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

“I’ve never eaten anything like this before. It’s a really novel experience.”

Everyone in the kitchen was talking to each other, and soon gathered in front of the steamer, looking at the crystal clear steamed dumplings in the steamer one after another with bright eyes. The source of the fragrance was right here!

"What a hassle! Wait, leave one for me!"

His chopsticks caught nothing and Kurokiba Ryo was about to get angry, but when he came to his senses, he found that the chefs in the kitchen were gathered in front of the steamer, looking greedily at the fish and meat steamed buns inside. This made him run to the steamer anxiously with his chopsticks.

With his size, he would definitely not be able to grab any, but everyone remembered that he was the chef, so they suppressed their desires and took two out of the steamer and gave them to him.

Picking up a fish steamed bun with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth, Kurokiba Ryo closed his eyes, wanting to feel the flavor.

The next moment, his world seemed to be surrounded by a warm and wonderful force.

The fish meat melts on the tip of your tongue like the caress of the ocean, fresh yet deep, with a hint of saltiness and sweetness. That is the taste of the sea, the start of freedom and dreams!

As he chewed deeper, a series of illusions gradually emerged in front of Kurokiba Ryo's eyes. At this moment, he seemed to be standing on a huge pirate ship.

The waves hit the hull of the pirate ship, the sea breeze with a slightly salty scent brushed across my cheeks, and seagulls circled overhead, making crisp chirping sounds.

"Little ones, follow me!"

And in this vast sea, he suddenly transformed into a pirate captain, holding a long sword in his hand and driving his own pirate ship.

"Yes, Captain!"

"Keep the big fish!"

The kitchen helpers around him turned into sailors on a pirate ship. At this moment, they were standing in two rows and pulling the anchor hard at the same time. As the sea in front of them shook, a huge flounder more than ten meters long leaped out of the sea.

Super bumper harvest!

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction emerged from the depths of his heart. Kurokiba Ryo opened his eyes and looked at the chefs around him. They all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Are they eating food? Why do we see such a scene?

When the giant flounder is caught and brought aboard, the heaviness of it feels so real, it doesn’t look fake in any way!

"This is fish dumplings. Is this something you made?"

Looking at the empty steamer in front of him, with not a single steamed bun left inside, and then glancing at Nakiri Alice not far away, Kurokiba Ryo opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to accept this fact.

"Yes, this is fish siu mai. I wonder if you are satisfied with my cooking? How does it compare to your cod fish soup ramen?"

Standing next to Bai Yuan, Nakiri Alice said proudly that he had looked down on her before, and now he was severely slapped in the face~

She heard clearly what Bai Yuan said just now. Since the dish had obvious flaws, the result was already a death sentence!

"No need to compete! This dish is better than mine, I admit that. Let's compete again tomorrow. I will definitely beat you this time!"

Looking at the smug girl in front of him, Kurokiba Ryo clenched his fists and said with an unwilling look on his face, "This is really a case of dying before accomplishing anything!"

"You can compete as many times as you want! But not tomorrow, let's do it next week."

Thinking that she would have to learn cooking from Shirafuchi in the future, Nakiri Alice rejected Kurokiba Ryo. An occasional competition was enough. Too much competition would be boring. It would be better to spend that time with Shirafuchi.

Looking at Shirabuchi who was leisurely eating steamed buns beside her, Nakiri Alice's mouth corners slightly raised. She finally made a dish that satisfied him.

"Next week? What day of the week? Give me an exact number!"

There was fire burning in Kurokiba Ryo's eyes, and he obviously cared about this failure. He would never allow himself to be defeated by such a little girl.

"What day of the week..."

"How about this, every Saturday morning, I'll bring Alice over to compete with you. You provide the ingredients and you decide the subject matter. How about that?"

"Okay! Let's decide it!"

"Eh..."

Seeing that Alice Nakiri pouted slightly and seemed a little impatient, Bai Yuan patted her little head to comfort her, then looked at Kurokiba Ryo and said.

He found that Alice had been a little too relaxed during this period, which was not conducive to the improvement of her cooking skills, so he planned to find some opponents for her.

Kurokiba Ryo is just the first one, and the others have been put aside for the time being because Alice Nakiri is not strong enough.

"Well, it's getting late now, so we'll leave first."

After looking at his cell phone, Bai Yuan stood up and spoke to the chef and Kurokiba Ryo who were watching them in the kitchen, then he led Nakiri Alice away without looking back.

Chapter 19 Golden Ratio Shaomai, White Snake Chain

"Brother Bai Yuan, why did you agree to him? That guy is so weak. If you choose an opponent, there should be a more suitable choice."

After leaving the Harbor Restaurant and looking at Bai Yuan walking briskly beside her, Alice Nakiri finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and asked.

"He is about your age, and both of you are in a period of rapid improvement in your cooking skills. He may become a good rival in the future."

Calling him Master in front of outsiders and calling him Brother in private is a habit that Nakiri Alice has developed in the past two years. The reason is that she is too embarrassed to call him that in front of outsiders, and it is also a bit disrespectful to Shiraha.

After all, no matter what, in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yuan is her master. How can it be improper to call her master "brother"!

"I see. But, will that guy really become stronger? Looking at his arrogant look, he doesn't seem like the type to learn from other people's experience."

"Yes, this kind of person has a strong sense of self-esteem. If he loses, he will think of ways to win it back. And I see his love for cooking. As long as his talent is not particularly bad, he will definitely achieve great success in the future."

"In that case, let's take some time to deal with him."

Looking at Alice Nakiri's innocent eyes, thinking of the burning fighting spirit in Kurokiba Ryo's eyes when he faced him, Bai Yuan suddenly remembered himself who had been constantly challenging the strong a few years ago, and also remembered the scene of the duel with the Five Tiger Stars at that time.

If he hadn't traveled through time, he should have already surpassed the Five Tigers in all aspects, and Xiang En had always been interested in him...

As Bai Yuan was thinking, his thoughts drifted away for a moment. When he came to his senses, he found that his hand had been held by Alice Nakiri, and the girl seemed to be in a good mood.

Never mind, it’s not bad now.

Not long after, the two returned to the Nakiri house. Leonora Nakiri was lying in front of the dining table, her little feet shaking. When she heard the noise coming from the door, she immediately raised her face and looked at them angrily.

"Mom, you are back."

Seeing Leonora Nakiri, Alice Nakiri blushed slightly, let go of Bai Yuan's hand, trotted forward and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Goo~"

At the same time, Leonora Nakiri's stomach made a rumbling sound, but she still reached out and hugged Alice Nakiri, and said with resentment:

"You all went out to play, and you didn't even leave some food for me. I was looking forward to coming back to eat Brother Bai Yuan's cooking!"

"You haven't eaten yet? Then wait here for a while. I have a dish I really want to make right now. Wait for me for twenty minutes."

After calculating the time in his mind, Bai Yuan smiled and said to Leonora Nakiri, while picking up the kitchen apron and walking towards the cooking table.

After this period of cooking teaching, all the children in the Nakiri family, both big and small, became believers in his cooking, to the point where they couldn't live without him!

Although Bai Yuan does not want to use the dark culinary world's methods to control humans, his food is so delicious that people will be reluctant to leave after eating it and will not have any interest in other delicacies.

Turning his head to look at Leonora Nakiri who was looking at him longingly, Bai Yuan swallowed his saliva. He had to admit, this look was too charming!

"Focus, concentrate, Alice is still here."

Realizing that something was wrong with his condition, Bai Yuan took two deep breaths, then looked towards the cooking table, and the next moment walked towards the refrigerator.

Eggs, greens, red and green peppers, some shrimps, tied crabs, half a piece of pork, and a small piece of ham left over from yesterday.

"Brother Bai Yuan, what kind of cooking are you going to do? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at Bai Yuan who was standing in front of the refrigerator thinking, Alice Nakiri stood up from Leonora Nakiri's arms and trotted to his side with expectant eyes.

"Let me perform tonight. Just save your stomach for later. You probably didn't eat enough just now."

"I'm not full, but even if I were, I can still eat Brother Bai Yuan's food!"

Bai Yuan said with a smile, and Alice Nakiri responded hurriedly. Although the two of them had eaten something at the Harbor Restaurant, they were dragged away by Kurokiba Ryo to compete halfway through their meal, so they did not eat enough.

Even if Leonora Nakiri didn't say she was hungry, Bai Yuan would cook something to fill her stomach when he came back. However, when he saw the ingredients in the refrigerator and thought of the fish steamed buns that Alice Nakiri had just made, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

It’s also steamed dumplings, but he has an even better one, Master Ganggun Jie’s golden ratio steamed dumplings, which he made after just a few tries in the dark cuisine world.

As for the taste, I can only say that it is worthy of being the number one steamed bun in mainland China. The fact that Chef Boy’s Universe Steamed Bun won was more or less due to the plot.

Watching Alice Nakiri return to Leonora Nakiri's arms, Bai Yuan took out a bag of flour from under the stove and skillfully added water to the flour.

Because the time limit is 20 minutes, he needs to use some special techniques to knead the dough, which can save a lot of proofing time.

Bai Yuan picked up the custom-made extra-long rolling pin next to him, and with a light "huh", his muscles bulged high, and the rolling pin began to turn rhythmically.

I saw the tip of the stick rotating instantly, and as time went by, the amplitude of the rotation became larger and larger, and the speed became faster and faster.

Feeling the force coming back from the stick, Bai Yuan suddenly stretched out his arm and stabbed it into the dough filled with water in front of him.

The next moment, a giant white python suddenly leaped up from the table! At the same time, it followed the extended rolling pin in Bai Yuan's hand, rotating and rising.

The force of the rotation caused a sudden strong wind to blow around them. When Leonora Nakiri saw this, she opened her mouth in shock.

"This...this, this, this, the dough is flying off the table?!"

Leonora Nakiri said in disbelief, and stood up suddenly.

Next to her, Alice Nakiri looked at Bai Yuan with eyes full of admiration. This miraculous cooking method was simply not something that ordinary people could master!

"Even the best noodle chef in Japan can't compare with such skills!"

Because she had lived in Japan for a long time, Leonora Nakiri had also tried many noodle restaurants, many of which offered live cooking shows. Although they were very exciting, compared with the current Shiraha, it was no exaggeration to say that she was a dwarf compared to a giant.

The strong wind made the hair messy and the clothes rustled, and the giant white python in the sky changed into various postures, curling up, swimming, coiling, or spreading. The various postures dazzled the people, and they kept exclaiming in their hearts how wonderful it was!

"call..."

He let out a long breath, put down the extended rolling pin in his hand, and the white python returned to the table.

At this time, Alice Nakiri was curious and walked over to take a look. What was placed on the table in front of her was a ball of extremely smooth, white, and elastic dough.

"What amazing elasticity! In just such a short time, the dough has reached this level of flexibility. Even if it is left to rise for half an hour, it will never reach this level!"

She stretched out her finger to poke the dough on the table, but was afraid of destroying the integrity of the dough. Nakiri Alice bit her lower lip, and there was a slight tremor in her voice.

This cooking skill is really horrible!

I was feeling a bit smug about winning the competition by making fish dumplings, but in an instant, my mood plummeted.

But what follows is excitement because she still has a lot to learn!

Chapter 20 The Real Golden Ratio Shaomai

"This is so amazing! Is this your original technique? If this technique appears in the Japanese chef world, it will definitely cause a sensation!"

As she was talking, Leonora Nakiri also came to Bai Yuan, her face still flushed with excitement. Such a top genius turned out to be her daughter's master. She really got a great bargain!

"This was taught to me by a master. At the time, he saw that I was extremely talented and treated me as his own son, so he passed on all his skills to me."

Thinking of the old man with the cane, a smile appeared on Bai Yuan's face.

The pastry king Logan, he used mean words to mock him and forced him to compete with him, then secretly learned his skills during the competition, and asked him directly what was wrong after the competition.

After doing this kind of thing many times, Logan naturally understood his idea. However, seeing that Bai Yuan's talent was indeed amazing, and not wanting to let his skills go to waste, he asked Bai Yuan to become his disciple during his 30th challenge.

It's not because Bai Yuan often set off firecrackers to blow up his thatched cottage, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he was forced to teach him a few basic skills to fool him, but he ended up learning my real skills!

"He must be a highly respected master who has developed such a powerful move. Can you tell me the name of this move? But why can the dough fly in the sky and form a shape similar to a giant python?"

After hearing Bai Yuan's description, a look of admiration appeared on Leonora Nakiri's face. A pastry chef who could create such a powerful trick must be the best pastry chef in the world!

"This move is not an individual creation, but a family inheritance. After being perfected by generations, it eventually became the ultimate move 'White Snake Chain'!"

While taking out the remaining ingredients for making siu mai from the refrigerator, Bai Yuan answered the question raised by Leonora Nakiri. He thought for a while and then said, "The so-called White Snake Chain does not rely on strength to knead the dough, but relies on the rotation of the fingers, the rotation of the back of the hand, and the rotation of the stick. Only by combining the three into one can the most authentic White Snake Chain be used!"

"In other words, the essence of pastry making lies in rotation! How much rotation you can make and how deep the rotation is can show the strength of the pastry chef!"

Bai Yuan talked incessantly, recalling the words that old man Luo taught him. Seeing Alice Nakiri beside him listening very seriously, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

As I recall, he was also so serious back then, unwilling to give up even a minute of the opportunity to acquire knowledge and improve his cooking skills.

“What a unique idea! I’m looking forward to the dishes made with this method!”

"Don't worry, I won't let you down. After all, what I'm going to make next is a true golden ratio Shaomai!"

Bai Yuan said this with a mysterious smile, then turned to look at the chopping board in front of him, on which were placed Jinhua ham, shrimps, eggs and spinach.
