Chapter 403 - Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Cooperation Relationship (2/2)
Chen Yu didn’t immediately go back to the inn; instead, he sat down in front of a small stall.
When he first got here, he had set his sights on this stall. Although they sold only simple fried cakes, the scent wafting from the place had plunged Chen Yu into nostalgia.
The stall owner used top-quality ingredients, and even added precious medicinal materials like ginseng and deer antler in the mix.
After all, in the Dongming Canyon, even the simplest snacks could be transformed into a deluxe treat.
A single fried cake here actually cost two liang of gold.
Chen Yu didn’t fuss over the price and directly bought ten.
Jin Lingsu, without any hesitation, sat to one side and started eating, taking five fried cakes for herself.
“Really, this thing is delicious, fragrant, soft, flaky, and crisp,” she said.
Chen Yu took a bite but frowned immediately.
The taste was good indeed, but there were too many ingredients mixed in, making it a bit cluttered.
For someone with a weaker constitution, just one bite would cause them to bleed from all orifices.
“Boss, can you make a more ordinary fried cake?” he asked.
The stall owner’s face changed dramatically, and from nowhere, he produced a pair of tongs.
“This young man must be here to cause trouble. My fried cakes are the best in Dongming Canyon. You ask for ordinary, are you looking down on me?” he protested.
Chen Yu sighed and walked over to the stove.
“I’m not here to wreck your stall; I just want to taste an ordinary fried cake. If you’re unwilling to make one, then I’ll have to do it myself,” he said.
The stall owner was furious. No one else had ever touched his stove.
The tongs in his hand came smashing down, aiming straight for Chen Yu’s shoulder.
To his surprise, the tongs broke in two and fell to the ground.
The stall owner’s eyes bulged, unable to believe that Chen Yu’s body could be so strong.
Jin Lingsu stood up, her gold spike resting against the stall owner’s throat.
“Mr. Chen is a former chef champion of the entire world. Using your stove to make some fried cakes is an honor for you. Don’t be ungrateful,” she said.
The stall owner jumped at the sudden confrontation, but upon hearing ‘world-class chef,’ he became excited.
“So, you are a chef too! I thought there were no other chefs left in Dongming Canyon,” he said.
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback, interpreting from the stall owner’s response that, to him, a world-class chef was just another chef.
“Boss, have you ever won a culinary championship yourself?” Chen Yu inquired.
The stall owner laughed heartily, moving away the gold spike without any show of inferiority or arrogance.
“Thirty years ago, I was the champion at the chef competition in Frankfurt. Unfortunately, I was sabotaged afterward, lost my sense of taste, and ended up a wanderer,” he shared.
Chen Yu was immediately intrigued and had his system scan the stall owner’s brain information.
