Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

"And don't you have anything to say about my cooking? This is a dish I risked my right hand for," Xiang Ji continued leisurely.

"Xiang Ji-kun, you really acted too recklessly earlier," Si Yingshi said seriously, his expression almost identical to that of Nakiri Munee.

"If your arm is left with some irreversible injury, you may never be able to hold a kitchen knife in your right hand again. Have you seriously considered the consequences, Mr. Xiang?"

"Even if I don't have a right hand, I still have a left hand to use, right?"

Xiang Jigang had just made a joke with Si Yingshi to ease the tension, but after seeing Dai Midou Fumio's face darken again, he decided not to make any more jokes.

"Just kidding, this is my right hand. How could I possibly do anything to my right hand?"

"I won't risk my right hand until I've achieved my dream."

"What a troublesome brat." Oomido Fumio snorted again.

……

After confirming that Xiang Ji's arm was really alright, Alice Nakiri and the others could no longer contain their curiosity and asked Xiang Ji about all the details of the dish, "Fresh Sea Bream with Frozen Ice".

Alice Nakiri and the others had so many questions they wanted to ask Xiang Ji.

For example, why did Xiang Ji's Arctic Sirius Blade suddenly shatter during the cooking process? And what happened to the remaining sea bream on the counter?

"The Northern Star Wolf Blade?"

“Each piece of unmelted ice can only be used once,” Xiang Ji replied casually.

The fact that the ice doesn't melt can't be kept secret, and there's no point in hiding it, since it was Alice Nakiri who helped us find the ice.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

"Can you only cook once if each piece of ice doesn't melt?" Yoshino Yuuki and the others subconsciously gasped after hearing Xiang Ji's answer.

Alice Nakiri had previously told Yoshino Yuuki and the others how difficult it was to find this piece of unmelting ice.

Alice Nakiri's expedition team ventured deep into the inner Arctic Circle for several months before finding this one patch of non-melting ice.

Is this truly a recipe left behind by a legendary Chinese master chef? Even the ingredients used in this dish are so rare.

Compared to the astonished Yoshino Yuuki and the others, Nakiri Soe and Dojima Gin were much more indifferent, especially Nakiri Soe.

The first person to obtain the Unmelting Ice was Nakiri Munee, and Nakiri Munee certainly knew just how rare the Unmelting Ice material was.

If it weren't for the fact that it was Alice Nakiri who spoke, Munee Nakiri would never have been able to take out the Unmelting Ice.

But after tasting Xiang Ji's scorching ice sea bream, Nakiri Soe thought it was totally worth it to be able to enjoy such a dish with just a special piece of ice.

To be more precise, such dishes should be prepared using such rare ingredients.

The only regret is that Aurora, who is just as lovely as Alice, couldn't enjoy this dish with me.

“Yuuki, this is a dish left behind by a Chinese master chef. How could it be cooked so casually?” Marui Zenji said to Yoshino Yuuki.

So this dish of sizzling sea bream is a recipe left behind by the legendary Chinese Dragon Chef?

No wonder it tastes so good.

Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki and Marui Zenji's conversation, a golden light flashed in Nakiri Souei's eyes.

The cuisine of a top Chinese chef?

Another one?

It seems that Xiang Ji's identity and Chef Yuan's abilities are even more terrifying than she imagined. Dojima Gin's gaze towards Xiang Ji has also changed.

But what shocked Dojima Gin and his companion even more was yet to come.

What?

"It's not like Senior Xiang Ji didn't cook recipes left by other Chinese Dragon Chefs, they're not like Lie Bing Xian Tai Shan," Yoshino Yuuki said indignantly.

"Can this be the same?"

“Even if they are both top chefs from China, can the recipes left by Liu Maoxing and Shao An be the same?” Marui Zenji immediately retorted.

"The recipe for this 'Flaming Fresh Sea Bream' dish by the senior Xiang Ji is definitely a recipe left by master chefs of the caliber of Liu Maoxing and Master Xie Lu."

“Right? Senior Xiang Ji.” Marui Zenji looked at Xiang Ji.

“Yes, this 'Flaming Ice Fresh Sea Bream' is a dish left behind by Seven Star Blade Raine. It is considered the pinnacle of sashimi-type dishes.” Xiang Ji replied calmly, acknowledging Marui Zenji’s answer.

Chapter 136 My Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Snapper Mountain Wasn't Finished Cooking, Golden Sea Snapper

Seven-Star Blade Raine?

The most ferocious dragon chef in the history of Chinese cuisine?

Upon hearing the name Rein from Xiang Ji, Nakiri Munee and Dojima Gin immediately remembered who Rein was.

It turns out that this Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream is a dish left behind by Seven Star Blade Raine, no wonder it is so delicious.

However, does Xiang Ji actually possess recipes left behind by other Chinese master chefs?

Moreover, judging from the conversation between Yoshino Yuuki and Marui Zenji, it seems that Xiang Ji has already prepared those dishes for them.

Who exactly is he?

Could she be an heir to some legendary Chinese culinary family? Otherwise, how could she have learned so many recipes left behind by these legendary chefs?

At the same time.

Marui Zenji and Yoshino Yuuki focused on Xiang Ji's answer that "this dish is called the ultimate in sashimi cuisine."

The ultimate in sashimi cuisine?

Recalling the intensely flavorful frozen taishan jellyfish they had just tasted, Kobayashi Rintai and the others nodded seriously, agreeing that Xiang Ji's description was indeed not an exaggeration at all.

Xiang Ji's "Fragrant Sea Bream" was indeed the most delicious sashimi dish they had ever tasted.

"I'm so lucky to be able to stay at the Polaris Dormitory! It's such a wonderful place!"

"Fresh Taishan with Fierce Ice".

"The ultimate legendary sashimi dish, we are probably the only ones in the world who can eat this kind of dish." Marui Zenji looked at Xiang Ji with a face full of emotion.

That's true!

These children are incredibly fortunate to have encountered Xiang Ji.

Upon hearing Marui Zenji's shout, Dojima Gin nodded slightly. After all, not everyone has the chance to taste the dishes created by a top Chinese chef.

A recipe is one thing, cooking is another.

This doesn't mean that just because you have a recipe left by a Chinese master chef, you're guaranteed to be able to cook the corresponding dish.

Putting everything else aside, Dojima Gin just had no confidence that he could cook up the icy fresh sea bream dish that Xiang Ji had just prepared.

Xiang Ji's knife skills in cooking the scorching frozen taishan were so unique that Dojima Gin couldn't understand them at all.

Not only Dojima Gin, but also Nakiri Soe thought so.

It is undoubtedly a stroke of luck for Alice Nakiri to encounter a chef like Xiang Ji.

Of course, even so, she would never allow him to get so close to her Alice.

Marui Zenji's exclamation about Xiang Ji's sizzling and fresh sea bream was far from over.

"Even if Seven Star Blade Raine is reborn, his Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Snapper Mountain should be about the same as the Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Snapper Mountain completed by Senior Xiang Ji."

“Marui, I am no match for Seven Star Blade Raine.” Xiang Ji interrupted Marui Zenji directly.

"Compared to Seven Star Blade Raine, my Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain is nothing, after all, my Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain is not even finished yet," Xiang Ji said calmly.

"what?"

"Senior Xiang Ji, were you serious just now?"

"Xiang Ji Jun, are you saying that your 'Flaming Ice Fresh Tai Shan' dish is an incomplete dish?"

Upon hearing Xiang Ji's words, Marui Zenji and the others exclaimed in surprise, staring at Xiang Ji with disbelief.

How is that possible?

Is Xiang Ji's Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Shan still an unfinished dish?

After the initial shock, Kobayashi Ryudou and the others couldn't help but swallow hard.

If even the unfinished Retsu-Hyō Sei-Shan is so delicious, how delicious must the real Retsu-Hyō Sei-Shan be?

"Of course it's true."

"Alice, didn't you just ask me why there were still some sea bream left unused?" Xiang Ji explained gently.

"Because my right hand could no longer hold up to continue cooking."

“And what right do I have to call a complete dish if I can’t even finish cooking it halfway through?” Xiang Ji continued.

But Xiang Ji didn't say one more thing: the real Liebing Fresh Tai Shan would glow.

Yes, that's right.

Xiang Ji said that the reason his Fiery Ice Sea Snapper was unfinished was not only because he couldn't finish cooking it, but also because his Fiery Ice Sea Snapper didn't glow.

If it can't even glow, what right does Xiangji's Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Shan have to call it an original dish?

sizzle~

sizzle~

After Xiang Ji finished speaking, Kobayashi Ryudai and the others looked at each other and gasped in shock.

How is that possible?

Xiang Ji's Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Teeth Mountain is actually an unfinished dish? Even Xiang Ji couldn't finish cooking it, so just how terrifyingly difficult must it be to cook this Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Teeth Mountain!

While Kobayashi Rindou and the others were still in shock, Xiang Ji continued to speak.

"Moreover, my cooking skills are one aspect, but the ingredients I use in my dishes are another."

"The sea bream used in the dish 'Retsu Icy Sea Bream Mountain' is not just any ordinary sea bream, but a type of sea bream known as the Golden Sea Bream."

"Golden sea bream?"

"Senior Xiang Ji, what is this Golden True Sea Snapper you mentioned?" Alice Nakiri immediately asked.

As the "Child of God" of the Molecular Gastronomy Society, Alice Nakiri is no stranger to sea bream, as sea bream is a type of sea bream.

Besides the true sea bream, other mainstream edible sea bream varieties include black sea bream, white sea bream, bronze sea bream, and so on.

Among the closely related fish species outside the genus *Echinochloa* are the stone seabream, the golden-eyed seabream, and the red bream...

But what about the Golden Tetra?

Alice Nakiri stated that she had never heard of a sea bream with that name.

Not only Alice Nakiri, but even the two big shots, Soe Nakiri and Gin Dojima, seriously pondered what exactly the Golden Sea Snapper was. Could it be another name for some kind of sea bream?

The legendary chefs of Chinese cuisine are ancient figures from hundreds of years ago. The same ingredient might have had different names in their time than it does in today's generation.

Not to mention, there is also the possibility of mutation and extinction.

“I’m not entirely sure either. All I know is that the sea bream used in the Lie Bing Fresh Sea Bream Mountain Recipe is called Golden Sea Bream because it has a surface that looks like gold,” Xiang Ji continued slowly.

sizzle~

A sea bream with a golden appearance?

Upon hearing Xiang Ji's description, a strong sense of disappointment appeared in Kobayashi Ryudai's eyes.

Besides the chef's knife skills, the most important thing in sashimi cuisine is the ingredients themselves.

The golden sea bream that Xiang Ji just described is undoubtedly not an ordinary sea bream, but a mutated sea bream, or even a sea bream that has become extinct.

The former is easier to deal with.

Even if the hope of catching this ingredient is slim, at least there is still the possibility of tasting it.

However, if it is the latter, then the dish of Liebing Fresh Taishan can be said to have been completely lost.

What's the use of a recipe if you don't have the right ingredients?
