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

A large amount of sheep's blood flowed down the sheepskin into the ground, some of which remained on the Po Jun Blade. Under the sunlight, the Po Jun Blade seemed even sharper.

"So it turns out that sheep can be butchered in this way too, besides cows. It's a really impressive and practical skill!"

Seeing what was happening before her eyes, Yoshino Yuuki opened her mouth wide, while Sakaki Ryoko covered her lips with her hand, clearly also frightened by the scene.

"That makes sense. If we can handle cows, there's no reason we can't handle sheep. This method can be used on any creature that exists in the world."

"Of course, the premise is that you are familiar with its structure. Only by being familiar with the structure can you make precise cuts. Otherwise, having a lot of skills is useless if you can't put them into practice."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yuan realized that what he said was not quite accurate, so he added a sentence.

"If you master one move, you'll master all moves."

Unfortunately, even the Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash cannot be learned in a short time.

Ryoko Sakaki couldn't help but sigh, then looked at the neatly cut mutton on the ground and asked curiously, "Teacher Shirabuchi, what are you planning to do?"

"Lamb shumai".

"Lamb shumai? Surprisingly ordinary..."

When asked, Bai Yuan gave the answer decisively. He then brought a large iron basin, put the cut mutton into it, and asked the two people to help carry it into the kitchen.

“Let us help out, we have nothing to do right now.”

Yoshino Yuuki placed the iron basin on the counter, rolled up her sleeves, and looked eager to try it out.

"No need, you can just watch from the side."

With your current technical skills, this dish probably won't be of much help.

Bai Yuan shook his head as he raised his hand to stop the two people who were about to help.

Although they meant well, forcing themselves to do things they couldn't do can easily lead to bad results.

"It's just mutton shumai, right? Putting everything else aside, whether it's kneading the dough, wrapping the shumai, or chopping the mutton filling and seasoning it, we can do it all!"

A slightly arrogant voice came from Yoshino Yuuki's mouth. The girl puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, feeling that they had been looked down upon by Bai Yuan.

"Let's make a decision after you've read it. If you think you can do it after reading it, then let's do it together."

He reached out and poked Yoshino Yuuki's puffed-up cheek until she let out her anger and returned to normal before Shirabuchi walked to the kitchen counter.

Make a hole in the flour, add water and eggs separately, and pick up the long wooden stick sewn in the corner of the kitchen, pointing one end at the flour.

"The White Serpent Chain Spinning—I've seen Master Bai Yuan use it more than once, but every time I see it, I'm still awestruck. How could a human be capable of such a thing!"

As Bai Yuan's arm began to rotate, the wooden stick also spun, creating a sudden gust of wind in the room, and the dough and water mixed together.

A giant white snake soared through the air, roaring at Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko, while making movements that only snakes would make.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, the dough they knead using this technique is something they cannot surpass using ordinary methods.

"As expected of Teacher Bai Yuan."

Ryoko Sakaki exclaimed in admiration, a unique glint in her eyes.

After flying in the sky for a while, the white snake landed steadily on the table. Bai Yuan reached out, pulled, and pinched, and one by one, evenly sized dough balls appeared on the clean cutting board.

"Hey!"

With another low shout, his muscles bulged high, and the wooden stick in his hand spun in the air, creating a powerful whirlwind around him.

"Oh! A skirt..."

Feeling the sudden whirlwind, Ryoko Sakaki's face visibly turned red.

Because of the whirlwind, her long dress flew straight up, with the hem even reaching her face and obscuring her vision.

Helpless, she could only press down with both hands, but the strong wind kept fighting against her, preventing her from pressing down the skirt, which gave her quite a headache.

Fortunately, only she, Yoshino Yuuki, and Shirobuchi were in the room, and Shirobuchi's attention was completely focused on the dough on the cutting board.

"I don't know whether to feel fortunate, lament my lack of charm, or scold Teacher Bai Yuan for being clueless about romance..."

After finally managing to pull her skirt down, Ryoko Sakaki bit her lower lip, her feelings inexplicably complicated as she looked at Shiro Awaki, who didn't spare a single glance for her.

"It flew!? It can even spin the wooden stick in its hand while upside down..."

Beside her, Yoshino Yuuki stared wide-eyed. Every time she thought she would never be shocked by Shiro Awakening again, he would exceed her expectations.

Bai Yuan leaped into the air and spun the wooden stick rapidly across the table.

Each dough ball, under the action of high-speed rotation, is transformed into a thin, evenly sized shumai wrapper.

After rolling out the shumai wrappers, Bai Yuan stepped down from the table and looked at the dozen or so iron basins filled with mutton according to different cuts of meat.

"The front leg, hind leg, outer muscle, tenderloin, and the last half of the neck of mutton are suitable for making fillings."

These cuts of meat are easier to stew or steam until tender, and they have a good lean-to-fat ratio, so they're not too greasy. The shank meat, in particular, has some meat fibers, making it quite chewy and giving it a great texture.

Seeing Shirayuki finish making the shumai wrappers and prepare the filling, Yoshino Yuuki spoke up, because she saw that he had placed the whole sheep's meat on the cooking table.

Logically speaking, we shouldn't need that much meat.

“Indeed, the lamb shumai you mentioned are suitable for filling, but what I’m making today is not your average lamb shumai.”

"Not your ordinary mutton shumai?"

Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes. Could there be anything unusual about mutton shumai?

Could it be that some secret formula was added?

But the ingredients on the table are all common ones!

"This is a modified version of a dish by a young chef. It allows you to taste the flavor of a whole sheep in one bite, but it requires superb skills."

A rare seriousness appeared on Bai Yuan's face, which made Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko's hearts skip a beat.

Even Master Baiyuan takes this dish seriously; it seems they really can't afford to mess with it.

But what kind of dish could be so difficult for Chef Baiyuan to prepare...?

"Seven Star Extreme Speed ​​Slash!"

Ignoring the two people beside him, Bai Yuan took a deep breath as he looked at the various cuts of mutton in front of him, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

With astonishing speed, Wu Qu knife was drawn and used to slice the various cuts of mutton in front of him into minced meat. After simple seasoning, it was placed aside.

Cut shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and shrimp into very small cubes.

Several ingredients are added to the mutton filling in a golden ratio and mixed evenly. This method is used for more than a dozen bowls of mutton filling.

"Each of these small cubes of shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and shrimp is probably no more than three millimeters in diameter. The shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots, in particular, are cut into very distinct cubes!"

"And each one is the same size, scattered together like a copy and paste..."

Out of curiosity, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko took a few steps forward and came to the cutting board. Looking at the leftover ingredients, they were surprised to find that the shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots had been cut into unusually small pieces.

Putting everything else aside, even if they could do that knife skill, it would take them a lot of time, far from being as effortless as Bai Yuan's.

But why? Why cut the ingredients into such small pieces? Does it even have any texture? Or is it just to borrow the flavor?

Also, is it necessary to prepare so much filling for making shumai? Is it perhaps an experiment to see the different textures and flavors of different cuts of meat?

Many questions arose in their minds, but neither Yoshino Yuuki nor Sakaki Ryoko uttered a sound, simply watching Shirabuchi operate in silence.

Bai Yuan didn't keep them waiting long.

He simply placed his hand on the counter, and a translucent shumai wrapper appeared in his palm.

With her other hand, she picked up a small wooden spoon used for making wontons, scooped a small spoonful of meat filling from one bowl, and then changed to another bowl.

The speed is so fast that you can even see afterimages, and the shumai in your hand is quickly filled in during the process, becoming incredibly beautiful.

"Ten seconds? That's a little slow..."

Looking at the shumai that had taken shape in his hands, Bai Yuan frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied. Then he sighed softly and silently quickened his pace.

More and more shumai appeared on the cutting board, lined up neatly in a row, and soon enough for three baskets were made and placed on the steamer.

"I see.

Every part of the lamb is processed into filling, and then wrapped in shumai using a special technique in layers, so that you can eat a whole lamb in one bite!

Watching Bai Yuan's movements, Sakaki Ryoko had a look of sudden realization. No wonder he said this dish was difficult and they couldn't help with it.

From making the shumai wrappers to preparing the filling, and then wrapping the filling inside the shumai, every step requires extremely delicate operation. With their current skill level, it is indeed difficult for them to keep up with Bai Yuan's pace.

"To wrap a whole sheep inside a shumai—what a bold and unrestrained spirit!"

Yoshino Yuuki also realized what was happening and muttered to herself, her eyes momentarily blank as she looked forward to the smell of the steamed dumplings in the steamer.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that they used a whole sheep is enough to generate a lot of anticipation.

"What are you doing in the kitchen? Teacher Bai Yuan, the smell of mutton is so strong. Didn't you say you wouldn't give cooking instructions? Why are you secretly cooking for us?"

A few jealous voices came from behind them. The group looked towards the door and were surprised to find Hisako Shinoto and Erina Nakiri standing there.

The source of the sound was Hisako Shinoto. The girl looked sullen and was clearly unhappy about their private tutoring.

Although Erina Nakiri didn't say anything, she had a subtle expression that made Bai Yuan feel very uncomfortable, as if his wife had discovered his affair.

“I was cooking my own food, I didn’t give them any special treatment, and this is not a dish that you can replicate.”

Although there was no need to explain, Bai Yuan naturally wouldn't remain silent about a misunderstanding that could be cleared up with a few words.

"A dish we can't replicate?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Eri Nakiri couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

She certainly didn't doubt Bai Yuan's words, but she really couldn't think of any dish that she couldn't replicate, so she turned her gaze to the steamer in front of her.

"Could it be a very complicated pastry to make? Even so, if I spend enough time, I can still make one or two without any problem."

If it were that, then Master Baiyuan wouldn't have said that we couldn't replicate it with our current skill level; it means it's an even more difficult dish!

With this thought in mind, Erina Nakiri stared intently, wanting to catch a glimpse of the dish.

Bai Yuan didn't hide anything and calculated the time before opening the steamer lid.

As the lid was lifted, a wave of hot air rushed out, and the crystal-clear whole lamb shumai came into view.

The shumai did not emit a golden light when it appeared; instead, a layer of flowing light wrapped around its surface, with a hidden golden light inside, making it look incredibly mysterious.

"Light soy sauce enhances the flavor, dark soy sauce adds color, balsamic vinegar cuts through the greasiness, and sugar is used to balance the flavors."
