Chapter 145 – 145: The Golden Gemstone

“After the friendly exchange just now, I believe both chefs have gained a basic understanding of each other. The next competition will have no specific rules, but what needs to be highlighted is your knife skills,”

the host announced, and the venue immediately boiled with excitement.

For the audience, the knife skills segment is the most thrilling part of any competition, especially when watching Chinese chefs display their knife work.

In previous competitions, all kinds of ingredients had transformed in the hands of Chinese chefs, providing a feast for the eyes.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown, as this competition’s rules clearly favored them.

This was the turf of the Zeus Alliance, and in theory, the organizers couldn’t show partiality towards Chinese chefs.

However, when Chen Yu saw Victor enter the venue, limping with the aid of several security personnel, he seemed to grasp something.

Tong Ya had told Chen Yu the night before that William’s family was the biggest financial backer of the Zeus Alliance.

But in recent years, the Zeus Alliance had been establishing independent companies, trying to shake off William’s family.

This had greatly angered William’s family.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, it looked like the Zeus Alliance had already lost this battle.

Who have they managed to offend now? They actually went and irritated their own ‘sugar daddy’!

“[Congratulations Host on completing one day of business. Today’s net profit is 1,935,600 Yuan, earning 1,935,600 points. Your current total cumulative points are 9,725,580.]”

The sudden notification sound startled Chen Yu.

Checking the time, it was two o’clock in the afternoon locally, which meant it was eight o’clock in the evening back home.

Seeing the rate at which points were accumulating, he would have another ten million points by this time tomorrow.

The competition was intense, with both sides showcasing their special skills.

Most of the Zeus Alliance’s chefs were Western cooks whose cutting skills weren’t that great, but to deal with this challenge, they must have been practicing hard in secret.

Although the knife work of a few was not quite masterful, it could still be considered top-notch.

But to Chen Yu, such knife work was nothing more than a laugh.

They couldn’t even compare to any of the chefs on his side.

Wang Hai quickly sliced a cucumber with a kitchen knife twice, then lifted it.

The entire cucumber stayed connected like a spring, not only were the connections extremely fine, but the slices were also as thin as cicada wings.

Wang Hai mixed the finely cut cucumber with other ingredients and made a simple yet honest cucumber salad.

Chen Yu was not to be outdone. He picked up the fruit next to him and rapidly brandished his kitchen knife, and soon, a lifelike platter of animal-shaped fruit was arranged on the table.

Moreover, Chen Yu also made a dish of Mapo Tofu on the spot.

When all of the dishes from the Chinese chefs were presented, all the judges fixated on the Mapo Tofu.

It wasn’t because it was the only hot dish on the table, but because every piece of tofu in it was identical in size and shape.

The whole platter of Mapo Tofu looked like a perfect piece of art, and almost all the judges were reluctant to spoil it by eating.

The big screen at the venue also focused on Chen Yu’s Mapo Tofu.

“Wow, it’s my first time seeing such a dish, it’s too perfect. These pieces of tofu are just like Lego bricks, as if they were mass-produced,”

“None of them got damaged during the cooking process, what great skill.”
