Chapter 155 – 155: Five Dragons Leap onto the Golden Hall
Chen Yu slowly rose to his feet.
“I’ve heard of this dish before; it was once a royal tribute dish, but unfortunately the original recipe has been lost! If you ask me, I can restore this dish for you right here.”
The arrogance in his voice completely dispelled Chef Jin’s earlier brashness.
It’s not that Chen Yu really wanted to prove a point, but this guy had gone too far and almost scared Tuan Tuan.
He had to teach this guy a lesson.
Chef Jin’s breathing suddenly quickened, “If you can really restore this dish, I won’t have a problem kowtowing a hundred times.”
Chen Yu rolled up his sleeves, “Do you have a portable kitchen here?”
“Of course!” The manager was also excited.
No matter what happened today, their Tianfu Alley was sure to trend on social media.
After all, scenes of chefs competing like this are hard to come by.
Moreover, many people were already filming videos on the side, which was akin to free publicity for them.
Before long, the portable kitchen was wheeled over, and the ingredients Chen Yu had requested were also brought.
“The five types of fish you used were not the most perfect combination, but they were used because they can be perfectly merged together. The original dish used just five very ordinary types of fish.”
As he spoke, Chen Yu scooped up five live fish from the nearby water tank.
Grass carp, black carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, and common carp!
These five types of fish were as common as could be, no matter where you were.
Chen Yu took the kitchen knife and deftly twirled it, then swiftly drew it across the bodies of the five fish.
The smooth and flowing knife skills dazzled the onlookers and, before long, the five fish were skinned and deboned, their flesh placed in a small basin.
Next, the ingredients Chen Yu chose were all extremely common staples.
After wrapping them into cubes, they were fried at low temperature in oil heated to sixty degrees Celsius.
Soon, the fragrant aroma spread throughout the hall.
Chen Yu finished one piece and brought it directly to Chef Jin.
“Try this, it’s my ‘Five Dragons Ascending to the Palace’.”
Chef Jin’s eyes bulged, the aroma was much richer than what he had created.
He didn’t hesitate and quickly picked up his chopsticks to take a bite.
Delicious, crispy, tender, smooth, chewy—several textures almost exploded in his throat at the same time.
“My God! How did you do this? How could such ordinary ingredients possibly…”
Chen Yu smiled, “In this world, there are no ordinary ingredients, only incompetent chefs.”
With one sentence, Chef Jin’s pride was completely shattered.
He fell to the ground with a thud and kowtowed deeply.
“I hope you can enlighten me on how to prepare this dish. I’m willing to take you as my master! I will kowtow these hundred times to you right now.”
Chen Yu paid no attention to him and simply served a dish of the ‘Five Dragons Ascending to the Palace’ for Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan.
The rest he shared with others.
After the meal, Chen Yu was about to settle the bill but was stopped by the manager, who also handed him a membership card for Tianfu Alley.
As the family of three left, Chef Jin remained on the ground, continually kowtowing.
“Daddy, that uncle looks so pitiful, let’s just stop making him kowtow.”
Chen Yu ruffled Tuan Tuan’s little head, “He scared you just now, so he needs to be punished by kowtowing! Unless you forgive him.”
