Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

If I could photograph this wild albino female, that would be really great. Among the knife skills of the dark cuisine world is the ability to ensure that the albino female doesn't die while painlessly laying eggs.

The Seven Stars swiftly sliced ​​open!

Xiang Ji's sexy yet dangerous ancestor, Xiang En, used this unique swordsmanship technique in his duel with another ancestor, Lei En, on the Loulin warship.

Wild albino female jaguar - when combined with the Seven Stars Swift Cutting Technique, it's a veritable treasure trove.

Money is secondary.

Most importantly, this ensures a consistent production of top-quality ingredients.

However, there is still a small problem: Xiang Ji's Seven Star Swift Blade Technique is not up to Xiang En's level, and he also lacks a Wuqu Blade to complement this technique.

After hearing Xiang Ji's words, Isshiki Satoshi originally wanted to say that he could lend Xiang Ji money, but when he saw that Xiang Ji did not say anything more, he did not speak.

……

Alba white truffles from Italy;

A set of blue lobster, spotted lobster, and pink albino lobster.

……

Following the sale of wild albino female pheasants, various other rare and precious ingredients have subsequently appeared.

However, Xiang Ji's attention wasn't focused on the food that followed; it wasn't as tempting to him as the wild albino female.

Soon, a new item was brought up for auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us now welcome the next item for auction: a recipe left behind by Liu Maoxing, the legendary Dragon Chef of Chinese cuisine." The auctioneer's voice made many people's eyes light up instantly.

Chapter 71 said it all: no one would believe that it was something left behind by Liu Maoxing.

Liu Maoxing?

A recipe left behind by the chosen one of MasterChef Ninja? No, is there really something so precious at this auction?

As expected, I was the one who was chosen by the legend of kitchenware selection.

While Xiang Ji was anticipating whether the recipe left by Liu Maoxing would be a braised twice-cooked pork or a crystal phoenix,

I was speechless for a moment when the staff brought me a half-page of a tattered, torn page.

"Special Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork".

"This recipe was left by Chef Liu Maoxing when he was the head chef at Juxialou Restaurant." The auctioneer continued to tirelessly introduce the origin of the recipe.

Special Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork?

Although Xiang Ji wasn't entirely sure whether Liu Maoxing had actually made this dish, since his equipment wasn't responding at all, the so-called recipe left by Liu Maoxing in front of him was most likely fake.

……

"Senior Xiang Ji, are you interested in this ancient recipe left by Chef Liu Maoxing?" Isshiki Satoshi noticed the change in Xiang Ji's expression.

"That's it!"

“If it really is a recipe left behind by Liu Maoxing, I would be quite interested, but I feel that something is wrong with this recipe,” Xiang Ji replied calmly.

"a ha ha ha!"

“Senior Xiang Ji, if it really were the original recipe manuscript left by Chef Liu Maoxing, how could it possibly be here?” Isshiki Satoshi revealed a meaningful smile.

So, are the recipes supposedly left behind by Liu Maoxing really fake?

Counterfeit goods are indeed common in every world. I just wonder which unlucky person spent tens of millions to buy a fake recipe.

……

"Alice, are you really going to buy this ancient recipe?" Tadokoro Megumi asked, somewhat bewildered, as she watched Nakiri Alice constantly raising her sign.

Apart from Megumi Tadokoro, the other Yoshino Yuuki members in the Nakiri Alice private room were all pretty much the same, except for Ryudou Kobayashi, Eishi Tsukasa, and Ryo Kurokiba, who didn't seem to react to the matter.

“Of course, isn’t this a recipe left by Dragon Chef Liu Maoxing?” Alice Nakiri blinked.

"Alice, the ancient recipe in front of you may not necessarily be the one left behind by Chef Liu Maoxing."

"The recipe in front of you is very likely left behind by some other chef hundreds of years ago, just using Liu Maoxing's name, just like many Chinese restaurants like to say that their dishes come from a certain master chef."

"Eh? No way?"

"Didn't he just say that the recipes were left by Liu Maoxing?" Alice Nakiri's eyes widened immediately after hearing Marui Zenji's advice.

"Miss, shall we place an offer now?" Kurokiba Ryo's voice rang out at that moment.

"Give me another five million, and I'll buy Liu Maoxing's recipe." Alice Nakiri swung her fist forcefully.

"Since Xiang Ji was able to learn the knife skills of Seven Star Blade Raine, then I will definitely be able to learn the dishes left by Liu Maoxing."

"..."

"..."

Looking at the confident-looking Alice Nakiri in front of them, Megumi Tadokoro and the others didn't know what to say.

"Oh no, miss, I think I accidentally pressed eight million when I made the bid."

"Honestly, Ryo, you idiot, you can't even do something this simple right? You can't do this again next time," Alice Nakiri said to Kurokiba lecturingly.

"Yes, ma'am."

Upon hearing the conversation between Kurokiba Ryo and Nakiri Alice, Yoshino Yuuki and the others couldn't help but twitch their lips.

What right do these poor bastards have to worry about Miss Alice Nakiri being scammed? What is this little bit of money to the Nakiri family?

……

One hundred and forty-five million!

Upon seeing the final price of Liu Maoxing's recipe, Xiang Ji couldn't help but marvel at how many rich people there are in this world.

Even fake recipes can fetch hundreds of millions at auction; if they were real, the price would be astronomical!

After Liu Maoxing's special recipe for shredded pork with garlic sauce was sold, the next item up for auction made Xiang Ji's lips twitch violently.

……

A special recipe for Kung Pao Chicken, left behind by Liu Maoxing.

A recipe for specially made twice-cooked pork, left behind by Liu Maoxing.

This is a recipe for special Mapo Tofu, left behind by Liu Maoxing.

……

No!

Although Liu Maoxing was from Sichuan in China, it's not right to claim that a Sichuan cuisine recipe was left by him.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, the number of recipes left by Liu Maoxing that are being put up for auction now is almost comparable to that of Juxialou.

Who would believe these ancient recipes are genuine?

"Senior Xiang Ji, although these recipes may not have been left by Chef Liu Maoxing, they are definitely ancient recipes left by chefs from the Shun Dynasty or even earlier in China."

"Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be bidding." Isshiki Satoshi seemed to see Xiang Ji's speechlessness and explained to him with a smile.

The so-called recipes left by Liu Maoxing are definitely fake, but only the ones left by Liu Maoxing are fake; the antiques are genuine.

After hearing Isshiki Satoshi's explanation, Xiang Ji finally understood why so many people were bidding on the counterfeit goods.

It turns out to be a genuine antique!

Sure enough! I knew it! Who would really believe that these ancient recipes were left behind by Liu Maoxing?

……

"That's really amazing."

"There's one! So the legendary Dragon Chef Liu Maoxing left behind so many recipes?" Alice Nakiri exclaimed excitedly.

"Ah Liang, buy this recipe for me too."

"Yes, Miss." Kurokiba Ryo obeyed Nakiri Alice's offer without any hesitation.

Tired, let's destroy it!

Seeing Alice Nakiri happily snapping up another copy of Chef Liu Maoxing's recipe, Yoshino Yuuki and the others didn't even have the energy to say another word of advice.

Buy it then!

Since Alice Nakiri has already taken so many photos, one more won't make a difference.

……

With Alice Nakiri, a wealthy young lady, around, the auction proceeded at breakneck speed.

Alice Nakiri truly doesn't value money. Whenever she sees something she wants, she just mindlessly throws money at it, without caring about the bottom price or markups.

Before we knew it, the auction was coming to an end.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us now welcome the final item of this auction."

"The legendary Dragon Chef of Chinese cuisine, the greatest gastronomic scholar in the history of the culinary world, Master Jie Lu's culinary manuscripts." The auctioneer's voice rose higher and higher with each sentence.

When the staff brought up the manuscript in the glass case, Xiang Ji's equipment bar reacted instantly.

【Ding dong! 】

[Equipable item detected (normal).]

The equipment slots have been triggered?

No!

Could the manuscript in front of him really be left behind by Jie Lu? Xiang Ji's body instantly straightened up.

Chapter 72 I want the item, but I don't want to pay for it. What should I do?

After experiencing the baptism of Liu Maoxing's special recipes for Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-cooked Pork, and Mapo Tofu, etc.

Originally, Xiang Ji had no expectations whatsoever regarding the so-called manuscript left by Jie Lu.

According to Xiang Ji, the so-called culinary manuscripts left by Jie Lu were simply a change of name to Jie Lu because the name Liu Maoxing had been used too much.

Who would have thought that Xie Lu's manuscript was actually genuine?

No, no!

The manuscript in front of you may not necessarily be the one left by Jie Lu. After all, the Yuan Yue Chinese Cuisine Research Association claims it is Chef Long's recipe, but it is actually the manuscript of Dumpling Brothers, a master chef.

But since this manuscript can trigger the equipment slots, whoever left it behind must have something valuable.

……

"The starting price is 140 trillion, and each bid must be at least 5 million higher!"

"..."

"..." After hearing the auctioneer announce the starting price, Xiang Ji silently put down the bidding device in his hand.

One hundred and forty million?

I now have over 50 million in my account, and 50 million of that was tuition money from Issei Hui. Otherwise, all I have is the living expenses left by my grandfather.

I can't afford it! I can't afford it!

I can't even afford the starting bid, let alone the current price which is already approaching 300 million.

Are there really that many rich people in Japan?

And just as Xiang Ji was thinking about how to buy things without paying, Isshiki Satoshi's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Senior Xiang Ji, are you interested in this manuscript by Master Jie Lu?"

“Yes, but I can’t come up with that much money.” Xiang Ji glanced at the price, which had now reached four hundred million.

“Senior Xiang Ji, if you really want this manuscript by Master Jie Lu, I can actually help you,” Isshiki Satoshi continued with a smile.

Hmm? That's right!

How could I have forgotten about Isshiki Satoshi, the future heir of the Isshiki family?

Four hundred million yen is an astronomical sum for them, but it's nothing to the Isshiki family. Do they even know how prestigious Nishi Isshiki is in the Japanese culinary world?
