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

I have already given you a hint about today's theme dish. If you still can't make it, don't blame me for beating you hard with a bamboo stick!"

Looking at Li Wanwan who was pursing her lips and seemed to be laughing not far away, Bai Yuan said unhappily.

This guy's basic skills are well honed, but he lacks the imagination that a chef should have, and this is something that Kikuchi Enka did very well.

Bai Yuan was speechless when he realized this, so he spent a day developing a training plan for them.

As for Kadozaki Taki and Hojo Miyoko, both of them are good in knife skills and creativity. The key is that they have balanced development and no shortcomings.

Especially Kadozaki Taki, who is worthy of being the second in the class of Totsuki Academy and has the above-average ability of a first-class chef.

However, at this point, if you want to continue to improve, you can only rely on polishing the details of the cooking.

Therefore, Bai Yuan arranged for her to have the Fujian dish [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall]. This dish is very rich in ingredients, and different ingredients require different cooking methods!

It takes several days to soak the dried abalone in water and more than ten hours to make the soup. The ingredients must be simmered in order according to their maturity, which is a test of the chef's skills and is very time-consuming.

It can be said that as long as [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall] is cooked completely and the taste is guaranteed, Kadozaki Taki's cooking skills can be greatly improved.

As for Hojo Miyoko, she aimed to deepen her foundation in all aspects, master new dishes, and enrich herself with experience in the process.

In this way, everyone on the scene had their own tasks, and those who failed to complete their tasks would be spanked with a bamboo stick by Bai Yuan when they finished work in the evening.

There is an element of punishment here, as well as Bai Yuan's bit of bad taste.

After spending a few days together, everyone knew Bai Yuan's true nature, but no one complained about it, and they obviously accepted it.

Of course, one of the reasons is that Bai Yuan is very handsome, so they don’t find him annoying.

More often it is because they really haven't done well and need a method to motivate themselves to improve.

Shame is a very good driving force!

"Hurry up and move, don't let me see you slacking off! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless with my bamboo sticks! Miyoko, doesn't salt cost money? Put it like this!? Take it back and redo it! Eat all the vegetables first!"

Looking at Hojo Midori who brought the dish to the table, Bai Yuan took only one bite and then slapped it back, pointing out its shortcomings and asking her to go back and redo it.

"Okay, Mr. Bai Yuan!"

Hojo Miyoko was very motivated. After eating the dish in her hand, she went back to her own cooking table without stopping and started cooking with great enthusiasm.

"Yuan Guo, your knife skills are much better this time, but your flipping the pot... forget it, let's not waste the ingredients. Flip it 1000 times with sand first!"

Walking over to Mujichi Engo, Bai Yuan couldn't help but hold his forehead when looking at the state of the food in his pot, and then asked him to start from the basics.

"Eh..."

"If you do that again, I'll smack you! Hurry up and do it!"

"Yes! Teacher Bai Yuan!"

Looking at the somewhat reluctant Mujichi Enka in front of him, Bai Yuan did not feel any pity for her because she was beautiful, but raised the bamboo stick in his hand.

As long as he's in his kitchen, you have to listen to him!

He would expel anyone who didn't listen to him, unless what the other person said really touched him, in which case he would reward them.

This is the chef, the chef who needs to coordinate all the flavors in the kitchen!

Otherwise, a thousand people will have a thousand standards, and what ends up in the hands of customers will be dishes of greatly varying quality!

"Ding dong~"

Just as Bai Yuan was thinking, the sound of a crisp doorbell brought him back to his senses.

"Is that Wanqing? It's not even time for dinner yet. You came so early today."

Bai Yuan glanced at Mujichi Enka who picked up a wok filled with sand and went to the corner of the kitchen to practice flipping the wok, then left the kitchen.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of the villa, but the person who opened the door was not Wang Wanqing, but a middle-aged man about 40 years old.

"Uncle, who are you looking for? Or you came to the wrong place."

Looking at the strange man in front of him with a serious expression, Bai Yuan scratched his head in confusion and couldn't help but guess in his heart.

"I'm here to look for my daughter, Li Wanwan. She should be here."

"In the kitchen, come with me."

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Bai Yuan patted his head as if he suddenly realized something, and then led him towards the kitchen.

The middle-aged man was also stunned to see Bai Yuan being so straightforward, then nodded and followed him in big strides.

Soon, he saw several girls working hard in the kitchen. They were sweating and trying to make the dishes in front of them as perfect as possible.

"Dad, why are you here?"

As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, Li Wanwan noticed him, immediately put down the cooking spoon in her hand, and trotted to him.

"You're not concentrating enough on cooking. How can you possibly cook a good meal if you keep looking around like this?"

Just as Bai Yuan was about to speak, the middle-aged man scolded him harshly, with a hint of blame between his brows.

As a chef, the biggest taboo is to look around while cooking. It is impossible to cook good food if you are not focused!

"I know! What are you doing here, Dad?"

Li Wanwan was not at all discouraged by his words. Instead, she asked about her father's purpose of coming. While speaking, she glanced in the direction of Bai Yuan with worry in her eyes.

"I heard that you found a teacher who passed the Guangzhou special examination when he was less than 20 years old. I came here specially to pay a visit. This is the teacher, right? He is really handsome."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man looked at Bai Yuan and bowed slightly, his eyes revealing scrutiny. Such a young man actually passed the most difficult Guangzhou Special Grade Assessment! ?

"Nice to meet you. My name is Bai Yuan. May I ask your name?"

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Bai Yuan naturally would not treat him coldly. He also raised his arm and bowed.

"Li Xiang is currently the head chef of Xianglan Restaurant. I came here this time hoping to learn from you about cooking.

You have just entered the special class, and you probably haven't fought against a special class chef yet. Fight with me and you can also learn what a special class chef is!"

Li Xiang explained the purpose of her visit. Knowing that her daughter had found a top chef as a teacher, she was initially worried that she was being cheated.

But after asking the Guangdong Chefs Association, I found that there is indeed such a top chef who is less than 20 years old.

But he was still a little worried.

So after much consideration, he came to me.

For a chef, the best way to put his mind at ease is to have a battle with his opponent, to see each other's strength and feel each other's cooking.

"Want to compete with me? Great, I've been feeling really depressed lately! I want to find someone to compete with! Since you're opening a Hunan restaurant, let's use Hunan cuisine as the theme, and you can decide the specific ingredients to use.

If I win this game, I hope you can answer a question for me. "

Bai Yuan said excitedly that all the people he met in the past few days had been avoiding fights with various reasons, and now he could finally have a fight with the top chef.

Moreover, the other party has been in Guangzhou for so long, maybe he knows the whereabouts of what he is looking for!

"Okay, let's do as you say."

At this moment, Li Xiang felt that this boy was too arrogant, so she decided to use all her strength to teach him a lesson and then take her daughter away.

Such an arrogant boy will definitely not be able to teach his daughter well!

Chapter 73: Combination of Hunan and Cantonese cuisine

“It’s right here in this kitchen.

The content of this competition is to use everything in the kitchen to make a Hunan dish, regardless of type, and whoever makes the best taste wins. "

Glancing around the kitchen, Li Xiang told the purpose of the competition: to use everything in the kitchen to make a delicious Hunan dish.

Since Bai Yuan is so arrogant, he must have something to rely on, so he will not underestimate him. However, as a top three-star chef, he has been rooted in Guangzhou for more than ten years and has a great reputation.

Now, facing the provocation of a junior, if I don't dare to fight back, wouldn't it be a laughing stock! ?

Wait, something seems a little weird... Wasn't he the one who came to challenge in the first place? How did he accidentally switch his offense and defense?

After a quick thought, Li Xiang suddenly realized something was wrong. Wasn't he here to test Bai Yuan? Why was this guy even more excited?!

This expression... is like a beast that has been hungry for a long time and suddenly sees a fat sheep. That is the desire to hunt!

Thinking of this, Li Xiang swallowed.

No, how could he be scared! This guy is just a junior at most, where does his hunting desire come from? He is just belligerent!

There are many warlike people in this world, but that doesn’t mean they are strong in warlike abilities.

Cheer up and take him down in one go!

“Using all the ingredients in the kitchen as test questions is quite innovative.

Unfortunately, it’s almost evening now. After an afternoon of practice, most of the ingredients have been used up. But these are enough. It’s just a small competition, so let’s use it for the showdown!”

Bai Yuan nodded, looked around, and quickly counted the ingredients left in the kitchen. A dozen dishes immediately emerged in his mind.

In addition to the commonly known ones, there are also several original Hunan dishes that come to mind in an instant.

Hunan cuisine is famous for its unique spicy taste, rich seasoning, diverse cooking techniques and profound cultural heritage.

In other words, as long as these elements are present in the dish, it can be called Hunan cuisine. In this case, the range of choices will be wide!

"Wanwan, call Wanqing to come over. If she's included, there will be exactly five people here who can serve as judges for this competition."

"Wanwan..."

When Li Xiang heard Bai Yuan addressing his daughter, her eyebrows twitched, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she found a seat, sat down, closed her eyes and started thinking.

He had never heard of Bai Yuan, and he was obviously not a native of Guangzhou.

It is said that in this special chef assessment, there is a special chef who combines Cantonese cuisine and Hunan cuisine very well. Could it be him? !

This question popped up in Li Xiang's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. If Bai Yuan wasn't good at Hunan cuisine, how could he dare to challenge him with Hunan cuisine? !

"I admit that you have some talent, but after decades of accumulation, even if you are talented, you can only bow down to me now!

I hope you can use this game to calm down your temper."

Looking at the man laughing and playing among the girls, Li Xiang thought to herself that it was really amazing that he could become a top chef at such a young age.

But, who can become a top chef is not a genius? !

The depth accumulated by time cannot be made up by just a little talent!

"Let's get started. I've already thought of what I want to make. There's no time limit. As long as you can come up with a dish that's as good as mine, I lose."

Li Xiang stood up and walked around the kitchen as she spoke. She would take the ingredients she needed from each cooking table and finally find a new cooking table with the ingredients.

"Then let's get started. I happen to have some ideas, but I don't know if they will work. This is a trendy dish that combines the characteristics of both places."

Just as Li Xiang guessed, Bai Yuan planned to use a combination of Cantonese and Hunan cuisine.

Hunan cuisine is the main ingredient, supplemented by Cantonese cuisine, to create an innovative new-style Hunan cuisine.

Being in Guangzhou, after so many days of tasting and learning, Bai Yuan's understanding of Cantonese cuisine has already reached a higher level.

Among them are many unique Cantonese dishes. They did not stick to tradition, but innovated on this basis and finally came up with amazing new-style cuisine.

The so-called essence.

Just by looking at these new-style dishes, Bai Yuan felt that his thinking was expanding. He also used his super sense of taste to secretly learn a lot of dishes.

No matter how complicated the preparation is, for Bai Yuan it is just a matter of eating a few more bites. As long as the dish has passed his mouth, he can figure out its recipe without much effort.

This is what is called super taste!

"Fresh shrimp, squid, scallops, fresh abalone, enoki mushrooms, a few shiitake mushrooms, half a baby cabbage, and the special seasonings of the two places..."

Looking at the few ingredients in the basket, Bai Yuan quickly picked them out.

Because Guangzhou is close to the sea, seafood is particularly abundant, and most of the food they buy during the day is seafood.

Although a lot was used up, it was still enough for a meal.

"Want to use seafood? Hunan is located inland and not on the coast. Although it is adjacent to Guangdong, the cuisine is still mainly based on land ingredients. It is simply a fantasy to want to defeat me with seafood-based Hunan cuisine!"

Looking at the ingredients Bai Yuan found, Li Xiang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly settled back into her stomach. This guy was too young, so it was normal for him to make such a mistake.

However, the cooking competition would not give preferential treatment for such a reason! The moment Bai Yuan chose to use seafood, he no longer had any reason to lose this competition!

Thinking of this, Li Xiang looked at the stove in front of him.

After cleaning the one-year-old hen, put it into the pot, add cold water, ginger, pepper, and rice wine, and cook over high heat until the hen is cooked.
