Since Duanmu Huai ate it, Shajuye naturally didn't hesitate anymore, and obediently sat down to start dining. Only Social Man and the Guy with glasses exchanged looks, watching everyone eat.
Social Man clearly wasn't going to eat, but seeing everyone else enjoying the food, the Guy with glasses couldn't help but quietly sit next to them and cut himself a piece of meat to eat.
Blondie's speed was the fastest, and considering there wasn't much steak to begin with, in no time at all he finished it all like a whirlwind, then took a sip of red wine, looking quite satisfied.
"Whew... delicious, delicious. To be honest, this is the first time I've tasted such tasty steak. It seems different from regular steak; the texture seems more delicate..."
While swaying his head and commenting, Blondie turned to look at Social Man.
"Too bad your dog isn't here, otherwise it could test for poison."
"Hmph, what a joke."
Hearing Blondie's words, Social Man snorted coldly.
"It'd be better for you to test for poison."
"Are you eating or not? If you're not, I'll eat it."
Saying this, Blondie reached out for the remaining steak, only to have his hand slapped away by Social Man.
"I never said I wouldn't eat!"
After saying this, Social Man glared at Blondie unhappily, then sat down to eat.
Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai glanced at Social Man and asked.
"By the way, your dog isn't sick, right?"
"Of course not!"
Mentioning his dog, Social Man immediately became proud.
"I always get its vaccinations on time, and last night I even gave it a special bath! It's very healthy! No diseases whatsoever!"
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai nodded.
Then there's no problem.
Everyone was exhausted from the day's work and very hungry, so they devoured the steak in no time. Of course, leaving the plates here wasn't an option, so everyone went to the kitchen to put the plates in the sink, planning to wash them later.
"I wonder if Meijia has anything to eat..."
Shajuye was still very worried about Meijia. After all, it had been half a day since Meijia disappeared. With such heavy rain, she surely couldn't get out. If she was locked up somewhere without food, she must be starving...
"Don't worry."
Blondie seemed much more relaxed after eating and drinking his fill.
"There are plenty of ingredients here. Once we find Meijia, we can easily prepare her a feast. Look..."
As he was saying this, Blondie opened the fridge door, and then...
"Uwaa!!"
The next moment, Blondie screamed and fell to the ground in fright!
Hearing Blondie's scream, everyone turned their heads to look, and then they were all shocked!
In the refrigeration compartment of the fridge, a dog's head was displayed on a platter, baring its teeth and glaring at them!
"Ah—————!"
"Eek...!"
Even the Spicy Girl and Shajuye were startled, dropping the plates they were holding to the ground with a clattering crash.
But at the moment, no one cared about that; they were all staring at the dog's head in the fridge, their minds blank.
Next, everyone came to a realization—what they ate for lunch wasn't steak at all!
"Ugh—————!!"
Social Man's face turned pale as he covered his mouth and was the first to run out, while the others didn't look much better, and Shajuye also clutched her chest, feeling waves of nausea. However, just then, Duanmu Huai extended a hand and pressed it on Shajuye's shoulder.
"All right, Shajuye, don't worry, it's fine."
"F-fine?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's sudden reassurance, Shajuye was taken aback, and Duanmu Huai nodded.
"I just asked that guy, didn't he say? His dog is very healthy, not sick, and it's vaccinated. So don't worry, it's fine to eat."
"Uh......…"
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless. They wondered why Duanmu Huai had asked Social Man such a strange question just now, and now it turned out... it was for this?
Compared to the others, Duanmu Huai was quite calm about it; it's not like he'd never been to a dog meat festival, and he's eaten dog meat before. Dog meat is also known as fragrant meat, or "earth lamb." The flavor is quite nice, of course, if you know how to cook it. If not, any meat can be ruined.
Speaking of which, this trick only works on those dog-loving Westerners.
Looking at the dog's head in front of him, Duanmu Huai remained unfazed. He could understand why someone would do this; if a Westerner ate a steak made of dog meat, and it was so delicious, they'd surely have an overwhelming sense of guilt, more than if they had eaten human flesh.
You could imagine them getting a rush of emotion, clenching their teeth, and possibly even shooting themselves in the head. Committing suicide to atone wouldn't be out of the question, given that Westerners are like that—they cherish dogs more than their own children. Tell them to eat their kid, they might not resist as much, but eat a dog, and it's like asking them to eat their own father. Really, they'd be ready to hang themselves.
In a game, it would be like [Westerner discovers they ate dog meat, deeply shocked, unable to accept, SAN value -10]
But Chinese? With dog meat cooked so well, why reduce the SAN value? Why not have more? (Sanity +10) would be more fitting.
So for Duanmu Huai... his current thought is...
Can this dog's head be cooked...?
