Chef Li's hand, which was holding the knife to chop the fish, stiffened noticeably as Hua Shi approached. He frowned, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and suppressed his anger.

Hua Shi suddenly said, "Why don't you clean the gills first? Instead of just chopping the fish into pieces?"

This fish was obviously supposed to be gutted first and then cooked whole, but the chef did the opposite. He didn't even clean the belly of the fish. The fish wasn't chopped into pieces, but the guts were all spilling out...

Chef Li seemed to be ignited by Hua Shi's words, and he slammed the kitchen knife in his hand heavily on the wooden chopping board, making a "bang" sound.

"What do you mean?!" Chef Li glared at Hua Shi with his beard puffed out.

Hua Shi dodged two steps back, and the blood splashing from the kitchen knife almost spilled onto her clothes.

And with Chef Li's angry words, Hua Shi finally understood why the restaurant's business was so bad...

Ultimately, the chef is not a chef. Chef Li is obviously an amateur. Why can't the owner of this restaurant... see it?

Hua Shi ignored the angry Chef Li and turned to look at Guan Wei beside him.

Guan Wei was also looking at her with a confused expression, not realizing that anything was wrong.

"What do you mean?! Is it your turn as a little girl to tell me how to cook my own dishes?!" Chef Li was irritated by her direct disregard for him. He gasped, stared at her with bloodshot eyes, and asked angrily.

Hua Shi ignored him and walked towards the kitchen door. In just three or two steps, he passed everyone and walked out of the kitchen.

Chef Li glared and wanted to curse, but Guan Wei's look turned his back on him.

Outside the kitchen door, Guan Wei frowned and stared at Hua Shi with an unhappy look on his face. "What on earth are you keeping in suspense? Where's the method you proposed?"

Guan Ling sneered, "I think your restaurant is hopeless. You're really crazy to expect a fisherwoman to give you advice!"

Guan Wei ignored his sister's sarcastic remarks and kept his eyes on Hua Shi.

Hua Shi pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at the Guan siblings and asked, "Didn't you notice anything wrong?"

These two people clearly saw the mess in the kitchen, so why didn’t they have any doubt that it was the cook’s fault...?

“…What’s wrong?” Guan Wei asked with a frown.

"Chef Li is not a chef at all. He is obviously an amateur. Can't you see that?" Hua Shi said bluntly.

Guan Wei frowned even more tightly, as if he didn't believe Hua Shi's words.

Guan Ling on the side showed a thoughtful expression. After some reminders, she seemed to remember something was wrong.

Guan Wei said, "Impossible! I've tried the sour soup fish and other dishes made by Chef Li. How could he not be a chef?"

Hua Shi continued, "If you don't believe me, just stare at him and ask him to make you a sour soup fish dish."

Guan Wei was silent, not saying a word, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Guan Ling nodded, looked at his eldest brother, slapped Guan Wei on the back, and said, "Brother, what are you hesitating about? As soon as I saw that chef's shifty eyes, I knew he was not a good person. Only you trust him so much. I think our restaurant's business is not doing well because that chef can't cook. He is not a chef at all!"

Guan Wei said solemnly, "I've eaten the sour soup fish he made before, it was delicious."

Otherwise, why would he pay such a high price to hire him to be the head chef? He believed that the taste he had tasted was good...

"So what if you've eaten it? Maybe he tricked you in some way?! In my opinion, the problem lies with this cook!"

The more Guan Ling thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She recalled the things she had heard outside a long time ago...

Some customers who have eaten fish in restaurants have said that the fish in the restaurant is fishy and tastes bad, and the owner charges a high price.

She later heard about it and came to talk to her brother about it, but her brother told her not to listen to what people outside said. He said he had eaten the sour soup fish made by the chef and it tasted great, so there couldn't be any problems. As for why the business was not good...

Her brother always thought that the price was too high and ordinary people couldn't afford it. Over time, no one was willing to come and eat there. His brother was too self-righteous and unwilling to lower the price. For the past two or three years, it has been dragging on like this. No one knows how much money he has lost!

Guan Wei was originally hesitant, but after hearing Guan Ling's words, he immediately calmed down, turned around silently, and walked back into the kitchen.

Guan Ling followed immediately.

Hua Shi and Xie Mingchi, who fell behind him, stood there without moving.

Xie Mingchi's gaze fell on Hua Shi's calm and confident face, a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes, and then he asked, "Ashi, how did you know that the cook was not a cook?"

Hua Shi came back to his senses, looked up, thought for a moment, and asked, "Didn't you see it?"

Xie Mingchi scratched the back of his head and shook his head, "No."

He hadn't looked closely just now, and the fishy smell inside made him wonder if the fish wasn't fresh, otherwise why would the smell be so pungent...

Hua Shi explained, "I saw that he was not very good at preparing the fish, and when we suddenly entered the kitchen, he looked flustered and guilty, so I guessed it."

Xie Mingchi nodded and asked, "Should we go in and take a look?"

"No, it's too stinking in there. As long as the Guan brother and sister aren't too stupid, they should be able to sense that something's wrong with the cook."
