Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

If it weren't for the help of Tsukasa Eishi and Isshiki Satoshi, the database for his spice inequality wouldn't have been built so quickly.

In addition, Isshiki Satoshi and his friends would always bring out dishes that were completely unexpected by Xiang Ji, but surprisingly delicious.

Even exceptionally talented individuals like Liu Maoxing and Xie Lu need to travel to different regions, meet and interact with chefs from various places, in order to expand their culinary knowledge and accumulate richer cooking experience.

This goes without saying that in terms of pure culinary talent, Xiang Ji was far inferior to Liu Maoxing.

Similarly, this is why Xiang Jihui doesn't hesitate to share the knife skills secrets of the dark cuisine world.

The stronger Si Yingshi and his team's culinary skills, the more Xiang Ji can benefit from them; it's a completely mutually beneficial relationship.

As for whether teaching the secrets of the dark cuisine world to the Tsukasa Eishi will lead to them being surpassed by the Tsukasa Eishi?

Let's set aside for now whether Eishi and the others can learn the dark techniques like the Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash.

As mentioned earlier, Xiang Ji was a person with a strong sense of entitlement.

Since Tsukasa Eishi and the others have already been surpassed by him, then they will never have a chance to beat him again.

"Xiang Ji, shouldn't you be the one who's truly amazing?"

“Senior Mizuhara devoured your clay pot mutton in one go during the judging just now, while I only took one bite of my dish,” Kobayashi Ryudan said leisurely, looking at Xiang Ji.

"As a chef, this is truly a failure."

“But if we have a food battle later, I won’t lose to you again,” Kobayashi Ryudou said with shining eyes.

"No need for later, let's do it tonight."

"tonight?"

“Our accommodation and study program has been arranged at the Far Moon Resort. It’s such a big resort, I don’t think the school would mind letting us use their kitchen and ingredients,” Xiang Ji replied with a smile.

"No, no."

"I'm all set to enjoy myself tonight." Kobayashi Ryudai rejected Xiang Ji's suggestion without a second thought.

Luxury dinners, natural hot springs, deluxe guest rooms...

Since we've come to such a high-end place as Far Moon Resort, we should enjoy ourselves to the fullest. Why bother going to the kitchen and having a food battle?

Ryudou Kobayashi is not a masochist like Eishi Tsukasa or Satoshi Isshiki in Food Wars.

Furthermore, Kobayashi Rindou has already made plans with Akanekubo Momo to enjoy desserts prepared by the chefs at Totsuki Resort that evening.

All the chefs at Totsuki Resort who are qualified to serve as head chefs are also graduates of Totsuki, except that they did not receive the title of Totsuki Ten Masters while at Totsuki.

Xiang Jixi smiled, not surprised by Kobayashi Ryudai's rejection.

If Ryudou Kobayashi were the kind of food battle fanatic, then my first food battle with him wouldn't have dragged on until now.

……

Time passed quickly, and Fuyumi Mizuhara's project soon came to an end.

"Is the time up?"

"Damn it, damn it, it was just a tiny bit off."

"We're doomed. Does this mean we have to drop out of Totsuki Academy on our very first day of residential training?"

After Fuyumi Mizuhara announced that today's lesson was over, most of the students in the classroom shouted in dissatisfaction.

With severely limited ingredients, the students at Totsuki Academy have very little room to maneuver.

Even a clever housewife can't cook without rice.

The students of Totsuki Academy aren't monsters like Liu Maoxing, so how could they possibly cook up decent dishes when they don't have enough ingredients?

Of course, the passing grade for Liu Maoxing's cooking is that it shines.

In the end, only Xiang Ji and Kobayashi Ryudou received passing scores from Mizuhara Fuyumi.

"That concludes today's lesson. Now I will announce everyone's results for this lesson," said Mizuhara Fuyumi, who was squatting on the ground, without any emotion.

"You, you, you, and you... your grades are satisfactory."

"As for the rest of the people..."

“Your grades in this project are unsatisfactory. Okay, everyone pack your things and get ready to take the bus back to school.” Mizuhara Fuyumi said, jumping off her chair.

As soon as Fuyumi Mizuhara finished speaking, the students in the classroom were silent for a moment, and then burst into a loud noise.

……

"Yes, yes, it's passed?"

“It’s really great that we both passed, Miyazaki.”

"Yeah, I thought I was going to be expelled."

"Waaaaah, I passed! I passed! I don't have to worry about being expelled by Totsuki anymore."

"Thank goodness, I survived! I survived!"

……

Now, all the students who were called on by Mizuhara Fuyumi, upon hearing that they had passed the assignment, immediately roared and shouted to vent their excitement. Some even collapsed on the floor, crying tears of joy.

Some people are happy, while others are dissatisfied.

The students who weren't called on by Mizuhara Fuyumi felt extremely frustrated and annoyed.

On what grounds?

Why did everyone else pass the test while I failed, since none of them produced a dish that would satisfy Mizuhara Fuyumi within the allotted time?

This is completely unfair!

In an instant, a student expressed his dissatisfaction to Mizuhara Fuyumi.

Chapter 94 Dinner Lesson and Hinako Inui

"Chef Suwon, why did their scores pass while ours failed?"

"Yes, yes."

"This is so unfair! Our cooking didn't satisfy you, Chef Mizuhara." After someone spoke up first, other students immediately joined in the protest.

However, instead of an explanation from Fuyumi Mizuhara, they received a cold, hard notice of expulsion.

"You, you, and you, drop out of school. You can pack your things and go back to Tonight. You don't need to stay."

"What? Drop out of school?"

"Why are we suddenly being expelled? Chef Mizuhara, you can't do this! I was just asking my question." Upon hearing that they were going to be expelled, the students who had just spoken immediately became agitated.

"Exactly, exactly! Just because of this, they're making us drop out of school? That's just too much..."

"Shut up. Are you questioning my censorship standards?" Mizuhara Fuyumi stared coldly at the students who had spoken in front of her, showing no intention of explaining herself to them.

The standards for Totsuki's residential study program are determined by the guest lecturers, and even the Totsuki director has no right to interfere. Students who are asked to withdraw do not need to give any explanation.

The cold wind howled!

Upon seeing Mizuhara Fuyumi's icy expression, as cold as an iceberg, the students who had just started to board immediately fell silent, not daring to meet her gaze.

Second seat in the 79th issue of the Far Moon Ten Masters.

Chef of the Italian restaurant Ristorante-F.

World Gastronomy Society (WGO) certified star chef.

The prestige that Fuyumi Mizuhara has cultivated through her status and achievements in the Japanese culinary world is something that even a first-year student at Totsuki High School cannot resist.

Stupid without even realizing it!

This is Mizuhara Fuyumi's evaluation of the students who had just spoken: despite their own lack of ability, they dared to question the chef's decisions.

Her restaurant doesn't need a chef like that.

Not just her restaurant, but no high-end restaurant would hire a chef like that.

Moreover, given their abilities and potential, they simply cannot graduate smoothly from Totsuki Academy; they are destined to be eliminated sooner or later.

……

Yuanyue left the palace.

When Xiang Ji's bus returned to the hotel where they were staying for training, Si Yingshi and the others had already returned to the hotel.

"Xiang Ji, were you and Long Dan assigned to the same group today?" Si Yingshi asked with a smile as Xiang Ji and Long Dan returned.

"Mmm, Si."

"I lost badly to Xiang Ji-jun in today's study session." Kobayashi Ryudai had found a reason for her to indulge in a meal tonight.

"I lost so badly that I've decided to have a big meal tonight to heal my badly wounded heart."

"Gentian, you are truly enviable. I also want to have a good competition with Xiang Ji during this residential study session." Si Yingshi said with envy.

"A food battle? Xiang Ji-jun is also looking for someone to have a food battle with."

"That's fine."

"Si, why don't you and Xiang Ji have a food battle tonight? I'll be your judge." Kobayashi Ryudai blinked her golden eyes.

"Really? But Rintai, weren't you planning to have a big meal tonight to heal our wounded hearts from the Food Wars?" Xiang Ji said teasingly to Kobayashi Rintai.

"Xiang Ji Jun, are you doubting my stomach?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's delicious food, no matter how much there is, my stomach can eat it all." Kobayashi Ryudou proudly showed off her canine teeth.

Upon seeing the smug expression on Kobayashi Ryudou's face, Xiang Ji and Si Yingshi couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.

Just as Kobayashi Ryudou was looking forward to the lavish feast at the Totsuki Resort, the muscular men who appeared in the hotel restaurant ruthlessly shattered her beautiful fantasy.

"Alright, everyone."

"They are university students from nearby who are here for training at Totsuki Academy. Your task now is to prepare dinner for them."

"Each person needs to prepare fifty copies."

"The dinner menu is already placed in front of your cooking stations," Inui Hinako said with a smile, looking at Xiang Ji and the others.

"Then let's begin!"

“I’ll be watching you guys from here,” Hinako Inui said, sitting down on a chair next to her and tearing open a bag of snacks.

Fifty dishes?

"Now you want us to make fifty more dishes? How is that possible? I'm exhausted."

"What about dinner? Our dinner?"

Right after Hinako Inui finished explaining the rules, some students immediately questioned her loudly, such as the girl with purple hair, golden eyes, and fangs.

"There's no such thing for dinner."

"You'll have to figure out your own dinner," Hinako Inui said casually while eating potato chips.

"Aaaaaah, my super deluxe meal is gone!" Ryudou Kobayashi cried out in despair.

After arriving at the Totsuki Resort, where he would be staying for his study trip, Kobayashi Ryudou made sure to research the menu online so he could try all the signature dishes of the Totsuki Resort's chefs.

Now they have to take care of their own dinner, how can Kobayashi Ryudou accept that?

"Xiang Ji-jun, Si?" Kobayashi Ryudan blinked, looking at Xiang Ji and the other man with a pitiful expression.

"Alright, Longdan, we'll take care of your dinner then," Xiang Ji and Si Yingshi replied simultaneously, sounding helpless.

"Oh, oh, oh, then I'll leave it to you, Xiang Ji-kun, Si." Kobayashi Ryudai immediately smiled happily.

"Xiang Ji-kun, shall we warm up with this activity first?" After speaking with Kobayashi Rindou, Tsukasa Eishi turned to Xiang Ji and said.

"Warm-up?"

"Okay, let's see who can finish fifty servings first," Tsukasa Eishi said with a smile.

“No problem, come on.” Xiang Ji would not refuse the challenge that Si Yingshi had given him.

It's just a warm-up anyway.

……

"After experiencing such an intense challenge at noon today, do you still have the energy to plan a food war?" Hinako Inui also noticed Xiang Ji and the others.
