Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

What a normal ghost!

If it takes ten or eight years to master the Silver Chopsticks Ten-Pot Reversal technique, by the time she masters it, the daylily will be too cold!

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri lowered her head and sighed softly.

Practicing ancient martial arts during this period has indeed improved her flexibility, but it is still too difficult for her to master the Silver Chopsticks Ten-Pot Return technique.

"Your foundation is better than mine was back then, and with Teacher Bai Yuan's personal guidance, you should be able to see initial results in one or two years if you want to learn the Silver Chopsticks Ten Pot Returns technique, and you should be able to get started in three or four years."

Seeing Erina Nakiri's expression, Alice Nakiri pursed her lips, but considering the differences in their circumstances, she still offered words of comfort.

"No matter what, let's practice for now. We'll accumulate experience and eventually master the 'Ten Pots with Silver Chopsticks' technique."

Erina Nakiri clenched her fists, her fair face filled with determination.

"However, with Brother Bai Yuan setting up a stall in the central area, the number of customers we have here is visibly decreasing!"

As she spoke, Alice Nakiri turned her gaze toward Bai Yuan, her voice filled with resentment.

The other party set up their stall, but instead of moving to another location, they just set up right around her, attracting away most of their original customers.

"This must be a test from Teacher Bai Yuan, otherwise he wouldn't have placed it in the middle area."

Erina Nakiri saw things more deeply. She always felt that Shirabuchi's actions were not so simple and were likely a test of independence for her and Alice Nakiri.

After all, the two strongest people in Totsuki are here now. If they are not put through any tests, then there will be no dispute about who will be in the top two.

The purpose is already quite obvious.

"What you said makes sense, but secretly making things more difficult for the two of us is really annoying!"

"Indeed, he could have told us in advance so we could have been prepared."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Erina Nakiri nodded, a rare occurrence. It was indeed Shirabuchi who had acted dishonorably.

"No matter what, let's get through this first and then figure out how to retain our guests."

Looking at the group of only two or three people in front of her, Alice Nakiri's eyes flashed with a serious expression. If this continued, they would have no business.

"You're right, let's get through this first before settling scores with Teacher Bai Yuan!"

Erina Nakiri nodded slightly in agreement, her fists clenching slightly as she looked displeased, a bold idea forming in her mind.

Chapter 343 Unprecedented and Unparalleled!

"We can't always be on the defensive; sometimes taking the initiative to attack is more advantageous than being on the defensive."

As if she had thought of something, a slightly inquisitive expression appeared on Alice Nakiri's face.

"Then, when Teacher Bai Yuan is exhausted from his attacks, let's find a way to switch between offense and defense?!"

"I think we could try a combination attack. Two people working together are definitely stronger than one person. That's the power of synergy. I've heard that two people together..."

Having served Bai Yuan together, Erina and Alice felt no embarrassment at all when discussing this matter; on the contrary, they became more and more excited as they talked.

Furthermore, when it comes to matters of that kind, Erina Nakiri is much more earnest than Alice Nakiri, clearly having already tasted the sweetness of it.

Beside her, Hisako Shinto listened to their explicit conversation, her cheeks turning exceptionally red.

She wanted to join the conversation, but found herself at a loss for words because the two were talking in such a vulgar and inappropriate way that they were even ignoring the customers who were waiting in line.

Oh no, she's become the most conservative one!?

"Teacher Baiyuan is indeed..."

Erina Nakiri blushed slightly and was about to speak her mind when Hisako Shinoto rushed up and covered her mouth.

"Um... Lady Erina, please be a little more mindful of your image!"

Seeing that Erina Nakiri seemed about to say something that couldn't be broadcast, Hisako Shinoto hurriedly spoke up, which made Erina Nakiri realize the situation belatedly.

"Humph!"

Noticing the hint of regret mixed in with Nakiri Alice's pleasure, Nakiri Erina immediately realized she had been tricked and let out a dissatisfied "humph".

Alice is always setting traps for her to fall into!

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri looked at Hisako Shinodo, who was not far away, with a touch of gratitude.

If it weren't for her reminder, her noble and aloof image would probably have been completely ruined today, and it would have been on tomorrow's headlines:

[Japanese genius chef Erina Nakiri was scammed by a man; while running a food stall, she and her cousins ​​discussed the size of men's penises.]

"Thank you, Hisako."

Erina Nakiri grasped Hisako Shinoto's hand, her voice filled with sincerity.

“It is what I should do, Lady Erina.”

A smile appeared on Hisako Shinoto's face as she received the praise, and a warm feeling welled up deep in her heart as she felt the faint warmth emanating from his palm.

She's been by Erina Nakiri's side for years, all for the sake of gaining her approval and praise, isn't it?

Although the praise was a little different from what she had initially expected, it was still praise, wasn't it? With that thought in mind, Hisako Shinoto returned to her stall in a good mood and began serving the next customer.

Meanwhile, Erina Nakiri has also returned to normal.

"Your orange salad shrimp, 600 yen. Thank you for your patronage."

Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and let them cool. Put another portion of cooled fried shrimp into a frying pan, coat it with salad dressing, and finally serve it in an orange.

Erina Nakiri handed the food to the guest and asked him to put the money in the bucket in front of him, which was already full of money.

"Thank you!"

Looking at the orange salad shrimp in their hands and smelling the incredibly rich aroma in the air, the guests' faces showed an expression of great excitement.

"You're welcome, next one."

As she spoke, Erina Nakiri scooped out the orange salad shrimp from another pot, coated it with salad dressing, and placed it into the carved orange basket.

The sales are proceeding smoothly.

"I want the cranberry honey round puff."

At the stall next door, a little girl pointed to cream puffs hanging from the top of a display case that was about the same height as hers, with an expression of intense longing on her face.

"Okay, five hundred yen."

"Thank you sister."

Alice Nakiri helped the little girl get the food, giving her a bright smile, and while talking, she helped her take out a new type of cream puff from the cupboard.

This scene was playing out at various stalls.

Although the flow of customers between stalls has decreased significantly due to Bai Yuan's influence, the remaining customers are more selective.

They either simply liked this type of food, or were attracted by the aroma, and gathered around their stall.

When you're being stared at by those pairs of longing eyes...

Everyone became highly motivated.

"That's great. It seems everyone's really fired up. It's time to move on to the second phase."

The super-large stall at the dividing line.

Bai Yuan sat there.

Watching what was happening at each stall, he silently quickened his pace, and the silver chopsticks in front of him instantly became afterimages in his hands.

Those watching from outside couldn't see the chopsticks in Bai Yuan's hand at all.

What they could see was his rhythmic movement back and forth between the stalls, his hands moving swiftly.

One delicious dish after another was created in his hands.

"Truly worthy of being the leader, he easily accomplished what we couldn't!"

On the other side, in the area where the Dark Cuisine World and others were located.

Some of the new members, who had been skeptical of Bai Yuan, were now filled with admiration, clearly not expecting that Bai Yuan could fight against so many opponents alone.

It's worth noting that there are forty or fifty stalls along their street, offering a wide variety of snacks with novel and unique flavors that are truly delicacy.

Even so, he is still not as good as Bai Yuan.

It's incredible that one person can operate ten stalls at the same time, occupying more than half of the square's foot traffic!

"Of course! Our leader is the youngest Special Grade Seven-Star Chef in history. Even the great masters of the past were no match for him. Isn't it normal for him to defeat us mediocre people when we join forces?"

Not far from Bai Yuan, at a stall, a girl wearing a headscarf looked at him with admiration, her words full of praise.

"That's true. If the leader's talent is unparalleled, it's certainly unprecedented. I've never heard of any place in the world or any dynasty in history having such a young top-tier seven-star chef!"

Beside him, the boy's eyes were filled with fervor, and then he started stir-frying the squid at lightning speed.

He sells stir-fried squid. Fresh squid is cleaned by removing the internal organs, cartilage, and skin, then cut into long strips, patted dry with kitchen paper, and marinated for 10 minutes with 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, a little salt, and white pepper to remove the fishy smell.

Pour oil into a wok and heat it to 60% of its maximum temperature. Add the squid in batches and fry over medium heat for 2 minutes until slightly golden brown. Remove and set aside. Turn the heat to high and fry again for 30 seconds until golden brown and crispy. Drain the oil and set aside.

This is his first step in making stir-fried squid.

In fact.

Even before setting up his stall in the morning, he would fry the squid and set it aside for later use, so that he could serve and sell it as quickly as possible.

The aroma of squid is now so enticing that it has attracted many customers, subtly creating a rivalry with the sweet and sour pork ribs that Bai Yuan is serving in the direction they are facing.

Of course, this is also related to the distance being too far.

If the two were to come face to face, his stir-fried squid would have absolutely no chance of winning; the difference in flavor would be far too obvious.

However, even from a distance, the spicy aroma of his stir-fried squid was quite noticeable, which was enough to attract a few customers who hadn't yet tried Baiyuan cuisine.

"I wonder when I will be able to reach the level of a leader, truly as majestic as a god!"

"I don't even dare to hope to reach that level. I'd be satisfied with just a third, or even a tenth! Even just a tenth would be enough to dominate the current generation of young chefs!"

The girl wearing a headscarf looked at Bai Yuan with eyes full of admiration, and also with a somewhat ambiguous meaning.

Outstanding and powerful men always attract more attention, and Bai Yuan is such a strong man, always the focus of attention wherever he goes.

She was one of those who were attracted to it.

When I came to my senses, my gaze was already deeply drawn to Bai Yuan's back.

"Stop looking. Instead of secretly watching the leader, you should focus on making the best dishes. That way, you'll get more of the leader's attention."
