Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Some people couldn't help but exclaim that Bai Yuan's technology was truly extraordinary, something that ordinary people couldn't possibly use.

In fact, no one else dared to use it except him, because if the knife accidentally fell on his head, it would be a fatal matter.

If you're too timid, this trick won't work.

"Sizzle."

The sound of frying filled the air. Looking closely, they saw Bai Yuan putting the fried meatballs into the pot. One by one, the plump meatballs sank into the pot, and as the oil seeped in and the temperature of the meatballs rose rapidly, they slowly floated to the surface.

The rich aroma spread in all directions at this moment, making people unable to resist closing their eyes and savoring this unique fragrance.

"Your deep-fried meatballs."

From entering the stall to starting to cook, and from cooking to finishing the dish, Bai Yuan took no more than fifteen minutes, which is astonishingly fast.

Apart from the already completed deep-fried meatballs, the other dishes are almost finished and can be sold in ten minutes.

"Gurgle, I clearly ate breakfast before coming here, why am I so hungry!"

Watching the rapidly advancing line, the boy rubbed his stomach as he moved forward, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Of course, it's because the food is too delicious. Even though I'm full, I still want to have another bite."

A middle-aged man's voice rang out from the side, carrying a hint of mockery.

"Is there such a thing?"

An awkward expression appeared on the boy's face; his stomach, which had been full, suddenly felt hungry again because of the delicious food.

This is too exaggerated!

"It's no exaggeration at all. As the owner of a listed company, I now spend all my time queuing up here instead of doing any real business."

Isn't this dish terrifying? It's so delicious that I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat it for a day. If it hadn't been sent for testing and found nothing wrong, I would have suspected...

"Can't we send one of our subordinates to buy it?"

“Those guys bought it and ate it themselves, so they had to queue up again to buy more, and then they were stuck in there for a whole day, and I couldn’t say anything to them.”

After all, I know how delicious the dish was, so naturally I couldn't say anything to blame it.

Hearing the boy's question, the man shook his head slightly. He had indeed sent his employee to buy the food, but the employee had simply pocketed it.

Such a bizarre thing could probably only happen at Baiyuan's stall.

“That’s very life-like.”

The boy's expression was subtle. It was his first time queuing here, and at this moment, when he heard the man who claimed to be the boss of a listed company, he was half convinced and half disbelieving. He would wait until he tasted the food before making a decision.

Fortunately, the team moved quickly, and in less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the front of his line.

"Boss, two servings of sweet and sour pork ribs."

The boy naturally held up two fingers, then took out his wallet to pay, but Bai Yuan shook his head slightly and only handed him a plate of ribs.

"Sorry, child, we only allow one purchase per person. If you wish to buy more, please join the queue again."

After saying this, Bai Yuan went to the next stall, leaving only the spare ribs in front of the boy, which made his expression subtle.

"Business is so good, if there were no purchase limit, we really wouldn't have enough time. One serving is fine."

The boy put one of the two banknotes he had taken out back into his wallet, then threw the other into the money bin, and found a place to rest and sat down.

"I'd like to see what kind of cuisine can attract so many people. Could it be even better than the chef we hire at home?!"

The boy muttered to himself as he unpacked the package, and the moment the package was opened...

The sweetness of caramel and the tangy sourness of aged vinegar surged amidst the aroma of meat, enveloping his nostrils. The sesame fragrance brought a deep warmth, making his body feel cozy.

Saliva was produced in large quantities in the mouth in an instant.

"This fragrance... I approve of it."

Wiping away non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth, the boy muttered to himself, "Amber-golden red coated in glossy sauce, like glass bathed in the sunset."

The thick sweet and sour sauce glistened with a honey-like sheen under the light, and the surface of the ribs was covered with a glistening caramel color.

When you pick it up with disposable chopsticks, you can see the golden threads stretching out, and the surface is decorated with white sesame seeds like crushed jade, making it exceptionally appetizing.

Without hesitation, he picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to savor it.

"The initial taste is a bright sourness, like the flavor of aged vinegar, which first stimulates the taste buds to produce saliva, and then awakens the appetite."

This is followed by a mellow sweetness, which beautifully envelops the tartness, creating a smooth balance, similar to the complex sweetness of candied hawthorn.

Because sweet and sour pork ribs are rarely found in Japan, the boy decided to buy some to try the taste the moment he saw them.

I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I never expected to taste such a delicious dish.

No wonder the owner was willing to drop everything to come and queue up; such delicious food is definitely worth putting everything aside to come here.

"The stewed ribs are tender and fall off the bone, with the sauce seeping into the crevices. When you bite into them, a mixture of caramel and vinegar flavors bursts out!"

The main reason it doesn't feel greasy is the subtle savory aftertaste, which perfectly complements the sweet and sour flavors, preventing it from becoming too sweet.

Close your eyes and savor the taste on your tongue; the boy's voice subtly reveals a hint of excitement.

It was just a simple sweet and sour dish, so why did it evoke this feeling in him, a faint warmth spreading deep within his body?

Mingming has eaten countless more sophisticated dishes!

After slurping up the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, I realized that the 1,000 yen ribs weren't much. Fortunately, this shop only had a purchase limit based on the queue, not on the individual.

Without any hesitation, the boy strode towards Bai Yuan.

Chapter 359 The field training is coming to an end, let's start to relax!

Under extremely high pressure, time passed day by day.

Soon, the field study came to an end.

[Closed tomorrow, free today]

A huge sign appeared in front of Bai Yuan's stall. The stall had been completely cleared out. Yesterday's free food fair had attracted most of the people in the square, with the longest queue reaching over a hundred people, which was unprecedented.

Of course, everyone understands that the main reason for so many people queuing up is not that it's free.

It was because this was the last day that Bai Yuan's stall was open, and if they didn't take this opportunity to eat his food, they probably wouldn't have the chance in their lives.

With this in mind, and seeing that the surrounding stalls had almost no business all day, they began to prepare for tomorrow's business.

After all, according to what Bai Yuan wrote on his sign, he would no longer be setting up a stall tomorrow. In other words, the customers who had been queuing up in front of his stall would flow back into this huge market and become their customers.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen so many guests!

Exclamations of admiration rose and fell, and the streets became bustling again, with three or five customers queuing in front of each stall. It was incredibly lively.

"I've never fought such a rich battle before!"

Compared to now, the days we lived before were incredibly hard!

Seeing the three customers queuing in an orderly fashion in front of his stall, the young man burst into tears. This was the first time in all the time he had been running his stall that he had seen more than two people queuing behind him.

What's the difference between this and celebrating the Lunar New Year?!

"Please take care!"

The young woman respectfully gestured to the guest in front of her, then continued preparing the dish, embodying the essence of excellent service.

These two are not the only ones who behave the same way; they are just a tiny, insignificant part of the vast number of stall owners.

With such a large customer base, top contenders like Soma Yukihira and Megumi Tadokoro have begun their final push.

"Target number one, kill!"

Kneading the dough with both hands, Soma Yukihira found that there were now five ovens in front of him, which was the limit of what he could operate at the same time.

On average, it can produce thirty sesame seed cakes per minute.

This is his current limit.

If it were just about making sesame seed cakes, he would be more than capable of it.

However, if he has to deal with customers and get distracted while talking to them, and his mental energy is not high enough, his time becomes very precious.

Knead the dough, fill it with filling, spread it out into flatbreads, put them in the oven, and take out the flatbreads from the previous batch.

This is the entire process of his cooking.

As for the customers, he now adopts a semi-managed model, leaving plastic bags there for customers to take their own bags and fill them with as many pancakes as they want, paying for whatever amount they want.

With someone watching from behind, no one usually refuses to pay. If you're unlucky enough to encounter this situation, just consider it a treat.

Considering that people's tastes may differ, in addition to the preserved vegetable pancakes he made at the beginning, Soma Yukihira later added sugar pancakes, sesame pancakes, pork and scallion pancakes, and oven-baked pancakes.

Among them, sugar-coated sesame seed cakes and preserved vegetable and pork sesame seed cakes sold the best.

Needless to say, the preserved vegetable and pork sesame seed cake is his signature dish and the one he has studied the longest.

Another type of sugar biscuit was divided into three types by Soma Yukihira, filled with brown sugar, white sugar, and red bean paste respectively. They are sweet but not greasy, making them suitable as snacks.

While meeting the needs of most customers, the food is prepared quickly and tastes delicious.

Soma Yukihira's business is exceptionally good, far surpassing others. Usually, when Bai Yuan is cooking in the central area, his team maintains around ten people.

This is only because his cooking speed is so fast that customers come and go in waves; otherwise, the queue would be even longer.

However, this was also due to the cooking being done too quickly.

Under normal circumstances, Soma Yukihira would only open three ovens at a time, because five ovens would produce too many flatbreads, and the market would be flooded with them, emptying the queues in no time.

At that time, he will be unable to attract customers by leveraging the herd mentality, and fewer and fewer customers will come to his stall, which will not be in his best interest.

And now, looking at the guests surging in like a tide.

"Come on, have more."

Soma Yukihira's hands were so fast that you could see afterimages. A rich aroma wafted from his stall, attracting passersby from all around.

Bai Yuan was one of them, but he didn't go up to greet them. He just quietly bought five sesame cakes and then went to the next stall.

Because he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, Soma Yukihira did not recognize him.

However, given the current situation, even if his father were to come in person, Soma Yukihira probably wouldn't say much, he would just urge him to finish buying and leave quickly.

After working so hard for so long, we've finally made it to the final sprint.

No matter who comes, they can't disturb him!
