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

After covering the cabbage lid, turn the pot to low heat and simmer for about 40 minutes, so that the flounder lion head can be transparent inside and out. Whether it is taste or flavor, it can reach the best state!

"That's about it for today. It's past dinner time, and there won't be many customers coming later. Let's get ready to call it a day. Leave the rest to me."

Turning around, Bai Yuan stepped forward and patted Alice on the shoulder at the sight of Alice appearing to be doing well but whose body was actually reaching its limit.

After all, this is not the dark culinary world, so he doesn't have high requirements for his apprentice, just a balance between relaxation and tension.

"Okay, we'll call it a day after we finish serving this group of guests."

Alice Nakiri spoke in a sonorous voice, word for word seriously, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind. Bai Yuan looked at her extremely serious face and finally did not dissuade her.

At this moment, Alice Nakiri has already regarded today's business as a test, so she wants to do her best!

There are still twenty or thirty guests outside. Now let the waiter go to the end of the line and fix the number of guests. Although it is tiring, the burden is not too big.

With Alice Nakiri's determined expression now, she should be able to hold on!

"Well, since you strongly request it, then I will do as you said and receive all the guests. I hope you can gain something from it."

Looking at the girl who was getting wet all over due to sweat, Bai Yuan wiped the sweat off her body with a warm towel, then quickly walked to the chopping board and processed all the large amount of unprocessed ingredients on the chopping board, arranging them neatly into categories.

In this way, Alice Nakiri can save a lot of effort when cooking, which is why most kitchens are equipped with a vegetable cutting assistant.

Improve the chef's efficiency, shorten the serving time, and provide guests with a better dining experience.

Back then, when Liu Maoxing was learning cooking at Yangquan Restaurant, he worked as a vegetable cutter and kitchen helper for quite a long time.

Later, he passed the assessment of top chef in Guangzhou and went through a series of travels before he became the chef of Yangquan Restaurant.

This is also something that every chef must go through, from apprentice to chef. Because Alice Nakiri is his apprentice, and she is the only chef in the kitchen at the moment, she simply skipped this step.

"Thank you, master!"

Looking at Bai Yuan who had prepared the ingredients for her one step ahead, an excited expression appeared on Alice Nakiri's face. This would save her a lot of effort!

However, after this, she also completely saw the gap between herself and Bai Yuan, not only in cooking skills, but also in all aspects of foundation.

With such a large amount of ingredients, it would take her at least half an hour to process, but Bai Yuan finished in less than five minutes. This was far faster than an ordinary person's processing speed, thanks to her amazing understanding of ingredients. She was really a freak!

Alice Nakiri secretly complained in her heart. She naturally didn't dare to say such words out loud. Calling her master a freak? She was afraid that she would want to eat her brain to pieces.

Time passed little by little, and with her methodical cooking, Alice Nakiri prepared 40 dishes in 13 minutes, an average of three minutes per dish.

Most of them are stir-fried dishes, because the dishes are prepared and can be cooked in two or three minutes, so four pots mean four dishes.

Next in line are the pan-fried and deep-fried dishes which are a little more troublesome and take a lot longer as they require several steps.

The most troublesome thing is the main dishes, such as Bai Yuan’s flounder lion head. Although this dish is delicious, it takes more time.

Whether or not to make this type of dish depends mainly on the ingredients brought by the customers.

Only dishes made with ingredients that are fresh enough can be valuable, otherwise it would just be a waste of time.

Take seafood as an example. The freshness of the caught fish is lost every second, so it must be cooked as quickly as possible.

If you wait too long, the fish will lose a lot of its freshness. Unless you use special methods to restore the freshness, it will not taste good no matter how you cook it.

Looking at the bubbling sound of the pot and smelling the faint fragrance in the air, Bai Yuan's face showed an intoxicated look.

"This pot of lion's head tastes really good. It's a bargain for those two guys."

Take out special bowls and cups from the cupboard and add appropriate seasonings into them. These are the most suitable containers for lion heads. Each bowl and cup is just the right size to hold a lion head.

Filter the soup through a high-mesh screen to remove excess impurities, then pour it into a bowl to disperse the seasonings.

After finishing, add the flounder lion head and cover the ceramic lid to lock all the umami flavor in it, waiting for an opportunity to release it.

"I've put the lion's head on the table. Remember to try it when you're done."

"Okay, Brother Bai Yuan!"

There were three servings of lion's head. Bai Yuan left one on the counter as a reward for Alice, and the remaining two were placed on a tray and served.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After kicking Jesse who was talking nonstop and complaining about something, Toth smiled kindly at Bai Yuan who was walking towards them with a plate.

He came here this time to resolve the grudge between the two and make them make peace. Naturally, he would not be cold to Bai Yuan.

Making enemies with a top chef just because of something as trivial as buying fish? This reason is a bit too ridiculous no matter how you think about it!

"Halibut lion's head, try it."

Without much talk, Bai Yuan placed the two bowls in front of Toth and Jesus respectively, and at the same time reached out to help them pick up the lids on the bowls.

In an instant, golden light burst out from the small bowls and directly illuminated the entire restaurant, causing Toth and Jesus in front of them to close their eyes and attracting the attention of the surrounding customers.

"It's just as I thought. The dishes in front of the other people in this restaurant were not made by this young man. I guess only this glowing dish is his real masterpiece!"

When the golden light gradually dissipated, revealing the true contents of the bowl, Toth told Jesus his thoughts, and then he saw him open his mouth with an expression of disbelief and shock.

This also made Toth a little confused.

Following his line of sight, Jesses should be looking in the direction of the bowls and the lion's head!

Chapter 49: Absolutely delicious!

“Continuous… continuous stream of light-level cuisine! How is this possible?! How can cuisine of this level appear here?!”

This time, the number of shocked people increased from one to two. Thoth's eyes widened, and he subconsciously slapped the table and stood up. Looking at the snow-white lion head in front of him, with a layer of light golden light flashing on the surface, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

There is no doubt that this is a flowing dish. Generally speaking, only eight-star chefs are capable of cooking it, and seven-star chefs have a small chance of success. If a low-star chef encounters it in a competition, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack!

How could such a chef be a match for the junior apprentice brother?

real or fake? !

Does he fit too?

“Is this the dish you made?”

"If it's not made by me, then could it be you? Come and try it quickly, the taste will definitely surprise you!"

Although he had expected it, Toth couldn't help but have doubts the moment he actually saw it.

Bai Yuan is really too young. According to common sense, it is impossible for him to cook dishes of this level, but he did it!

Or is there a peerless master hidden in this kitchen who can consistently make 'continuous flow of light cuisine'? !

"Gudu."

On the other side, the sound of Jesus swallowing was clearly heard, which brought Toth back to his senses from his brainstorming and he also swallowed his saliva.

"Big Brother, can we eat now?"

Jess said with a trembling voice. He had already been unable to bear it any longer. Looking at the flounder lion head in front of him, he wanted to shove the spoon in! Dig a spoonful and put it into his mouth!

However, age comes first. In front of Toth, he must learn to be patient and not be controlled by the most primitive desires like a child.

He is a top chef after all!

But now...he seems to have reached the limit of his sanity!

"Eat if you want. There's no need to wait for me to move first. We've been brothers for so many years. You know I'm not the kind of person who cares about such trivial matters."

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Noticing Jesus's suppressed expression, Toth nodded to him, then suppressed his inner excitement and put the spoon in.

The snow-white fish meat lion's head lost a piece when the spoon entered it. It was slowly lifted up and hung in the air for careful observation.

It is very soft and tender. A slight shake will cause it to move and create some ripples. It will definitely fall apart if you pick it up with chopsticks. Only a spoon can allow it to appear in the diner's mouth in its entirety.

“What a perfect work of art!”

Looking at the flounder lion head in front of him with fascination, the snow-white posture was so dazzling, like the noble Tianshan snow lotus, and Toth couldn't help but sigh. It is really a great thing that the food can be made so fresh and beautiful!

He no longer hesitated and put the lion's head in the spoon into his mouth. The first thing he noticed was the extremely delicate taste, as if the fish meat was dancing gently on the tip of his tongue. It not only retained the elasticity and chewiness of the fish meat, but also blended the crispness of the water chestnut, with distinct layers!

Next, the vastness and depth of the ocean slowly spreads on the taste buds. It is a fresh yet rich, delicious taste with a hint of sweetness!

It seems that one can instantly travel to the vast seaside, feel the sea breeze and the sparkling waves...

“I think lemon should be added to this! It’s the finishing touch.

It cleverly neutralizes the last trace of fishy smell of the fish, leaving a fresh and refined sour aroma, making the taste of the whole dish more three-dimensional and rich. ”

Feeling the last hint of aftertaste in his mouth, Toth said with enjoyment on his face, "There is no doubt that this dish is of very high quality!"

"This sweet and sour taste slowly blooms in my mouth, like waves hitting the rocks, one after another! Ah~ the sea!"

At this moment, Jesus, who was also tasting the dish, seemed to have gone deep into the ocean. He could feel schools of fish swimming freely in the deep blue water, seaweed swaying gently, and sunlight shining through the water, casting mottled shadows.

This call from the depths of the sea not only awakens every cell of the taste buds, but also touches the soul's deep yearning for nature and beauty!

“Hahahaha~hahaha~”

At this moment, as Thoth put the fish lion head into his mouth again, his whole body sank into the ocean, merging with the illusion created by Jesses after eating the food.

At this moment, the two of them are holding hands, without any restraints on their bodies, swimming freely in the ocean, exploring its deepest mysteries!

“What an amazing piece of work!”

After a while, the two broke free from the illusion and looked at the flounder lion's head bowl in front of them, which had even the bottom of the bowl been licked clean. Toth closed his eyes and reminisced for a long time before finally speaking slowly. At the same time, he looked towards Bai Yuan not far away with respect in his eyes.

"Mr. Bai, we admit defeat in this food battle.

If you want to take over Jesus's shop, we have no objection, but please forgive him for his unreasonable behavior at that time."

As he spoke, Toth stood up, bowed respectfully to Bai Yuan, and apologized on behalf of his junior brother Jesus.

Originally, Toth was planning to fight him, assist Jesus to win the game, and then show his magnanimity so that he would not bear a grudge.

but now...

The moment he saw Bai Yuan taking out the luminous material, he completely changed his mind.

Facing such an opponent, not to mention Jesus, even he is no match at all!

Although this statement is bitter, it is an obvious fact. In this embarrassing situation, it seems that we can only slide back to our knees at the speed of light!

"Big Brother, you don't have to apologize for me. Isn't it just a dish that continuously releases flowing light? Sooner or later, I will be able to do it too!"

Looking at Toth who was bowing down to him, Jesus clenched his fists in shame and anger, unwilling to admit his mistake.

Being insulted in front of so many people and still admitting his fault? He couldn't do such a shameful thing!

"Shut up! You were the one who made the mistake in the first place. You took the initiative to challenge others but you were not as skilled as them. If you encounter any problems, just call me.

And you want to make dishes that are of continuous quality? Ask yourself, do you think you can really do it with your current attitude towards cooking? "

Hearing Jess's stubborn words, Toth couldn't help but feel a little angry. He still knew right from wrong. If it was Bai Yuan's fault, no matter how strong he was, he would never bow his head in servility!

But this matter is Jess's fault. Such a small matter has not been resolved until now, and he has been slapped in the face again and again. He is really useless!

"I..."

Hearing Toth's words, Jesus' fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

At this moment, it seemed as if a flame was burning in his heart, making the blood in his body boil: his skin was visibly dyed red.

He wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of any words to refute. In the end, he could only stand there in depression, unable to say a word.

"Don't worry, you are not competing with me, you are competing with someone else.

If you win, it's all written off. If you lose, it's all written off, so that should be fine."

The point was the competition, not the apology. After directing all the blame on Turben, Bai Yuan actually had no resentment towards Jesus.

The last time I taught him a lesson in the seafood market was mainly because he took the initiative to cause trouble, and coupled with the previous incident, the new and old grudges piled up together, so I took action.

In fact, if this guy hadn't acted too arrogantly, Bai Yuan wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.

The injustice has the head and the debt has the owner.
