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

Therefore, the uniforms for top-level chefs today are all handmade by professional tailors we found, during your competition.

Seeing the surprised expressions on Bai Yuan and Jin Lanyu's faces, the skillful old woman explained, because there were just too many people complaining about this.

"I see. That explains why it's a little different from what I remembered."

Bai Yuan nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter, but the skillful old woman said at that moment, "You should put it together."

"Yes."

Immediately, Bai Yuan was changed by Jin Lanyu on the spot. Since only one layer needed to be put on the outside, there was no need to avoid it.

Soon, the two changed into their chef's uniforms and stood before everyone, looking radiant.

"This is the dragon-shaped armband worn by a top-level Chinese chef? It's really beautiful!"

Seeing Bai Yuan put on the clothes of a top-level chef, Lia appeared beside him at some point and gently touched the dragon-shaped armband on his shoulder.

In the end, she even pressed her face against it, feeling the texture, her face full of enjoyment.

"You look really good in this, Teacher Bai Yuan."

Kikuchi Sonoka praised from the side, saying that Bai Yuan's height of about 1.8 meters, combined with this tailor-made top-grade chef's uniform, greatly enhanced his overall temperament, making people's hearts race.

"Indeed, I never expected you to have such a handsome side."

A look of amazement flashed in Kakuzaki Taki's eyes. It is said that clothes make the man and the horse makes the horse. After changing into nice clothes, Bai Yuan gave her a different feeling.

"Listen up, you two. Being a top-level chef is just an ornament. For you two, passing this test is just a process. To further improve your skills, you must continue to study and refine your craft."

As the group was talking, the skillful old woman's voice suddenly rang out. Looking in their direction, she spoke earnestly.

"Yes."

Bai Yuan and Jin Lanyu responded in unison, saying that they would do the same without a doubt, as the so-called top-level chef was not the pinnacle.

After obtaining the title of Master Chef, becoming a Master Chef becomes the starting point. Next, they will climb towards even higher peaks!

Seeing the determined expressions on their faces, the skillful old woman nodded inwardly, then turned to leave, as she had something important to do.

"A skillful old lady."

Bai Yuan's voice suddenly rang out in the arena, causing Granny Qiaoshou to stop in her tracks and look at him with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know if you have any time recently, I'd like to exchange ideas with you and have a little discussion about dim sum dishes."

The boy looked at the skilled old woman with burning eyes, as if he were looking at a rare treasure, but his gaze sent a chill down the old woman's spine.

Oh no, this wave is coming for me!

Chapter 71 The Real Purpose of Coming to Guangzhou

"Exchanges are fine, but let's forget about sparring. My old bones can't take this kind of strain. However, if you ever want to achieve something, it's not impossible for me to be your stepping stone."

The skillful old woman smiled and shook her head, refusing to accept Bai Yuan's challenge.

She hadn't accepted a challenge from anyone for many years, and naturally, she couldn't accept something like winning being taken for granted and losing being ridiculed.

Of course, more importantly, she couldn't see through Bai Yuan. She originally thought he was just a chef with a little talent, but it seems that this is not the case.

How far will this genius, who can effortlessly create luminous dishes, go in the future? And what level is he at now?

"Is that so? That's a real shame."

Hearing the skillful old woman's firm words, Bai Yuan's face showed a regretful expression. Why were they all like this? Not a single one of them was willing to compete with him! The more skilled a person is, the more afraid they are of competing?

The image of Master Baiyao flashed through his mind. It seemed that the other party had said he would only fight him after he broke through to the fifth level of the Special Grade, which meant that he wasn't qualified enough yet?

Honestly, why bother with these empty titles!

When you encounter a suitable opponent, shouldn't you go straight to the ring and fight with all your might to improve your culinary skills?

"I have something to attend to now, so I'll take my leave."

Thinking about what she had to do next, the skillful old woman quickened her pace and left, leaving the others standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

Although Bai Yuan's desire to challenge Granny Qiaoshou, a veteran powerhouse, seemed outrageous, no one at the scene thought he was arrogant; on the contrary, they thought it was perfectly reasonable.

This is something Baekyeon would do.

At the same time, the main gate of the arena slowly opened, and everyone turned their attention to the sound. Several figures were waiting at the entrance.

"It's you! What brings you here?"

Bai Yuan looked at Li Wanwan and the others waiting at the door with a somewhat surprised expression.

After all, they didn't have much interaction, so they really didn't expect that they would wait for him at the door, and it seemed that they had been waiting for quite a while.

"Of course I came to wait for you! You... you really passed the master chef exam?"

Wang Wanqing, standing behind Li Wanwan, immediately noticed the top-level chef's armband on Bai Yuan's body. She covered her mouth in shock, her face filled with disbelief.

"A 19-year-old master chef is an extremely rare find, even in all of China. I never imagined you could actually do it!"

Upon hearing Wang Wanqing's words, Li Wanwan also noticed the armband on Bai Yuan's arm, where a lifelike dragon was coiled, firmly locking the word "Special Gift" inside.

Without a doubt, this is the armband of a master chef!

"He actually passed..."

Looking at the dragon-shaped armband, Hojo Miyoko's face flushed slightly, and she looked quite shocked.

Although we know Bai Yuan might be very strong, passing the top-level chef exam at the age of 19, especially in Guangzhou, which is said to be the most difficult in history, is just too exaggerated!

Even at Totsuki Academy, only Dojima Gin, who graduated more than ten years ago and achieved the highest score in the history of the academy, has received this honor!

Now, Dojima is the head chef of the Totsuki Culinary Resort, a four-star chef! And he's only 35 years old this year, with a very promising future for promotion!

"Simply put, it's a mere top-level assessment. I can easily handle it."

Seeing the two of them looking surprised, Bai Yuan shrugged speechlessly. For him, participating in the top-level assessment was no different from playing around.

"You're bragging. You must have gone through a lot of tests and finally passed with great difficulty! Just passing is already amazing. We won't laugh at your efforts."

Wang Wanqing pursed her lips, thinking that Bai Yuan was bragging. Guangzhou is recognized as the most difficult place in China to assess a master chef.

Even if Bai Yuan passed the test, it must have been by giving it his all, using his passion to move the judges. It couldn't have been as simple as he claimed.

Bai Yuan simply shrugged at this, offering no further explanation.

"It's a really imposing armband. My dad has one too, but he won't even let me touch it. He usually keeps it locked in his study."

Li Wanwan lightly touched the top chef's armband with her fingers, her eyes filled with intense envy. This was the goal she was willing to strive for her whole life!

"Bai Yuan, as we agreed earlier, could I borrow your clothes for a moment?"

Suddenly, a sweet voice rang in Bai Yuan's ears, startling both Bai Yuan and Li Wanwan.

The girl was speaking French, which only Bai Yuan could understand, while Li Wanwan looked completely bewildered.

"Take it and wear it, but I won't give you the pants."

As Bai Yuan spoke, he took off his top-level chef's coat and, to everyone's surprise, casually tossed it to Liya, who was waiting nearby.

Lia took the clothes and immediately put them on. Some of Bai Yuan's body heat still lingered on them, but she didn't care. Feeling the warmth of the top-grade chef's uniform, an excited blush appeared on her face.

"How could you lend such important clothes to someone else? And then let her wear them..."

Watching Liya, dressed in a top-tier chef's coat, walk around, striking poses and constantly taking pictures of her cool poses with her phone, Li Wanwan tugged at Bai Yuan's arm and whispered in his ear.

"It's not anything particularly important. Clothes are just decorations for a master chef. Does losing these clothes mean I'm no longer a master chef? That's unlikely."

Looking at Li Wanwan's anxious expression, Bai Yuan was a little confused. Was this girl taking external things too seriously? That wasn't good.

"Isn't it important...?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's answer, Li Wanwan's expression froze, and she began to mutter to herself, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you how your exam went yet. Did you pass it smoothly? And what about Miyoko? Did she perfectly cook her 18th dish this time?"

Thinking that Li Wanwan and Hojo Miyoko were also there to participate in the chef level assessment, Bai Yuan looked up at their faces and asked.

"No... I had absolutely no clue about that theme, and the dish I made in the end deviated too much from the theme, so it was eliminated."

"I passed, and I performed quite well. The judges even said that if I hone my skills for another three years, I can start participating in the first-class chef assessment."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's question, Li Wanwan immediately wilted, her eyes revealing a deeper sense of confusion. Meanwhile, Hojo Miyoko was in high spirits, talking incessantly, completely oblivious to the bitter expression that had settled on the person beside her.

"In that case, let's have special training. I'll be staying in Guangzhou for a while, and I'll guide you as much as I can during that time."

The guidance from a master chef is something you can't buy anywhere else, no matter how much money you have. So you all need to study hard during this time.

Seeing the girl's confused expression, and remembering that he still had things to do in Guangzhou, Bai Yuan suggested that he could get closer to the girl.

Wealth nourishes people.

None of the girls present were unattractive; each possessed a unique beauty. If this were in his past life, they would have been the kind of girls everyone would fight tooth and nail to pursue! How could he not be tempted?

Of course, even more important is Li Wanwan's father. As a local bigwig in Guangzhou and a top-tier three-star chef, he might be able to help her find what she's looking for.

However... this is not the world of "Cooking Master Boy," and whether the legendary cooking utensils exist here is actually unknown.

At least, he had never heard of any such rumors. Even after making a deliberate inquiry, no one had ever heard of the legendary kitchenware.

But since he had already come to Guangzhou, it seemed unreasonable not to do his research properly, which was why he decided to stay here for a while.

"You'd like to mentor us? How much per hour?!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Li Wanwan opened her mouth in surprise and asked with great interest, "This is a top-level chef! There are fewer than thirty top-level chefs in the entire Guangdong Province!"

"Just pay the market price."

Bai Yuan said casually that he hadn't originally planned to charge money, but since Li Wanwan brought it up, he would just charge a token amount, otherwise they wouldn't feel at ease learning.

"But I don't have that much money... Even a little guidance from a master chef costs a fortune."

"Then I'll give you whatever you're capable of. I'm willing to teach you because we're destined to meet, not because I want your money. All you need to do is have the heart."

"I have over a million yuan in savings right now. If you're willing to teach me, I can give it all to you as my apprenticeship fee!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Li Wanwan did not hesitate at all. This was the money she had saved since she was a child. Because her family was quite strict, she had only managed to save this much.

"That's enough. Then arrange a house for me that's not too far away, preferably with a large kitchen, otherwise it won't be easy for me to work out."

Bai Yuan nodded, then made a new request. He had already passed the top-level assessment, so continuing to stay in a hotel would be a waste.

Moreover, the hotel room didn't have a kitchen, and it was impossible for Li Wanwan and the others to come over; he didn't want to spend a lot of time commuting every day.

"Leave this to me. I bought a villa near Wanwan's house. It's over a thousand square meters, and the kitchen alone takes up a hundred square meters. Wanwan often does her special training there!"
