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

"This knife has been in the underground ice chamber for more than a year. Even though the weather is very hot now, as long as the ice inside has not dissipated, it can be used normally."

While the two were talking, Bai Yuan had already taken action. He held the sea bream with one hand and the hilt of the Northern Star Wolf Blade wrapped in a towel with the other.

The knife fell and rose steadily, each cut barely a fraction of a second apart, and each slice of fish was sliced ​​off as thin as a cicada's wing.

The fish slice flew off the knife, forming a white ribbon in the air, and landed smoothly in a plate placed several meters away.

"Look closely, there seems to be something in the sashimi..."

As he watched the sashimi leaping in front of him, Kurokiba Ryo's eyes reflected something. Then, as if realizing something, he stared intently at Shirai's hand, observing his movements.

Although the cuts were rough, each one gave him a feeling of effortless ease, and every slice of sashimi he cut was exactly the same thickness!

Of course, none of these things shocked him the most. What shocked him the most was the sashimi that drew a white streak in the air!

"How is this possible?! Our faces... our faces are in the sashimi!"

"It's like a mirror, and it feels even better than the mirror at home. It makes me look several years younger."

"Nora has always been young and has never aged."

Hearing the voices of Alice and Leonora not far away, Bai Yuan looked up and spoke to Leonora, which was the truth.

"Oh my, you're the best at making me happy, but I love hearing that. No matter how old I get, I'll always be young and beautiful!"

Hearing Bai Yuan's heartfelt praise, Nakiri Leonora chuckled. She found this little brother increasingly pleasing to the eye.

"crash"

As the last piece of fish was sliced ​​open by the Beichen Tianlang Blade, the blade was shattered by Bai Yuan's overwhelming internal force, falling into the white jade plate and forming a small ice sculpture.

At the same time, he picked up the plate containing sashimi, pressed his fingertips against the bottom of the plate, and used his thumb to help rub it, then started to spin it.

The next moment, countless sashimi slices as thin as cicada wings flew out from it and precisely adhered to the iceberg, covering it with a sashimi coat.

The icy air emanating from the iceberg acts as a perfect refrigerator, freezing the deliciousness of the sashimi in that very moment!

Seeing that everything was complete, Bai Yuan let out a long breath and carried the iceberg in his hand to Nakiri Leonora and the others.

"Give it a try! This dish is more vibrant at this time of year, and it tastes much better than at other times!"

And the name of this dish is… Frozen Sea Bream Mountain.

Bai Yuan spoke in a clear and resonant voice, filled with strong confidence. However, surprisingly, the dish did not emit a golden glow.

"What's going on? Isn't this just an iceberg? Where's the sea bream?"

Could it be that it failed? Logically speaking, shouldn't there be a golden light? Leonora Nakiri thought to herself, and words of comfort for Bai Yuan unconsciously surfaced in her mind.

“Look more closely, the sea bream is right on the iceberg.”

Kurokiba Ryoko looked closely at the iceberg and finally saw the sashimi clearly. Because it was cut so thinly, it seemed to blend into the ice at first glance, but you could still see it if you looked closely!

"It really is! This iceberg must be that ice knife. For sashimi, the refrigeration process is extremely important."

Upon hearing Kurokiba Ryo's words, Nakiri Leonora narrowed her eyes and, sure enough, saw extremely thinly sliced ​​sashimi on the iceberg.

Such exquisite knife skills, one would say they are worthy of Bai Yuan.

"Let me taste it!"

"Wait a minute, there's one last step. How can sashimi be served without sauce!"

As he spoke, Bai Yuan flicked out a cloud of smoke, which lingered over the Fierce Ice Sea Bream Mountain for a long time.

"Could this be... liquid nitrogen freeze-drying technology?!"

Carefully observing the smoke emitted by Bai Yuan, Nakiri Leonora accurately named it: a sauce made by freeze-drying liquid nitrogen! They've actually used molecular gastronomy!

"Alright, enjoy."

The instant Bai Yuan finished speaking, the Fierce Ice Fresh Snapper Mountain seemed to sense something and emitted a dazzling golden light.

The light lasted only a moment before disappearing, but a faint golden glow appeared on the extremely thin slice of sashimi, flowing continuously.

"This is... a dish that continuously emits a golden glow. How can something as simple as sashimi achieve this level of perfection?!"

Looking at everything before her, Leonora covered her mouth, speechless, her eyes filled with disbelief that her common sense had been overturned.

How can mere sashimi emit a golden glow?!

"This is not just ordinary sashimi. This is sashimi made with the Northern Star Wolf Blade. Moreover, this sea bream was caught at sunrise, and this is the golden moment when the sea bream's flavor reaches its peak."

Let your taste buds tell you the specific flavor!

Bai Yuan handed the chopsticks in his hand to Nakiri Leonora, a mysterious smile on his face. Considering all the conditions, it was no accident that this sashimi reached this level, but rather an inevitability!

“Gulp…”

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Leonora Nakiri couldn't help but swallow, a look of indescribable longing appearing on her face.

Although the scent in the air was faint, it was irresistible, and the longing grew stronger as time went on.

"I can not stand it any more!"

Kurokiba Ryo had been unable to contain himself any longer, and at this moment he couldn't care less about anything else. He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a slice of sashimi, and put it directly into his mouth.

The next moment, his eyes widened instantly.

Chapter 34 Fish slices that come alive in your mouth!

"It felt as if a fierce northerly wind was sweeping through my mouth! However, this sensation didn't last long; it was followed by death..."

As Kurokiba Ryo spoke, he closed his eyes, feeling the icy sensation dissipate under the warmth in his mouth, and the taste of sashimi slowly spread between his lips and tongue.

"The warmth in my mouth warmed up the sashimi, and the smooth and delicious flavor of the sea bream immediately spread. In that instant! The frozen sea bream seemed to come back to life! This fresh feeling, as if it were jumping around in my mouth, took me to a world of bliss!"

Leonora Nakiri was breathing heavily, her fingers pressed to her lips, her face flushed, looking as if she were aroused. But only Bai Yuan knew that this was all thanks to Lie Bingxian Tai Shan!

Of course, this is just the basic version of the Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain. After six years of continuous and in-depth research, Bai Yuan's current skill level is enough to take this dish to the next level. And the secret to taking it to the next level is the final sprinkle he adds...

"Even though there was no sauce, I could taste the flavor of sauce, and it was even more delicate and palatable than sauce."

If I'm not mistaken, Brother Bai Yuan, that layer of mist you just released was probably a sauce made using liquid nitrogen freeze-drying technology from molecular gastronomy!

With her hands still busy, Leonora Nakiri, while showing an expression of enjoyment, turned her head to look at Bai Yuan, a strange feeling in her heart.

He was clearly the researcher in this field, yet someone else had brought it to its pinnacle. No, Alice needs to step up her game!

"You're right. This sauce mainly uses soy sauce, wasabi, sugar, and lemon juice. It uses emulsification technology to improve the smoothness of the sauce, and then uses liquid nitrogen freeze-drying technology to turn them into powder, which can better adhere to the sashimi."

Hearing the answer he wanted, Bai Yuan nodded in satisfaction and then explained his approach.

He had tried this dish before, but he hadn't used the Northern Star Wolf Blade, so the result was just an ordinary glowing dish.

Under these circumstances, Baiyuan discovered that molecular gastronomy of sauces could further enhance the flavor of sashimi, so he did just that.

However, not every sauce tastes good after being processed into molecular gastronomy; there are quite a few disappointing results.

However, thanks to his superhuman sense of taste, Bai Yuan was able to adjust the optimal ratio in just one day.

"Let me try some!"

Seeing how happily Nakiri Leonora and Kurokiba Ryo were eating, Nakiri Alice slammed the cleaver in her hand into the cutting board and ran to the judges' table, wanting to join the ranks of the judges.

"Hey, but you're a contestant today. What kind of talk is it to come here to taste food instead of cooking?"

Looking at the half-eaten frozen sea bream mountain in front of her, Leonora Nakiri felt a little reluctant; if there were one more person, she would get less to eat.

"What does it matter? There's still so much left. You stingy mom!"

Hearing Leonora's words and seeing her subtle expression, Alice instantly understood her thoughts and immediately puffed out her cheeks and said.

"Eat up, eat up, you greedy little girl."

Seeing Alice Nakiri's resolute attitude, Leonora Nakiri could only sigh helplessly, give her a pair of chopsticks, and speed up her own eating.

Seeing her mother eating so happily, Alice Nakiri stopped being polite and picked up her chopsticks, her face flushed, as she reached for a piece of sashimi from the middle of the iceberg.

It's icy cold on the palate, followed by an intensely fresh sauce made with soy sauce, mustard, sugar, and lemon juice. The sauce is made with liquid nitrogen technology, which makes the texture even more delicate and gives it a unique flavor.

This feeling! It's like being deep in the ocean, riding on the back of a strong and lively sea bream, swimming freely in the sea!

A golden dragon gate loomed faintly in the sky. The sea bream became excited the moment it saw the dragon gate and carried her straight toward it.

One failure, two failures, three failures, but the sea bream refused to give up and kept charging forward, even though it was covered in wounds, until it finally succeeded after countless attempts!

The dragon roars through the nine heavens, soaring through the clouds and mist. The moment the fish transforms into a dragon is also the moment when the dish has the strongest impact, as if the whole person has been sublimated!

"Um…"

The powerful impact made Alice Nakiri's body go limp, but she still managed to stand with her legs apart. At this moment, every cell in her body was cheering!

How could anyone possibly win with a dish of this caliber!

Alice Nakiri's mind was screaming wildly. The difference was just too great! Compared to Shirayuki, the sea bream she was handling was practically a waste of food.

Unable to refuse, I couldn't stop what I was doing.

One bite, two bites, three bites…

By the time I was about to take my fourth bite, all the sashimi on the mountain of fresh sea bream had been devoured, leaving not a single trace.

The atmosphere was incredibly quiet throughout the process; you could hear a pin drop. Even after the food was finished, everyone kept their eyes closed, savoring the exquisite flavors in their mouths.

After a while, Alice Nakiri suddenly opened her eyes, blushed, and ran back to her room. When she came out, she had already changed her clothes. Obviously, the effect of the clothes bursting out was still there, but she had just suppressed it and postponed it.

Having been fed by Bai Yuan for so many years, her resistance to food has long reached a new level; ordinary glowing dishes cannot break her armor.

"Shall we continue the competition?"

Hearing footsteps, Leonora Nakiri snapped out of her reverie and looked at Alice Nakiri with a complicated expression, asking for her opinion. The outcome of this match was no longer in doubt.

"Beat it! My master taught me that a chef must have a fighting spirit. Even if you know your chances of winning are slim, you must do everything in your power to fight for a sliver of hope!"

Alice Nakiri said in a firm voice that she had requested this match herself and there was absolutely no reason for her to run away at the last minute.

"Well said! Keep going, and I'll point out any mistakes."

Hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Bai Yuan nodded with satisfaction. All those years of teaching had finally paid off. He didn't need a useless disciple who would give up at the first sign of trouble!

So, under Bai Yuan's urging, Nakiri Alice stepped back to her kitchen counter, picked up the knife again, placed her fingers on the prepared fish, and skillfully began to slice the sashimi.

Standard sashimi slices are about 3 millimeters thick. This thickness ensures that the fish slices remain tender and smooth when eaten, while also allowing them to better absorb the flavors of the seasonings and enhance the overall taste.

Without considering other factors, Alice Nakiri operates directly according to this standard, with an error of no more than 0.1 millimeters for each piece.

Watching the girl's efficient cooking method, Bai Yuan nodded secretly. As expected, this girl's knife skills had reached the top level.
