside Bai Yuan, Nakiri Alice said smugly, "He looked down on me before, but now he's been thoroughly humiliated!"

She heard Bai Yuan's words clearly. Given the obvious flaws in the dish, the outcome had already been a death sentence!

"No need to compete! This dish is better than mine, I admit that. Let's have another competition tomorrow, and I'll definitely beat you this time!"

Looking at the smug girl in front of him, Kurokiba Ryo clenched his fists and said with a face full of resentment, "This is truly a case of dying before even getting started!"

"You can compete as many times as you want! But not tomorrow, how about next week?"

Thinking about learning cooking from Shiro Awakening, Alice Nakiri refused Ryo Kurokiba's offer. She thought that one competition was enough, and too many would be boring. She would rather spend that time with Shiro Awakening.

Watching Bai Yuan leisurely eating shumai beside her, Alice Nakiri's lips curled up slightly. She had finally made a dish that satisfied him.

"Next week? What day of the week exactly? Give me a precise number!"

Kurokiba Ryo's eyes burned with fire; he was clearly very bothered by this defeat and refused to allow himself to be defeated by such a little girl.

"What day of the week..."

"How about this, every Saturday morning from now on, I'll bring Alice over to compete with you. You provide the ingredients, and you decide the theme, okay?"

"Okay! Let's decide on that!"

"Eh…"

Seeing that Alice Nakiri's lips were slightly pouting, as if she was a little impatient, Bai Yuan patted her little head to comfort her, and then looked at Kurokiba Ryo and said.

He noticed that Alice had become too relaxed lately, which was not conducive to improving her cooking skills, so he decided to find her a few rivals.

Kurokiba Ryo was just the first; several others were temporarily put on hold because Nakiri Alice's strength was insufficient.

"Alright, it's getting late, so we'll take our leave now."

After glancing at his phone, Bai Yuan stood up and spoke to the chef and Kurokiba Ryo who were watching them in the kitchen. Then, he led Nakiri Alice away without looking back.

Chapter 19 Golden Ratio Shumai, White Snake Spinning Chain

"Brother Baiyuan, why did you agree to him? That guy is so weak. If you were choosing an opponent, there should have been a more suitable choice."

Leaving the harbor restaurant, looking at the briskly walking Bai Yuan beside her, Alice Nakiri finally couldn't suppress her doubts and asked.

"He's about your age, and you're both in the prime of your culinary skills. He might become a good rival in the future."

Calling someone "Master" in front of others but "Brother" in private is a habit that Alice Nakiri has developed over the past two years. The reason is that she is too ashamed to call him that in front of others, and it would also be disrespectful to Bai Yuan.

After all, no matter what, in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yuan is her master. How could she call her master "brother"?

"I see. But will that guy really get stronger? Judging from his arrogant attitude, he doesn't seem like the type to learn from others' experiences."

"Yes, this kind of person has a strong sense of self-esteem. If he loses, he will try to win back the loss. I also see a love for cooking in him. As long as his talent is not particularly bad, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"In that case, let's set aside some time to deal with him."

Looking into Alice Nakiri's innocent eyes, and recalling the burning fighting spirit in Kurokiba Ryo's eyes when facing him, Bai Yuan suddenly remembered himself from a few years ago, constantly challenging strong opponents, and also the scene of his duel with the Five Tiger Stars.

If he hadn't time-traveled, he would probably be a being who has surpassed the Five Tiger Stars in every way by now, and Xiang En has always had feelings for him...

As Bai Yuan pondered, his thoughts drifted far away. When he came back to his senses, he found that his hand was being held by Alice Nakiri, and the girl seemed to be in a good mood.

Well, things are alright as they are now.

Before long, the two returned to the Nakiri's house. Nakiri Leonora was lying on the dining table, her little feet swinging back and forth. When she heard the noise at the door, she immediately raised her face and looked at them angrily.

"Mom, you're back."

Upon seeing Leonora Nakiri, Alice Nakiri blushed slightly, released her grip on Bai Yuan's hand, and ran forward to jump into her mother's arms.

"goo"

At the same time, Leonora's stomach rumbled, but she still reached out and hugged Alice, saying in a plaintive tone:

"You all went out to play, and you didn't even leave me any food. I was really looking forward to coming back and eating Brother Bai Yuan's cooking!"

"Haven't you eaten yet? Then wait here for a bit. I have a dish I really want to make right now. Wait for me for twenty minutes."

After quickly calculating the time in his mind, Bai Yuan smiled and said to Nakiri Leonora, picking up a kitchen apron as he walked towards the cooking counter.

After this period of cooking instruction, the two members of the Nakiri family, one big and one small, have become his culinary devotees, to the point that they can't live without him!

Although Bai Yuan didn't want to control humans using the methods of the Dark Cuisine World, his cooking was just too delicious. Once you tasted it, you would linger and not want to eat any other food.

Turning to look at Leonora Nakiri, who was gazing at him with longing, Bai Yuan swallowed hard. He had to admit, her eyes were incredibly alluring!

"Refocus, focus, Alice is still here."

Realizing something was wrong with him, Bai Yuan took two deep breaths, then looked at the kitchen counter and walked towards the refrigerator.

Eggs, green vegetables, red and green bell peppers, some shrimp, tied-up crabs, half a piece of pork, and a small piece of leftover ham from yesterday.

"Brother Baiyuan, what kind of dish are you planning to cook? Is there anything I can help with?"

Seeing Bai Yuan standing in front of the refrigerator deep in thought, Nakiri Alice stood up from Nakiri Leonora's arms, ran to his side, and looked expectant.

"Let me perform tonight. You can save your appetite for now. You probably didn't eat enough earlier."

"I'm not full yet, but even if I were, I could still eat Brother Bai Yuan's cooking!"

Bai Yuan said with a smile, and Nakiri Alice hurriedly responded. Although the two had eaten something at the harbor restaurant, they were pulled away by Kurokiba Ryo to have a match halfway through, so they didn't get to eat their fill.

Even if Leonora Nakiri didn't say she was hungry, Shiro would still cook something to fill her stomach when he returned. However, when he saw the ingredients in the refrigerator and thought of the fish shumai that Alice Nakiri had just made, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

While both are shumai, he has an even more impressive version: Master Jie's golden ratio shumai, which he mastered after only a few attempts in the world of culinary disasters.

As for the taste, it can only be said that it lives up to its reputation as the number one shumai in mainland China. The fact that Little Chef's Cosmic Shumai won has a bit of a plot twist to it.

Watching Alice Nakiri return to Leonora Nakiri's embrace, Bai Yuan took a bag of flour from under the stove and skillfully added water to it.

Because the time limit is 20 minutes, he needs to use some special techniques to knead the dough, which can save a lot of proofing time.

Bai Yuan picked up the custom-made extra-long rolling pin next to him, gave a light shout, and his muscles bulged high as the rolling pin began to rotate rhythmically.

The staff head instantly began to rotate, and as time went on, the rotation amplitude increased and the speed increased.

Feeling the force emanating from the stick, Bai Yuan suddenly stretched his arm forward and plunged it into the dough filled with water in front of him.

The next moment, a giant white python leaped up from the table! At the same time, it spun and rose higher along the extended rolling pin in Bai Yuan's hand.

Due to the force of the rotation, a fierce wind suddenly arose around them, and Leonora Nakiri was shocked and opened her mouth wide when she saw this.

"This...this...this...the dough flew off the table?!"

Leonora Nakiri said in disbelief, and suddenly stood up.

Beside her, Alice Nakiri looked at Bai Yuan with eyes full of admiration. This incredible cooking technique was something that ordinary people could not master!

"Even the most skilled noodle makers in Japan can't compare to this level of skill!"

Having lived in Japan for a long time, Leonora Nakiri had sampled many noodle shops, including some that showcased live cooking skills. While these were impressive, they paled in comparison to Shirabuchi's current abilities.

The strong wind tousled hair and made clothes flutter, while the white python in the sky changed into various postures, sometimes coiling, sometimes swimming, sometimes coiling, sometimes spreading out. The various postures dazzled the eyes and made people exclaim in their hearts that it was wonderful!

"call…"

He let out a long breath, put down the extended rolling pin, and the white python returned to the table.

At this moment, Alice Nakiri, out of curiosity, stepped forward and saw that what was placed on the table in front of her was a lump of incredibly smooth, white, and seemingly very elastic dough!

"What amazing elasticity! In just a short time, the dough has achieved this level of pliability. Even if it were left to rise for half an hour, it would be impossible to reach this level!"

She reached out her finger to poke the dough on the table, but was afraid of ruining its integrity. Alice Nakiri bit her lower lip, her voice trembling slightly.

This cooking skill is absolutely terrifying!

My initial smugness at winning the competition with my fish shumai plummeted to rock bottom in an instant.

But excitement followed, because she still had so much to learn!

Chapter 20 The True Golden Ratio Shumai

"This is truly astonishing! Is this your original technique? If this trick appeared in the Japanese culinary world, it would definitely cause a sensation!"

As they were talking, Leonora Nakiri came to Bai Yuan's side, her face flushed with excitement. Such a top genius was actually her daughter's master. She had really hit the jackpot!

“This was taught to me by an old master. He saw that I had a great talent and treated me like his own son, passing on all his skills to me.”

Thinking of the old man with the cane, a smile appeared on Bai Yuan's face.

Logan, the pastry king, had mocked him with his words, insisting on a competition. During the competition, he secretly learned his techniques, and after the competition, he bluntly asked him what was wrong.
