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

"Okay, I see."

Si Yingshi nodded, then put down the ingredients he was about to prepare and stood quietly beside Bai Yuan, his eyes fixed on the steamer.

I wonder what it will taste like.

But judging from the ingredients Teacher Bai Yuan made, it should be absolutely delicious! Ahhh!! Is it not ready yet? I can't wait any longer!

Kobayashi Rindou stood in front of the steamer, inhaling the aroma with a look of pure bliss, while muttering to himself, his voice filled with longing for shrimp dumplings.

As the temperature gradually rises, the shrimp dumplings emit a faint aroma of flour. It's a very ordinary fragrance, yet it makes people reluctant to leave.

"Indeed, with such exquisite cooking techniques, the final product must be amazing, at least a top-grade five-star dish!"

Isshiki Satoshi's voice rang out. Just those few moves by Shiro Abyss had completely won him over. People always admire the strong, and he was no exception.

If the other person is only slightly better than him, he will feel resentful and want to surpass him!

But if he is completely outmatched, he will accept it wholeheartedly and exclude himself from the competition, saying that "we are not from the same generation, so it is not appropriate to compare us."

As time went by, the fragrance in the air became more and more pronounced, without any obvious tendency, just a faint scent of wheat starch.

Bai Yuan closed his eyes, sensing the changing aromas in the steamer. When a hint of shrimp fragrance wafted from the steamer, he decisively reached out and opened it.

In an instant, a large amount of steam billowed out of the steamer, enveloping the kitchen in a white mist that slowly dissipated after more than ten seconds.

The food inside the steamer was then revealed to everyone.

"this is…"

Looking at the shrimp dumplings in the steamer, Si Yingshi's originally indifferent expression twisted slightly, and his mouth gaped open in shock.

"A dish of unparalleled brilliance!"

Isshiki Satoshi swallowed hard, uttering the words that were on everyone's mind.

As members of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy and inheritors of a culinary family, they naturally recognized the Flowing Light Cuisine and knew the skill required to create it.

They watched Bai Yuan cook the whole process. Apart from his slightly more advanced techniques, everything else was just standard cooking steps, but he handled each step with utmost care...

That's right! It's because every step is handled with utmost precision! That's why the cuisine reaches a level of brilliance; as the saying goes, the pinnacle is where there's no further room for improvement!

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck him. Isshiki Satoshi clenched his fist, and a bold idea suddenly came to mind.

If he goes back and refines a dish to perfection, could he make it reach the level of "Radiant Light"?

"Try it."

Seeing Kobayashi Rindou with half her body pressed against the steamer and looking at it with longing, Bai Yuan found it somewhat amusing and then handed her the chopsticks.

"We don't need this cumbersome thing!"

Without taking the chopsticks Bai Yuan offered, Kobayashi Rindou uttered those words, then reached for the shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.

Freshly steamed shrimp dumplings are translucent and crescent-shaped, resembling crystal, revealing the ingredients inside to everyone.

Although it doesn't release a strong aroma during the steaming process, the amazing flavor inside bursts forth the moment your teeth come into contact with the shrimp dumpling skin and break it.

The clothes fluttered in the wind. Although it was a closed kitchen, it was as if a gust of air rushed in from outside, assaulting the girl's taste buds and affecting her clothes at the same time.

"good to eat!"

Kobayashi Rindou couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

The moment she took a bite.

The tender, juicy, and bouncy texture of the shrimp bursts in your mouth, perfectly blending with the rich, fatty flavor of the pork.

It retains the freshness and sweetness of the shrimp while adding a richer texture to the filling!

The crispness of the bamboo shoots and the spiciness of the minced ginger and scallions intertwine and linger in the mouth, adding a unique new flavor to the shrimp dumplings.

Meanwhile, the addition of seasonings such as light soy sauce, lard, and umami sauce makes the shrimp dumplings taste richer and more flavorful, with a savory aroma that lingers in the mouth.

The final addition of sesame oil is the finishing touch; just a few drops make the aroma of the shrimp dumpling filling richer and more complex.

Close your eyes and savor the experience; the phrase "unforgettable" is an understatement!

"what"

With her face flushed, Kobayashi Rindou parted her lips slightly and let out an incredibly alluring moan. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes became incredibly dreamy.

This feeling is like swimming freely in the ocean, and suddenly discovering a forest underwater, like a paradise.

Inside, pigs were running around, there were lush bamboo groves and an acre of scallions, and countless shrimp were swimming in the air, searching for food. She was currently in the midst of these shrimp, who noticed her and kept burrowing into her body, kissing every part of her skin, making her moan softly.

"Fresh, fragrant, tender, smooth, and crisp—the various textures intertwine and form an inseparable relationship, a truly exquisite and perfect combination!"

At the same time, Tsukasa Eishi also came up, picked up a shrimp dumpling from the steamer, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it.

A variety of flavors flashed through his mind, constantly bombarding his brain like shooting stars, giving him an exceptionally strong taste experience.

"What an amazing creation! With just simple cooking, the dish can produce a shimmering effect, achieving something that countless culinary predecessors could not!"

Satoshi Isshiki savored the delicious flavors bursting in his mouth, and after a long while, he finally spoke with envy.

It's truly hard to imagine that such an amazing work could be created so effortlessly...

Before meeting Bai Yuan, he always thought that to cook dishes that glowed or even shimmered, one had to use recipes with enough creativity.

Unexpectedly, ordinary, everyday dishes can be cooked into dishes of dazzling brilliance!

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If popular dishes weren't delicious enough, they wouldn't have survived for thousands of years and still be around today!

"Alright, the rest is up to you."

Following my method, as long as there are no major mistakes, with your skills, you should be able to create a top-grade dish.

Go and experience it. The only thing you need to remember is to govern them, not to fulfill their desires.

As they spoke, Bai Yuan turned his gaze to Si Yingshi and left the cooking station, giving him the space to do his thing.

"To rule..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Si Yingshi murmured to himself, looking at the many ingredients in front of him. At this moment, it seemed as if whispers were entering his ears.

He can hear it.

He could hear it with absolute certainty.

He could hear the ingredients whispering, pleading, and telling him how they wanted to be cooked.

Please cook me by stir-frying.

"Please make me into dumpling filling."

"Please render me into lard."

"I don't want any changes. Please just mix me into the rice, so that I can be inseparable from Miss Soy Sauce."

"Please take me..."

A cacophony of sounds filled his ears, causing Tsukasa Eishi to furrow his brow and halt in his hand movements.

Finally, he simply closed his eyes, reached out his hand, and a kitchen knife appeared in his hand. The sound in his ears grew louder and louder until he could no longer hear who was speaking.

Only one voice remained in my mind.

"Please turn me into a shrimp dumpling!"

Upon hearing a sound from some unknown ingredient, Tsukasa Eishi opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

Immediately afterwards, Isshiki Satoshi and Kobayashi Rindou saw him take action quickly.

Although Bai Yuan's movements were slower than before, they were swift and decisive, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.

However, as the speed increased, problems were also exposed to Bai Yuan.

The knife skills were a bit lacking, and the way the filling was kneaded and the way the shrimp dumplings were wrapped were also somewhat flawed. However, for a student, this was already very impressive.

Without comparison, Isshiki Satoshi and Kobayashi Rindou would definitely exclaim, "Tsukasa Eishi's cooking skills have improved again!"

However, given Bai Yuan's earlier display of even more impressive culinary skills, the two of them showed no surprise at this moment.

He could only sigh to himself, "Indeed, it's not an easy thing to process every ingredient with such meticulous care."

Even this renowned genius could only process ingredients to this extent; there's still a vast gap between his skill and true mastery.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Bai Yuan silently counted down in his mind, judging when the shrimp dumplings in the steamer would be cooked, while observing Si Yingshi's actions to see if he could open the steamer in time.

finally…

"If you open the steamer for more than ten seconds, the skin will be too soft and the texture will be a bit lacking. I'll pay attention to that next time."

As Shigeyuki took action and opened the steamer lid, Shiro's voice rang out, and he looked at the steamer in front of him.

The shrimp dumplings are crystal clear, with thin skin and generous filling, exuding a rich and complex aroma. As soon as the steamer is opened, the fragrance instantly fills the entire kitchen.

"It smells so good! It's even more tempting than Teacher Bai Yuan's shrimp dumplings..."

Smelling the aroma in the air, Kobayashi Rindou couldn't help but sigh, "However, although it smells tempting, it doesn't have the same fatal attraction as Master Hakugen's shrimp dumplings!"

Recalling the feelings that Shirai's cooking had given her, Kobayashi Rindou added further explanation.

The shrimp dumplings at Baiyuan don't have an overpowering aroma, but once you smell them, they have a strange allure that makes you unwilling to leave, even if it means dying.

Although the aroma of the one in front of me was incredibly tempting, I was able to control myself by suppressing my desires.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

The people present weren't fools; they had a basic ability to judge the quality of food.

"The taste is acceptable, and it has reached the level of a top-grade product."

The proportions between the ingredients are very well done. It would be even better to add 5 grams more pork fat and 1 gram less lard.

You listened carefully to the ingredients, and instead of acting according to their raw desires, you orchestrated a comprehensive approach, ensuring your own ideas remained dominant.

Savoring the delicious food, Bai Yuan couldn't help but praise it.

"However, the control over various details is generally average."

The shrimp wasn't beaten vigorously enough, resulting in insufficient gelatinization. Too little umami sauce was added to the pork fat, making it overly greasy. These are some of the more obvious problems.

After praising, he should analyze the shortcomings, which is what he should do as a teacher. Blindly praising students will only make them proud and complacent.

"So that's how it is. There were so many shortcomings..."
