"Boss Qin, do you think these dishes are okay?" Ye Chui asked Qin Yue in a calm voice with a faint smile on his face.

Qin Yue hesitated for a moment before replying, sneering: "Mr. Ye, I have never heard of these dishes. Could it be that you wrote them down randomly?"

"Do these dish names look like random scrawl?" Ye Chui said with a gentle smile, "I guarantee that I can make every dish."

"Anyone can say such nice things. This is a banquet for the rich. If the food doesn't taste good, we will be the ones in trouble!" Qin Yue said coldly, but from his expression, it can be seen that he no longer despises Ye Chui as much as before. Although he is a little arrogant, he is the boss of a company after all. He understands the importance of Ye Chui's menu. He turned to look at Wang Jianhua, "Boss Wang, what do you think?"

"Hehe..." Wang Jianhua smiled hurriedly, and then said, "Mr. Ye's dishes seem to be delicious, but in the end we still have to see real skills. Since Boss Qin has prepared a cooking competition today, we should be fair. Why don't we let Boss Qin choose one dish from each category of cold dishes, hot dishes, staple foods, snacks, and desserts and let everyone taste it?"

Ye Chui smiled and said, "Okay, then please ask Boss Qin to choose five dishes from these."

Qin Yue naturally cooperated with Wang Jianhua at this time. He nodded and continued to look at Ye Chui's menu. He was a little confused and felt that Ye Chui's menu might have been written randomly. How could this 17-year-old boy make so many dishes with extraordinary names? After looking for a while, he made up his mind: "For cold dishes, Mr. Ye, you can make this pearl tofu, and for hot dishes, make this spicy boiled fish. For staple food... Hehe, this beef flat noodles seems to be interesting. This is it. For dim sum, I want to try this premium bean yellow. As for dessert, it's this crispy apple."

After selecting these five items, Qin Yue looked at Ye Chui: "Mr. Ye, do you have any questions?"

"No problem." Ye Chui smiled confidently and nodded.

On this side, Wang Jianhua had already prepared a menu. He had just asked the chef of Junlexiang to fill it out and gave it to Qin Yue. Qin Yue selected five items from it, which were: Jade Tofu, Potato Braised Chicken, Fried Bun Slices, Tofu Crisps, and Sweet Potato Soup.

"Please prepare the ingredients for cooking. There is a large supermarket nearby, and you should be able to find anything you need." Qin Yue then said to Ye Chui and Wang Jianhua with a smile, "It's ten o'clock in the morning now. How about we set the completion time at twelve noon?"

"Okay, no problem." Wang Jianhua agreed immediately.

Ye Chui also smiled: "Okay."

This cooking competition began.

First, Ye Chui had to prepare the ingredients.

When walking to the supermarket with Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan and Wang Shiyu, Han Yuyan said to Ye Chui unhappily, "Master, you are so stupid. It turns out that you have been prepared for a long time. Why did you keep saying that you would turn down the job of hosting the banquet?"

Tian Xiaodu also looked at Ye Chui curiously. Ye Chui had filled out the form in one go just now, and he also thought that Ye Chui had already prepared it.

"Who said I was prepared?" Ye Chui smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just thought of the menu now."

As the God of Food, Ye Chu knew and mastered countless dishes, and he had hosted many similar buffet banquets in his previous life. For him, the names of the menus were basically picked up at random, without any effort at all - what's more, if he really had drawn up the menu a long time ago, there would definitely not be the two dishes of beef noodles and bean sprout fried cakes that were seriously unsatisfactory.

Of course, it’s not that these two dishes are not delicious. It’s just that they are too popular - I’ve never seen anyone hold a banquet and ask everyone to have a portion of fried cakes.

It is also worth mentioning that there is no shortage of fried cakes in this world, but beef noodles are a new term. This classic noodle snack with beef as the main seasoning has been cut off from the tradition. And Ye Chui will make a bowl of beef noodles on the spot later - it is actually quite interesting to think about it. In the previous life, Ye Chui saved enough money by selling mutton skewers, and then he opened a beef noodles stall. He is also very knowledgeable about this snack.

Soon, the group arrived at the big supermarket that Qin Yue mentioned. Ye Chui had already listed the ingredients and condiments needed for the five dishes that would be made.

"We need tofu, eggs, grass carp, beef, apples, almonds, pea yellow, jelly powder, as well as chili peppers and various spices... Tian Xiaodu, you go and get the tofu, beef and grass carp. You should know how to choose them. Dayu, you take Xiaoyu to buy apples and eggs, and I'll take care of the rest." Ye Shuli assigned the tasks.

The supermarket was very big, so they immediately separated and acted separately.

The ingredients Ye Chui was looking for included almonds and pea yellow for making the best bean yellow, jelly powder, and most importantly, the ingredients for making beef noodles.

Although beef noodles are a common snack found everywhere on the streets of major cities, the authentic method of making them is definitely not simple. At least twenty kinds of ingredients are needed, including fennel, pepper, noodle sauce, cooked rehmannia, angelica, monk fruit, white angelica, white peony, cinnamon, red pepper, pepper, star anise, cloves, cyperus rotundus, tangerine peel, cassia bark, old ginger, rock sugar, bean paste, green onion, garlic, butter, etc. The order and amount of adding ingredients are also very particular, and only meticulousness can make the most authentic beef noodles.

In his previous life, Ye Chui's beef noodle stall only opened for one year before he saved enough money to open a small restaurant. It was because he was meticulous about the ingredients of his beef noodles that even though his food was several times more expensive than other places, he never lacked customers.

Finding the dry goods shelf in the supermarket and selecting the various ingredients he needed one by one, Ye Chui felt as if he had returned to the time when he worked hard in his previous life, and his mood was quite strange.

But at this moment, Xing Sen's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Are you going to cook or make medicine? Do you need so many ingredients?"

Ye Chui was slightly startled, turned his head and glanced at Xing Sen, and said: "The best flavors need to be carefully selected just like medicinal materials, there are particularities in this... How is the investigation of the Haitian Company going? Are there any problems?"

After Ge Yongming brought up the cruise carnival issue yesterday, Ye Chui asked Xing Sen to check if there were any problems involved. Now it seems that Xing Sen has found out something.

Sure enough, when Xing Sen heard Ye Chui ask this question, he nodded and said, "There are indeed some problems. Haitian Catering and Banquet Hosting Company has recently encountered capital chain problems. It is about to be acquired by a large company. Guess what company it is?"

Ye Chui rolled his eyes: "How should I know?"

"It's Haibo Investment Company." Xing Sen replied.

Ye Chui was stunned. "Yin Feifei is a senior executive of Haibo Investment Company, and she is also ambiguous with Ren Haibo, the boss of Haibo Investment Company. So Haitian Company wants me to be a chef. It must be this Yin Feifei who did it? Is she deliberately trying to trick me into the cruise carnival?"

When "Yin Feifei" first came to Xiaoyu Home Cooking, Ye Chui investigated the information of this woman, so he had some understanding of these things.

"It's not just you." Xing Sen shook his head. "I told you that the Vegetarian Cult is more like a terrorist group now. I suspect they are planning to sneak into the cruise ship carnival party and kidnap the wealthy people who are attending."

Ye Chui frowned. Are these people playing such a big game? He smiled unnaturally: "Fortunately, I knew these things in advance and was able to get out safely..."

"Don't say that for now." Xing Sen suddenly smiled and looked at Ye Chui for a few times, "I have discussed it with the tomboy and have drawn up an action plan. Congratulations, Ye Chui, your chance to serve the country and show yourself has come..."

"Stop. Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not that conscious yet." Ye Li refused directly. "I will never board that cruise ship."

"Then why are you taking this cooking competition so seriously?" Xing Sen said with a glare.

"I'm unhappy with the bosses of Jun Le Xiang and Hai Tian Company, so I want to crush them with delicious food first. When they agree with me, I will refuse the job of chef." Ye Chui shrugged and said. This was his original plan.

Xing Sen: "... Can you be more boring?"

Ye Chui turned around and continued to select the spices he was going to use: "Anyway, I'm not willing to get on board. I'm just a cook. I won't do anything dangerous."

"We will ensure your safety." Xing Sen persuaded patiently, "Besides, when this matter is over, we will give you some benefits."

"What benefits?" Ye Chui turned his head and showed an interested expression.

"Give you a medal?" Xing Sen said after thinking for a while.

Ye Chui simply turned around and said, "Hey. The red peppers here are good..."

"Then it should be okay to give you some money, right?" Xing Sen said hurriedly when he saw that the medal could not impress Ye Chui.

"I can earn money slowly, and I am confident in my ability to make money, so I won't take risks for money." Ye Chui said to Xing Sen seriously.

Xing Sen said helplessly: "So what do you plan to do in order to cooperate with us?"

"I need a promise from you." Ye Chui saw that the time was right, so he said to Xing Sen in a serious tone, "It's easy to open a restaurant in this world, but it's not easy to make it big, so I need a promise from you, the food police. When I have the funds ready to open a big restaurant, I need you to help me clear some troubles."

Xing Sen was stunned. He didn't expect Ye Chui to say this, so he subconsciously asked, "How big a restaurant do you want to open?"

"Open it as wide as you can." Ye Chui continued.

It sounded like a joke, but his expression was extremely serious.

Xing Sen confirmed that Ye Chui was not joking. If he hadn't known Ye Chui before and heard Ye Chui say this, he would definitely laugh at Ye Chui. But now that he had experienced some things with Ye Chui, he felt that if Ye Chu said this, he could really do it in the future... So he thought about it seriously and said to Ye Chui, "Okay, I can promise you this. As long as it's not too extreme, I can help you, but this opportunity only comes once."

"Okay, I believe you won't go back on your word." Ye Chui smiled and nodded.

Xing Sen suddenly realized: "Wait a minute... Have you thought about this a long time ago and are waiting to state this condition?"

Ye Chui simply turned around again: "Hey, the monk fruit here is also pretty good..."

Xing Sen: “…”

Actually, Xing Sen guessed correctly. Ye Chui had already made up his mind. He was going to open a big restaurant in the future. Doing a favor to Xing Sen and the food police behind him was also a preparation for opening a big restaurant in the future. The most important thing was that this group of vegetarians came to trouble him for no reason, which really made him feel unhappy... (~^~)
