Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

When Senzaemon Nakiri spoke, it felt like his cheek, which had just been hit by the rubber knife, was still very sore.

"Yes, grandfather."

"Ryo and I will be careful." Alice Nakiri was still very well-behaved and ladylike in front of Senzaemon Nakiri, completely unlike the childish behavior she showed in front of Ryo Kurokiba.

"By the way, Alice, are you planning to move out?" Senzaemon asked after returning the toy knife to Alice.

Just now, Senzaemon Nakiri hid behind the bushes by the door because he heard from the servants that Alice Nakiri was moving out of the Nakiri family and going to live elsewhere.

“Yes, Grandfather, A-Liang and I are preparing to move to the Polaris Dormitory in Far Moon.”

Ji Xing Lao?

Upon hearing about the Polaris Dormitory from Alice Nakiri, Senzaemon Nakiri's single eye instantly revealed an incredibly complex mix of emotions.

For Senzaemon Nakiri, the Polaris Dormitory was a place he both loved and hated.

The head chef of the Totsuki Resort, Gin Dojima, is now a key figure in the Totsuki Group and a member of the Polaris-ryo Golden Generation.

Among the students who graduated from Polaris Dormitory at the same time were Joichiro Saiba and Riko Ebizawa, among others.

Of course, there's also Nakamura Itaru, or rather Nakiri Itaru, who he finds hard to let go of.

If it weren't for Nakamura Satoru, his daughter Nakiri Managi's anorexia wouldn't have worsened, and his granddaughter Nakiri Erina wouldn't have suffered such severe psychological trauma.

"Jiuxing Lao?"

"Alice, why do you suddenly want to move to the Polaris Dormitory?" Senzaemon Nakiri continued.

"Well..."

“Grandfather, Ah Liang and I met a senior in the Polaris Dormitory who had inherited the Chinese Dragon Chef’s skills. Ah Liang and I moved to Far Moon to learn his knife skills from him.”

"China's Dragon Chef?"

"Alice, you said that the Dragon Chef's legacy that the senior received belonged to which Dragon Chef?" Senzaemon Nakiri asked in a deep voice.

"Seven Star Blade, Seven Star Blade Raine."

"That's right."

“What Senior Xiang Ji was talking about was the Seven Star Blade, Raine.” Alice Nakiri blinked.

Chapter 68 The Legacy of the Dark Cuisine World Is Not So Gentle

When he heard Alice Nakiri say the name Rein, Senzaemon Nakiri's pupils suddenly contracted.

Seven-Star Blade Raine!

Even many culinary families in the Chinese food world, upon hearing the name Renn, were impressed.

The first person that comes to mind is Seven Star Blade Raine—the culprit who caused culinary turmoil in the Chinese culinary world and the most ferocious dragon chef in Chinese history.

However, the Nakiri family lineage comes from Liu Maoxing's apprentice, Nakiri Shiro.

The Nakiri family has a large number of notes left by Nakiri Shiro, which record many secrets about the Chinese culinary world that are no longer known.

For example, the "truth" hidden behind the turmoil in the Chinese culinary world.

Chef Raine, along with others involved in the culinary upheavals of the Chinese food world, are actually chefs of the dark cuisine world.

The Dark Cuisine World is an evil organization in the Chinese culinary world with a history of over 800 years, which attempts to control the Chinese culinary world through its cuisine.

The terrifying aspects of the Dark Cuisine are clearly recorded in the half-notebook that Nakiri Shiro, the ancestor of the Nakiri family, inherited from Liu Maoxing.

And now, the legacy of the Seven Star Blade, Raine, has actually appeared in the world.

Is the Seven Star Knife Rein that Alice Nakiri mentioned, which he inherited, the Seven Star Knife Rein, or is it the legendary inheritance of the Dark Cuisine world?

……

"Alice, what exactly are the courses you're learning from that student named Xiang Ji?"

"Running and sit-ups, and stuff like that..."

"Senior Xiang Ji is now making us train our physical strength with him, saying that our physical strength is too poor..." Alice Nakiri's voice sounded somewhat depressed.

Running? Sit-ups?

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's reply, Senzaemon Nakiri shook his head, feeling that he was being a little too sensitive.

The legacy of the "dark cuisine" world?

Where in the world of dark cuisine is there such gentleness in the inheritance? The notes that Liu Maoxing left for his ancestor Shiro reveal a few scales and claws, which are enough to make one's heart tremble.

Moreover, after the culinary upheavals in the Chinese food world, the dark cuisine scene has long since disappeared into the annals of history. How could there possibly be any inheritors of the dark cuisine scene now?

The Xiang Ji that Alice just mentioned should only be someone who has obtained a small portion of the Seven Star Blade Rein's legacy.

There are many such fortunate and unfortunate aspects to this story. The culinary upheaval in the Chinese food world caused many master chefs' notes and recipes from China to be scattered all over the world.

Records exist in the Americas, Europe, India... and even Africa.

Among all the artifacts related to the Dragon Chef unearthed around the world, the one with the most records is Jie Lu, as if Jie Lu's footprints can be found all over the world.

Just recently, Daily Auction announced that someone had consigned a recipe by Chef Xie Lu for auction.

……

After asking Alice Nakiri a few simple questions, Senzaemon Nakiri left with his arms tucked into his sleeves, without pressing her further.

Inheritance is simply inheritance.

For example, Nakiri Shiro, the ancestor of the Nakiri family, inherited the skills of Liu Maoxing, the strongest dragon chef in history, but he was not even a master chef.

Even if a Dragon Chef leaves behind a legacy and becomes incredibly famous, in the end, it's still the chef himself who matters.

Moreover, Xiang Ji is ultimately a student of Totsuki Academy. If he truly has the qualifications, he will naturally come to him when it's time for his dormitory study.

……

"Now let's warmly welcome Senior Tsukasa, Senior Ryudou, Nakiri, and Kurokiba to our Polaris Dormitory."

"Come on, let's all have a toast!" Isshiki Satoshi, wearing a pink apron over his shirt, was the first to raise his glass.

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Why does everyone have to hold a party in my room?!" While Isshiki Satoshi and the others were welcoming Kobayashi Ryundou and the others, Marui Zenji protested loudly in a somewhat frantic manner.

He spent several hours this afternoon cleaning up the traces left from last night's party.

"There's nothing we can do about it!"

"Who told you that your room in our Polaris Dormitory is the biggest?" Yoshino Yuuki said casually. "My room can't possibly fit so many people."

"Mmmmmmm!"

“The rooms at Polaris Dormitory are indeed too small; there’s simply no room for all my equipment.” Alice Nakiri nodded seriously.

"Alice, you can ask Granny Wenxu for a separate dormitory room to store your equipment."

“For example, I have a room specifically for raising small animals, Ryoko has a dedicated fermentation room, and Ibu has his own smoking room…” Yoshino Yuuki enthusiastically shared with Nakiri Alice.

"Huh? So we can have another room?" Alice Nakiri exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course."

"Anyway, there aren't many people living in our Polaris Dormitory, so the rooms are just sitting empty anyway," Yoshino Yuuki said matter-of-factly.

"I see!"

“Then I will go to see Granny Wenxu tomorrow,” Alice Nakiri continued.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, Yuuki, you guys should be watching me! Don't think you can just ignore me like that!"

Seeing Yoshino Yuuki and the others gathered in twos and threes, chatting amongst themselves and ignoring him, Marui Zenji finally lost his temper and went berserk.

But at that moment, Shoji Sato and Daigo Aoki grabbed Zenji Marui from both sides and pulled him outside.

"Marui, Granny Fumio said there's something to eat in the kitchen. Let's go get it together."

"and many more!"

"Why do you want me to go with you to get it?" Marui Zenji protested loudly.

"Since you're the only one who has nothing to do right now, come on, come on, Sato and I are also preparing some side dishes, but the two of us can't carry them all!"

"Is that so?"

“Then I’ll bring up what I’ve smoked,” said Shun Ibuzaki, standing up.

"I see!"

"I've never experienced the charm of those adorable girls I've raised, Alice. Today, I'll show you!" Yoshino Yuuki rolled up her sleeves, ready to get down to business.

"Oh, so everyone was prepared?"

"So, Megumi, what have you prepared?" Kobayashi Ryudou, who was holding Megumi Tadokoro, reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Me~Me~Me~~"

"Hey hey hey? So Xiaohui, you didn't prepare anything? That's really sad. Xiaohui, do you not like us?"

"No, Ryudai-senpai, I'll go prepare now," Tadokoro Megumi said nervously.

……

While Yoshino Yuuki and the others were preparing the banquet dishes, Isshiki Satoshi suddenly took out a black, envelope-like object from the pocket of his apron and stuffed it into Xiang Ji's hand.

“Senior Xiang Ji, I think you would be interested in this,” Isshiki Satoshi said with a smile.

Chapter 69 The Auction and Master Xie, the Innately Evil Seven-Star Blade Imp

What is this?

Xiang Ji looked at the black envelope handed to him by Isshiki Hui with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Senior Xiang Ji, the envelope contains an invitation to the Daily Auction House's auction." Isshiki Satoshi smiled as she looked at Xiang Ji.

"At this Daily Auction House auction, it's said that several items were left behind by top chefs from the Chinese mainland..."

China's Dragon Chef?

Upon hearing Isshiki Satoshi's words, Xiang Ji immediately became interested in this daily auction, while Yoshino Yuuki and the others also looked at Isshiki Satoshi with curiosity.

After witnessing Xiang Ji's knife skills, which were inherited from the Seven Star Blade Raine, Ryoko Sakaki and the others became increasingly interested in Chinese dragon chefs.

"Isshiki-senpai, who are the Chinese Dragon Chefs you mentioned who were featured in the auction?" Ryoko Sakaki asked curiously.

"This..."

"I'm not entirely sure who those dragon chefs are, but I do know the identity of one of them."

"Who exactly is Isshiki-senpai?"

"Jie Lu!"

"Jie Lu? The strongest pastry chef in the history of Chinese cuisine?" Just as Isshiki Satoshi finished speaking, a shocked scream suddenly erupted from the dormitory entrance.

"Marui, why are you suddenly so excited?" Aoki Daigo, who was carrying a late-night snack, was startled by Marui Zenji's voice.

"Is that even a question?"

"Daigo, Jielu is the best pastry chef in Chinese cuisine, and also the Dragon Chef with the most records in the world." Marui Zenji's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Master Jielu's footsteps have traversed the world, leaving behind a wealth of what he saw and heard around the world."

"Master Jielu's travelogues and ancient books record countless rare cooking techniques and unusual ingredients from all over the world..."

"The culinary world now preserves a large number of complete and precious ancient books on food, all left behind by Master Jie Lu." Marui Zenji excitedly explained to Aoki Daigo the great contributions Jie Lu made to the culinary world.

"Jie Lu?"

“I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before. Oh right, isn’t he the same as that Seven Star Blade Rein, both of them…” Yoshino Yuuki exclaimed in surprise.

"That's fake!"

“How could a culinary scholar like Master Jielu be an accomplice of Seven Star Blade Rein?” Marui Zenji retorted immediately before Yoshino Yuuki could finish speaking.

……

Does the steel rod help with Lu?
