Chapter 144 – 144 Stir-fried Beef with Green Onions

Early in the morning the next day, Chen Yu arrived at the location specified for the competition.

The venue for the competition appeared to be the local sports stadium, which was quite large in scale.

By the time Chen Yu got there, the site was already teeming with people.

There were as many as twenty members of the Zeus Alliance participating in this competition.

However, they looked more like a professional team, among whom a few were well-known chefs, while the rest seemed to be participating as assistants.

Apart from Chen Yu, the Chinese cuisine team that came to face the challenge consisted of only six people.

“Welcome everyone to the challenge competition, I am honored to host this event,” a familiar voice suddenly rang out, causing Chen Yu to frown involuntarily.

Dressed in a formal gown, Fang Yuan held a microphone and slowly appeared on the podium with the help of a lift.

When Chen Yu saw Fang Yuan at William’s family’s castle, he thought she was just an artist invited to perform, not expecting her to be the host for the whole competition in Chinese.

Fang Yuan also paused when she stood on the stage, as she hadn’t expected Chen Yu to be able to take part in a competition of this caliber.

No matter whether Chen Yu won a place in this competition or not, just by standing on the competition floor, he had already gained recognition as a world-class chef.

Fang Yuan could never have dreamed that in less than two months since their divorce, Chen Yu had grown to such an extent.

When she was with him, Chen Yu wasn’t this impressive! How did he suddenly become a world-class figure?

After all, Fang Yuan was an actress, and her mental fortitude was significantly stronger than that of the average person.

She immediately adjusted her emotions, “The rules for the first day of the competition are relatively simple. It’s a friendly match between the two sides, where each team specifies the ingredients and seasonings that the opposing chefs must use, but please note, this does not include kitchenware!”

Put simply, the first match was about tripping up the other side, taking away the ingredients they were adept with, and providing those they weren’t skilled in handling.

The chefs from Zeus Alliance were quite shrewd; they seemed to have known the rules well in advance.

Before the host Devon could even finish explaining the rules, they had already come over to select their choices.

The six Chinese cuisine chefs competing alongside Chen Yu were not to be outdone and quickly turned the opposing chefs’ selections into chaos.

In the end, the teams practically swapped ingredients with each other.

“Alright, it looks like the chefs from both sides have made their choices, so please present your dishes within the allotted time. The countdown starts now.”

The seven Chinese cuisine chefs, including Chen Yu, looked at the large pieces of beef in front of them and couldn’t help but feel troubled.

Besides these pieces of beef and some onions, ginger, and garlic, they hardly had any proper ingredients left, not even the cooking oil for stir-frying had been taken.

To be honest, the chefs from the Zeus Alliance had been rather excessive.

They glanced at the Chinese team disdainfully and then eagerly set about cooking.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, “Master Wang Hai, can you extract some oil from that pile of sesame seeds?”

The older Master Wang Hai immediately nodded and made a simple oil press tool on the spot.

“Who can help me prepare the onions, ginger, garlic, and other minor ingredients?”

Chen Yu asked, and with a knife in hand, he quickly started slicing the beef.

“I’ll do it!” one chef responded and took out all the remaining onions, ginger, and garlic.

The other four chefs immediately understood Chen Yu’s intention and began cooperating with each other.

By the time Chen Yu finished processing the beef, Master Wang Hai had already extracted the sesame oil.

Chen Yu promptly heated the oil in the wok, stir-fried the onions, ginger, and garlic, and then skillfully added the beef to the pan.
