Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Chef Shi Yuandong

Working in such a place, even as a guard at the door, one’s identity wouldn’t be simple at all.

Before he started working here as a security guard, he had been a professional bodyguard, and not of a low grade either. In critical situations, he had even achieved the astonishing feat of taking on four assailants alone to ensure the safety of his protectee, becoming a talking point worthy of pride.

Yet, even he could not perform a feat as shocking and terrifying as Chen Wei, who could punch a cement wall and leave a few centimeters deep imprint—let alone to chip off a piece of wall plaster, which was extremely difficult.

For guards, such an act was unheard of.

Therefore, when it came to Chen Wei’s actions, let alone agreeing to them, it took a long while for the guard to recover from the shock after Chen Wei, and Su Yumei had entered.

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Chen Wei and Su Yumei were already seated and had chosen their dishes.

After taking their order, the server left.

"What do you think? The environment here is not bad, right?" Seeing Chen Wei looking around, Su Yumei asked.

"Yes, whether it’s the decor style, cleanliness, or service standards, all are top-notch," Chen Wei sincerely commented.

And that was not just because he was with Su Yumei.

"Of course. Who do you think recommended this place?"

Seeing Su Yumei’s pride, Chen Wei didn’t verbally tease her, not wanting to spoil her good mood.

At this time of day, the restaurant wasn’t at its peak with customers, so the dishes were served quickly. Chen Wei and Su Yumei only waited a little over twenty minutes.

A crispy roasted duck, a dish of Taihu Vinegar Fish, a plate of assorted smoked meats, a bowl of Mapo tofu...

In total, exactly ten dishes, no more, no less.

After a whole day, Chen Wei and Su Yumei were quite hungry and didn’t think it was too much.

Once the dishes were on the table, they immediately picked up their chopsticks and began to tuck into the various delicacies.

Chen Wei tasted the crispy roasted duck first. The skin was crispy, and the meat was tender. For him, it wasn’t mind-blowing, but it was delicious.

Next was the assorted smoked meats, rich in smoky flavor, just the right mix of salty and sweet, tender without being greasy...

The Mapo tofu’s specialty lies in the "numbing, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, soft, fresh" characteristics, often referred to as the "eight-character maxim," which the restaurant’s chef indeed managed to capture.

Overall, it was standard fare.

...

The last dish was the Taihu Vinegar Fish.

Chen Wei picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, drenched in sauce, took a bite, and immediately shook his head, quickly reaching for a tissue to spit it out.

"Is there something wrong with this fish?" Su Yumei was about to try the Taihu Vinegar Fish when she saw Chen Wei’s reaction and immediately withdrew her hand, not daring to take any.

Could it be poisoned?

"It’s not prepared well. The fish is not only undercooked, but it also has a very strong fishy smell," Chen Wei said as he held up the plate and summoned the server, "Please bring me another plate of Taihu Vinegar Fish. This one is not made well. You can let your chef try it himself if you don’t believe me, I’m sure he will understand what the problem is."

"Okay," the server didn’t say much and immediately took the barely touched plate of vinegar fish into the kitchen.

Within a few minutes, the same dish was brought back out.

But this time, a chef accompanied it.

Without speaking, his face was already full of dissatisfaction towards Chen Wei.

"Sir, Miss, let me introduce you, this is our new head chef, Mr. Shi Yuandong," the server introduced.

"Chef Shi, these two are..."

"Get out of my way! I don’t need you to tell me who they are, and I don’t care!" Shi Yuandong pushed the waiter aside and approached Chen Wei, heading straight to the point and asking him, "Are you saying there’s a problem with the fish I cooked?"

"Yes! And it’s not a small problem. The heat wasn’t controlled properly, the fish is undercooked, the technique for thickening the sauce is flawed, the timing was off, and it can’t cover the fishy smell of the fish itself. This dish could easily score a zero," Chen Wei spoke the truth.

He knew these chefs had pride that they couldn’t let go of; otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to confront him without even trying a bite of the fish first.

"Before you judge what I’ve made, I hope you can take out your mobile phone and search for the three words, ’Shi Yuandong.’"

"Why should I do that?" Chen Wei asked.

"Because that will let you understand how ignorant your words are!"

When the waiter heard Shi Yuandong say this, he was frightened. No matter what, one shouldn’t talk to customers like that, right?

"Chef Shi..."

"Shut up! You don’t get to speak here!" Shi Yuandong’s fierce gaze scared the waiter into swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Shi Yuandong was a chef the restaurant had spent a high price to employ; unlike him, he was indispensable. Every day, guests came incessantly just for the name of Shi Yuandong... The difference in importance was obvious at a glance.

"No matter how many awards you’ve won, no matter how skilled you are, does that necessarily relate to this dish not being well made?" Chen Wei retorted and asked.

"I, Shi Yuandong, haven’t fallen so low that I need an outsider to teach me how to cook!"

Shi Yuandong was known for his arrogance.

However, his culinary skills were indeed indisputable.

Except for a few who remained silent and neutral, most were on Shi Yuandong’s side.

"I’m sure those two can’t pay for the meal, so they’re deliberately finding faults, wanting to dine and dash."

"Definitely. They dared to find fault with Shi Yuandong, who do they think they are? World-renowned top chefs? What qualifications do you have to evaluate Chef Shi, Shi Yuandong?"

"I express utter contempt for such behavior. With such people around, it simply ruins the good mood I have for eating here."

"Could you please hurry up and kick out those two who want to dine and dash, showing themselves up? If it comes to that, I’ll pay for them. There are ever more losers in this era."

...

Shi Yuandong likewise believed that Chen Wei was deliberately looking for trouble to dine and dash, "Dining and dashing isn’t a big deal; it’s just a bit of lost money. But you should never have insulted me! Be ready to meet me in court!"

Nobody thought Shi Yuandong was making a mountain out of a molehill. Instead, they applauded him, feeling this was what a real man, a man of true character, would do.

"..." Chen Wei was left speechless, filled with retorts.

"Was it necessary to make such a fuss when a taste of the fish would have told you everything you need to know?"

"I can’t be bothered to waste time with you here. Anything else you have to say, you can speak with my lawyer," Shi Yuandong felt he was too foolish to have wasted his precious cooking time on an ignoramus like Chen Wei.

"..." Suddenly, Chen Wei stood up, silent.

With a swift hook of his leg, he sent Shi Yuandong tumbling to the ground.

"What are you doing!" Shi Yuandong turned around, furious.

In dealing with such a person, Chen Wei couldn’t be bothered to utter a half-word more.

Rather than wasting words, action proved far more satisfying.

He reached out, directly grabbing a handful of fish from the plate, while his other hand pressed against Shi Yuandong’s chest, keeping him from getting up.

Before Shi Yuandong could open his mouth to curse, Chen Wei stuffed the fish into his mouth.

With a smile, he asked, "How’s the taste?"
