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

It was 8:30 PM when the master arrived on time to deliver the raw materials.

Today, Chen Yu had increased the order by five hundred jin of chicken offal and five hundred jin of duck offal.

After storing the materials and cleaning the shop, the system notification rang in Chen Yu's mind.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business, today's net profit amounts to 228,300 yuan, earning 228,300 points. The current total accumulated points are 2,297,180.]

In Chen Yu's mind, the total turnover for the day also appeared.

The new varieties of marinated dishes had brought the day's turnover to a total of 1,406,000 yuan.

However, the consumption of flour had exceeded Chen Yu's calculations.

After the increase in marinated dishes, the flour needed doubled from before.

To ensure the shop's normal operation for the following week, an additional 140,000 jin of flour was necessary.

Besides the 205,000 yuan spent on purchasing the ingredients for the next day's marinated dishes and seasonings, Chen Yu still had 1,195,600 yuan left with him.

After deliberation, Chen Yu transferred 1,190,000 yuan into his current account.

He kept the remaining 8,000 yuan as a reserve.

Wang Qingshan and the fourteen girls had already left; Tong Ya, Tang Xiaowei, and Su Rui were chatting and laughing as they went up to the third floor.

Chen Guang and Li Lan also took Tuan Tuan back to their room.

Only Chen Yu was left in the spacious hall.

He found that after his intelligence had improved, he seemed to think about more things, and he sat there inexplicably, contemplating Su Rui's future.

With a self-deprecating laugh, Chen Yu shook his head and went straight upstairs.

He didn't plan to go to the park today.

Now outside, he was being hailed as an orthopedic sage, and likely, many elderly were waiting in the park for him to set their bones.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to go, but that he was far from being a qualified doctor right now.

If someone reported him, he might be accused of practicing medicine illegally.

Having not seen each other for many years, Tong Ya and Su Rui chatted until the early morning, still full of energy.

Chen Yu didn't know whether it was the habit of being held by Tong Ya in sleep or something else, but suddenly he felt the large bed was somewhat empty.

Early the next morning, Chen Yu washed up and went down to the lobby, where Wang Qingshan and the fourteen girls had already arrived early at the shop, busy with their duties.

Now the entire shop could operate on its own without needing much intervention from Chen Yu.

Today, all he needed to do was teach Wang Qingshan the steps to prepare the chicken and duck offal.

Compared to yesterday, there seemed to be more customers, and the number of delivery riders had also grown significantly.

The cost of chicken and duck offal was very low, only three yuan per jin, so Chen Yu didn't sell it too expensively, only requiring fifteen yuan for one jin.

This made more delivery riders treat this place as a canteen.

By ten in the morning, Chen Yu had gone to the agricultural market to buy some raw materials.

When he returned, he noticed two men, nearly forty years old, sitting at an empty table.

The two had grim expressions, neither ordering food nor doing anything, just sitting there silently.

Tong Ya and her friends had already woken up. Tang Xiaowei was busy painting a mural on her own while Su Rui helped her.

Tong Ya had even gone up to the second floor with Li Lan to work on the semi-finished products.

Chen Yu just took a curious look at the two men sitting in the hall and then went back to the kitchen on his own.

"Are you the boss?"

One of the men suddenly stood up and followed Chen Yu to the entrance of the kitchen.

Chen Yu slightly furrowed his brow, "It's me, what's the matter?"

"My name is Ning Kai, and this is Li Gang! We are here to challenge you."

Chen Yu couldn't help but pause, "Challenge me?"

Indeed!" Ning Kai made a fist and bowed slightly, "Liu Chong, Grandpa Liu said that our Sichuan cuisine is not as good as yours. My brother and I can't accept that, so we've come to see who's better."

Chen Yu let out a light sigh, "This is just a breakfast and marinated food shop! If you're looking for a Sichuan cuisine competition, you've got the wrong place."

The two men also looked puzzled. Since they had sat down, they hadn't seen anything in the shop related to Sichuan cuisine.

At first, they even thought they had gone to the wrong place.

"The address Grandpa Liu gave us is here, it's impossible to be wrong!"

Li Gang also stood up, "And I saw you bring some ingredients into the kitchen just now that looked like they could be used in Sichuan dishes."

Chen Yu had a helpless look on his face; he just wanted to run his business smoothly. He had no interest whatsoever in culinary challenges.

"Please go back! I bought some ingredients just to make meals for the staff."

"Just stir-fry a Mapo Tofu!" Ning Kai wouldn't take no for an answer and barged into the kitchen.

"What do you two think you're doing?" Wang Qingshan was staring at a large spoon and walked straight over.

Wang Qingshan had noticed these two men the moment they entered the shop.

Now, seeing the two guys grappling with Chen Yu, he was convinced that they were there to make trouble.

Chen Yu quickly stopped Wang Qingshan, "They just want to come here to challenge my cooking skills, there's no need to be so confrontational."

Wang Qingshan was first stunned, then he covered his belly and roared with laughter.

"You two are challenging my boss? You must not be fully awake yet. Don't blame me for not warning you when you lose."

After leaving that remark, Wang Qingshan returned to his station.

Although Chen Yu was reluctant to compete with these two men, now that things had escalated to this point, he had no choice but to take action.

"There are three woks here; we'll each use one and stir-fry Mapo Tofu. If you lose, don't bother me again!"

Having agreed, he immediately turned on the stove to heat the oil and picked up a kitchen knife to start processing the tofu.

This was almost a basic skill for every top-class chef.

It was all about speed!

During the process from when the oil hit the wok to when it got hot, he perfectly timed it to get all the ingredients ready to go into the wok at once.

At that moment, knives in both men's hands were dancing, and soon, the tofu was cut into small cubes of roughly the same size.

But as they were about to add the tofu to the wok, they found that Chen Yu already had the tofu and various other ingredients ready in his hands, waiting for the oil to get hot.

The two men stiffened simultaneously, surprised that Chen Yu's knife skills were faster than both of theirs.

Before they could react, Chen Yu had already thrown the ingredients into the wok, stirring them with practiced ease.

The two didn't dare slack off and quickly focused their full attention on the task.

Before long, the rich aroma began to weave through the kitchen.

However, when they caught the scent coming from Chen Yu's wok, they were stunned on the spot.

They knew they had already lost.

When the three dishes of Mapo Tofu were placed on the table, the two men sighed in resignation.

Then, with a thump, they knelt down on the floor.

"Master, please take the two of us as your disciples. We are willing to follow you and devote ourselves to learning Sichuan cuisine!"
