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!”

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.
