Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Knife Skills Competition

The chubby man opposite clenched his fist tightly, his eyes squinted slightly, and judging by his demeanor, he would strike the moment Chen Yu disagreed.

"Mr. Chen, I respect you as a person, which is why I came here to compete with you. Moreover, today we have a gathering of distinguished guests, so we might as well let them be our witnesses to see who truly has the superior culinary skills!"

It was unclear whether the guy was doing this on purpose or what, but his voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of most people present.

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown; he really didn't want to stoop to this man's level.

Just at that moment, he suddenly noticed several crew members passing by with a large box.

The box appeared extremely bulky, with at least eight layers of protection inside and out, and this type of long box was the best choice for storing a scepter.

Chen Yu hurriedly got up, intending to go over and take a look, but his wrist was tightly grasped by the chubby man.

"Mr. Chen, it seems you agree, so let's go over there for the challenge—the kitchen over there is the best one in this ship's cabin!" seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chen Yu originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the place the chubby man was pointing to, he immediately agreed.

The long box they had come with was actually placed near the kitchen.

This place already had a stage, and it was also the official spot where the restaurant's crowd gathered.

It looked like they were planning to hold a small auction here.

The chubby man became ecstatic, stuffing a business card into Chen Yu's hand before happily running up to the stage.

"Today I, Gao Shenglu, a world-class chef, challenge Mr. Chen Yu here. If I lose, I will give the culinary knife I once used to win the title of top chef to the other party!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers erupted from the crowd, and all eyes focused on Chen Yu.

The culinary knife mentioned by Gao Shenglu was a legendary item in the Western culinary world, said to be extremely sharp, with an innate chill to it, making it the perfect tool for slicing sashimi.

Chen Yu immediately furrowed his brow, not expecting this guy to drag him into a paid competition.

Letting out a slight breath, Chen Yu searched his person and pulled out a banknote with a billion-dollar denomination, slamming it onto the stage.

"I'm a simple man, and I don't have any particularly impressive kitchen tool on me. If I lose, consider this banknote a gift for meeting you, Mr. Gao!"

The audience instantly boiled with excitement, all staring at Chen Yu with a peculiar look.

Although those assembled here were the world's top tycoons, casually pulling out a billion-dollar banknote wasn't something many could manage.

Setting aside the fact that such large banknotes were seldom issued by banks, even when they were, there would be an extremely strict scrutiny of one's assets.

In this world, anyone who could produce large-denomination banknotes at any time was a sure sign that they came from a super-wealthy family.

Gao Shenglu was also wide-eyed; he hadn't expected Chen Yu to be so domineering.

In comparison, his so-called precious knife seemed somewhat inferior.

Chen Yu carefully observed the position of the box and then had the system scan its structure.

He then looked towards Gao Shenglu.

"Since you're the one who proposed it, you choose the content!"

Gao Shenglu didn't stand on ceremony, immediately taking out his treasured knife.

"In that case, let's test our Knife Skills!"

Chen Yu didn't say anything more, casually glancing at the seafood in the glass tank nearby.

"Let's go with sashimi then!"

No sooner had he spoken than Gao Shenglu took the lead, pulling out two pufferfish from the fish tank.

If you want to test knife skills, fugu is the best choice.

Not only must you remove the poisonous parts of the fugu, but you also have to ensure that perfect taste of the fugu is preserved.

Some chefs will even create unique sauces for the fugu.

Gao Shenglu's action immediately caused dissatisfaction among the onlookers; after all, he was the one who proposed this competition, and he also had a treasured knife specially prepared for slicing raw fish.

The competition seemed unfair to Chen Yu no matter how you looked at it.

But Gao Shenglu didn't care about that, and as soon as he received the fugu, he immediately started to clean it and put his knife to work.

Chen Yu, however, slowly walked over to the fish tank and briskly started spinning the knife in his hand.

Before long, he had a collection of various kinds of fish meat in his hand.

Before the onlookers could react, Chen Yu had already placed the fish meat into the steamer.

"Mr. Chen, have you got it wrong? We're comparing knife work here, why did you put the fish meat into the steamer?"

A middle-aged man in the crowd suddenly asked in confusion, and the others gathered around, looking at Chen Yu with puzzled eyes.

Next door, Gao Shenglu had already finished processing two fugu; all he needed to do was to mix up the sauces, and his dish would be ready to serve.

And up until now, everyone had already witnessed Gao Shenglu's superb knife skills.

Chen Yu didn't say much, just patted his steamer and then comfortably took a seat to the side.

In less than three minutes, before Gao Shenglu had his sauces ready, Chen Yu had already served his dish.

All the onlookers were astounded.

What Chen Yu had put into the pot was clearly a mess of fish meat, but now it had turned into a complete fish, and this fish was decorated with an abundance of carvings. Paired with the side dishes, it looked like a vivid golden dragon!

"My goodness, how on earth did he do that?"

"When Mr. Chen put the fish into the pot just now, it seemed like he deliberately did some assembling actions. It must have been then that he put the dragon together!"

"That was too fast, we didn't even see what happened!"

...

Amidst the crowd's praises, Gao Shenglu also served his slices of raw fish.

The knife in his hands was indeed a treasure, each slice of raw fish was thin as a cicada's wing, and covered with a layer of frost.

That cool and refreshing sensation immediately attracted many to come and watch.

Just then, a sharp cry suddenly rang out from the fish tank area.

"My goodness, come and see, these fish are actually not dead, they're still alive!"

Everyone's gaze was drawn over, and when they looked, they noticed that the fish whose meat had been removed by Chen Yu were actually swimming lively in the tank.

"My goodness, what exactly did Mr. Chen do in that instant!"

"With such exquisite knife work, I'm afraid there aren't many people in the whole world who could match it!"

...

The scene instantly boiled over with excitement, and Gao Shenglu suddenly seemed like a child who had fallen out of favor, becoming completely stunned. Discover hidden tales at m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

His slices of raw fish also appeared quite ordinary.
