Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Seeing the boar jumping around in front of him, Senzaemon Nakiri waved his hand, and then two bodyguards stepped forward from behind him, one on the left and one on the right, and walked towards the boar.

　"No need, just have them carry the meat downstairs later."

　As Bai Yuan spoke, he drew his Broken Army Blade from behind him and, with a light touch of his toes, arrived beside the Earth Pig.

　Because he moved very quietly, he was not noticed by the local pig, which was still eating the mushrooms on the ground.

　"Porcupine Crimson Flame Slash!"

　With a soft snort, the people around who were stunned saw a flash of white light, and the earth pig grunted twice before standing stiffly in place without moving.

　Seeing the unchanged earth pig in front of Bai Yuan, and Bai Yuan silently sheathing his sword, the people present showed puzzled expressions.

　However, because of the lesson learned by the couple, despite their doubts, no one dared to be the first to speak, and they stood silently waiting for Bai Yuan to speak.

　The next moment, a burst of energy erupted from the boar's body.

　Golden light.

　Then several slits appeared on the pigskin, from which blood flowed out, forming a small red stream that flowed down, while the various parts of the pork lay peacefully on the pigskin.

　Chapter 141 The Taste of Master

　"What amazing pig-slaughtering skills!"

　Seeing the pig slaughtered in an instant, the crowd stared wide-eyed, some unable to believe what they were seeing, and it took them a long time to swallow their saliva.

　"This...the blood was completely drained, and the meat is in perfect condition. This kind of thing...it was actually done in an instant!!"

　Someone stepped forward to check and found that the pork in front of them had been processed perfectly, with all the blood drained and not a trace of blood remaining.

　And this was all done in a single instant!

　"The pig needs to be bled during the slaughtering process, which normally takes at least half an hour, during which someone needs to hold the pig down tightly."

　Because pigs struggle most violently before they die, it takes three to five strong men to exert force simultaneously.

　In the countryside, to slaughter a pig, the whole village has to mobilize, even the children have to hold down the pig's tail so it can't exert any strength.

　The bodyguard who first stepped forward said in shock that he was from the countryside and had seen the old butcher in the village slaughter pigs, which was why he was so shocked.

　Pigs are considered medium to large-sized livestock, and slaughtering them is not an easy task.

　They arrived fully prepared to fight the pigs, and Senzaemon Nakiri was also there, rubbing his hands together, ready to go all out.

　Who would have thought it would be resolved so quickly!

　"Alright, these are all basic operations that anyone who has slaughtered pigs for a few years can do. There's no need to make such a fuss."

　Now, both sides, come up and choose your ingredients. This local pork is of good quality; I hope you can prepare a dish that matches its quality.

　Seeing the astonished expressions of the people in front of him, Bai Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and his heart was not stirred at all. Instead, he found it rather noisy.

　"You call this basic operation?!"

　Everyone present was shouting in their hearts.

　But no one spoke.

　Behind the crowd, Nakiri Kaede, Nakiri Nagi, and Nakiri Ranye, who were participating in the food battle, stepped forward after hearing his words, their feelings complicated as they looked at everything before them.

　They actually mocked such a top chef?!

　Fortunately, the patriarch appeared in time and prevented them from continuing their conversation. Bai Yuan also didn't hold a grudge against these juniors, otherwise it might have led to a major disaster.

　After fully realizing what had happened, the three of them, including Nakiri Kaede, exchanged glances, all seeing the lingering fear and a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

　He suddenly realized that their great-grandfather seemed pretty good too.

　"We only want these few pieces."

　Looking at the pork belly on the pigskin, the group exchanged glances, then selected most of the pork belly, leaving only a small portion.

　This is the best meat from the local pig.

　The fat and lean meat are distributed perfectly evenly, and if you bring your face close, you can smell an extremely pure meaty aroma that makes you reluctant to leave.

　"Alice, do you have any ideas? I just thought of a few dishes. Why don't you listen to them and then choose one to make a decision?"

　Looking at Alice, who was rubbing her chin in thought and seemed troubled by the exam questions, Erina Nakiri frowned slightly and asked.

　She did have a few dishes in mind, but since this was a joint food battle, she had to ask for the other party's opinion and get their approval before finalizing the cooking.

　Due to the difference in strength, this joint food battle will be led by Alice, with her playing a supporting role.

　She can offer many suggestions, but it is up to Alice Nakiri to decide on the final dish to be cooked.

　"Grandpa, do you raise eels at home?"

　Ignoring Erina Nakiri and pacing back and forth, Alice Nakiri suddenly looked up at Senzaemon Nakiri beside her and asked him a question.

　"Yes, if you need it, I can deliver it to your kitchen within 20 minutes."

　Senzaemon Nakiri nodded, then instructed his attendants to go to the manor and retrieve a few plump eels from the eel farming pond.

　"That's good. In that case, I've made my decision!"

　Hearing her grandfather's words, Alice Nakiri's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to the cleaned pig and picked up its large intestine.

　"This is..."

　"Pig intestines?!"

　"What are you doing? Get away from me, the smell is awful!"

　Seeing Alice Nakiri pick up the pig intestines without regard for the mess, the people gathered around immediately dispersed, their faces all showing disgust.

　Especially Erina Nakiri, who pinched her nose and took several steps back.

　But because Alice Nakiri was her teammate, she couldn't stay too far away from her and could only stand not far away with a furrowed brow.

　"What, you don't even like large intestine?"

　Don't let its pungent smell fool you, it tastes amazing! You know stinky tofu? It's the same thing!

　Looking at the reactions of those around her, and at Erina Nakiri's slightly disgusted expression, Alice Nakiri shrugged and pouted as she complained.

　She couldn't accept pig intestines at first, but Bai Yuan's superb cooking skills won over her taste buds, making her fall in love with the flavor!

　"Do you know that this is stuffed on a pig?"

　... "

　Worried that Alice Nakiri didn't know, Erina Nakiri hurriedly tried to explain, but her voice stopped abruptly halfway through, and she became hesitant and stammering.

　She glanced at Bai Yuan out of the corner of her eye, clearly unwilling to utter that word in front of him.

　However, since she had already said that, Alice Nakiri naturally understood what she was going to say, and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

　"Alright, alright, if you don't eat it, others will. Don't say things that disgust me, okay? When I cook the food and put it in front of you, don't be the one eating it the most happily than anyone else!"

　Thinking about what might happen later, Alice Nakiri snorted, then looked at Senzaemon Nakiri, strode up to him, asked him for a few more ingredients, and finally came to Shiro.

　"Now that things have come to this, Master, you should be able to guess what I'm going to do, right? This time, let me win using Master's flavor!"

　Thinking of the dishes she ate in her youth, their exquisitely rich flavors, Alice Nakiri spoke with confidence.

　"I'll be looking forward to it. Now that we've chosen the ingredients, let's go back to the kitchen and start cooking."

　Upon hearing that Alice Nakiri needed eel and picked up pig intestines, Bai Yuan instantly guessed what dish she was going to make: Dragon Through Tiger's Belly.

　That was an innovative dish, one he came up with during a competition in the world of culinary disasters. It mainly used pig intestines and eel for cooking.

　"The specific treatment method is to soak the cleaned pig intestines in a juice made from white wine, Sichuan peppercorns, black pepper, scallions, ginger, and water."

　It can effectively remove fishy smells, deodorize, and enhance aroma. After marinating, put it in the refrigerator for chilling.

　And then..."

　Pulling Erina Nakiri to her side, Alice Nakiri launched into a long, animated speech, her eyes brimming with pride.

　"The dishes developed by Master Shirabuchi..."

　Thinking about what Alice Nakiri had just expressed, Erina Nakiri listened very attentively, nodding from time to time, almost as if she was about to take out her notebook to write it down.

　"These two guys seem to have found a dish that suits the theme of this food battle, but no matter what, we will be the winners this time!"

　Watching the brisk steps of Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri, Kaede Nakiri and the others, who were a few steps behind, began to discuss in hushed tones, their faces also filled with confidence.

　They also have reason to be confident.

　After all, they are the top ten of their generation. Each of them has the skills of a first-class chef. When they work together to make a dish, they can reach the level of a special chef!

　Fighting with all your might is the greatest respect you can show to your opponent.

　Although they wanted to apologize to Bai Yuan for offending him, they were not prepared to go easy on him during the food battle, as that might only make him angrier.

　After all, this is, to some extent, an insult to the opponent.

　·

　·

　Soon, the group arrived at the kitchen.

　The ingredients needed by Alice Nakiri and Kaede Nakiri were also delivered to their respective cooking stations by servants under Senzaemon Nakiri's arrangement.

　"Erina, do you remember everything I said before?"

　Watching Erina Nakiri poised to cook at the counter, Alice Nakiri asked softly. This dish was very important to her; she didn't want to fail.

　"Don't worry, I've memorized it all, there's no way I'll forget it!"

　Knowing that this dish was developed by Hakugen, Erina Nakiri was especially excited and prepared the dish at her best.

　"That's good. Let's start cooking as I just said!"

　Alice Nakiri nodded, a serious expression on her face. She then turned on the tap, lifted the large intestine and threw it in, beginning to clean the pig intestine.

　On the other side, Erina Nakiri took the Jinhua ham, pork belly, and soaked shiitake mushrooms that had just been delivered, shredded them, and seasoned them to make filling.

　During this process, Alice Nakiri used a special technique to thoroughly clean the large intestine. She then soaked the cleaned pig intestine in a juice made from white wine, Sichuan peppercorns, black pepper, and scallion and ginger water before refrigerating it.

　After about ten minutes, feeling that the extraneous smell had been removed, Alice Nakiri took the processed pig intestines out of the refrigerator.

　Place the live eel on the cutting board

　Cut the eel into pieces, remove the backbone, remove the large bones, chop off the dorsal fin, and score the surface of the meat.

　Alice Nakiri moves with efficiency and has a cold gaze, as if she's been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years.

　The prepared fish skin is laid out with the inside facing inwards. The filling prepared by Erina Nakiri is aligned with the corners and then stuffed into the pig intestines. The ends are tied with straw ropes to secure them, and then the intestines are braised in a secret braising broth.

　After braising, hang it up to air dry, which normally takes overnight.

　But Alice Nakiri took out a powerful fan that could speed up the drying process, and with the fan blowing at full speed, she could reach the state she needed in an hour.

　The convenience of modern technology is reflected in this.

　"What's the name of the dish Alice made? Young friend Bai Yuan, do you know?"

　On the judges' panel, Senzaemon Nakiri turned his head curiously to ask, as this was the first time he had ever seen such a combination of eel and pig intestines!

　One is pig intestines, and the other is eel. These two things seem unrelated, yet they have been cleverly combined.

　Such an amazing idea is unlikely to have come up with by Alice Nakiri; she must have had a mastermind behind her.

　And this expert is none other than Bai Yuan, who is standing right in front of us.

　"Dragon through tiger's belly, using pig intestines as casings and stuffing with filling wrapped in eel skin, can be understood as an alternative sausage."

　Bai Yuan explained to the two elderly men beside him.

　"I see. But compared to the large intestine, the small intestine should be more suitable for making sausage casings. Both the texture and taste are far superior to those made from the large intestine."

　Senju Nakiri looked puzzled; this was indeed beyond his comprehension.

　Logically speaking, sausages, even modified versions, should be made using small intestines, so that the sausage skin is thin and the flavor is good.

　"It's eel. You can't put the eel skin in the small intestine, at least not for Alice and the others, so we chose the wider and longer large intestine."

　Before Bai Yuan could speak, Nakiri Senzaemon offered his explanation.

　As a six-star chef, his vision is naturally much higher than that of Sen'e no Nakiri.

　There were only eight people left in the kitchen at that moment.

　There are three judges and five food battle contestants.
