Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Wingsuit Enthusiast
Er Gou's spirit had reached the peak of bewilderment; he had never imagined Chen Yu could be so formidable.
Back when Chen Yu had climbed the cliff with his bare hands, Er Gou had realized Chen Yu was skilled, which is why he had brought a few more people along, all armed with weapons.
But to his surprise, these men were no match for Chen Yu, who knocked them to the ground swiftly and efficiently.
"Big brother, I know I was wrong," Er Gou begged for mercy. "From now on, do whatever you want here; I won't interfere. If there's anything you need, I'm ready to go through fire and water for you, no shirking."
Er Gou kept pleading, as if one less word spoken would result in Chen Yu throwing him off the cliff.
Chen Yu didn't waste much time there; he tossed the large bag of medicine onto a truck by the roadside, took the keys from Er Gou, and drove straight to the shipment station.
Though the batch of medicinal herbs didn't appear extensive, they were all extremely pure and valuable, any of which could potentially fetch a sky-high price at an auction if sold separately.
Therefore, he had to send all the medicinal herbs back as quickly as possible.
After making a call to Hou Jianchang and detailing some specifics, he proceeded to a small restaurant near the shipment station.
The people of Nanyun have a habit of enjoying various oddities.
These delicacies all share one common trait: bizarre flavors.
Strange-flavored broad beans were one such specialty.
Chen Yu sat down at a small stall and casually ordered a bowl of noodles.
He had expected them to be just ordinary noodles, but upon tasting the first bite, the sweet and spicy flavors melded together and shot straight to his forehead.
And on the surface of the noodles was sprinkled a layer of finely chopped vegetable leaves.
They seemed to be a unique type of coriander local to the area.
After getting used to it a little, Chen Yu took another couple of bites and rapidly analyzed the ingredients of the noodles in his mind.
Before long, he had memorized the complete recipe.
To say the noodles had a strange flavor was an understatement, but their texture was excellent, and they could be easily incorporated with various medicinal herbs to create an ideal base for medicinal dishes.
Just then, the owner of the shop approached with a smile and sat across from Chen Yu.
"By the look of it, you seem to be a connoisseur," said the owner. "Rarely does anyone savor my noodles with their eyes closed in such appreciation."
Chen Yu felt slightly embarrassed; his actions could almost be considered stealing the trade.
"I'm just experiencing this flavor for the first time and wanted to appreciate it fully. At best, I'm just a food lover, far from a connoisseur," he replied.
The owner chuckled and signaled to his staff to bring over another bowl.
"Frankly, these noodles are but an ordinary dish here, nothing special. Maybe you find them delicious because you're trying them for the first time. Anyway, we locals are quite used to them."
Chen Yu expressed his thanks and returned to eating, while the owner brought over two more side dishes.
These pickled vegetables were clearly homemade by the owner, carrying a Sichuan flavor combined with Nanyun's unique twist.
Chen Yu subconsciously reconstructed the recipes for these side dishes in his mind, knowing that in Suzhou City, they would be considered specialty dishes.
After eating his fill, Chen Yu bought a large load of supplies and headed towards the fort.
By the time he arrived at the edge of the cliff, he found Da Hu already sitting there with a few people from the village waiting.
Before leaving, he had already agreed with the chief on the time to deliver the supplies, and now the timing was just perfect.
Seeing Chen Yu coming, the villagers immediately became excited. Before, Er Gou had promised to deliver supplies to them, but he only did so when they needed medicinal herbs.
But Chen Yu really brought the supplies, how could they not be excited?
Da Hu was especially enthusiastic, moving a large amount of supplies out of the vehicle, and then used a stick to support his body as he crossed the cliff.
The others also took out their baskets, filled them with some supplies, and followed behind Da Hu.
Seeing this, Chen Yu suddenly felt an impulse to build a road for the people in the village.
But they had been living in seclusion here for over a thousand years, and they really didn't want to have contact with the outside world. If he were to build them a road, it might offend them.
Chen Yu shook his head and didn't bother with such concerns. He packed the remaining supplies on his back and followed by jumping across.
The old chief was so excited when he saw the supplies that he could hardly contain himself.
Experience exclusive tales on M-V-L
Just these supplies were enough for the village to live on for a month or two.
Seeing the old chief so happy, Chen Yu struck while the iron was hot and directly took Da Hu's hand to the old chief.
"Da Hu is really a rare talent. I want to make him my liaison for purchasing medicinal herbs from the village. What do you think?"
The smile on the old chief's face gradually stiffened, "This child is simple-minded. He has already been deceived by outsiders once; I don't want him to go out again. Besides, you can cross that cliff by yourself. Do you really have to find someone from our village?"
Chen Yu was filled with frustration. Although he could cross the cliff, he still had many things to take care of. If he waited until the processing plant began to operate, he would have even less time to come here.
Moreover, no one around him had the skills to easily travel back and forth across the cliff; he needed Da Hu's help.
"Old chief, rest assured, I would never deceive Da Hu. Moreover, with him here, he can ensure the two-way transportation of medicinal herbs and supplies."
The old chief pondered for a while, "If that's the case, then I won't say much. But if I find out that you have deceived someone from our village, I'll make sure you regret it."
Chen Yu nodded repeatedly and assured the old chief of a great many things.
While they were talking, several wingsuit flyers suddenly appeared in the sky.
With the advantage of their gear, they dove down rapidly, and it didn't take long for them to reach the village.
When the old chief saw these people, he was immediately stunned and blew the whistle in his hand.
Soon, the young and strong men of the village ran out one after another, each holding a weapon, looking very tense.
Chen Yu frowned, couldn't comprehend why a few wingsuit flying enthusiasts could scare the villagers like this.
Just then, two guys descended from the sky and landed steadily at the entrance of the village.
One of them took off his helmet and approached the old chief with an arrogant face.
"Chief, the world has advanced so far, yet you're still clinging to this little bit of land. The young people in the village should go out and see more of the world. They can't waste their whole lives here."
The old chief's teeth clenched with a crunch, "Xiao Shi Tou, what are you up to again? And you've even brought so many outsiders here."
