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

With such a voice constantly whispering in her mind, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but pick up the knife and fork, and Bai Yuan also cut the food in the baking tray into six small pieces of equal size, put one of them on a white porcelain plate and handed it over.

"Try it and feel the difference between my gratin and yours. That's my advice to you."

Without Bai Yuan saying anything, Alice Nakiri had already picked up the knife and fork in her hand, scooped out a small piece, put it into her mouth and closed her eyes.

With the first bite, the richness of the cheese and the softness of the potatoes become the initial flavors in your mouth.

At this moment, she seemed to be in a vast expanse of golden and sticky lake.

As a gentle breeze blew by, a rich aroma of cheese wafted away. Looking closely, this lake was actually formed entirely by cheese!

The moment Alice Nakiri observed this, strips of cheese emerged from the lake and madly wrapped around her body, trying to make her sink forever into this extremely beautiful golden cheese lake.

Just when Alice Nakiri was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, potatoes emerged from the lake, giving her a brief respite. They exuded the unique fresh scent of soil and nature, and together with the cheese lake, they took her to the distance.

However, this feeling did not last long, as deeper down, the unique smoky aroma of bacon and the sweetness of onions came over you!

They are like the passionate melodies suddenly added to the ancient music, awakening the taste buds to deeper expectations!

The freshness of the white wine is like a breeze, shuttling between these complex flavors, not only balancing the overall taste, but also adding an indescribable elegance to the dish.

Chapter 5 Alice, is this your boyfriend?

"Is it gone already?"

When she came to her senses, the plate in front of her had already become empty. Nakiri Alice looked at the plate in astonishment, which had been licked by her until it was as shiny as new, and muttered in a daze.

But soon, she seemed to have thought of something and looked towards the baking tray not far away, where there were still two servings of cheese baked potatoes left.

While she was tasting the food in front of her, Bai Yuan had already eaten three servings and was about to put the fourth on his plate.

"I'll give it to you, and give the rest to Mr. Jonah, the bodyguard who just helped me buy clothes."

Seeing Alice Nakiri giving him a burning gaze, Bai Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, but finally pushed his plate over and handed the remaining portion to Jonah who had been waiting nearby.

"Ah? For me..."

Jonah, the bodyguard in a black suit who had just helped Bai Yuan buy clothes and gave him two pieces of chocolate, said in surprise.

"Well, thank you for what you did just now."

Bai Yuan expressed his sincere gratitude. If Jonah had not thoughtfully prepared chocolate for him, he couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to go through 40 minutes with an empty stomach and without any delicious food.

"this..."

"Just eat it if it's given to you. Bai Yuan's cooking skills are very good. It's definitely more delicious than any cheese baked potatoes you've ever eaten."

"I understand. Thank you, Miss, and thank you, Mr. Bai."

Seeing Jonah's hesitation, Alice Nakiri spoke vaguely while eating her baked potatoes with cheese. Her face turned red as she spoke, and she was obviously thinking of what she said to Bai Yuan at the beginning.

"Try it. After this I should probably leave."

Bai Yuan is now wearing new clothes. As he is much taller than his peers, it should not be difficult for him to find a job as a chef.

No matter how bad the situation is, the other party will give him a chance to try.

Of course, the most important thing is that after eating the baked potatoes with cheese, Bai Yuan felt that his internal strength had recovered a lot and could be used normally again. If he took it seriously, he would have no problem dealing with two or three adult men.

Unfortunately, because he was too young and his body was still in its development stage, excessive exercise would probably prevent him from growing taller, so he seldom exercised specifically.

However, he is now 13 years old and his height has exceeded meters. In another two years, he should be able to reach meters and can start formal exercise.

"Are you leaving? Where are you going? If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here. I have a lot of spare rooms."

Hearing that Bai Yuan was leaving, Nakiri Alice suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, and said anxiously, her eyes revealing reluctance.

She had finally found someone who could talk to her and whose cooking skills were so good. If possible, she didn't want to let him go just like that!

"Stay here? Although it's a good choice, I still want to find a class to attend. After all, I need to eat."

Bai Yuan expressed his thoughts. He didn't have a penny in his pocket now. He could be said to be penniless. If he didn't work, he would really starve to death.

"Can you please not leave?"

Alice Nakiri said with a pout, unwilling to let go of the hand that was holding Bai Yuan's sleeve. She finally made a friend. Before this, she had always been alone, which made her very lonely.

"If you don't leave, will you support me?"

Bai Yuan said this half-jokingly, but he was indeed tempted. With the power of Alice Nakiri's family, supporting him shouldn't be a big problem.

But, wouldn't he be a gigolo? !

"I'll take care of you!"

Alice Nakiri said this without even thinking, and then immediately realized that something was wrong, and a blush appeared on her little face.

"I want you to be my teacher and teach me about cooking. The salary will definitely be higher than what any restaurant out there offers!"

Alice Nakiri hurriedly added that although she was young, she knew a lot. After all, compared to conservative Japan, the atmosphere in Northern Europe was obviously more open, especially Denmark.

"Become a master..."

Bai Yuan fell into deep thought and considered it seriously. The main reason was that it was very troublesome to find a job and a place to live now. It would be easier to stay here and become Nakiri Alice's master.

Teaching someone cooking and getting paid is a relatively serious job. Wait for two years and save enough money before leaving!

“That’s fine, but…”

Bai Yuan was just about to say something when there was a sudden noise from the door of the villa, followed by a burst of brisk footsteps, and a beautiful figure passed through the entrance and appeared in front of the two of them.

"Ala, Alice, is this your new boyfriend? Yes, he's a really handsome boy."

His eyes scanned Bai Yuan from top to bottom. The person had long white hair, a gentle and intellectual appearance, and was wearing a sexy and playful black dress.

Judging from her appearance, it is not difficult to tell that this person should be Alice Nakiri's mother.

"Who is this beautiful sister? You look so much like Alice, you must be her sister."

"Oh my, you misunderstood. I am Alice's mother."

Hearing Bai Yuan's address to her, the white-haired mature woman instantly became shy, and while waving her hands and saying "Aiya, aiya", she did not hide the joy on her face.

"How is that possible! You're so young, I thought you must be the older sister! By the way, my name is Bai Yuan, and I'm Alice's friend."

Bai Yuan also showed a shocked expression on his face. If Oscar were here, he would definitely give him a little golden man.

"Friends? What a shame, you two seem to be such a good match. But do I really look that young?"

"Of course, time has left no trace on your face! Otherwise, I will call you sister from now on. With a face like this, I will feel guilty if I call you auntie!"

"Okay! Then you can call me sister from now on. And you really don't want to consider Alice? She will be as beautiful as me in the future~"

Bai Yuan flattered with a smile, but what he said was half true, because Leonora Nakiri looked really young. It's good to be rich, and there was no sign of erosion of time on her face.

As for the other half, Bai Yuan already knew Leonora Nakiri's identity, so theoretically he shouldn't have called her wrong.

This reflects Bai Yuan's high emotional intelligence. For a woman who has become a wife and is raising children, she must be very concerned about her age.

At this time, as long as he sincerely describes her as younger, even if the other party knows that he might be pretending, it will still be very effective!

In order to stay in this family and become Nakiri Alice's teacher, Bai Yuan decided to win Nakiri Leonora's favor with words first.

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

Hearing the two of them talking back and forth, when Leonora Nakiri sold her out and wanted to marry her to Bai Yuan, Alice Nakiri stamped her feet with a red face to express her protest.

"Hahaha, Alice is still shy. I clearly saw you grabbing his clothes just now, why did you let go when you saw me coming?"

Looking at Alice Nakiri's performance and thinking of the scene she saw when she entered the room just now, Leonora Nakiri couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

It was because she saw this that she helped her daughter to find a couple. How could a little girl grab a boy's sleeve for no reason? This is something only couples do!

Chapter 6: The Test of Leonora Nakiri

"So, you want him to be your cooking teacher?"

Looking at Alice Nakiri who had a serious look on her face, Leonora Nakiri repeated what she had just said.

"That's right, Mom, I want Bai Yuan to be my cooking instructor!"

Alice Nakiri said excitedly, it was a pity that she had just eaten the last piece of baked potato with cheese, otherwise she would have let her mother see Bai Yuan's cooking skills.

"This is no joke. You have to at least let me see the strength of Brother Bai Yuan."

After the introduction, Leonora Nakiri already knew Bai Yuan's name, and because of his praise just now, she was full of good feelings towards him.

However, this does not mean that she is willing to let Bai Yuan be Nakiri Alice's cooking teacher. After all, she has always been doing this before!

"Excuse me, what would you like to eat now, Sister Nora? I will prove myself with cooking."

Bai Yuan's voice revealed infinite confidence. If he was talking about other things, it would be fine, but if he was asked to prove himself with cooking, he would have many ways to prove himself!

"Let me think..."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Leonora Nakiri's eyes froze, and she actually put her finger to her mouth and thought seriously.

"I want to eat a meal that has vegetables and soup and fills me up. There is no time limit, but the taste must satisfy me."

Looking at Bai Yuan's face, Leonora Nakiri stated her request with a smile. Because the other party had just been so sweet, she deliberately relaxed the conditions.

"Isn't this just noodles with toppings? No, if it has soup, it would be more appropriate to call it ramen.

In that case, let’s make the classic Japanese ramen, tonkotsu ramen!”

After hearing what Leonora Nakiri said, the image of ramen immediately emerged in Bai Yuan's mind. There is a vegetable, there is soup and it is filling. The dish that combines these three elements in one is undoubtedly ramen!

"Tonkotsu ramen? It's surprisingly ordinary."

“Whether a dish is delicious or not depends on the control of details. Even if it is the same dish, the taste will be completely different if the person who makes it is different.”

"Okay, then let me see your cooking, Brother Bai Yuan."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Leonora Nakiri was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded. Tonkotsu ramen did meet her requirements.

However, making popular Japanese dishes that satisfy her taste is much more difficult than making some niche dishes that she has never eaten!

Take fried rice with egg for example. Anyone can make it, so if you want to sell it at a high price, the chef must have high skills and be able to make it taste different.

"No problem, but I need some time to prepare the ingredients before that."

Bai Yuan bowed slightly and stated his request. Since Japan is very close to China and is also in Asia, he knows a lot of Japanese cuisine, including tonkotsu ramen, which he learned from a recipe.

I just don’t know if the recipes from a hundred years ago can suit the tastes of modern people.

Calculating the time, [Cooking Restaurant Ichiban] should have a history of about 100 years from modern times. During these years, no one knows to what extent modern Japanese tonkotsu ramen has developed.

"Jonah, assist Brother Bai Yuan and go to the nearby market to buy the ingredients he needs."

"Okay, ma'am."

After hearing what Bai Yuan said, Leonora Nakiri immediately ordered her bodyguard Jonah, who was a local and was more familiar with the situation in the nearby market than they were.

Then, Jonah took Bai Yuan away from the Nakiri family. Seeing them leave, Leonora Nakiri also turned her eyes to Alice Nakiri.

"Alice, where did you meet Brother Bai Yuan? Can you tell mom?"

With a gentle and peaceful smile on her face, Leonora Nakiri pulled up a chair and sat down, apparently preparing to hold a small family meeting.

Leonora Nakiri felt that it was a big problem that her daughter brought a strange man home. She didn't know what kind of magic potion Bai Yuan had given her that made Alice, who was always proud of her cooking, take the initiative to ask him to be her cooking teacher.

"Mr. Jonah, I need a lot of things, but I don't have any money at the moment. I'll lend you this money, and I'll definitely pay you back in the future."

After leaving the Nakiri family's villa, Bai Yuan spoke to Jonah beside him and said that he really didn't like owing anything to others.
