Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Steak Challenge
"What\'s going on here? How many times have we told you? We\'re turning this place into a vineyard, so pack up and leave!"
The sudden voice made everyone present widen their eyes.
The villagers almost rushed up in unison to argue with them.
It looked like this wasn\'t the first time these people had come here.
And it seemed like they were very familiar with everything here as they directly took out a report on the infectious disease.
"Your resort has long finished; only our company has the technology to handle infectious diseases. This place can only be revived in our hands!"
"We\'re telling you, if you keep resisting, you have no other choice but to await death. Just sign on the dotted line and maybe you can get a compensation payment."
Chen Yu sat there quietly, tending to the villagers\' illnesses on his own.
He was all too familiar with these tactics: some corporation had taken a fancy to this place\'s location and was trying to drive the villagers out in order to buy the land at a low price.
While the villagers were in an endless argument with these people, Chen Yu suddenly stood up and picked up a pack of medicine to throw out.
The powder from the medicine bag scattered upon hitting the ground, its strong medicinal scent spreading out at that moment.
"You just added some chronic poison to the heavy metals; this isn\'t really that clever. How can you have the gall to come here to acquire the resort?"
At these words, the group of people widened their eyes, staring at Chen Yu with a strange look.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in our business? I advise you to scram, or we\'ll break one of your hands."
Chen Yu ignored them and took out a walkie-talkie from his body.
"Captain Zhou, did you hear what they just said?"
"We heard it!" With Zhou Shengtao\'s voice coming through the walkie-talkie, a chorus of police sirens followed, enclosing the area.
He had called Zhou Shengtao the night before, sending over the coordinates of five people in the jungle.
Zhou Shengtao began to deploy his plan, quietly capturing those five people, then hiding his forces around the resort.
Before the gang could react, a large number of relevant personnel rushed out from hidden corners and completely subdued them.
Looking at the villagers, Zhou Shengtau sighed helplessly.
"There\'s been too much happening lately. We\'ve received tips about the situation here, but, with no leads, it was tough! Besides, nobody would think about poisoning."
Chen Yu didn\'t say much, just continued brewing the medicine there.
The resort project was a good one; as long as all the villagers could come back, operations could recover, plus Chen Yu had plans to invest.
Chen Yu stayed there for three more days to handle some aftermath matters, then left with Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan.
But he didn\'t return to the city; instead, he headed straight to another tourist destination.
Now, during the summer holiday, Chen Yu decided to take Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan for a trip, which also served as a honeymoon.
On the Aegean Sea beach, Chen Yu buried his body in the sand comfortably, with Tuan Tuan mimicking him and lying beside him.
"Daddy, the sand here is so comfy, and the color is pretty, too, it\'s pure white."
Chen Yu raised his hand and grabbed Tuan Tuan\'s shoulder, "Where did your mom go?"
Tuan Tuan pointed to a small stall nearby, "Mom said the steak here is delicious, and she\'s going to buy two servings!"
Chen Yu looked up and saw that at this moment, Tong Ya was queuing in front of a steak food cart.
The scent wafting from the cart was extremely rich and smelled quite authentic.
The steak being used, it seemed, was a carefully selected filet mignon.
However, amidst that authentic scent, Chen Yu detected a jumbled aroma of cumin and spices mixed together.
This could enhance the taste of the steak, but it would spoil the steak\'s own flavor.
Chen Yu directly pulled Tuan Tuan up and walked over to the food cart, but as soon as he got close, he noticed the chef giving Tong Ya a lecherous look.
"Beautiful miss, you must have been attracted by the scent of my steak. I can make you a signature steak for free!"
Although Tong Ya\'s face bore a smile, her eyes were filled with intense wariness.
"No need, I\'m here to buy steak, not to freeload a meal and drinks!"
Her voice carried a certain haughtiness, as if she was rejecting someone from a thousand miles away.
However, the chef didn\'t show any displeasure; instead, he seemed even more interested in Tong Ya.
"It\'s okay, consider it my treat! You only have to share a drink with me."
Tong Ya\'s face suddenly showed traces of anger, and just as she was about to leave, Chen Yu suddenly arrived at her side and grabbed her wrist.
"Your steak is so disgusting, yet you still want to force this beautiful miss to eat it. I can\'t imagine what you\'re thinking!"
The chef glared with wide eyes as if he had been greatly insulted and slammed his hand down on the cutting board fiercely.
"You dare say my steak is disgusting! I am a Michelin three-star chef, and many people can\'t even get a taste of the steak I make even if they line up."
Chen Yu chuckled, "I am a chef too, and if you don\'t mind, let\'s see whose steak is more delicious."
The chef directly took out a certificate from his body, seemingly to intimidate Chen Yu.
"Lucas!" Chen Yu read the name aloud and raised an eyebrow.
He had actually heard of this name before. When he was in college, he had seen an interview with this person on a food program.
However, the guy in front of him seemed much younger than the one he had seen on the program.
"Indeed, I am the thirteenth-generation heir of the Lucas Family!"
Chen Yu felt like laughing at this point. It turned out to be a family affair after all.
"Alright, then consider this a challenge to your entire Lucas Family!"
With that, Chen Yu went straight to the back of the food cart and began to cook a piece of filet mignon.
It had to be said, the steaks prepared by this guy were top-notch, not only deliciously tender but also emanating a faint fragrance, likely from cattle bred specifically for this purpose.
Chen Yu\'s cooking was extremely straightforward, following the usual method of making steak, only he sequenced the spices differently from most people.
Moreover, he had strict control over the quantity of each spice, treating the cooking of the steak as if conducting a very precise chemical experiment.
