Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Traditional Stir-Fried Liver

The scene suddenly descended into chaos as a large number of rescue helicopters arrived one after another.

Chen Yu heard the commotion behind him and immediately returned.

The car crash site was a complete mess, with a dozen racers trapped in the wreckage of their vehicles, unable to crawl out.

Chen Yu frowned as he closely observed the scene and noticed that a stone had appeared in the middle of a bend, embedded in the road surface.

It seemed someone had deliberately placed a stone there.

Without concerning himself with the details, Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help rescue all the racers, setting their bones and treating their wounds until the doctors arrived to provide further treatment.

The normally predictable race and its associated earnings were already calculated, but now with such a serious accident, it was likely that all profits would go down the drain.

Inside a hall at the race control center, a group of bosses sat with grave expressions.

"Mr. Chen, we have already clarified that there was a stone on the track that shouldn't have been there," one said.

"It's obvious someone is sabotaging us; we must investigate this thoroughly!"

"Actually, it's not hard to investigate. We have national-level drivers in our team, and there's a world-class race in a couple of days. Now, our national-level drivers are all seriously injured and have no way to participate."

"Right, how could I have not thought of that; these people are really ruthless."

…

Chen Yu sat on the side, silent.

He had not wanted to get involved in the business to begin with, and since the accident had nothing to do with him, he saw no need to speak.

Just then, a junior assistant hurried over to Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, there's someone looking for you outside!"

Chen Yu nodded and headed straight out the door.

Jin Lingsu was standing not too far away, smiling and waving at Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu little brother!"

This almost enchantingly seductive call made Chen Yu stumble.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Yu asked, his brow furrowed, as every encounter with this woman had never boded well.

"I'm just traveling, took a turn around here, and found the local snacks to be not so great. They're not even as tasty as the big pot meal you make," she said.

Chen Yu didn't believe her, but his look toward Jin Lingsu contained more fear than before.

"How did you know I was here?"

Jin Lingsu spread her hands, "I heard that someone has cured several big shots from the capital one after another in a top private hospital. It wasn't hard to guess it was you."

Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless and subconsciously looked back at the hall behind him, then at Jin Lingsu.

Maybe going out with Jin Lingsu for a stroll would indeed be more relaxing than staying here.

"That's because you haven't found the special local snacks. I'll take you to a place!"

Having said that, Chen Yu drove over and took Jin Lingsu to a dilapidated alley.

As evening approached, street food stalls began to set up one after another in the alley.

Upon their arrival, a rich fragrance wafted through the air.

"Wow, you really know where to go! I've been wandering around here for days and hadn't discovered such a great spot in the capital," Jin Lingsu said, clapping her hands and running excitedly into the alley.

Chen Yu parked the car and followed inside.

This alley had at least two hundred years of history, and all shops opening here were old brands of the imperial capital.

As for those so-called delicacies outside, they all originated from this place.

The first shop in the alley was a stir-fried liver shop, run by an elderly man nearing his sixties.

His stir-fried liver was a genuine family secret recipe, selling only five hundred bowls a day, each priced at five hundred yuan. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Even so, his stir-fried liver would sell out every day.

Jin Lingsu followed the scent straight into the shop.

"Boss, give me a bowl of stir-fried liver!"

The owner, hearing the shout, came out somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry, but today's stir-fried liver has all been reserved, and I'm about to close the shop!"

Jin Lingsu's mouth dropped open: "Old man, I came all this way to eat here, you can't make me leave on an empty stomach."

The owner was also helpless; he was getting on in years, and his child didn't want to learn his craft, so the whole shop rested on his shoulders alone.

With his current physical and mental stamina, he could only make five hundred bowls a day, not one more.

Chen Yu also smiled. He hadn't expected Jin Lingsu's first culinary stop in the alley to be the stir-fried liver.

When he first came to the capital to exchange learning skills, he also came for the famed stir-fried liver, but despite lining up for several days, he never managed to get a bowl.

"Old man, how about this, I see you've got some ingredients left over. You don't need to do any work yourself, let me do it, how about that?"

The old man looked Chen Yu up and down, eyes filled with wariness.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to let Chen Yu cook; rather, there had been someone who insisted on cooking stir-fried liver in his shop before, and the result was not tasty, even spilling dirty water on him.

If it were not for his hundred-year-old brand to back him up, the shop might have been shut down by the relevant authorities.

"Young man, you can cook if you want, but we'll need to sign a contract in advance. Whatever the taste of the stir-fried liver you make, you can't blame me."

Chen Yu, of course, knew about the shop's past incidents, and without hesitation, he wrote up a contract and pressed his handprint on it.

After the old man confirmed there was nothing wrong with the contract, he let Chen Yu into the kitchen.

Only five minutes had passed when the old man suddenly perked up, looking towards the kitchen with disbelief.

The scent wafting out was extraordinarily fragrant, many times more so than the liver he stewed using the secret recipe.

It wasn't long before Chen Yu emerged with two bowls of stir-fried liver and two flatbreads.

The old man's eyes nearly popped out; this stir-fried liver was equal to their secret family recipe and seemed to have a few extra spices added.

"Young man, how on earth did you make this stir-fried liver?"

Chen Yu replied with a polite smile, "It's just some simple seasonings; I only changed the ratio and order of them."

The old man's interest was piqued, "May I have a taste?"

Chen Yu appeared very generous, handing over his own bowl directly.

The old man couldn't wait to take a bite, enlivening as if rejuvenated, with even the wrinkles on his face seeming to unfold one by one.

"Delicious! Reducing the proportion of aniseed, using some Sichuan pepper as a substitute, and the proportion of chili pepper is just perfect, marvelous!"

Chen Yu didn't say much, just sitting there, biting into a flatbread.

The flatbread was also a unique item in the shop, but Chen Yu almost knew how it was made after just a couple of bites.
