Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 818 - 778: Lao Liu’s Scheming

Moreover, the aroma released by this meeting of soy sauce and oil directly penetrated everyone's nostrils in the venue.

Lao Liu, while flipping the horse meat in the pot, couldn't help but swallow large mouthfuls of saliva.

Who knows if this guy did it on purpose, but during the flipping process, he actually let a small piece of horse meat fly out of the pot and fall to the ground.

Initially, Lin Yi didn't think much of it, as this sort of thing was normal. After all, the pot was too large, and there was a lot of meat, so some pieces were bound to fall out during the flipping.

But the action Lao Liu took next left Lin Yi completely stunned on the spot.

This simpleton casually picked up the horse meat that had fallen onto the ground and immediately squatted down to pick it up.

Not only that, but he didn't throw the piece of horse meat back into the pot; instead, he stuffed it straight into his mouth.

He didn't care about how hot the horse meat was, and although the heat made him jump in place a few times, it didn't deter him from chewing and swallowing it.

At first, Lin Yi wasn't too surprised, thinking this guy was just being frugal.

People used to hard times don't care if meat that falls to the ground can't be eaten.

But what happened next truly made Lin Yi widen his eyes, as this guy continued to flip the horse meat onto the ground from time to time after eating the first piece.

The guy's actions were surprisingly consistent; every time he would bend down to retrieve the meat that had fallen and put it straight into his mouth.

By now, Lin Yi knew exactly what was going on: this guy was obviously too tempted to resist.

Clearly, the action of flipping the horse meat onto the ground was intentional.

Not only did Lin Yi catch on to this, but everyone around them did as well.

Later on, as soon as this guy flipped some horse meat onto the ground, before he could squat down, someone nearby would dart in, grab the meat from the ground, and stuff it into their own mouth.

Seeing this, Lao Liu was utterly dumbfounded.

He glanced around incredulously and found the people around him staring at him intently, like a pack of hungry wolves, which made him shiver.

He realized that these people were all targeting the meat that he had intentionally flipped onto the ground. He knew that if he did it again, they'd all swarm in again.

He probably wouldn't even get a hair of that meat.

Thinking of this, he decided to be straightforward and stopped flipping any meat onto the ground.

Smacking his lips as he savored the tasty flavor, he secretly thought to himself, if I can't eat it, neither will you. Heh, just wait, not a single morsel will fall to the ground this time.

Sure enough, from the moment he realized his horse meat was being snatched, he never let a single piece fall again, frustrating the people around him to the point that they wanted to pummel him.

But with Lin Yi right there, they couldn't bring themselves to do it, nor did they dare to.

Watching as the meat in the pot was nearly done, Lin Yi casually pulled out a few large buckets of mineral water from his System Space, and under the astonished eyes of the crowd, poured it directly into the large pot.

Seeing such clear water, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva again.

It wasn't just the meat enticing them; the sweet spring water attracted them even more.

Since Lin Yi was the one pouring the water, they stayed quiet and watched.

If it had been anyone else, they would have rushed over, snatched that water, and gulped it down.

After pouring in more than a dozen buckets of water typically used on water dispensers, they finally filled the three large pots.

But that wasn't all. After adding the water, Lin Yi threw a few packets of special meat stewing spices into the pot before ordering to cover the pot.

However, after issuing this command, everyone just looked at each other in confusion.

It was only after Lin Yi inquired that he found out it had been difficult enough for them to procure these three large pots, and as for the lids, they were long gone.

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Finally, he searched through his System Space, found a few iron plates roughly the size of the pot tops, and used them to cover the pots.

After finishing everything, Lin Yi clapped his hands, then looked around and instructed:

"Don't bother with them for two quarters of an hour; after that, uncover the tops, stir the meat once, then cover it again and let it simmer for another hour."

Even though the people were drooling madly, they had no choice but to nod and agree to Lin Yi's orders.

Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

Brushing off the spices from his hands, he leisurely walked back to his tent.

There was still time, so after going back to brush his teeth and wash up, he'd come back out to eat.

However, as he stepped towards his tent, he was surprised to see the neighboring tent moving constantly.

This piqued his curiosity; he wondered what Leng Yu was doing next door.

Considering the noise he had just made, Leng Yu hadn't come over at all.

At first, he thought she was still sleeping, but that clearly wasn't the case now.

Should he go take a look?

Thinking about it, he shook his head and decided against it. If he went over suddenly and found her doing something inappropriate, it wouldn't be proper.

With that thought, Lin Yi decided not to concern himself with it and went back into his tent to tidy up and freshen up.

As time ticked away, sounds of amazement occasionally came from outside.

Of course, these sounds were elicited by the irresistible aroma released when the pot lid was lifted and the meat inside was stirred.

Even Lin Yi, who was in his tent at the moment, could smell that unique stewed meat aroma wafting into his nostrils.

Raising his wrist to check the time, he saw it was nearly an hour.

So he began to walk outside.

But when he stepped out of his tent, he was stupefied to see the tent next door still moving relentlessly.
