Less than half an hour had passed when a rich aroma wafted out from the kitchen.


    Su Rui watched the kitchen with eyes full of anticipation, unable to wait any longer.


    These past few days, she had been eating boxed meals provided by the organizers, which were simply worlds apart from Chen Yu''s cooking.


    As soon as Chen Yu brought the dishes to the table, Su Rui couldn''t wait to pick up her chopsticks and take a bite.


    "Oh, and tomorrow, the one among you with the best cooking skills will go head to head with those international chefs in thepetition. Make sure you''re ready."


    Chen Yu was slightly taken aback as he finally understood Tong Ming''s good intentions.


    Thispetition was purely to gain him exposure.


    Previously, Chen Yu had turned down his investment offer, so he was helping Chen Yu through this method instead.


    No wonder thispetition was set up like a reality show; it turned out that in the end, it was to connect directly with the international stage. see-more-MVLeMpYr


    As long as he could have a matchup with these international chefs, it didn''t matter whether Chen Yu won or lost; his name would be well-known.


    It could even turn his restaurant into a trendy spot for inte celebrities to check in.


    Being part of the production crew, Su Rui couldn''t stay here for too long.


    After hastily finishing her meal and going over some details of thepetition, she hurriedly left.


    Chen Yu stretchedzily: "Looks like I''ll have to put in quite some effort tomorrow."


    Talking to himself, he then copsed onto the bed.


    At eight in the evening, Chen Yu was awakened by a prompt in his mind.


    [Congrattions, Host, forpleting a day''s business. Today''s profit is 1,216,000 Yuan, earning 1,126,000 points. Your current total umted points are 7,930,180.]


    Luckily, Chen Yu had already ordered the raw materials before getting into bed, otherwise he would have missed out.


    When he transferred the round figure to his demand deposit ount, he was surprised to find that it already contained 10,840,000 Yuan.


    [Congrattions, Host, for umting savings over 10 million Yuan. You are awarded a medical skill; the host shall pay 100,000 points for it. Do you wish to pay?]


    Chen Yu couldn''t help but feel ecstatic, as he had been worrying about this very problem.


    He estimated that once he returned home after thepetition, even more neighbors woulde to seek medical attention from him.


    If he could acquire the medical skill and obtain a medical practitioner license with it, then he could confidently treat the people in his neighborhood.


    Just as he was about to confirm his choice, he suddenly saw the nearly 8 million points disyed on the system.


    It wouldn''t be long before he reached 10 million points, and then he would be able to unlock even higher-grade skills.


    For a moment, Chen Yu actually hesitated.


    However, after careful consideration, he went ahead and confirmed his choice.


    [Congrattions to the Host for obtaining the medical skill, which is at the current limit of human understanding. Your remaining points are now 7,830,180.]


    "Honey, you''re awake!"


    Tong Ya, with her slightly rxed sleepy eyes, sat up.


    Only then did Chen Yu realize.


    But when he turned around, he suddenly noticed that Tong Ya''s face looked a little off.


    "Do you feel unwell?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.


    Tong Ya was taken aback: "No, not at all!"


    Chen Yu didn''t waste any time and immediately checked Tong Ya''s pulse.


    "When you have your period every month, you catch a cold for two days, and you also suffer from extremely severe menstrual cramps."


    Tong Ya''s eyes widened in shock; this was a problem she had had since she was young, and no hospital had been able to cure it.


    Moreover, she didn''t remember ever telling Chen Yu about it.


    "How did you know?"


    Chen Yu released Tong Ya''s pulse, "Didn''t I tell you, I took some medical courses in college."


    Tong Ya suddenly looked at Chen Yu with a face full of expectation and asked somewhat uncertainly.


    "Husband, since you could tell, does that mean you can cure it?"


    "I can, but it''s going to take some effort! After thepetition tomorrow, I''ll cook you a few medicinal meals, and you should be able to recover."


    Tong Ya immediately became excited; this problem had troubled her for more than ten years.


    It caused her excruciating pain every time, and now, atst, there was hope for a cure.


    "Husband, you''re amazing! I adore you to death."


    Tong Ya had just hugged Chen Yu when she suddenly realized something, "That''s strange, then why didn''t you notice it before?"


    Chen Yu gave a slight cough, "I haven''t had the chance to hold your hand before, have I?"


    Tong Ya''s cheeks flushed, actually epting this reason.


    The next day at eight in the morning, when Chen Yu arrived at thepetition venue, he noticed it was even busier than the day before.


    It was either because it was Saturday or because the traffic to the event had broken through.


    Chen Yu was the only local chef appearing on site today; it seemed the rest had already been eliminated.


    Across from Chen Yu sat four chefs who seemed rather arrogant.


    Only one of them had an Eastern face, while the other three were foreigners.


    The four of them obviously didn''t care much for thepetition and must have been paid a hefty sum by Tong Ming.


    Su Rui was dressed even more chicly than the day before.


    "Yesterday, Mr. Chen Yu won thepetition by an overwhelming advantage, so the other contestants were unfortunately eliminated. As a result, the four celebrity chefs, acting as guests, had no choice but to join thepetition."


    These words tied the four celebrity chefs to thepetition.


    And they too seemed somewhat taken by surprise.


    "Weren''t we here to be judges?" one tall chef suddenly stood up, extremely dissatisfied with the decision.


    Although Su Rui maintained a smile, her eyes brimmed with disdain.


    "The four of you can only qualify as judges after you have defeated Mr. Chen Yu!"


    This challenge immediately ignited thepetitive spirit of the four chefs, and the atmosphere at the scene also heated up.


    Chen Yu''s head was full of ck lines; this was practically like forcing someone into a corner.


    Moreover, the venue had specially set up temporary kitchens tailored for the preferences of the four chefs.


    Chen Yu sighed helplessly, didn''t think too much about it, and began to organize his ingredients after Su Rui announced the start of thepetition.


    In fact, Chen Yu noticed the ingredients had already been set up when he arrived.


    Although there were other materials on his side, most of them were ssic ingredients for boiled white cabbage in in water.


    This dish was already the pinnacle of Sichuan cuisine, and in such apetition, it was the only dish that could beat world-ss chefs.


    Chen Yu appreciated everything Tong Ming did for him, but he still felt like it was akin to charity.


    However, Tong Ming had also put in a lot of effort into thispetition, so it had to bepleted, no matter what.


    These four chefs were extremely famous internationally; they each started off with their specialty dishes.


    Colorful Pond Totem, Foie Gras Mousseline, Universe Lotus Sparrow, Secret Recipe Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.


    Any one of these four dishes was a world-ss delicacy.


    Before long, rich aromas wafted from the five contestants'' makeshift kitchens.
