Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Close your eyes and savor the experience; the phrase "unforgettable" is an understatement!

"what"

With her face flushed, Kobayashi Rindou parted her lips slightly and let out an incredibly alluring moan. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes became incredibly dreamy.

This feeling is like swimming freely in the ocean, and suddenly discovering a forest underwater, like a paradise.

Inside, pigs were running around, there were lush bamboo groves and an acre of scallions, and countless shrimp were swimming in the air, searching for food. She was currently in the midst of these shrimp, who noticed her and kept burrowing into her body, kissing every part of her skin, making her moan softly.

"Fresh, fragrant, tender, smooth, and crisp—the various textures intertwine and form an inseparable relationship, a truly exquisite and perfect combination!"

At the same time, Tsukasa Eishi also came up, picked up a shrimp dumpling from the steamer, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it.

A variety of flavors flashed through his mind, constantly bombarding his brain like shooting stars, giving him an exceptionally strong taste experience.

"What an amazing creation! With just simple cooking, the dish can produce a shimmering effect, achieving something that countless culinary predecessors could not!"

Satoshi Isshiki savored the delicious flavors bursting in his mouth, and after a long while, he finally spoke with envy.

It's truly hard to imagine that such an amazing work could be created so effortlessly...

Before meeting Bai Yuan, he always thought that to cook dishes that glowed or even shimmered, one had to use recipes with enough creativity.

Unexpectedly, ordinary, everyday dishes can be cooked into dishes of dazzling brilliance!

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If popular dishes weren't delicious enough, they wouldn't have survived for thousands of years and still be around today!

"Alright, the rest is up to you."

Following my method, as long as there are no major mistakes, with your skills, you should be able to create a top-grade dish.

Go and experience it. The only thing you need to remember is to govern them, not to fulfill their desires.

As they spoke, Bai Yuan turned his gaze to Si Yingshi and left the cooking station, giving him the space to do his thing.

"To rule..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Si Yingshi murmured to himself, looking at the many ingredients in front of him. At this moment, it seemed as if whispers were entering his ears.

He can hear it.

He could hear it with absolute certainty.

He could hear the ingredients whispering, pleading, and telling him how they wanted to be cooked.

Please cook me by stir-frying.

"Please make me into dumpling filling."

"Please render me into lard."

"I don't want any changes. Please just mix me into the rice, so that I can be inseparable from Miss Soy Sauce."

"Please..."

A cacophony of sounds filled his ears, causing Tsukasa Eishi to furrow his brow and halt in his hand movements.

Finally, he simply closed his eyes, reached out his hand, and a kitchen knife appeared in his hand. The sound in his ears grew louder and louder until he could no longer hear who was speaking.

Only one voice remained in my mind.

"Please turn me into a shrimp dumpling!"

Upon hearing a sound from some unknown ingredient, Tsukasa Eishi opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

Immediately afterwards, Isshiki Satoshi and Kobayashi Rindou saw him take action quickly.

Although Bai Yuan's movements were slower than before, they were swift and decisive, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.

However, as the speed increased, problems were also exposed to Bai Yuan.

The knife skills were a bit lacking, and the way the filling was kneaded and the way the shrimp dumplings were wrapped were also somewhat flawed. However, for a student, this was already very impressive.

Without comparison, Isshiki Satoshi and Kobayashi Rindou would definitely exclaim, "Tsukasa Eishi's cooking skills have improved again!"

However, given Bai Yuan's earlier display of even more impressive culinary skills, the two of them showed no surprise at this moment.

He could only sigh to himself, "Indeed, it's not an easy thing to process every ingredient with such meticulous care."

Even this renowned genius could only process ingredients to this extent; there's still a vast gap between his skill and true mastery.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Bai Yuan silently counted down in his mind, judging when the shrimp dumplings in the steamer would be cooked, while observing Si Yingshi's actions to see if he could open the steamer in time.

finally...

"If you open the steamer for more than ten seconds, the skin will be too soft and the texture will be a bit lacking. I'll pay attention to that next time."

As Shigeyuki took action and opened the steamer lid, Shiro's voice rang out, and he looked at the steamer in front of him.

The shrimp dumplings are crystal clear, with thin skin and generous filling, exuding a rich and complex aroma. As soon as the steamer is opened, the fragrance instantly fills the entire kitchen.

"It smells so good! It's even more tempting than Teacher Bai Yuan's shrimp dumplings..."

Smelling the aroma in the air, Kobayashi Rindou couldn't help but sigh, "However, although it smells tempting, it doesn't have the same fatal attraction as Master Hakugen's shrimp dumplings!"

Recalling the feelings that Shirai's cooking had given her, Kobayashi Rindou added further explanation.

The shrimp dumplings at Baiyuan don't have an overpowering aroma, but once you smell them, they have a strange allure that makes you unwilling to leave, even if it means dying.

Although the aroma of the one in front of me was incredibly tempting, I was able to control myself by suppressing my desires.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

The people present weren't fools; they had a basic ability to judge the quality of food.

"The taste is acceptable, and it has reached the level of a top-grade product."

The proportions between the ingredients are very well done. It would be even better to add 5 grams more pork fat and 1 gram less lard.

You listened carefully to the ingredients, and instead of acting according to their raw desires, you orchestrated a comprehensive approach, ensuring your own ideas remained dominant.

Savoring the delicious food, Bai Yuan couldn't help but praise it.

"However, the control over various details is generally average."

The shrimp wasn't beaten vigorously enough, resulting in insufficient gelatinization. Too little umami sauce was added to the pork fat, making it overly greasy. These are some of the more obvious problems.

After praising, he should analyze the shortcomings, which is what he should do as a teacher. Blindly praising students will only make them proud and complacent.

"So that's how it is. There were so many shortcomings..."

Please let me try again! Teacher Bai Yuan.

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's analysis and comparing the taste of the two shrimp dumplings, Si Yingshi pondered for a moment, then looked up at him with eager anticipation.

"We don't have much time right now, so I can't waste your time. You can cook it yourself when you get back. You can buy these ingredients at the market."

Now it's my turn to shine, you all just wait on the sidelines. But after eating my food, you can't do without putting in the corresponding effort, so please think carefully before you taste it.

Stepping to the kitchen counter, Bai Yuan shooed Si Yingshi away, not letting him continue working, because that would be a waste of his time.

He has already taught him the method; the rest is up to Tsukasa Eishi.

Cooking is not something that can be mastered overnight; it requires a lot of time. Practicing once more or once less won't have a significant impact.

"I understand, Professor Bai Yuan."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Si Yingshi suppressed his strong urge to cook and bowed slightly to him respectfully.

He could tell whether going back to cook or watching Bai Yuan cook now was more important.

I'll audit some classes in the elementary school later; Professor Baiyuan shouldn't mind his presence.

However, I really envy this year's elementary school students. With Bai Yuan around, the next batch of students who will be promoted to the advanced school will probably be incredibly strong, after all, they survived from this man's hands.

But that's just perfect!

Once the two senior students graduate, he will have no rivals left in Totsuki. It would be a good thing for him if Bai Yuan could cultivate some competitors for him.

He enjoys cooking duels, especially against skilled cooks. He doesn't think weaklings are worth his time, so he needs strong opponents!

"Ok.

"You've arrived, find a place to rest."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan looked toward the doorway and then walked over.

At this moment, Kikuchi Sonoka appeared outside carrying large and small bags of ingredients, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and body, and her clothes outlining her curves.

While Tsukasa Eishi was cooking, Kikuchi Sonoka sent a message to Shirabuchi saying that she had arrived, so he asked her to bring up some ingredients.

Unexpectedly, Kikuchi Yoko had both hands full of fruit. Although the hotel had an elevator, it was still quite a distance from the warehouse to his place.

This guy is really going all out.

"Okay, Professor Bai Yuan."

"Tsukasa, Kobayashi, and Isshiki, you're all here! It's been a long time."

Seeing Bai Yuan take the bag of groceries from her hand, Mujichi Sonoka smiled sweetly, feeling a warm glow inside.

She then looked at the other people in the kitchen, and Kikuchi Sonoka's expression was somewhat surprised.

Clearly, she hadn't expected that Bai Yuan knew the other Ten Heroes, and that three of them would arrive at once.

"Damn it, I'm not the only one!"

Kikuchi Yoko thought to herself, quite annoyed.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems normal. Bai Yuan's cooking skills are respected no matter where he is.

It's perfectly normal that the Ten Heroes are willing to get close to him!

Rather, it would be crazy to not want to get close to him.

"Long time no see, Kikuchi-senpai! By the way, are you back from Hokkaido? I thought you were going to continue your travels."

Upon seeing Kikuchi Sonoka, Kobayashi Rindou looked somewhat surprised. He then strode forward and greeted her warmly, suggesting they had a good relationship.

"I'm not leaving for now, after all, my best teacher is here."

As Kikuchi Sonoka spoke, she reached out and hugged Shiroyuki's arm, pressing her ample breasts against it, her voice filled with ambiguous emotions.

At the same time, she raised her head and looked gently at Bai Yuan's face, while Bai Yuan lowered his head and met her gaze, which made her heart beat faster.

"I see."
