Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

While Marui Zenji and Yoshino Yuuki were arguing, Xiang Ji's mind also flashed with memories related to Jielu, though of course not the records of this world after the modification.

Like his ancestor Rein, Master Xie was Liu Maoxing's former companion, and both were chefs chosen by the legendary kitchen utensils.

The legendary kitchenware chosen by Jielu is called the Spirit Treasury, which has the ability to preserve food indefinitely.

The legendary owner of kitchen utensils.

A top-notch pastry chef whose culinary skills rival those of the Dark Five, he even managed to marry Myra, the empress of the Dark Five.

What Master Xie left behind?

Seeing no reason to miss out, Xiang Ji simply accepted the invitation from the Daily Auction House.

"Isshiki, thank you. I will accept your invitation without hesitation."

"You're welcome."

"Consider this a small gift from me to you, senior." Isshiki Satoshi's lips curled up slightly. The invitation he sent out was originally prepared by Isshiki Satoshi specifically for Xiang Ji.

Isshiki Satoshi had already heard detailed descriptions from his classmates about what Xiang Ji did when he barged into the Chinese Cuisine Research Association this afternoon.

"Isshiki-kun~~ Tsukasa and I are also your seniors."

"So, do Tsukasa and I also have gifts?" At that moment, Kobayashi Ryudou, who was holding Tadokoro Megumi, suddenly came over and smiled as he extended his palm to Isshiki Satoshi.

"Of course, Senior Longdan."

"I prepared a special welcome performance for you and Tsukasa-senpai, Rindou-senpai." Isshiki Satoshi stood up with a smile.

Welcome to the performance?

Upon hearing Isshiki Satoshi's words, Tadokoro Megumi felt a sense of unease.

Immediately afterwards.

Tadokoro Megumi saw Isshiki Satoshi's clothes and apron fly up in front of her like pigeons.

……

"Oh oh oh oh!"

"Here it appears, Isshiki-senpai's special pose with his crotch cloth covering his body."

"a ha ha ha!"

"Isshiki, you're really something else. Tsukasa, why don't you join Isshiki for one now?"

"No, I can't..."

"Why not? Si, ​​go up there now!"

"Hahaha, drinks, is there anything else to drink?"

"Senior Longdan, I have some freshly chilled golden tea here. Would you like some now?"

"Golden tea? Pour me a cup! Just a little."

"Hey, Sakaki, when did you put your tea in my fridge? And you guys, stop touching my dorm stuff!"

……

Just messing around and doing random things~

And so another noisy and chaotic night passed in Polaris Dormitory.

After the morning training ended, Xiang Ji and the others had breakfast and then parted ways at the entrance of the Polaris dormitory to attend their respective classes for the day.

Today's lesson is about cultivation and planting.

When Xiang Ji arrived at the designated planting field for the cultivation and planting class, he felt that all the students around him were staring at him.

The gaze was so intense that Xiang Ji even felt a stinging sensation.

Strangely, no one in the class dared to meet Xiang Ji's gaze. Whenever their eyes met, those looking at Xiang Ji would quickly look away.

What's going on?

Is there something wrong with me? Xiang Ji looked down at himself, but found nothing amiss, so he put the matter out of his mind.

……

"Phew~ Class is finally over."

"Did you notice the way he looked at us just now? It was terrifying! He looked like he wanted to eat us alive."

"Who can argue with that?"

"What bad luck that we're assigned to the same class as such a terrifying guy."

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on with you guys? Why are you all so afraid of that guy? Who is he?"

"Isn't it?"

"Haven't you heard of the Chinese Demon? He's the Akiri Demon who forced someone to drop out of Totsuki Academy with a Food War because they provoked him!"

"What? He's that net-cutter demon?"

"Your information is outdated. Have you not heard about what happened at the Chinese Cuisine Research Association yesterday?"

"The Chinese Cuisine Research Association? What happened to them?"

"You should know that the Chinese Cuisine Research Association supposedly has recipes left behind by Chef Zhang Zhonghua, right?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

"The Net-Cut Demon took a liking to that recipe, and yesterday afternoon he directly attacked the Chinese Cuisine Research Association and snatched the recipe through a food battle."

"Fizz!"

"Didn't anyone stop him?"

"How do we stop it?"

"Even the head of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association is no match for him?"

"The leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association?"

"Why is the person I heard about not being a leading figure in the Chinese cuisine world, but a junior high school student named Kuga Teru?"

"Kuga Teruki?"

"Isn't she an instructor from the Chinese Cuisine Research Association?"

Chapter 70 Auction Items

Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was evening.

After Xiang Ji and Isseki Hui quickly changed their clothes, they prepared to head to the Daily Auction House to attend tonight's auction.

Inside the Polaris Dormitory lobby, Yoshino Yuuki watched Xiang Ji's departing figure and immediately leaned back like a salted fish, listlessly slumping against the back of her chair.

"Ah~ Ahhh~~"

"I really want to go to the auction house with Xiang Ji-senpai and Isshiki-senpai. I think this auction would be very interesting," Yoshino Yuuki muttered to herself.

"Yuuki, don't even think about it."

“I just checked. Daily Auction House only sends auction invitations to professional chefs, food critics, and big names in the Japanese cuisine world.”

"If it weren't for Isshiki-senpai stepping in, even Xiang-senpai wouldn't have been qualified to participate."

"Eeh eh eh?"

"Is it not okay to have money? Aren't auction houses and auctions all about money?" Yoshino Yuuki asked in surprise.

"A legitimate auction would have a bidding deposit of 200 million yen. Do you think an ordinary person could come up with that much money?"

"Two hundred million yen? Why don't they just rob it?" Yoshino Yuuki immediately let out an extremely piercing scream, completely shocked by the amount of money Marui Zenji had mentioned.

Ryoko Sakaki and Megumi Tadokoro also had expressions of disbelief, with Megumi looking as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Two hundred million yen!

How many years would it take for her family's inn to earn that much money? Tadokoro Megumi felt a little dizzy.

"Two hundred million yen? Is that a lot of money?" Alice Nakiri looked at Yuuki Yoshino and the others with a puzzled expression.

Of course, that's a lot! That's 200 million yen!

But upon hearing that the person who had just spoken was Alice Nakiri, Yuuki Yoshino immediately shut her mouth.

Who made Alice Nakiri a member of the Nakiri family? Two hundred million yen is probably just the cost of a few meals for a young lady like Alice Nakiri.

Waaaaah~~

"This is so enviable!" Yoshino Yuuki roared inwardly.

"Yuuki, Megumi... do you really want to go to that auction?" Kobayashi Ryudou suddenly asked with a smile.

"No, no... I didn't..."

"Ryudai-senpai, do you also have an invitation to this auction?" Yoshino Yuuki and Tadokoro Megumi's voices rang out at the same time, but their answers were completely different.

"Yes, but Tsukasa and I can only bring one person at a time." Kobayashi Ryudou pinched Tadokoro Megumi's cheek.

"Xiao Hui~ Do you want to go?"

"I...I...I..." Tadokoro Megumi looked at Kobayashi Ryudou, who was pressed against her face, and suddenly became so nervous that she didn't know how to answer.

"Two people~~" Yoshino Yuuki immediately felt discouraged after Kobayashi Ryudou finished speaking.

There are so many of them now. Even if Kobayashi Ryudou and Tsukasa Eishi can bring two people in, what about the others?

Just then, Alice Nakiri's voice suddenly rang out.

"So, Yuuki, you guys want to try out the daily auction house? Then leave that to me," Alice Nakiri replied, tilting her head.

An invitation to an auction from the Daily Auction House meant absolutely nothing to Alice Nakiri.

Even without using the Nakiri family connection, Alice Nakiri's status and position in the molecular gastronomy world are already more than enough; she is known as the "Goddess of Molecular Gastronomy."

To put it bluntly...

Even if Alice Nakiri is not a member of the Nakiri family, among the students of Totsuki Culinary Arts, the only ones who can surpass her in status in the Japanese culinary world are the Totsuki Ten Masters and Erina Nakiri.

……

At 9 p.m., the daily auction officially begins.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to our daily auction. I am your auctioneer for today, Nakamura," the auctioneer said calmly under the lights, microphone in hand.

"I won't say any more."

"Now I will present the first item for auction today to all the guests." As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a staff member pushed in a square cart covered with a black cloth.

"An albino giant wrasse, female, weighing 700 kg and 75 years old, caught in the Caspian Sea off the coast of Iran, has a starting bid of 30 million yen! Each bid must be at least one million yen!"

"Forty-two million!"

"Forty-five million!"

"Fifty million!"

……

Once the starting price for the first item was announced, the auction price exceeded 50 million in just a few seconds.

Wild albino female giant harlequin, weighing 700 kilograms, is undoubtedly a top-quality caviar ingredient.

The gourmets and foodies who attended this auction were not stingy with their money; for them, satisfying their appetites was the most important thing.

Moreover, the bidders are not only gourmets, but also professional chefs.

Top-quality caviar is a rare ingredient even for professional chefs, and having such ingredients in a restaurant helps attract more customers.

A wild albino female tattooed bird that is seventy years old.

Now, sitting in the private room of Isshoku, Xiang Ji looked at the wild albino female chamois in the water tank with a hint of interest in his eyes.

……

"Senior Xiang Ji, are you also interested in this wild albino female?" Isshiki Satoshi noticed Xiang Ji's expression and immediately asked curiously.

"That's it!"

“But I can’t buy this big guy with my money, and I don’t have anywhere to keep it.” Xiang Ji shook his head.
