Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Compared to the shock of others, the fervor in Kikuchi Sonoka's eyes was even greater. This was not the first time she had seen such a scene, and she only felt a sense of familiarity with it.

　Although it was a work completed in an instant, its level of completion was in no way inferior to the meticulous craftsmanship of some chefs, which is where Seven Stars of Literature excels.

　The Wuqu sword and the Wenqu sword.

　A knife known for its sharpness and cutting speed, capable of quickly processing large quantities of ingredients for cooking techniques requiring high-speed cutting.

　Known for its elegant knife shape and exquisite carving, this knife focuses on the decorative carving of ingredients, or simply put, the appearance of the dish.

　Chapter 133 If you give up, then there will truly be no hope!

　"The outcome of this match is no longer in doubt!"

　Staring intently at Bai Yuan, Kikuchi Yoko murmured softly, then stepped forward and stood at the sales point next to the food counter, addressing the group of customers gathered in front of her:

　"Those who wish to purchase, please line up here now. First come, first served, while supplies last."

　The commotion in the crowd stopped as soon as those words were spoken.

　For a moment, no one acted immediately; instead, they stood hesitantly in place, looking at each other.

　However, this hesitation did not last long.

　"smell good!"

　As soon as Bai Yuan put the prepared ingredients into the pots, simultaneously manipulating ten pots with chopsticks, releasing bursts of aroma, people immediately moved.

　"Don't rush, everyone. Let me go scout out the enemy's situation first."

　The man spoke with righteous indignation, but before he could take a step, his collar was grabbed firmly by the person behind him and pulled back.

　"Let me do this arduous task."

　"No, no, I'll do it!"

　Suddenly, the team, which had been frozen in place, erupted into a commotion.

　Some people rushed forward, while others pulled those who were going to step forward back, and they themselves leaned forward, pushing and shoving each other, all wanting to be the first.

　Kikuchi Sonoka was pleased to see this, but also a little annoyed, so she called out, "Everyone line up, there's enough for everyone, don't push!"

　However, perhaps because her voice was too soft, or perhaps because the people around her thought she was easy to bully, they ignored her from beginning to end.

　"Everyone, please stop pushing..."

　Looking at the scene, Kikuchi Sonoka shouted a couple more times, but the people around her seemed not to hear her and continued to crowd around as if they didn't hear her.

　"Start with the kid in the middle of the line, everyone else stand at the back. Now we'll start distributing number tags. Pick up your food according to the number called."

　These are my rules here; those who don't obey can get out now.

　With his inner strength concentrated in his abdomen, Bai Yuan shouted in a booming voice towards the front.

　For a moment, the people gathered around paused, about to say something, but stopped when they saw his eyes.

　Then they all retreated to the back, and the line became very long in no time.

　Of course, not everyone is willing to put up with Bai Yuan's attitude, especially when there is another shop of similar quality next door.

　Many people left in a huff and lined up at Yukihira Joichiro's stall.

　The number of people on both sides, including the die-hard fans of the Yukihira Hotel, was not much different.

　However, because Bai Yuan was giving out numbered tickets and calling numbers later, the crowd moved forward quickly, and soon only a few guests remained in the queue.

　This method can save time queuing and increase the number of dishes sold, since a 20% deposit is required in advance to get a number.

　This is the receipt.

　A streamlined sales process can often significantly boost product sales.

　"Hey!"

　After all the ingredients were put into the pot, Bai Yuan picked up the silver chopsticks placed on the counter and quickly started working with both hands.

　Within ten minutes, dishes appeared on plates carved with red dragons.

　"It smells so good! There are four side dishes in one dish, it looks really appealing!"

　The four types of dishes are evenly arranged on the plate, each occupying a corner without interfering with the others, ultimately forming a treasure platter of snacks.

　At the same time, an extremely rich aroma emerged, drawing the people who had dispersed back to the dish, their eyes fixed intently on the food on the plate.

　Even behind Joichiro Yukihira's booth, many customers who had previously rebelled gave up queuing and ran over to get number plates.

　The rest were also eager to try it, but mindful of their connection with Yukihira Restaurant, they covered their noses and turned their heads away.

　Meanwhile, Yukihira Joichiro had just finished processing ingredients for 50 people when he saw this situation and couldn't help but frown slightly.

　"No, if this keeps up, we'll lose all our customers! We need to start cooking!"

　Thinking of this, Yukihira Joichiro raised his hand and lifted the white cloth covering the middle of the kitchen counter, revealing the iron plate underneath.

　"A teppanyaki-style dish? That looks really appealing!"

　Without Bai Yuan's miraculous skills, there are many things to consider if you want to sell enough dishes within three hours.

　The most important factor is cooking speed.

　If it takes more than ten minutes to cook a pot of food, then even if there are many customers who want to eat it and his food is very popular, he will not be able to beat the other party.

　Therefore, he prepared this iron plate, which occupies almost half of the cooking counter and can cook five dishes at the same time, greatly improving cooking efficiency.

　They thought victory was assured, but they never expected that Bai Yuan could control ten pots simultaneously with several chopsticks, cooking completely different dishes.

　"Now, number one, come forward. The soup is on my right. You can take it if you need it."

　Glancing in the direction of Yukihira Joichiro, Kikuchi Sonoka lifted the lid of the seaweed and egg drop soup pot next to her, revealing the whole thing inside.

　The steaming soup emitted an enticing aroma, and some customers, seeing that it wouldn't be their turn so soon, went ahead to ladle out some soup.

　"Thank you."

　The moment she finished speaking, someone immediately came up with a number plate, took the food she handed over, and quickly paid the remaining amount.

　Following number one, numbers two, three, four... are listed in order.

　Before Kikuchi Sonoka could even call out their numbers, the Rindo members could immediately announce their numbers and then eat at the tables set up next to them after receiving their food.

　Because the match was scheduled for the evening, Bai Yuan spent money to buy the right to use both sides of the street for a day, and prepared about a hundred seats for the guests to use.

　"Delicious! This spicy chicken cutlet is absolutely amazing, one bite and..."

　The crispy bread and tender chicken cutlet combine perfectly for a superb taste!

　As soon as Guest A sat down, he began to taste it. The freshly cooked sesame-flavored chicken cutlet was the most fragrant. With one bite, the crispy and tender textures burst forth at the same time.

　"And this Jade Hairpin Shrimp Balls, now I know why it has the words 'Jade Hairpin' in it!"

　The tenderness of the shrimp balls perfectly complements the crispness of the three types of shredded bamboo shoots, carrots, and asparagus, creating a harmonious and entirely new flavor.

　Guest B couldn't help but exclaim that the taste of the shrimp was beyond his imagination, and could be said to be the best shrimp dish he had ever eaten in his life!

　"Not only that, the Jade Hairpin Shrimp Balls dish has an exceptionally rich and natural shrimp flavor. It's so delicious that it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth, making me, a shrimp lover, extremely satisfied!"

　Guest C also spoke up, his face full of blissful enjoyment. He was an extreme fan of shrimp, and when he saw that Bai Yuan had prepared shrimp dishes, and that the shrimp dishes were ones he had never eaten before, he immediately defected from Cheng Yilang's fan club.

　"I love these snow-covered mini dumplings. They're filled with all sorts of different fillings, each with a unique flavor. Every bite is a completely new experience! Long live sweets!"

　Holding a small, snow-white dumpling the size of a longan between her fingers, the girl's face was filled with joy; it was because of this that she chose Bai Yuan.

　Snowflake Dumplings.

　It uses the same cooking method as snow cotton red bean paste, but replaces the filling and rolls it into smaller pieces, thus creating a completely new flavor.

　"Who eats dessert right away? Save it for last, you bastard!"

　Seeing that some people had already begun to taste the last dessert, some particular people immediately pounded their chests and stamped their feet, their faces showing regret.

　How can you eat dessert before a meal?! You won't be able to eat anything else after that!

　"I can eat Joichiro's food anytime, but this chef might only be staying for a day. No way! I have to buy another serving later!"

　Customer A spoke, then picked up the orange and black pepper beef cubes and examined them in the sunlight:

　"The quality of this beef is really good, with the sweet and sour taste of oranges, the spiciness of black pepper, and the tenderness that melts in your mouth with just a little chewing."

　A multitude of flavors converge in the mouth, exploding all at once with a single bite—truly a top-tier experience!

　"And have you noticed? These dishes appear to be scattered and have no connection to each other."

　But once you actually taste it, you'll find that no matter which dish you start with, the lingering flavor in your mouth will make the next dish you eat even more delicious!

　"Indeed, if you eat the orange and black pepper beef cubes first, and then the jade hairpin shrimp balls, the shrimp balls will have a subtle sweet and sour taste and a spicy flavor, which will elevate the taste of the shrimp balls and create a completely new flavor!"

　"If you pair it with sesame-flavored chicken cutlet, it will taste completely different!"

　"That's right! These four snacks, including the most diverse flavor of the Snow Floss Dumplings, can probably be combined in dozens of ways."

　This dish is simply a treasure trove of flavors that you can keep exploring!

　The man couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

　Thanks to Bai Yuan's extremely high cooking efficiency, more and more people have been able to taste his dishes.

　Because of the different order in which they tasted the food, the lingering flavors in their mouths were different, and their experiences were also completely different, much like drawing cards.

　However, there was a consensus at the scene.

　good to eat!

　"It felt like being in a peaceful and tranquil little world. Wheat and red beans were planted in the fields, along with all sorts of other crops. Shrimp swam and played in the water, and cows grazed and sunbathed on the hillside behind the village. Everything was so beautiful!"

　"No worries, no troubles, just thinking about what to do today."

　Tasting this dish feels like stepping back into the happiest time of my childhood!

　Close your eyes and feel it carefully; everyone present seemed to have returned to their childhood.

　They were carefree back then, without having to worry about the future; it was arguably the happiest time of their lives!

　As they grow up, they are busy making a living and have no time to appreciate the beauty around them. Their lives are reduced to the mundane details of daily life.

　Now, thanks to Bai Yuan's dish, they have returned to that time, which brings tears to their eyes.

　Some of the middle-aged people even burst into tears, eating their food while crying, looking utterly pathetic, yet no one laughed at them.

　They shouldered the heavy burden of their families and were among the most stressed.

　Forget about the carefree days of childhood; if you don't earn money, you'll get scolded by your wife even if you just come home and breathe.

　Middle age is also the time when layoffs are most severe. If you don't want to be laid off, you can only work desperately, staying up all night. The pressure is immense.

　Nowadays, the value of food that can provide them with a brief respite and solace transcends mere taste.

　"This is wonderful! It's the first time I've ever had a dish like this."

　"Boss, another one!"

　The middle-aged man wiped away his tears and called out in the direction of Bai Yuan, but received no response.

　This made him realize that this was not an izakaya (Japanese pub), and that the food had to be picked up by lottery.

　"Stop with the hammer! Do you think this is an izakaya? If you want it, get a new number."

　One with precedent

　A discerning person, halfway through tasting the food, finds it delicious and gets up early to go to Kikuchienka's place to get a new number.

　After enjoying the meal, you can seamlessly transition to another activity.

　"Damn it! Who secretly cooked and ate me while I was away?"

　However, his smugness didn't last long. When he returned to his seat, he looked at the empty plate in front of him and angrily looked around.

　Someone actually managed to secretly eat all the remaining food on their table while he was away!?

　Such incidents are not uncommon; many people are too clever for their own good. How could anyone resist the allure of top-notch cuisine?

　"That's terrifying..."

　Watching Shirai Awakening continuously produce new dishes, and the diners at his table with their faces full of madness, Soma Yukihira couldn't help but swallow hard.

　"Don't be so discouraged. We still have a chance to catch up. It may be a little difficult, but if we give up, there will really be no hope."

　At this moment, Joichiro Yukihira stood in front of the iron plate, holding an iron shovel in his hand. Hearing Soma Yukihira's words, he spoke to him with a deep look in his eyes.

　Although he knew the chances of winning were slim, at least there was still a chance; if he gave up, there would be no hope at all.
