Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

This kind of communication should be called exchange.

"To call it an exchange is too much of an honor for this old man."

"There's no such thing as flattery or not. I learned a lot from watching your pig-slaughtering process, so it's not an exaggeration to say that we're exchanging ideas."

This statement is not a lie. Although the old man Fujino's pig-slaughtering technique was simple, every cut was extremely precise. This was a skill that could only be honed through continuous practice day and night.

Ultra-precise pig slaughtering techniques.

Although the process was relatively slow, each piece of meat was divided perfectly, with no mistakes. Every piece of meat was a premium quality.

Even he wasn't as precise when handling pork as he had been. He had been quite self-satisfied, but now he realized that there are always people more skilled than him in the world.

These are all things he can learn from.

"Your current accuracy is already sufficient; what you want is speed, right?"

However, I can't really offer much advice on this, because only those with sufficient physical fitness can increase their pig-slaughtering speed.

Bai Yuan said tactfully that the old man in front of him was too old and his physical condition was not as good as that of a young man. Even if he exercised, it would be difficult for him to become strong.

"Does this mean I've reached the end of my progress...?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's definitive statement, Fujino's expression changed, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

It was precisely because he had been unable to make any progress for years that he immediately stepped forward to ask Bai Yuan to become his disciple when Bai Yuan used the Crimson Flame Porcupine Slash.

However, what the other party said is also true; age is indeed an insurmountable barrier for him.

"You can't increase the speed, but you can continue to improve the precision of slaughtering pigs."

Seeing Fujino's pained expression, Bai Yuan's voice rang out, as if a ray of light shone into his heart, rekindling a glimmer of hope within him.

"What do you need me to do!?"

Fujino stared intently at Bai Yuan's face, trying to find the answer within.

"I'm sorry, I'm not very clear on this either, because at present I'm only fast, but my accuracy is not even as high as yours."

As things stand, in terms of understanding pigs alone, I'm not as good as you.

Bai Yuan did not hide anything and bluntly stated the fact that he was not as good as the old man Fujino, at least in terms of the precision of slaughtering pigs, he was now inferior.

The reason is quite simple: he hadn't killed many pigs, which meant he only mastered the form of the skill, not its essence.

"Next week, maybe then I can tell you the answer."

Seeing Fujino's eyes dim once again, Bai Yuan felt a pang of pity and gave him some hope again.

With his abilities, if he wanted to learn, he could master the skills in a week and surpass others' lifelong accumulation of knowledge.

This is the absolute confidence that his talent brings him.

Will we have an answer next week?

“That’s right, give me a week to improve, and I’ll show you how to move forward.”

Bai Yuan's voice was solemn, a sign of respect for a person with craftsmanship, and he did not want such a person who pursued perfection to fall on the road to progress.

"As previously agreed, all pigs from the farm will be sold to you at a 10% discount for employees."

As if he had just thought of something, Fujino suddenly spoke up.

"20% off. Out of respect for this excellent chef, please allow me to sell it at a 20% discount."

Seeing his uncle so excited, the farm owner remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly looking up and speaking.

For him, offering discounts would only mean earning less money, but if it could win the favor of a great chef, it would definitely be a win-win situation!

"You can discuss the price with my secretary later. Someone from the 'dark cuisine' world will come over to discuss it with you then."

If they find the price reasonable, a long-term partnership is not out of the question.

Bai Yuan didn't react much to what the two said, but he still proposed a solution: to secure a supply chain for the Dark Cuisine industry.

He couldn't gain favors from people with just a small discount; otherwise, he would have accumulated far too many favors along the way.

"Okay, I will send a professional liaison to discuss it with them, and I will also have someone deliver the pork cuts you need to you later."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, the farm owner did not show any dissatisfaction; on the contrary, he extended his hand to him very respectfully.

Because Bai Yuan had inadvertently revealed his true colors just now.

The world of bizarre cooking.

This organization has become incredibly famous recently; almost everyone in the food industry has heard of it to some extent, so people are careful to avoid their descendants accidentally getting into trouble with them.

He was no exception; he had consulted his friends about the situation early on and added the Dark Cuisine World to the list of forces that should never be provoked.

Although the other party is just an emerging force, it is still not something that his small pig farm, which has no powerful backing, can afford to provoke.

I wonder what status this person holds in the world of culinary disasters, and whether I can get on his good side and climb the social ladder in that world.

If possible, his farm might be able to expand its operations as a result...

In Japan, doing business isn't just about having money; having connections is even more important.

Otherwise, if the business becomes too large, it will only benefit others. This is the real reason why he is stuck in one place despite having the ability to expand.

"Hmm, bring over twenty pigs so I can slaughter them and get a feel for it."

"Ok."

With the uninterrupted supply from the pig farm.

With no more worries about ingredients, Bai Yuan became a regular at Xingxiang Square, a presence that never left.

"This is it! Shinji bought his sweet and sour pork here last time, and it was absolutely delicious!"

"No wonder my child hasn't been eating much at home lately; it turns out he's been finding places to eat outside."

"My child is the same way, I see!"

"These outdoor stalls are completely unhygienic, and I have no idea what good food they have!"

“Nothing outside can taste as good as Mom’s cooking. I want to see what’s so special about this food stall that makes my child so happy that he doesn’t want to come home for dinner.”

"However, I must say, this stall is incredibly popular. There are so many queues. The difference between it and other stalls is like heaven and earth!"

"I don't know how many chefs are at that stall, but there must be at least three or five! I think there are at least a hundred people gathered here!"

This is even more terrifying than the crowds that gather there during supermarket sales!

A group of voluptuous young women walked together and soon arrived at Bai Yuan's stall about 20 meters away.

Seeing the ten long lines that were completely blocked and required someone to maintain order, they all swallowed hard, their faces showing extreme shock.

Given their limited knowledge, it's hard for them to imagine just how delicious the food must be to attract so many people to queue up.

Even under the scorching sun, we are willing to endure it!

"No matter what, let's go buy one first, at least to know the strength of our enemy."

Among the group of young women, a tall woman in a light blue loungewear dress spoke first.

"Agreed! Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory!"

The blonde woman raised her hand with great energy. Although she was over thirty, she looked no different from a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old girl because of her good maintenance.

At this moment, she is the energetic one in the team.

"Let's set off for the battlefield that belongs only to housewives!"

"Take back the taste buds of your children/husband!"

"..."

With unparalleled momentum, these housewives each chose a line and began the incredibly long wait.

Gradually, they came to understand why these people were queuing.

As the procession moved forward, a rich aroma filled their nostrils.

At first, they could still be stubborn and say that the aromas were nothing special, and that the dishes they made at home were not much different.

But soon, the stubborn girls were completely won over by the aroma, and they no longer had any hostility towards the food at the stall; all that remained was a deep sense of anticipation.

Half an hour later, they gathered together again, their faces flushed to varying degrees, and their eyes held a more ambiguous look.

"Let's all put together the dishes we bought and try them out."

Suppressing her inner desires, the tall woman in the light blue loungewear dress was the first to speak, barely managing to maintain her composure.

Chapter 348 Bai Yuan's True Purpose!

"That's what I was thinking too. I was really interested in the deep-fried pork tenderloin being sold next to my team just now."

It's hard to imagine that such deliciousness could be achieved by simply frying the ingredients, like pork cutlets, to create a flavor far surpassing that of pork itself!

"I'm interested in the tiger-skin pork knuckle. Those big, golden, shiny fat blister looks incredibly tempting, making my mouth water!"

"I bought lion's head meatballs here, which are simmered over low heat. I never expected to find such a state banquet-level dish at a roadside stall..."

The housewives chatted amongst themselves, completely unaware that they had initially come to denounce Bai Yuan.

To be more precise, they initially came here to defend their families and fight against his cooking.

"Delicious! This braised pork knuckle tastes amazing! My teeth first lightly touch the crispy skin that makes a 'crunch' sound, and then sink into the trembling gelatinous layer beneath the skin."

The fat had long since transformed into glistening, creamy puree, while the lean meat fibers, soaked in the broth, crumbled at the slightest pressure of the tongue, creating a delightful trio of crispness, bouncyness, and tenderness!

A tall woman in a light blue loungewear dress picked up a braised pork knuckle with tiger skin and couldn't help but sing. The moment her teeth touched the tiger skin, a "crunch" sound rang in her ears, followed by a continuous baptism of crispness, bouncyness, and tenderness!

This delicious experience brought an incredibly alluring blush to her face, and her body trembled slightly from the deliciousness of the food, even her eyes became dreamy.

"The golden-red, translucent slices of meat are coated with a glistening sweet and sour sauce, gleaming with an enticing luster like amber."

The caramel-colored crispy shell is garnished with shredded scallions, ginger, and carrots, creating a vibrant and visually appealing treat. Even before tasting it, the eyes are already tantalized by its sweetness. The initial taste is sweet, followed by a tangy flavor, like a waltz for the senses!

The sweet aroma of caramel dominates, followed by the refreshing tang of white vinegar as you chew, and finally the spiciness of ginger and garlic, making you want to take another piece!

Another woman, a young woman in a linen striped mini-skirt, pursed her lower lip slightly.

As she savored the unique aroma and crispness of Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork), a wave of satisfaction washed over her, causing her to slump onto the stone bench, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with deep ecstasy.

She initially didn't understand why her child wouldn't eat her food but chose this guy's instead.

Now she understands; everything was so straightforward.
