The story of Shokugeki begins when Alice picks him up and brings him home

Hearing Kikuchi Engo's provocative words, Bai Yuan couldn't help but bulge out on his forehead, and the handle of his suitcase was deformed by it.

"I'll get off at the next stop. I'm going to meet someone very interesting."

Looking at the name of the platform, Bai Yuan's expression moved slightly, a red-haired figure appeared in his mind, and an interested look appeared on his face.

Chapter 129 Yukihira Joichiro

"Why did you get off at this stop suddenly?"

Carrying two suitcases and getting out of the car, looking at the slightly depressed street scene, Mujichi Engo asked with some confusion.

The stop where the two got off was mainly located in the old town on the edge of the city and was not very prosperous.

"Take you to a good store, maybe it will help you open a store in the future."

Bai Yuan did not explain too much, but looked around at the station entrance and grabbed a passerby and said, "Excuse me, do you know where the "Xingping" Hotel is?"

"Yukihira Hotel? What a tacky name. I've never heard of it."

But I know a very good western restaurant! I wonder if you are interested..."

Being suddenly approached, the girl looked a little unhappy.

But the moment she turned around and saw Bai Yuan's face, all her unhappiness turned into joy and shyness.

The reason is simple: he is too handsome.

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

Looking at the chattering woman in front of him, Bai Yuan felt a little overwhelmed. He then pulled Mu Jiuchi Engo, who was watching the fun, over and stood in front of him.

"Yeah, that's what it is."

Being suddenly acknowledged as his girlfriend, Kikuchi Enka's heart beat faster. Then he held his head high and took two steps forward, making eye contact with the girl who was chatting up Bai Yuan.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll take my leave now!"

Looking at the 'aggressive' Mujichi Engo, embarrassment flashed across the girl's face, but she still forced a smile and trotted away after saying this.

"Hehe, it's still useful to have me with you~"

Seeing that he had played a role and forced the girl who was trying to flirt with Bai Yuan to leave, Kikuchi Enka showed a smug expression.

Then she turned around and looked at Bai Yuan, her eyes filled with the three words "Praise me quickly".

"Indeed, the fruits in my small garden are the most useful!"

Knowing that the girl was looking forward to praise, Bai Yuan smiled and touched Mujichi Engo's head.

"So what should we do now? Should we go to the 'Xingping' restaurant you mentioned?"

It's impossible to ask for directions, and the map navigation doesn't show this kind of street shop.

The two people's store exploration plan came to a standstill and they stood there for a long time without taking any action.

"Go, why don't you go."

Bai Yuan said as he dragged up the two pieces of luggage placed on the side of the road, feeling their weight, and in his heart he sighed that girls are masters of storage.

The same is true for Alice Nakiri, whose one suitcase is heavier than two of an ordinary person's.

If he hadn't exercised regularly, he probably wouldn't have been able to lift it.

"Let me get this."

Seeing that both of Bai Yuan's hands were occupied, Mujichi Engo trotted forward and grabbed the other box.

After all, these are her things, so it is impossible for her to push them all to Bai Yuan.

Having a boyfriend can indeed help share the pressure, but you can’t put all the pressure on him, otherwise he may become your ex-boyfriend.

"Then you take it."

Looking at the proactive girl, Bai Yuan did not refuse and followed her dragging his suitcase.

"Well! Let's go! Find the mysterious shop!"

With his hands raised high and excitement on his face, Kikuchi Enka said with full energy.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but it was already dusk outside.

Office workers who have worked hard all day, bachelors who cannot cook in their apartments, students who have just finished their school days and whose homes are empty, and elderly people with mobility problems all start looking for food.

A restaurant called "Yukihira" changed its closed sign to open for business the moment the clock struck five.

"Welcome, Sanhe Grandma, is it the same as usual today? If you have difficulty walking, you can call to order food and I will deliver it to you."

Seeing the old lady who was leaning on a cane and walking slowly towards the door, the red-haired boy in an apron immediately stepped forward and helped her into the shop.

"Why bother with so much trouble? I just have bad legs and feet, but I can walk. It's good for me to exercise a little.

Besides, food like this only tastes good when it's steaming hot! By the time you bring it to me, the taste will have already gone bad, so it's better not to eat it!

Same old thing, a bowl of tempura fried fish noodles, with the tempura on a separate plate and the usual sauce. ”

"Tempura noodles, huh? Okay."

Looking at Soma Yukihira who was helping the old lady onto the chair, Shiroichi Yukihira, who was doing the preparations in the kitchen, poked his head out and shouted.

Then started working in the kitchen.

The meals displayed on the walls of the shop and the side dishes they prepare every day are the most frequently ordered dishes by these old customers on the street, and new items are occasionally replaced.

The reason for doing this is that the main customers of the "Xingping" restaurant are all neighbors in the surrounding area, and there are very few guests from outside.

It can be said that this is a popular restaurant serving the neighbors!

“Xingping is open! It’s really punctual, opening at 6 o’clock every night without fail.”

"Joichiro, give me a tonkatsu set meal!"

A few minutes after opening, there was a noise at the door and a pot-bellied man walked in, shouting loudly to the kitchen as he walked.

"Okay, wait a moment."

While frying tempura, Yukihira Joichiro shouted something to the outside. His movements of lifting and pulling were extremely skillful, showing the beauty of the dish.

"Jiuichiro, give me a beef rice bowl!"

"I also want beef rice, and fried fruit."

"Joichiro, give me today's signature dish, Yukihira-ryu Honey-grilled Eel Rice. This is a new dish developed by Soma."

"A new dish developed by Soma? I have to try it. I want one too!"

With the opening of the "Yukihira" hotel, many guests came in from outside.

The first thing everyone did when they came in was to say hello to Yukihira Joichiro, and then chat with the people around them. Their bodies, which had been tired all day, were healed at this moment.

"Squeak~"

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?"

The sound of the door opening was rang again, and Soma Yukihira, who had just served the previous guest, walked forward to entertain them while holding the plate.

At this moment, he had a ribbon tied on his head, which was fluttering in the wind. Because he was walking back and forth in the store, there were water marks on the ribbon.

"Boy, give me a portion of everything from here to there."

I followed Soma Yukihira to an empty table and sat down, placing my luggage at the innermost part of my seat.

The man took the menu handed to him by Soma Yukihira, glanced at it briefly, then returned the menu and asked him to order one portion of all the dishes.

It just so happened that he hadn't had breakfast yet and his stomach was empty, so he could enjoy the food in this restaurant.

"From here to here? Isn't this all the food we have at home?

The portions in our restaurant are quite large, and one meal can basically fill a man up. If you want to try the flavors, you can consider ordering a sample of each dish, which will give you a good discount.”

Seeing the man ordering all the dishes on the menu, Yukihira Soma frowned slightly. Then he pointed at the dish with the words "trial version" written below it. The price was one-third of the normal version, and the portion was relatively smaller.

This also gives first-time customers a chance to try the food. If they like the taste, they will naturally order a full meal again.

"No, we can eat this little bit, just cook as usual."

Shaking his head, the man rejected Soma Yukihira's suggestion and said so.

"Oh well.

Dad, I want one of everything on the menu."

Since the man refused to listen to his advice, Soma Yukihira was too lazy to argue with him any further. He turned around and shouted towards the kitchen, then went to entertain other guests.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, this store looks ordinary and is located in such an inconspicuous corner. Why did you come here on purpose?"

That’s right, the two people who entered this restaurant were Shirabuchi and Kikuchi Enka.

As Soma Yukihira went to entertain other guests, Enka Kikuchi, who was sitting opposite Shirafumi, got up from his seat and sat down next to him.

At the same time he asked curiously.

Logically, such a remote shop should have no connection with Bai Yuan. Could it be that the owner here is a friend he knows?

"Do you know who owns this store?"

Without rushing to answer Mujichi Enka's question, Bai Yuan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. He looked at her and spoke slowly.

"Who? Teacher Bai Yuan, is the reason you came here related to the owner of this store? Is it an old acquaintance of yours?"

Mujichi Engo expressed his doubts. After hearing his words, he became more certain of his guess and turned his gaze towards the restaurant kitchen.

Because it is a small restaurant that focuses on maintaining neighborhood relationships, the kitchen of "Xingping" Hotel is not completely closed.

From where they were sitting, they could clearly see a figure busy in the kitchen. It was a middle-aged man with dark red hair and an untidy beard, with regular features and quite handsome.

Next to the middle-aged man was the boy who had just entertained them, a young man with red hair and a childish face.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two should be father and son.

"Yes, do you know the graduates of the 69th batch of Totsuki?"

Playing with the teacup in his hand, Bai Yuan suddenly asked.

"I know, the 69th class is a very strong class."

"The graduate with the highest score in the history of Totsuki is the first seat of the 69th term, and he is currently the head chef of Totsuki Resort, Senior Dojima Gin.

I heard that after graduation, he rejected invitations from 800 major restaurants across the country and chose to work at Totsuki Resort. It was a sensation at the time and he was the pinnacle of all Totsuki graduates!"

When talking about Dojima Gin, an expression of admiration appeared on Kikuchi Enka's face.

Almost every student who enters Totsuki Academy has heard of the 69th graduates because of a name called Dojima Gin.

"Gin Dojima is the best graduate of the 69th class, but not the best."

Bai Yuan nodded and looked at the man who was working leisurely in the kitchen.

When he was watching the anime at that time, he thought this guy was very powerful and was the ceiling-level existence in the play.

Even though he was later defeated by Saiba Chaoyang, he only thought that it was a plot kill and that Yukihira Joichiro deliberately lost the game to motivate his son to grow.

"Let me see your strength, Yukihira Joichiro."

Looking at the busy figures in the kitchen, Bai Yuan's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

The main reason I chose to come here today is to see how much the most dazzling genius in Japan from more than a decade ago has grown to now!

“Not the best...

But he is the first among the ten best."

Kikuchi Engo was a little confused and looked at Bai Yuan. Just then, he saw him looking at the kitchen, so he followed his gaze and looked in that direction.

"Could it be that the person you are talking about is him?"

Mujichi Engo was not a fool either. By thinking about Bai Yuan's previous and subsequent sentences, he quickly guessed who the more powerful person he was talking about was.

This ordinary restaurant owner in front of you?

"That's right. You'll know the details after you try it. Food is the last thing that can deceive you."

As they were talking, there was movement in the kitchen, and Soma Yukihira came to their table carrying a beautifully presented side dish.
