Xi Er

シェル

A Dim Sum master from San Sei, also known as "Steel Staff Shell." In his twenties, he is regarded as the youngest Dim Sum Master. He constantly carries a heavy steel staff, serving as both a weapon and a cooking tool. Several yellow stars engraved on the staff's end represent the Super Chefs he has defeated. After losing a cooking battle against Mao, he engraved a black star on the staff. He hopes to one day replace that black star with a yellow one.
Shell is considered a nomad and frequently crosses paths with Mao and his friends during their travels. Since childhood, he has journeyed across China to deepen his culinary knowledge. He maintains a very optimistic outlook on life but often scolds Shirou, harboring a bad impression of him ever since Shirou unknowingly prepared a poor dish for him.
Shell is highly athletic and skilled in mathematics. He later joins Mao and the others in their search for the Legendary Cooking Utensils. His Hokkien name is Ji Long.
