Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

Moreover, according to Yoshino Yuuki and the others, Xiang Ji seems to have mastered the dishes created by the legendary Dragon Chef.

sizzle!

Who exactly is this guy named Xiang Ji? Could he be from a culinary family descended from a legendary master chef in the Chinese culinary world?

As a late-night chef who operates on the fringes of the culinary world, Sachi knows all too well just how terrifying the Chinese culinary world truly is.

Compared to Sachi's complex gaze, Momo Akane's look at Xiang Ji was much simpler.

Pure curiosity!

Momoko Akane just wanted to try the flavor of the flame-flamed dumplings.

"No problem, you can all come together."

"It just so happens that the manuscript I won contains a dumpling recipe. Let's have a dumpling party tonight."

Since we've already agreed to make fire dumplings for Yoshino Yuuki and the others, with so many people already, it wouldn't make a difference to add Sachi and Akanekubo Momo.

Moreover, Xiang Ji was also very curious about the taste of Sachi Armored Cuisine.

A dumpling festival?

After Xiang Ji spoke, Yoshino Yuuki and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all started rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

"A dumpling festival?"

"That sounds interesting! I happen to have a few culinary inspirations I'd like to test out recently."

Is this considered a food battle?

"Food Wars? I won't lose to you, you bastard, again."

"You idiot Liang, when did you put on a headscarf? Take it off right now."

"Ugh, ugh, this is so troublesome."

"Can I not participate in your competition and just serve as a judge?"

"Dumplings? Although I'm not very good at this type of dish, since it's a food battle, I won't give up easily."

"Yuuki, Ibu-kun, Marui-kun, Ryoko..." The only person present was Tadokoro Megumi, who looked at Yoshino Yuuki and the others who were now burning, at a loss.

What's going on here?

Why did it suddenly become like this?

Yes!

How did it turn out like this?

Xiang Ji stared at the vast, empty cooking area in front of him, a hint of speechlessness on his face.

They just said they were going to have a small dumpling party in the Polaris Dormitory, but now it's turned into a dumpling-themed food battle.

Except for Ryudou Kobayashi, who didn't want to participate, all the members of Polaris Dormitory participated, either voluntarily or involuntarily.

"Hey hey hey~"

"Hey hey hey~"

"The first Polaris Dormitory Dumpling Contest, specially sponsored by Alice, is about to begin," Ryudou Kobayashi said, acting as the host.

"And who are the participants?"

"The first contestant is Xiao Hui, the cutest girl in our Polaris dormitory, and also the contestant I have the most faith in in this competition."

"Go for it, Megumi." Kobayashi Ryūdō made no attempt to hide her special fondness for Tadokoro Megumi.

"Cutest?"

“I’m the cutest, right, Butch?” Momoko Akane stared intently at Megumi Tadokoro after hearing Ryudou Kobayashi’s words.

Why?

Why should I participate in this Polaris Dormitory dumpling competition? I never said I was going to participate.

The way Akanekubo-senpai looked at me was terrifying. What had I done to offend Akanekubo-senpai?

Someone please save me!

……

"Megumi? Megumi is indeed a very strong opponent." After hearing Kobayashi Ryudou's words, Isshiki Satoshi said in full agreement.

“Indeed.” Xiang Ji nodded in agreement.

Of all the students at Totsuki Academy, Xiang Ji had the highest opinion of Tadokoro Megumi.

As for the reason?

It's not because Megumi Tadokoro is the future Totsuki Ten Masters, but because of Megumi Tadokoro's culinary philosophy.

With diners in mind, we use simple ingredients to convey our feelings, allowing those who eat the food to feel a peaceful warmth.

In the world of "Cooking Master Boy," there exists a chef with similar philosophies: Fairy Chen Bangling, the supreme dragon chef of the Chinese culinary world.

Chapter 82 Culinary Philosophy: The Overbearing Power to Conquer Everything

Fairy Bei, played by Chen Bangling, is Liu Maoxing's mother.

He once fought to a draw with the Dark Five Tigers' Blazing Asia, and before Liu Maoxing, he was considered by Yunlong Kaiyou, one of the Dark Five Tigers, to be the most dangerous existence in the Dark Cuisine world.

This shows just how terrifying Chef Abe's culinary skills are.

Of course.

No two leaves are the same, just as no two chefs are the same.

Even if Megumi Tadokoro's culinary philosophy is similar to that of Abe no Shiro, it doesn't mean that Megumi Tadokoro will necessarily grow to the level of Abe no Shiro.

Let alone the Supreme Dragon Chef, there isn't even a truly master chef in the Chinese culinary world right now.

Regardless, the "Heartfelt Cuisine" philosophy, which considers the needs of diners, fully unleashes Megumi Tadokoro's potential.

Even the two main characters, Soma Yukihira and Erina Nakiri, cannot compare to Megumi Tadokoro.

Who says this world isn't just a simple Food Wars! world?

Continuously break through and innovate?

The ultimate perfect experience?

How can Soma Yukihira and his team compete with a culinary philosophy that prioritizes the needs of diners?

It's worth noting that even Liu Maoxing's culinary philosophy was inherited from Chef Abe.

Even if Soma Yukihira and Erina Nakiri are strong, can they still be stronger than Liu Maoxing, the strongest dragon chef in history?

……

"Eh? So Megumi is that strong?" Alice Nakiri looked at the trembling Megumi Tadokoro with some surprise.

"Is he very strong?"

"Then let me see just how strong you really are!" Kurokiba Ryo, with a headscarf tied around his head, stared fiercely at Tadokoro Megumi.

"I see. No wonder Kobayashi said you were the cutest, Megumi." Momoko tilted her head and firmly memorized Megumi Tadokoro's appearance.

If it were just Kobayashi Ryudou and Isshiki Satoshi praising him, it wouldn't have caused such a stir, but who told Xiang Ji to speak up?

Si Yingshi and the others didn't think Xiang Ji was joking; it was the first time they had ever heard Xiang Ji praise someone.

……

Waaaaah~

It's one thing for Isshiki-senpai to agree, but why would even Xiang Ji-senpai agree with Long Dan-senpai's words?

I'm clearly very weak!

It took me a month to pass the admission test for Polaris Dormitory, and my grades were usually among the worst...

Feeling the gazes of Sachi, Ryo Kurokiba, Momo Akanekubo, and Eishi Tsukasa, Megumi Tadokoro felt as helpless as a little white rabbit being targeted by a wolf.

very scary!

Now, who will save me?!

However, Tadokoro Megumi was unaware that Xiang Ji's approval was genuine, because culinary philosophy is something that cannot be put into practice simply by knowing it.

Knowing something is one thing, doing it is another.

For example, the author knows that he should save up manuscripts during holidays, but he simply can't save them up. Xiang Ji is in the same situation.

Even though I know that the answer is to consider the needs of diners and to make food bring them happiness, I simply can't achieve those two states of mind.

Xiang Ji's passion for cooking is not pure enough.

If I had to put it in perspective, cooking was a tool for Xiang Ji, a tool used to unlock the legendary kitchen utensils.

Fortunately, the conditions for being recognized by the legendary kitchenware are not only having a pure passion for cooking; as long as your cooking skills are strong enough, you can also gain the recognition of the legendary kitchenware.

When the Greedy Wolf Pot was sealed in Mount Tai, it was Yan Xian, the prodigal son of the Dark Five Tigers, who broke the seal with his absolute culinary skills.

The original intention of pure cooking.

Ultimate culinary skills.

These two methods of obtaining legendary kitchenware approval can be seen as the benevolent way and the domineering way.

Authentic cuisine is the way to go.

Not only must they be good at fighting, but they must also have a sufficiently righteous heart.

The ultimate culinary skill is domineering; it's not just about being able to fight, it's about being extremely capable.

……

"Oh, so Xiang Ji-kun thinks highly of Xiao Hui just like me?" Kobayashi Ryudou's face was full of smiles. "My Xiao Hui is indeed the best."

"The second contestant is Alice Nakiri, who specializes in molecular gastronomy."

"Hmph, I won't lose."

"The third contestant is our contestant, Ryo Kurokiba."

"Eh? Rindou-senpai, you're being way too biased!" Alice Nakiri said, pouting after hearing Rindou Kobayashi's introduction.

"Alice-chan, time is limited. There are still many people behind us." Kobayashi Ryudou smiled, revealing her canine teeth.

"Aaaaah! I'm going to kill all of you bastards."

"Idiot A-Liang, didn't you see I was talking to Senior Rindai?"

"Shut up, you're so noisy! If you want to act like a spoiled princess in front of me, wait until you beat me again!"

"Shut up? You idiot, Ah Liang, you actually told me to shut up? You heartless bastard, have you forgotten who picked you up?"

"Hey hey hey, our Alice and Kurokiba had a little scuffle, now let's welcome our fourth player, Tsukasa Eishi!"

Ryudou Kobayashi's guest appearance as a host was characterized by his free-spirited approach; the time he spent introducing Eishi Tsukasa was even less than the time he spent recounting the argument between Alice Nakiri and Ryo Kurokiba.

……

"The last athlete is our national athlete."

"The participants of the first Polaris Liao Dumpling Competition have now all been introduced. Next, we will discuss the winning conditions for this year's dumpling competition."

"The winning conditions are very simple."

The final winner will be determined by the number of plates that finish eating dumplings, with a time limit of four hours.

Special note.

"The contestants can't eat their own food, and they can't have one dumpling on one plate," Kobayashi Ryudou added, tilting his head.

Yoshino Yuki: "..."

Ryo Kurokiba: "..."

Are you kidding me!

Who would use such a tactic in a match? Did Kobayashi Ryudou think her joke was funny?
