Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Wingsuit Enthusiast

Er Gou’s spirit had reached the peak of bewilderment; he had never imagined Chen Yu could be so formidable.

Back when Chen Yu had climbed the cliff with his bare hands, Er Gou had realized Chen Yu was skilled, which is why he had brought a few more people along, all armed with weapons.

But to his surprise, these men were no match for Chen Yu, who knocked them to the ground swiftly and efficiently.

“Big brother, I know I was wrong,” Er Gou begged for mercy. “From now on, do whatever you want here; I won’t interfere. If there’s anything you need, I’m ready to go through fire and water for you, no shirking.”

Er Gou kept pleading, as if one less word spoken would result in Chen Yu throwing him off the cliff.

Chen Yu didn’t waste much time there; he tossed the large bag of medicine onto a truck by the roadside, took the keys from Er Gou, and drove straight to the shipment station.

Though the batch of medicinal herbs didn’t appear extensive, they were all extremely pure and valuable, any of which could potentially fetch a sky-high price at an auction if sold separately.

Therefore, he had to send all the medicinal herbs back as quickly as possible.

After making a call to Hou Jianchang and detailing some specifics, he proceeded to a small restaurant near the shipment station.

The people of Nanyun have a habit of enjoying various oddities.

These delicacies all share one common trait: bizarre flavors.

Strange-flavored broad beans were one such specialty.

Chen Yu sat down at a small stall and casually ordered a bowl of noodles.

He had expected them to be just ordinary noodles, but upon tasting the first bite, the sweet and spicy flavors melded together and shot straight to his forehead.

And on the surface of the noodles was sprinkled a layer of finely chopped vegetable leaves.

They seemed to be a unique type of coriander local to the area.

After getting used to it a little, Chen Yu took another couple of bites and rapidly analyzed the ingredients of the noodles in his mind.

Before long, he had memorized the complete recipe.

To say the noodles had a strange flavor was an understatement, but their texture was excellent, and they could be easily incorporated with various medicinal herbs to create an ideal base for medicinal dishes.

Just then, the owner of the shop approached with a smile and sat across from Chen Yu.

“By the look of it, you seem to be a connoisseur,” said the owner. “Rarely does anyone savor my noodles with their eyes closed in such appreciation.”

Chen Yu felt slightly embarrassed; his actions could almost be considered stealing the trade.

“I’m just experiencing this flavor for the first time and wanted to appreciate it fully. At best, I’m just a food lover, far from a connoisseur,” he replied.

The owner chuckled and signaled to his staff to bring over another bowl.

“Frankly, these noodles are but an ordinary dish here, nothing special. Maybe you find them delicious because you’re trying them for the first time. Anyway, we locals are quite used to them.”

Chen Yu expressed his thanks and returned to eating, while the owner brought over two more side dishes.

These pickled vegetables were clearly homemade by the owner, carrying a Sichuan flavor combined with Nanyun’s unique twist.

Chen Yu subconsciously reconstructed the recipes for these side dishes in his mind, knowing that in Suzhou City, they would be considered specialty dishes.

After eating his fill, Chen Yu bought a large load of supplies and headed towards the fort.

By the time he arrived at the edge of the cliff, he found Da Hu already sitting there with a few people from the village waiting.

Before leaving, he had already agreed with the chief on the time to deliver the supplies, and now the timing was just perfect.
