Chapter 229 - Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Secret Recipe Roast Chicken (2/2)
The reason this roast chicken shop has stood for two hundred years in the capital is because of their secret sauce recipe, which no one has been able to decode to this day.
Chen Yu didn’t concern himself with that; he simply picked up various seasonings from the side and began to mix them up.
However, as he was preparing the ingredients, the shop owner suddenly froze beside him.
The ingredients Chen Yu was mixing were identical to his secret recipe, even the order and the quantities were controlled with extreme precision.
Moreover, Chen Yu had made some improvements that could greatly enhance the flavor of the ingredients.
The owner watched, dumbfounded, convinced he had never seen Chen Yu before, especially since Chen Yu had only taken one bite of his roast chicken.
The owner’s breathing became rapid at that moment, but his hands did not fumble at all, quickly preparing the sauce and applying it to the roast chicken.
But as it roasted, the owner noticed something else.
Chen Yu was constantly adjusting the temperature based on different parts of the chicken.
In less than twenty minutes, a rich aroma wafted from Chen Yu’s direction, and when he took out the roast chicken, all the customers on-site gasped in surprise.
Compared to the shop’s roast chicken, Chen Yu’s had a golden-brown hue, like gold; the sauce on top was extremely even, and most of it had already seeped into the meat.
At this point, the owner couldn’t care less about anything else and stepped forward to tear off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
The crisp exterior and tender interior won over the owner instantly.
“Brother, how the hell did you cook this chicken? Can you sell me the recipe?”
Chen Yu frowned, wondering why everyone kept asking him for the recipe when he had just casually grilled the chicken.
“I used your shop’s recipe; I analyzed your approach and sauce after just one bite of the roast chicken. I just made some improvements during the cooking process!”
The words were already quite modest, immediately making the owner feel mortified.
Just then, the owner of the neighboring fried liver shop came rushing over.
“Ah! I’m too late. I knew you, with your stubborn head, would definitely want to compete with him.”
The roast chicken owner widened his eyes, looking at the fried liver shop owner with an inexplicable gaze.
“What do you mean by that? Did he also make fried liver in your shop?”
The fried liver shop owner sighed helplessly: “This gentleman is probably a culinary genius. I saw him enter your shop earlier and was worried you’d try to compete with him. I rushed over to dissuade you, but it seems I’m still too late.”
The roast chicken owner was mortified, but before he could speak, Chen Yu had already left the shop.
Jin Lingsu, on her way out, casually took the roast chicken that Chen Yu had cooked.
“Chen Yu, I never thought you’d be able to cook like this. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come out. We could have just found a spot for you to cook for me.”
Chen Yu stopped in his tracks, pondering for a moment.
“Well then, let’s find somewhere to camp.”
