Prince Yong's Mansion, Dining Room.
The spirit chef was staring blankly at a piece of flesh and blood in front of him—dragon meat!
Just now, the Princess Consort had someone deliver a large piece of dragon meat, weighing over a hundred catties.
The dragon was the guardian beast of the Qing Dynasty.
Even if the dragon wasn't the guardian beast of the Qing Dynasty, its individual strength alone made it impossible for ordinary people to harm it. Moreover, the imperial court had laws proclaiming to the world that the dragon was the guardian of the Qing Dynasty, and any person, sect, or family that dared to harm the dragon would have their entire clan exterminated.
There's a saying that goes, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground."
As a spirit chef, who wouldn't want to use dragon meat to make spirit dishes? The problem is, divine dragons are hard to find, and besides, a lone spirit food hunter facing a divine dragon will only end up being eaten.
"Granny Rui, is this really dragon meat?"
Pao Jia remained dizzy for quite some time, countless thoughts racing through his mind, before finally regaining his senses and being able to think normally again.
"This is naturally dragon meat. If the Princess Consort brought it out, how could it be fake?"
Granny Rui rolled her eyes at the cook, "You'd better not ask such questions again. Otherwise, even if you're a master chef, you can't bear this responsibility."
The difficulty in mastering the art of cooking lies primarily in the lack of ingredients.
However, in Prince Yong's mansion, it is not difficult to train a master chef.
With an ample supply of ingredients, becoming a top-tier chef is not difficult for anyone with even a little talent. Pao Jia is indeed the only chef in the Yong Prince's Mansion at present, but he knows that it's not that the Yong Prince's Mansion needs him, but rather that he needs to rely on the Yong Prince's Mansion.
As a chef determined to surpass the legendary master chef Pao Ding, Pao Jia needs more ingredients.
To achieve this, even staying in the palace is not as good as staying in Prince Yong's residence.
"Granny Gui, Jia isn't questioning the Fujin. It's just that this is dragon meat!"
"So what if it's dragon meat?"
Granny Rui was now completely won over by Rong Xi's methods. She even felt that it would be perfectly normal for Rong Xi to obtain something like dragon liver and phoenix marrow someday.
"Granny Rui, have you forgotten? The imperial court has long stipulated in its laws that the Divine Dragon is the guardian beast of the Great Qing Dynasty. Anyone who dares to harm the Divine Dragon will have their entire family wiped out!"
"..."
Granny Rui waited for Pao Jia, remaining silent for a long time, just staring at him intently.
Pao Jia felt uneasy under Rui Mama's gaze.
Seeing that Pao Jia's eyes were flickering, Granny Rui spoke slowly, saying, "You're so slow-witted, I'm afraid you'll never have a chance to surpass the founder of Mount Ling in this lifetime!"
"This is dragon meat, dragon meat!"
"In folk tradition, what exactly is called dragon meat? Don't you have any idea?"
This is dragon meat, but when Granny Rui says it, this real dragon meat becomes snake meat. Of course, this is just to silence the gossip.
"The old woman is right; it's Jia who's not getting it!"
Pao Jia wasn't an idiot; he knew perfectly well what mistake he had made. Some things are better left unsaid, even if you see them clearly.
"Hurry up and put in the effort to make this dragon meat taste good. There will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future!"
Although Granny Rui didn't know where Rong Xi had gotten the dragon meat from, it was so fresh that it was clearly just taken from a dragon. Granny Rui even suspected that her mistress might be keeping a dragon as a pet.
Well, that's indeed the case.
Rong Xi raised a dragon, which was the Azure Dragon King of the True Dragon Clan.
From this day forward, the Azure Dragon King will become a dedicated meat dragon, providing dragon meat as the price for its survival.
"Don't worry, Granny, Jia knows what to do!"
Real dragon meat, and more to come. Throughout history, countless spirit chefs have existed, but perhaps none have had such a fortunate experience as him.
The ingredients are plentiful and come in a wide variety.
Today we have dragon meat, and maybe in a couple of days we'll have phoenix meat.
Thinking about his future career as a spirit chef, Pao Jia felt a blissful dizziness.
...
Rong Xi had no idea that a piece of dragon meat she had casually acquired would excite Pao Jia so much.
She was currently pondering another question: should her Yantian Sect also be formally established? At present, the Yantian Sect only had three official members.
She herself was the sect leader.
Magpies, crimson and purple, and messengers on the left and right.
The ancient Yantian Sect, renowned throughout the ages. Even after its lineage was severed for countless years, it still managed to maintain its status as the number one and most powerful sect in the world by relying on a portion of its legacy.
Now that Rong Xi has inherited the sect leader's legacy of the Yantian Sect, she naturally has an obligation to carry forward and promote the Yantian Sect.
"Magpie, Crimson Purple, don't you think our Yantian Sect should open its gates wider?"
"Sect Master, you can make the decision. We'll all listen to you!"
"Are you mistaken? You are the left and right envoys of the sect!"
Rong Xi stared at the two of them.
Magpie shrugged and said, "Sect Master, you're making things difficult for us. We sisters don't know anything about this. Of course, we'll listen to you. If you say we'll go up the mountain, we'll go up the mountain; if you say we'll go to sea, we'll go to sea!"
Jiang Zi nodded in agreement, indicating that she agreed with the magpie's statement.
Rong Xi sighed and said, "Never mind, I knew I shouldn't have asked you!"
These two messengers are unreliable.
Well, even though she, as the sect leader, is just as unreliable.
"Sect Master, why don't we bring Granny Rui and Granny Xiang in as well?"
Jiang Zi remained silent for a long time before suddenly uttering these words.
Rong Xi is also considering this.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang have more experience, and they are more adept at handling certain matters than she is. A sect without a few experienced people in charge is simply too weak.
Rong Xi had considered using the management methods of modern companies to manage the sect, but upon closer examination, she realized it was fundamentally flawed. A sect needs its disciples to feel a sense of belonging. For the sect, they would be willing to die for it. But in a modern company, loyalty is nonexistent as long as the pay is high enough.
If a sect lacks loyalty, then it ceases to be a sect.
"This matter is worth considering!"
Rong Xi took a deep breath. "However, even if we want to recruit Granny Rui and Granny Xiang into the Yantian Sect, we should ask for their consent first. If they have a master, forcing them won't work."
"Sect Master, I've already inquired. Granny Rui and Granny Xiang didn't have any formal teachers. They distinguished themselves through their own efforts, and the cultivation techniques they acquired were all obtained through their own hard work and exchanged with the imperial court!"
The magpie immediately jumped up, giving Rong Xi a sense of reassurance.
Rong Xi frowned, blinked, and said, "In that case, Xi Que, go and invite Granny Rui and Granny Xiang here!"
