Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

"Yuuki, do you remember the sushi restaurant where we first did our field training? Manager Ryuji seemed to have mentioned Hakugen-nii back then."

"That evaluation list of unknown origin?!"

"That's right, Teacher Bai Yuan, that's the one you left behind, isn't it?"

Ryoko Sakaki looked at Shirayuki with excitement, as if she had solved a century-old problem.

"Yes, I stayed behind. I saw you were all too busy, so I left after I finished eating."

Upon hearing Ryoko Sakaki's question, Hakugen pondered for a moment and then remembered the matter.

"I knew it, you can't find another chef this amazing in all of Japan."

"To be able to write such detailed notes on the shortcomings of Manager Ryuji's cooking after only one taste, not only pointing out the flaws but also offering suggestions for improvement."

Upon hearing Ryoko Sakaki's reminder, Yuuki Yoshino also remembered that something similar had indeed happened while she was working recently.

They had their doubts then, but they never expected it to really be Teacher Bai Yuan.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Apart from Hakubuchi, it seems that no one else in all of Japan possesses such an ability.

After all, Manager Longzi is a master chef and an expert in sushi. Anyone who wants to teach him about sushi would have to be several levels above him.

"I thought you came here specifically to see us, but it turns out everyone comes here."

Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki's words, Nakiri Erina thought of Shirobuchi, who had come to find them that night, and her expression became subtle.

She thought it was a special treat Bai Yuan had prepared for them, but it turned out that everyone had the same special treat; it was a communal meal. So, it seemed like they weren't so special anymore.

Everyone likes to fantasize, imagining themselves being treated uniquely by their loved ones.

Erina Nakiri is no exception.

"Ahem, as a teacher, it is an essential duty to check on students' performance in their assessments. I have always been fair and impartial."

Hearing Erina Nakiri's sarcastic remark and feeling the scrutinizing gazes of those around him, Bai Yuan coughed awkwardly twice before speaking righteously.

"Oh, that's really fair and just."

Erina Nakiri deliberately drew out her words and didn't say anything more.

To avoid further embarrassment, Bai Yuan looked at Hojo Miyoko.

"I'm not really good at expressing my feelings of liking someone, but if you're with me, I'll give you everything I'm supposed to give you."

Of course, I also have feelings for you, and accepting your confession truly means I want to spend my life with you.

Bai Yuan sincerely expressed his thoughts.

To be precise, their interactions weren't very deep, mainly consisting of a year and a half of interaction in Guangzhou, but it's impossible to say that they didn't like each other at all.

After all, Hojo Miyoko is pretty, although her features are sharp and she has a bit of a heroic air, lacking some feminine charm.

But it feels more appealing to conquer a girl like that.

Moreover, beauty comes in many forms. A delicate and graceful appearance is beautiful, a bright and cheerful appearance is beautiful, and a heroic and spirited appearance is also a kind of beauty.

"I know, kiss me."

Because Sakaki Ryoko had just been kissed, Hojo Miyoko's heart was also a little itchy. Looking at the face she had been longing for day and night, she spoke shyly.

"of course."

Since the girl had said that, Bai Yuan naturally couldn't pretend he hadn't heard her.

He gently placed his large hand on her shoulder, then lowered his head.

Upon feeling that burning kiss, Hojo Miyoko froze on the spot, responding clumsily.

"How cunning! I want a kiss too!"

Seeing Hojo Miyoko kissing Shirai, Yoshino Yuuki, who had been watching the spectacle, stomped her foot, her face flushed but her demands made firmly.

Now that you've established a relationship, there's no need to be shy anymore.

Yoshino Yuuki is not a shy or timid person; on the contrary, she is very generous and lively.

After understanding her own feelings, her attitude towards Bai Yuan was to want to stay by his side all the time, and she hoped to take things further.

"Okay, kiss."

He released his grip on Hojo Miyoko, patted her head, then pulled Yoshino Yuuki into his arms and kissed her as she looked up at her.

"You two are being so affectionate, it's making me a little aroused too. After Yuuki's turn, it's my turn."

After watching Shirabuchi kiss Ryoko Sakaki, then Miyoko Hojo, and then Yuuki Yoshino, Alice Nakiri, who had been watching for a long time, gently placed her hand to her lips with an expectant expression.

"can."

Bai Yuan nodded after hearing this and did not refuse.

"Then I'll come along too."

"Everyone else has one, so wouldn't it be strange if I didn't? Kiss me too, Mr. Bai Yuan!"

Seeing the girls suddenly surrounding him and asking for kisses, Bai Yuan helplessly turned into a heartless kissing machine, giving a kiss to anyone who came.

Bai Yuan initially enjoyed it, but gradually became numb to it.

Fortunately, the girl's lips were still soft, and everyone's taste was different, which prevented him from experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

"Alright, alright, the fish balls are almost cooked through, go and eat them."

As Bai Yuan spoke, he reached out and patted Nakiri Alice's butt.

This girl is the most greedy; if someone else kisses her once, she wants to kiss them twice.

Fortunately, no one else followed suit; one kiss was enough for them.

Otherwise, his mouth would be kissed raw.

"Damn it, I forgot about the fish balls!"

Because the affair between Shiroyuki and Ryoko Sakaki was so explosive, everyone who was originally gathered in the cabin came over.

If Bai Yuan hadn't reminded them, they probably would have forgotten that there were still fish balls in the pot.

"Oh right, and fish balls too!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't overdo it."

As soon as the words were spoken, the girls who had been watching the spectacle returned to their cabins.

Fortunately, the delay was short, and the fish balls were only slightly overcooked.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, here's the first fish ball for you."

As she spoke, Alice Nakiri picked up a fish ball and brought it to her mouth. When she heard that she was the first one, everyone around her put down their chopsticks in unison.

Bai Yuan made these fish balls, so naturally he had to be the first to eat them.

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Bai Yuan didn't hesitate and opened his mouth to take a bite.

The outer skin is as smooth and lustrous as jade, but when you bite into it, it is extremely chewy, and the fresh sweetness of the fish paste bursts between your teeth.

The squid bits interspersed throughout are fine yet chewy, bouncing slightly when chewed, releasing the salty freshness of the ocean, creating a wonderful contrast with the smoothness of the fish paste.

The scalding heat of the hot pot brings out the aroma deep within the fish balls. The squid pieces shrink slightly under the high temperature, making the texture even firmer. Occasionally, when you bite into a fish ball, the freshness bursts out, mixed with the unique richness of butter and the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns, exploding on the tip of your tongue.

"Eat up, it tastes amazing!"

Swallowing the fish ball in his mouth, Bai Yuan smiled and called out to the girls who were staring at him expectantly.

"start!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, the scene instantly erupted in excitement, with everyone grabbing their chopsticks to pick up the fish balls bobbing up and down in the hot pot.

"Don't pick it up anymore, I have a strainer here."

As Bai Yuan spoke, he handed the strainer to Nakiri Alice, who gently put it down.

"No, Brother Bai Yuan, you don't understand. We're having a righteous showdown!"

Seeing Bai Yuan's puzzled look, Nakiri Alice waved her finger, revealing a mysterious expression.

"That's right, you get to eat fish balls by skill. Whoever scoops them out first gets to eat them."

Erina Nakiri said, extending her chopsticks.

"Hehe, I've picked it up."

Tadokoro Megumi said with a face full of excitement.

"No, you didn't."

Yoshino Yuuki used her chopsticks to knock down her fish ball, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"Ahhh! Yuuki, you're cheating!"

Upon seeing this, Tadokoro Megumi immediately puffed up her cheeks.

"The rules don't say you can't interfere with the other party."

Yoshino Yuuki grinned, her teeth showing, and she was extremely excited because she had confirmed her relationship with Shiro Awakening.

"watch out!"

I'm hiding.

"Alice, don't just casually put the fish balls from my bowl into yours!"

"Have it?"

"Don't think that just because it's in your mouth it's gone!"

A smile appeared on Bai Yuan's face as he watched the girls constantly reaching out with their chopsticks to grab fish balls, restraining each other and bursting into a noisy commotion.

This kind of life is wonderful!

Chapter 377 School Exchange Competition

"School Exchange Conference..."

Inside the cabin, looking at the poster sent by Hisako Niito, Bai Yuan frowned almost imperceptibly, a look of inquiry in his eyes.

"That's right, it will happen in the middle of next month."
