I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 186 Top Chef Chen Wei
"Didn't you say you were going to have a seafood feast? Why did you bring out a dead fish?"

When the waiter pushed the food cart into the private room and opened the lid, there was a dead fish with its eyes wide open. Su Yumeng's eyes were full of confusion.

Does true gourmet food necessarily require eating raw meat and drinking blood?

“This fish isn’t the one I caught before, the one called the Red-eyed Fish!” Su Qingyue noticed.

“Yes, this is the finest ingredient for sashimi,” Chen Wei said, wiping his hands clean as he explained.

Then pick up the sharp knife that was placed aside and wipe it clean with a tissue.

"You actually have to do it yourself? Don't you find it troublesome?" Su Yumeng said speechlessly.

"Good sashimi requires good knife skills," Chen Wei said confidently.

"You don't mean to say that your knife skills are better than those of professional chefs, do you?" Su Yumeng said, noticing the chef-looking guy outside the door.

"I don't know, but I have more confidence in myself."

With a flash of cold light, he held the knife in his right hand and simultaneously peeled off the fish skin with his left hand, without leaving a single strand of meat on the skin.

Even though she couldn't cook, Su Yumeng knew that this was not something an ordinary person could do.

Especially after seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the chefs outside the door, she became even more certain of her thoughts.

Then, with a single cut, the fish meat was revealed to be as thin as paper, and translucent.

Before long, Chen Wei had cleaned the entire half of the fish and spread the paper-thin slices of raw fish evenly on the crushed ice.

Even the sauces were made by Chen Wei himself.

"Everyone, please have a taste."

"Then I won't be polite!" Su Yumeng seemed like a completely different person, and took the lead in picking up her chopsticks.

Pick up three or four slices with your chopsticks, dip them in a little sauce, and put them in your mouth. You can feel the soft texture of the fish and a hint of sweetness. The sauce doesn't overpower the fish; instead, it emphasizes and enriches the flavor of the fish itself.

At the same time, you can clearly feel the layers of texture when chewing multiple pieces of fish in your mouth.

Thanks to this, Su Yumeng instantly understood what Chen Wei meant by "good sashimi requires good knife skills".

"This tastes better than any fish dish I've ever had!" Su Qingyue cupped her face, lost in bliss.

"Japan's sashimi cuisine is considered world-class. I've eaten there a few times, and it is indeed delicious, but it's far inferior to what Xiaowei makes," Su Meiyu said frankly.

As for Lin Qiuyue and Su Mengdie?
Their eating manners, where they didn't even bother to comment, said it all.

"Brother, what are you going to do with the remaining half fish?" Su Yumeng was actually trying to imply that what Chen Wei was continuing to eat wasn't enough.

"Take the fish skin and bones to make soup." Chen Wei told the waitress how to make the soup and asked her to pass it on to the chef.

Ultimately, he's here for vacation, so there's no need for him to do everything himself.

Seeing Su Yumeng's disappointed look, Chen Wei took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm stingy and unwilling to let you eat?"

"No." Su Yumeng naturally couldn't reveal all her thoughts.

"Red-eyed fish is indeed very suitable for making sashimi, but it also has a drawback: it can easily make people feel greasy."

“That’s absolutely right.” As soon as Chen Wei finished speaking, Lin Qiuyue put down her chopsticks.

The more you eat, the worse the taste becomes, even to the point of being offensive.

Su Mengdie, Su Qingyue, and Su Meiyu put down their chopsticks one after another. Looking at the last piece of sashimi on the iceberg that was about to melt, Su Yumeng pulled her chopsticks back.

I felt like I was just a hair's breadth away from vomiting; it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Thump! Thump! Thump!
At that moment, the waiter pushed the food cart in again.

Place the soup bowls in front of each person.

"Fish bones, fish skin, and... tofu?" Su Qingyue wasn't quite sure.

"Yes, it's tofu," Chen Wei affirmed. "Try it, it's very refreshing."

Upon hearing that it could cut through the greasiness, the five of them quickly picked up spoons, scooped up a spoonful of the pale yellow soup, pursed their lips, gently blew on it, and then put it in their mouths.

"Although the flavor is very mild, it feels very pleasant after tasting it," Su Qingyue said in surprise.

Just as Chen Wei said, it's very refreshing.

"The fish skin is so crispy!" Su Yumeng really liked the texture, it was so crunchy.

"I prefer tofu, it's so tender!" Su Meiyu commented.

"Why is there only white rice? Where are the vegetables?" Su Yumeng noticed the steaming white rice in the steamer on the food cart.

"This is for soaking in hot springs. If you can still eat after this, feel free to order anything else on the menu," Chen Wei explained.

"Rice soaked in soup, not bad!" Su Qingyue was the first to try it.

……

"I'm full, I can't eat anymore, not even a little bit." Su Yumeng slumped in her chair, looking at her slightly bulging belly, and said contentedly.

"I never thought a fish could be so satisfying." Su Qingyue wiped her mouth with a tissue, a stark contrast to Su Yumeng's behavior, perfectly embodying the image of a lady.

Every move she made exuded the air of a wealthy young lady—gentle, refined, and well-mannered.

In comparison, Su Yumeng seems to have been abandoned. Since she already has her older sister as a role model, the younger sister has decided to let herself be...

When Chen Wei and his group came out of the private room, they found that the chefs had not yet left.

The group took their positions, bowed, and said, "President Chen, please accept us as your apprentices."

"Take on apprentices? I'm a complete amateur, I don't have much to teach you." Chen Wei said awkwardly, putting his hands in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, you are too modest. If I had half of your knife skills and understanding of ingredients, I could definitely be world-renowned."

"You're really giving me too much credit."

……

It took Chen Wei a lot of effort to persuade the group to give up.

"Those guys were exaggerating way too much. It was obvious they were just flattering him." Su Yumeng commented on what had just happened.

"Flattery? I don't think so. The leader is named Mahamolde, a world-class chef, ranked in the top ten. He is arrogant and doesn't even respect those top food critics. Even billionaires have to follow the rules to eat his food."

Su Qingyue's meaning was simple: this kind of person wouldn't flatter Chen Wei just because he was the boss.

"So that means my brother is really amazing? He has half of his knife skills and understanding of ingredients, and he's already world-renowned?" Su Yumeng looked up at Chen Wei in shock.

"Give up, you really don't have the talent," Chen Wei said seriously.

"..." At this moment, Su Yumeng's eyes were like pearls covered in dust, dull and lifeless, just like the dead fish that had been placed on the table before.

"Tch, what's the big deal? You won't starve if you can't cook. At worst, you can just find someone who can cook..." As she spoke, Su Yumeng secretly glanced at Chen Wei, but didn't continue her sentence.
