"How about we forget about it, Uncle Mo?"

After hearing what Uncle Mo had to say, Ye Chen politely declined.

"Come...come...come..."

Mo Hongru has made up his mind today to pass on his culinary skills, and he thinks Xiao Chen is a good candidate.

"How about this, I'll also cook a dish, and after it's done, we'll take it out together for Mengfei and the others to try, and see who gets the best."

Anyway, his kitchen was big enough that he and Xiaochen could use it together without any problem.

Seeing that Ye Chen refused, Mo Hongru changed his mind.

"Whoever is more popular wins, and the loser becomes the winner's apprentice."

Mo Hongru said confidently.

His master chef certificate wasn't earned for nothing; he was more than confident that he could easily beat Xiao Chen in cooking.

Xiao Chen is only eighteen or nineteen years old.

"This...isn't that a bad idea?"

Ye Chen refused again; he could already imagine how awkward the scene would be later.

"What's wrong with that? Come on."

Mo Hongru grabbed an apron from the side and forcefully shoved it into Ye Chen's hand.

Looking at the apron in his hand, and seeing that Uncle Mo had already made up his mind, he couldn't refuse, so he decided to take it.

Although he knew he would easily defeat Xiao Chen, Mo Hongru did not underestimate his opponent. He prepared to make his best dish, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish.

His wife and daughter both love this dish, but because it takes a lot of time, Mo Hongru doesn't usually make it.

Today, he's going to show off his skills to Xiao Chen.

Watching Uncle Mo prepare the mandarin fish, Ye Chen fell into thought, wondering what dish he should make.

Since Uncle Mo is cooking fish, I don't need to cook fish or shrimp myself.

In the end, Ye Chen set his sights on the spare ribs on the side.

Then I'll make a simple braised pork ribs dish.

After making the decision, Ye Chen began preparing scallions and ginger.

"Wait, Xiao Chen, can you make squirrel-shaped mandarin fish?"

Seeing Ye Chen preparing to process the ribs, Mo Hongru suddenly asked.

"Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, yes."

Ye Chen nodded.

"Well then, I just happened to buy two mandarin fish, Xiao Chen, why don't you make a squirrel-shaped mandarin fish dish?"

"After we finished cooking, the two of us took the dishes over without telling them who made each dish."

"It's fairer to see which dish they like."

Mo Hongru came up with an even more interesting idea.

If two people cook the same dish, won't Uncle Mo feel even more awkward later?

Ye Chen wanted to refuse, but Uncle Mo insisted, so Ye Chen had no choice but to agree and prepare to make Squirrel Fish as well.

On the other side, Mo Mengfei stood watching as Ye Chen and his father diligently cooked.

The real "beneficiaries" of the contest between the father and Ye Chen were himself and his mother.

She's in for a treat today.

Mo Mengfei naturally knew the taste of her father's squirrel-shaped mandarin fish; she had been looking forward to it for a long time.

I wonder how good Ye Chen's cooking is?

Sigh, Ye Chen is too young. It will be difficult for him to beat his father. His father's top-level chef certificate is right there in front of him.

However, she was still looking forward to tasting Ye Chen's cooking.

After watching Ye Chen and her father cook for a while, Mo Mengfei felt a little bored, so she returned to the living room and told her mother about the bet between her father and Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yazhi's expression changed slightly.

Her impression of Ye Chen was rather average, because she didn't know much about him. In her mind, Ye Chen was just a somewhat unrealistic young man.

Starting a business right after starting college?

This is a bit outrageous.

University students should focus on their studies. Even if they want to start a business, they should wait until their junior or senior year.

After two years of study, I've gained some experience.

Starting a business right after starting college, with absolutely no experience, is bound to result in losses. It's incredibly difficult to make a name for yourself in the industry.

What Ye Chen is doing now is simply wasteful...

As for the cooking competition with my husband tonight, the outcome is even more uncertain.

As his wife, Chen Yazhi would definitely stand behind Mo Hongru immediately.

Moreover, she knew how amazing her husband's cooking skills were.

On second thought, Hongru's approach wasn't bad. Xiaochen lost, so he had to learn to cook from Hongru. That way, Xiaochen wouldn't have time to start a business and lose money.

Mo Zhiwen, on the other hand, looked disdainful.

Ye Chen was just talking nonsense; I didn't understand a word he said.

He believes that only by working hard can his net worth increase faster.

If you work hard and earn money, shouldn't your own net worth increase?

Now Ye Chen is being incredibly arrogant and challenging his second uncle to a cooking contest.

Haha, isn't he just asking for trouble?

Soon it will be time to watch the show.

Time passed slowly, and gradually, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.

"It smells so good."

Mo Mengfei said with emotion that she could already smell the aroma of her father's squirrel-shaped mandarin fish.

A few minutes later, both of them finished their food.

"Turn around, we're about to serve the food."

Mo Hongru shouted loudly

Upon hearing this, Mo Mengfei, Chen Yazhi, and Mo Zhiwen all turned their heads, while Ye Chen and Mo Hongru each carried a dish and placed it on the dining table.

"Alright, you can turn around and come over to have a taste now."

Mo Hongru couldn't wait to have his wife and daughter come over and try it.

Chen Yazhi, Mo Mengfei, and the other two walked over, each picking up a pair of chopsticks.

Mo Mengfei was the first to try the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, and her eyes lit up immediately after tasting it.

Good, good, this dish is delicious.
