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

The moment she finished speaking, someone immediately came up with a number plate, took the food she handed over, and quickly paid the remaining amount.

Following number one, numbers two, three, four, and so on, in order...

Before Kikuchi Sonoka could even call out their numbers, the Rindo members could immediately announce their numbers and then eat at the tables set up next to them after receiving their food.

Because the match was scheduled for the evening, Bai Yuan spent money to buy the right to use both sides of the street for a day, and prepared about a hundred seats for the guests to use.

"Delicious! This sesame-flavored chicken cutlet is absolutely amazing. With one bite, the crispy bread and tender chicken cutlet combine perfectly, creating a top-notch taste!"

As soon as Guest A sat down, he began to taste it. The freshly cooked sesame-flavored chicken cutlet was the most fragrant. With one bite, the crispy and tender textures burst forth at the same time.

"And this Jade Hairpin Shrimp Balls, now I know why it has the words 'Jade Hairpin' in it!"

The tenderness of the shrimp balls and the crispness of the three types of shredded bamboo shoots, carrots, and asparagus complement each other perfectly, creating a harmonious and entirely new flavor.

Guest B couldn't help but exclaim that the taste of the shrimp was beyond his imagination, and could be said to be the best shrimp dish he had ever eaten in his life!

"Not only that, the Jade Hairpin Shrimp Balls dish has an exceptionally rich and natural shrimp flavor. It's so delicious that it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth, making me, a shrimp lover, extremely satisfied!"

Guest C also spoke up, his face full of blissful enjoyment. He was an extreme fan of shrimp, and when he saw that Bai Yuan had prepared shrimp dishes, and that the shrimp dishes were ones he had never eaten before, he immediately defected from Cheng Yilang's fan club.

"I love these snow-covered mini dumplings. They're filled with all sorts of different fillings, each with a unique flavor. Every bite is a completely new experience! Long live sweets!"

Holding a small, snow-white dumpling the size of a longan between her fingers, the girl's face was filled with joy; it was because of this that she chose Bai Yuan.

Snowflake Dumplings.

It uses the same cooking method as snow cotton red bean paste, but replaces the filling and rolls it into smaller pieces, thus creating a completely new flavor.

"Who eats dessert right away? Save it for last, you bastard!"

Seeing that some people had already begun to taste the last dessert, some particular people immediately pounded their chests and stamped their feet, their faces showing regret.

How can you eat dessert before a meal?! You won't be able to eat anything else after that!

"I can eat Joichiro's food anytime, but this chef might only be staying for a day. No way! I have to buy another serving later!"

Customer A spoke, then picked up the orange and black pepper beef cubes and examined them in the sunlight:

"The quality of this beef is really good. The sweet and sour orange flavor, the spiciness of the black pepper, and the tenderness of the beef that melts in your mouth with just a little chewing."

A multitude of flavors converge in the mouth, exploding all at once with a single bite—truly a top-tier experience!

"And have you noticed? These dishes appear to be scattered and have no connection to each other."

But once you actually taste it, you'll find that no matter which dish you start with, the lingering flavor in your mouth will make the next dish you eat taste even better!

"Indeed, if you eat the orange and black pepper beef cubes first, and then the jade hairpin shrimp balls, the shrimp balls will have a subtle sweet and sour taste and a spicy flavor, which will elevate the taste of the shrimp balls and create a completely new flavor!"

"If you pair it with sesame-flavored chicken cutlet, it will taste completely different!"

"That's right! These four snacks, including the most diverse flavor of the Snow Floss Dumplings, can probably be combined in dozens of ways."

This dish is truly a treasure trove of flavors that you can keep exploring!

The man couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Thanks to Bai Yuan's extremely high cooking efficiency, more and more people have been able to taste his dishes.

Because of the different order in which they tasted the food, the lingering flavors in their mouths were different, and their experiences were also completely different, much like drawing cards.

However, there was a consensus at the scene.

good to eat!

"It felt like being in a peaceful and tranquil little world. Wheat and red beans were planted in the fields, along with all sorts of other crops. Shrimp swam and played in the water, and cows grazed and sunbathed on the hillside behind the village. Everything was so beautiful!"

"No worries, no troubles, just thinking about what to do today."

Tasting this dish feels like stepping back into the happiest time of my childhood!

Close your eyes and feel it carefully; everyone present seemed to have returned to their childhood.

They were carefree back then, without having to worry about the future; it was arguably the happiest time of their lives!

As they grow up, they are busy making a living and have no time to appreciate the beauty around them. Their lives are reduced to the mundane details of daily life.

Now, thanks to Bai Yuan's dish, they have returned to that time, which brings tears to their eyes.

Some of the middle-aged people even burst into tears, eating their food while crying, looking utterly pathetic, yet no one laughed at them.

They shouldered the heavy burden of their families and were among the most stressed.

Forget about the carefree days of childhood; if you don't earn money, you'll get scolded by your wife even if you just come home and breathe.

Middle age is also the time when layoffs are most severe. If you don't want to be laid off, you can only work desperately, staying up all night. The pressure is immense.

Nowadays, the value of food that can provide them with a brief respite and solace transcends mere taste.

"This is wonderful! It's the first time I've ever had a dish like this."

"Boss, another one!"

The middle-aged man wiped away his tears and called out in the direction of Bai Yuan, but received no response.

This made him realize that this was not an izakaya (Japanese pub), and that the food had to be picked up by lottery.

"Stop with the hammer! Do you think this is an izakaya? If you want it, get a new number."

A person with foresight, halfway through tasting the food, found it delicious and got up early to go to Kikuchienka to get a new number.

After enjoying the meal, you can seamlessly transition to another activity.

"Damn it! Who secretly cooked and ate me while I was away?"

However, his smugness didn't last long. When he returned to his seat, he looked at the empty plate in front of him and angrily looked around.

Someone actually managed to secretly eat all the remaining food on their table while he was away!?

Such incidents are not uncommon; many people are too clever for their own good. How could anyone resist the allure of top-notch cuisine?

“How terrifying…”

Watching Shirai Awakening continuously produce new dishes, and the diners at his table with their faces full of madness, Soma Yukihira couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Don't be so discouraged. We still have a chance to catch up. It may be a little difficult, but if we give up, there will really be no hope."

At this moment, Joichiro Yukihira stood in front of the iron plate, holding an iron shovel in his hand. Hearing Soma Yukihira's words, he spoke to him with a deep look in his eyes.

Although he knew the chances of winning were slim, at least there was still a chance; if he gave up, there would be no hope at all.

He is not someone who gives up easily. Even if the chance is slim, he will do his best. He was like that before, and he is like that now.

And the dish he's preparing to cook today.

fried dumpling.

The filling is made using beef and shrimp, along with shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

His innovation lies in the starch water poured over the potstickers. Instead of using traditional starch water, he added clear chicken broth to it.

The chicken breast is ground into a paste to quickly bring out the flavor and allow the chicken broth to solidify rapidly for use in cooking.

Of course, this is just one aspect of the innovation. In addition, there is the cheese powder sprinkled on the surface of the potstickers, as well as the sauce prepared later.

This dish should have been the fastest. Even though Bai Yuan's skills were better, he couldn't match his speed. As a condition for winning the food war, he had already lost.

This was the optimal solution that he and Soma Yukihira determined after trying it all night.

But now, Bai Yuan, with his superb culinary skills, has completely reversed his greatest advantage, turning him into a laughing stock.

He had never heard of a cooking technique that could prepare the ingredients for ten pots at the same time using only a few silver chopsticks!

Where did this guy come from? Who taught him? How could he be so powerful?!

Chapter 134 An Insurmountable Gap in Strength.

"Jiro, how's it going on our side? Some of them have already eaten and left."

A customer who had been waiting for twenty minutes at the stall complained.

Because the ingredients cannot be prepared in advance, even if Yukihira Joichiro tries his best, he will not be able to cook the dish within twenty minutes.

He originally planned to let Bai Yuan have an early lead and then catch up later.

This is his consistent style of play: feign weakness to create an illusion at the start, then rise up in the mid-game to catch up, and finally surpass the opponent.

But now, Bai Yuan's extraordinary cooking speed has truly caught him off guard.

If this continues, he'll steal all the customers from the place!

"Sigh, encountering such an opponent, one can only consider oneself unlucky. This is simply beyond human capabilities."

"Joichiro, don't be discouraged even if you lose. This is not your fault."

Among the customers queuing behind him, someone noticed Yukihira Joichiro's unease and couldn't help but speak up for him.

This is simply an unsolvable situation!

Faced with such an opponent, no one could possibly defeat them!

"There is still hope."

As he spoke, Joichiro Yukihira lifted the iron lid in front of him.

In an instant, a rich aroma, accompanied by thick steam, spread out in all directions from the cooking counter.

"Soma, open for business."

"Understood!"

Soma Yukihira smiled as he took the potstickers from Joichiro Yukihira and began his business.

Compared to Shirabuchi's more complex dishes, Yukihira Joichiro's most time-consuming tasks were preparing the ingredients and making the potstickers.

After placing the potstickers in the pan, simply time them until they are cooked through. Once cooked, lift the lid, flip the potstickers over, and fry for a little longer before removing them from the pan.

This efficiency is undoubtedly the highest, with an average of ten dishes produced every ten minutes.

However, compared to Bai Yuan, who could use ten pots simultaneously and still maintain order, this was somewhat lacking.

At this moment, Bai Yuan's hands were so fast that only afterimages could be seen. Ingredients were constantly being thrown into the air, and with a flash of the knife, they were shelled, cut, and fell into the bowl.

With a little stirring with silver chopsticks, it is brought to a state where it can be cooked.

The entire process takes less than a minute, and more than a dozen dishes are prepared at the same time.

And that's not the scariest part. The scariest part is that he has to take care of the cooking temperature while preparing the ingredients.
