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

Although they are all basic things, it is just a special-level assessment. If you have a solid foundation, you can pass it smoothly. There is no need to take it too seriously. “

As a man who can easily make glowing dishes, Bai Yuan naturally would not take the so-called special assessment too seriously. After figuring out the rules, he can do whatever he wants.

For example, with the dish he made today, he planned to give the judges a different surprise by cooking with leftovers from the cow.

Otherwise, it would be too boring if everyone just chooses high-quality beef for cooking!

Carrying large and small bags of things, Bai Yuan walked quickly towards the fighting arena.

Soon, he returned to the place where the test questions were posted before, and then he found that everyone who had bought the ingredients was waiting outside, and the door of the fighting venue was still not open…

“What happened? Why is everyone outside?”

In the corner of the crowd, Bai Yuan saw two familiar figures, Kikuchi Enka and Kadozaki Taki. He didn’t know what they bought, but they were faster than him.

“It’s you. The butcher will be here in at least ten minutes because of the traffic jam. Now you can only wait here.”

Seeing that the person asking the question was Shirafuchi, Kadozaki Taki shrugged and told him what he had learned.

“So everyone is stopping here? With so many chefs, isn’t there anyone who knows how to kill a cow?”

Bai Yuan was a little confused. With so many top chefs, it was impossible that there wasn’t even one who knew how to butcher a cow? Or was it that modern chefs could only cook pre-processed meat?

You know, in the days of “Cooking Master Boy”, any chef who was slightly skilled could butcher a beef with just one or two knives.

Among them, the dark cuisine world has a unique skill called “Bull Blue Dragon Slash”, which can dismember a living giant bull in just one or two seconds!

“It seems that there are people who can kill a cow, but the organizers have put forward a requirement, which is that they must have extremely high proficiency and cannot destroy the cow.

Otherwise, they will be disqualified from the competition. Even if they succeed in butchering the beef, they will only have the right to choose the ingredients first. The risk and benefit are not proportional, so no one is willing to do it. “

Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo’s gentle voice sounded. Because she was a girl and studied Western cuisine, it was okay for her to handle beef. Butchering beef was really…

“Everyone wants to win in a safe way and will not take any unknown risks just to show off themselves!”

Kadozaki Taki told the truth of the matter. In this situation, everyone is a competitor. Although the butcher can be one step faster than others, the risk factor is too high.

“What a bunch of cowards! It’s just a matter of butchering a cow! You have to think about this and that! Since no one is willing, let me do it for you.”

After listening to the explanations of Kikuchi Enka and Kadozaki Taki, Bai Yuan curled his lips in disdain and couldn’t help but complain.

If you don’t even have this kind of courage, why do you want to take the exam to become a top chef? Just go home and bake sweet potatoes.

After saying that, he walked towards the giant bull that was leisurely eating grass and raised his hand to touch his head.

“What? Someone actually wants to perform a butchering of a cow?! The risk is too high! If this is not handled properly, you will lose your qualification for the assessment.”

There was silence at the scene as everyone was waiting for the butcher to arrive. Suddenly, someone walked forward and someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Although there are not many people on the scene who have the ability to butcher a cow, there are still a few who can do it. There may be no one who can butcher a cow perfectly.

After all, knowing and being proficient are two completely different concepts!

Human energy is limited. How can one learn to cook and be proficient in butchering a cow at the same time? This is impossible no matter how you think about it. It should be said to be too outrageous!

“With such a small body, it looks like it’s not even half the size of a cow. Don’t let the cow kill you…”

As he was talking, the man suddenly fell silent, curled his lips and said nothing more, obviously thinking of what happened to the last person who spoke ill of Bai Yuan.

Although he was not afraid, the assessment was about to begin and there was no need for him to provoke an enemy.

Bai Yuan was still touching the buffalo’s head, letting it enjoy the last moments of its life. The buffalo seemed to be aware of it and started mooing, but rarely did it resist.

When the fat old man saw someone coming forward, he quickened his pace and walked over from behind, looking at Bai Yuan with curiosity in his eyes.

“Would you like to try butchering a cow?”

The fat old man looked at Bai Yuan, his voice full of inquiry and a hint of seriousness. If someone was not mentally strong, they would usually retreat at this time.

However, when he noticed Bai Yuan’s eyes, he was shocked, because he saw an indomitable momentum in the other’s eyes!

That is a look of absolute confidence!

“Try? Leave it to me.”

Bai Yuan shook his head with a sneer, and at the same time reached behind him and took out the largest “Broken Army Sword” on his back.

The Broken Army Knife is known for its powerful cutting force and is suitable for handling ingredients with tough textures that require strong cutting force.

Bones in meat or hard-shelled seafood are the best choices for it to exert its power!

“Bull Blue Dragon Slash!”

Bai Yuanwu took a deep breath and directed his internal energy into his hands. In order to perform this move, in addition to superb knife skills, internal energy was also very important.

The next moment, the Broken Army Sabre drew a dazzling silver track in the air, and with a whistling sound that tore through the air, it went straight to the giant bull’s neck, instantly making it completely free from pain.

The knife flashed, and Bai Yuan moved as fast as lightning. The broken army knife accurately cut into the skin of the giant bull, and then moved along the muscle texture of the bull with an incredible angle and strength. Each cut was just right, avoiding the hard bones and perfectly separating the muscles and fat.

In less than a second, Bai Yuan put the knife, which was not stained with blood, back into the sheath. At the same time, he took two steps back and looked at him with cold eyes.

“What is this guy doing? Why did he pull out the knife and put it back? Could it be that he felt that dismembering the giant bull with his bare hands was too difficult and wanted to give up?”

“Heh, you were so arrogant just now, acting like you are the best and you are all trash, but it turned out to be a fake, it only looks good but is useless!”

“I thought I could see exquisite…”

Seeing Bai Yuan coming back without doing anything, everyone at the scene immediately shouted.

Because he acted so pretentious just now and ended up doing nothing, he aroused public anger for a while and there were constant boos.

“Wait, look at that giant bull, something seems to be wrong!”

“What’s going on? Why is there a golden light bursting out from the cow’s body?!”

However, the boos only lasted for less than ten seconds. Under the sunlight, every cut line on the giant bull burst out with a strong and dazzling golden light, attracting everyone’s attention!

Then, the cowhide was divided into six pieces and slowly peeled off from the cow’s body. All kinds of meat, internal organs and bones in its body were dismembered and neatly placed in the cowhide.

“How is it possible? It didn’t damage any fibers and the speed was so fast. This is simply not something a human can do!”

Someone raised his hand and kept rubbing his eyes, as if he couldn’t believe that what he saw was real. But no matter how he rubbed, the buffalo in front of him was in a dismembered state, and not a trace of blood was shed!

“Blood? Yes! That’s blood! This must be beef that has been processed beforehand, otherwise how could such a big cow be slaughtered without even a drop of blood being shed!”

Someone seemed to have discovered the key point and pointed at the dismembered cow and shouted, but the fear in his eyes did not subside at all.

“Don’t forget, it was standing there alive just now, eating grass! How could it be pre-processed beef…”

Some people accepted this fact and their expressions were extremely ugly. It seemed that a new strong rival had appeared in this competition!

“Young man, what kind of move is this? You can dismember a giant bull without losing a drop of blood or juice!? It’s amazing!”

The fat old man swallowed his saliva, walked quickly to Bai Yuan, and looked at the beef in front of him in amazement. This was really shocking.

Because all the blood remains in the meat, the color of the beef looks extremely bright, and the muscle tissue in it is still beating, reflecting the sunlight colorfully. This is the freshest state!

There is no doubt that Bai Yuan completed their request perfectly and dismembered the giant bull successfully. However, this move was so outrageous that people could hardly believe whether what they saw was real or a dream!

Kadozaki Taki and Kikuchi Enka were no exception, their mouths opened wide with shock written all over their faces. The person who approached them turned out to be such a master? !

“This move is called Bull Blue Dragon Slash. It can deal with a giant bull extremely quickly. Not losing a drop of blood or juice is the most basic requirement.”

Bai Yuan responded calmly, enjoying the admiring gaze of Mu Jiuchi Engo behind him, and suddenly felt that it felt so good to pretend to be cool!

I have practiced this skill for so long just for this moment!

Of course, you have to be cool and aloof at times like this, otherwise the effect of pretending to be cool will be at least halved.

“What an amazing skill! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that someone could dismember a cow in just one second!

According to what was promised at the beginning, you can take the parts you want first, and the rest will be taken in the order of arrival.”

The fat old man did not hide his praise, but after the initial shock, he regained his composure and did not remain immersed in the shock for a long time like the other contestants.

Bai Yuan looked at his expression and a thoughtful look flashed across his face.

“Then I’ll take these leftover scraps and leave the good beef for them. I hope you don’t waste this beef.”

Looking at the excellent quality beef in front of him, Bai Yuan did not take the best part as everyone expected, but took away all the scraps.

These are the leftover scraps and useless parts of the beef. Logically speaking, they are the worst parts of the cow. Why did Bai Yuan choose them?

After the Bull and Green Dragon Slash just now, everyone at the scene no longer thinks that Bai Yuan is weak. On the contrary, his image in their eyes has become unfathomable, and his every move seems to have other meanings.

“There are so many good cuts of meat, why do you want to take these leftovers? Not only is it difficult to cook, but the texture and taste are not as good as those pieces of premium meat in the middle!”

Kadozaki Taki asked with some confusion. In her opinion, Bai Yuan had many choices, and the scrap was the worst one!

“That’s right. You should reconsider it. It’s not easy to get the right to choose the ingredients first. You can be much ahead in the number of ingredients you use.”

Kikuchi Engo also stepped forward to persuade them, his eyes revealing a little worry, afraid that Bai Yuan would be confused and really choose these useless scraps.

“I have to correct you on this point. There are no useless ingredients in the world, only useless chefs. Even if it is just leftovers, as a chef I must make it shine and give off heat!”

Hearing the two people’s concerned words, Bai Yuan turned around and spoke seriously.

He never believed that there was a hierarchy of food ingredients; every ingredient had its use, and as long as it was placed in the right place, it could play its greatest role.

“Well said! You are very good!”

Suddenly, a slightly lazy female voice came from not far away. Everyone looked and found that it was the other person who was standing on the city wall just now.

“Ma Mei, a two-star chef, grew up by the sea and is good at tasting all kinds of seafood dishes. I didn’t expect that the examiner this time would be her!”

Someone recognized the identity of the person and couldn’t help but exclaimed, “A two-star chef is already one of the top chefs in all the major restaurants in Guangzhou!”

“So, can I enter the fighting arena now?”

Bai Yuan looked at the plump woman in front of him without any change in expression.

Because this dish takes a long time to cook, he has to go in first to cook it, otherwise if others are too fast, he will really become a clown.

Of course, if you can really make a glowing-level dish, even if the five places are full, the other party will only forcibly add a sixth place.

Otherwise, if someone like him can’t pass, then what value does the Guangzhou Special Chef Assessment have?! No one in the industry will be convinced.

“Please come in.”

Hearing Bai Yuan’s words, Ma Mei turned sideways, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to him. Such politeness surprised everyone at the scene.

But it’s normal if you think about it carefully. A chef who can display such cooking skills must be above the special level.

I just don’t know why this kind of monster would come to participate in this top chef assessment!

I’m speechless!

Looking at Ma Mei who stretched out her hand, Bai Yuan didn’t say much, but just nodded to her.

Then I saw two heavy iron doors being pushed open by the staff, and then he entered the fighting arena carrying a basket full of beef scraps.

The dish he made today does require the use of leftover ingredients. It can be said that only leftover ingredients can bring out the true flavor of this dish!

Passing through two extremely heavy iron doors, Bai Yuan saw one stone cooking table after another in the house, with the most primitive charcoal fire underneath.

“What a familiar feeling!”

Bai Yuan’s fingers lightly touched the stone cooking table, and a nostalgic expression appeared on his face. He had used such a cooking table for several years in the dark cooking world!

At this moment, he was the only one in the kitchen.

No, there are two strong security guards stationed at the door to prevent anyone from causing trouble inside because they can’t cook and breaking the rules of the competition.

“The time limit is until the incense burns out. I believe you will serve us a dish that will satisfy us, little brother.”

The fat old man stayed outside to receive the other contestants, while Ma Mei followed Bai Yuan into the tasting arena, pointed at the huge incense burning in the front of the room, and introduced the rules of the competition.

“Okay, I see.”

Bai Yuan took a look at the giant incense and estimated that it would burn for about eight hours. He then placed all the purchased ingredients on the cooking table.

At this moment, the fire under the cooking table is burning fiercely, and the size of the fire can be controlled by the bellows.

In other words, this not only tests the cooking skills, but also tests the control of the heat.

After all, a bellows is not like an induction cooker, which can control the temperature in the pot relatively accurately, so the chef’s experience becomes particularly important.

Familiar, so familiar!

Feeling everything in front of him, Bai Yuan couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth. He couldn’t help but get excited, and then took out the scraps in the basket.
