Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

"Your dream is to breed a Polar Star chicken as famous as the French Bresley chicken?"

“You look very energetic.” Dojima Gin smiled as he looked at Yoshino Yuuki, and saw a faint resemblance to Shiomi Jun in her.

When Shiomi Jun first arrived at Polaris Dormitory, his dream was to cultivate spices that would become the king of spices.

"He is Marui Zenji."

"Hello, Dojima-senpai, I'm Marui Zenji, a second-year junior high school student. I enjoy reading and am a member of Dr. Miyazato's Culinary Research Club..." Marui Zenji's situation wasn't much better than Yoshino Yuuki's.

"Dr. Miyazato? You were able to join Dr. Miyazato's research club in junior high school. Marui, you're amazing."

"However, you still look a bit too thin. You can't become a good chef without a healthy body."

"Yes, Dojima-senpai, I will work hard to train."

"Senior Dojima, could you please sign your name for me?" Marui Zenji asked excitedly.

"Haha, no problem."

……

"She is Ryoko Sakaki."

"Fermented cuisine? That's a really rare culinary direction!"

……

"He is Shun Ibusaki."

"Smoked dishes? I've been trying to make smoked dishes recently."

……

"Aoki Daigo".

"Sato Shoji."

……

"Senior Dojima, I'm Megumi Tadokoro, a second-year junior high school student..." Megumi Tadokoro stammered nervously, her eyes looking lost and unsure of where to look.

"Tadokoro-kun, you don't need to be so nervous."

“I’m also a member who came from Polaris Dormitory,” Dojima Gin said with a smile, but her gaze toward Tadokoro Megumi sharpened.

In the original storyline, Tadokoro Megumi was recognized for her potential by Inui Hinako and Totsuna Gotoda at the very beginning of her residential study, and was the first student to be noticed by the guest lecturers.

Both Hinako Inui and Gotoda Totsuna could see the potential in Megumi Tadokoro, not to mention Gin Dojima.

Don't forget, the food battle between Tadokoro Megumi and Shinomiya Kojiro was only made possible with the strong support of Dojima Gin, and it was also thanks to Dojima Gin's support that Tadokoro Megumi and Yukihira Soma were able to stay at Totsuki Culinary Academy.

……

"She is Alice Nakiri, as you two have already met, so I won't go into details. He is Ryo Kurokiba, Alice Nakiri's follower."

Hello, senior.

"Hello, Kurokiba-kun." Dojima Gin's gaze towards Kurokiba Ryo was exceptionally sharp.

The moment Dojima saw Ryo Kurokiba, he keenly sensed the wild nature hidden behind Kurokiba's languid appearance.

……

Isshiki Satoshi, Tadokoro Megumi, Kurokiba Ryo, Nakiri Alice...

Tsk tsk tsk~

It turns out that the interesting kid at Polaris Dormitory wasn't the only one who met Xiang Ji, Kobayashi Ryudai, and the other two during their residential study.

Besides, Ryoko Sakaki and Yuuki Yoshino are also very promising chefs, as can be seen from the old cocoons that have formed on their fingers from holding knives.

It seems I made the right choice to come back to Polaris Dormitory today.

……

While Dojima Gin and Ōmitō Fumio were talking inside the Polaris Dormitory, Xiang Ji was busy outside.

Seven Star Instant Severing Blade Dance!

Fierce Bull and Azure Dragon Slash!

The huge block of ice inside the refrigerated truck was slicing into the shape of an iceberg under the blows of the giant sword.

The iceberg is an indispensable part of the dish "Fresh Sea bream with Ice". The iceberg is not only for appearance, but also for keeping the sea bream fresh.

After carving the iceberg, Xiang Ji finally began cooking.

First, there's the dipping sauce.

Sauce is absolutely essential for sashimi and other knife-based dishes, especially in the dish "Retsu-i-Shin Taizan".

Raine's sesame oil dipping sauce.

Without the dipping sauce that Renne came up with through careful consideration, the flavor of Liebing Fresh Tai Shan would be halved.

"Is this a dipping sauce?"

"So, the first thing Xiang Ji chose to make was a dipping sauce?" Kobayashi Ryudou exclaimed unconsciously after seeing Xiang Ji start cooking.

There is no fixed order for the preparation of dipping sauces; rather, the order varies depending on the type of dish.

Typically, for dishes like sashimi that emphasize freshness and crispness, the dipping sauce is prepared after the dish is cooked.

This method preserves the fresh flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent possible; if you choose a pre-made dipping sauce, it is easy for the flavor to be lost.

Just as Kobayashi Rindou exclaimed in surprise, Dojima Gin and the others also came out of the Polaris Dormitory.

Dojima Gin returned to the Polaris Dormitory today not just to see Oomido Bunko, but also for Xiang Ji.

Otherwise, why would Dojima Gin personally escort the food truck to Polaris Dormitory?

Dojima Gin is the head chef and director of Totsuki Resort, and Totsuki Resort wouldn't need Dojima Gin to handle such a small matter personally.

As Dojima Gin and the others walked out of the Polaris Dormitory, Xiang Ji's hand was already gripping the hilt of his newly sharpened Northern Star Wolf Blade.

Hiss~ It's so cold~

As soon as Xiang Ji grasped the Northern Star Wolf Blade, he felt the extreme cold emanating from it, which instantly numbed his hand.

Fierce Ice Fresh Taishan!

This dish, passed down from my ancestors, is not something that ordinary cooks can prepare.

The extreme cold emitted by unmelting ice can easily frostbite a person's hands, or even render them useless.

The most severe test for the dish "Fresh Sea bream with Fierce Ice" is not the extreme cold of the Beichen Tianlang Blade, but the ability to cut the sea bream while the hands are frozen numb.

Chapter 133 The Broken Northern Star Wolf Blade, Cooking Failure?

Upon feeling the bone-chilling cold emanating from the Northern Star Wolf Blade, Xiang Ji realized that he had to finish cooking as soon as possible.

Time is limited.

Even his beloved and charming ancestor, Raine, couldn't withstand the cost of wielding the Northern Star Wolf Blade for an extended period, let alone his current little Karami.

Crystal Arhat Slash!

Without any hesitation, Xiang Ji used this secret knife skill from the world of dark cuisine.

The slender ice blades flew swiftly through the air and landed on the sea bream that Dojima Gin had sent.

July is not the best time to enjoy sea bream, as it lacks the plumpness and sweetness of spring and the firmness and richness of late autumn. However, the sea bream sent by Dojima Gin is of very good quality.

Hiss~ Hiss~

The bright red body of the sea bream was instantly sliced ​​open by the Hokushin Tenrou Blade. The thin slices of sea bream sashimi were as clear as a mirror, allowing sunlight to pass through easily.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

"How is this possible? How did Senior Xiang Ji manage to do that?" Marui Zenji stared at the sea bream sashimi flying in the air, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Despite being such a thin and delicate ice skate, it did not break when Xiang Ji was handling the real sea bream.

Not only that, the sashimi slices that Xiang Ji cut off seemed to come alive as they fell from the blade of the Beichen Tianlang Blade onto the iceberg.

Fresh meat has a thin film of water on its surface, which is the juice that has seeped out of the meat.

When the gravy comes into contact with a cold object, the water in the gravy quickly freezes into gel, which then welds the two together.

However, when Xiang Ji used ice skates, the prepared sea bream sashimi was not sticky at all. How did he manage to do that?

Not only Marui Zenji, but also Dojima Gin and Nakiri Soe watched Xiang Ji cooking with serious expressions.

Compared to students like Marui Zenji who were still attending Totsuki Academy, Nakiri Soe and Dojima Gin gleaned far more insights from the process of Xiang Ji cooking.

"How did he develop such knife skills?"

"That's interesting. If Joichiro were here, I think he'd be really excited, right?"

……

Click click click~

As the sea bream on the counter was being cut in half, the Northern Star Wolf Blade in Xiang Ji's hand instantly shattered into countless ice shards.

That's the limit.

However, this was not the limit of the Beichen Tianlang Blade, but the limit of Xiang Ji. The palm of Xiang Ji's right hand, which had just gripped the blade, was already frostbitten by the cold air emanating from the Beichen Tianlang Blade.

If he continued to force himself to do so, Xiang Ji's palms would suffer irreparable damage.

Despite his right hand being frozen and numb by the Beichen Tianlang Blade, Xiang Ji's expression showed no pain, but rather an undisguised excitement.

As Xiang Ji was cooking the sizzling, frozen sea bream, he saw the culinary world called Blue Heaven.

Is this the culinary world as seen through the eyes of his ancestor, Ren?

How wonderful!

Xiang Ji is now completely absorbed in the culinary world of Blue Heaven and doesn't even care about the next step, Crystal Arhat Chop!

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.

Now, Xiang Ji vaguely understands why Chinese master chefs are willing to risk their lives to complete their dishes.

……

"Broken? Broken?"

"The Northern Star Wolf in Senior Xiang Ji's hands is broken? Is this a cooking failure?" Alice Nakiri stared wide-eyed at Xiang Ji.

"Failed? How could that be? He's a senior like Xiang Ji."

At the moment the Northern Star Wolf Blade shattered, Alice Nakiri and the others couldn't help but cry out, looking at Xiang Ji with disbelief.

Is this dish of fresh Taishan seafood really that difficult? Even Xiang Ji failed to cook it, even though he had successfully cooked several dishes left by the Chinese Dragon Chef before.

“No, his cooking is not a failure.” At this moment, Dojima Gin’s voice suddenly rang out.

“His cooking is finished,” Nakiri Munee said, his sharp eyes fixed on Xiang Ji.

On the iceberg in front of them, Dojima Gin and Nakiri Soe felt an incredibly terrifying aura, like a giant dragon awakening.

How could a dish with such a terrifying aura be a failed dish?

"Dojima-senpai? Mr. Nakiri?"

"Dad?" Alice and the others looked even more confused after hearing what Soue Nakiri and the other man said.

Is the dish ready?

Xiang Ji's Beichen Tianlang Blade is broken, and there's still a third of the real sea bream left on the cooking counter.

……

"Everyone, now try my dish." Xiang Ji turned to look at Kobayashi Ryudan and the others and said.

The sound Xiang Ji made immediately pulled Kobayashi Ryudai and the others out of their confusion, and they all walked towards Xiang Ji without prior arrangement.

As they approached Xiang Ji, Kobayashi Ryuten and the others noticed his frostbitten right hand.

"Xiang Jijun, your hand?"
