Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

"Well!"

“A-Liang always looks like this after she puts on her headscarf.” Alice Nakiri sighed softly with a helpless expression as she spoke.

"Ah Liang is such a hopeless, super idiot!"

“Nakiri-kun.”

"Is Kurokiba-kun really alright?" Tadokoro Megumi asked with some concern, as Kurokiba Ryo's condition seemed rather abnormal.

The current situation looks like a fight is about to break out.

"No problem."

"Idiot A Liang is like he's entered berserker mode right now. Once the match is over, he'll take off his bandana and go back to his normal self."

"Berserker Mode?" Yoshino Yuuki and the others glanced at Kurokiba Ryo, then at Nakiri Alice. Looking at...

"Mmmmmmm!"

"This is the name I gave A-Liang in this state, isn't it fitting? Every time he puts on his headscarf, he looks like an angry warrior." Alice Nakiri's face was full of pride, with an expression that said, "Come and praise me."

Berserker Mode?

Alice Nakiri's name is indeed very fitting, but now is not the time to be smug, is it? It seems like Ryo Kurokiba is about to make his move!

Chapter 48 Disdain? I carefully selected the fish head.

"Don't worry."

“Don’t let A-Liang’s scary appearance fool you, he’s actually very safe,” Alice Nakiri continued confidently to Megumi Tadokoro and the others.

"You bastard!"

"Now answer my question quickly, what is the topic of this Food War?" Kurokiba Ryo stared at Tsukasa Eishi like Godzilla spewing atomic rays.

Really?

Is Kurokiba Ryo really safe in this state? Tadokoro Megumi and the others had doubts on their faces.

Unlike Tadokoro Megumi and the others, Kobayashi Ryudou stared at Kurokiba Ryo with great interest, as if he had seen some fun toy, especially after seeing Tsukasa Eishi being frightened by him.

"That's really interesting."

"So Tsukasa isn't the only one whose personality can suddenly change drastically? But can simply wearing a headscarf really cause such a huge change in personality?"

"Should I buy Tsukasa a headscarf too?" Kobayashi Ryudou seriously considered this matter in his mind.

……

"The food battle theme is sea bream."

"Sea bream?"

"Then I'll watch how I smash you three to pieces!" Upon hearing the question, Kurokiba Ryo roared like a mad dog.

"Kurokiba-kun".

"I wasn't finished speaking. The only challenge in our food battle is sea bream, but we can only use the sea bream that I had left over from the previous food battle, which is these..."

As Xiang Ji spoke, he opened his insulated box, revealing the real sea bream meat he had just brought back.

The novel sashimi used in front uses the muscles and tendons from the back, fins, and tail of the fish, while the core meat from the belly, back, and tail is left out.

In addition to the belly, back, and tail, it also contains the head, skin, bones, and internal organs of a true sea bream.

Ee eh eh?

Ee eh eh?

As soon as Xiang Ji finished speaking, Yoshino Yuuki and the others stared wide-eyed at him, their expressions filled with disbelief.

The restrictions on ingredients are much stricter in the food war than the restrictions on the topic.

At the very least, Xiang Ji and his group now have four people.

There was only one true sea bream among the ingredients. How were the four of them supposed to divide it up?

Fish belly, fish back, fish tail...

The texture of meat varies greatly depending on the part of the fish. For example, the belly meat of the sea bream can be said to be the most delicious part of the fish.

How do you separate the flesh of a true sea bream?

Is there even a need to say it?

Of course, after drawing lots, people took turns choosing in order, and the task of drawing lots was given to Kobayashi Ryudou, who looked very unhappy.

There's no way.

Who can blame them when the requirements for the exam questions are just too ridiculous?

Ryudou Kobayashi came with the intention of having a big meal, but now he has to share a real sea bream with the other two judges.

And there are two more people in charge of cooking the sea bream?

Even though Ryuuichi had heard of Satoshi Isshiki and had expectations for Ryo Kurokiba, he was still not happy at all.

……

Number One: Isshiki Satoshi.

Number Two: Tsukasa Eishi.

Number Three: Xiang Ji.

Number 4: Ryo Kurokiba.

……

quickly.

The four of them had already drawn their respective numbers.

They're here!

Tadokoro Megumi and the others immediately focused their attention on Isshiki Satoshi, who had drawn number one, and watched with tense expressions as they wondered which part of the meat Isshiki Satoshi would choose.

"It has begun."

"Isshiki-senpai drew the number one lot. I wonder which cut of meat he will choose?"

"Fish belly meat, perhaps?"

“The meat from the belly of the true sea bream is of the best quality,” Yoshino Yuuki whispered her guess, believing that Isshiki Satoshi would choose the belly meat.

"Yoshino-kun."

“Different parts of a sea bream have different flavors!” Hearing Yoshino Yuuki's guess, Nakiri Alice shook her finger.

"The belly meat of the real sea bream is indeed the part with the highest fat content. The fat is evenly distributed and the muscle fibers are extremely fine, resulting in a soft, tender, and sweet taste."

"But the texture is not as firm and refreshing as the back meat of the fish."

"Although the meat of the fish tail has a stronger fibrous texture, it also has the advantages of a lively taste and outstanding freshness."

"They say it's a difference in quality."

"Actually, it's just that the flavors are different. Different dishes and cooking methods require different flavors."

“Sashimi cuisine.”

"The best part is the belly of the fish, followed by the back meat."

"But stewed or boiled dishes."

"Fish tail meat is actually the best choice. It doesn't get dry even after long cooking and has a rich flavor. The back meat is the next best choice, while the belly meat is not very suitable."

"But Ah Liang, that idiot!"

"He actually drew the worst number four! He's not only an idiot, he's a complete idiot!" Alice seemed to be halfway through her sentence when her expression suddenly turned angry.

Tadokoro Megumi and others: ? ? ?

No!

How can Alice Nakiri's emotions fluctuate so much? They change in an instant!

Just moments ago we were analyzing the pros and cons of the ingredients, and suddenly the conversation shifted to Ryo Kurokiba, acting like a four or five-year-old child.

……

Now let's start selecting ingredients.

The first person to go, Satoshi Isshiki, did not take the belly meat of the fish, but instead reached out and took the back meat.

Immediately afterwards.

The second person to go, Tsukasa Eishi, also did not choose the belly meat of the sea bream, but chose the tail meat, leaving the belly meat for Xiang Ji and the other two to choose from.

"Fish back and fish tail?"

"Neither Isshiki-senpai nor Tsukasa-senpai chose fish belly?" Tadokoro Megumi first looked at Isshiki Keiran and then at Tsukasa Eishi.

"It's Xiang Ji's turn."

"Which part will Senior Xiang choose? Now all that's left are the fish belly, head, bones, and internal organs."

"Is that even a question?"

"Xiao Hui, Senior Xiang Ji would definitely choose fish heads and the like," Yoshino Yuuki said confidently after Tadokoro Megumi finished speaking.

And just as Yoshino Yuuki said, Xiang Ji did not choose the fish belly meat, but instead chose to take the head of the sea bream.

……

"Ahhhh!"

"asshole!"

"Are you three bastards looking down on me? Are you worried I'll kill you bastards?!"

Just as Xiang Ji was selecting the head of the true sea bream, Kurokiba Ryo suddenly roared in anger as he looked at the last piece of fish belly meat that was left.

Upon hearing Kurokiba Ryo's roar, Tadokoro Megumi trembled instantly, looking at the enraged Kurokiba Ryo with fear.

Besides fear, Tadokoro Megumi's face also showed confusion.

What's going on?

Isn't it a good thing that the mackerel's belly meat wasn't chosen and was saved for last? Why is Kurokiba Ryo so angry?

"Kurokiba".

“I didn’t mean to look down on you at all!” Xiang Ji said calmly.

"I just chose the head of a sea bream, which actually shows how seriously I'm taking this food battle!"

"One color".

"Didn't you just say that I wasn't taking our match seriously?" After speaking with Kurokiba Ryo, Xiang Ji turned his gaze back to Isshiki Satoshi.

"Then let's get ready."

"The dish I'm preparing comes from a top chef in China."

Chapter 49 The Most Ferocious Dragon Chef in the History of Chinese Cuisine

As soon as Xiang Ji finished speaking, Si Yingshi and the others' faces immediately filled with anticipation, their fiery eyes fixed on Xiang Ji.

Recipes left behind by the legendary Dragon Chef in China?

This is absolutely amazing!

Now I actually have the chance to see the dishes that the legendary Dragon Chef of China once cooked?

Not only Tsukasa Eishi and his group, but also Tadokoro Megumi, Sakaki Ryoko, Yoshino Yuuki and others were staring intently at Xiang Ji.

Especially Ryudou Kobayashi, who served as a judge, his eyes practically lit up.

……

"real or fake?"

"The recipes left behind by the legendary Dragon Chef? Senior Xiang Ji actually inherited the Dragon Chef's skills?" Yoshino Yuuki was completely shocked by Xiang Ji's words.
