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

"Boss, I'd like a sweet and sour carp!"

"I'd like to try the Eight Treasure Fish."

As time went on, and with customers constantly calling and messaging to urge them on, someone soon arrived at the restaurant to deliver the raw materials. Then, the people sitting down immediately found the waiters and asked them to take the raw materials to the kitchen so that the head chef could process them.

However, before they could go inside, they were stopped by a towering figure.

"Each person can only order one dish per day. If you want to eat it, come earlier tomorrow. There are still many people waiting outside!"

Bai Yuan spoke coldly, explaining that this was something they had planned long ago to prevent the restaurant from being occupied by the same group of customers, which would prevent them from achieving their goal of ruining the neighboring [Nuoyu] restaurant.

Now, the aroma of food from the restaurant wafts through the doorway onto the street.

Countless pedestrians noticed this place, as well as the sign at the restaurant entrance, and couldn't tear themselves away—it was too tempting to be free!

At that moment, fishmonger Mil's stall had sold out of fish and he was constantly apologizing to the customers who were queuing behind him but hadn't been able to buy any. When he saw Bai Yuan come out of the restaurant, he immediately smiled and waved to him.

"Brother Bai, that's amazing! All the fish are sold out, and it's only been two hours! I wish I had ordered more!"

Seeing Bai Yuan walking towards him, fishmonger Mir said excitedly that this was the first time he had sold fish so smoothly, without even a bargaining process, and the customer bought his fish directly!

There was no way around it; there were just too many people queuing up behind them. If they didn't buy, someone else would!

Chapter 43 No, dude, you guys are going a bit too far!

"Business will be even better tomorrow. We'll stock up on more fish, and we can choose some rare and expensive varieties to raise the prices, which will increase the profit margin."

"Ok, I see!"

Bai Yuan smiled and patted the fishmonger Mir on the shoulder, then shared his thoughts.

Rare and expensive fish, even though he needs to think for a moment before cooking them, would definitely be a considerable challenge for Alice Nakiri.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Bai Yuan turned his gaze to the guests waiting at the door.

They were pressed against the glass windows outside the restaurant, their eyes scanning back and forth inside. There were men, women, and children all inside, and the only thing they had in common was that they were all carrying bags of ingredients. Their Adam's apples bobbed from time to time, and they looked very eager.

Indeed, with such a rich and enticing aroma wafting continuously from inside the restaurant, it would be truly strange if they didn't react at all!

"Quick, there's a seat available inside! Let me in!"

"You're not going in! I'm going in first! You can just wait outside and eat my ass!"

Suddenly, a group of people inside the restaurant finished eating and got up, causing an immediate commotion outside. Countless diners gathered at the entrance tried to squeeze into the restaurant, startling the customers inside.

Judging from their demeanor, those in the know would understand they're here to eat, but those who don't might think they're going to tear the restaurant down!

"boom."

"Line up! Don't you all understand the rule of first come, first served? Anyone who doesn't follow my rules can leave now. You're not welcome here!"

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Bai Yuan frowned and slammed the restaurant door shut, calling out in a deep voice.

At the same time, his overwhelming aura surged forth once more, causing the crowd to freeze in their tracks. They scrambled into a neat line, like startled birds and beasts.

What's going on? Who exactly is this guy? Why does he have such an imposing aura that makes people afraid to look him in the eye, let alone look at his face?

"That's more like it! We believe in first come, first served. You all hate people cutting in line, right? You could have done it perfectly, couldn't you?"

Seeing the rapidly tidying line in front of him, Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "The people in this world really have no manners at all."

They know perfectly well how to queue, but they only agree to queue when others get angry, and their manners are even worse than those of the residents of "Chunghwa Ichiban" (a popular Taiwanese restaurant chain).

"Just follow this line. If anyone tries to cut in line, you can report them to me, and I will kick them out. Those who report others can enter the restaurant early."

As Bai Yuan spoke, he reopened the restaurant door, and a rich aroma wafted out once more. The customers who had been blocked at the door came out, giving him a grateful look and understanding his actions.

At the restaurant, when he saw Bai Yuan presiding over the order, he thought that this person was making a mountain out of a molehill, and that there was no need to be so serious when everyone came to have a meal.

But now it seems that nothing can be accomplished without rules. Some rules must be established, otherwise the world will become chaotic.

"You two go in, hand the ingredients you bought to the waitress, and tell her what dishes you want to eat. If it's not a common dish, just state your specific requirements. If you're unsure, just ask them to bring you a fish and meat dish blind box."

"Okay, we understand, thank you."

Looking at the man and woman in front of him, who were clearly a couple, Bai Yuan glanced at them, gave them a few simple instructions, and then turned and went back to the restaurant.

After his two shouts, the restaurant is now much more orderly than before; at least everyone is listening to him.

Hopefully, this situation can be maintained. We've made it through the first hurdle of opening the store!

"What's going on? Why are there so few orders today? Usually, we get at least forty or fifty orders by now, but today we only have a dozen or so?"

In the kitchen of the [Nuoyu] restaurant, Jancis looked at the few order receipts and a puzzled expression on her face.

It couldn't possibly be because of yesterday's competition.

Although it is indeed embarrassing, only the nearby residents should see it. Even if it were to spread, it would take more than a day or two.

Furthermore, even if he loses face, it won't affect his restaurant, since his status as a top-level chef is genuine and without any exaggeration!

"Thurben, go outside and check what's going on. What happened to cause such a sharp drop in the number of customers!"

With an indescribable gloom on his face, Jesse kicked Thurben, who was chopping vegetables not far away, and said in a commanding tone.

"Yes, Chef!"

Although the kick hurt a bit, Thurben still looked respectful and ingratiating before quickly leaving the kitchen. However, once he left the kitchen, the respect and ingratiation on his face vanished instantly, and he spat out a "pui".

"You piece of trash! You got defeated by a kid like that. You're no special-grade chef. How dare you order me around like that? I'll get you out of this restaurant one day!"

After saying this, he nervously glanced around the restaurant. Only after confirming that no one had heard him did he breathe a sigh of relief and leave the restaurant to investigate the situation.

Although he had some complaints about Jesse, the other man was still the head of the kitchen and someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to do the work he was given.

"What's going on over there? What happened? Why are so many people gathered there...?"

Just as Thurben stepped out of the Noyu restaurant, intending to investigate, he spotted Alice's restaurant. With so many people gathered there, it was hard not to notice. He immediately looked suspicious.

Without hesitation, he crossed the street and quickly arrived in front of Alice's restaurant. Looking at the queue that stretched almost to the other side of the street, he couldn't help but frown.

"Free fish cooking? Are you kidding me? I'm curious how this run-down place can have so many customers!"

Looking at the sign at the store entrance, Thurben frowned even more. It's understandable that a new store would have promotions, and it's also understandable that they would offer free processing to attract customers, but why are there so many people queuing up at the door?!

With such a long queue, it would take at least one or two hours to get food. Add to that the time it takes for the chef to cook, and it would take at least three hours. He believed that no one on the scene could not calculate such a high time cost.

Even so, they were still queuing! Not a trace of annoyance on their faces. What's going on with this restaurant? Could it be that another top-tier chef has arrived on this street?!

The only explanation for this scene is that a master chef attracts people with his culinary skills! As he approached the restaurant and smelled the rich aroma wafting from inside, Thurben's face showed a look of surprise.

Without much hesitation, he pushed through the crowd, opened the restaurant door, and stepped inside to see what was going on.

As luck would have it, someone finished their meal and got up at that moment. He strode over to the empty seat, and just as he was about to call for a waiter, someone pushed him to the ground first.

"Boss! We caught someone cutting in line!!"

A voice, tinged with excitement yet restrained, rang out as the strong men pinned Turben to the ground. Looking at Bai Yuan, who was approaching them after hearing the commotion, their voices were filled with a sense of self-satisfaction.

"Cutting in line? Didn't you tell him what I just said?"

Because his head was pressed to the ground, Bai Yuan couldn't see his face at all, so he asked in confusion, "These guys are too enthusiastic."

"I told him, but he wouldn't listen! He said it's such a fuss over such a small, run-down shop, and he just wanted to cut in line. Let's see what the owner can do to him!"

Thurben: "???"

No, bro, when did I ever say such a thing?!

Chapter 44 What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

"Let me go! I'm a guest here for dinner, how dare you treat me like this! I will never let you get away with this... Ah!"

Thurben mumbled incoherently. Although he wanted to stand up, the three burly men on top of him didn't give him the chance. They even slapped him on the head with a stun gun while he was making threats.

This caused him to scream in pain.

"We know, we're after you, kid. Don't you know you can't cut in line at this store? Everyone's been patiently waiting in the blazing sun, and you're the only one who gets to cut in!"

"A man with earrings, a back covered in tattoos, and an overall aura of lewdness spoke, his eyes filled with a mocking and disdainful light.

As the man spoke, he reached out and patted Thurben's face twice, seemingly looking for a hand to fix, acting as if he were the most powerful person in the world.

But in reality, under the intimidation of Bai Yuan's powerful aura, he didn't dare to utter a single word and hid at the very back of the crowd.

As for the two people beside him, they were passersby who immediately followed him after seeing him move. They ran from the back of the line to the front in one go, truly unleashing their inner potential.

However, just thinking about the incredibly tempting aroma of the food they were about to eat in the restaurant made their mouths water uncontrollably.

Anyway! Being able to eat at this restaurant made the trip worthwhile!

"Boss, you just said that as long as we catch someone cutting in line, we can go straight in. This guy didn't queue at all. He obviously wanted to sit in that seat, so he should be considered one of the people you said who cut in line."

The tattooed man said this, his eyes showing respect for Bai Yuan. This respect was not from greed for the food in the shop, but from a heartfelt feeling of respect.

There's no way around it, this guy's aura is too strong, much stronger than even the elder brother he acknowledges. Just standing there is enough to scare people to tears.

"Woo!"

Turben wanted to say something, but his mouth was tightly covered. Because of the large hand, his nose was also covered. The intense feeling of suffocation made his face turn red and his neck bulge, and his body began to feel weak.

"Just throw him out and let go of his hand. I don't want him to die in my shop."

"After you come back, please sit at this table. I explained the rules at the beginning, and I hope you won't break them. Getting kicked out won't look good."

Looking at the struggling man in front of him, Bai Yuan finally recognized him by the glimpse of his face and eyes.

However, Bai Yuan had no intention of seeking revenge at the moment. After all, he had beaten him up just yesterday, and it was not easy to kill people in this world. So he simply had someone throw him out so that he could get rid of him.

"Don't worry, we know the rules!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, the three burly men holding down Turben were overjoyed. The tattooed youth obediently released his grip, allowing fresh air to enter his nostrils as he took deep breaths. Then, the three of them worked together to throw him away.

Looking at the man groaning "Ouch, ouch" at the store entrance, Bai Yuan's expression didn't change. Instead, he felt a bit smug. What was that saying again?

Heaven's way is easy to reincarnate, no one will be spared by heaven.

Six years ago, because he entered the kitchen of [Nuoyu], the head chef there threw him out of the kitchen. He felt that he had done something wrong, so he didn't think much of it and didn't hold a grudge. At most, he would complain a little.

Just dust yourself off and move on to the next spot.

However, this guy made a terrible mistake by trying to harm a severely injured 13-year-old child! Not only did he do it himself, but he also ordered those around him to help. If Alice hadn't happened to be there, he would have been in real trouble!

To be honest, he really didn't expect the people in Northern Europe to be so tough. If it were in China, even if the boss scolded him, he would still bring him food.

In China, you might not have much money, but you can definitely eat your fill. But this country is different; it's just that he suffered from preconceived notions.

The feud between the two began at that time. Otherwise, given Bai Yuan's status, he would never have held a grudge against a piece of trash who couldn't even beat a low-level chef in the Dark Cuisine World!
