Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

He prefers to pick up the food and eat it directly rather than using a knife, fork, or chopsticks. It's more convenient, and it tastes better too.

"I'm gonna start now."

Seeing Bai Yuan's rough movements, Alice Nakiri, unusually, did not use a knife and fork, but put them aside and picked up the bone-in steak with her hand and took a bite.

The next moment, her eyes lit up, whether from the reflection of the shimmering steak or from genuine happiness, it was hard to tell.

"The carefully pan-fried beef short ribs have a golden and crispy exterior that locks in the juices, while the meat inside is tender and juicy, with a rich beef flavor and a subtle grilled aroma."

The Maillard reaction creates an enticing caramel layer on the surface of the steak, adding complexity to the flavor.

The pressure cooking process makes the beef more tender, and the marrow in the bones and the fat in the meat fully blend with the seasonings, creating a rich aroma of meat and bones.

In addition, the beef short ribs absorbed the aromas of red wine, Italian vinegar, chicken broth, and various herbs, resulting in a richer overall flavor with a slightly sweet and sour taste and a hint of cinnamon spiciness.

As she savored the taste, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but sing, her body trembling from the delicious sensation.

Thinking about what was about to happen, Alice Nakiri did not suppress the impulse that arose in her heart, but instead released it to her heart's content.

In an instant, the shockwave spread throughout the room, engulfing the two people present.

This caused Bai Yuan's clothes to rip, and Nakiri Alice to appear in her most primitive form, but neither of them cared.

"The creamy mushroom stew, as a sauce, has a delicate and smooth texture and a rich creamy mushroom flavor that perfectly complements the beef short ribs."

The addition of avocado makes the sauce smoother and gives it a unique fruity aroma, which intertwines with the flavor of creamy mushrooms to create a refreshing yet rich taste!

The balsamic vinegar sauce adds a bright touch of sourness to the dish, creating a striking contrast with the rich flavor of the beef.

The final addition of chopped bacon and parsley not only enhances the dish's color but also brings a savory and refreshing aroma, making the overall flavor more complete and complex.

Scrape a little sauce from the bottom of the plate with your finger, put it in your mouth and savor it carefully. Alice Nakiri quickly analyzed the composition of the flavor.

As a top-level chef, and having received training from Bai Yuan since childhood, her sense of taste, even if not as good as the God's Tongue, is already almost on par.

At least in its initial state, God Tongue would be hard to surpass the current Alice Nakiri.

"That's right, I learned this dish from a Western chef in Shanghai."

I tried it once at his restaurant, and it took me two tries to recreate it before I succeeded. Later, I made some slight improvements.

What you are eating now is my improved version.

Seeing the satisfaction in the girl's eyes, Bai Yuan smiled slightly and said.

"So it turns out the amount was adjusted by Brother Baiyuan. Brother Baiyuan, would you like to try what the sauce tastes like when mixed together?"

As she spoke, Alice Nakiri scooped up a smear of sauce with her finger and smeared it on herself, looking at him with a shy and timid tone.

Alice Nakiri didn't know why she was being so bold today, but she knew she wanted to make Bai Yuan happy.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Seeing this, Bai Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed, then he put his hands together and said a standard pre-meal greeting, silently moving the round table in front of him away.

"Teacher Baiyuan..."

Clutching the hotel pillow tightly in both hands, Kikuchi Sonoka closed her eyes and murmured to herself, her face flushed with an intoxicating blush.

Although she had no intention of generating her own electricity, she still dreamed of Bai Yuan and some things that would happen the next day.

"Wow! I had a really good night's sleep."

Lazily stretching and yawning, making a crackling sound, Kikuchi Sonoka climbed out of bed, the blanket slipping off her body.

"But I'm so thirsty..."

Feeling thirsty, the girl threw off the blanket covering her legs, revealing her flawless white skin. She then got out of bed, opened the bedroom door, and went straight to the kitchen to find something to drink.

However, the moment the door opened, seeing the mess in Bai Yuan and Nakiri Alice's room, the girl's still somewhat dazed consciousness instantly cleared.

Looking around, Kikuchi Yoko's mouth gaped open. If she didn't know she was in a hotel, she would have thought she had been robbed.

"This...is this too crazy? When did these two go to sleep last night? Why are there signs of a struggle in the kitchen..."

I stepped into the middle of the room.

Looking at Bai Yuan and Nakiri Alice embracing each other, the bed in the room was probably the cleanest place, while the rest of the room was already a mess.

With the help of the dim light, she could clearly see faint tear stains on the girl's face, indicating that she had cried last night.

But a smile remained on his lips, and no one knew what had happened.

"Gudu..."

In this situation, Kikuchi Sonoka swallowed hard, her mind filled with thoughts of herself. Would she be as crazy as she was yesterday tonight?

That kind of thing...

Is it really necessary to make such a mess of the room?

Kikuchi Sonoka had never experienced it, so she didn't understand at all, but that didn't stop her from sincerely looking forward to the night falling again.

He picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table and drank it in big gulps, briefly relieving his thirst. He then went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and stared blankly at the ingredients inside.

After thinking for a moment, Kikuchi Yoko took out beef, ham, eggs, and some vegetables and began cooking.

Because of the extremely limited ingredients, she decided to make a simple sandwich, since she still had some leftover toast from the day before yesterday in her backpack.

Meanwhile, hearing the constant noises coming from the kitchen, Alice Nakiri, who had just fallen asleep, opened her eyes in a daze and looked around.

Then I saw the busy Kikuchienka, and my tense heart relaxed.

Upon seeing that the person in front of her was Bai Yuan, a look of joy appeared on her face.

It seems that what happened last night was not a dream, but something real and something she had been longing for day and night.

Thinking of this, Alice Nakiri pressed herself even closer, then lightly touched Bai Yuan's face with her hands, while wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

"Sleep a little longer. You didn't get much rest yesterday, so now is not the time to get up."

Sensing the movement on his body, Bai Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the girl gazing at him with deep affection, and gently stroked her short hair as he spoke.

As he spoke, he yawned.

He was obviously exhausted last night.

"That's all your fault. Now I can't even straighten my back. I just want to become a boneless snake so I can wrap myself around you tightly."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Nakiri Alice rolled her eyes adorably, then hugged him tighter and began to complain.

"I have no objection; I'd be willing to be tightly bound to you for a lifetime."

Bai Yuan said with a slightly teasing tone.

"No way! Rather than wasting my time here, I'd rather participate in more competitions and improve my cooking skills."

Alice Nakiri blushed slightly as she said that she also wanted to stay, but Bai Yuan would definitely prefer her to grow up.

Therefore, the answer at this time must be based on his ideas.

Having lived with Bai Yuan for so long, she had long since figured him out. It could be said that she was the person who understood him best in the world!

"Great! But you still need to balance work and rest. You can't make progress by just training and participating in competitions all the time."

really.

Upon hearing her words, Bai Yuan's face lit up with joy.

"Alright then, I'll stay with you a little longer."

The strategy of feigning indifference to lure the prey was a great success.

Alice Nakiri thought to herself with a smug smile, then buried her head in Bai Yuan's chest, found a comfortable angle, and closed her eyes contentedly.

Chapter 141 New Year's Eve, Nakiri's Family Feast

Inside the kitchen, Kikuchi Sonoka was unaware of what was happening outside, still busily preparing the food while humming an unknown tune.

She quickly finished making the sandwiches and prepared to call Bai Yuan and Nakiri Alice, but seeing that the two were sleeping soundly, she quietly left the room.

"Go back to sleep for a while. Is that kind of thing really that tiring? I guess I need to recharge."

While eating a sandwich, a romantic soap opera was playing on TV, and all sorts of thoughts floated through Kikuchi Sonoka's mind.

To get through the night better, one needs to conserve energy. However, after a busy night, Bai Yuan might have already run out of ammunition.

In that case, everything we said on the tram that day became empty talk.

If he's really that weak, I'm going to make him laugh at me tonight!

"Miscellaneous fish, miscellaneous fish"

The thought popped into Kikuchi Sonoka's mind, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She really wanted to call Shirobuchi a nobody when he was exhausted!

Hmph, it's all his fault for being so strict when giving cooking instructions. He even made her cry several times this month. I have so much to complain about, but I don't know how to express it!

Of course, knowing that Bai Yuan was doing it for her own good, Kikuchi Sonoka did not blame him.

only...

Lying in bed, her mind filled with all the things that had happened recently, Kikuchi Yoko's face flushed slightly, and she hugged her pillow tightly with both hands.

Before long, the girl fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I found myself in a warm embrace, with a large, warm hand on my skin, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the handsome face of a young man.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, what brings you here? Weren't you with Alice...?"

Looking at the man in front of her, Kikuchi Sonoka felt a surge of joy and a little surprise, because logically, Shirai should be with Alice right now.

How did I suddenly appear here?

"After all, we made a promise that tonight is your time. I set an alarm and came over to keep you company as soon as possible."

His fingers gently stroked the silky hair of Kikuchienka, and looking at the blush on the girl's face, Bai Yuan felt his heart race.

"Then why didn't you wake me up? You just secretly watched me from the side! I think I even drooled a moment ago, my sleeping face looked awful!!"

Reaching up to touch the corner of her lips, feeling the saliva residue, Kikuchi Sonoka blushed, then said with a hint of reproach.

She didn't want Bai Yuan to see her ugly side!

"No, that's not true. My little Yuanguo looks like a sleepy little pig when she's asleep, she's so cute."

It's rare to see you sleeping so soundly, how could I bear to wake you? You need to rest and recharge, lest you say you can't go on after just a few rounds."

"What's so cute about looking like a little pig! Humph! I've been saving this up for a whole month, how could I be done in just a few rounds? I'll definitely teach you a lesson later!"
