Chapter 1679: Boss Mag Indeed Didn’t Lie To Me

The group of ferocious-looking lava demons who were carefully using a little spoon to scoop all kinds of spices into small bowls that weren’t even as big as their palms looked hilarious.

However, this also made everyone wonder about the use of this ritualistic step. What was this dipping sauce? How would they eat the hot pot?

“Oh dear. They are using the hot pot soup base to attract customers. Those demons really came to eat the hot pot. Aren’t they the live now?” Isaac slapped his thigh in panic, and grimaced because of the pain.

“This aroma…” The skinny man sniffed the air seriously and showed a mesmerized expression, but he soon righteously said, “It’s not as good as our Cassia Hot Pot’s soup base!”

Isaac’s expression twitched. With a blush, he said, “Of course.”

All the demons finished mixing the dipping sauces according to their own preferences. Sargeras picked up the manual again, and continued, “Tripe—use the chopsticks to place it into the boiling soup pot for one second, and then take it out of the soup pot for one second. Repeat this action eight times, and it will be ready to eat. Do not cook it for too long, or it will lose its soul.”

“Tripe? What’s that?” All the demons’ gaze began to search on the trolleys.

“It’s this.” Sargeras picked up a plate of tripes from the top shelf of the trolley next to him. The thinly sliced dark brown tripes were soaked in water, and they were full of wrinkles. However, the quantity was rather ample.

All the demons took a plate of tripe each, and placed it in front of them.

“Do we really have to do it ourselves? This is the first time I have seen such eating methods.”

“But it sounds rather interesting. The soup pot and the ingredients are all readily prepared. All we have to do is to blanch them in the pot with chopsticks. It’s very simple.”

“Can the food I cooked be eaten? I almost burnt down my house the last time I tried to cook.”

The surrounding crowd all looked surprised when they heard that. Some were rather interested too.

“I heard that the tripe is very delicious. Let me be the first to try it.” Kiel picked up the long chopsticks enthusiastically, and picked up a piece of tripe with it clumsily. The lava demons ate everything with their hands. Using chopsticks was very difficult for them.

The tripe was placed into the boiling hot pot. The red soup bubbled, and when Kiel lifted his chopsticks up again, the tripe had already disappeared.

“Woah?!”

Kiel was stunned, and he quickly tried to dredge in the soup with the chopsticks. The Sichuan Peppers and cut dried chili were tossing around in the red soup, and that tripe had simply disappeared.

“Forget it. There’s no need to find a tripe that has lost its soul.” Mond patted Kiel’s shoulders as he consoled him before he picked a piece of tripe with chopsticks himself and chuckled. “I have specially practiced how to use chopsticks lately.”

Mond dipped his tripe in the red soup four times, but he lost it on the fifth dip.

Mond looked at the empty chopsticks, and depressedly said, “Hot pot… is indeed not simple.”

Cossus and Markza also picked up the tripes to try it out. They all lost the tripes in the hot pot in the end too. None of them got anything back.

“Ha. Seems like you all are not blessed to eat the tripe.” Sargeras sat up properly and picked up a tripe reverently. His every action was slow and precise like a robot’s as he blanched the thin tripe in the red soup. The tripe resembled a tiny boat struggling for survival in a storm, and after it was dipped eight times, it finally escaped the sea of fire. It was then plunged into the dipping sauce for a swim before it was fed into a wide open mouth.

The crunchy tripe made crisp sounds like an exquisite piece of music when it was chewed by the teeth. People could imagine that crunchy chewiness.

Sargeras had already closed his eyes. The tripe was soaked in the red oil and soup, and then coated with the dipping sauce. Its mala spiciness and freshness blossomed on the tip of the tongue, and the crunchy texture brought about the most beautiful feedback!

What a mesmerizing taste!

What a beautiful texture!

He almost didn’t know how to describe this exquisite enjoyment. That stern face revealed a blissful smile, and a warm sensation emerged on the tongue and spread to his torso and limbs.

“Phew!”

Flames emerged from the top of his head.

The lava patterns on his body became red, and fiery red lava began to flow gradually in those patterns. Only his hands were still normal, but he didn’t know that at all.

Gulp.

The sounds of gulping could be heard.

There was no need for any more explanations. Sargeras’ expression and actions had expressed more than any words ever could.

Everyone seemed to have tasted that tripe’s scrumptiousness and crunchiness too. Just that spicy aroma alone made their throats feel hot.

“I actually wanted to eat something after watching a demon eat it?” A young girl pinched her thigh as she tried to prove that she was hoodwinked by some illusions.

“Hmm. It hurts…” She sucked a breath of cold air after making sure that she indeed wanted to eat it, and wasn’t hoodwinked.

“Boss Mag indeed didn’t lie to me. This tripe is really delicious.” Sargeras opened his eyes and smiled before he picked up another piece of tripe, and blanched it in the pot again.

“Let’s do it again.” Kiel and the rest began their second and third attempt.

After failing a few times, Kiel finally found the tripe that he lost a few rounds ago in the pot.

Although the texture was a little overcooked and less tender, the tripe was much spicier after it was soaked with the red soup base. It lit him up right on the spot.

“Woo, woo, woo!”

All the lava demons were lit up one by one like human-shaped torches, and they were eating very happily. They made the extremely cold outdoor environment feel like a sauna.

Even the customers watching them felt much warmer. They looked at the group of stalwart lava demons blanching all kinds of food in the red soup pot clumsily with amazed expressions.

However, it was that weird and hilarious scene which made the surrounding people gulp continuously.

Sargeras picked up the manual, and again read, “The superior ribeye sliced beef has very good marbling. Its shape resembles an eye, and that’s why it’s called that. It’s thinly sliced, so you just have to cook it in the hot pot for a brief moment before taking it out immediately.”

The demons put all the 10 helpings of sliced beef onto the table as soon as he finished speaking.

“This is easier to hold on to.” Kiel picked up a piece of thinly sliced fresh beef, and scalded it in the boiling soup pot. The fresh red color turned white very quickly before it was coated with a layer of beautiful red. He lifted it up from the pot, rolled the steaming beef in the dipping sauce, and coated it with sesame oil and gravy before putting it into his mouth.

The sliced beef had absorbed the taste of the thick broth perfectly, and that tender and delicate texture was mesmerizing. As he chewed gently, the aroma of the meat began to fill his entire mouth. It was irresistible.

Kiel only opened his eyes after a long time, mesmerized, and said, “Fantastic!”

“Alright. I’ve decided to eat here for lunch. I want to eat meat!” The young maiden tugged her friend toward the door as she wiped away the saliva at the edge of her mouth.

“This eating method is too cruel. It made my tears flow down from the edge of my mouth uncontrollably. Let’s stop looking. We’ll eat at this restaurant.” A mister with long hair pulled his gay friend toward the restaurant.

The customers who were attracted by the aroma couldn’t help but step into the restaurant after watching Sargeras and the gang eat the hot pot. It caused a small surge of customers.
