Chapter 154 - Chapter 154 - 154: Chef Jin (2/2)

Chef Jin snorted coldly, gesturing to the manager beside him and headed straight for the kitchen.

Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan covered their mouths, snickering the whole time.

“Honey, this chef’s mind is a bit too simple, he actually fell for such an obvious taunt!”

Chen Yu smiled, said nothing more, and simply put the lamb that the waiter had just brought over into the pot.

It had to be said that the secret base of this pot was truly exceptional.

Several spices, because of their combination, had created different flavors, so just by smelling, it was impossible to discern them.

Chen Yu also tasted several mouthfuls before he deduced all the seasonings and their order of addition in this pot base.

As he savored the pot’s base, an unusual fragrance suddenly wafted over from the side; soon after, Chef Jin wheeled over a cart and placed a plate of golden, crispy pastries on it.

“The Jin family’s ancestral secret dish, ‘Five Dragons Ascending the Golden Hall!'”

Chef Jin spoke with a face full of haughtiness, vaguely resembling a true chef.

The surrounding crowd had already gathered close by, and the smell wafting from the dish made many unconsciously drool.

“I was fortunate enough to try this dish a few days ago, and its taste lingers with me to this day.”

“I’ve also had the pleasure once, truly a delicacy of this world, but it’s so expensive, over eight hundred yuan a portion.”

“With a delicacy like this, what you’re paying for is the taste, over eight hundred a portion is already quite cheap.”

…

While everyone was discussing, Chen Yu shook his head and set down his chopsticks.

“Carp, crucian carp, yellow croaker, Wenchang fish, mixed together with the neutral taste of catfish, coupled with starches extracted from potatoes, sweet potatoes, and taro, then made tender and smooth with chicken, duck, and goose eggs!”

At this point, everyone looked at Chen Yu with disbelief.

He hadn’t even touched his chopsticks and had merely taken a sniff, yet he could list the ingredients used.

Chef Jin stood there, his face completely blank.

“Have you eaten this dish before?”

Chen Yu shook his head, “I have never eaten it, nor do I wish to. To me, this is just a hodgepodge of a bunch of things thrown together!”

Chef Jin’s face instantly turned beet red with rage as he stepped forward.

If it weren’t for the fear of the strength Chen Yu had previously demonstrated, he would probably have flipped the table.

“How dare you insult our family’s ancestral secret dish?”

Chen Yu chuckled lightly, “A secret dish? The so-called secret is to create a unique flavor that is both unforgettable and indiscernible to others in terms of its specific components, but your dish does not meet the standard of ‘secret’. Do you want me to list out the exact recipe of the sauce you used as well?”

Chef Jin became panicked; he subconsciously glanced at the people standing around.

If the recipe were revealed and everyone could make it, he would be worthless.

He might even be fired by Tianfu Alley instantly.

“Who on earth are you?”

Before Chen Yu could respond, Tuan Tuan stood up.

“My dad is also a chef, and I don’t know how much higher his culinary skills are than yours!”

Upon hearing this, Chef Jin’s eyes bulged, and he took several steps back, looking at Chen Yu with a mix of fear and awe.
