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

Bai Yuan nodded secretly as he watched this scene. This little girl's basic skills are good. As long as she can overcome her psychological barrier, she is no weaker than anyone else!

"Teacher Bai Yuan, I've finished cooking. Please enjoy."

Just as Bai Yuan was about to leave and return to the podium to rest after watching for a while, Nakiri Erina's voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Okay, bring it up."

Bai Yuan waved his hand but did not stop. He went forward and sat down in his seat, while Nakiri Erina brought over the dishes and placed them in front of him.

"You replaced the shredded winter bamboo shoots with shredded green and red peppers, which retained the crispness of the shredded pork with fish-fragrant sauce while adding a touch of sweetness."

Looking at the dishes in front of him, Bai Yuan didn't rush to taste them. Instead, he took a deep breath and then gave his routine comments.

"The ingredients for the fish-fragrant sauce were adjusted according to the composition of the dish. If I'm not mistaken, you used butter when you cooked this dish, right? And you also added white wine."

Bai Yuan calmly looked at Nakiri Erina; with his super sense of smell, he only needed to twitch his nose to grasp all the details of the dish.

In other words, at this moment, Erina Nakiri is completely open in front of him!

"That's right, I pondered the question you gave me, and combined it with what I had learned before, while consuming butter and white wine."

Butter and white wine can add a touch of milk and fruitiness to shredded pork with garlic sauce, without overpowering the other flavors.

Furthermore, the silky smoothness of the butter complements the tenderness of the shredded meat perfectly, while the freshness of the white wine creates a wonderful contrast with the richness of the fish-fragrant sauce.

Although she was surprised that Bai Yuan could tell her cooking method just by smelling it, she accepted it after considering that he was likely a seven-star chef.

"This approach is indeed quite novel, combining what you've learned before with what you're learning now, which might be a good transition."

As Bai Yuan spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and scooped up shredded meat, shredded green and red peppers, and shredded wood ear mushrooms, stuffing them all into his mouth at once.

Close your eyes, and the first thing you'll feel is the tenderness of the shredded pork, the crispness of the green and red peppers, and the soft and glutinous texture of the wood ear mushrooms, followed by the rich flavor of the fish-fragrant sauce.

With a perfect balance of sweet and sour, and a hint of spiciness and numbing sensation, it combines the traditional Sichuan fish flavor with the meticulous control of seasonings found in French cuisine.

"The idea is pretty good, but it's a bit lacking in execution."

Since you've chosen to add something new, then you need to integrate it into the overall flavor, rather than letting the flavor stand alone. Do you understand what I mean?

Putting down his chopsticks, Bai Yuan looked at Nakiri Erina with a serious expression, pointed out the problem, and truly adopted the demeanor of a teacher.

His main purpose in coming to Totsuki Academy was to teach the original Food Wars! protagonists so that they could become a little stronger, thus preventing Alice's high school life from becoming too boring or even a waste of time.

Especially the pretty girls in Food Wars, they are of utmost importance.

Start with teaching and gradually deepen the interaction.

Yes, we were talking about discussing cooking skills.

"Let the flavors blend in, rather than stand out..."

Bai Yuan's words made Nakiri Erina fall into deep thought, her mind racing.

"Is it mainly about the fusion of flavors in the dishes?"

Erina Nakiri wasn't stupid. She picked up her chopsticks and tasted the food on her plate, quickly understanding the true meaning of Hakubuchi's words.

"That's right, you're too concerned about the extra flavors that are presented."

While the creamy aroma of butter and the fragrance of white wine are indeed enticing, if they are too pronounced, they can disrupt the overall harmony of the dish's flavors.

Bai Yuan's face showed an expression of appreciation, and he continued, "As expected of someone with the God Tongue talent, he understood it after just a little guidance!"

"I understand, Professor Bai Yuan. Please let me make another one!"

Erina Nakiri picked up her chopsticks and ate all the food in front of her, just as Shirabuchi had written on the blackboard.

Only after he has finished eating the food I made can I make the next dish for him to try.

Anyone who dares to waste food, get out of the classroom immediately!

"Go."

Seeing the spirited Erina Nakiri, Bai Yuan simply waved his hand and then turned his gaze to Hisako Shinto, who was walking behind her.

"Then, bring out your work!"

"Yes, Professor Bai Yuan."

Bai Yuan looked at the girl in front of him, or more accurately, at the dishes in front of her.

The ingredients for the dish were the same as those for his shredded pork with garlic sauce, but the aroma in the air had changed significantly.

"Did you soak the herbs in the sauce? But you must have prepared an extra bowl of sauce."

First, use a clay pot to simmer the medicinal herbs to extract their properties, then use a cooking method to infuse the flavor of the herbs into the shredded pork with fish-fragrant sauce. Am I right?

Bai Yuan's voice rang out, carrying a slightly strange tone. It wasn't until Hisako Shinto placed the dish in front of him that he reached out with his chopsticks to pick it up and examine it.

"That's right, I want to combine what I've learned to make Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce) have nourishing effects, achieving the effect of medicinal cuisine."

Looking at the blushing girl in front of him, Bai Yuan did not put the food into his mouth, but silently put down his chopsticks.

“I can roughly understand your thoughts, but the cooking of medicinal cuisine is not something that can be done so simply and crudely. Your dish is a typical example, focusing only on the word ‘medicinal’ while completely ignoring the word ‘culinary’.”

Seeing the slightly stunned girl, Bai Yuan continued speaking without hesitation.

"When I was traveling in Guangzhou, I met an old man who was very good at making soup, which, upon closer reflection, could be considered a kind of medicinal cuisine."

Because he adds many medicinal herbs to his soup, giving it a nourishing effect that can help sick people recover quickly.

However, even though he added a lot of medicinal herbs, the people who ate it could not taste the bitterness of the herbs at all. The soup was only delicious and made people unable to stop drinking it.

I went to him for a while to learn how to make good soup, and he told me that the most important thing is patience and meticulousness.

I never believed such things, but after much pleading and exchanging ideas, I finally got some secret medicinal recipes from him.

After studying the recipes, I discovered that the key to medicinal cuisine lies in the harmony between the medicinal properties, and in how cooking methods can transform bitterness and astringency into flavor, thus enhancing the taste of the cooked dishes.

Looking at the clear-eyed girl in front of him, Bai Yuan suppressed the urge to smash all the shredded pork with garlic sauce in front of him and instead slowly began to talk about the way of medicinal cuisine.

So-called medicinal cuisine mainly focuses on dietary therapy, aiming to enhance physical fitness and become healthier by enjoying delicious food.

The most important part of medicinal cuisine is not the medicine, but the "cuisine" part; otherwise, it would be better to just take medicine directly.

It's clear that Hisako Shinto hasn't grasped the true meaning of medicinal cuisine.

"I guarantee that after eating this shredded pork with garlic sauce, the aftertaste will definitely be slightly bitter. This dish is undoubtedly a failure."

If I were you, even if I really wanted to add medicinal herbs to this dish, I would only choose herbs with a similar flavor to those used in Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce), not just throw them in indiscriminately. It would be strange if they tasted good that way! Hold out your hand.

Bai Yuan solemnly picked up the ruler beside him, and Hisako Shinto was stunned when she heard his words, but still obediently stretched out her hand.

"Clap"

The ruler struck her palm with a crisp sound, causing the girl to gasp in pain, but she did not flinch.

"Eat all the food you made, and then make it again as I tell you!"

Bai Yuan's expression was stern, but in his heart he was marveling at his own gentleness. Under normal circumstances, he would have smashed the plate into Hisako's face long ago.

If those aspiring masters of culinary disasters saw this, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets, and they'd probably lament his favoritism.

However, there are differences between the two.

The reserve members of the dark cuisine world on the Loulin ship all carried grudges to varying degrees, and were recruited by Bai Yuan by chance.

They all wanted to become stronger quickly and take revenge, which is why they asked Bai Yuan to be as strict with them as possible.

As the leader of the Dark Cuisine world, Bai Yuan naturally couldn't refuse such a request and always trained them to the highest standards.

At Totsuki Academy, Hakugen completely adopted a relaxed, retirement-like demeanor, giving the impression that he had been busy for so long and could finally take a break.

Of course, this only applies to large classes. As for the private lessons to come, he will show them what strictness really means!

We'll only recruit female students then.

"Yes! I'll go try again right away!"

The pain in her palm woke Hisako Shinoto, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she nodded seriously in agreement.

After quickly finishing the shredded pork with garlic sauce in front of him, he jogged back to the cooking station and started cooking as Bai Yuan had instructed.

Combining medicinal cuisine with traditional dishes is inherently very difficult; even top-level chefs may not be able to do it well, let alone her.

Failure, failure, endless failure!

Redo it, redo it, keep redoing it!

Hisako Shirato seemed to be bewitched, constantly experimenting at her cooking station, frying and eating each dish until she could eat no more.

"Fei Sha..."

Seeing Hisako Shirato unleash her culinary frenzy, Erina Nakiri's eyes revealed a hint of worry, but she did not step forward.

This was the path Hisako chose herself, and she couldn't interfere. All she could do was stay behind her and offer encouragement and support when Hisako was tired.

"call…"

"Teacher, this is my dish."

After failing several times and trying again, Erina Nakiri placed her latest dish in front of Shirabuchi, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"You still need more control over the heat. You'll need to practice more on your own. But you've improved a lot since the beginning, so I'll consider you a pass."

As he savored Erina Nakiri's cooking, Shirabuchi nodded and smiled.

His words shocked the students around them who were watching him, eager to see his evaluation.

"As expected of Erina! With a top-tier talent like the God Tongue, she even managed to pass this teacher's cooking test!"

“I am guilty.”

I initially thought the teacher was deliberately trying to prevent us from passing because of our initial offense, but it turns out I'm just too incompetent. How embarrassing!

"Ugh! Just what level do I need to reach to pass?! Professor Baiyuan's test seems even stricter than Professor Shapel's!"

The fact that the first person passed smoothly caused a huge uproar at the scene, with many people looking at Erina Nakiri with envy, because she had stood out.

Next, she can enjoy Bai Yuan's cooking all by herself, a dish that is so delicious that it makes you want to linger just by looking at it!

"Does this just mean you passed...?"

Compared to the envy of others, Erina Nakiri felt somewhat disappointed.

If her stomach hadn't already reached its limit, she would have immediately eaten the food in front of her and then cooked another pot!
