"Fang Rui, why does it take you so long to order a meal?"
As soon as Fang Rui entered the box, he heard Wang Chen complaining.
"In order to ensure the freshness of the meat, the meat here is freshly slaughtered. Therefore, for each piece of meat, I need to select the slaughter target."
After sitting cross-legged on the comfortable tatami floor, Rui explained casually.
"Will the food in this place really taste good?"
Wang Chen looked at the private room, which was as luxurious as a large hotel in the three districts. He couldn't help but worry about the taste of the food.
Due to her special family background, she went to those big hotels quite frequently.
In her impression, this kind of hotel is mainly used to enhance conversation, and the quality of food is relatively average.
After all, few people who go to these big hotels really go there for the purpose of eating.
"certainly……"
Fang Rui nodded and said confidently:
"I dare not say anything else, but as far as the entire twenty-fourth district is concerned, the skills of the chefs here should be the best.
The ingredients and eating styles are also the most complete and best.”
"Gu~are the grilled skewers the most fragrant?" Wang Chen asked subconsciously, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Ever since she came to the 24th District and ate the flavored skewers here once, she was attracted by the fact that each piece of meat was half a fist-sized, and every inch of the surface was grilled until it was charred and crispy, and it exploded with every bite.
The special grilled skewers filled with sauce completely impressed me!
She thinks it is the most delicious food in the world!
"The grilling method and sauces of every skewer in the 24th District are basically the same. There are only two keys to the difference in taste, and that is the quality of the meat and the skill of the chef, and this store can provide
The meat quality of the various meats should be the best in District 24. The chef’s skills are definitely top-notch.”
"What if I want to eat the flesh of a cursed creature?"
"Of course there are." Fang Rui nodded and introduced:
"The main ingredient used in the cuisine we are eating today is a freshly slaughtered E-class cursed creature 'Poison Horned Buffalo'."
"Cursed creature?! Or is it E-level?!" Wang Chen was shocked. She didn't expect to be able to eat delicacies with cursed creature meat as the main ingredient today.
The meat quality of cursed creatures is much better than that of ordinary animals. However, because cursed creatures are not easy to catch and breed alive, the power of the curse in the body will escape after death, contaminating the meat, damaging the environment, and other reasons. Cursed creatures are used as food.
The situation is still relatively rare.
Even if you want to eat delicacies with cursed creature meat as the main ingredient in the third area, the difficulty and cost are extremely high!
Not to mention the 24th District, which is several stages of development behind District 3.
"This Xiaochou Pavilion should be opened by your red leaves, right?" Wang Chen guessed thoughtfully.
"Smart." Fang Rui nodded and introduced:
"Actually, this Xiaochou Pavilion is not only a place to eat, but also a comprehensive institution for Hongye to sell cursed creatures, information, cursed objects, and even human lives."
"Human life?" Wang Chen didn't know what Fang Rui meant.
"Collecting people's money to help them eliminate disasters is also one of our Hongye's side jobs."
"Your Red Leaf Gang is still a killer organization behind the scenes?" Wang Chen finally understood what Fang Rui meant.
"Yes, the wooden deacon Nalan Fangfang you met is the deacon who is mainly responsible for assassinations and intelligence."
"What kind of group are you Hongye?" Wang Chen couldn't help but frowned.
She thought that if she knew Hongye's secrets, she would already have a lot of secrets, but she didn't expect that the many secrets she thought were just the tip of the iceberg. The entire Hongye Gang was just like Fang Rui, enigmatic, and she didn't know how many secrets were hidden inside.
"You can think of it as a money-making organization. As long as we can make money, we are basically involved in everything."
"But……"
Wang Chen wanted to say, 'You have a cursed crystal mine here. Even if you don't do anything, you won't be short of money or resources!', but just as he opened his mouth, he realized that there was Lan Ruoqiao, who had been silent, listening next to him.
Finally, he quickly shut his mouth.
"You Hongye Gang seem to be very interesting..."
After noticing Wang Chen's gaze, Lan Ruoqiao slowly "looked" at Fang Rui.
"Yes, and in addition to the interesting business of our Red Leaf Gang, the station and personnel in the α restricted area are also very interesting."
Fang Rui also looked at Lan Ruoqiao.
"Can I interpret this as you inviting me?"
"No need to understand."
Fang Rui shook his head and said directly:
"Miss Lan, can I invite you to go to our Red Leaf City with Wang Chen?"
"Emm... Yes, yes, but can you agree to one condition?" Lan Ruoqiao hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"tell me the story……"
"Don't call me Miss Lan, call me Ruoqiao like Achen..."
"my pleasure!"
…
"???"
Seeing the relationship between the two people rapidly getting closer in front of him, Wang Chen suddenly felt as if he was being used by Fang Rui.
Where was Fang Rui just introducing her to the background of Xiaochou Pavilion and the business of Hongye Gang?!
He was obviously using her to introduce the Hongye Gang to Lan Ruoqiao, trying to arouse this girl's interest, and then trick her into going to Hongye!
"I finally understand! You brought us here, eating is the second priority, and taking a chance to get to your red leaves is the main purpose!"
Wang Chen, who had figured everything out, suddenly said with an unhappy expression.
"Didn't I invite you two? Why did I kidnap her alone?"
Fang Rui corrected the question without answering.
"You invited me, but you didn't even ask for my opinion?!"
"Do I need to ask? Aren't we two in the same group?" Fang Rui asked matter-of-factly.
"I..." Wang Chen was stunned, because she just remembered that the reason she asked Lan Ruoqiao to come to the 24th District was to help Fang Rui trick Lan Ruoqiao into helping.
"Isn't your restaurant serving food too slow?! I'm so hungry!" Wang Chen, who didn't know how to answer the question, decisively changed the subject.
"Gulu~" The next second after she finished speaking, her stomach growled in response.
"I almost forgot that you haven't eaten anything all day and night. I'm going to the kitchen to see if there's anything ready. I'll bring it up for you first." Fang Rui stood up.
"I want meat! I don't want staple food!" Wang Chen reminded Fang Rui while swallowing his saliva.
"knew."
"Achen..." Looking at the box door that was slowly closed by Fang Rui, Lan Ruoqiao suddenly looked at Wang Chen and said, "He is more suitable for you than Xu Bufan."
"Well?" Wang Chen blinked.
"Like Xu Bufan, he can unleash your nature, which is very important to you, and he is much better than Xu Bufan."
"What are you talking about?! He and I are just friends!" Wang Chen retorted, somewhat at a loss.
"Did I say something wrong? I didn't say you weren't friends..."
"You're right, but I'm afraid you misunderstood."
"It doesn't matter whether I understood it wrong or not. What's important is that I said it right." Lan Ruoqiao raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Wang Chen:
"Since I am right, then even if you are just friends, you can still go after him..."
"What the hell?!" Wang Chen was stunned, and the area above his neck instantly turned red into a braised lion's head.
