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

"ah!"

"Be careful."

Fortunately, Bai Yuan reacted quickly, using his other hand to support her waist and pull her into his arms, whereupon he felt her extreme softness.

Leonora Nakiri has an excellent figure, especially after becoming a wife and giving birth to Alice. No wonder Alice Nakiri had such a magnificent figure as soon as she entered the high school. It's all due to genetics!

"Um…"

A pleasant shampoo scent wafted to Bai Yuan's nose, and the roots of his hair, which his fingers touched, were still slightly damp.

If nothing unexpected happens, Leonora Nakiri should have just finished taking a shower!

The phrase "like a lotus emerging from water" is the perfect way to describe it!

Chapter 8 Food-Infused Clothes Destroyed! Phase Two: "Teaching"

"Are you alright, Nora?"

Bai Yuan placed the plate on the table and asked with concern. Because of their incomplete relationship, his hands remained very gentlemanly, only supporting Leonora Nakiri's waist and doing nothing else.

However, because Leonora fell downwards, she naturally placed her hand on his neck, so their faces were very close together.

"It's nothing. I just didn't expect your cooking to have reached this level. Glowing cuisine is a field that only top-level five-star chefs are qualified to explore."

As the tonkotsu ramen in front of her gradually returned to normal, Leonora Nakiri stood up, supporting herself on Bai Yuan's shoulder. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but as a mature woman, she naturally changed the subject.

"Top-tier five-star?"

Looking at Leonora Nakiri swallowing hard in front of him, Bai Yuan asked with some confusion, as he was indeed not very clear about the classification of chefs in this world.

"Don't you know? According to the World Culinary Association, chefs are systematically divided into six levels, from bottom to top: chef apprentice, third-class chef, second-class chef, first-class master chef, top-level chef (1-9 stars), and dragon chef."

Leaving aside the promotion methods for junior chefs, creating dishes that glow is a prerequisite for advancing to a five-star chef.

As they were talking, Leonora Nakiri arrived at the dining table. Looking at the incredibly fragrant tonkotsu ramen, she couldn't help but swallow.

"Try it and see if I meet your requirements."

Bai Yuan handed the chopsticks to Nakiri Leonora, his eyes burning with an inexplicable fighting spirit. He hadn't forgotten that this was a test she had given him.

Speaking of which, ever since he became Chef Lin and defeated many of his predecessors in the dark cuisine world, no one has dared to test him anymore.

During his first year of learning to cook, he would give tests almost every two days, and those who failed the tests would be punished severely!

I remember the first time he flipped the wok, he used too much force and knocked some sand out of the wok, for which he was whipped.

To avoid being whipped, he had to practice even harder than others until he had honed all the basic skills to perfection. Then he began to cook, and immediately displayed an astonishing talent.

After that, he mastered any dish he learned instantly, and his culinary skills improved every day. He quickly surpassed his contemporaries and became the youngest chef in the history of the Dark Cuisine world.

It only took less than two years to achieve this!

"Glug, no! I can't wait even a second longer..."

Ignoring Bai Yuan's words, and staring intently at the tonkotsu ramen in front of her, Nakiri Leonora picked up the chopsticks next to her, grabbed a mouthful of noodles, and wolfed them down as if she hadn't eaten for days.

The chewy, smooth noodles burst open in your mouth, the rich wheat aroma intertwining with just the right amount of chewiness.

Immediately afterwards, the rich broth made from pork bones flowed into my mouth like a gentle stream, a flavor that was indescribably mellow and profound.

The broth is infused with the essence of pork bones simmered for a long time, every drop brimming with the taste of time and the craftsman's dedication. It's not just savory, but also possesses an irresistible richness and sweetness, like the purest waves from the deep sea, or the warm sunshine of an autumn afternoon, gently enveloping every taste bud.

"Ah, um, ahhh!!!"

Finally, the intensely rich flavor made Nakiri Leonora let out a sound of extreme shame. In her mind's eye, her clothes had already burst open. Eating this mouthful of ramen felt like someone was whipping her with incredibly strong noodles, and each blow was just the right amount of force, giving her a strange feeling of excitement!

"The flavorful oil uses canola oil and lard. When the oil is heated to 50% of its maximum temperature, chopped onions and crushed garlic are added and fried until all the flavors are absorbed. Then, dried anchovies, chili powder, and white pepper powder are added and slowly fried at a low temperature. The umami flavor of the ingredients gradually infuses into the flavorful oil at a low temperature, spreading on the tip of the tongue and further emphasizing the rich flavor of the tonkotsu broth. It's truly an amazing masterpiece!"

After speaking such a long speech in one breath, Leonora Nakiri slumped in her chair, panting heavily. The scalding hot noodles brought a thin layer of sweat to her face, making her even more radiant and beautiful.

"The char siu pork tastes amazing. The marinade is made from a Japanese dashi broth simmered with kelp, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried anchovies, scallions, garlic, ginger, and bonito flakes. It's then mixed with soy sauce, sake, and mirin, resulting in an exceptionally rich flavor."

With an expression of extreme happiness on her face, Alice Nakiri's cheeks were flushed, and she kept chewing, looking just like a little hamster.

"Most of what you said is correct, but bonito flakes are not cooked in the broth. Instead, other ingredients are cooked first, and then the washed bonito flakes are placed in a strainer and poured over the ingredients to bring out their flavor."

In addition, the soy sauce portion uses three types: dark soy sauce, sashimi soy sauce, and light soy sauce. This layering creates a richer, more intense salty flavor. Besides sake and mirin, I also added a touch of sushi vinegar to enhance the sourness of the marinade.

Bai Yuan began to speak eloquently, and Nakiri Alice nodded seriously after listening, then turned her gaze to the soup bowl in front of her.

"Goooooooooo."

Holding the soup bowl, and taking big gulps of the tonkotsu broth, Alice Nakiri suddenly squeezed her legs together, and an astonishing pulse erupted from her small body.

"Ahhh!"

The next moment, the girl's clothes suddenly burst open, and the same happened to Leonora Nakiri next to her. Clothes fragments fell all over the ground. Shirai's cooking actually made the Nakiri family's clothes-bursting technique enter the second stage of teaching!

"Hey, really, stop staring at me like that!"

Somewhat shyly covering her chest, Leonora Nakiri looked at Bai Yuan with a slightly flushed face. Although he was young, he was still a boy, and staring at her like that would make her feel shy.

However, despite wanting to go upstairs to change clothes immediately, the food in front of her made her unable to move. Her body was frantically resisting leaving, and as she ate the ramen in big mouthfuls, her body gradually became hot.

Alice Nakiri is in the same situation, but compared to Leonora Nakiri's shyness, she seems much more carefree, eating ramen without any pretense, her face full of happiness.

"I'll go out for a bit. Call me back when you're done eating."

Seeing what was happening in front of him, Bai Yuan smiled awkwardly, then got up and quickly walked to the living room. Two bodyguards were guarding the door.

Although there was quite a commotion inside, they did not rush in. Unless the homeowner was in danger or received instructions, all they had to do was stand guard at the door.

Chapter 9 The Culinary Teacher, Shirabuchi's Plan

"What a little pervert."

Seeing Bai Yuan leave and close the door, Leonora Nakiri lowered her arm and breathed a sigh of relief, but the look in his eyes before he left still lingered in her mind.

I guess it was out of curiosity that I couldn't help but take a second look.

"However, the taste of this dish is definitely at the level of a master chef! Moreover, it is an extremely difficult dish to cook, a luminous dish. Who is this guy? I have never heard of such a young master chef before!"

Leonora Nakiri downed the broth of the ramen in front of her in one gulp, not even leaving a drop at the bottom of the bowl. Her face flushed, she gasped for breath, and it took her a while to recover before she fell into deep thought.

Bai Yuan's skill level is simply too high, so high that it's somewhat frightening, completely beyond what one should expect at his age.

It felt like everyone around him was learning that 1 plus 1 equals 2, while he had already started studying calculus, which was truly unbelievable.

"Mom, can I ask Bai Yuan to be my teacher?"

After finishing her tonkotsu ramen, Alice Nakiri raised her young face to look at Leonora Nakiri, her eyes filled with anticipation.

In just one day, she felt she had learned more than she had in the past few years. If she could study under Bai Yuan, her cooking skills would definitely improve by leaps and bounds! Then she could surpass Erina and put on a superior attitude to mock her weakness!

"Alice, how much do you know about this person?"

As she spoke, Leonora looked at Alice with a slightly serious expression.

"Bai Yuan? As I mentioned before, I saw him being bullied by three burly men in front of a restaurant this morning. He seemed very..."

Upon hearing her mother's question, Alice Nakiri pondered for a moment before recounting how she met Shiro Awaken. She never imagined that the little beggar she had picked up at random would turn out to be such a skilled chef!

"How could a master chef have fallen to such a state, and then be saved by you? However... although his identity is still in doubt, I can clearly sense from his cooking that he is not a bad person at heart."

Looking at the empty bowl of noodles in front of her, Leonora Nakiri let out a long sigh and said, "Cooking is the embodiment of a chef's spirit."

Although Baiyuan's cuisine has a strong aggressive flavor, it is generally positive and uplifting, leaving a lingering aftertaste and demonstrating his exceptional skill.

"Then let him stay!"

Alice Nakiri looked at Leonora Nakiri with anticipation, and as she spoke, she reached out and hugged her arm, gently shaking it in a coquettish manner.

"Since you like him so much, then let him stay. To be honest, it's a bit of a waste of his talent to have such a skilled chef as your culinary instructor. If you can persuade him to stay."

Thinking of Bai Yuan's superb culinary skills, Nakiri Leonora couldn't help but chuckle. In truth, even if they were willing, the final decision still rested with him.

Such highly skilled master chefs are rarely willing to teach a novice apprentice, unless they are related or have a superior-subordinate relationship.

"Don't worry, Bai Yuan has already agreed to it!"

Upon hearing that Leonora Nakiri had given in, Alice Nakiri immediately jumped up happily, her face beaming with joy.

"So it was all planned out in advance?"

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Leonora Nakiri stroked her chin with a knowing look. It seemed that the Nakiri family was about to become quite lively.

Because the Nakiri International Research Group was just starting out, Zong Wei might not even go home once a month. The huge villa was empty except for the mother and daughter. She had research to do and her days were quite fulfilling, but Alice was the problem. She had just arrived in Denmark and didn't have any friends. All she could do was cook, and to be honest, she was quite lonely.

"Alright, let's go upstairs and change. Is Bai Yuan's room next to yours?"

Seeing Alice Nakiri jumping and skipping around in celebration, Leonora Nakiri grabbed her little hand and led her upstairs.

"can!"

That night, Bai Yuan moved next door to Nakiri Alice. Since all he had were a few tattered clothes, there was nothing to tidy up. He went straight to bed as soon as he arrived at the room.

"Alice is only seven years old now, and it will be at least seven more years before she returns to Totsuki Culinary Arts. Furthermore, we haven't seen Kurokiba Ryo yet..."

Based on Alice Nakiri's age, Hakuyuan briefly organized the timeline and decided to stay here for a while.

He has many problems right now: he is too thin and has no money. His internal strength is okay, but only at the level of an average martial arts master. At most, he can improve his cooking skills and can deal with four or five burly men at the same time.

Not enough! This is far from enough!

He must develop a strong enough physique and further improve his internal strength so that he can travel the martial world with peace of mind.

Although this world seems much safer than the world of "Cooking Master Boy," and is completely dominated by chefs, with skilled chefs even able to influence politics and instill fear in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, Bai Yuan still prefers to believe in his own strength.

After all, back in the dark cuisine world, almost every famous chef was a martial arts master, especially Leopard Head Yakan, whose internal strength was so profound that he could even ignite the Yangtze River to cook.

"Bang bang bang."

Just as Bai Yuan was lost in his memories of the past, there was a knock on the door, and then Alice Nakiri walked in wearing a white lace nightgown.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep tonight and want me to keep you company?"

Upon seeing the sudden arrival of Alice Nakiri, a look of surprise flashed across Bai Yuan's face, but he still spoke in a half-joking manner.

"There's one thing I want to ask: when you were making the bacon and onions this morning, why did the ingredients automatically fly into the pot?"

Please answer this question, or I won't be able to sleep tonight!

After hesitating for a moment, Alice Nakiri finally asked the question that had been bothering her. She couldn't help but think of the scene of Shirai cutting vegetables whenever she closed her eyes, and she really wouldn't be able to sleep if she didn't find out the answer!

"That's actually about quickly lifting the knife while cutting vegetables, creating a 'flicking' force, which can fling away the food that's stuck to the blade due to moisture."

As for why it ends up in the pot, that involves the concept of practice makes perfect. I can feel the weight of each ingredient, thus adjusting the pressure applied to them to ensure precise placement.
