"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
Amid the incredulous eyes of the chefs and even Ye Chui's disgusted gaze, the skinny man took the first bite of the dish, and an expression of aftertaste and enjoyment appeared on his face - to be honest, although this dish was made by Ye Chui, seeing the man's enjoyment, Ye Chui did not feel happy at all: it was full of disgust.
He waited patiently for the man's opinion on the dish, but what Ye Chui didn't expect was that after the man took the first bite, he took the second bite, and the third bite...
He waited until all the meat balls were eaten before stopping and sighed with satisfaction: "It's delicious."
Ye Chui: “Hehe.”
"I didn't expect that something that can be seen everywhere can be eaten in such a unique way. Today I am really eye-opening. I have always prided myself on being knowledgeable and having eaten all kinds of ingredients, but this is the first time I have tasted a dish as unique and delicious as Mr. Ye's. I believe that this Sanzhier will become a rare delicacy among dark cuisines and will be widely spread!"
Ye Chui: “Hehe.”
"Okay, I've decided!" The skinny man suddenly shouted, standing up from his seat and saying to the other chefs who hadn't even started to prepare the dishes, "You don't have to compete anymore. The chef for this banquet is Mr. Ye!"
"What? How can this be? I have spent a long time preparing this dish..."
"It took me a lot of effort to prepare the ingredients!"
"You said our dishes were substandard without even trying them. Isn't that too much?"
Among the six chefs, Fang Tao did not speak, but his body seemed to be completely stiff. He stared at the young man standing over there in amazement. His confidence just now had become a joke now. The other party had not even tasted the dish he had carefully prepared and had already determined that Ye Chui had won...
This blow is indescribably heavy.
There was also an indescribable heavy shame. Had Ye Chui's cooking skills reached this level
I can’t compare to him in terms of regular dishes, and I lost even more miserably in the dark cuisine competition…
He looked at Ye Chui's figure and suddenly gritted his teeth. Hatred shone in his eyes...
"What are you shouting about?" The skinny man saw the chefs complaining and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Are you dissatisfied with my judgment? Don't forget the rules here. Now, you can leave!"
The chefs were all a little indignant and felt it was unfair, but due to the prestige of the skinny man, they dared not say anything. They quietly packed up their things and walked out the door. However, the way they looked at Ye Chui was particularly unfriendly, and Fang Tao's eyes were red...
After everyone left, the skinny man smiled and said to Ye Chui, "Mr. Ye, congratulations on becoming the chef of this dark banquet. I am Qian Xin, the person in charge of the dark banquet."
"Hello, Mr. Qian." Ye Chui nodded to the other party. It was beyond Ye Chui's expectation that the review of chefs for this dark banquet would go so smoothly.
"The Dark Banquet will be held in three days. I will send the specific venue to Mr. Ye at an appropriate time, but there are some things I want to mention to you first." Qian Xin's expression became serious. "Dark Banquets are not allowed by current laws. If they are discovered by the Food Police, they will be severely punished. I believe you know this, Mr. Ye, so I hope you can strictly guarantee that the Dark Banquet will not be leaked. In fact, you are now accepting the review of the Dark Banquet, which has already constituted a crime. Mr. Ye should not ask for trouble, right?"
"Of course not." Ye Chui said quickly.
"So..." Qian Xin's expression suddenly became stern. "I want to know, Mr. Ye, you should have a bright future. You are completely different from other people who come to apply for the chef position. They all want to take a different approach and make dark cuisine because they can't see any future or hope in cooking. But what is your reason, Mr. Ye?"
"I want to make money." Ye Chui immediately said the reason he had thought of before, "My fame can't be exchanged for much money. And I really need money, so I want to make dark cuisine. The organizer of the dark banquet will definitely not be stingy with the reward... Mr. Qian, are you satisfied with this reason?"
"Yeah, not bad!" Qian Xin nodded, "I like people who are obsessed with money. Very good, Mr. Ye welcomes you to join the dark cuisine world."
As he spoke, Qian Xin stretched out his hand towards Ye Chui.
Ye Chui shook hands with him, wondering if this could be considered as a successful infiltration of the enemy by the Infernal Affairs team.
Then Qian Xin passed on to Ye Chui some information about the Dark Banquet, as well as some things to pay attention to. The Dark Banquet seemed to have been held several times before, but the previous chef resigned because he could not stand it, so they wanted to find a new chef. If the dark dishes made by Ye Chui this time can satisfy those patrons, they will continue to employ Ye Chui in the future. As for the salary, it is indeed very satisfactory - it can be seen that those who dare to participate in the Dark Banquet are definitely wealthy people.
"The next Dark Banquet will be held in three days, and many big shots will attend." Qian Xin said to Ye Chui at the end, looking at Ye Chui with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "And the main ingredient of this Dark Banquet is monkey brains."
Ye Chui moved slightly.
"Mr. Ye, what do you think of this dish?" Qian Xin continued to ask with a smile.
"Monkey brain is a dish created by Goryeo officials during the Qing Dynasty in China to express their submission to the Qing Dynasty. This dish has a long history. I have heard of it for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to taste or make it. If I can try it this time, it will definitely be a rare opportunity." Ye Chui hurriedly said, pretending to be eager.
His reaction satisfied Qian Xin: "Yes, Mr. Ye, you are indeed a person who has great pursuit of cooking skills. I believe you will shine at the dark banquet."
Ye Chui was silent for a while, then asked tentatively: "How to make the ingredients of monkey brain?"
"Don't worry about that. We have our own channels and have already caught a monkey." Qian Xin said with a smile, pointing to a room next to him, "In fact, the monkey is being held here right now!"
Ye Chui was startled and looked towards the room next to him. The little monkey was right there!
He suddenly had an impulse to knock the skinny man to the ground and leave here immediately with the little monkey... But then he suppressed his impulse. The dark banquet was too sensational and the existence of this banquet must be completely eradicated.
So he thought about it and said, "Mr. Qian, can I make a request?"
"What's your request? Tell me."
"I want to take this monkey away first. Monkey brains are delicious, but they are very likely to carry certain infectious bacteria. So I must feed it carefully before the banquet begins. This is also for the sake of the banquet." Ye Chui explained, waiting for Qian Xin's reply anxiously.
Qian Xin readily agreed: "That's easy, you can take him away later. To be honest, this beast has been barking non-stop these past two days, and it's kept me awake." After a pause, Qian Xin continued, "However, let's be clear first. We spent a lot of effort to get this monkey. If it gets lost, you should compensate us for our losses, Mr. Ye."
"Of course." Ye Chui agreed quickly.
"Mr. Ye, I'll take you to see the monkey now."
Qian Xin then brought Ye Chui to the next room, which should be the bedroom. There was a cage in the corner of the room, and a monkey was locked inside it. The monkey grew up in the mountains and was used to freedom. How could it adapt to being locked in a cage suddenly? It kept making noises and there were faint scars on its body, as if it was beaten by Qian Xin for being too noisy in the past two days.
And on its thin arm, the bracelet of little Wang Shiyu is still wrapped, and it has not been thrown away after all these days.
Seeing the monkey, Ye Chui breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed it!
"I don't know who put the bracelet on this beast's arm. I plan to help it take it off in the next two days. It is very precious. Hey, it's really interesting." Qian Xin said casually, stretching out his legs and kicking the cage a few times. The little monkey inside immediately made a series of frightened cries of "chichi, chichi".
Ye Chui glanced at Qian Xin coldly. If he wasn't afraid of delaying important matters, he definitely wouldn't mind kicking this guy hard a few times...
Qian Xin picked up the cage and handed it to Ye Chui: "Mr. Ye, I'll leave this beast to you first. Thank you for taking care of it for the next few days. Hehe... I'm looking forward to seeing what it will look like after it becomes a delicious dish."
Ye Chui: “…Hehe.”
After taking the cage, Ye Chui's mood obviously changed, but Qian Xin didn't pay much attention to it. He took a piece of white cloth and covered the cage, then sent Ye Chui out of the room.
Carrying the cage, Ye Chui walked out of the residential building. Only then did he feel completely relaxed.
Three days later he will attend the Dark Banquet and catch those cruel guys in one fell swoop. Of course, Ye Chui will never really use the little monkey as an ingredient, but Ye Chui will still need to make the monkey brain dish at that time - however, Ye Chui will use other ingredients instead. He can use tofu to make the taste of monkey brain look real!
Thinking about these things in his mind, Ye Chui had already left the community carrying the cage. When he reached the door, several people suddenly surrounded Ye Chui.
"Ye Chui, why are you so haunted..."
Fang Tao stared at him with a grim expression. (~^~)
PS: I saw some comments that someone seemed to be worried that the cannon would use the little monkey to cook... How could such a cruel thing be possible? Don't worry...
