Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 569: Chapter 543: I Cook Better Than You

Elder Yu snorted coldly and said, ”She is a customer, but that doesn’t mean she can talk nonsense, saying my dishes taste bad, it’s a complete tarnishing of my reputation. She must apologize to me.”

Actually, Elder Yu is usually quite easygoing, but today he was very irritable.

Originally, he had a whim to visit the hotel and make a few dishes himself, but he didn’t expect someone to say they tasted bad.

He has been a chef for so many years, and everyone says his cooking is delicious. It was the first time someone complained that his food was bad, so he lost his temper.

Especially when the server said that just now, all his apprentices were listening, so it was a slap in the face.

Ye Chen understood Elder Yu’s feelings too. After all, for someone like a legend to suddenly be told his culinary skills are bad, especially in front of his apprentices, it was indeed hard to bear.

But Su Wanyi was not wrong either. She merely expressed her true feelings.

The main issue was the server who conveyed Su Wanyi’s words to Elder Yu.

After all, Su Wanyi was his woman. How could he let her be wronged?

Ye Chen said calmly, ”Apologize? My girlfriend just expressed her honest opinion and did nothing wrong, so why should she apologize?”

”Hmph, what did your girlfriend say? That my cooking is not as good as your noodle soup? I don’t believe it. How fancy can your noodle soup be? It’s absurd to say it’s better than my dishes.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”My girlfriend was only telling the truth. Your cooking is indeed quite good, but it’s not on the same level as my noodle soup.”

His words caused a stir at the scene.

Then, a burst of laughter erupted.

Elder Yu also sneered and said, ”Young man, you must be joking. I’ve been cooking for so many years. If my dishes aren’t better than your noodle soup, then all my years as a chef were in vain.”

Just then, another man walked in and said, ”Young man, you’re so arrogant at such a young age. My master’s dishes received unanimous praise at the national banquet from foreign guests. Can your noodle soup compare to my master’s dishes?”

Ye Chen just smiled lightly, ”I don’t care what he has done before. If something is good, it’s good. If it’s not, it’s not. His dishes are indeed not as good as my noodle soup. That’s a fact, and my girlfriend was not wrong, so she doesn’t need to apologize to Master Yu at all.”

Elder Yu was stunned, but suddenly he laughed, ”Alright, young man, since you’re so confident, why not have a cooking competition with me to see how your noodle soup can match my skills.”

The apprentices echoed, ”Yes, whether it’s good or not isn’t decided by you. Show us what you’ve got.”

At this moment, Su Wanyi also regretted it.

Although she really liked Ye Chen’s culinary skills, the other person was a famous chef from Modu. Could Ye Chen compete?

Su Wanyi tugged at Ye Chen and said, ”Ye Chen, let it go, let’s leave. Why compete in cooking with them?”

Ye Chen just smiled, ”Don’t worry, Wanyi. Since they want to see my culinary skills, let them see it.”

Su Wanyi was taken aback, not expecting that Ye Chen actually wanted to compete.

Ye Chen said with a smile, ”Of course, there’s no problem with the competition, but shouldn’t we have some stakes?”

Elder Yu snorted coldly, ”Fine, if you lose, that little girl has to kneel and apologize to me.”

Ye Chen frowned upon hearing that, ”It’s a bet between you and me. There’s no need to involve others. If I lose, I’ll kneel and apologize to you.”

Su Wanyi was anxious upon hearing this.

After all, the trouble was caused by her, and she quickly said, ”Ye Chen, don’t.”

Ye Chen just shook his head, ”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Elder Yu snorted coldly, ”Alright, if you’re willing to stand up for this little girl, I can agree.”

Ye Chen then looked at Elder Yu, ”And if you lose?”

Elder Yu snorted, ”If I lose, I’ll kneel and apologize to you and take you as my master.”

In Elder Yu’s view, the one losing would only be Ye Chen. How could he possibly lose?

Ye Chen just shook his head, ”No need to be my master or kneel. After all, you’re so old. If you lose, just apologize to my friend.”

Elder Yu nodded, ”Alright, but if you do beat me, I’ll take you as my master.”

In Hua Country, there aren’t many whose culinary skills can earn Elder Yu’s respect.

He didn’t believe a young man could have such skills either.

Elder Yu said, ”Alright then, let’s not waste any time. Let’s begin.”

Saying this, he led his apprentices towards the kitchen.

Su Wanyi, however, held onto Ye Chen’s sleeve.

”Ye Chen, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Ye Chen patted Su Wanyi’s little head, ”Silly girl, how is it your fault? And I won’t lose.”

Su Wanyi gritted her teeth, ”If you really lose, I’ll kneel with you.”

Ye Chen said speechlessly, ”You’re that sure I’ll lose?”

Su Wanyi replied, ”Brother, you’re making noodles. Elder Yu was the former president of the Hua Country Culinary Association.”

Ye Chen just smiled, ”In front of me, even if he were the president, he’d still have to bow down.”

Su Wanyi was speechless, not understanding where Ye Chen’s confidence came from.

Soon, the group arrived at the kitchen.

Elder Yu went to a stove and said, ”Young man, what dish are you good at? We can start now.”

Ye Chen just smiled lightly, ”I’m fine with anything. You pick the dish.”

Elder Yu sneered, ”Forget it, I don’t want people saying I’m bullying the young. You pick instead.”

Ye Chen had no choice but to nod, ”In that case, let’s compete with your signature dish, braised carp.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Elder Yu was stunned.

Braised carp was his signature dish. He didn’t expect this guy to use it for the bet.

This was asking for trouble, wasn’t it?

Elder Yu shook his head, ”You should pick another dish. Using this one, it’d be too much bullying.”

Ye Chen just shook his head, ”No need, let’s use your signature dish. That way, when you lose, you’ll be convinced.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Elder Yu sneered, ”You really are too arrogant. Today, I’ll teach you a good lesson.”

The competition began, and the two went to the fish tank to pick fish.

When cooking fish, selecting the ingredients is very important.

So Elder Yu stood in front of the fish tank, hesitating a bit.

Right then, Ye Chen came over, picked up a net, and directly caught a fish.

Elder Yu was stunned.

Because the fish Ye Chen caught was the one he was planning to choose.

But it seemed this guy didn’t even look, like he picked at random.

Was it just good luck, or did this guy have amazing eyesight?

Ye Chen picked up the fish and started to prepare it.

Scaling the fish and removing its innards, Ye Chen’s speed amazed even Elder Yu.

Seeing Ye Chen’s actions, Elder Yu realized that Ye Chen was definitely an expert.

At this moment, he took a deep breath, not daring to be careless, and prepared to compete with Ye Chen head-to-head.
