Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Bluffing and Deceiving

Chen Yu understood profoundly while in university what it meant for knowledge to create value.

A male student from his department had, by acquiring several professional certificates, been able to earn over a hundred thousand per month by simply hanging his certificates on the wall.

Now, Chen Yu's mind was filled with a vast amount of knowledge, which had reached the limits of human cognition.

If he could make good use of this knowledge, his wealth would increase exponentially.

It seemed necessary to consider acquiring more certificates in the future.

After returning to the villa, Tuan Tuan had already gone to sleep, and Chen Yu carefully took her back to her room before he and Tong Ya returned to their own to sleep.

The next morning at six o'clock, Chen Yu and Tong Ya arrived at the shop together.

By then, the whole shop was already running smoothly and in order.

Ning Kai and Li Gang, with the help of a few young girls, had cleaned all the ingredients, and some had even been processed into semi-finished products.

This would greatly accelerate the efficiency of serving dishes.

They had even prepared several large pots, planning to cook in advance some of the dishes that were in high demand the previous day and keep them heated.

It was no surprise that Ning Kai and Li Gang, being master chefs, had come up with adaptive measures in just one day.

Even when Chen Yu arrived, there was no need for him to put his hands to work, at most he could offer guidance on some skill-based aspects.

"Old Chen, I saw you on TV yesterday; you were incredibly cool! I had no idea you could race."

Li Gang patted Chen Yu's shoulder excitedly, their relationship had grown much closer now.

Chen Yu smiled, "Driving is just like cooking, as long as you're focused, you can do anything well."

As they were talking, a group of oddly dressed people suddenly appeared at the door.

"There is something unclean in this shop, please leave immediately!"

An elderly man shouted through a megaphone, and the entire shop fell silent.

"Only the supreme divine flames can purify everything here; if you immerse your minds and hearts, I can lead you into a new world."

Chen Yu's eyes widened in astonishment; he truly had not expected someone to dare to preach theology right in front of him.

The theological knowledge in his head had reached the limit of what mankind currently knew.

He naturally understood the so-called truths within.

True theology seeks after the original heart and cultivates one's nature.

In a sense, theology is an ultimate form of cultivating the mind and character for well-being.

These people in front of him were obviously scammers.

Just then, Zhang Fan rushed hurriedly into the shop.

"Old Chen! You should come out quickly and pay your respects to these masters; they're amazing, they just cleansed my entire shop."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected Zhang Fan to be duped as well.

Helpless, he stepped forward toward these so-called masters.

"May I ask, what exactly is the 'dirty thing' you were talking about just now?"

The middle-aged man leading the group put down the megaphone, then extended his right hand, and a ball of purple flame rose up in his palm.

The customers in the shop were stunned, and some even showed devout expressions, wanting to step forward and worship.

Chen Yu was unimpressed; this was just a matter of applying a layer of alcohol to the hand and then sprinkling potassium permanganate around it before setting it on fire.

The flame that the reaction produced was purple!

Such tricks are even used in magic shows, yet these guys were playing with them so enthusiastically.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, didn't say much, and just walked into the kitchen by himself. He found some salad oil and some Chinese herbal medicines.

He ground the Chinese herbal medicines into a powder, mixed them with the salad oil, and smeared it on his hands before lighting it with the gas stove.

Then he walked out of the kitchen with a pale blue flame in his hand.

"You guys are really something, scamming people with such simple tricks. Do you want me to change the flame through all the colors for you?"

The so-called masters were immediately stunned, staring blankly at Chen Yu.

Zhang Fan's eyes widened too: "Old Chen, how did you do that?"

Chen Yu shook the flame off his hand and patted Zhang Fan on the shoulder.

"Old Zhang, you're supposed to be a top student in mechanical engineering, how could you be duped by these guys? With a little bit of chemical reagents, not to mention flames of various colors, I could even make water fly!"

Zhang Fan smacked his head hard: "Ouch, back in school, I was really good at physics and chemistry! How could my brain have degraded after just a few years of working?"

The delivery riders in the shop had also realized what was going on and surged forward, surrounding the so-called masters in the center.

"I know them, they were swindling people in the east of the city not long ago, and it seems that quite a few people were tricked."

"Call the authorities to take them away, these guys are too despicable, actually daring to scam their way over to Boss Chen's place."

"Boss Chen is proficient in medicine, not to mention his knowledge of chemistry, these people are simply playing the lute to a cow."

...

In no time, these people were drowned in a barrage of spit.

The ringleader saw that things were going south and tried to run, but was forcefully held down to the ground by two delivery guys at the door.

The authorities were also surprised when they arrived.

These kinds of fraud techniques hadn't been used for many years, and yet these guys had the audacity to use them so publicly.

Chen Yu was also incredibly frustrated, these people seemed no different from lunatics in his eyes.

The officials praised Chen Yu as they left, saying that he had a keen awareness of anti-fraud.

Zhang Fan also felt a bit scared afterward. He had been too busy at that moment, plus having been up for two days straight, his IQ wasn't at its best.

He nearly got scammed out of over two hundred thousand.

At twelve noon, the shop's foot traffic peaked, and Ning Kai and Li Gang were clearly overwhelmed. Chen Yu had to jump in to help.

"Boss, give me a crab meat lion's head!" A familiar voice suddenly rang out at the window.

There stood Tang Xiaowei and Su Rui, looking charming at the entrance.

Su Rui had her face covered with sunglasses and a mask, wrapped up tightly.

Looking like this, she must have become popular again!

Chen Yu smiled, "Besides crab meat lion's head, what else would you like to eat?" S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Su Rui leaned over the counter, "Can you make Beijing-style dishes?"

Chen Yu furrowed his brow slightly. Beijing-style cuisine had initially branched out from Shandong cuisine, then evolved through the fusion of various culinary styles.

According to the Shandong cuisine recipes, he could make most of the Beijing-style dishes but he wasn't really good at some of the more distinctive ones.

"I haven't studied that specifically! It depends on what you specifically want to eat."
