Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Syndrome of Dry-Heat
“My goodness, how did you do that? This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone turn fried rice into a golden color!”
“What are those red and green things? They’re so pretty!”
“Why do I smell a sweet fruit scent?”
…
Just as the crowd gathered around, those two burly men had already embraced two servings of fried rice and were wolfing it down.
In fact, these two people’s requirements weren’t very high; all they wanted was a certain feeling from the taste.
Chen Yu had known at first glance that the two men were suffering from a heat-related illness due to the hot weather.
Although this illness didn’t cause any substantive harm to the human body, it could make a person’s sense of taste deviate temporarily.
Some people, after catching this illness, even developed a severe case and would eat things like sand or even rust.
Chen Yu had simply added some heat-relieving sour plums to the fried rice, allowing them to fully integrate with the starch in the rice, creating a new flavor.
It not only stimulated their taste buds but also cured their heat-related illness.
The two men suddenly looked at Chen Yu with excited eyes.
“Is there more? I can eat ten more bowls!”
Chen Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow; where was he going to make that much food in such a short time?
The plums and other seasonings were all local specialties, but the main staple food for the locals wasn’t rice but baked starch foods like bread.
The rice used for the fried rice just now was some leftovers from the owner himself.
Before Chen Yu could speak, the owner suddenly grabbed his arm.
“Sir, could you do me a favor and make some more fried rice? You can keep all the profits from tonight!”
Chen Yu frowned, as he had only intended to help out as a convenience, not to get himself roped in.
But when he saw the people before him, he felt a surge of compassion.
Like those two burly men, they all had varying degrees of heat-related illness and could potentially face problems if not treated promptly.
Without saying much more, he turned and entered the kitchen, where the owner quickly took out two bags of rice.
This was his treasured stock!
After all, not many shops in this area had rice.

Hearing the system’s notifications, Chen Yu felt a bit of relief; at least there was some gain.
Ever since the system upgraded, he hadn’t heard the daily point tally chimes anymore.
However, thankfully, although the points seemed very few now, the value brought by each point was much greater than before.
It wasn’t long before he steamed three pots of rice, processed the rice a bit, and then started stir-frying it in the pan.
The customers outside had already become impatient, forming a long queue at the entrance of the small shop.
Other passersby also stopped in their tracks, some even inexplicably lining up as well.

…
As more than a hundred servings of fried rice were sold, Chen Yu accumulated over two hundred points.

Moreover, he had taught the owner how to make this plum fried rice.
Even as he left, the points continued to steadily accumulate.
