Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

"This is our Nakiri family's ancestor, Nakiri Sajiro, who was a top-tier seven-star chef and a god among Japanese chefs at the time."

It can be said that without him, there would be no Nakiri family. Therefore, he is placed here to be worshipped by the Nakiri family for generations, so that future generations can appreciate his glory.

Leonora Nakiri approached Shiro Awakening and began to explain to him softly, her eyes filled with respect as she looked at the statue.

As a member of the Nakiri family, after her marriage, at the family's request, she studied the deeds of the first Nakiri and learned about his greatness.

"I see, a top-tier seven-star?"

It's a pity we're not living in this era, otherwise I'd really like to have a go at him.

Looking at the statue, Bai Yuan shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.

Because chefs in this era lack internal strength, their skills are even inferior to those of ancient times.

During the year he traveled, he heard some impressive names, all of whom were ancient chefs who had passed away many years ago.

"Who dares to be so arrogant as to challenge my great ancestors?"

A slightly disgruntled voice came from not far away. The three of them immediately turned their heads and saw a man in a sharp suit.

The man frowned slightly as he looked at them, especially at Bai Yuan, who had just spoken.

"Who do we have here? It's Zong Wei's wife and daughter. And this is his son-in-law? I suggest he learn some manners and respect first."

A woman dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes appeared beside the man. She was very beautiful and looked at Bai Yuan, who was standing between the two women, with disdain in her eyes.

"Etiquette and hierarchy? Master Bai Yuan is the youngest Special Grade Seven-Star Chef in history, and he's about to become a Special Grade Eight-Star Chef. Why would he need to use such terms when he wants to compete with an opponent of equal strength?"

If we're really talking about etiquette and hierarchy, shouldn't you be the ones apologizing for disrespecting a top-tier chef (Grade 7)? Third Uncle and Third Aunt.

Just then, Erina Nakiri's voice came from not far away.

The girl saw Bai Yuan from afar and originally wanted to wait for him to come so she could have a chance encounter. However, he stopped in front of the stone statue and was bumped into by her third uncle and aunt who returned at the same time.

This wouldn't have been a big deal; a few perfunctory pleasantries would have been enough to make things go. But the other party overheard it.

"Special Grade Seven Star? Him? Cousin Erina, don't be ridiculous! Do you even know what a Special Grade Seven Star is?"

At this age, even reaching the top level would make one an absolute genius! You've probably been fooled by this shameless scoundrel!

A mocking voice came from not far away. The group looked over and saw two women and a man walking towards them with a faint sneer on their faces.

"A person's perspective is limited by their knowledge. It's normal that you, who are stuck in a well, don't know that there are geniuses in the world."

Hearing what the others said, Erina Nakiri said sarcastically.

"What did you say?!"

Of the three, the taller girl was the first to lose her composure, raising her eyebrows and giving him a cold look.

"We said all this for your own good, to prevent you from being deceived, but you've taken our good intentions for granted!"

Compared to tall girls, short girls are obviously more skillful.

She put on a tearful expression, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Alright, alright, we're all relatives, let's not argue over an outsider."

Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you try.

Since he's a top-tier seven-star chef, he should be able to make the legendary "Radiant Cuisine"!

The boy among the three stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker, but his malicious gaze fell on Bai Yuan, which didn't seem like he had any good intentions.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you test Teacher Bai Yuan's level! You can't even tell the difference between the two kings."

Alice Nakiri frowned and couldn't help but curse out loud.

She wasn't afraid of these guys, because she had lived in Northern Europe as a child and didn't have much of a relationship with these relatives, so there was no need for her to be polite or hypocritical.

Moreover, these guys in front of her belong to the opposing faction, and they'll cause trouble if anything goes wrong. This is the real reason why she hates returning to the Nakiri family.

Bad relatives are so annoying!

Chapter 142 Joint Food War, Porcupine Red Flame Cutter

"That's it for now."

Seeing the group arguing, Bai Yuan, who had been silent until now, spoke up. His voice carried an inexplicable authority, instantly silencing the crowd.

It's inappropriate for him to say these things in someone else's home, but there are too many clowns and tactless people in this world.

This isn't ancient times anymore, where you could just kill someone and ride off on horseback in this situation. You have to use food to speak for yourself.

Of course, having already risen to the rank of a high-level chef, he would never personally deal with such an unknown junior; doing so would be beneath his dignity.

However, he couldn't remain indifferent to being mocked like that, so he glanced at Alice Nakiri, who was eager to try her luck.

"The Nakiri family, like Totsuki, likes to practice the law of the jungle, but that's also a truth I believe in. In that case, let's have a food battle!"

As Bai Yuan's voice fell, there was a moment of silence. Then, the man who had acted as peacemaker earlier revealed a cold smile and said:

"Alright, then let me, Nakiri Kaede, see if your strength is at the Special Grade Seven Star level!"

"Food Wars? That's indeed a good method, my two dear sisters. I'll help you expose this fraudster's true colors right now."

Don't mistake a stone from a latrine for gold; although they're both yellow, their properties are different.

The tall woman couldn't help but laugh. They were close to Bai Yuan's age and had both won a place among the top ten in Far Moon. They were definitely prominent figures and were confident that they could not lose to their peers.

Despite Erina Nakiri's amazing talent, a genius who hasn't fully matured is ultimately lacking. In addition, since they belong to two different factions, they are naturally not afraid of offending each other.

"Ha ha ha ha."

On the other side, the short girl laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, showing that she didn't take them seriously at all.

"You may have misunderstood something. To deal with people like you, Teacher Bai Yuan doesn't need to take action himself. Alice and I can handle it."

My third uncle and aunt have been in the US for too long and only just landed today, so it's normal that they don't know anything about things here.

However, a lack of understanding doesn't mean one can arbitrarily make enemies of the Nakiri family. How can such childish behavior represent the Nakiri family's image in the public eye?

Receiving Bai Yuan's gaze, Erina Nakiri stepped forward first, looking as if she wanted to make a good impression on her teacher.

Alice Nakiri saw through her thoughts perfectly, and silently withdrew the words she was about to utter, not vying for the opportunity to shine.

She has already won over Bai Yuan and they have exchanged their first time. She feels very at ease and naturally no longer worries about these trivial matters.

If I had to describe her current state in one sentence, it would probably be "the composure of an empress."

"Well, Erina, you're just a candidate for head of the family now, yet you dare to act like one! You should know we are your elders!"

Hearing Erina Nakiri's words, Uncle and Aunt, who were initially a little guilty about Bai Yuan's confident demeanor, couldn't care less at this moment and spoke to her with livid faces.

As an elder, he was actually reprimanded by Erina Nakiri, who acted like the head of the family.

If this gets out, where will they put their faces? Won't everyone come up and mock them?

"I invited young friend Bai Yuan; he is a genuine top-tier seven-star chef."

To put it bluntly, he's someone even I have to look up to. You two have been away for too long, how dare you be so disrespectful! Kneel down and apologize to me!

With such a major incident occurring at the manor, Senzaemon Nakiri naturally received the news immediately.

However, he did not appear immediately, but waited until the conflict escalated before showing himself.

The reason is simple: these people in front of him belong to the second faction, and they have often clashed with his faction in the past, causing quite a bit of chaos.

However, he lacked a legitimate reason to intervene.

But now, these two brainless fellows have angered Hakugen, and their children are even more disrespectful, almost making a major enemy of the Nakiri family.

As the head of the household, he has the right to punish.

"Uncle, we..."

"Call me the head of the family! The younger generation is ignorant, and you, as elders, did not stop them but instead accompanied them in their foolishness. This is truly inappropriate!"

After this incident, the person was confined to the ancestral hall for three days, forbidden from eating or drinking, until they reflected on their actions and repented before being allowed to leave.

Seeing that the two people in front of him seemed to be preparing to explain, Senzaemon Nakiri continued speaking with a cold face, as if they had committed a heinous crime.

However, offending a top-tier seven-star chef is a grave offense in any family, and in severe cases, it could even lead to expulsion from the family.

Of course, modern society emphasizes civilization and will not execute these people. Cleaning up the house mainly means driving them out and letting them fend for themselves.

For these pampered people, being driven out of the Nakiri family and losing everything they have is worse than losing their lives!

"What a cunning and shrewd fox."

Bai Yuan saw all of this, his face remaining expressionless, but inwardly he was sneering.

As a highly skilled martial artist, he knew exactly when Senzaemon Nakiri arrived, and he could also guess why he was appearing now.

This guy is probably using someone else to do his dirty work.

And, by sheer coincidence, he was the knife in the other person's hand.

However, Bai Yuan didn't care. In any case, the Nakiri family would either be ruled by Nakiri Erina or Nakiri Alice in the future.

In the end, it will most likely become his, and in this way, the old man is clearing obstacles for him, so he naturally has nothing to be unhappy about.

“My dear brother, this is a beautiful misunderstanding. These two fools have been working themselves to the bone lately for the Nakiri family’s business.”

"You see, they didn't cause this young friend any actual loss. I think it would be better to give them some substantial compensation and let's just let this matter drop."

Just then, a thin old man wearing half an eye patch walked out of the house and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

He then took out his keys from his jacket pocket and quickly walked over to Bai Yuan's side.

"This is the courtyard of a summer resort in the western suburbs of Tokyo. It has a private hot spring, and it's so comfortable to soak in it! Consider this my apology to my young friend."

As they spoke, the key was already placed in Bai Yuan's hand. The old man smiled at him with a face full of wrinkles, looking very approachable.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the leader of the second faction, Nakiri Sen'emon's younger brother, Sen'emon Nakiri.

On the way here, I heard Alice Nakiri mention that this guy is a typical smiling tiger, extremely humble in front of people who are stronger than him.

But once you fall on hard times, he will not hesitate to stab you in the back.

"The Summer Palace? That's a fine place. Since you're so sincere, let's just let this offense go."

Looking at the key handed to him by Sen'yokami Nakiri, Hakugen held it in his hand, twirled the key ring on his finger a couple of times, and showed a satisfied expression on his face.

It just so happens that the dark cuisine world lacks a base in Japan. With this place, the dark cuisine world should be able to develop rapidly in Japan.

Although he has already established a relationship with Alice Nakiri and can use the Nakiri family's resources.
