This family banquet had specially hired chefs.
For example, Gin Dojima was currently in the kitchen. Seeing Mana Nakiri come over, he was somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Dojima, don't mind me. I'll just use the kitchen to process some ingredients. You all continue—"
After Mana Nakiri finished speaking, she began to process the ingredients herself. As for Gin Dojima and the others, they still had many things to do, so they didn't pay much attention to Mana.
But soon, their attention was drawn because as Mana used her knife to cut open the fish belly, the golden light of the Golden Salmon Roe attracted everyone's attention.
Though the light of Golden Salmon Roe couldn't compare to ingredients like Jewel Meat, it was still very dazzling.
"Truly an ingredient like a work of art. Golden Salmon Roe—that name is too fitting."
Looking at the Golden Salmon Roe before her, Mana Nakiri still felt it was somewhat a pity. She had asked Yuuki before about the specific situation of the ingredients—could these salmon roe hatch into the same ingredient?
The final answer was no; a second batch of Golden Salmon Roe couldn't be obtained. Even if nurtured, the probability remained unchanged.
So, the best way to handle Golden Salmon Roe was to eat it, to taste the deliciousness of this ingredient.
....
Looking at the roe emitting golden light, although full of questions, Gin Dojima had no intention of asking much. This person before him was Mana Nakiri, not Senzaemon Nakiri.
He was very familiar with Senzaemon and could ask these questions. But he didn't have much interaction with Mana.
Mana's status and position were clear, he wouldn't casually ask—
—While Gin Dojima's status and position weren't low, and his Culinary skills were at the First-Class Chef level, no matter which aspect, compared to Mana, he was far behind.
Never mind comparing to Mana; even compared to those First Class officers, there was no comparability.
Obtaining the status of a First-Class Officer wasn't an easy task. Not everyone could display enough talent like Yuuki, making everyone acknowledge his status.
Others wanting to become First Class officers had to mix in WGO for a long time. Not only did their Culinary skills need to reach First Class, but their work ability needed to be very strong, and they needed sufficiently strong interpersonal relationships—
....
Since it was an impromptu dish, Mana Nakiri made these Golden Salmon Roe into sushi rolls.
As for the Striped Salmon, it was made into sashimi.
"As expected of an ingredient called a special ingredient—its quality is even higher than the previous Polar Star series ingredients!"
As Mana Nakiri began to process the Striped Salmon, the quality of this salmon once again greatly surprised her.
Undoubtedly, this was an ingredient a tier higher than the Polar Star series. She now understood why such ingredients couldn't be mass-produced.
Such high-quality ingredients were rarer; wanting to mass-produce them was somewhat wishful thinking.
Even Yuuki himself knew this. Even though he could fish out various drug formulas from The System, it didn't mean he could create even better ingredients in the Food Wars world.
The reason ingredients from the world of Toriko could have such quality was because the Blue Nitro had been continuously cooking the Earth with Gourmet Cells.
Thereby making the Earth incredibly delicious, and the ingredients formed from the emitted deliciousness were more delicious.
Even if IGO had even better formulas, many raw materials didn't exist in this world.
He didn't have Gourmet Cells, let alone use Gourmet Cells to cook the Earth of the Food Wars World.
After all, the time Blue Nitro spent cooking planets was measured in billions of years.
For the Nitro race, the concept of time didn't exist. But for humans, such a length of time was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
....
With surprise, Mana Nakiri completed her dish. She just simply cooked it, without using any complex methods.
After finishing, Mana brought the prepared ingredients to the dining room. Everyone looked at the incredibly enticing salmon meat and the gunkanmaki made with Golden Salmon Roe, all somewhat unable to hold back.
However, they still forcibly suppressed their desire to eat and looked at Yuuki. The ingredients were brought by Yuuki. While this was their family dinner, they still had to give Yuuki face.
"Everyone, don't be polite! Dig in!" Yuuki said with a smile.
He didn't have the habit of putting his hands together in thanks, so he directly told everyone to start eating.
Hearing this, everyone didn't hold back either, picked up their chopsticks, and began to taste the salmon.
Even though the Golden Salmon Roe looked more gorgeous, Yuuki had said that Golden Salmon Roe was much more delicious than Striped Salmon. They saved it for last.
"What a SMOOTH texture! And this Q-bouncy feeling—it's completely incomparable to normal salmon! And this fresh and sweet taste—clearly, the fat content is very rich, yet it doesn't feel greasy at all!"
Everyone praised the Striped Salmon endlessly after taking a bite. They had never eaten such salmon before.
They absolutely couldn't stop now. Watching everyone so eager, Yuuki found it somewhat amusing.
The people here simply couldn't finish all this fish meat.
Keep in mind, a Striped Salmon weighed thirty to forty kilograms. This weight—even after removing the fish bones and internal organs, it was impossible for everyone present to finish it.
Of course, this was without counting Yuuki.
If Yuuki were included, then it would be different. While Yuuki didn't have Gourmet Cells yet, his appetite was completely different from others.
Watching everyone eat a lot of Striped Salmon, Yuuki stopped them.
There was still Golden Salmon Roe gunkanmaki to eat next. If they got stuffed now—they could only watch others eat.
With Yuuki's reminder, everyone finally turned their attention to the Golden Salmon Roe gunkanmaki—
—The Striped Salmon earlier was too delicious, so much so that they had forgotten there was still Golden Salmon Roe.
"The Striped Salmon was already delicious enough. What would the Golden Salmon Roe, which is even more delicious than the Striped Salmon, taste like?"
Looking at the Golden Salmon Roe gunkanmaki before them, everyone was also very expectant—Afterwards, everyone picked up a piece of gunkanmaki and took a bite.
With continuous chewing, the Golden Salmon Roe instantly burst in their mouths. In an instant, the deliciousness exploded in their oral cavities like countless small bombs.
This was an ingredient with a Capture Level of 2...
Keep in mind, even the Striped Salmon hadn't reached Level 1.
Although Capture Level was assessed based on a series of comprehensive factors such as difficulty of capture, rarity, etc., taste was one of the key points.
The deliciousness of Golden Salmon Roe was naturally above that of Striped Salmon, even if the two weren't the same type of ingredient.
"An unbelievable savory and fresh taste! The moment the roe burst, this deliciousness reached its peak, completely immersing people in it."
Everyone was captivated by the deliciousness of the Golden Salmon Roe.
"The only regret is that the other ingredients in the gunkanmaki are too far apart in quality from the Golden Salmon Roe. So much so that these ingredients not only didn't play a supporting role but actually dragged it down." Mana Nakiri frowned.
She found that the other ingredients in the gunkanmaki didn't match the Golden Salmon Roe at all.
This wasn't a mismatch in type, but purely a disparity in quality—
—Originally, combining multiple ingredients in a dish was to allow flavors to fuse, thereby making the dish taste better.
But now, the other ingredients became a burden. Eating the Golden Salmon Roe alone would taste better than the gunkanmaki.
Sure enough, after Mana Nakiri finished speaking, the others discarded the gunkanmaki and ate the roe on top separately.
This was the power of Golden Salmon Roe!
While ingredients of this level weren't much in the world of Toriko, in the world of Food Wars, where those ingredients didn't exist, Golden Salmon Roe was completely in a league of its own.
....
Soon, everyone finished off the Golden Salmon Roe.
There was still quite a bit left. After all, one portion of Golden Salmon Roe was about five kilograms.
Mana Nakiri couldn't use all of this quantity—quite a bit was left and placed in the kitchen.
She wasn't worried about anyone secretly eating the Golden Salmon Roe. If these guys want to secretly eat it, then they wouldn't need to mix in the culinary world anymore.
....
Just like that, a group of people ate Striped Salmon meat until they were stuffed. Yuuki could imagine these guys were in for some suffering tonight.
And Gin Dojima and the others were even more speechless. Because by the time their dishes were served, only Yuuki among those present could still eat—everyone else's stomachs had no room left at all.
Yuuki, however, welcomed all comers. While the dishes Dojima and the others made weren't as good as his, he wouldn't disdain others' cooking.
On the contrary, many of these dishes were ones he hadn't encountered before. The dishes Dojima and the others made were quite good. And many of these dishes used Polar Star Chicken and Polar Star Duck.
Mana Nakiri was here, so they needed to accommodate her, they couldn't use other ingredients—otherwise, she would just spit it out after one bite.
....
While Yuuki was here tasting delicacies, the others were helpless.
They were already stuffed—now even drinking water was difficult. So, even though watching Yuuki eat heartily whetted their appetites again... they still couldn't eat anymore.
Ultimately, this entire table of dishes was swept clean by Yuuki.
"What a HUGE appetite—and his stomach doesn't even look that bloated. Where on earth did all that food go?!"
Watching Yuuki eat so many dishes, everyone was very surprised. Looking at his barely bulging stomach, everyone was even more perplexed.
This was Yuuki's uniqueness.
While he didn't have Gourmet Cells, Food Honor allowed him to easily control his body to break down ingredients and absorb nutrients—
—That's why Yuuki's appetite was so astonishing. And after eating, there wasn't much noticeable change.
Keep in mind, if it were anyone else eating like him—never mind this whole table of dishes, even just a small half—their stomachs would probably look like they were six months pregnant by now.
After eating, everyone chatted for a while.
It was mostly the Nakiri family chatting about family matters. Yuuki and Asahi Nakiri couldn't really interject in this, so the two chatted on the side.
After the banquet ended, Yuuki and Asahi returned to Polar Star.
As for Alice Nakiri and Erina Nakiri, their relatives were all here—they stayed here for a few days to accompany their family.
