Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Market Survey
That evening, Chen Yu left the castle immediately and headed to the busiest commercial street in Frankfurt.
This street is world-famous, for it’s said that one can see over ninety percent of the world’s goods here, as well as witness over seventy percent of the world’s cultural phenomena.
When Chen Yu arrived, he was instantly captivated by everything around him, not only catching a glimpse of the Malaysian grass skirt dance but also the Native American cultural festivals.
Even the tribes from many small regions in Asia had set up stalls to sell their unique cultural wares.
The street was overflowing with an uncountable variety of delicious foods, and Chen Yu had seen hundreds of different dishes within just ten meters of walking.
Just then, Chen Yu spotted a group of extremely short people with dark skin, clearly from some primitive tribe, selling food called “chocolate bugs”!
During the production of chocolate, it’s inevitable for some bugs to appear, and these bugs are what’s referred to as chocolate bugs.
The chocolate produced by these primitive tribes was pure, yet distinct from any other kind of chocolate.
Not only were the bugs ten times larger than normal, but the liquid oozing from their bodies was a bizarre red with a hint of green.
There were already a few people at the stall tasting the food, though most people kept their distance.
After all, no sane person would eat mashed bugs.
However, as Chen Yu approached, he could smell an incredibly rich sweet scent.
He ignored the terrified looks from those nearby and sat down without hesitation, ordering a portion of the chocolate bugs.
The stall owner became excited, first praising Chen Yu’s courage, and then promptly crushed ten live bugs and placed them in front of Chen Yu.
At first sight of this, Chen Yu felt a bit queasy, but when he put some of the liquid on his tongue, he was utterly amazed.
The bugs must have been raised on cocoa trees from a young age, fed on cocoa beans.
Once they reached a certain size, the tribal people would capture them and feed them special spices and sugar cane.
After ingesting these ingredients, the bugs underwent a reaction that soon turned their bodily fluids into a substance akin to chocolate.
At the end of the day, this was truly a natural delicacy, and Chen Yu, thrilled, devoured two large bowls of it.
While he was enjoying the exotic delicacy, a few people suddenly came over and rudely smashed the tribal people’s stall to pieces.
“You idiots who only know how to do the grass skirt dance, what right do you have to set up a stall here? Take your disgusting stuff and get lost, or else we’ll beat you to death!”
Chen Yu frowned, surprised to encounter such bullying and unreasonable behavior in this place.
To his astonishment, the tribal people obediently began to pack up their things.
Just as they were about to leave, Chen Yu suddenly stood up and stopped them, turning to look at the troublemakers.
“If I’m not mistaken, these people have their own business license, and they’ve paid the rent for this spot as well, so why can’t they set up a stall here?”
The men sized Chen Yu up and down and burst into laughter.
“I thought you were something special, but it turns out you’re just another barbarian. You must have eaten their bugs just now, right? To swallow something so disgusting, indeed, you’re as revolting as they are!”
Chen Yu could no longer tolerate it and stood up abruptly, his fists clenched, and slammed one fiercely into the leader’s face.
The scene instantly descended into chaos, and that bunch of guys immediately took out distinct whistles and started blowing them.
