Xu Dashan spoke and then walked towards Red Fragrance Alley with his hands behind his back.
His words remained cryptic.
His true goal was to have Mu Bai and the organization behind him rely more heavily on Red Fragrance Alley, so he couldnt feed them all at once; it had to be done in stages.
He might even put on an act of hard won achievements.
To sequentially earn the favor of Mu Bai and the organization behind him.
Of course, theres also probing.
Some necessary, secret probing.
He needed to use these Nourishing Essence Pills to test the endurance of Mu Bais organization.
Or more accurately: consumption.
If the talent is average, even one pill per month is somewhat a waste.
Thus, by the amount of Nourishing Essence Pills, its enough to deduce the numbers and strength of the people behind Mu Bais organization.
However, he wouldnt say this outright.
He needed his aides to figure it out.
The more they understood, the sooner they could take over his position.
But unfortunately, that aide returned to Red Fragrance Alley without realizing it.
Nevertheless, none of this had anything to do with Jason.
Jason headed to the backyard, and upon passing through the Moon Gate, he saw two dining tables set up in front of the kitchen door.
On each table was a white porcelain plate stacked with beef slices, fresh red and milky white, complementing each other, making one drool.
Beside the two tables was a charcoal stove with an iron pot on it. The charcoal inside was glowing hot, while the pot was bubbling with spicy red oil and bright red chili peppers rolling about; Jason couldnt help but take a deep breath, the numbing spicy aroma made him salivate even before reaching the fore.
Or rather, dipped beef.
"Alright, you can go now.
Without hesitation, Jason sent Jia Youcai away.
It wasnt enough for him alone.
Jia Youcai turned and walked away reluctantly.
He realized that everything about Master Mu was great, except for his possessiveness over food.
But, that pot smelled amazing!
This noon hes having hotpot!
Jia Youcai swallowed his saliva, and his pace quickened as he left.
As Jason sat down in the backyard, Dou Bao was still fiddling with a large piece of beef, she quickly sliced the meat.
"I got the butcher to prep two cows today, Master Mu, you can eat to your hearts content, plus he sent all the offal. Ive washed tripe and such, so you can dip them directly later.
"Do you like spicy food?
"If not, I can make a mild version for you.
"And theres oil dipping and chili powder, dip them and eat, its delicious.
Dou Bao started speaking in a strong regional accent unconsciously.
"Shouldnt the meat be dipped in the oil and chili powder?
Jason picked up his chopsticks.
"Oil dip and chili powder are the soul, do you want to add green onions?
Dou Bao picked up the plate of chopped scallions.
Jason said without hesitation, meanwhile, a piece of beef was already being dipped in the oil, covered in the fragrant oil and garlic paste below, and rolled in the chili pepper powder on the side.
The moment it entered the mouth, it was fiery hot.
Then, chewing generously, the juicy meat exploded quickly.
The flavor became increasingly delicious.
If the spice were a sword, teasing Jasons taste buds, then the meat was the armor, repeatedly allowing Jason to withstand the sword.
Letting Jason experience the irresistible allure of spice and delicious food.
One slice after another was lifted.
One slice after another entered his mouth.
After eating for a while, Jasons forehead was slightly sweating.
It really came down to one word: awesome!
Meanwhile, Dou Bao, who was slicing beef, smiled happily, suddenly thinking of something; the knife paused suddenly, and her brows furrowed
