Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Bai Yuan looked at Nakiri Erina; there was no need for him to explain such a trivial matter personally.

　"Come with me."

　Although it's unclear why the topic suddenly shifted from endorsement fees to recruiting new members, Erina Nakiri still managed to react quickly enough.

　He then smiled and gestured for the two people in front of him to proceed.

　Chihiro Natsume and Chihiro Orie felt ashamed for eating like wild animals and couldn't bear to stay there, so they ran away from the kitchen.

　"Brother Bai Yuan, do you like sisters?"

　Blinking her adorable big eyes, Alice Nakiri suddenly appeared and made a startling statement in front of everyone.

　"Not liking or disliking it is normal."

　"Okay, what a pity."

　Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Nakiri Alice said with some regret.

　If the other party prefers sisters together, then when Erina Nakiri joins the family, both of their statuses will rise significantly.

　There was no way around it; Bai Yuan was just too outstanding. Even if she was unwilling, she couldn't monopolize him, as that would be unfair to the other girls.

　"What's there to be disappointed about? Hurry up and get to work. By the way, whose turn is it to compete tomorrow?"

　Seeing Alice Nakiri's dejected look, Bai Yuan reached out and patted her head before looking at the others.

　"It seems like Hisako's competition is tomorrow. I just saw her go to the Summer Selection Agency. If nothing unexpected happens, she's probably there to get the test questions."

　The crowd fell silent at first, then Tadokoro Megumi's gentle voice came over and told Bai Yuan about the situation.

　"Who is the opponent? And what is the theme?"

　Bai Yuan asked with a hint of curiosity, "Hisako Shinto is considered one of the stronger ones among them. As long as she doesn't encounter a particularly powerful opponent, she should be able to win."

　"Our opponent is Hayama Akira, who finished third in Group A. The theme is 'deer,' which seems like a tough opponent. Tomorrow's match looks like it will be very interesting."

　Hojo Miyoko replied that she had chatted with Shinoto Hisako while they were in the kitchen and had also tasted her cooking, so she knew what the theme was.

　"A 'deer'? No wonder you let me taste that earlier. I accidentally gave you some feedback. Since it's a competition, she should be allowed to discover it herself."

　Bai Yuan felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that Hisako Shinto had become a little dependent on him, which was not good. He had to have a serious talk with her about it later.

　If she doesn't change her ways, don't blame him for taking off her skirt and spanking her in front of everyone!

　"Alright, stop standing there like idiots. Although it's not your match now, it might be your turn next time. Hurry up and go prepare the food."

　With many thoughts swirling in his mind, Bai Yuan maintained a calm and indifferent expression. He waved to the women to prepare the food and then went to the living room.

　"Leader, we are willing to join the Dark Cuisine World!"

　As soon as he entered the living room, a woman's clear voice reached his ears. Looking up, he saw that the speaker was Chihiro Natsume.

　At that moment, she was looking at him intently.

　"Have you thought it through? Once you join, there's no going back. This is a lifelong contract. If you quit halfway, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your lives."

　Bai Yuan looked at the two people in front of him with a hint of amusement. It was better to say some things in advance to avoid any misunderstandings later.

　"We carefully weighed the pros and cons and found that joining the world of 'dark cuisine' would only bring us benefits and no harm, so we are willing to join!"

　Chihiro Natsume said earnestly that, after Nakiri Erina's introduction, they fully understood what kind of organization the Dark Cuisine World was, and also understood that joining the Dark Cuisine World was to find a backer for themselves, rather than handing over all their possessions.

　Given that, they had no reason to refuse. Moreover, Bai Yuan had offered them conditions that were impossible to refuse.

　"Chief, please accept us."

　Finish this sentence.

　Chihiro Natsume and Chihiro Orie stood up almost simultaneously, knelt down in front of Shirai, and lowered their heads in a gesture of submission.

　This is for tasting coffee.

　Aftereffects of eating fish balls with jelly.

　At this moment, their heroic spirit remained undiminished. They regarded Bai Yuan as their lord, and they were brave and skilled female generals who would only submit to him in this life.

　"You guys are making it sound pretty formal."

　Looking down, he saw a sea of ​​white. The two women were dressed very provocatively today in an attempt to please him, which at least made him feel quite excited.

　"Alright, I agree. Get up. I'll have someone come over tonight to coordinate with you. All you need to do is cooperate."

　As for becoming your company's spokesperson, I'll make time to go after the Summer Selection is over.

　Bai Yuan patted the two sisters on the shoulder, smiled and helped them up. With their addition, the world of dark cuisine will definitely get better and better!

　Chapter 184 Hisako Shinto VS Akira Hayama, A Fated Showdown

　"Venus meat has coarse fibers, a strong gamey smell, and a relatively unique meat structure. Currently, spices can perfectly remove the gamey smell."

　However, Professor Bai Yuan said that I put in too many spices, which affected the overall flavor sequence, and now I need to reduce the amount.

　In other words, it is necessary to reduce the amount of spices while ensuring a distinct flavor sequence.

　The texture of the meat requires some effort in cooking. You can try using honey to soften it; adding a little honey when stewing venison can soften the meat.

　Or baking soda, which can also break down the fibers in meat, making it more tender...

　As night fell, Hisako Shinto's face was filled with seriousness as she looked at the neatly arranged venison on the cutting board, a resolute expression on her face.

　Since we don't know which cooking method is better, let's try them all!

　"Chestnut meat, hind leg meat, tenderloin..."

　With three pots on the stove at the same time, Hisako Shinoto took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, and decided to cook three dishes simultaneously to increase efficiency.

　After all, she only had one day to prepare, and she had to find the best venison dish for her to cook within that time!

　Ye Shanliang, who ranked among the top five in last year's midterm exams, has only become stronger after a year of honing his skills.

　Although the two rounds of the selection competition ended in a tie, seemingly evenly matched, the opponent possessed the God's Nose, which was on par with Erina-sama, as a source of strength.

　"No, once I start thinking about this and that, and considering the possibility of failure, I get afraid. If I continue like this, I definitely won't be able to beat him!"

　Various thoughts flooded her mind. Hisako Shinoto scratched her hair in distress, and it took her a while to come back to her senses and stop thinking about those random things.

　Her teacher is Bai Yuan. After studying under him for so many years, her strength has undergone tremendous changes.

　If she still can't deal with a mere Ye Shanliang, then she truly has failed Bai Yuan's teachings.

　In short, give it your all!

　the other side.

　Shiomi Research Institute.

　"Xiao Liang, it's getting late, it's time to go to sleep."

　Under the dim light, a tall man was cooking in the kitchen, his mind highly focused, his large eyes filled with seriousness.

　Behind him stood a petite girl, dressed in pajamas, her face full of worry, wanting him to finish cooking and go back to rest.

　"I'll be done soon. Tomorrow's opponent is very strong. Run, you should go back to sleep. You must be exhausted by now."

　"I can stay here and keep you company..."

　Looking at the sleepy-eyed Shiomi Jun in front of him, Hayama Ryo put down what he was holding, and before she could finish speaking, he picked her up in a princess carry and put her on the bed in the room.

　"What are you doing! I'm the adult, okay? Don't hug me like a child!"

　Faced with Hayama Ryo's thoughtfulness, Shiomi Jun was first taken aback, then blushed and pounded his chest, saying in an awkward tone.

　"I know I don't treat you like a child, but it's getting late, you should go to sleep."

　He placed Shiomi Jun on the bed, carefully covered him with the blanket, and turned off the room lights. Hayama Ryo then went out and returned to the kitchen counter.

　"That guy who pretends to be an adult, even though he was so dependent on me when he was little, humph."

　Shiomi Jun let out a soft hum, pulling the blanket down a little because of the heat. A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

　On the other side, Hayama Akira refocused his attention on the kitchen counter.

　Looking at the fresh venison on the cutting board, and a series of spices next to it, I began a new experiment.

　Since returning from the Summer Selection Agency, he has been studying for several hours, making many dishes in the process, but none of them have satisfied him.

　"This heat and temperature can bring out the aroma of the spices to the maximum extent, while removing the gamey smell of the venison."

　"If we're going to do it, let's do it cleanly and purely, creating a dish that brings out all the deliciousness of the venison, using spices!"

　A large amount of spice powder fell from Hayama Akira's hand and appeared on the steak. He then scraped and rubbed it on with his other hand, giving it a simple marinating treatment.

　The next moment, the marinated chops appeared on the striped wire mesh, making an enticing sizzling sound as they touched it.

　"Sealing the edges on all six sides before baking ensures that the moisture is retained to the greatest extent possible, thus maintaining its tender texture."

　Looking at the venison under the flames, Hayama Akira waited silently.

　When the time was right, and all six sides turned a deep brown, the spices were sprinkled on a second time, along with some lemon juice to soften the venison.

　In addition, there is deer oil, because deer meat is relatively lean and has very little fat, so it needs to be brushed with oil constantly during the roasting process.

　However, Akira Hayama felt that brushing on oils from other animals and plants would affect the flavor, so he used the small amount of fat from the deer to render deer fat to make this deer steak.

　"The final spice."

　Using a fork, Hayama Akira lifted the venison high, and in the next moment, countless spice fragments fell onto the venison.

　Hayama Akira didn't plan to continue grilling, so he placed the grilled meat on the cutting board with a fork to cool naturally.

　Because the cooking temperatures are similar, the last layer of spices melts in the residual heat of the dish, creating an elegant and more complex aroma.

　"Great, but it's missing something..."

　Taking a bite from the edge, savoring the flavor, Hayama Akira closed his eyes.

　"Why not try minced garlic? Garlic and meat have been the perfect pairing since ancient times."

　He shook his head. Although the venison steak in front of him tasted good, it wasn't enough to defeat Hisako Shinoto. Hisako was personally trained by Shirabuchi, so she couldn't possibly be weak.

　"Then comes the seasoning..."

　Inside the kitchen, the boy was sweating profusely as he made a new attempt at cooking the venison steak in front of him.

　Time passed slowly, and after cooking what seemed like the 10th piece of venison, Hayama Akira stopped cooking, a rare look of satisfaction on his face.

　"What a wonderful taste, Hisako Shinomiya! Tomorrow, I will personally crush your progress!"

　The kitchen lights went out, and Hayama Akira left the kitchen. This dish was absolutely perfect; it combined everything he had learned, and they would win!

　·

　The next day, under the moon.

　The atmosphere was just as enthusiastic and exciting as it had been the previous two days, but there were far fewer spectators than before.

　After all, these people aren't just idle bums with nothing to do; once the initial novelty wears off, only a minority choose to stay.

　Only during the final semi-finals and finals will the seats at the Moon and Sky Stadium be filled, which is also the time when the atmosphere is at its best.

　Whether it's the chefs competing on stage or the audience, everyone will feel their blood boiling!

　now.

　Hisako Shinoto and Akira Hayama stood on either side, completely absorbed in preparing the dish. In front of them were a wok and a grill, respectively.

　The intensely fragrant aroma emanated from the two people's cooking station, spreading in all directions and making people swallow hard, eagerly anticipating the meal.

　Bai Yuan's gaze was calmly fixed on Shinoto Hisako. She was using a wok this time, so she was probably preparing a stir-fry dish.

　She cut the deer's hind leg meat into small pieces.

　Next, prepare cinnamon, angelica root, star anise, ginger slices, and scallion whites.

　Add a small amount of water to a pot, put the venison in the cold water, and add white wine to remove the fishy smell.

　As the water in the pot boiled, a lot of white foam appeared on the venison. This was blood and impurities from the venison, which had to be completely skimmed off.

　The blanching process should be done in a separate pot.

　Boil venison fat in plain water without adding a drop of extra oil. Slowly boil the water in the pot over medium-low heat until it evaporates, allowing the venison fat to replace the water and thus ensuring the pure and mellow flavor of the venison fat.

　"They actually thought of using venison fat to render oil, planning to use it to cook venison...?"

　The elderly man in the pinkish-brown clothes murmured softly, a look of surprise on his face.
