"This...this taste..."

The factory manager chewed on beef, his eyes wide like saucers, and mumbled indistinctly.

"Bitter, but with a sweet aftertaste? It also has a grassy flavor, numbing and spicy, and this, this is actually quite delicious?"

"Yes, factory manager! This beef... is so tender! And it's quite flavorful!"

Old Li didn't care about his image anymore and picked up another piece of tripe with his chopsticks. "This tripe is delicious! It's crispy!"

"Strange! So strange! But... I can't stop!"

Another young chef, while grimacing, picked up another large mouthful of tofu skin.

The scene instantly became a major "I was wrong" moment, a classic case of being proven wrong.

The crowd, who had just been disgusted and wanted to stay away from the place, were now gathered around the pot of beef offal hotpot, their chopsticks flying up and down as they ate with great relish, constantly making sounds of amazement and wonder.

Their sense of smell has begun to betray their common sense, while their taste buds are carrying out a revolutionary upheaval that will overturn their worldview!

Zhou Yang looked at the scene and a smile appeared on his lips.

Sure enough, no one can escape the "it smells so good" phenomenon, especially when faced with food enhanced by the system!

Seeing that the pot of beef offal hotpot was almost empty, Zhou Yang spoke up at the opportune moment: "Factory Manager, how does it taste?"

"Delicious! Strange, but really delicious!"

The factory manager wiped his mouth, his face still flushed with lingering satisfaction.

He gave a thumbs up, "Young Master Zhou, your skills are amazing, absolutely amazing!"

"I've worked in a meat processing plant for twenty years, and this is the first time I've ever known that the stuff inside a cow's stomach could taste so good!"

"You flatter me."

Zhou Yang smiled and pointed to the remaining half pot, "Consider this pot a treat for everyone to try, and I'll give it to you, the factory manager."

"Oh dear! I can't accept that!"

The factory manager was being polite, but his eyes never left the bottom of the pot.

"Of course, after all, we've borrowed this precious land."

Zhou Yang waved his hand, then changed the subject, "Then, factory manager, regarding the supply of this cow dung raw material..."

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

The factory manager patted his chest, his attitude completely changing, "Just because of your skills, and because you've opened our eyes, from now on, however many you need, as long as our factory has them, we'll reserve them for you, guaranteed to be fresh!"

"Then thank you very much, factory manager."

Zhou Yang nodded. "However, I only need a seven-day supply for now."

"Seven days?"

The factory manager was taken aback. "How come it only takes seven days? If this stuff were made into a signature dish and we added some gimmicks, it would definitely be a hit!"

Zhou Yang shrugged, revealing an expression that said, "That's just how I am."

"There's nothing I can do. I have a wide range of interests, and my enthusiasm for one thing usually doesn't last long. After seven days, I'll probably want to try some other local delicacies."

"..."

The factory manager's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "I really can't understand the world of the rich!"

This skill, this taste—it could totally be turned into a trendy, Instagrammable dish. But this kid, is he just dabbling in it?

But all he could say was, "Fine! Boss Zhou has the skills, so he can be capricious. Seven days it is! I'll arrange for someone to pack today's portion for you right away!"

Soon, a sealable plastic bucket was brought out, filled to the brim with dark green cow dung liquid.

"Thank you very much, boss. I'm off!"

Zhou Yang wanted to pay, but the factory manager refused.

He smiled gratefully, and with the factory manager and a group of workers watching, the supercar roared away and sped off.

...

Half an hour later, at the riverside villa.

Wearing a cute apron, Xu Yao carefully took the cake out of the refrigerator and placed it on the dining table.

The air was filled with the enticing aroma of desserts, the ice cream mousse had a delicate fragrance, and the strawberries and mangoes on top made it even more fragrant.

"Ding-dong! Welcome home!"

Hearing the smart door lock make a soft click, Xu Yao greeted it with a sweet smile.

Zhou Yang walked in carrying a heavy plastic bucket.

What followed was an indescribable, extremely domineering, and peculiar smell that seemed to be a mixture of large-scale farms and fermented hay.

They swept through the entire living room like a tsunami, instantly overpowering the sweet aroma of the cake!

Xu Yao's smile froze instantly, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly, her small nostrils flared rapidly, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

She took a step back, covering her mouth and nose. "Zhou Yang! Did you go shoveling latrines?! What... what's that smell?! Ugh..."

Xu Yao felt a churning in her stomach and almost couldn't help but vomit.

Zhou Yang was both amused and exasperated by her pale and distraught appearance.

"What nonsense are you spouting! What do you mean by 'cleaning latrines'!"

He carried the bucket into the kitchen, saying, "This is some great stuff I just got! Top-quality ingredients!"

"Top-quality ingredients?!"

Xu Yao's vision blurred. "This thing... is it food? It smells like... like..."

She couldn't find the right words to describe the smell, so she could only express her feelings with an extremely disgusted look.

Zhou Yang washed his hands, but smelled a odor on them and felt somewhat disgusted.

"Hehe, this stuff is called 'cow bile,' a specialty food from Qiannan. It doesn't look or smell very appealing, but the taste is absolutely amazing!"

"cow dung?"

Xu Yao repeated the unfamiliar word, her face full of question marks, "What is that?"

"Simply put, it's the undigested grass and gastric juices in a cow's stomach."

Zhou Yang gave a simple explanation.

"..."

Xu Yao's expression instantly changed from disgust to horror, "Grass in my stomach? And gastric juice? Zhou Yang! You're not kidding me, are you?! That's just..."
