Chapter 40 (1/2)

“Brother,” Jiang Xue said softly.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to eat the roasted fish? I invited him here,” Jiang Feng said with a gentle smile.

Ning Fei was composed on the surface, but he was astonished deep inside.

Jiang Feng’s sister was really pretty.

He was surprised.

It was as though she had walked out from an ancient painting. She was so pure and innocent, and looked like a flower ready to bloom.

According to Jiang Feng, this girl was being plagued by an illness and might not be able to live long.

Without further consideration, he decided to focus his efforts on cooking the fish.

At this time, Ning Fei noticed a chef in white. He was also quick and observant enough to spot the golden label on his chest.

All professional chefs in China would go for tests to receive their certificates. These certifications were categorized by levels from Basic, Medium, High, Expert, to Advanced Expert.

Fang Hu was a well-known chef from the Culinary Association invited here by Jiang Feng. He was the one in charge of Jiang Feng’s meals and was very responsible.

When he heard that someone would be cooking for Jiang Xue, he had come for two purposes. The first was to inspect him, and the second was to supervise.

In fact, Fang Hu hadn’t believed that an outdoor webcaster would be able to whip up something decent. However, he respected Jiang Feng, and so, he didn’t say anything.

This was especially so when Fang Hu saw that Ning Fei was a young and good-looking man. In his heart, he was feeling slightly contemptuous.

All real chefs should be fat and strong.

This had some truth to it. Firstly, a chef needed strength in both his wrists and arms, and during their job, they would have to train their strength. Chefs also constantly tried and tasted new food, so naturally, they would gain weight.

Therefore, once an experienced chef had taken a look at another chef’s arms and wrist, he would be able to know how good he was.

Another glance at Ning Fei confirmed that he was merely a pretty vase. He was lean and trim and didn’t look strong at all.

Miss Jiang had probably taken a liking to his looks, and that was why she had invited him.

Fang Hu pressed his lips grimly at the thought.

Good-looking men wouldn’t know how to cook, and men who cooked weren’t good-looking.

That was what he believed.

Ning Fei had already begun.

The first thing he did was to wash the fish. Jiang Feng had selected fish of the highest quality, which seemed to be fed with a special diet.

“There you are.” Ning Fei chose a fish in the tank with a satisfied smile. “I didn’t think that you would be able to find a wild Split Belly Fish as it only grows in the icy rivers in the Qinghai plateau. Its flesh is sweet and tender, and a wild Split Belly Fish cost a fortune. Excellent.”

Normal people might not think much when they heard Ning Fei, but Fang Hu had widened his eyes at this.

Ning Fei was right as it was indeed a wild Split Belly Fish. A wild Split Belly Fish was smaller than those reared on a farm. It was also more agile and active, so their flesh was much better.
