Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Flying Dragon Pastry

What was presented before everyone was a seemingly ordinary plate of crispy fried butter cake, yet the aroma wafting from it was utterly enticing, and surprisingly, the cake had many unusual patterns within it.

Anyone who had cooked before knew that when making a crispy cake, due to fermentation, there would invariably be some cracks.

But during the cooking process, Chen Yu managed to transform these cracks into patterns, which looked quite aesthetic and grand.

The middle-aged man nearby was now overwhelmingly busy, already sweating profusely.

His hands became frantic, and while adjusting the sauce, he accidentally messed up some of the proportions, and could only start anew.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, seemed calm and collected, frying up a large pot and placing it on his stall for the people on this street to taste at will.

"My God, what on earth is this? Not only is it crisp and refreshing, but it also has a soothing flavor, and once eaten, it feels very comfortable in the stomach."

"My God, I've never sweated before, and now I'm actually sweating, and it feels like all the pores on my body have been opened, it's so amazing!"

...

The scene instantly boiled over, with everyone praising the crispy butter cakes made by Chen Yu.

Actually, cooking with insects was practiced only by a very few ethnic groups and in remote areas; such dishes from insects were generally scoffed at in a modern metropolis like this one.

However, during his cooking, Chen Yu masterfully minced the centipedes along with the other ingredients, incorporating them into the dough, and then frying it until crisp.

In this way, the customers wouldn't see the centipedes while eating. Experience new stories with m v|-NovelFire.net

It wasn't until after everyone on the street had finished the crispy cakes that the middle-aged man managed to cook a turkey.

Though the turkey appeared golden and crispy on the surface, it had to be eaten with sauce, as due to the turkey's large size, it was impossible for all the seasonings to permeate into the meat during cooking.

Moreover, turkey meat is naturally tough, and no matter how it's cooked, it's challenging to make it truly delicious.

When the middle-aged man presented the roasted turkey before everyone, all of them furrowed their brows, as they had already enjoyed the delicious fried crispy cakes and couldn't possibly be interested in this turkey.

"I personally think this gentleman from the East has a culinary skill that surpasses all of us, how about this, let's let this gentleman decide everything about tonight's affairs!"

Someone shouted, and people nearby started to echo and stir, swiftly elevating Chen Yu to an extremely high status.

Chen Yu didn't stand on ceremony and readily accepted the accolades.

After all, no one had the natives' back, but fortunately, he had gained such authority, which was also considered helping these indigenous people out of their plight.

After briefly adjusting his breath, everyone helped the natives set up their stall once again and even taught them some methods of making insect dishes.

Actually, insect cuisine had existed in this world for thousands of years, with Sichuan cuisine having a specialized branch of insect dishes.

Chen Yu's mind was already full of the complete recipes and methods of Sichuan cuisine, and naturally, he was very proficient in insect dishes as well.

Before long, the native's stall became the most popular on the entire street.

In three hours, all sorts of insects brought by the natives were sold out.

But just as they were about to leave, a burly man suddenly blocked their way.

"A few measly bugs, I don't believe they can taste that good, actually beating our family's heirloom turkey!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown and took a closer look at the man in front of him, realizing that the person standing behind him was the one who had competed with him earlier.

"I say, the people here really go back on their word, huh? Didn't you all just lose? Why have you brought people over again? Can't accept defeat?"

The middle-aged man coldly sized up Chen Yu, "Don't think that just because you can cook you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, my big brother is the real boss of this area. If he says you can't set up stall here, then you've got to get out!"

Chen Yu arched an eyebrow; he hadn't expected the people here to be so overbearing.

"Well, in that case, we'll leave. It's not like we have anything left to sell, no need to stay anyway."

These words sounded like backing down, but if you pondered the meaning carefully, you could feel a strong sense of provocation.

The hefty man by his side was instantly enraged, pulling a knife from his body.

Chen Yu's brows knitted tightly; he had thought the guy would abide by the spirit of the contract and challenge him with culinary skills rather than pulling out a knife.

"If that's how it is, then I won't be polite!"

Chen Yu's tone suddenly turned icy. Then, with a flash, his hand reached out and grabbed the wrist of the hefty man. With a fierce squeeze, he snatched the knife from his hand and then stretched out his palm to grab the man's throat.

A scream rang out, and the large man's body slumped to the ground, collapsing.

"What did you do to me just now? Why can't I muster any strength in my body?"

The big man's voice trembled to the extreme, his eyes filled with terror. The middle-aged man by his side was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body, he fell to the ground and scurried away in an attempt to escape.

Chen Yu didn't want to bother with these thugs and simply let go of the big man's palm, leaving with the locals in tow.

Only after escorting the locals to a dock did Chen Yu stop.

"After what happened tonight, the people on that street won't let you off the hook! So you better leave fast and never come back here again."

With a helpless sigh, the locals knew they had only wanted to do a bit of business here to earn some foreign currency to support their tribe but had not expected to be bullied this way.

The group thanked Chen Yu profusely before boarding the ship that was already prepared.

After sending off the locals, Chen Yu started wandering the streets on his own.

He hadn't gone far when he felt a chill on his back as if someone was following him from a distance.

Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing before quickening his pace and heading straight into an alleyway around a corner up ahead.

The two people who had been following him hurriedly chased after him, but when they entered the alley, they didn't find any trace of Chen Yu, their eyes widening in shock.

This place was a dead-end, impossible for anyone to just disappear without a trace.

As the two men stood there frustrated, a figure suddenly dropped down from above, landing heavily on their heads.
