Chapter 4

In the morning, Ye Chui returned from the market, first cleaning and processing the fifty pounds of mutton. He was busy until nearly noon, then he began preparing the grand meal he had promised Wang Shiyu. The grand meal he was going to make was — XJ Big Plate Chicken.

Big Plate Chicken is a modern dish, mainly consisting of chicken and potatoes. However, in this world, since the vegetarian movement had taken place, this dish naturally had no chance to be born.

The preparation of Big Plate Chicken is complex and varied. Ye Chui had learned the most authentic cooking method from an experienced chef in XJ. However, he didn't have all the kitchen tools and ingredients at home, so he couldn't present it in its original flavor. But with his culinary skills as a food god, he could still make the dish extremely delicious. The rich aroma that wafted from the freshly cooked dish could be smelled throughout the neighborhood — at least it attracted the fat man over.

It was also around the time when his two younger sisters would be getting out of school. Ye Chui had just placed the Big Plate Chicken on the dining table and was preparing the accompanying noodles when a series of knocks suddenly sounded at the door.

"Could it be that Xiaoyu and Anjing forgot their keys? But the knocking doesn't sound like them..." Ye Chui thought curiously as he went to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a fat man rushed in. The fat man sniffed the air a couple of times and then ran straight to the dining table. Seeing the appetizing Big Plate Chicken on the plate, his eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to pick up a pair of chopsticks, grab a piece of chicken, and stuff it into his mouth. He then tilted his head back and panted — the dish was just out of the pot and scalding hot, and he had been burned.

Despite the burning sensation, his face showed an expression of great enjoyment. He refused to spit out the piece of meat, enduring the heat and swallowing it.

At this moment, his face was filled with joy. Thinking about the urgent matters he had been dealing with recently, seeing this Big Plate Chicken was like receiving a cart of life-saving coal in a dark and cold night, making him feel both moved and grateful. His fat face, unable to suppress a smile, turned to look at Ye Chui...

"Out!"

Ye Chui already had a broom in his hand, his face cold and stern, waiting for this strange and somewhat creepy fat man. Anyone would be upset if someone suddenly rushed into their home and started eating their freshly cooked meal, let alone a fat man who looked like he had just escaped from a mental hospital.

"Friend, how did you cook this chicken?" The fat man, not angry, asked Ye Chui with urgency, "Can you teach me? The taste is simply amazing; I never thought chicken could be cooked this way... Oh, my name is Tian Xiaodu, the head chef at Wanlai Fu Grand Hotel. I'm telling you, the taste of this dish is incredible. Can you tell me how to make it? If it goes through my hands, I can definitely make it famous!"

The fat man, Tian Xiaodu, was extremely excited, almost incoherent. After speaking, he raised his fat face proudly, as if implying that Ye Chui should come and worship him.

Ye Chui smiled and then waved the broom, "Get out!"

Ye Chui knew about Wanlai Fu Grand Hotel, a famous restaurant nearby. Could this creepy fat man really be the head chef there?

Would you believe it?

Ye Chui firmly believed he was dealing with a mental patient and waved the broom to drive him out, "What head chef? Get out now, or I'll call the police."

"I really am the head chef at Wanlai Fu, I'm not lying..." Tian Xiaodu shouted urgently.

But Ye Chui, already prejudiced, wouldn't listen. In his experience, he had seen a few chefs who seemed unreliable, but they were very few. He didn't believe he would randomly encounter one.

Amidst the shouting, Tian Xiaodu was directly swept out by Ye Chui. The fat man, still不服气 (unwilling to give up), continued to knock on the door. Ye Chui then pulled out a kitchen knife and opened the door, and the fat man ran off like a rabbit.

"Psychopath," Ye Chui muttered, looking at the fat man's back, and slammed the door shut.

Outside, under the residential building, Tian Xiaodu stood under a locust tree, sweating profusely, looking back to see if anyone was chasing him. He suddenly felt angry. As a head chef, he was a person of some importance. Usually, when he praised someone's cooking, it would make them happy for days. Today, he had never been so enthusiastic about someone's cooking, and he was chased out with a kitchen knife.

Tian Xiaodu decided to leave with a huff, but thinking about the taste of the Big Plate Chicken, he felt particularly reluctant.

After much thought, he decided to find a way to visit Ye Chui again. If he could learn this dish, it would solve his urgent problem...

Tian Xiaodu's small eyes darted around, and he had an idea. He decided to investigate Ye Chui's identity first. Being a shrewd person, he circled the neighborhood and then entered a small convenience store at the entrance. After buying a bunch of things, he handed a cigarette to the cashier and started chatting. He then mentioned Ye Chui.

"Oh, you mean that young man? I heard he's an orphan and has two younger sisters. He's quite diligent. I heard he now runs a stall at the night market," the store owner said without much thought, telling Tian Xiaodu everything he knew.

"He has two younger sisters?" The fat man's eyes narrowed, thinking this could be a breakthrough.

"Look, there they are, just getting out of school," the store owner suddenly pointed outside.

Anjing and Wang Shiyu were just walking by, a young girl and a cute little girl, both dressed simply but neatly, forming a beautiful scene as they passed by the door.

The fat man quickly thanked the store owner and followed them out. Sure enough, he saw them enter the house he had just been chased out of. Standing at the door, he could smell the enticing aroma wafting out, making his mouth water. This made him even more determined to learn the dish.

"The older one doesn't seem easy to approach, but dealing with children is much easier..."

The fat man thought to himself.
