Chapter 197 – 197: Cinema

“Wow, this flavor is so unique!”

Two middle school students who had just finished school came bouncing over, sniffing excitedly.

They were also regular customers of the shop, and every day at this time, a large number of middle school students would come here to buy food after school.

Mostly they were buying for their families, but over time they also grew fond of the meals here.

Especially the fish fillets introduced these past two days, the flavor was even better than many fast-food chains.

Now, suddenly smelling this refreshing aroma, they naturally gathered around.

Chen Yu looked up at the students in front of him and directly handed out a small meal with two shrimp cakes.

“You two are the first customers this afternoon, so these two shrimp cakes are on me.”

The students immediately lit up with excitement, having an instinctual trust in the new products introduced in Chen Yu’s shop.

And the scent from before was so distinctive that they both started drooling, promptly popping the shrimp cakes into their mouths.

“Wow, this is so delicious, Boss Chen, can I buy ten?”

“Of course, you can!” Chen Yu immediately took out a sign and set it up: “Two yuan each! And for today, there’s no limit on supply, all the way until eight o’clock!”

With these words, the customers present became excited, and a long line quickly formed.

Shrimp cakes, shrimp balls, vegetable dumplings—all kinds of greasy fried snacks had a refreshing twist at Chen Yu’s place.

The vendors nearby were so jealous they were practically gnashing their teeth. They thought they could steal the business by blocking the entrance to Chen Yu’s shop, but he simply set up shop imitating their own and reopened for business.

That move directly put a dent in their sales.

Wang Qingshan was still standing at the entrance, with He Hua and Liu Tong by his side.

The two girls each held a broom and were ready to rush out at any signs of trouble.

Chen Yu, however, was not worried at all since the system had already provided an analysis.

These people were just merchants who had moved away under the pressure of his shop before.

But they couldn’t bear leaving Suzhou City’s market, so they banded together, attempting to play some tricks to give Chen Yu a hard time.

Little did they know that Chen Yu, apart from excelling at marinated food and breakfast items, could in such a short time learn and even transform what they had perfected over decades as their special tricks.

These fried snacks usually relied on the flavor of being deep-fried.

As a result, many would recklessly add oil, even mixing different kinds to ensure the flavor of the snacks.

But this also made the food greasy.

Chen Yu, however, fundamentally changed the taste of these fried foods, making them not only crispy and delicious but also cutting down on the greasiness.

As time passed, almost everyone present was queuing at Chen Yu’s cart.

The other stalls had no one paying any attention to them, with some people even throwing away their purchases after a couple of bites and then obediently joining the line at Chen Yu’s.

The disheartened stall owners sighed, exchanged glances, and reluctantly pushed their carts away.

They knew that the market no longer belonged to them.

At seven in the evening, there was still a huge crowd at the entrance to the shop.

Wang Qingshan, Li Gang, and Ning Kai were now out helping since the flow of people coming for dinner had started to decline at this hour.
