Chapter 197: Chapter 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. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

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.

They were not as busy anymore.

It did not take long for Chen Yu to teach the three of them the skills required to make these homemade foods.

However, those items could not be made using semi-finished products, as that would cause them to lose their crispness and refreshing taste.

Having just launched this new product today, they naturally provided an unlimited supply, but after today, they would have to supply a fixed quantity.

At 8:30 pm, after closing the shop, Chen Yu took Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan to the nearby cinema.

Tuan Tuan was just recovering from a serious illness, and Chen Yu had to take her out for some entertainment no matter what.

He had also booked tickets for a trip to the holiday resort for tomorrow.

At this time, many people came to see the late-night movies, mostly couples, so there were many venues specifically set up for couples at the entrance.

As soon as the family of three got there, they were stuffed with all sorts of flyers.

Private cinemas, family playgrounds, and all kinds of inexplicable projects were advertised.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, "Does this count as receiving the full-package service?"

Tong Ya pouted, looking somewhat gloomily at the flyer in her hand.

"These guys, if they put the effort they used for printing flyers into running their shops, maybe their business could do better and better."

Tuan Tuan, on the other hand, was attracted by the family playground project on the flyer: "Dad, why has our shop never printed such beautiful flyers?"

Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless; his shop simply had no need to print flyers!

Tong Ya also scratched Tuan Tuan's nose: "Dad's shop's flavor is the best advertisement!"

Chen Yu smiled, found a trash can, and threw all the flyers into it.

He then took Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan into the cinema's elevator.

Entering the elevator with them was a middle-aged man and a little boy.

The two seemed like father and son, but the boy's face had an inexplicable look of panic.

The man had a noticeable scar at the corner of his eye, which looked somewhat terrifying at first glance.

Chen Yu frowned involuntarily, giving the little boy a few more glances subconsciously.

A large amount of psychological knowledge quickly appeared in his mind, which he then matched with the little boy's situation one by one.

In almost an instant, Chen Yu could ascertain that the two in front of him were not real father and son, and that they had likely not met each other before this.

As soon as the elevator reached the fourth floor, the man took the little boy to the counter, where they bought two movie tickets and two popcorn combo sets.

"Honey, why are you staring at those people?" Tong Ya quietly asked Chen Yu, leaning close to his ear.

Chen Yu grabbed Tong Ya's hand and squeezed it slightly, signaling her to be silent, then went to pick up the tickets and also bought a popcorn combo.

Just as they were about to enter the theatre, they suddenly noticed a man at another entrance of the cinema looking hurried and disoriented, holding a box and even carrying a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Chen Yu understood immediately-it was a kidnapping!

"Ya Ya, you take Tuan Tuan over there, I have something to handle!"

Tong Ya did not ask further questions and quickly took Tuan Tuan to the corner, her eyes filling with increased vigilance.

Chen Yu slowly approached the three individuals.

As he moved closer, the scar-faced man suddenly acted, grabbing the child in his grip and looking coldly at the man with the box.
