Chapter 470 Homemade Recipes

The scene quickly became crowded, and even people from the auction street followed suit.

Qin Mingxue, like a little fan girl, brought a stool over to sit beside, resting her chin in her hands, staring intently at Chen Yu.

Zhou Pinghu might not have been seen for thirty years, but his culinary skills have never fallen behind.

His techniques were so lifelike, probably unmatched by many of the master-level figures today.

Before long, enticing aromas began wafting from his stall.

Only then did Chen Yu start to make his move. His hands were moving more than twice as fast as Zhou Pinghu’s.

The crowd of onlookers could only see the afterimages of his hands.

“Wow, Mr. Chen’s techniques are really magical!”

“Mr. Chen can actually cook too, I always thought he was just an appraiser.”

“Oh my god, a man who can make money and cook is just too perfect.”

…

The crowd of spectators immediately boiled over with excitement, and some even wanted to push forward to see what exactly Chen Yu was doing.

Qin Mingxue’s heart was racing, her pretty face as red as blood.

It wasn’t long before the desserts of the two competitors were finished almost at the same time.

When presented, the rich fragrance instantly filled the entire underground market.

After arranging his plate, Chen Yu walked directly over to Zhou Pinghu holding the dish.

“Old Master Zhou, this is a dessert I have modified based on the one you made originally. Please have a taste and see if I have made any mistakes,” Chen Yu said.

Zhou Pinghu’s eyes widened in surprise; he hadn’t expected Chen Yu to invite him to taste the dessert first after making it.

In culinary competitions, there is an unwritten rule that chefs are not supposed to taste each other’s food.

Especially in Chen Yu’s case, asking one’s own rival to judge their food was a serious breach of etiquette.

If Zhou Pinghu were to harbor any bias, he could simply finish the dessert, declare it unpalatable, and Chen Yu would be at a loss.

Zhou Pinghu took a deep breath, then brought his own dessert over to Chen Yu.

After trying each other’s creations, Zhou Pinghu’s body began to shake violently.

“This is impossible. My recipe was the best in the world. What method did you use? How could you balance the flavors to this extent?” he exclaimed.

Zhou Pinghu never imagined that the unique recipe he had created had so much room for improvement.

Chen Yu smiled slightly and moved a chair over to sit down beside Zhou Pinghu.

“Old Master, if I’m not mistaken, you must have been used as a pawn!” Chen Yu said.

Zhou Pinghu suddenly looked up, “What do you mean?”

Chen Yu took out a top-tier chef’s certificate from his person and laid it on the table.

“The person who invited you here should be Fang Zhanbo. He claimed that this place violated food safety regulations and wanted you to come sort things out,” explained Chen Yu.

Experience tales at Novgo

Zhou Pinghu was taken aback; those were the exact words Fang Zhanbo had said to him in private, and Chen Yu had managed to repeat them word for word.

Moreover, the top-tier chef certificate on the table sent shockwaves through Zhou Pinghu. He had never dreamed that Chen Yu at such a young age could achieve such a feat.

Although he had won the championship at the World Culinary Competition with that dessert, he was just an advanced chef back then and had not reached the top-tier level.

Chen Yu’s achievements truly made him envious.
