Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

While editing a message to inform Tadokoro Megumi of their situation at sea and to prevent any uncontrollable accidents, Shirabuchi changed into his diving gear and jumped into the sea.

"Safe journey!"

Watching Shirayuki sink rapidly into the sea, Alice Nakiri stood on either side of the yacht, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted loudly.

Of course, knowing Bai Yuan's abilities, she wasn't too worried.

It was really boring being alone on the yacht.

Although everything was new and exciting when I first arrived.

Is that a fishing rod?

Suddenly, Alice Nakiri spotted a long, narrow object in a black bag in the corner of the yacht, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

With nothing else to do, I'll just be a fisherman for a while!

Alice Nakiri thought to herself, then stepped forward and opened the bag. Inside was a long, rectangular box containing an exquisite fishing rod.

Fortunately, perhaps because the yacht's previous owner was a big fan of fishing, there was bait provided next to the fishing rod, and even the type of bait that each type of fish preferred was labeled, along with instructions on how to use it.

"What a thoughtful and kind person."

Looking at the instruction manual, fishing rod, and bait, Alice Nakiri sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"Ah Qiu! Who's talking about me behind my back...?"

In the KTV room, the bald, burly man had just spilled his drink on the alluring woman next to him when he sneezed loudly.

"I wonder if Chief Bai had a good time. I even stole Dad's fishing rod, and the bait made by the fishing master..."

The bald, burly man muttered as he finished the wine he had just poured, revealing that he would stop at nothing to curry favor with Bai Yuan.

In the sea.

Bai Yuan quickly descended and soon discovered his destination.

Watching the sea bass swimming rapidly in front of him, he quietly followed with a steel fork in hand.

Although fishing in the sea is quite difficult, as a martial arts master, he can master it in no time thanks to his superb physical abilities, which is the real reason why he went to sea himself.

At this moment, he was carrying a bamboo basket on his back to hold the fish that had been speared by the steel fork.

Sea bass, yellow croaker, grouper, mackerel...

"I had the people from the 'dark cuisine' world help me buy some pork and medicinal herbs. Now let's get the main ingredient first, mainly sea bass."

Bai Yuan pondered and increased his swimming speed.

The first fish he needed to assassinate was the sea bass, which was the key to his bone-strengthening fish soup today. It was very agile, darting left and right in the sea.

He held a steel fork and thrust repeatedly, but apart from creating some ripples, he gained nothing.

"That won't work. When spearfishing in the river, you should be able to predict the direction the fish are swimming and catch them accordingly."

Fish in the sea should theoretically be able to do the same, but due to the greater resistance of seawater, the difference in their ability to grasp and control them is somewhat different from that in rivers.

Watching the sea bass swim rapidly into the distance, Bai Yuan didn't rush to chase after it. Instead, he floated in the sea and began to contemplate his own shortcomings.

This is also his consistent approach: when he fails, he doesn't blindly try again, but instead looks back at the process to summarize the reasons, so as to avoid mistakes and often achieve twice the result with half the effort when he tries again.

Otherwise, even if you manage to spear a fish by chance, you won't get the hang of it and won't be able to sustain the development.

Bai Yuan understood that he wanted more than just this one sea bass; he needed all the fish in this area, and to do that, he needed to master the techniques.

Therefore, mastering spearfishing techniques became a mandatory course.

"Wow, amazing! Fish took the bait as soon as we went down. No wonder this is a beach that few people come to!"

Feeling the fishing rod gaining more and more strength in her hand, Alice Nakiri was filled with emotion.

Instead of reeling in the fish immediately, she kept twisting the rod to make it swim quickly in the sea, causing it to lose strength in the process.

As someone who grew up in Denmark, how could Alice Nakiri not know how to fish?

Every winter, Bai Yuan would take her ice fishing because fish would eat a lot to store fat before winter in order to cope with the energy consumption in the low temperature environment.

These fats not only make the fish meat more succulent, but also create a delicate, oily texture in the mouth.

"Rise, rise, rise!"

After letting the fish on the line dangle for a moment, and feeling the pressure on her hand weaken noticeably, Alice Nakiri quickly pulled the fishing line back together.

Fishing requires patience; you have to exhaust the fish's energy before you can catch it.

And when it comes to harvesting fish, speed is key.

After all, there are many underwater creatures, and no one knows whether fish will come to steal the food, or whether the fishhook will be damaged during the lifting process.

Although the probability is very small, similar things have indeed happened.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the fish she catches can be successfully brought onto the boat, Alice Nakiri chooses to exert all her strength when reeling in the fish, and then rest after the fish are brought up.

"It's a grouper! What great luck!"

Seeing the grouper jumping around on the yacht, Alice Nakiri went over and removed the hook from its mouth, then put it into the yacht's net and continued casting her line.

the other side.

"Once you master the technique, spearfishing becomes much easier."

A smile appeared on Bai Yuan's face as he watched the mackerel struggling on the harpoon.

"However, the fish obtained in this way are more or less damaged. Although they are ultimately used for making soup, it just doesn't feel quite right."

"Forget it, I don't have any other way to fish besides harpooning. Why think about it so much? It'll only cause more trouble."

Bai Yuan removed the mackerel from the harpoon and placed it in the bamboo basket behind him, shaking his head slightly.

He's overthinking it. If he doesn't need a harpoon, does he think he can catch fish with his bare hands?

Since it's impossible, there's no need to worry about these unnecessary things; it only adds to the trouble.

"We've had enough of the harvest. As for the underwater world, it's not very interesting to see it alone. Let's wait until everyone comes together tomorrow to enjoy it."

They would probably like to see this.

Feeling the vastness of the sea, Bai Yuan had the thought that he wanted to wait for Nakiri Erina and the others to go into the sea so they could see this sight together.

They'll probably be very happy then.

Without much hesitation, Bai Yuan quickly surfaced and came to the side of the yacht, where he saw Alice Nakiri fishing.

There are already three sea fish in the fish cage hanging by the side of the yacht. Each one is very fat, and the lightest one weighs six or seven pounds!

"Brother Bai Yuan, you're finally up here!"

As ripples appeared on the water, Alice Nakiri looked down and saw Shirabuchi emerging from the water. She then casually tossed aside her fishing rod and lowered the ladder.

"You've got a great catch! You've caught several big fish in such a short time. I've never seen you this good when ice fishing before."

Climbing up the hanging ladder from the seabed, Bai Yuan put down the bamboo basket he was carrying on his back, took a few steps forward, and came to the fish that Nakiri Alice had caught. Looking at the lively fish inside, he kept praising it.

"I'm not quite sure either. Maybe the bait is good, or maybe there are a lot of fish in the deep sea. I didn't even need to bait the area much, but I still caught a lot of fish."

That's true. People know their own situation. Her fishing skills are barely good enough to catch fish, and she can't be called a fishing pro.

The fact that so many sea fish have taken the bait today makes me think that only the special bait prepared on the boat could do that.

"Bait? Indeed, skilled people can mix bait that fish like. This bait is probably not sold on the market; it must be an exclusive formula."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Bai Yuan also turned his attention to the red bait placed next to her. It had a faint fishy smell, and there were quite a few live creatures moving inside, which looked rather disgusting.

"A powder made from shrimp shells and dried fish meat, followed by squid pieces and fish meat pieces, with chicken blood and fish blood to enhance the fishy smell and red color, thereby stimulating the fish's predatory instincts."

The most crucial ingredients are bloodworms and sandworms. Moving within the bait, their strong scent effectively attracts sea fish, making them excellent fishing bait.

Squatting down, Bai Yuan grabbed the bait from the small bucket next to him. Watching the red worms and sandworms moving in his hand, he closed his eyes and gently sniffed the scent. Before long, he deciphered the recipe.

Bloodworms are a favorite food of sea fish, and given their mobility, when thrown into the sea, the fish will not even think of them as fishhooks. They will simply see them as a gift from nature and hastily swallow them.

This is also the basic principle of fishing.

"Hehe, no matter what, I can enjoy a delicious fish feast tonight."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Alice Nakiri smiled.

Compared to Erina Nakiri and the others gathering seafood on the beach, she undoubtedly had a much better catch fishing here. The price of just these few fish was equivalent to the combined earnings of all of them.

When the fish she catches are put together with the seashells and other seafood that Erina Nakiri and the others get from beachcombing, the contrast will definitely be quite striking!

She couldn't wait any longer; she couldn't wait to show off in front of Erina Nakiri!

"I've caught quite a few here too, so we can definitely have a good meal tonight."

However, cooking so many types of fish properly isn't an easy task, so I'll leave it to you.

In response to Alice Nakiri's words, Bai Yuan nodded in agreement, but quickly changed the subject and started talking about the difficulties involved.

At the same time, this difficult task was naturally handed over to her, making her responsible for cooking the fish tonight.

"Leave it to me? That's not a bad idea. I'm getting a bit tired of making desserts lately."

Alice Nakiri did not refuse; instead, she showed an eager expression.

As a chef, she was naturally not afraid of the challenges posed by Bai Yuan.

On the contrary, she was worried that Bai Yuan would not give her a challenge, which would be truly unfair to her and deprive her of the opportunity to become stronger.

"Let's go back."

"let me help you."

As Bai Yuan put down the fish basket behind him, Alice Nakiri thoughtfully stepped forward to help him remove his diving gear. The moment her fingers touched his strong, muscular skin, she felt its intense heat.

"Gudu."

Subconsciously, Alice Nakiri swallowed.

Although they all say Bai Yuan is lustful, aren't they themselves just as lustful?

As long as Bai Yuan stands there, the girls' eyes never leave him, which is why they are now making this subconscious move.

Coming to her senses, Alice Nakiri slightly averted her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.

"What, haven't you had enough of touching me before?"

Hearing Alice Nakiri swallow, Bai Yuan looked at her teasingly.
