After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Master of Gourmet Food



Chen Yu's physical fitness had already reached the limits of human potential, but he had never systematically learned martial arts or any kind of self-defense techniques.

Now, he could only rely on his own physical prowess and that sharp reflexes to deal with these mongrels.

However, these critters usually moved in packs and were numerous.

Even if Chen Yu was formidable, it wasn't possible to deal with all of them, especially since he also had to protect the three people behind him.

Bell, Kant, and Karan, although all world-renowned wilderness survival experts, also had very limited abilities.

Chen Yu let out a breath, "We can't stay here any longer! Let's leave as soon as possible."

The three roughly understood Chen Yu's meaning, not daring to linger here any longer. After quickly packing their equipment, they took up torches and cautiously proceeded, keeping a watchful eye on the mongrels as they hastened forward.

Shortly after they left, the pack of mongrels pounced and devoured the food they had left behind, leaving nothing.

Not until the early morning did the four men stop for a rest, looking back with some trepidation.

This wilderness survival trip indeed had many accidents, primarily because its difficulty might have been the greatest in recent years.

This primeval jungle had been desolate for many years, even housing some primitive tribes.

The organizers had initially planned separate routes for the four, but an unexpected event had brought the other three together, with Chen Yu being the exception.

Moreover, Kant had been bitten by a rare venomous snake.

When these images were transmitted back to the organizers' camp, everyone was on edge.

Initially, they thought that with four formidable participants together, there wouldn't be too many problems.

But they still underestimated the dangers within this primeval jungle.

Without any pause, on the afternoon of the third day at two o'clock, the four men almost simultaneously reached the predetermined endpoint.

The staff, who had been waiting there, immediately took them away separately for medical examinations.

After all the checks were finished, Chen Yu returned to the hotel.

[Congratulations, Host, for completing one day of business. Since costs have surpassed profits, there are currently no points accumulated.]

Chen Yu checked the time subconsciously; it was already eight o'clock at night.

Stretching, Chen Yu was about to go to bed when his phone suddenly rang.

"Son-in-law, we have to leave overnight!"

"Is it that urgent?" Chen Yu frowned slightly.

"The organizers want to sign a lifetime contract with you, and I'm not foolish enough to bury my son-in-law here! No matter what, we're heading back to Suzhou City first."

Chen Yu didn't say much else and hurried out of the hotel as Tong Ming had instructed.

In a clearing not far away, Tong Ming had arranged a helicopter to wait there.

Tong Ming did not leave with Chen Yu; he had to stay behind to coordinate some details.

Not until four in the morning did Chen Yu finally return to Suzhou City.

Although slightly tired, Chen Yu didn't return to Shuiyue No.1, instead going directly to the shop.

By four thirty in the morning, the shop was already in business mode.

Except for Li Lan, who was at home taking care of Tuan Tuan, everyone else was there.

Tong Ya was also there, helping to tidy up the tables.

"Wife! I'm back!"

The shout drew the attention of the entire shop.

Tong Ya, even more so, shouted and darted into Chen Yu's embrace in three strides.

Yet Tong Ya's face was filled with grievance, "You still remember to come back? You've been gone for three days without so much as a message."

Chen Yu patted Tong Ya's back, "The place I went to compete had no signal, you know!"

Just as he was consoling her, Chen Yu suddenly noticed that the faces of the people in the shop were looking rather grim.

Li Gang, with a sullen look, came out of the kitchen and handed over an invitation to Chen Yu.

"Old Chen, this was sent over by Master Han Dongli yesterday!"

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and took a good look at it, only to realize that Master Han Dongli was indeed a top gourmet critic.

Tong Ya let out a sigh, "I heard about Master Han when I was a child. He has an extremely high status in the culinary world. Any restaurant he's reviewed either becomes the talk of the industry or could possibly shut down that very day."

Chen Yu remained calm, "For me, whether he's a master or not, once he's in our shop, he's our guest, and we just need to serve him well."

This composed demeanor instantly surprised everyone in the shop, especially Ning Kai, Li Gang, and Wang Qingshan.

The three of them were veteran chefs and knew Han Dongli very well.

The master was already in his sixties this year and had dedicated his youth to restoring lost recipes.

He spent more than thirty years collecting and compiling ancient lost recipes, and so far, he had documented more than four hundred dishes.

And he was particularly picky.

Restaurants around the world with any degree of fame had been visited by him, yet most were both respectful and fearful of him.

Whenever Han Dongli visited a restaurant, nearly the entire staff would run around in circles attending to him.

Some venues even went so far as to hire world-class chefs at a high cost, all just to get a word of approval from him.

However, the three were quite confident in Chen Yu.

In all their years as chefs, they had never seen one like Chen Yu.

While other chefs take nearly a lifetime to master one type of cuisine, the three had no idea how many types Chen Yu was proficient in.

Chen Yu wouldn't say, and they didn't dare to ask.

As far as they could tell, Chen Yu was at least an expert in five major cuisines, and he had unique methods and techniques for each.

What was most important was that Chen Yu was not yet thirty years old. To have achieved such success at this age in the culinary world was no longer a matter of genius, it was downright divine.

By eight in the morning, the flow of customers gradually increased. Chen Yu noticed that many of them were carrying milk tea cups that were exceedingly cute in appearance.

He glanced instinctively outside the door and saw that across from the convenience store, a window selling milk tea had opened up at some point.

"Yuan Yi Milk Tea? When did this open?" Chen Yu casually asked.

Li Gang also glanced outside and noted, "It just opened the day before yesterday. It seems to be a celebrity-owned brand, and around a hundred locations popped up throughout Suzhou City in a single day."

A look of concern appeared on Chen Yu's face.

It wasn't so much that there was something wrong with the milk tea shop, but the sugar crystals and all sorts of additives contained in milk tea mixed with the braised flavors could easily cause problems.

The fats in braised foods are naturally high.

For most people who are strong and healthy, naturally, it's not an issue, but those who are slightly weaker or suffering from serious obesity.

If they drank the milk tea and then came to his shop for braised flavors, the combined effect could potentially cause issues with blood pressure and blood sugar.
