Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

People in the dark culinary world generally don't reveal their names when they're out in the open, so it's not entirely untrue for him to say that Logan doesn't want to tell his name.

"Then forget it. There are indeed some reclusive seniors who, after passing on their culinary skills, do not want to be disturbed by others and will hide their names."

Mo Ben nodded slightly in understanding of Bai Yuan's explanation, and then took the initiative to pull out a judge's seat for him, demonstrating respect and attitude to the fullest extent.

This scene was captured by a drone, causing the audience to gasp in shock and become unsure of Bai Yuan's identity.

After all, someone whose identity could be so simple that even the president of the World Gastronomy Association would personally pull out a chair for them couldn't be anything more than that. Could they be a descendant of some reclusive family?!

However, even a descendant of a reclusive family wouldn't be able to sit directly on the judging panel unless their strength had reached that level.

But look how young Bai Yuan is...

In front of the judges' panel.

Bai Yuan and the other two ignored the commotion coming from the audience and sat down in order, with Mo Ben in the middle, Bai Yuan on the right, and Lanxi Jon on the left.

With the three judges in place, the host, Mr. Lin, strode onto the competition stage, holding the microphone slightly and showing obvious excitement on his face.

The reason was simple: before the competition, he received a message about Bai Yuan's identity being exposed, and the other party asked him to announce it when introducing the judges.

He didn't think much of it at first.

After all, even though Bai Yuan is the team leader of the Dark Cuisine world, he is still quite old, and his face is not very familiar, so he probably hasn't participated in any competitions.

What kind of achievements could someone like that have? At most, he might win a few minor awards. He's not bad at it, and he can barely be considered a nobody.

He'd seen at least eighty or a hundred chefs like this before, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

However, when he saw the information provided by Bai Yuan, he realized that the kid in front of him was not some little Karami at all, but a real deep-sea dragon.

Although he hasn't made a name for himself in the culinary world, if the identity of a 22-year-old seven-star chef is genuine, it would shake the entire culinary world!

"Now let me introduce the three judges in front of me."

First, there's Mr. Mo Ben in the middle. I'm sure you've all seen him on TV. He's currently the president of the World Culinary Association, an eight-star chef, has overseen the preparation of state banquets, is considered the world's leading expert in Hunan cuisine, and has won first place in a world culinary competition. His numerous accolades are countless!

Holding a microphone, Mr. Lin introduced the identities of the three judges in front of him in the order listed on the slip of paper.

Bai Yuan's information was placed last, clearly intended to be a bombshell for the audience, thereby completely igniting the atmosphere.

"On the left is Lance Jon, the president of the Nordic Culinary Research Association. Mr. Lance is an expert in French cuisine and is a six-star chef."

Lancy Jon's introduction was relatively concise. On the one hand, he did not achieve any remarkable success in the world, and on the other hand, his achievements were much smaller than those of Moben, so there was really nothing to boast about.

One is the president of the general association, and the other is the president of the Nordic regional branch. They are in a superior-subordinate relationship.

It would be too abstract to boast about a subordinate's achievements to a superior, and even if Mr. Lin were willing, Lancy Jon would refuse.

"As for the person on the right, I'm sure everyone is very curious right now about why such a young man can sit on the judging panel with so many masters."

I was very curious at first, but after looking at the boy's information, I finally understood why.

Instead of directly introducing Bai Yuan, the host, Mr. Lin, kept the audience in suspense, using his varied and rhythmic tone to pique their curiosity.

"What exactly is his/her identity?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me! I also want to know why this kid is sitting here. To be honest, I've never seen anyone like him before."

"This young man, unless he has reached the level of a five-star chef at this age, I really can't think of any reason why he should be sitting in the judges' seat."

As host Mr. Lin finished speaking, the audience, seeing that he hadn't answered yet, couldn't help but ask anxiously, which was exactly what Mr. Lin wanted.

How to evaluate whether a host is professional or not.

The most important thing to look at is whether he has the ability to stir the emotions of everyone present.

"Bai Yuan, a seven-star chef, once won the recognition of the legendary kitchen utensil Yongling Knife in the Guangzhou Shenqian Knife Skills Competition. He is a genius chef in China!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Mr. Lin stopped keeping everyone in suspense and began to introduce Bai Yuan with the microphone in hand.

That short sentence struck everyone present like a thunderbolt, leaving them speechless and incredulous.

This seemingly ordinary, albeit somewhat handsome, young man is actually a seven-star chef?! How is that possible?! Even if he's been cooking since birth, he's only been cooking for twenty-three years at most!

It's important to know that renowned chefs in the culinary world today have studied cooking for at least forty or fifty years. Even so, chefs with seven-star or higher status are extremely rare, each one a national treasure.

And now, the host is telling them that the young man who has just come of age is a national treasure-level chef, which is hard for anyone to believe!

"How is this possible! I've watched all the major culinary competitions, and I've never seen this person before. Where did this so-called seven-star chef come from?!"

Indeed, the growth of any strong person leaves traces; very few truly emerge out of nowhere.

Even Alice Nakiri, who is competing on stage now, stood on the podium as a child and won the championship in a molecular gastronomy competition.

I looked into that young man on the judging panel; aside from some topics related to the world of bizarre cooking, he had no real achievements.

"Could it be fake? The president is getting old; maybe he's been scammed by someone with ill intentions..."

As soon as the host, Mr. Lin, finished speaking, a heated discussion immediately broke out on the scene. No one wanted to believe that Bai Yuan possessed the skills of a seven-star chef.

After all, a Seven-Star Chef isn't something you can just pick and grow again. To become a player of that caliber, you have to go through countless matches and hone your skills through clashes with opponents.

Because Bai Yuan's news was blocked, it was only today that it was fully exposed to the public eye, so naturally many people do not know him.

"How could a bunch of ignorant brats possibly know the greatness of their leader!"

"The leader is the most skilled young chef in human history, and now he is being doubted by someone who is nobody. It's really disheartening."

Just then, several abrupt voices rang out from the crowd. The audience in the front row looked in the direction of the voices and were surprised to find that it was not one person speaking, but a group of people.

Although they look and wear different clothes, the fact that they stand here makes it clear that they are powerful figures from the same organization.

There is no other reason.

These people all have the same aura.

When they felt the gazes of those around them, there was no fear or guilt on their faces, only boundless composure.

They had absolute confidence in Bai Yuan's strength, so naturally they couldn't stand by and watch others slander him!

Chapter 443 Inner Mongolian Shaomai VS Amber Shaomai

"Your leader? That young man? He's really a seven-star chef?!"

The audience members sitting around them were the first to hear their voices. Although they were subtly afraid, they still craned their necks and asked curiously.

"No."

The old man sitting in the middle of the dark cuisine world shook his head slightly.

"I knew it, this was definitely hype..."

"The leader now possesses at least the strength of an eight-star chef. However, due to his rapid advancement, the World Culinary Association has specially revised the rules, changing it to allow seven-star chefs to participate in the star-up assessment only once a year."

The old man sitting in the center of the Dark Cuisine World shook his cane, banging it loudly on the floor, and then announced an even more bombshell.

Their leader was restricted from participating in the assessment by the organizers because his strength was growing too fast; otherwise, he would have been an eight-star chef by now.

“It’s getting more and more outrageous.”

"It's a bit crazy, but I like it!"

"Isn't this a bit too much..."

If this is true, the culinary world is likely to undergo a radical transformation!

As the old man finished speaking, a heated discussion erupted in the room, followed by gasps of astonishment. Everyone's face was filled with disbelief; this was more than just a genius—he was a prodigy!

"You've already made a name for yourself; it's up to you to prove it. Everyone's very curious about you."

Observing the reactions of the audience below the stage, Mo Ben turned his head and spoke to Bai Yuan.

If the opponent wants to set up a world-class challenge, in addition to challenging one hundred five-star or higher-level chefs, they also need extremely high renown.

Only in this way can we ignite the topic in the shortest amount of time when setting up the arena, attract strong people to come and challenge us, and thus increase our momentum.

"Thank you."

Bai Yuan thanked him softly. He could naturally see Mo Ben's plan. Rather, he had always wanted to become famous, but the Food Association had been suppressing him.

Now that he has truly made up his mind and demonstrated his unparalleled strength, Mo Ben has finally decided to make his name known to the public.

At the same time, now is the perfect time to seize the crown in the world of bizarre cuisine!

"It's up to you guys from now on."

Bai Yuan's reputation has already spread, and although most people find it hard to believe, no one has come forward to question it.

After all, the president of the World Gourmet Association sitting next to Bai Yuan didn't raise any objections, so they naturally didn't think they knew more than him.

The rest are Alice Nakiri and the others.

If they can represent the Dark Cuisine World and win first place in this school exchange competition, then the name of the Dark Cuisine World will surely resound throughout the world.

The leader of the Seven Star Chefs group has countless young geniuses under his command. Such a lineup would be considered a powerful force anywhere.

Indeed, the world of bizarre cooking has evolved to such a terrifying degree that it is now quite alarming.

On stage, as if sensing the conviction conveyed by Bai Yuan, Alice Nakiri silently quickened her movements, making the snake-like movements even faster.

The next moment, the dough snakes flying in the sky fell down, and dough pieces separated from her hands and landed on the cutting board.

The rolling pin tumbles and turns, transforming round dough balls into paper-thin wrappers.

"When making shumai, the dough must be rolled out to be extremely thin, so thin that the color of the filling can be vaguely seen, like the shell of amber."

This young girl must have made shumai before; did she have some formal training?

Moben nodded slightly as he watched Alice Nakiri's actions.

From his previous conversation with Bai Yuan, he learned that all the students from the Dark Cuisine World who came to participate in the competition were his disciples. Among them, Alice Nakiri was the strongest, possessing the strength of a three-star chef, and was also his eldest disciple.

He originally thought that although Bai Yuan was a genius, geniuses think differently from ordinary people, so his ability to train them would be weaker, and it would be difficult for him to teach a particularly outstanding disciple.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Bai Yuan is not only powerful himself, but the disciples he teaches are also incredibly strong!

“This girl loved eating shumai when she was little, and I often made it for her. Over time, she wanted to learn how to make it, so I taught her.”

Bai Yuan spoke calmly, but his words carried a hint of pride.

The reason is simple: any parent would feel genuinely proud to see their student shine in a world-class competition.

"I see."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's explanation, Mo Ben nodded slightly. If he had personally taught her, then he wouldn't be surprised by anything Nakiri Alice did.
