Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

```

At first, to flaunt his superiority, he mocked Ye Fan with his BMW 5 Series, but he didn't expect Ye Fan to retaliate with a Bugatti Veyron. Bi Yuntao swallowed his pride.

Just now, Ye Fan claimed that sushi originated from our country, not Dongying, and due to his limited knowledge, Bi Yuntao took a dumb loss and bore it.

But now, as Ye Fan said that the sushi from Great River Japanese Cuisine was just slightly better than what you find on the market, Bi Yuntao couldn't hold back anymore.

Great River Japanese Cuisine has been operating in Central Plains City for nearly twenty years, packed with customers every day. It's said that the daily turnover is no less than 100,000, a veritable phenomenon in the dining sector.

After all, looking across the vast Central Plains City, there are only a few restaurants that can achieve a turnover of 100,000 a day, right?

In Bi Yuntao's eyes, Great River Japanese Cuisine is not only the top-ranked Japanese restaurant in Central Plains but also every dish is of the highest quality.

"Enough, Ye Fan! Did we indulge you too much that you dare to question Great River Japanese Cuisine?" Yu Xiangyi also stood up angrily.

She's a Central Plains local, and in Yu Xiangyi's memory, Great River Japanese Cuisine has always been incredibly popular, with dishes that are beyond praise.

What's more, this wasn't Yu Xiangyi's first visit. She had been there before and, in her opinion, everything Great River Japanese Cuisine made was delicious.

Ye Fan shrugged helplessly, "What I said is just a fact—there's no need for such an uproar, right?"

"A fact? If you dare to question the taste of Great River Japanese Cuisine's sushi, it seems you're really tired of living!" Bi Yuntao readied himself for a fight.

Ye Fan, with a calm expression, asked, "Don't believe me? Let me ask you then, do you understand how sushi is composed?"

"I..."

Bi Yuntao really wanted to argue with Ye Fan, but he rarely ate sushi and naturally did not know how it was composed.

"So, you think you know, don't you?" said Yu Xiangyi, her face turning quite ugly.

Ye Fan snapped his fingers and said, "Anyone who eats sushi regularly generally knows the composition of sushi! Generally speaking, a complete set of sushi consists principally of five parts: Saint Relics, seed, tear, purple, and ginger."

"You actually know about this?" Yu Xiangyi was surprised.

She had heard about the composition of sushi from some Dongying clients before, and it was indeed exactly as Ye Fan described.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Since I know that sushi originated from our country, I naturally also know the composition of sushi!"

"Fine then! Analyze for me why this isn't a top-grade sushi!" Yu Xiangyi scoffed.

Ye Fan cleared his throat and said, "I'll say it only once, listen carefully!"

"I'm all ears!" Bi Yuntao said with a dark face.

On the verge of exploding, he made up his mind that if Ye Fan couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, he would beat Ye Fan to the point where even his parents wouldn't recognize him.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Fan picked up a piece of sushi and said lightly, "The Saint Relics of sushi, frankly speaking, is just white rice. Authentic Saint Relics not only have a pure white appearance but also a faint scent of vinegar. Smell for yourselves—do you not even get a whiff of vinegar, let alone the scent of vinegar?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Bi Yuntao and Yu Xiangyi were stunned, and the anger on their faces gradually faded.

The two sat down and, following Ye Fan's instructions, each picked up a piece of sushi and sniffed it, indeed not even smelling a hint of vinegar.

"What does this prove? Just because there's no vinegar scent, it's not top-grade sushi?" Bi Yuntao yelled, questioning.

Yu Xiangyi echoed, "That's right, even without the vinegar scent, this is still top-grade sushi!" .net

"It's not just this one point!"

Ye Fan smiled and continued slowly, "Then let's talk about the second point, the 'seed' of sushi. What is 'seed'? Simply put, it's the layer of ingredients that covers the sushi! These ingredients are mainly slices of fresh fish, and it's said that the fresh fish slices covering top-grade sushi are from tuna and salmon caught the same day!"

```

"Take a close look, the fish wrapped on top of this sushi isn't very delicate, the color isn't vibrant, and it looks utterly lifeless. I can say with certainty without going into details, the fish used here is frozen!"

"Frozen?" Su Ruoxue asked, her face a picture of surprise.

She took a closer look and quickly noticed the signs.

Having cooked at home for years, Su Ruoxue could generally tell the difference between live fish and chicken, and now she could confirm that Ye Fan was right; the fish was not fresh.

Yu Xiangyi said with a cold face, "Ye Fan, here in Central Plains City, do you know how long it takes to transport fresh fish from the coast to the Mainland? Besides, with Great River Japanese Cuisine doing such brisk business, how could they possibly serve you sushi made from fish fresh out of the water?"

"So, are you admitting that this fish isn't fresh?" Ye Fan asked.

Yu Xiangyi's face turned icy; she offered no rebuttal, and Bi Yuntao didn't speak either, though his brow was deeply furrowed.

Ye Fan smiled and continued, "The next point is about the 'tears of sushi,' and what are those? Two words, 'dipping sauce'!"

"Usually, top-quality sushi is dipped in the finest wasabi sauce. Although mustard sauce and wasabi sauce taste similar, the latter's freshness cannot be replaced. It's clear that this sushi uses mustard sauce instead of wasabi."

"Nonsense!" Yu Xiangyi rebuked sharply.

Having eaten plenty of premium sushi in Dongying, she knew that the dipping sauce used in such sushi is wasabi sauce.

Great River Japanese Cuisine, being the top Japanese restaurant in Central Plains, how could they possibly substitute mustard sauce for wasabi?

Ye Fan said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, you can go and verify for yourselves!"

"Waiter!" Yu Xiangyi called out with a frosty face.

The nearby waiter quickly approached and asked, "Miss, how can I assist you?"

"Is the dipping sauce used for this sushi wasabi sauce or mustard sauce?" Yu Xiangyi pointed at the sushi and asked with a chilling tone.

The waiter was taken aback by the question. "Miss, I really don't know that; we're only in charge of service, not the cuisine!"

"Alright then, call your head chef over!" Yu Xiangyi demanded.

"Miss, please wait a moment!"

Seeing Yu Xiangyi's unfriendly expression, the waiter hurried towards the kitchen.

A minute later, a middle-aged man dressed as a head chef came forward and said, "Miss, I am Matsui Ichirou, head chef of Great River Japanese Cuisine. What seems to be the problem?"

"Is the dipping sauce used in your sushi wasabi sauce or mustard sauce?" Yu Xiangyi asked coldly.

Head chef Matsui Ichirou hesitated, but in the end, he confessed, "Miss, all the dipping sauces we use at Great River Japanese Cuisine are made with mustard sauce!"

"What? Mustard sauce?" Yu Xiangyi's expression changed dramatically.

Matsui Ichirou continued, "Miss, you must understand that wasabi sauce is much more expensive to produce than mustard sauce. While we at Great River Japanese Cuisine take a high-end approach, our prices are not unreasonable! Moreover, premium wasabi has to be ordered from within Dongying, and with the quantity of sushi we sell here every day, even if we ordered it, it wouldn't be enough!"

"So, we switched to using mustard sauce instead five years ago. Rest assured, miss, substituting mustard for wasabi doesn't significantly affect the taste of the sushi!"

"Is it really... mustard sauce?" Yu Xiangyi felt like she had received a massive blow to the head, her mind completely boggled.

Bi Yuntao looked utterly disheveled, never having dreamt that Ye Fan could identify the dipping sauce used in the sushi just by a glance.

Watching the two with their dazed expressions, Ye Fan teased, "Saint Relics, tears, and dipping sauce; none of them are premium ingredients. Pray tell, how can this be considered premium sushi?"
