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

After scooping out the white bean paste from the dragon-turning pot and storing it in a small jar, Bai Yuan looked up at Kobayashi Longdan, who had a subtle expression on his face not far away.

"What don't you understand?"

Xiaolin Longdan was a little confused.

"Giving your all is a way to respect your opponent, and even more so, the food at hand. If you can't even understand this, there's no point in being a chef!"

Although he didn't really try his best, it didn't stop him from educating Kobayashi Ryodan, as this guy had a huge problem with his philosophy.

But there is one thing he said that is correct.

That is, he respects his opponent and the food he is making! As soon as he starts, he will think about how to make it the best!

"Respect your opponent, respect the food at hand..."

Bai Yuan's voice was not loud, but it made Xiaolin Longdan change from his usual liveliness. He fell into silence and began to seriously think about the true meaning of this sentence.

Bai Yuan saw that she was lost in thought and ignored her. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the snow-white tofu that had escaped the net in front of him.

Traditional Mapo Tofu is made with six flavors in one, namely:

“Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, hot, and crispy.”

On top of that, some great experts continued to research and took it a step further, creating Mapo Tofu that combines eight flavors, namely:

“Numb, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh, and lively.”

What Bai Yuan made this time was the magical white Mapo Tofu that combines eight flavors!

Chop onions, ginger, and garlic and prepare the dish.

Then start cooking!

At this moment, on the other side, Kuga Teruki added water starch to the mapo tofu to thicken the sauce, which was also to prevent it from becoming watery.

"I finished!"

After bringing the finished Mapo Tofu to the table, Kuga Teruki looked at Bai Yuan, and seeing that he was still making it, he took two steps forward, wanting to see how it was progressing.

However, as soon as he walked to Xiaolin Longdan's side and looked into the pot, an expression of shock appeared on his face.

"what?!"

“White…white mapo tofu! How is that possible?! But the smell that permeates it is definitely the real mapo tofu!”

Although he had heard Bai Yuan say that he wanted to make white mapo tofu, when he actually saw it, Kuga Teruki couldn't help but exclaim.

The tofu in the pot was extremely white from beginning to end, and the air was filled with a rich spicy aroma!

It may seem unconventional, but it is actually conservative. However, the dish in front of you is undoubtedly the most authentic Mapo Tofu!

"You've finished just in time. My Mapo Tofu is almost done too. I'll name it 'Magic Eight Flavors White Mapo Tofu'!"

As Bai Yuan spoke, he scooped out the white Mapo Tofu with slightly thickened sauce from the pot and placed it on a plate in front of the two of them.

"Come on, give it a try!"

When the food fell, it did not emit a strong golden light as the two had imagined. Instead, it restrained the golden light, leaving only a layer of light golden light lingering on the surface. This was the result of Bai Yuan's journey.

The dish is prepared from an ordinary state to one that emits golden light, and then to a layer of continuous light flowing on the surface of the dish.

These are actually explosions of flavor. At the moment the dish is finished, the flavor explosion cannot be suppressed, so such strange phenomena occur.

Now, with a little more concentration, Bai Yuan has been able to converge the golden light, so that only a faint and continuous layer of light lingers on the surface of the food.

In this way, the flavor of the food will be locked in it, and will not burst out until the moment it enters the mouth.

Bai Yuan also used this trick during the Guangzhou special assessment and when making wine-flavored vegetarian steak, but he didn't think too much about it at that time.

After a year of traveling, he can already cook any type of dish to the level of a streamer, and the success rate of dishes like this one that have a restrained golden glow and lock the fragrance inside the dish is also quite high.

There are many benefits to cooking in this way, one of which is that it can keep the taste at its best for a longer time.

The second is to let the taste explode in the mouth, bringing a wonderful impact and making diners have a stronger sense of instant happiness!

"Is this... a weaker version of the glowing food? It's just a layer of light wrapped around the surface. I've never heard of this kind of food before...

However, the aroma of pepper and chili peppers in the air is so strong, and even though the whole dish of mapo tofu is pure white, it makes people feel extremely warm! "

Because he had never seen Liuguang cuisine before and his knowledge was limited, when Kobayashi Ryōdan saw the dish in front of him, he couldn't help but hum a low voice.

The glowing dish in front of her was beyond her common sense.

In fact, she had never even seen a glowing-level dish. She just heard that when a glowing-level dish was finished, it would emit an amazing golden light.

And now...

Xiaolin Longdan fell into deep thought, and when she picked up the chopsticks to taste it...

"This is a stream-level dish, which is above the luminous-level dish. But normally, even for a stream-level dish, it should first go through the luminous-level process..."

Erina Nakiri's voice came from the door, and the end of her words revealed a strong sense of confusion.

She walked over from the corridor and didn't see any golden light. She didn't expect that there would be flowing light in the classroom. Who were these two people in front of her? The students that Teacher Bai Yuan called over?

No! She didn't know the man very well, but she knew the girl, Erina Nakiri, Kobayashi Ryodan, a sophomore in the senior department who was good at cooking all kinds of precious ingredients. How could she be here? !

"It's Erina! And the two people following behind you, hello~"

Seeing that the person coming was Erina Nakiri, Kobayashi Ryodan greeted her warmly, acting like a familiar person.

"What on earth are these dishes above the luminous level that you mentioned?"

"Food above the glowing level, in simple terms, is food that tastes better than glowing food, and usually has the flavor of turning decay into something magical!"

“Food that shines..."

Hearing Erina Nakiri's description, Kobayashi Ryōdan swallowed.

My eyes were fixed on the white Mapo Tofu in front of me, and my heart beat slightly faster. What would this dish taste like?

At the same time, several people in the classroom turned their heads and found that not only Erina Nakiri had arrived, but also Megumi Tadokoro and Yuki Yoshino followed behind.

It seemed that they met in the classroom and then came here together.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, we are here."

"Sorry to bother you..."

When her eyes met Bai Yuan's, Tansho Kei couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed smile on her face, obviously feeling that she had disturbed them.

"No, you came at the right time. Come in and try this dish together."

Hearing Tanomo Megumi's apology, Bai Yuan waved his hand indifferently, then pulled them in to join the cooking review.

In fact, at this point no one mentioned the competition anymore, because the gap between the two was too big, equivalent to comparing a primary school student with a graduate student in arithmetic.

Even if a graduate student studies liberal arts, he or she can still beat elementary school students in all aspects.

This is a gap in quality.

"Can we eat it, too?"

Bai Yuan's words made Yoshino Yuki's eyes light up. She then took two steps forward and looked at the white mapo tofu in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"What is this? It smells spicy and numbing, but looks so white. The contrast between the strong smell and appearance is so strong..."

Yuki Yoshino looked at the food in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

It looks extremely white and tender, but it gives people a full-flavored feeling. This extreme contrast makes people interested in it.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a dish from Sichuan, China, Mapo Tofu! But, isn't Mapo Tofu usually red?"

Erina Nakiri's voice was heard from the side, and she walked up with some doubts and soon stood in front of the Mapo Tofu.

If the dish in front of her hadn't been sparkling with light, she would have thought it was someone's prank. How could anyone make mapo tofu in white?

"I suddenly realized that everything was white, from the tofu to the sauce at the bottom, and then to the pure white minced meat. There was no other color at all. It was so pure and subtle!"

After looking at it carefully, Yoshino Yuki discovered that the food in front of her did not have a trace of other colors, it was a natural white!

“What a beautiful dish.”

Tansho Kei murmured softly, as if sighing that it was hard to imagine such a beautiful thing as a dish.

“It is indeed very beautiful, like a work of art!”

Erina Nakiri said in agreement, the light emitted by the food reflected in her eyes, revealing a deep obsession.

The aroma of the food was not very strong and could only be smelled when one was close, so it did not make the people present look embarrassed like they did in the classroom.

However, as time went by, the lingering fragrance still made them feel restless, and they wanted to eat up all the food in front of them.

"I can't stand it anymore!"

In less than a minute, Kobayashi Ryodan's patience reached its limit. He picked up the spoon and chopsticks and reached into the plate.

She was not greedy. She just scooped a spoonful of tofu while swallowing her saliva, picked up a few pieces of minced meat, and put all the food into her mouth.

"hiss..."

The rich flavor explodes in your mouth!

The spicy aroma of bean paste, the numbing taste of peppercorns, and the tang of garlic and ginger are intertwined together to create a complex and harmonious taste experience.

Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, tender and hot.

This is the first thing I felt.

Next up is the deep-fried soy minced meat! It has a crispy texture, and with a slight push of chopsticks, it flies away like a marble!

"The faded garlic sprouts stood up on the plate!"

As Xiaolin Longdan moved, the originally harmonious and integrated white mapo tofu suddenly changed.

The faded garlic sprouts that were spread on the dish suddenly stood upright on the plate, as if they had just been picked and chopped from the fields, vivid and lifelike!

And this is the last flavor of white mapo tofu.

live!

“Feel the tofu jumping in your mouth!”

Megumi Tadokoro's cheeks flushed and she exhaled hot air. As she took a spoonful of tofu into her mouth, she felt something rushing around in her mouth.

Just press lightly with your upper palate, and all kinds of spicy, fresh and fragrant flavors suddenly burst out from this small piece of tofu.

It’s hard to imagine that a small piece of tofu can contain so much flavor!

"Really? This minced meat tastes great. Is it made from chicken? Why is it so crispy? And it's surprisingly elastic!"

Compared to the fresh tofu that was bumping around everywhere, Yoshino Yuuki was extremely interested in the rich, crispy and elastic soybean minced meat in her mouth! So she looked up and asked Bai Yuan.

"No, we just put the soybeans in the chicken broth to let them absorb the essence of the chicken broth, then simply season them with salt, crush them, and finally put them in a boiling oil pan to lock in the flavor and fry them until they are set."

Bai Yuan had no intention of hiding anything and directly told the method of mincing the meat in the dish, referring to the magical six-flavor mapo tofu created by Fairy Bei.

"The crispy meat is made from soybeans, no wonder it is white in color, so that's why, it is so elastic, what an amazing technology!"

As she spoke, Erina Nakiri also scooped a spoonful of mapo tofu into her mouth.

Then a nervous look appeared on his face, and his hands tightly grasped the corners of his chef's uniform, as if he was worried about something.

One second, two seconds.

"It seems that this time there won't be..."

As soon as this thought came to Erina Nakiri's mind, a surge of power suddenly emerged in her body, which made her look at Bai Yuan for help. He was the only one who could help her at the scene...

Upon seeing this, Bai Yuan immediately took action and quickly moved towards Erina Nakiri, but because he was blocked by Kobayashi Ryodan and others in front of him, he was still a beat slower in the end.

"Stop it!"

Bai Yuan's voice suddenly exploded in Erina Nakiri's ears, carrying with it infinite power.

Because of the appearance of this voice, the power emanating from Erina Nakiri slowed down and even stagnated for a short time.

The next moment, a big warm hand fell on her shoulder, infusing her with infinite internal strength, counterbalancing the power that was about to burst out of her body.

However, the situation this time was slightly different from the last time. Because of the previous delay, the explosive force was about to rush out this time. Even if Bai Yuan arrived, he could only suppress it.
