Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

The collapse of the dish's appearance and color is fatal in this kind of buffet breakfast issue.

But before Hinako could finish speaking, Fuyumi Mizuhara roughly shoved the Florentine eggs from the plate in her hand into her mouth.

Waaah~ Ugh~

The moment the Florence egg touched her tongue, Hinako Inui's eyes widened involuntarily as she tasted the secret that Eishi Tsukasa had hidden inside.

First, there's the Florentine eggs base, which supports the muffins, which are fried in butter, while the spinach inside is thoroughly drained of moisture.

Then comes the most crucial ingredients: poached eggs and Dutch sauce.

In the process of making poached eggs, excess egg white is diluted and filtered out in advance. When the yolk is cooked to a runny state, the outer layer of egg white is already completely set, forming a stable solid that will not easily deform.

The same applies to Dutch sauce; the melted butter is added in stages to make the texture thicker.

Tsukasa Eishi's improved Florence Eggs did not ruin the original flavor at all.

What's most captivating is that Eishi Tsukasa also uses white caviar in his dishes.

The light and delicate flavor of the white caviar has almost no fishy smell, but rather a subtle nutty aroma, giving the Florentine eggs a more profound and refined flavor.

The cuisine is absolutely amazing.

The impact of Tsukasa Eishi's cooking on Inui Hinako, and Megijima Fuyusuke's special cold ramen.

……

boom~ boom~

Just as Inui was deeply amazed by Tsukasa Eishi's cooking, an enticing aroma wafting from not far away instantly captivated Inui's soul.

Ryudai Kobayashi!

The enticing thing that's appearing now comes from Ryutou Kobayashi's cooking station.

When Hinako Inui ran to Ryudou Kobayashi's cooking station with Fuyumi Mizuhara, the area in front of Ryudou Kobayashi's cooking station was already crowded with people.

The guests were all drawn in by the intense aroma; the allure of Kobayashi Rindou's cuisine is irresistible.

The scent of saffron.

“In northern Iran, there is a family dish called Red Flower Braised Pigeon Egg Rice Pancake. It is made by using pigeon eggs, rice, and spices to make a pancake, which is then fried in butter.”

"Kobayashi Rindou, is this the dish that inspired her cooking?" Hinako Inui murmured.

"It's not that simple."

"Hinako, you'll know once you take a bite of her cooking?" Mizuhara Fuyumi said expressionlessly.

"Hmm, what is this? This is dried cheese shreds."

"And it's not just ordinary dry cheese shreds, it's cheese shreds made from goat's milk." Hinako Inui immediately tasted the secret inside the pancake.

……

Salt-grilled capelin roe sushi?

"Thin slices made by mixing capelin roe and sweet potato puree with egg whites and baking them, with the crunchy texture of the capelin roe combined with the smooth texture of the sweet potato."

"The rice in the sushi is stirred thoroughly with the salted duck egg yolk while it's still warm, and the salty and savory aroma of duck oil is fully infused into the rice..." Seki Morihei also praised Saito Muneaki's cooking.

While Saito Muneaki was best known for his knife skills, his greatest culinary skill was actually sushi.

Yes, that's right.

Saito Muneaki, whose greatest skill in cooking is knife work, is not skilled in knife work, but in sushi cooking.

Similarly, this is why Seki Shouping chose to try Saito Muneaki's cuisine first.

Seki Morihei's specialty is sushi, so he naturally tends to favor students who are good at sushi, just like Mizuhara Fuyumi chose Tsukasa Eishi first, and Inui Hinako chose Megijima Fuyusuke first.

Of course, Hinako Inui is much worse than Morihira Seki and the others.

Not only Japanese cuisine, but also other types of cuisine, otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately abandoned Megijima Tousuke after smelling the aroma of Tsukasa Eishi's cooking.

……

boom~ boom~

Just as the censors, including Hinako Inui, were enjoying their respective dishes, an explosive aroma suddenly drew their attention.

Xiang Ji's cuisine.

Xiang Ji's three-egg shumai was ready at this time.

"Oh oh oh."

"Is Xiang Ji-kun's cooking finally ready?" Upon smelling the aroma of the three-egg shumai, Inui Hinako immediately abandoned Kobayashi Ryundou, just as she had abandoned Megijima Tousuke and Tsukasa Eishi earlier.

"Xiang Ji-kun, please give me a serving of your cooking." As soon as Inui Hinako approached Xiang Ji, she said impatiently.

"I'll have one too." Mizuhara Fuyumi's emotionless voice rang out behind Inui Hinako.

Me too.

"Could you please give me one too?"

"Oh, is this egg shumai?" Dotsuna Gotoda, Seki Shouping, and Dojima Gin all appeared in front of Xiang Ji's cooking station at the same time.

……

"What's going on?"

"The seniors Dojima and Mizuhara actually appeared at the same time in front of Xiangji's cooking station."

"Damn it, is the transfer student's cooking really that tempting? Senior Dojima and the others all passed by the moment the dishes were finished."

……

"really……"

"Mizuhara-senpai and Inui-senpai came here specifically for Xiang Ji-kun's cooking, huh?" Tsukasa Eishi looked in the direction of Xiang Ji's cooking station and smiled helplessly.

"Three-egg shaomai!"

"I really want to eat Xiang Ji-kun's cooking again!" Kobayashi Ryudou exclaimed in agreement.

"Not lovable, not lovable."

"This messy situation is really not cute at all." Momo Akane hugged the plush toy in her arms tightly with an unhappy expression.

"Hoohoohoo."

"It's really intriguing to see what kind of food this guy will cook." Saito Muneaki and Megijima Tousuke both looked in the direction of Xiang Ji.

Chapter 117 Xiang Ji: If... you let me live in a big villa, and marry...

"Mmm, this shumai."

"The black amber-like particles at the top of the shumai are the egg whites of preserved eggs. The chewy egg whites tightly wrap around the tip of the tongue the moment they enter the mouth, and each bite is filled with the unique salty and fresh flavor of fermentation and pickling."

"The eggs cracked into the dough create a wonderful balance between the sweetness of the eggs and the saltiness of the preserved eggs."

"The shumai filling uses minced black pork, and fresh flower crab roe and crab eggs are added to the filling."

"The moment you bite into the dough, the crab roe and crab eggs burst open in your mouth like little bombs."

"Eggs, preserved eggs, and crab roe are perfectly combined in this shumai dish,"

"This is truly an amazingly creative dish."

"Waaah~ Hmm."

"This dish can be described as a delicious combination of the earth (pork, flour), the ocean (crab roe), and the sky (eggs, wild duck)."

"Stop, I can't stop, this dish is just too delicious to eat."

After taking a bite of the freshly cooked three-egg shumai, Hinako Inui couldn't help but groan loudly, her face flushed an unnatural red.

"One more, please."

"I...I want to eat some more." Hinako Inui's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at the three-egg shumai.

……

"What an amazing dish."

"Shumai with three kinds of eggs".

"You can come up with such a creative idea in just one night?" Guan Shouping couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly as he looked at Xiang Ji.

"Is it creative?"

“This dish wasn’t this brat’s idea!” Dojima Gin, whose muscles bulged high beneath his suit, slowly stuffed the three-egg shumai into his mouth with movements completely out of character for his imposing appearance.

"Hmm? Senior Dojima, are you saying that he learned this dish from another chef?" Dotona asked unconsciously.

"I remember now."

“Xiang Ji’s family used to run a small restaurant. I think he must have learned this dish while working there.” Guan Shouping suddenly seemed to remember something.

"The restaurant at home?"

“Guan Shou, Wutongtian, the origin of his dish is not that simple.” Dojima Gin shook his head.

"Shumai with three kinds of eggs".

“In the history of Chinese cuisine, there was a famous chef who made this dish, and the three types of eggs that chef chose were chicken eggs, preserved eggs, and crab roe.”

"And that dish is called Three Eggs, and the chef who created it is..."

"Liu Maoxing." Xiang Ji interrupted Dojima Gin before he could finish speaking.

"Truly worthy of being called senior Dojima, he recognized the origin of my Three-Egg Shumai at a glance," Xiang Ji said with admiration.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Chinese cuisine and top Chinese chefs are legendary figures in the world. The more legendary a figure is, the more distorted the records about them become.

The records of the master chefs in the Chinese culinary world that have survived to this day are mostly grand epics, while records of other minor events are pitifully scarce.

As most chefs around the world know, macaroni and butter dumplings, the last dish Liu Maoxing left behind, are the most delicious dish in the world.

But few chefs know that Liu Maoxing's first dish at Juxialou was an ordinary, shiny fried rice.

What dishes did Dragon Chef Liu Maoxing make?

After hearing Dojima Gin's conversation with Xiang Ji, Mizuhara Fuyumi and the others couldn't help but look at Xiang Ji.

This is the second time, isn't it?

In the previous lesson arranged by Hinako Inui, Xiang Ji also cooked the dishes that Liu Maoxing had cooked before.

sizzle...

Could it be that Xiang Ji accidentally inherited the legacy left by Liu Maoxing? Or is he simply a member of Juxialou?

"I only had the privilege of seeing the treasured manual passed down through generations in the Generalissimo's family once," Dojima Gin suddenly chuckled softly.

"However, it is not possible to recreate Chef Long's dishes simply by relying on the legends left behind by Chef Long."

"Xiang Ji, I'm really looking forward to your future performance." Dojima Gin smiled and glanced at Xiang Ji.

Unlike the shocked Mizuhara Fuyumi and others, Dojima Gin knew very well that Xiang Ji's Three-Egg Shumai was not Liu Maoxing's dish, but rather a dish with the same creative idea.

If it were truly the original recipe left by Liu Maoxing, the taste of the Three Eggs Shumai would definitely be much more than this.

To put it bluntly, if Liu Maoxing's cooking is only at this level, he doesn't even deserve the title of "Dragon Chef," let alone the title of "the strongest Dragon Chef in the history of Chinese cuisine."

As for Dojima Gin's earlier statement about replicating and reproducing, that was merely a simple metaphor.

If I had to put it simply, it's like saying, "Boss, it's been a long time since you've..." Anyone who takes it seriously is a fool.

……

Upon hearing Dojima Gin's words, a hint of longing appeared deep in Xiang Ji's eyes.

Xiang Ji had no doubt about what Dojima Gin said. Given the extremely close relationship between Dojima Gin and the Nakiri family, it was not impossible that he was fortunate enough to see Liu Maoxing's notebook.

Executive Chef and Board Member of Far Moon Resort.

Gin Dojima is a pivotal figure within the Totsuki Group, a true right-hand man of the Nakiri family.

Are these notes left by Liu Maoxing?

According to the system's structure, the notebook left behind by Liu Maoxing should at least be a legendary-level piece of equipment, right?

If I could obtain Liu Maoxing's notes, then even living in the Nakiri family's mansion right now and marrying Nakiri Alice or Nakiri Erina wouldn't be so bad...
